Hunter Class Vs. PVE

[sponger100]

I feel like this game is very unbalanced as far as choosing a character goes. It feels like you are forced to pick certain classes depending on what you want out of the game.

I have quite a few hours in game now, and my main is a Hunter. It feels like the class is severely under powered in PVE. I played the first 14 levels solely with my cousin who at the time was a miner, and compared to him early on, i felt like the hunter had pretty good damage. But soon my cousin switched to a Mercenary and all of a sudden, my hunter felt very weak compared. He had more DPS, more health, more stamina, and could actually take some damage.

Now we're both a bit higher and the difference is even more noticable... While he at level 17 can take on a fire spider up to level 6 SOLO, i with my level 23 Pioneer rifle can barely take a level 5 (and i usually take a hit). So what gives? Even starting to damage those things at a considerable distance, I still struggle to kill them, even when i hit every single hit, and yes i use 7.62x54 HP rounds. So I can't really get anymore damage out of my setup.

I would understand the health, stamina, and defense difference if this class could actually do some decent damage towards the enemies in the game, and I don't think having a PVP advantage should make the class worthless in every other aspect.

Can someone contact developers about this? Hunter class is losing high part of player base. Saddest thing that i found really old posts with same problem and still nothing fixed

Yeap the complains are super old already. They dont understand that there are more classes than miner and merc i guess.

Yeah I would really like to keep playing but after 120hs wasted in this garbage character I feel hopeless. At the very least I would start all over again with a different class but the swaps/slots ask a lot... can someone help me to carry over my stuff? Or anyone knowing a legit method? So I could start a new char with my previous stuff... I just can't keep playing like this.

It's the worst class ever created. Make a miner and instead of shotgun equip him with a sniper you can f*** like 3 hunters before going down.

The only hope for the class hunter is in the reworked talent tree. If that sucks we are doomed.

Speaking of which, when is that due?

Who knows probably emojis and a gun that shoots fireflys that do absolutely nothing but look prety gona be a prioritiy before that. Damn im so pissed.

Oh and a new weapon category for the hunter class that will more represent the high caliber ammo thats in the actual chambers. And its gona be replacing sniper rifles. The category will be named Airsoft rifles and all of the appropriate effects will change accordingly to better represent the actualy power level of airsoft rifles. But watch out if you get hit in the eye it might kill you in one shot maybe if you are not miner.

This topic didnt get up for quite a bit of time. We need to make sure its visible all the time. Basicaly tl,dr: hunter class sucks please fix somehow. If you want us to be super squishy dudes that cant even carry ♥♥♥♥ alteast give us super mobility or something to balance it out atleast a little bit. Anything would work really.

I've been highlighting these issues and more since before it recently came trendy, around a year ago. I had hopes for this game with such potential but I have no more belief the developer/s actually have any more ambition or ideas left for WTL beyond milking the handful of dedicated players remaining with the PTW transactions and awful CS:GO gun skin copying. (The latter being so astronomically inappropriate for a game with this setting)

all they have to do is to buff bolt action rifle

[Maddy]

I checked discussions, developers answer only in russian topics + they think VSS is super overpowered already

[Mr V]

I've made suggestion threads before over the last year or so that the devs implement a feature to allow players to debuff enemies with careful shot placement, something that could be unique to a particular weapon or class. E.G. Hunting rifle shots to an enemy's leg (or whatever part, species-dependant) can have a guaranteed or high chance to cripple the enemy for some time, reducing movement speed, allowing for more shots on target before they robot lock on to you as they always do.
Other debuffs can be caused by organ shots, criticals, etc etc etc, there are plenty of possibilities if the developers use even the tinniest bit of imagination and effort. Not only would this dramatically improve the current awful, terrible, brainless PVE, because a player will have to actually...think, but also address the weakness of rifles against mobs by adding some extra utility that other classes can't have, or would struggle to gain.

[Wulfos]

Yeah well lets really hope. The talent tree rework is literaly the only possible way to get any help. If not we are just doomed. And honestly i will just reroll to mercenary to fully enjoy the game. -.-

[Kuruseida]

I absolutely agree. Had to defect to another server where I could create a mercenary...
No way I'm paying 10 dollars for a character slot.

pvp is ok with hunter, pve is pain in the ass.. as a hunter it would be cool to be able to place bear traps or caltrops, just like mines
