..I know at this point the TH community is starting to sound like a nagging wife, the thing is this nagging wife seems to nag for a reason, and a damn good reason..
TH right now is enjoyable, at least, you even managed to correct the MISSING AMMO BOXES in hereford base after.. 3 patches! not bad, not bad at all, but I think now we need a little bit more..
I understand the 36 renown nerf, I know that a lot of people idle the game and get ILLICIT currency doing so, but is it really necessary to create this measure which just punishes everyone else? was it really so hard to tie the renown gain to the score thus ensuring that you need to play to earn points and the better you play the more points you earn? up to a reasonable amount: I'm not thinking more than 150 max, but give us at least that much for a successful disarm bomb on realistic! it takes 15 minutes to do one of these, and the gain is 36 points? unfair! I'd say if I kill 57 terrorists on realistic I deserve a little more, just common sense..
Realistic needs tweaking! bots are too precise and too good at sensing you, they completely ignore cluster charges but start shooting behind TWO walls of distance when you run just a bit, they SPAWN (this is only acceptable in bomb, why in th classic?) behind you and outside the building, they keep jamming and become unresponsive in some places, and protect the hostage can't be finished 1 every 10 matches because they glitch or never spawn
We've been asking for a marginal amount of customization for years now.. very simple things! sliders for number of terrorists, c4, cameras, bombers, that kind of thing, I don't think it would be so hard and it could really make terrorist hunt the ultimate training ground.
i support this 100%Originally Posted by Nievenn Go to original post
ohhh... and one more small thing:
REMOVE THE GODAMN ARTICLE 5 FROM TH MATCHMAKING , THAT AWFUL CANCER HAS BEEN SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS FOR 4 YEARS NOW !!! 4 YEARS!!!!ENOUGH!!!
and yes im mad about it , its just painfuly obvious how much this hurts the game and all the new and old players, the people who cant even play alone to chill shooting bots for a decent amount of renown now have to go to matchmaking and end up on this fog 8 out of 10 times , its ridiculous , no other words for this , its downright disrespectful, what if MP players were being forced into favela 8 of 10 times? would we hear the same silence we hear about this shameful state TH is in?
you can scrape barttlet of your preferences , search in hard or realistic, and you still get sucked in !!! i mean... WTH? where did i sign into this when i bought the game?
and i wouldnt mind playing barttlet ,the map, within a healthy rotation wich is not 8 out of 10 times , its not the map that is the problem.
i wrote something along this lines dozens of times already , made numerous threads on diferent forums , and usualy the comunity response is... mehhhh , because people on the forums are the pros wannabes that dont even touch TH ,understandable , but everytime an ARTICLE 5 kicks in the players response is more than obvious "NOT THIS S... AGAIN" , and proceds to disconnect or to have a very bad experience that couldnt be more distant from the rest of the game.
TLDR; ARTICLE 5 teachs nothing to new players and creates a bad image of the game to the unexperienced with total disregard to experienced players preferences , forcing TH players to play ARTICLE 5 is not respecting them , its the oposite TH players also paid for the game , i have a season pass , all i want is my preferences respected.
and im going to respectfuly bump this thread the times needed to get an answer , im now a customer looking for an answer on an official forum.
OP: sorry for the half hijack had to add this to you very legit list of complaints , im with you.
I never got a chance to play article 5 and I have no idea what it's like since I didn't start playing the game at launch. The search time for a game is way too long and I've never found a game and I would like to be able to play it at least once to see what it's like. Does it have to be online? Why can't I do it by myself? It stops me from getting the achievement for doing all the situations
Well said OP.
I used to play a lot of siege, mostly TH lone wolf on realistic. Then the renown nerf came in and most of my free time went to other games instead, because I didn't see the point in waiting for matchmaking to find a game (often no games are found for realistic) only to have a high chance of someone TKing me as soon as I spawned.
I actually quite enjoy the occasional round of Article 5, the smoke is a refreshing change to standard games, but it gets old after a few rounds.
I suspect the inclusion of TH was just bait for PVE players to buy the game and the reason we cant start Article 5 solo is because UBI want to encourage us to move from solo to co-op and then from co-op to PVP games.
I also suspect that UBI think that more PVP = more season pass and cosmetic sales, so they want to encourage everyone to play that instead of TH. I think UBI said that outbreak was a financial failure. If true, I wouldn't expect to see anything more than the bare minimum of effort being put into PVE.
Point of TH is just to practice and learn maps without competetivnes of multiplayer. They never (at least what i know) presented Siege as PVE or singleplayer game, it was and always will be PVP game and PVE is kinda extra. Keep this on mind, its really nonsence to come up with some conspiracy theories because its just that simply.Originally Posted by king_mykl Go to original post
Thats ofcourse doesnt mean that terrorist hunt couldnt be better.
I would also like see some PVE mode whit more playable content. For example Siege mode where attackers & defenders defend objective for some time and if they succes its move to another site and so. Ofcourse there would be endless mass of bots trying to cap the objective. And there could be like even bots drones and so.
Such mode could be more fun, since now you just fortify and hold. It would be also very effective in teaching maps positions, routes and so + that level of devastation with multiple objective sites is another thing to learn (which walls, floors and cellings could be destroyed, nnew line of sights and so....)
And big bonus is - it doesnt need big rework or resources.
you should then know that former rainbow games are very well known for their TH mode that is still played by many even to this day , and UBI decided to ignore that in this iteration and that was bad enough , keeping it the way it is with close to no love in almost 4 years its disgraceful , so many resources spent in that outbreak thing just to test waters and sell packs would be 10 times more well spent improving a few key aspects of the TH we have today, and they could also sell packs from it , who wouldnt like some TH related items ? bomber skin for tachanka? anyone?Originally Posted by Idahou Go to original post
Well, you dont need sell it to me, i would like some better PvE mode. Just saying, that Siege is competetive PvP game as they stated so PvE is just minor.
If i will look back at my experiences with WoT - testing waters ussually taking a looooong time. There they testing it for longer than Siege exist![]()
The worst thing.. being ignored for 3 years consecutively and not even receive a "F*CK OFF we don't want to do ANYTHING with terrorist hunt, shut up and play online" I swear to god I would prefer that! at least it would be sincere and a real statement of intentions..
Right now, there's a little but loyal pool of players who really enjoy terrorist hunt and for good reason! the AI even though sometimes broken, works incredibly well and is very interesting to fight against, they reposition communicate and coordinate just like F.E.A.R.'s AI, and that game needed a "fighting range" too. But right now it's wasted, it's all a big waste as no one wants to play it and the few people willing to play it are frustratred because it seems incomplete..
There is so much untapped potential in TH that they've never even begun to explore. I myself bought the game just for that mode. It would be SOOOO much better if we could choose ANY operator, for ANY game mode....but alas...here we sit....envisioning greatness that Ubisoft doesn't want to reach.
I'd love for more SP and co-op stuff to be part of the game, and Terrorist Hunt is rife with potential. Tons of game modes and options are possible without even thinking about it. I know programming takes time and effort, but it's be nice if once a year the seasons gave a fully realized SP/Coop mode to players. The Outbreak mode was great ... but then (bafflingly) it went away. Why? Why not just let this be a thing for players to enjoy whenever they want?
