But I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm not worried, I'm pissed. Its the second time that the technical unreliability of their crappy launcher locks me out and hinders me from playing when I want. Last time the lock lasted 8 months for me and some others as well, and saw a complete service failure of theirs. No playing, only repeated downloading and reinstalling, and no feedback in emails or in the forums.

All that while I paid money.

The game is great. The launcher, and the company is not. My attitude towards EW is - frosty. If only they would not have such a good game.

It's been awhile since I played the hunter

Looks more like a Magnum than a .22, but is my new .22 for sure. Nicknamed "Grasshopper". For everything feathery and hopping.



Also got the Karabiner 98K, since it is at -50% reduction currently. They surely designed its looks very well! Great looking model, maybe the coolest looking rifle in the game.


The Hunter - several games in one!

Has been added back to the Huntermate. If you never owned it before (I got it with the 2012 DVD), you still need to buy it. But if it costs I would say it is not worth it, the auto- race has more playable).

The Huntermate also features a camouflage-effectiveness indicator, colpour-coding how effective the items fo your cloathing are in your current location. Personally I by now ignore cloathing effects completely and even do not use scent-reduction spray anymore. People overestimate the importanc eolf these, but they only mean something when you are very close to the deer. At those ranges when you usually use a rifle or revolver, these effects should not play a role and should not be needed, if you move with care. I use cloathes for camouflage only when hunting by bow and want to get as close as possible.

A new rifle has been released, and like the Bullpup it is a 7mm Magnum with the same ammo and same range of ethical validity. So I assume they reacted to the criticism voiced by some about the ugly looks of the Bullpup, offering an alternative in looks while providing the same functionality.



Whether it handles differently (more or less sway in the sight) or is of different weight, I cannot say.

They should have offered this before the Bullpup, I would have preferred this new one over that ugly SciFi design.

Video:


By the video I just understood that the rifle has no internal magazine nor a cartridge for mounting several rounds, but loads just one round.

Since I just got the K98 and still will need time to level it up, I will not consider this rifle in the forseeable future. I like that ancient carbine, btw: less sway than the Anschütz 8x52IS, but having the same efficiency. They modelled the looks of its 3D model very nice.

A Stutzen, finally. And also a break-open rifle, awesome!
Many players are begging for that since...forever.
While the rifle doesn't make me have wet dreams, it is on my "maybe" list, due to the 7mm caliber.
I assume there won't be another 7mm soon, so...this or the ugly craprifle they released earlier.

I like it.

Just wish they would find another tester. This "McTube" guy is killing me with every video.

That other "crap rifle" actually looks ugly, yes, and the Anschütz rifles sound better, too - but in all other regards it is a superior performer in the game. I hate to admit it, but it is true.

Ugly - yes; crap - no!



Crappily ugly, maybe.

Pretty much what I meant.

In the last couple of years we have received numerous requests to add dinosaurs to theHunter. We’ve always felt that a game around hunting dinosaurs in a Jurassic environment could potentially be a lot of fun, but also worried that it would undermine the realism and credibility of theHunter, qualities that made many players fall in love with the game.

^First thing I did was checking the date to make sure it was not April 1st...

Seeing as it is a side project, and that The Hunter is still their main focus, I'm actually looking forward to this new Primal game. Might be nice to have the hunter being the hunted. With the game engine and the way the original game works, it might be quite interesting to see how it is implemented.

I am still sceptical on how this impact on the future work on The Hunter. It must cost resources if they have not increased their resource base. And as a matter of fact two important guys just left some weeks ago.

I will test it for free, maybe, but so far have no intention whatever to invest money in it. Will also not link my non-steam TH-account with Steam, even if I would then benefit from my account equipment in Primal.

At least we now know why TH was brought to Steam at all some months ago. A test run for them, to see what Steam does for them.

Who left? Where did you read that?
I could imagine some people are not so happy about the over-glorified "Pim-effect".
Maybe they left out of frustration. I am frustrated to see where the road leads to.

And I agree, it MUST cost resources, this silly Dino-project that will fail in the end anyways (mark my words...or don't...).

But who cares about pages of minor and major bugs that await fixing... let's throw more stuff out that brings dem moneyz!
