I recently started getting back into Hunt and I’m enjoying the event stuff enough to want to participate. However my timing is poor because I joined with just a couple of weeks left in the event which makes a lot of the progression seem pointless and even a bit discouraging.
I know I should just enjoy the game for what it is, with or without an event. The game was great even before events were a thing. But the current event design seems to maximally reward players who buy in right at the beginning and burn out over the course of the event, who likely quit and play something else until the beginning of the next Hunt event. This is an old complaint I have seen on reddit but never really felt personally until now. I’ve only been back in the Hunt for a few days now so maybe I have the wrong impression and that complaint doesn’t really apply anymore.
What are some ways to make the most of this event for a late joining non-battlepass Hunter like myself? Are there any rumours about when the next event might begin?
I understand your concerns, and I have the same issue: Burning out, put Hunt away until the next event is on, and then play the shit out of it again, putting it away after.
The event design got better, though: They now offered points for watching the stream on Twitch (2500/3000?), which did not compensate for two weeks “missing out”, but helped alot to finish the event easily. +150 Points for 2000 bloodline xp/day. Without the battle pass, there is not much you are really missing out. Just play, ignore the battle pass. If you’d like, take up the challenges, but more to mix-up your playstyle, than trying to farm the event – but you’ll still able to get at least 10 levels (10000 points) out of two weeks of challengens.
And regarding rumors: No rumors needed. The time in-between events got shorter, and shorter. I think the next one will be there around halloween.
Good insight, thanks for your reply! I think I’ll take my time to scrub the rust out and hopefully be ready and still engaged come the Halloween event.
Feel free to hang around these parts too, I’m sure we’ll keep you posted 😉
