I'm partial to the idea of stopping mmr from being affected if you die within 10 seconds of being rezzed. I'm 3 star. My friend is 5 star. He downs a 6 star. He has me sit on the dead 6 star with a Shotgun in case of necro. He gets rezzed my his team multiple times and I bust him a new one each time. He is losing at least 1 maybe 2 stars from that. And I'm a 4 star after the match with no real work or skill required. None of that would be an issue if there was a 10 second delay after rezzing for mmr to be affected by a kill.

I already knew a bunch of 6* that have shitty kda bcs they already die on purpose in trios, or the patience ones that goes solo survivor. The issue is how much every kill or death increases or decreases your MMR. It should be illegal to be able to go from 3* to 6* in one day or vice versa. Ranking should be rewarding instead. You work hard for it, not "Oh I got lucky this match with my big bundle and killed 4 ppl and extracted with bounty and.. oh look at that I got a MMR star from that" just to get completely obliterated next 4 games by the higher MMR till you go back one star.

I tired to follow this guide but now I have 6 stars :( reported video

MMR should incorporate a change speed coefficient dependent on your KDA. The higher your KDA is, the more MMR you should gain per kill and otherwise for lower KDA... Meeting someone of your skill level should theoreticaly mean that you have 50 % chance of losing the fight. And this should be reflected by MMR. Matching people with similar skill levels.

Thank you so f'ing much for the first 2 mins explaining the problem. In the official Discord the mods told me so few people abuse Quickplay to derank so they are not splittling BH and QP MMR even if it would be so easy to do and nobody would be in a disadvantage. As you stated for most KD Farmers/derankers its better to do it that way so their precious BH KDA does not drop. I personally would display both KDAs in every Playmode to expose that.

Love these videos. I always have more fun in lower mmr lobbies

I like this. Interesting stuff.

@merlotwilliams that's not true. "Winning" is defined by each individual player's perspective and their goals. Just because you get pixel money by extracting with a Bounty doesn't mean that's the "win condition" of the game... if that were the case, then there would be some detriment to loading into a match, killing the whole lobby, and not bothering with even touching the Bounty - but there isn't. I can still extract without the Bounty. Hell, I can extract without interacting with a single other player in the lobby as well. That means each person can define how they want to play and what they consider to be a "win". Personally, if I do nothing but the pve in Hunt, I find it is extremely boring and unrewarding when I play. However, if I'm constantly getting into and winning pvp fights, I feel much more accomplished and get more excitement out of playing. To me, winning is wiping as many people in the lobby as possible. If I die, I die, but if I took 9 people with me, I consider that to be a good game and a solid win. I would rather wipe an entire lobby and trade with the last person than only do the pve portion of the game. The Bounty exists solely as a means by which the devs created a gameplay loop. Start match > gather clues > reach Bounty > kill Bounty > banish > pick up Bounty > (attempt to) extract > repeat process. The entire time all of this gameplay loop is happening, there is the potential for pvp to happen, and in fact, the only way to guarantee that you get the Bounty and extract with it 100% of the time is to actually kill ALL of the other players in the lobby.

@@AWeakPrinny Well written and I understand your perspective. You can extract without bounty but I would counter that the game mode is called "Bounty Hunt". The object of the game is to extract with the bounty. When all bounties are gone from the map, you have 5 minutes to extract as the objective has been claimed and there is no longer a reason for the lobby to exist. As much as people seem to enjoy the PvP aspect of the game, that is not the object of the game. Other players are obstacles to the objective, not the primary objective.

@merlotwilliams an objective is not a win condition. Be proper with your terminology. If you're talking about the primary gameplay loop, then don't be disingenuous about how you're wording what you say. Believe it or not, there are intelligent people in the world who will correct you. It is listed as a pvpve game for a reason, and pvp is just as valid of a reason to have a personally defined win condition as making pixel money is by getting more of it by extracting with a Bounty. It is called "Bounty Hunt" because that is a plausible name for the gameplay loop the devs generated, not because that's the "win condition" of the game mode. It is an OBJECTIVE. You do not LOSE if you don't get the Bounty - if that were the case, no Hunter without a Bounty would survive or be able to extract.

Honest to god didnt know the solo thing but Jesus it all makes sence now

I can't play with most of my friends because it puts us into the high end mmr range just from having me in the party. Those games are rough. You have to play competitive just to survive because everyone at that mmr level is a experienced player. I play with my duo bud that has sank more hours into this game than I have and we can't get a casual game to save our freaking lives. I play solo though and I get put into 3 star mmr. makes no fucking sense. Does Crytek actually think I'm on equal footing with a lobby of 3 and 4 stars because I'm a 5 star?

Losing expensive loadouts and high level hunters to a trio of 6* trash talkers happened way too often and made the game an unenjoyable grind. Seriously, does it matter if the lobby is full if you're not surviving match anyway? No, it doesn't. Fix your s***, Crytek.

oh lord... not sure if we needed this Video

You get money for finding clues, you get money for killing AI, you get money extracting with the bounty, you get more money the faster you extract with the bounty, you only get.... XP for killing other players, the game does not reward you for fighting and you get "punished" for getting killed once and are forced to unintentionally smurf in lower SBMM games. My friends get upset because they lost braging rights for their stars getting lowered, I get upset because I am put up against bambi and he gets punished because one 3 star got the killing blow on me in my previous game and now I am forced to smurf because that is pretty much legal smurfing.

I like your ideas - perhaps not the time limit one (as a solo) though. I'd like to see non-mmr lobbies for sure, but also, a 'risk / reward' lobby - so - as say a 3 star you can 'risk' playing against 5 or 6 stars - the reward being, you earn more money/xp than regular lobbies.

Teams should spawn at minimum 250-300 meters away from each other. For trios, i would suggest to add 1 more team to the map. So instead of 4 3-man-teams, we would have 5. Its sometimes frustrating to wander across half the map and to then die to the first team you encounter, sitting in bushes. With +1 team, there'd be a bit more action early on.

And also then you really need to forgrt the 250 meters apart from each other

my idea exctly with the mmr ranked system

I only play solo and I'm basically hardstuck at 3 star because you lose so much MMR for dying and solo is basically unplayable without self rez so I end up dying multiple times per match. This wasn't an issue when I could disable SBMM but now I can't

The method I use a lot with my friends: respec your bars like in your video, queue a few games, some teams will use some type of concertina shit, let them spam that. We usually try to just 3rd party the last teams, to make sure we get the bounty and server wipe. After we make sure the server's empty, we use concertina/traps that they left to infinitely kill our selfs and res with the bounty. This our go-to derank strat, we already did this counteless times and, depending of how many concertina/traps are in the server, you can derank from 1 to 3 stars per game. There was 2 times that I can remember, I deranked from low-6* to 3* in a single game. Of course it also depends how much MMR you lose based on the MMR of server's players. This strat doesn't work that well in low start lobbys. Players at this lobbys dont use that many traps/concertina, so we don't use this method below 4* lobbys Edit: Pro Deranker Tip: turn off master volume when it's just you and your friends in the server or else headache incomming🤣

If you are solo your MMR should only count once if you die but raise each time you kill. Right now I keep dropping MMR unless I get a KD of over 2 in a match. It's so silly.

You should make a vid on a possible replacement for SBMM

You can also lower your MMR playing Qp and dyeing.. I do wish they would fix that I like to play QP just to mess around and do dumb shit but with it lowering your MMR I dont do that anymore.

MMR just needs to be more difficult to drop and go up in. Or be a wider range, so that the difference between 4 and 5 is much greater.

I was only saying that a meta such as this could occur naturally as a result of the bounties being the main priority in a ranked game mode instead of wiping the entire map of hunters. It's not about defined roles, more like a team comp that increases the chances of your team winning.

You don’t need anything complicated, it would be so easy for Crytek to make the game more fair and enjoyable, just remove sbmm and make matches around kd, no more high level players against new players and kd farmers would have no incentive to play because they would only be matched with high kd players.

I definitely enjoyed the game more when I was able to just turn it off. I don't even know why they NOW that the game is more popular than ever completely disabled the choice, because just like before even during primetime you can get an empty game sometimes. So if it was purely to prevent empty games, it's not even doing that.

What KD farmers don't realize is that deranking in Bounty Hunt actually increases your KD faster. You're not rolling dice with the rank of your killer like in QP and dying 5-6 times in one minute to a player of (almost always) guaranteed lower rank tanks your elo faster than looking for a new player to die to in QP a single time, and the way elo is calculated, you require 2-3 kills on lower players per death to stay at the same elo. Your MMR goes down so you have easy enemies, your KD goes up so you can stroke your ego over a number in a videogame. Profit on all sides except your parents'.

I think statistically part of the problem is that there's such a narrow part of the curve when you get to the extreme highs and lows of the spectrum. I think at the end of the day this is a result of statistics but it does lead do a sort of 3-star basement. Players pool at certain points in the curve so it's not exactly easy to encounter someone ultra good or ultra bad but I imagine there's more ultra good players because people are going to keep playing a game if they're good at it. The biggest thing I noticed is the difference in playstyles between people who are at 3 stars or 5 and 6. The lower mmr is more fun and chaotic because people often panic and don't know what they're doing. It also leads to more in-game interaction and cooperative behavior than the sweaty higher tiers. Maybe the solution is to have a base 10 system instead of a base 6 system.

But I gotta admit, playing around 3-4star myself, queuing into trios feels like cheating and there shouldn't really be a mmr buff for outnumbered players, same logic going other way around - Solo having self rezz AND stealth is enough of an advantage tbh and most of the time fight begins with solo being able to kill one from a trio, making the fight 1v2.

Honestly, SBMM is the worst thing Crytek has done, and it seems that they've convinced themselves that it was a good thing to add so it will never matter how much people complain about it. They'll leave it in. What makes me think that is the removal of both the none SBMM mode and the ability to see what your teams MMR is. It took me a bit to realize why people would leave my group when I queued for duos and trio, it was because they took one look at what the match MMR was and noped out. And once Crytek removed that feature I noticed people stopped leaving regardless of what "rank" I was. If they kept those in, people would always queue for non-SBMM and not play with people with a higher rank then them, which would lead to empty lobbies and servers and they just can't have that, so obviously the right choice is to hide team MMR and remove the ability to forego SBMM entirely.

I played exclusively with SBMM turned off, it didn't exactly "turn it off" tho. If the game found people with SBMM off, it would throw you in that lobby, but if it didn't find that many people, then it used to throw you into your regular SBMM on games and it showed, there was a clear difference between how people played on both queues. Also, you're more likely to play against someone better than you with SBMM off. Even now, 5-6 stars are very unimpressive players who just farm a few kills and wouldn't push a compound even if they had a gun to their head. They're not better at the game, they just value their time much less.

@@TheAnnoyedOne Lmao, so the matchmaking doesn't separate players based on skill, but based on playstyle? That's stupid, lmao! xD

I do not want to be a bitch, but if you want to abuse a system - you can - it is not the fault of the system itself. The ELO system has been an effective method for ranking for a long time. If you give MMR for extracting bounty, KD farmers would be stomping 1-2 stars all day, coz they never extract bounty. You also play in trios, so you know how much you are farmed and killed when your teammates necro you into the enemy - how is that not a problem compared to solo necro? I think solo necro balances that statistics out; trios' members used to die much more in matches.

I feel like Hunt is split into two groups: People who enjoy a faster PvP focused experience and people who enjoy a slower PvPvE experience. I see people constantly referring to the slower players as campers, rats, or whatever derogatory term they can throw at people who don't play the way they want. There are surely a lot of people who enjoy Hunt specifically because it offers a much more nuanced and detailed world to play in than a pure PvP shooter like (for a random example) Apex Legends. I think a lot of people are more likely to take it slow in Hunt because it is designed around noise mechanics and stealth. Maybe the answer isn't just as simple as having the option to play without SBMM, maybe we need two entirely different modes. One PvP focused mode with a shorter match time and some modifications to the gameplay loop to facilitate better PvP interactions, and one mode just like it is now or maybe even heavier PvE focus than the normal game currently is. Then the people who hate bush campers and crouch walkers won't be running into them so often and people who prefer to play it slow won't have to play against so many cracked insta-headshot gamers. The two types of player don't mingle well with each other so putting them in separate matches could be a solution. Personally I'm somewhere in the middle of the two groups, whether I play fast or slow depends on my mood that day. My aim isn't all that fast or accurate so I can't keep up with 5 star lobbies but I do well enough in fights that I can't regularly stay in 4 star lobbies. I have a lot less fun when I become 5 star and everyone suddenly starts killing me with a headshot the moment I show half my character model around a corner. So the SBMM system is definitely not working for me either and I agree that Crytek needs to take another pass at balancing their playerbase out somehow.

"If you go into the match unnumbered, the game tries to hold your hand..." Must be nice, me (1.6kd 5-star) and my buddy (1.25kd 4-star) have literally been matched against a trio of 6-stars. SBMM is imaginary.

But Crytek is bragging every patch that they've got the most concurrent players ever. You'd think it'd get better not worse. Can only speak for myself but I'd rather wait 2-3 minutes for a fair match rather than instantly get into a horribly balanced lobby which is the current standard.@@alexanderhaglund90

SBMM has ruined more games than it has helped. This isnt the fucking starcraft 2 ladder, boys. Devs never want us to have fun anymore they just want every game to be a sweat fest. Don't get me wrong I've gotten heavily into competitive games, but having the option to experiment freely is more fun for more people. I find myself preferring to be 3 star where I can mess around more and prestige instead of trying as hard as I can for ultimately nothing in 5 star. I'm not sure what metrics are driving this. The people who want everything to have SBMM are simply wrong and if I could have any impact on the game industry it would be to have a full random que as a standard. Probability will handle everything better than these awful algorithms

with a game that's almost dead having a rank system to queue up with the same rank point to have a fair match is absolutely stupid LOL

@@TheAnnoyedOne empty lobbies on my asia sever here. Before wild boss update from 11 am to 12 pm found matches quickly and usually have more than 10 players every day, but now match making wait longer, lobbies usually only have 6 players in total but not just in 1 or 2 days, it has been like that since the update. I don't care about numbers you gave me, i care about how I found this game has less players from time to time

When self-res was added in the way it is right now, I figured out that it is too forgiving and too easy to abuse in the current state. You either need to be able to res yourself once, as a second chance so to say (but if you die again - you go to the lobby). So the solo-necros won't harras other solos or teams that can't just get rid of this annoying solo (me). Or, you need to have a limited time to res yourself. You can res yourself after 5 seconds and within the next minute, per say. So you will either let go other hunters, or (if you hear them on your body because these are the germans who will sit for 15 minutes on your body and will let go the bounty just to make sure you are not getting up please commit sui[REDACTED] ) you will understand that the chance is not on your side and will go to the lobby. As for MMR... yeah, plz fix fast™. At least your headshot-to-kills ratio should matter a lot. As well as main ingame goal of killing the boss (maybe, make these bosses harder to kill, so it is in fact challenging and not boring? add different stages for different amount of HP?).

Matches don’t need to be 45 minutes for sure. Also because of how solos derank you almost never run across them in 4 or 5 star lobbies, they are all in 3 star lobbies bullying noobs

To address campers, i have an idea: Similar to afkers in dead by daylight when you are not moving at all or too little, then crows appear, circling over you, alerting the killer to your position. If we adapted this idea for hunt, it could be made that you have to move X meters/cover a certain distance in a given timeframe (think 10 meters within 1.30 minutes; numbers serve as examples) before crows or even vultures (new wildlife) appear, who mistake non-moving players as corpses (somewhat fitting for the atmosphere/world), making unique sounds as they approach and circle them. Once the hunter moves said distance, the circling crows/vultures leave again, making the regular sound of triggering a flock of crows. Another alternative is to spawn 2-3 grunts closeby when X distance was failed to be covered in X minutes, with a chance of a special AI, like a hive or armored.

What if we just change it from need to move to actually a need to action. If you don't take any AI, don't loot stuff or not taking/dealing damage for too long the game will force AI on you making you take that needed action and actually a bit reveal yourself.

Unpopular opinion: I actually love that sbmm doesn't work... I love that i get matched with people way better than me who dunk on me in ways I've never seen before. Makes the harsh and unforgiving setting hunt aims for stand out even more. I dont really want sbmm

I think that, in this kind of game, SBMM is required, expecially for new players or newbs like me. It needs some adjustment, but lobbies where you can encounter a potentially 6 star MMR because SBMM was removed are not fun at all. I think also that the problems behind your points can be easily resolved by making a lobby always made with MMR in mind but without affecting it, so u can play as u want without the risk that u derank. This is my opinion, i don't have the hours you (or the mean hunt player) have in this game, but in my case SBMM is enanching my skills and making me better at the game, while still loading like 10 tons of shit at my face every now and then with headshots from 150km because i remained still for like 0.5 seconds

I briefly touched the ranked mode here, the in-depth part is just elaborating on the ranked points and rank distribution based on other games similar to this one (so actually proven to work) and some adjustment to gameplay mechanics. I have the script ready, I'm just lazy because the editing and recording process is gonna be 10x more time consuming than it took me to write it hah

to make a derank guid is making the problem bigger. even if its not a "real" rankinsystem, its still shit if good players derank to 3 star lobbys to farm easyer money and destroy the game for beginners and not-pro-players

Lower match duration to 25-30 minutes

Just when i downrank from 5 stars to 3 this video comes out ? Just let me have fun and not sweat ffs... btw i recognise good player that is smurfing and there are alot of them on the 3 star MMR

why aren't you going to these events with or for Crytek and Hunt Showdown. I feel like the BIG names like Rachta and others should be talking about this. I think Vombuz wants SBMM reworked but he hasnt put a lot of thought into it like you.

0:50 SBMM and turned off SBMM was literellay the same: you only accepted to queue longer for having a narrowed distance to other mmr values with sbmm. Pls no ranked queue! would make the all tryhards peepee way more harder if there would be a true rank system. Plus nobody plays the game for doing the boss after xthoused hours but for fights and "questing". Imo Crytek should abolish the stars-system and just show the plain values with all gains and losses per round. Then we can talk about points and statistics.

don't agree with 20minutes penalty as I had an intense 30minutes fight 19kills yesterday and bro, how could you penalty me for just this huge match ?

Broke: Gitgud guide. Woke: Gitbad guide.

I dont know why you need a guide for deranking. Im like a natural champion in this just by sucking at the game.

The game has needed a matchmaking rework forever. Regression towards the mean makes an ELO system that doesn't give players finite numbered rankings a complete mess. More content about it means the devs might actually prioritize it instead of letting us all abuse the hell out of the matchmaking so new players have the worst time they possibly can.

I get what you mean, but people go through stars just by playing the game normally. Especially for solos, it's nearly impossible to rank up because you need nearly perfect games to gain MMR, so even if you die twice a game with self res, you'll still go down. Even in teams, you get ressed 3 times in a game and you might drop a star. I've had multiple days where I started the day off as 5 stars, but it was a hunt taketh kind of day and we deranked to 4/3 stars, so obviously when we got lower we just started stomping lobbies. No deranking on purpose needed.

That's true, but also a bit harder than it is on paper. When you reach 5 stars, the game gets very sweaty. Mosins, Dolches, C&K, bush wookie gameplay with 0 noise anywhere on the map leaves you wondering which bush is gonna shoot at you first. Since I made this video I found a way to have fun with the game again (and it took me quitting it entirely for almost 3 months to do that), but a lot of people have to go out of their way and derank back to 3 stars just so they don't have to sweat and enjoy the game. I see complaints about campfest lobbies often, saying that it's not fun. Adding a casual queue where MMR has no significance would improve the game quality for a lot of players IMO.

Unfortunately not a lot of players have the same mentality. I also just push blindly just so I don't have to be waiting for 5 minutes for anyone to do a single step, but the game's community is too tied to their KDA and stars to do that a lot of the times. There are the odd days where games are very aggro, but they are few and far between. It is better during this event tho, thanks to the sealed cache in the middle of the map. A lot of people seem to PvP there now so it's a nudge in the right direction
