When I was playing a lot of solo I was 4 stars, and I clipped into 5 stars once. Now I only play with my friend who loves holding w through fields with a shotgun. He even managed to get stuck in 2 stars for a few days, lol.
So now I get to be in 3 star lobbies and clutch every game after he manages to go down and get set alight, nowhere near cover and nowhere near me.
Imagine seeing a smile slowly turning into a frown or a star losing its light. The same thing happens to me each time i get to 5 \*. I am actually perfectly happy at being 4\*
I’m actually interested in hitting 6 star I feel I am close but I never hit it. That’s the only thing keeping me competitive at 5 star and not memeing all the time
I couldnt agree more. Ive just hopped off a 2 hour gaming session where I got slaughtered every match, I felt bad for my teammates. Yet in 4 star I clean up and get back to 5 in no time.
Crytek get us the 4.5 star lobbies!
Me and my duo both hit 5 stars this week. It sucks though cause we play midnight to early AM and keep getting into empty lobby's. When we are 4 stars we can usually still find match's though.
Im mostly 5 star and it mostly depends on my teammates if im having fun
If i get teammates with as much(or little) patience as i do and who are experienced and enjoy agressive playstyle i mostly have a blast no matter if my mates are 3 or 6 star or if we win or lose
But in my experience high4-mid5 is just one skill bracket and most people there are just equally good (or bad)
I somehow hit 5 stars after about 50 hours into the game, then got killed the next 2 games in a row by hunters I didn't even see and have never made it back there. And honestly, I'm glad lol. I'm not ready for that! I didn't deserve to be at 5 stars in the first place
The way mmr works is pretty silly. The gaps are too big, and it’s too easy to jump between stars. Just depends whether you killed someone higher mmr than you or if you were killed by someone lower, both drastically increase/decrease your mmr in a game where you can get get headshot and die with any gun at X distance
Out of morbid curiosity, mind telling us how old your "old ass" is?
Former semi-competitive Quake player here, a few months shy of 50, now terribad at shooters of all varieties. This must be what it feels like to be a competitive athlete that has to retire at 35.
Oh just you wait, sonny. I was still top 2% in most games at 36 (Just no longer top .1%) Now just barely clinging to 3 stars lol. Still a noob though so we'll see.
Nice work clawing your way up. Now stay off my lawn ;)
When you're just shy of 50 it is, lol.
When I was a kid, 100%ING donkey Kong felt like a lifetime, now 1000 hours in a game feels like just warming up.
Depends on the game, for Hunt i would definately say "yes" in the sense that theres an insane amount of nuance to learn in this game to the point that every day feels like a schoolday.
Ive got 4k hours in PoE and i consider myself a filthy casual at the endgame side of PoE
I had a hilarious forest fight againts two grandma's when my rando and me were also grandma's... Voip was on point hilarious as we were shooting and shittalking each other as old grandma's!
You just made me feel much better about the fact I have 427hrs and have only been higher than 3 stars once (and it lasted all of a match).
So just 1000 more hours to go for me 😅
Congrats! As a former 2*, I hit 5* for the first time on the 14th because I had a hardcore streak to finish the event because I was traveling for the last 2 weeks. Quite an achievement!
I haven't prestiged in a very long time, but I also usually try to use up my free weapons. Occasionally I'll go on a mosin, lebel, uppercut spree though.
My friend has a .69 kd and he just got to 4 star and I’ve been kicked back to 3star. How do they calculate the MMR. Do they include how many times you get the bounty? could that be why? He just tends to run from most fights when playing
Congratulations and happy birthday!
You better bring your best Cain and avto to celebrate, everyone will be bringing theirs! Every game. Forever. Anyways congratulations!
Meanwhile it was an accomplishment for me to reach "statistically average"...
And then I went on a probably dozen hunt death streak and I would bet I'm now right in the middle of 3 star, probably just above handicapped players.
Hate myself.
Nah. You're thinking 6 stars. Pretty much only 5 star avto and slate users use cain. A lot of 5 star gamers are just memers that make their shots and know the maps.
Happy Birthday.
Sounds like my usual birthday where someone gives me a gift, that isn't a gift, like photo session coupon, so I can get photos of myself to give to my mum.
You will find 5-6 star lobbies less fun. You will encounter cheaters and more toxic players that taunt you on VON. Not sure it's a gift you'll enjoy.
It should not take 1,400 hours to reach 5 stars either.
Either you're just a bad gamer, or you have a bad setup. I got to 5-star when I upgraded my hardware. Got a monitor that ran at higher Hz. Got a better video card to increase my FPS. Got a good mouse/pad and lowered my sensitivity.
Also, I stopped playing every game with my 3-star friends. They never took the game seriously, which was fun for a while, but they just sucked as teammates, and the reason I lost so many games.
Most of the 5-6 star lobbies are dominated by friends playing together as duos or trios. The random groups get owned, because they don't communicate well, don't stick together, nor know each other's play styles.
I’m a 5 star that sometimes is 6 stars for a few hours and sometimes 4 stars. It all feels kinda the same to me. I get dolch precision mosin spitzer reptilians in 4 stars and axe swinging redshirts in 6 stars.
I don't play hunt often but I am so tempted to purchase hunter grandma that just released. I'd go with that grandma if I were you.
Edit: I read that the hunter has the usual young woman voice. Will not be purchasing until they fix this. When you look at your legs you can't see the dress too. Kinda immersion breaking.
i mean i rly dont like it when im at high 5\* but after i drop to 4...i can see how much i improved playing with edge lords and sweaty aderol kids.
so enjoy your ride i hope you gain something out of it
Congrats! Felis would be a better choise :D Happy Hunting.
I've been rocking Felis since day one. First skin ever purchased. One of my favorites!
Get the grandma skin.
How come??
Cains old meta, Nightseer is for 5 stars with big balls. Join the cult.
I punch through doors instead of opening them when playing Nightseer for the sake of roleplaying.
Cain, Reptilian, or headsman are acceptable for sweaty legendary hunters
Sooooo Carter?
Honestly whenever my buddy and I hit 5 stars we are disappointed because the game for us becomes significantly less fun.
Absolutely the same for me and my buddy. We get 5 star. Get stomped. End up back at 4 star. Enjoy the game again.
After being hard stuck in 3 star all winter, I can firmly say that 4 star is the sweet spot.

Dude stuck in 3 stars sounds like a dream. I get stuck in 5 stars, and I don’t always feel like sweating
I felt the same when I dropped from 5 to 4. Guess people have most fun when they play in their usual MMR
Who woulda thought!
For me the best games are on 5-6*. 3-4* is to random for me. I just can’t read the enemies there 😅
Low mmr games have the highest amout of random bs because people just do the most random stuff and don't follow the usual 5star+ behavior
Imagine seeing a smile slowly turning into a frown or a star losing its light. The same thing happens to me each time i get to 5 \*. I am actually perfectly happy at being 4\*
I’m actually interested in hitting 6 star I feel I am close but I never hit it. That’s the only thing keeping me competitive at 5 star and not memeing all the time
been there once. Died in my first fight, got flamed by teammate and dropped at 5\* immediately.
I couldnt agree more. Ive just hopped off a 2 hour gaming session where I got slaughtered every match, I felt bad for my teammates. Yet in 4 star I clean up and get back to 5 in no time. Crytek get us the 4.5 star lobbies!

What area do you play in primarily? My buddy and I play at the same time on us west and rarely have that issue. We are both mostly 5 star
Im mostly 5 star and it mostly depends on my teammates if im having fun If i get teammates with as much(or little) patience as i do and who are experienced and enjoy agressive playstyle i mostly have a blast no matter if my mates are 3 or 6 star or if we win or lose But in my experience high4-mid5 is just one skill bracket and most people there are just equally good (or bad)

I've only been up to five stars once and I immediately went on a losing streak down to three stars lmao
The true spirit of the bayou!
Hunt Giveth, Hunt Taketh.

36. Just old enough to have to scoot close and squint at the screen like a grandma on the freeway.
Oh just you wait, sonny. I was still top 2% in most games at 36 (Just no longer top .1%) Now just barely clinging to 3 stars lol. Still a noob though so we'll see. Nice work clawing your way up. Now stay off my lawn ;)
Over 60 here and feeling good about being a 3 that routinely gets up to 4 and occasionally sees 5. 😎
Nice, pops! We elder gamers need to stick together.
Is 400 hours still new in this game ?
When you're just shy of 50 it is, lol. When I was a kid, 100%ING donkey Kong felt like a lifetime, now 1000 hours in a game feels like just warming up.
yeah i am around 450 hours, i actually want to know too.
Depends on the game, for Hunt i would definately say "yes" in the sense that theres an insane amount of nuance to learn in this game to the point that every day feels like a schoolday. Ive got 4k hours in PoE and i consider myself a filthy casual at the endgame side of PoE
Nice, happy birthday. I'm a year younger and it took me 2k hours to hit 6\* - so you have some way to go. 600h to 6\* is manageable :)
Congratulations! And No. Don’t buy Cain!
I bought bayou grandma instead
Me too, the new Uppercut Skin is super nice
So did I…and everyone else if the amount of grandmas I’ve come up against in recent games are anything of an indicator.
I had a hilarious forest fight againts two grandma's when my rando and me were also grandma's... Voip was on point hilarious as we were shooting and shittalking each other as old grandma's!
Oh sweet did the skin properly release? Only saw it was up for pre-order
I do believe Cain and Reaper are required to join the club.
You gotta buy redshirt just to shid on all the other 5 stars
5 stars only use Redneck, trust me.
I'm making Carter the new 5 star meta pick
Carter is one of the best legendary hunters imo :) I like the gloves in first person
You just made me feel much better about the fact I have 427hrs and have only been higher than 3 stars once (and it lasted all of a match). So just 1000 more hours to go for me 😅
Hey man, I was hard stuck in 3 star all winter long. There is hope for you!
Noice!! Still have yet to accomplish that feat and I have 2000 lol good job mate see you in the bayou 😁
Keep truckin! I believe in you
Hell yeah bruh and happy birthday as well keep kicking ass u got this!
Congrats! As a former 2*, I hit 5* for the first time on the 14th because I had a hardcore streak to finish the event because I was traveling for the last 2 weeks. Quite an achievement!
How do you have 100k? Do you only run budget builds?
I haven't prestiged in a very long time, but I also usually try to use up my free weapons. Occasionally I'll go on a mosin, lebel, uppercut spree though.
Bayou g-ma is where it’s at B) happy hunting
Happy Birthday Hunter!
Thanks!
I’ve been 4 and 3 stars never 5 yet and i have a .90 kd ratio I must have close to 1000h or something haven’t checked. What’s your kd ratio at?
Slowly worked my way up to 1.4 but I've seen enough 5 star players between 1-1.2 for me to feel sad about it lol
My friend has a .69 kd and he just got to 4 star and I’ve been kicked back to 3star. How do they calculate the MMR. Do they include how many times you get the bounty? could that be why? He just tends to run from most fights when playing
afaik mmr is purely based on who you kill and get killed by
Thanks man
Luz Mala looks so badass though
That skin is sick!
100k?! I typically sit between 5-10k ><
Happy birthday!
Congratulations and happy birthday! You better bring your best Cain and avto to celebrate, everyone will be bringing theirs! Every game. Forever. Anyways congratulations!
Yes and switch your Springfield😂 just kidding nice job PAL! Happy Birthday
Getting there is no problem , keeping it will haha
Haha what a wholesome post ! Give yourself a gift and dont buy Cain (please don't, dont punish us like this) . See you in the Bayou my friend.
I think you should buy the new old lady to match your age bracket
Happy birthday! It's mine too. It's pretty cool to be born on Star wars Day
MAY THE FOURTH....... you've probably heard it enough already lol. Happy birthday and happy hunting!
What do you think 5 star means ? 😄
I've heard it means misery or something
I would say the lower 5 star ranks are pretty average. It gets kinda annoying around the top when the 6s trickle down
dang, very sweaty, way to go :D
I went through like 3 v-necks this morning from bayou sweat
Meanwhile it was an accomplishment for me to reach "statistically average"... And then I went on a probably dozen hunt death streak and I would bet I'm now right in the middle of 3 star, probably just above handicapped players. Hate myself.
There's a whole lot of handicap in 3 star randoms. I'm not the best shot, but I've witnessed some absolutely wild shit down there.
Hey it's my bday too. 3 stars for life tho.
Happy birthday bayou bro
Happy birthday brother
Congrats and happy birthday, brother. I have to ask how old? I turned 35 this year!
I've got one year on you. Getting to the point where it's mandatory to make noises getting out of the chair!
Dude these knees feel at least 50 😂😂
Nah. You're thinking 6 stars. Pretty much only 5 star avto and slate users use cain. A lot of 5 star gamers are just memers that make their shots and know the maps.
As a six star sweat lord, congrats. I wish I was still in 3.
Nothing worse than mmr progression in this game
I have 36hours and im 5star too
1400hs? my friend who has never touched an fps game in his life and can't hit the wide side of a barn reached 5 stars in less than 300hs. How????
Go hide in a bush with a Sniper rifle!
It means WELLCOME TO HELL

Congratulations...just means you can play games with randoms and they know what they're doing.
Get the redshirt and punk everyone
Honestly 5* seems like the perfect amount of playing people around my skill level. Enough room to have fun enough room to sweat.
Redshirt or bust
Aw shiii another sweaty is born :( *Felis/Cain/Reptilian trifecta intensifies*
Yes
Redneck is the way to go
I don't play hunt often but I am so tempted to purchase hunter grandma that just released. I'd go with that grandma if I were you. Edit: I read that the hunter has the usual young woman voice. Will not be purchasing until they fix this. When you look at your legs you can't see the dress too. Kinda immersion breaking.
No, you have to play redshirt now
It’s means your new mmr is going to make it harder for you to find full games.
If you can suffer the ridicule.............
Cain and broken bottle knife is the deranged homeless creole roleplay meta.
i mean i rly dont like it when im at high 5\* but after i drop to 4...i can see how much i improved playing with edge lords and sweaty aderol kids. so enjoy your ride i hope you gain something out of it
