Hello good hunters, it’s status update time.
Yesterday we discovered an issue with hunting stats. Currently there is a delay with registering them after a hunt is closed. Our backend guys are working on fixing it.
On the more positive side of things, we released a new weapon. The sleek and powerful .45-70 Buffalo Rifle – perfect for big game. There’s a sweet Redfeather Falls competition running right now too, for you to try it out. You can join it here.
For this week’s free species rotation we’ll be exchanging Alpine Ibex and Wild Boar for Canada Goose and Blacktail Deer. There will be a slight delay so that the change will take place tomorrow on Friday. As previously announced, the free species rotation will change every Thursday. Please check back tomorrow. Once the free species rotation kicks in, we’ll notify you via our banner image and also on our social media channels.
The Sneakathon event, which finished yesterday, has been a blast. Congratulations to the winners! If you didn’t have much luck this time around, stay with us. We’re soon starting a May event with quite a different format. More on this very soon.
The team has been busy working on a new, pretty big feature. It’s currently in the testing phase and we are hoping to be able to tell you more about it next week. We’ve actually dropped some hints in the previous status update, see if you can find them 😉
And finally, onto the survey results. This year saw an absolutely amazing participation from you. We had an all time high with 11 090 respondents. Thank you all, for sharing with us your thoughts and opinions. Due to the large number of participants we’ve decided to hold a random draw for 5 participants, instead of 3 participants, as originally proposed. Here are the winners: nicomorco, Kache, Babibouchette, TheFinnishMoose, DexterPL. Congratulations guys, go check your em$ wallets.
Player survey results
We’d like to share some of the survey results with you. Although we can’t make all the survey data public, we can assure you that every single response will be evaluated and all serious answers will be taken into consideration when we plan our future roadmap of content and features.
- 64.56% of the respondents play the game a couple of times per week and more often.
- For almost 57% of people, the main focus when playing the game is to enjoy the experience, followed by “Improve my HunterScore and stats” (38.5%).
- Single player seems to be slightly more common than multiplayer at 69.08% compared with 58.41%.
- 76.58% of players experience bugs in-game occasionally, seldom or never, whereas about 23.42% often or almost every session. Our efficiency at dealing with bugs was evaluated with 6.73 as the weighted average, on a scale from 1 to 10.
- Almost 90% of all respondents are satisfied, very satisfied or extremely satisfied with our communication; we’ll do our best to make this number even higher by implementing some of the ideas suggested in the survey. The same number for our customer support is almost 80%.
- More pleasant numbers. 90.72% players who have made a purchase in the game would consider buying something again and about 88.52% think that the value for the money was either good or alright.
- The share of hunters vs. non-hunters in real life stays consistent with about 56.06% belonging to the first group.
- Players who are hunters in real life have evaluated the level of realism of theHunter as high as 6.84 on average on a scale from 1 to 10:
And lastly, 94.34% would recommend theHuntet to a friend – thank you, we appreciate it incredibly much <3
Meet Sacha
Finally, today we’re welcoming yet another new member in the team! Meet Sacha, our new User Acquisition manager.
Hey hey!
I’m Sacha Karsenty and I joined theHunter team this week as User Acquisition Manager. Part of my work here will be to get more people to start playing theHunter and seeing how active and passionate the community is I can’t wait to get going!
As a short intro into my life, I’m 25 years old, I’m French but I lived 8 years in the Netherlands and 5 in Sweden. Stockholm is really a great place to live even though it gets really dark in the winters. You have great people and a great quality of life, so if you have the opportunity to move here, my two cents are GO FOR IT.
For as long as I can remember I have been a fan of games, but if I have to pinpoint to one memory it has to be playing the NES with my two older brothers. After that, many titles have shaped the way I like to play games such as the Zelda, Mario and Shenmue series. Besides gaming I love sports (mostly football), food, movies, TV shows. So yeah a perfect week for me is one where I get to play football, watch TV, play games and eat great food.
I’m really super excited to start and I’ll be keeping an eye out on what you are saying.
That’s it from us for today, happy hunting!
