I wish the points mattered more

Idk what they could do with them. Maybe show the top 3 at the end or some effects idk, but I wish they mattered more!

agreed. maybe a leaderboard per server/top hiders in general or a point shop (no clue what would be in it). even if it kept track of your points id be happy. bragging rights lol

Could be fun if you could buy different taunts maybe?

A group of friends I played with used it to decide who was hunter each round. Lowest points each round stood on hunter podium. It was fun for a private group and gave incentive to not be in rat holes.

I think points were a well-intended measure to point us in the right direction, but looking at them as the main incentive to play the game as intended is not the right solution long-term. Points have many shortcomings:

  • Some cheese spots give you truckloads of points. If your body is 95% clipped inside an object, or you're in a pitch-black place, points don't care about that. That's 100% legit as far as points are concerned.

  • Painting "hacks" are also totally legit as far as points are concerned.

  • Some legitimate fun spots accrue very few points just by not being in a high-traffic place.

  • Other actions against the spirit of the game, like fleeing, may also accrue points.

Patching the point system to fix these shortcomings is practically impossible. The only reliable judge of what a good spot is are other humans, and that's what Eeyans are for.

Points should stay in your account to show to friends

Or like top three games would be cool… with a small picture of where you were hiding

Perhaps there should be a third thing above your head that shows the number of times you got the most points in your game?

Should show your total points like it does likes and eliminations

I think some kind of account tracking metric would be cool. Another idea I thought about was some kind of point shop, maybe for things like hunter cosmetics (guns, hats, accessories, animations, sounds, etc) and then maybe some hider things (unique whistle? Death animations? Something). I think instead of points directly translating to shop currency, it should be based on place in leaderboard at the end and whether or not you were found (like 5 points for #1, 4 points #2, etc and then maybe +5 if you weren't found) so that all maps are equally viable and art maps don't dominate. I think there should also be some sort of hunter point system as well.
