Hot Shot: Reservoir Chickens

[Nero]

Bump, plus I could see how this could deserve a slight nerf. I have had no trouble completing any of the other challenges except this one. What I believe, personally, is that when this challenge was first brought up the developer had 2 running around, one placing and one picking up the chickens. When the Alpha players just started "following the placer" around and "killing the thief" to get the -3 but still rack up the kills it was adjusted and a 3rd placer added.

I'd say take away 1 of the ranchers to aide the majority of the player base that are using consoles. I will continue to try no matter what, as soon as it's the last one I need to do for Madera, however I do not expect my skill level should fall so terribly short in this one challenge that I cannot even place bronze yet I place Gold (with honors a few times) in other challenges.

Im in favor of a lot of the challenges being nerfed on the console. For a while I had the top 3 in the playstation beta for a few of the challenges but on the console this kind of challenge is obscene without the pinpoint accuracy of a mouse.

One thing that would help is an adjustment of the autolock feature console shooters have. The aim slows down the closer you are to a target allowing for more accurate shooting but the chickens don't register as a target for the purposes of this.

The driving challenges could use a bit more breathing room for silver. (The gold is needed for non area pursuits so it can be much tighter as a final achievement kind of thing.)

So how does the bug happen where you keep your weapon? This challenge is ridiculously hard and very irritating that you need silver (when bronze is plenty hard enough, and I don't suck at FPS games - or 3PS) to finish the zone.

Edit: Guess all I had to do was cry. Got gold the next time I tried, 1530 points.

Id be happy to tell you over a different medium but at the rate they are patching stuff I won't post it here. Its simple to do and probably a simple fix.

I can see it being easy for some people and I could probably get past bronze with enough practice. It just seems like an inordinate amount of work for what you get out of it. For people who lack the inherent skill to shoot defenseless animals, even more so.

If it was something off to the side that you could do for fun, that would make more sense. But for some people who want area completion gear and I know a majority are, I'm sure it frustrates the living hell out of them.

you bet your sweet *** it is tried for an hour and could only get bronze. Wish there was an easier way cause i sure would like to complete Madera and its the only thing in the way

Just to clear this up, all of you complaining about difficulty are playing on PC with mouse and keyboard right?

I am honestly struggling to believe people are having so many issues with an extremely simple point and click challenge...

I was able to cause it to glitch twice, I tried it once and it kinda happened on accident then repeated it and found what causes it. If you need to know feel free to send me a private message.

You seem to have many posts gloating your own abilities over others and putting down others, I'd point out some obvious flaws but I honestly would rather you not get butthurt and troll me relentlessly. Regardless, if you actually took time to read and take in the other members posts many of them are finding this post string while searching for it, but are playing on XBOX and PS3 (aka: console) versions in which it's not simply point and click.

Also, to help mitigate the incoming flaming response, yes I am aware this is under the "PC" Board, however when this issue persists over all mediums it is not A: surprising or B: unheard of for cross platform posts to be created so trolling about it would be moot.

This challenge is not THAT hard...

After the first mass chicken spawn, simply follow ONE RANCHER, and constantly look ahead of him... Chickens will spawn ahead of him and you can shoot it very easily. Do NOT worry about the minimap after the first mass chicken spawn, simply follow one rancher around shooting the chickens that spawn directly in front of him...

I can get gold damn near every time by using this strategy

"You're a total joke." Well I stand corrected about you talking out of your ***.

I believe the words you are looking for are "I apologize O' Great Chicken King Coord." WAY to eat that tasty crow like a man...

Also, Kudos to Coord for handling that situation with intelligence, and the ability to prove a point without turning into a troll(which he so could have,) THAT IS REFRESHING, and gives me hope for the community of this game.

I apologize for nothing. Running around stating how "easy" everything is and implying you're bad if it isn't easy for you is about as helpful as a kick when you're down. Even has he notes, however, it clearly isn't an uncommon issue.
