That's always a fun strategy, it's fun moving around a lot. I've been doing this and a strat with the decoy power where I hide in a tricky spot using natural cover or weird geometry and put decoys around so the hunter's attention is on them instead of looking up at me lol
@∑Siebren I keep forgetting you actually join someone's world and aren't taken to an arena, gonna start looking at people's maps now lol

I've been learning and strategizing alright. Along the way, I realized I'm getting good at seeking and catching others. I got a victory as a Hunter today. Yesterday, I once evaded successfully as a Rebel.
True. The best thing I can say is that if you're a Rebel, distance yourself as far from the Hunter as possible at the start. Stick to the edge of the map so you can sort of dance around them, high places are also a good option if you have a small character (for hiding behinds roofs and odd angles) and can get up them quickly enough to not be spotted.
For Hunters: Start looking from the edges then slowly circle inward, keep your camera zoomed out and watch the edges of the screen as well. Lots of people stick to searching the center of the map and thus Rebels are able to move around a lot more.

I think it'd be just as amusing with Jean! Earlier today, I did see someone play as Ei (Raiden Shogun), and she was the Hunter. The map was an Inazuma one. I can't remember who I was, but Ei caught me lol.
@xX_Kiefernholz_Xx, I do try to stay as far away from Hunters as possible when a Rebel. Once in a while, I outfox them no matter where I end up. I'm working on my strategies depending on which map it is. XD Twice, I managed to catch everyone as a Hunter.
I plan to edit a compilation video that features some of my gameplay time during Windtrace. It'll be an amusing upload for my YT gaming channel.

Hey, let me know if/when you do and I'll watch it! lol
I'll PM you the link once it's online! XD I guess it'll be kinda like one of those .exe things.

I appreciate it <3 And if you ever need someone to help grind bosses, PM me and I'll send you my UID. Not sure how much I'll be on when I start my new job, but I plan on trying to play daily still

xxas another note to rebels, in case you guys didn't know: if you're disguised, you WILL make noise when you move 😭😭 i play with music off because i like the immersion that playing without it offers, and the amount of times i've heard the scraping of wood near me because a rebel decided to move is too many to count. i do think it's an interesting detail on mihoyo's part, but if you're a rebel and playing with a hunter who's able to hear it, it's pretty much sealing your fate.
xxin terms of windtrace in general, i find it pretty lackluster considering that they had almost a year to add new things to it and the only thing they could come up with was new maps. like a lot of other people said, features like chatting after a match would be wonderful. i've had no problems with other event reruns (theater mechanicus, for example, was fun both times it ran for me) but windtrace has SO much potential and i'm a bit disappointed they didn't do more with it. we still can't play with friends, which could be understandable as it could be used to farm coins easily, but could easily be fixed by simply offering a friend mode that prevents players from earning coins. we can't repeat matches with the same lobby, and the maps are so small in my opinion </3 i've also noticed that they put a "height limit" on the maps because i can no longer climb trees all the way to the top without being stopped 😩 i'm sure it's to make the game easier for the hunter, but like i said, there's so much more that could be added!!

aaah the new windtrace is a bit harder compared to the last one <\3 my strat of just outrunning the hunter until they've given up doesn't work anymore. i also keep forgetting to remove my seelie which has probably lost me at least 2 matches and i can't take it off during matches JDJXJEJD.
im kinda sad they removed the maps at wuwang hill, qingce (?) village and dragonspine, but i suppose it was because it was super easy for rebels to hide by just climbing on top of trees/cliffs/any other tall thing.
imo a lot of the newer maps are kinda small? and i really feel like it's trying harder to promote actually using disguises to hide instead of like. climbing a tree and staying there for the rest of the map.
@kaebedo turning off the music honestly is a big-brain idea 👁👄👁 i might try that next time i play and see how effective that out for me. and yeah i noticed that it does make sound because at some point i was playing as hunter and i almost caught someone bc i was super close to them and i heard them move (i didn't catch them tho i was too slow JFSKDK)
