🦌︴great-ones

[gilded whale]

ah

[hidden pagoda]

Because GO rarity to the power of 2 is one 20 mil, diamond rarity to the power of 17 is 1.3e19 lol

[gilded whale]

jesus

[tiny kestrel]

One is slightly higher than the other

[gilded whale]

moderately higher

[hidden pagoda]

So uh

One in 1.3 quintillion

1,300,000,000,000,000,000 💀

Versus 20,200,000

[gilded whale]

i could do that top number

[tiny kestrel]

Gonna shoot 2 diamonds and not harvest them and see what happens for my next run

[gilded whale]

herd management in cotw is the opposite of what you'd do irl

[tiny kestrel]

It’s a lot more in line with WOTH herd management

maybe someone should try that actually

[gilded whale]

try what specifically

[tiny kestrel]

Doing herd management like you would IRL

[gilded whale]

kill the bad shit and leave the big boys alone?

[tiny kestrel]

Maybe

[hidden pagoda]

That’s what I do if there’s more than 2 shootable males

Shoot the small ones first

[gilded whale]

okay, i see that in cotw as: stack 20-40 diamonds, then kill the min weights

[hidden pagoda]

Ima play some COTW lol

[tiny kestrel]

Hey Sonic, how ‘bout we engage in a little bit of “friendly” competition

First to get an SR

[gilded whale]

so what you are saying is 'who can spend the most amount of time shooting deer in a video game per day'

[tiny kestrel]

Mhm

Well

Less that and more “who can win the lottery first”

[hidden pagoda]

I’m down

[tiny kestrel]

May the first to get a funky looking diamond deer win

[gilded whale]

what if i win

i wont, what am i saying

[tiny kestrel]

Excuse me, this competition is only for people who’ve lost their sanity to grinding

[hidden pagoda]

💀

[gilded whale]

ah i see

[hidden pagoda]

Imagine I get a ur going for an sr lmao

[tiny kestrel]

You don’t win the battle in that case
you’d win the war entirely

[hidden pagoda]

LOL

[gilded whale]

ultra rare is nothing compared to elk living in a fucking swamp 💀

but yeah wrong game entirely

ok dinner time i better get my dumbass out of this chat

[tiny kestrel]

Ultra rare is nothing compared to a diamond melanistic pteranodon

whoops wrong time period

[hidden pagoda]

Ultra rare is nothing compared to waking up not tired

[tiny kestrel]

Happened to my buddy Eric once

[hidden pagoda]

Eric is one lucky fucker

Back in 03?

[tiny kestrel]

Back in 1984

I think I read a book about it once

[hidden pagoda]

Ruh roh

[tiny kestrel]

How many kills are you at right now?

[hidden pagoda]

Idk

Not counting

[tiny kestrel]

Fair enough

[hidden pagoda]

But I’m down to 1400 rounds so

like 500 more than when I bought ammo last

[tiny kestrel]

I’m tempted to just buy like 10K .300 rounds and I have the money to spare but gotten into the habit of only buying as many rounds as I need for each run

[hidden pagoda]

Well let’s see here

My last GO was at 15551 kills, I’ve had 66 diamonds since then

So I was at 113

I’m at 179 now

Would put me around 24k actually

And to get an even more accurate number I stopped counting kills at 21644 or 161 diamond

It’s only been 18 since

So yeah 24k

Might start counting again lol

[tiny kestrel]

Crazy to think you’ve got almost double the kills I do

When did you first start grinding?

[hidden pagoda]

Uh

May 4th of 2021 I think

[tiny kestrel]

Damn

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah

I reinstalled my counter and added the estimated number back

So

[tiny kestrel]

That puts you at roughly 1300 kills per month up until now

[hidden pagoda]

Yup

With like 6 months of breaks

And another 2 spent on red deer

[tiny kestrel]

Nvm that puts you at 2k per month

[hidden pagoda]

I did 2k in some weeks

Other weeks were super slow

Like only 300

But yeah on average

[tiny kestrel]

I got maybe 5000 kills in August of this year alone lol

[hidden pagoda]

It’s been almost 10k kills since I stopped counting hours lol

I was at 814 then

[tiny kestrel]

I don’t count hours

[hidden pagoda]

Idk why I did lol

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah I had 2 GOs last December

8 days apart

Only 859 kills between them

[tiny kestrel]

Oh wait

I got my 3rd GO on the day the handguns DLC released

That’s pretty neat

[hidden pagoda]

Oh huh

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve got a theory regarding the next GO

[hidden pagoda]

Moobs

[tiny kestrel]

So, EW wants to make the first great ones be able to be found in the beginner maps right? But eventually they’re gonna have to introduce GOs that aren’t in the beginner maps

Currently, Layton has 2 GOs and Hirschfelden has 1 GO. I have a feeling that the next GO will be found on Hirschfelden and that it’ll either be roe deer or more likely fallow deer

Then, after that, they’re gonna introduce a GO on a DLC reserve

[pliant oak]

i think personally you should just do the most popular

forget about beginner maps

so great one the moose next

[tiny kestrel]

They did state they wanted GOs to not be accessible behind a paywall iirc

[hidden pagoda]

And the moose reskin like the BB

[tiny kestrel]

Now, moose are on a beginner map so they’re pretty likely as well

But I have a feeling that Hirsch will be seeing a GO whenever the next one is added

If it’s fallow then Te Awaroa is going to be a hotspot more than ever before, if it’s roe then Cuatro’s gonna be seeing some more action

[summer coral]

Might be wild boar would give medved a GO

[tiny kestrel]

It definitely could be

Tho I’m gonna stick to roe deer or fallow deer as my prediction because they’re the more popular species

Hey I wonder when my next GO is gonna show up

[summer coral]

I'm still looking for my first.

[tame lark]

I’m hoping for moose to be the next great one

[tiny kestrel]

How many kills you at?

[summer coral]

1700 kills in 35 dimes 12 trolls 1 mela 3 pies

[hidden pagoda]

All but one of mine was on the main river on layton lol

[hidden pagoda]

That’s a lot for 1700 kills damn

[summer coral]

Herd management helps

One of the pies was a troll

[tiny kestrel]

F

I’ve been having not so great luck with rares all around

I’ve gotten a few recently but on average I’m getting like one every thousand kills or so

[somber turret]

Mule deerr

[tiny kestrel]

Mule deer would be sick

[hidden pagoda]

Yes

Ong

BT, MD, or Moose have my vote

[somber turret]

And the update to mules on SRP drink would be fun

[summer coral]

I got a mythical mela 700 kills a 7 pie at 800 another 7 pie at 1400 and my troll pie at 1600

[somber turret]

I had 2 pies at 3k kills when I did mine lol

[hidden pagoda]

I have 44 at 24.1k lol

[tiny kestrel]

I have 20 at 13319 kills

[somber turret]

God I need to do a whitetail one

[hidden pagoda]

Dew ittttt

[tiny kestrel]

Plus 6 beenos, 10 melas, 160ish diamonds, 3 GOs and 1 SR

[somber turret]

My problem is I have nothing to look forward to doing it but the go

[hidden pagoda]

8 melas, 10 beenos, 44 pies, 179 Dias, 5 GOs, and 1 SR 24,105 kills

Reds

Uhh

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah that’s what I’m feeling with WT

I want to get a GO but like, the diamonds aren’t as interesting as red deer diamonds, the rares don’t look as good and they’re a pain to grind

[somber turret]

I have all 3 rares and a 270+ huddle

[hidden pagoda]

Heh

I have 8 huddles of the rare fur trio

[somber turret]

I also cannot decide on what map to do it on

Finland looks lovely but I would have to pull up my waterfowl setups to use the tents

[tiny kestrel]

I’d say do it on Layton

[hidden pagoda]

I can help with that

ahem

[tiny kestrel]

Plus BB on Layton w/out Mtn lions

[somber turret]

Ugghh I hate river hunting tho

[hidden pagoda]

The river is goated what

[somber turret]

Yes but I still haven't liked Layton river hunting

How often does zones go dry?

[hidden pagoda]

Never

Unless you fuck something up

[somber turret]

Hmm

I normally don't do that unless I lose count

[tiny kestrel]

I have a feeling that if an SR spawns it’ll be at one of these 5 zones

[somber turret]

Wait reds drink at the lil lake?

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah

It’s one of my best zones

[somber turret]

Interesting I need to check that then I never had any or it was just being dumb

If they ever add or do anything to red deer gos I will grind for a other if it's neat what they do

[tiny kestrel]

They didn’t drink there before

[somber turret]

When I checked was after the redo pretty much everything on the map

[tiny kestrel]

Getting close to halfway to 14k kills

Praying that an SR shows up before 15k

Oh shit a piebald

@hidden pagoda I can finally test out that theory

[hidden pagoda]

Oooh

[tiny kestrel]

If this is what spawns me my super rare I’m gonna freak out

[hidden pagoda]

I really hope it does work like that lol

Well one extra doe spawned into one of my zones and now everything is freaking the fuck out

[somber turret]

Lmao

[gilded whale]

wut theory

[hidden pagoda]

Okay the doe found its spot in place of one of my zones that had more than 2 bucks

[tiny kestrel]

That shooting a rare and not harvesting causes more rares to spawn

[hidden pagoda]

Twas a random thing I noticed on accident

Could be false

But hell

[gilded whale]

if thats the case then its a domino effect

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah, that’s why I’m testing it out

I have shit luck with rares, so if I get consistent rare spawns after doing this then it has to prove that it works

In which case it would be broken

[gilded whale]

literally broken

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah

Also I tried out the smacking the smallest deer in the zone and yeah they consistently get bigger

[gilded whale]

not what i was expecting...

[hidden pagoda]

Oh

Wait max score holy shit

[gilded whale]

i was doing a mission heard a wolf, shot it

[tiny kestrel]

That’s sick, though that probably should go in #🦌︴trophies

[gilded whale]

☠️

[autumn bloom]

i want this bad lol

[hidden pagoda]

After this run I’m gonna go outside and see if I can do some flat ground stuff

[tiny kestrel]

This’ll probably be my last run for the day

I’ve gotten 400 kills today

Not bad

[zinc glacier]

I am doing my red deer grind and I am checking to get zones. First question how many RD zones are on cuatro and 2nd how far is render distance for red deer because i miss some because they must not render in

[tiny kestrel]

Render distance is 425m for all animals except rabbits

[hidden pagoda]

Babbit

[gilded whale]

whats rabbit render then

[tiny kestrel]

Roughly 200-250 meters

[gilded whale]

shame

[tiny kestrel]

So, I shoot a level 9, don’t claim him out of spite and an even bigger one spawns in to replace him

Thanks game

[gilded whale]

what lakes do yall grind

[somber turret]

You mom's

[gilded whale]

reds specifically

[gilded whale]

kingy fishy hi

[somber turret]

Hiii blanky

[hidden pagoda]

Lol

[high heath]

jeez i got a few pings

[somber turret]

@high heath you did?

[hidden pagoda]

@high heath really?

[high heath]

just a few

61 coming from CC servers

quite unnecessary

[hidden pagoda]

LOL

[high heath]

aaanyways

nice to be back

[tiny kestrel]

At one point I had over 2k discord pings lol

[somber turret]

With cotw woth and the angler out it seems like I get 10 pings a day

And scarecrows computer dying with tarkov

[hidden pagoda]

lmao

so many CC’s servers are hella dead too

[high heath]

jesus

[hidden pagoda]

HOW

[full cave]

got my first mela of the grind

it’s so small it’s basically a sr lol

[hidden pagoda]

Oh?

[pliant oak]

time to start todays grind

[trail hornet]

same!!

[pliant oak]

quite a few 7s and mythicals that run

hopefully nice respawn

[tame solar]

I just killed 13 diamonds in 25 minutes

Idk seems kinda noob like

[high heath]

very noob

[half sedge]

How is that even possible

[tame solar]

I stacked a few diamonds

[half sedge]

o

[tame solar]

Just a few

Not many

Got 2 max weights too

Feeling good

[high heath]

I think im gonna start a wt grind on rev first

now comes the painful part of driving to every outpost :D

[hidden pagoda]

Heh

[tiny kestrel]

Have fun dude

Or at least try to, grinding is the opposite of fun

[high heath]

so how should i go at herd managing whitetails

[tiny kestrel]

It’ll be harder with whitetail cuz they only go up to level 3

Don’t shoot anything with a 55-70kg estimate

[high heath]

bet

fat level 2

no score estimate

very fat

[pliant oak]

yeah casual grinding

reds are fun though so helps

[tiny kestrel]

True

More fun than any other GO grind currently

[hidden pagoda]

Aight time to smacc some wt

[hidden pagoda]

And a level 3

Lookin wideish

Dia 181

[somber turret]

lol we hit 181st at the same time

[hidden pagoda]

Hehe

Except youre in total and I’m just whitetail lmao

Today feels like the kinda day to get an SR on 💀

[somber turret]

yeah...

[hidden pagoda]

I’m a 271 total I think

[somber turret]

what is your overall harvest stat in game?

[hidden pagoda]

19k, most of my whitetail and red deer went unclaimed

I’d say like 30k of them are unclaimed

[somber turret]

yeah you got me beat by 5k on that one

[hidden pagoda]

So total kills is like 49k

Lol

[somber turret]

i say im only at 20-22k kills

[hidden pagoda]

Eee

[somber turret]

mela sr sounds good to go with a beeno

[hidden pagoda]

mmmm yes please

Once I get this 6th whitetail I might go grind rme for fun

Well

Should I pick it up orrrr….

[dense jolt]

Yes

It’s a rare

[hidden pagoda]

Nah

It would be my 45th pie lol

I already have like 8 gold pies

[dense jolt]

Ok

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah from here on out unless it’s a gold pie I’m not gonna tax it

[hidden pagoda]

Diamond #182

another no taxer

[hidden pagoda]

Ended up trolling

[tiny kestrel]

Well, time to start up the grind again

[high heath]

layton 🤯

[hidden pagoda]

Still going strong

24,250 now

[high heath]

jeez

[hidden pagoda]

Yuh

[high heath]

realistic

[hidden pagoda]

Lmao

[tiny kestrel]

Can the grind end today? Like, give me a piebald and albino SR and I’ll never touch red deer again until they add a new fur type for the GOs

[hidden pagoda]

RIGHR

[tiny kestrel]

Almost at 1.6 million cash

Ngl I kinda want a pop reset so I can start fresh with my zones

My herds haven’t felt the same since the last reset

[hidden pagoda]

Eep

I want my pre rancho Layton back

Minus the GOs fucking over

[tiny kestrel]

Kinda tempted to purge all my minimum weights

[hidden pagoda]

Do it

[tiny kestrel]

I’m gonna try going a different route during my runs

There’s a few lakes I don’t want big stags at and a few lakes I do want big stags at

My hope is to get the big stags at lakes with less stags, that way I don’t have to worry about shooting like 10-12 max weights at one zone

Okay, so I’ve figured out what zones are high priority and what zones are low priority, red and yellow respectively. Now I just need to figure out a route that flows nicely through all my zones

Praying I can still use one more tent

Alright, time to purge all my level 3s and 4s

[high heath]

gl

hf

[tiny kestrel]

Will try

[tiny kestrel]

Shot about a hundred stags this run alone

Hopefully things go to plan

My plan is to shoot any minimum weights that aren’t in the yellow highlighted zones

[high heath]

one hundred stags jesus

[somber turret]

How many lvl 2s?

[tiny kestrel]

I don’t think I had any on my map at this moment

Only 3s and 4s

[somber turret]

Damn

[tiny kestrel]

what

The

FUCK?

[somber turret]

?

[high heath]

👀

[somber turret]

?

[high heath]

something cool is about to happen

i think

[somber turret]

Other go?

[high heath]

bro shut the fuck up moose

[hidden pagoda]

Uh oh

[high heath]

these things are loud

[tiny kestrel]

There’s maybe about 60 total red deer at this one tiny friggin lake

[hidden pagoda]

LMFAO

[high heath]

wtf

[tiny kestrel]

Was gonna take a picture but I accidentally shoot

[somber turret]

Beautiful

[high heath]

come back sometime later

[somber turret]

Even better

[tiny kestrel]

Gonna take a pic next run

[high heath]

im going around my map for wt zones

its very boring

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah there had to be about a dozen stags and 2-3 dozen hinds

[high heath]

a bit too close

[tiny kestrel]

I wasn’t lying btw

[hidden pagoda]

Jesus

[tiny kestrel]

I counted at the very least 33 red deer in that photo alone

I might have to intentionally delete that zone

[high heath]

THE

FUCK

what

the

FUCK

DO NOT END UP LIKE MY MELA MOOSE

@tiny kestrel @hidden pagoda 🏃‍♂️

[hidden pagoda]

NO FUCKING WAY

WHAT

WHAAAAAAAAAAT

BLANK

HOW

[high heath]

I DONT

FUCKING KNOW

THANK GAME THO

[hidden pagoda]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

[high heath]

1080 hours

hopefully a super rare this time 😭

[hidden pagoda]

he looks a little narrow but I wish you best of luck

[tiny kestrel]

AAAAAAAYYYYY CONGRATS DUDE

[high heath]

HES DEAD

I hope

[hidden pagoda]

I’m nervous dude

[tiny kestrel]

Bro saw me and Sonic competing for an SR and went “fine. I’ll do it myself”

[high heath]

please do not

troll

[hidden pagoda]

That’s 257 or less. I hope it’s on the higher end

[high heath]

please

i dont have estimates so im hoping with all i got lef

t

[tiny kestrel]

Are you not high enough lvl for it?

[high heath]

FUCK THIS GAME BRO

[tiny kestrel]

💀

[hidden pagoda]

OH MY GOD

[tiny kestrel]

Major F

[high heath]

WHJY

[hidden pagoda]

NOOOO

[high heath]

WHY

WHY.

what the fuck do i do now

[tiny kestrel]

I feel your pain brother

[high heath]

ive been trolled 2 times by supers

[tiny kestrel]

You are not alone in this torment

[hidden pagoda]

I told you he was narrow

Idek

[high heath]

😭 \

[tiny kestrel]

Holy Christ if I get another level 9 spawn and it isn’t an albino or piebald I’m gonna kill a human being

[high heath]

im gonna go sulk in a corner

then take out frustration on stupid musk deer

[hidden pagoda]

LMAO

[tiny kestrel]

Tempted to go make WT extinct in name of Blank

[hidden pagoda]

I’m gonna do that

[high heath]

Musk deer are gonna go extinct

do i need the dlc to make the handguns show up??

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah

The DLC weapons don’t show up until you buy the DLC

[high heath]

thats goofy

[tiny kestrel]

If there was ever a moment the SR should spawn at right now would be perfect

[hidden pagoda]

LMFAO

[tiny kestrel]

I’m gonna keep whining about not having an SR because that’s how you trick the game. Eventually it just has enough, goes “shut the fuck up” and hands you an SR to keep you quiet

[somber turret]

Maybe you should have gotten it whenever it was on sale

[high heath]

no money + not interested

[hidden pagoda]

Bro if I found an sr today I’d shit myself

[rigid forge]

plops an albino diamond lynx in the most remote corner of medved

[somber turret]

If I found a super rare and I was actually expecting it to be one I would shit myself

[hidden pagoda]

bad

[tiny kestrel]

just give me a piebald and albino SR so I can finally be done with red deer PLEASE

[somber turret]

Why not mela?

[hidden pagoda]

Already has one

[tiny kestrel]

Cuz I already have one

[hidden pagoda]

Just like how I specifically want mela or piebald lol

[somber turret]

Oh I thought you didn't have one at all

[tiny kestrel]

No I have one

That’s why I want an albino and piebald

To complete the SR trio

Then I move onto WT

[hidden pagoda]

Heh

[tiny kestrel]

Okay you know what I don’t think my new rotation is working all that well

Don’t fix what ain’t broken, gonna go back to my old rotation

[sharp tulip]

Is this actually still the fabled-ones-chat or is it already the chat of the super-rares?

[high heath]

its basically chat of any serious grind you have going on

[hidden pagoda]

That’s what we’ve turned it into yeah lol

[somber turret]

I mean you both are still grinding animals that produce gos

[tiny kestrel]

This is a channel for talking about any species that has great ones

Coincidentally, I’m grinding an animal for an SR that also has a GO

So I’m abiding by the rules

[somber turret]

Pretty much

[rigid forge]

how to commit justice by other legal means?

[high heath]

cashnip you arent included here unless you are grinding

[tiny kestrel]

Can this channel just be renamed to #cotw-people-who-have-lost-their-sanity-chat?

[high heath]

🤕 with this emote as the starter

[hidden pagoda]

#cotw-insane-people-chat

[somber turret]

Well see I was thinking about calling it the grinder

[tiny kestrel]

#cotw-mental-patients-chat

[high heath]

The Meat Grinder

[hidden pagoda]

YES

[high heath]

#cotw-help-us-chat

[tiny kestrel]

I for one am down for this name change

Red deer are both meat and they use grinder. It checks out

[high heath]

musk deer

[sharp tulip]

I'm not judging you, many of us here are in the same boat.

[somber turret]

If you're wanting a name change just put it in the suggestion channel and see how it goes

But I seriously doubt they'll change it

[high heath]

23 second slowmode

Guys. I forgot musk deer drink time.

Isn't it 8-12

[rigid forge]

8-12

[high heath]

thank you cashnip

[plain raptor]

the-cool-kids-club

[high heath]

i will find the best uwu lynxes for you

WHERE IS THE UWU LYNX PICTURE

[somber turret]

You know something sometimes I want to make jokes but I'm kind of scared too cuz I don't want to get in trouble

[tiny kestrel]

Ooh a piebald

[plain raptor]

Send me the joke and I’ll make it

I’ll get in trouble for you

[high heath]

YES

[rigid forge]

@somber turret <------ right here

[plain raptor]

LMAO

[high heath]

UWU LYNX SUPREMACY

[hidden pagoda]

LMFAO

THE FUCKING UWU LYNX

[tiny kestrel]

Are you people alright

[high heath]

CASHNIP CANNOT STOP KINGY FISHY
THE UWU LYNX WILL RULE THIS CHANNEL

[high heath]

Physically, maybe. Mentally, no

[gilded whale]

@rigid forge mod abuse ong

[round kiln]

"Um, excuse me but time-outing blank is mod abuse 🤓 "

[tiny kestrel]

Tbf “I’m mentally okay” and “I grind in COTW” aren’t two things that should belong in a sentence together

[gilded whale]

Lord help us all

[somber turret]

[plain raptor]

I don’t grind irl, I grind in CoTW

[hidden pagoda]

what da kat doin

[somber turret]

Cat daddy it seems

[hidden pagoda]

God that emoji is cursed

[somber turret]

Thank you

[plain raptor]

The things I could say

[somber turret]

The things we all could say but really can't safely

[plain raptor]

That’s why I am going to DM you instead

[somber turret]

Oh boi

[plain raptor]

😌

[tiny kestrel]

Almost at 14k kills

[gilded whale]

oh this one's timeout is up

not my main yet

[tiny kestrel]

So, I shot a level 9 earlier and didn’t pick him up

He decided to respawn as an even bigger level 9

Sick

[gilded whale]

👀

[plain raptor]

You got lucky there

[tiny kestrel]

I’m gonna stack level 9s just for the hell of it

I’ve got 3 on my map already

How long until I get to 20?

[high heath]

ah, timeout up

[tiny kestrel]

Woop 4 now

[high heath]

nice

[full cave]

My freind got a g1 before a dime WTF

[high heath]

i wonder what stacking musk deer diamonds does

[tiny kestrel]

You know how herd management works right

Lotta low level animals on your map entices higher levels to spawn right?

Likely the opposite of that when you’re stacking diamonds

[full cave]

Yes but he just got lucky

[high heath]

yeah i know

[tiny kestrel]

Wtf 5 legendaries

[high heath]

i didnt lose all my knowledge when i took a cotw break

[tiny kestrel]

Already a quarter of the way there

[full cave]

He's had the game for a week and wasnt grinding

He jsut killed some wt and a g1 spawned

[tiny kestrel]

That’s happened to my friend

[full cave]

A small one though. 😂

[tiny kestrel]

Killed less than 100 wt and got a GO

[high heath]

great one is a great one

[full cave]

He killed like maybe over 40

[full cave]

400 rack ugly

[tiny kestrel]

A great one is a great one

Unless you get 3 of the same fucking rack

Then you just wanna take a hammer and smash the next GOs antlers into pieces

[full cave]

I got 2 300 and 2 600 racks and some uneven rack i frogot the score

[high heath]

i want these three in a huddle

[full cave]

600 rack my favortie tbh

[somber turret]

Bottom left

[tiny kestrel]

That top rack is my absolutely favourite

[full cave]

Whats the top rack and the right one?

[full cave]

The ball sack rack

[high heath]

the what

[somber turret]

Yes it's the rack that's based off a real deer and looks the coolest

[tiny kestrel]

Top left and the two bottom right ones are my favourites

[hidden pagoda]

Top ones are all the same rack too lmfao

[somber turret]

Just not as tight as the others

[tiny kestrel]

I like my racks
w i d e

[high heath]

murder

[hidden pagoda]

Hence why I prefer this one

Shows all as is

[full cave]

The drop tines look like ball sacks....

[high heath]

the clean rack is unfortunately the rarest

[tiny kestrel]

Ha ha funny penis balls joke lolg

[hidden pagoda]

Yeahhh that middle bottom rarely shows up

[sharp tulip]

Top and bottom left rack are my favorite on the first Image.

[hidden pagoda]

I have 4 big racks lmfao

I never want to see one again

[high heath]

L imagine

[full cave]

Its just what it looks like and the only name I've ever heard it be called 😭

[high heath]

droptine rack?

[tiny kestrel]

Drop tines rack

[high heath]

and also, who the hell is calling it the ball sack rack

[tiny kestrel]

What’s gonna happen first? Me getting to 2.5 million cash or an SR spawning let’s find out

[rigid forge]

you hitting 10m cash

[hidden pagoda]

LMAO

[high heath]

hey bud

[tiny kestrel]

Okay if I’m making a 10k profit each run then it’ll take me almost 840 runs to get to 10 million cash, equivalent to 419-ish irl hours of grounding

Honestly it’s still more likely I do this first over getting an SR

[full cave]

I have 5 mil

[rigid forge]

alright correction:

you hitting 10 billion cash
yes, that's "billion" with a "B"

[tiny kestrel]

My balls start with a “B”

I hate that Cash is right tho

game this would be a really good time to prove Cash wrong

please give me that albino diamond

[rigid forge]

trolls by .01

[tiny kestrel]

You truly don’t understand how angry I’d be

[rigid forge]

trolls by .001

[tiny kestrel]

Tell you what, if it trolls by that amount I will find your address, bust down your front door and sledgehammer your PC to bits

[rigid forge]

trolls by 1E-10000

[full cave]

Unproper English you cant sledgehammer anything you can hit it with a sledge hammer

[full cave]

Hidden decimal troll

[tiny kestrel]

That’s awesome what if I told you I am in your walls

[full cave]

I live in a mud hut

[tiny kestrel]

Irrelevant

[full cave]

No it's not

[high heath]

.22 ftw

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah! Fuck that musk deer in particular

[full cave]

Where do musk deer drink?

I wanan start a grind for a super rare musk deer

[tiny kestrel]

Central ravine is a great place to start

[high heath]

no, you dont want to.

[tiny kestrel]

Bottom right of the map is pretty good too

[full cave]

I do want to

[high heath]

8-12

[full cave]

I got a sr troll i need to redeem myself

[high heath]

sr troll musk deer or sr troll in general

[tiny kestrel]

How do people manage to get consistent rare spawns I’m getting one ever thousand kills or so wtf

[full cave]

Sr bison troll

Albino plains bison by like .40

[high heath]

yeah well guess what I just fucking got

[full cave]

LOL

[high heath]

AND THIS GUY

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve seen and shot two level 5 rare moose

neither made diamond

[high heath]

well the moose was a fair bit ago

[full cave]

I saw someone get a 300 rack mela moose

[high heath]

jesus

thats something id quit the game for

[full cave]

But he was trading it so

[high heath]

oh nevermind

[plain raptor]

The new harvest screens make the colors look so saturated

[tiny kestrel]

The models are no longer slightly transparent either

[full cave]

Ya sad cause its a great throphy and now many othera got it

[high heath]

wow i put on one reshade setting and it crashed my game 💀

[tiny kestrel]

13800 kills

[high heath]

wow

[full cave]

Why is the 223 ar so bad

[tiny kestrel]

.223 is just bad in general

[high heath]

.223 Is a very underpowered caliber in cotw

[full cave]

Its so ass

[hidden pagoda]

223 stanky

[tiny kestrel]

You know what else is stanky?

[high heath]

me

[tiny kestrel]

The fact that I’m reaching 14 thousand kills and I still don’t have an albino SR

[high heath]

oh

[hidden pagoda]

the fact that I’m 24,500 kills and still only have the one

I have about 50k kills total too

[plain copper]

What’s cotw like I haven’t played it in a while

[hidden pagoda]

Weird

[somber turret]

Hell it took LC what 23k to get his first?

[high heath]

its a hunting game released in 2017

[hidden pagoda]

Took me 1600 to get my first

[plain copper]

No way

[hidden pagoda]

Haven’t seen one since lol

[plain copper]

I never would of thought

What are the pistols like

I heard the 10mm is pretty OP

[tiny kestrel]

It’s really not

[somber turret]

Oh god no

[high heath]

you heard wrong

[full cave]

I got 4 dimes today

[tiny kestrel]

The .243 handgun on the other hand is fucking amazing

[plain copper]

I wouldn’t know cuz I haven’t played cotw in months

[full cave]

No

[somber turret]

It's like saying the 270 is op on moose

[full cave]

The 270 goated

[somber turret]

I got 1

[tiny kestrel]

Sure yes but not on moose

[plain copper]

I got none cuz I stopped

[somber turret]

[plain copper]

After the bear grind died down I stopped

[tiny kestrel]

Oh yeah bears have been fucked over on SRP

[plain copper]

The only way I’d come back is for a new map

Even then

I doubt I’d come back for that

[full cave]

I got a 512 rocky dime bison level 4 dime moose and a Spanish ibex

[plain copper]

Ima be honest woth is my favorite hunting game

Cotw became

Repetitive

Very

Very repetitive

[tiny kestrel]

That’s a very true statement

[full cave]

Whats rhe biggest rocky y'all saw?

[tiny kestrel]

Biggest I’ve got is a 513, biggest I’ve seen is 516

[full cave]

The biggest I have is a 515

[plain copper]

Ngl the bear GO was cool

But then it just

Wasn’t

Yknow

[high heath]

520

i didnt kill it

but i saw it posted

[neon cedar]

i've seen 519

but i know 520 is the max

[high heath]

wait sorry 521

[full cave]

Damn

[plain copper]

Geez

[high heath]

max score i think

[neon cedar]

that's definitely max score

[full cave]

I thought my 515 was big

[plain copper]

Maybe if they came out with a Rocky GO I MIGHT come back

[neon cedar]

they won't

[plain copper]

But expansive seems to be focused on more dlcs than maps

[high heath]

ive come back to cotw temporarily because ive ate up all of woth's content

[plain copper]

Same lul

[tiny kestrel]

My prediction for the next GO is either Fallow or Roe deer due to multiple factors

[plain copper]

What do y’all think the next map will be

[full cave]

Layton europe Layton Europe

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah

That’s the main reason

[neon cedar]

moose or roosevelt gotta be it

[tiny kestrel]

I doubt it’s roosevelt elk

[plain copper]

Or what KIND of map do y’all think it’ll be

[tiny kestrel]

If anything it would be RME

[neon cedar]

RME is a dlc animal

[tiny kestrel]

I’m expecting an Africa 2.0 map, it’s what everybody wants rn

[tiny kestrel]

Yes but it’s insanely popular rn

[neon cedar]

they haven't stepped outside the non-dlc animals

[plain copper]

That’s what I’m thinking

Maybe a big game only map

6-9 or 6-10 if they add a new animal

That being elephants or something

[full cave]

Probaly fallow next roe aint as popular

[plain copper]

A roe GO would be sick

I saw someone post a roe GO they made

And it had a bunch of spikes

[tiny kestrel]

I highly doubt elephants will ever be added

[plain copper]

It looked sick

[full cave]

A big spike would not be sick

[plain copper]

Yeh

I know ultimate is having African bush elephant

[full cave]

Hopefully hippos becuase they endagrended im pretty sure

[tiny kestrel]

That’s why Ultimate Hunting is gonna smoke both COTW and WOTH

[plain copper]

Mmm I don’t know about that one

I think ultimate is gonna have direct competition with woth

Not cotw

[high heath]

for all i know woth could have elephants and/or rhinos

[tiny kestrel]

True actually

[plain copper]

And I think woth and ultimate will be sort of equal with each other

[high heath]

so, great ones

[tiny kestrel]

COTW is a far more arcade-y, easy to get into game

WOTH and UH are both about immersion and such

[plain copper]

Exactly

Cotw is NOT a simulater

More of a

Pick up and hunt animal game

Woth is slow paced and you actually have to work

[high heath]

2 million messages

[tiny kestrel]

hHhey lol

[plain copper]

I’ll definitely play ultimate

[neon cedar]

seeing woth made me realize how great a more graphically updated classic would've been better

[plain copper]

There’s no doubt

[plain copper]

Definitely

[tiny kestrel]

I just wanna see a theHunter Primal remaster/remake

[plain copper]

FRRRRR

I WANT THATRR

They kinda just let that game die

I got a question

I’ve never played classic or primal

[tiny kestrel]

Shame because we have no truly good, large scale dinosaur hunting games on the market rn

[plain copper]

How do those trophy system work

[tiny kestrel]

I have no clue I’ve never played them either

[plain copper]

Idk I just don’t think I’d enjoy classic

[tiny kestrel]

I think it’s just trophy score without the medals and such

[plain copper]

Idk I wouldn’t know

I played tf out of cotw

That’s probably why I don’t play it anymore

[tiny kestrel]

I have easily over 1500 hours on this game, it’s like the only one I ever play

[high heath]

i miss LC

he got burnt out of cotw

[tiny kestrel]

I guess grinding is just a way for me to turn my brain off

[plain copper]

I played for 2 years straight

Then I picked it up in 2020 or 21

Played tf out of it again

Then I stopped shortly after the bear hype died down

[tiny kestrel]

I don’t blame him, this game is very repetitive

[plain copper]

They are more focused on dlcs and money than actual maps ngl

Revontuli was AMAZING for the game

But then

They just

Left

And now they added more pistols

Idk if anyone asked for that

[tiny kestrel]

I did

[high heath]

like make an australia map thats twice as big, has outback and rainforests and keep that updated and fixed

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve wanted a break action handgun since forever

[plain copper]

I never heard anyone ask for more pistols but that’s mainly because I didn’t play the game for a while

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah

Understandable

[plain copper]

But I wish they’d be more focused on maps and working on them

I mean like

Really good maps

Like revontuli

Revontuli is a perfect example of a good map

[tiny kestrel]

Im not so much upset that they keep pumping out new maps, it’s just that the older ones get completely forgotten about

[full cave]

Cautro

[plain copper]

TE

Is amazing

[tiny kestrel]

Sure we get a pop reset every now and then but I want new content added to them

New species, new guns for you to unlock perhaps, etc

[plain copper]

I heard they were doing a pop reset for Srp

And I was

Not happy

That’s also why I stopped playing

I was not happy AT ALL

[tiny kestrel]

RME got way better, Black Bear suck now

[plain copper]

RME?

[tiny kestrel]

Rocky Mountain elk

[high heath]

rocky elk

[plain copper]

Oh

I’ve always liked Rocky elk

[tiny kestrel]

SRP is better than it ever was, animals have good drink times now. Only downside is it’s useless for black bear now because mtn lion drink at the same time as them, scaring them all away

[plain copper]

That’s also why I stopped playing

A mountain lion should not be able to scare a bear

I refuse to believe that happens

It should be the other way around

Also

Why is there so much sway on cotw

[high heath]

yep

[tiny kestrel]

Wait what

[plain copper]

I need to know

[tiny kestrel]

Okay you know what? My lack of getting an SR is pissing me off

This is my last run for today

[plain copper]

Lol

[full cave]

Dude since the reset I aint found anything good

[hidden pagoda]

Ok yknow what I’m taking my next GO with

.308 BUT reflex sight and 200m+

[somber turret]

10mm reflex sight 150m+

[hidden pagoda]

I don’t have the new guns lol

I just spent $4100 on a new bike does it look like I have any money right now 💀

Ah motivation to grind

[tiny kestrel]

What the fuck is wrong with you

What grinding does to a mf

[hidden pagoda]

Idk you tell me

[somber turret]

Just go down behind the local Dollar store McDonald's 20 bucks is 20 bucks

[hidden pagoda]

AYO?

[tiny kestrel]

People who are into bikes are actually mental

[somber turret]

Ok first off let's point out that hair

[tiny kestrel]

My friend spent about $9000 on a bike

[hidden pagoda]

Hehe

[somber turret]

Like damn very nice mane

[hidden pagoda]

I want to 360 that drop next year

Yes do a spin off it

I have some big goals to get by next year lol

There’s this drop literally called “the redbull drop”

[tiny kestrel]

Decided to check out respawns before I hop off

Diamond n°6 decided to appear

Won’t take long until I’ve got 20 stacked on my map

[hidden pagoda]

Noice

[tiny kestrel]

Make that 7

[somber turret]

I wonder if you reach a point to where they almost will never spawn

Because of balance

[tiny kestrel]

Like, having so many stacked on my map that no level 9 could spawn until I purge them all?

[somber turret]

Yes

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve got nothing better to do while I grind for my SR so let’s find out

[somber turret]

If the Sr Spawns you shouldn't kill it and continue

[tiny kestrel]

See, that would be insanely hard because the monkey instinct to take it down as soon as possible will be hard to overcome

[high heath]

stack sr

[tiny kestrel]

yeah sure lemme just quickly do 2 runs and get like nineteen of them to spawn

Number 8 just spawned

[hidden pagoda]

LMAO

[tiny kestrel]

What are the odds I hop into a random server and find an albino 10 fabled whitetail

[high heath]

0

cause they cant spawn

[tiny kestrel]

LC has proved otherwise

[plain copper]

Pretty much zero as venom would say

[high heath]

hes different

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah I’m also different

And by different I mean spastic and insane

[high heath]

lol

[hidden pagoda]

Same ol one in 10 million or so

[tiny kestrel]

Well now I have host over a level 7 session

Time to check absolutely every corner of this map

[hidden pagoda]

lol

Have fun

[tiny kestrel]

I will

Hopefully I can find a diamond willow ptarmigan or raccoon dog or smn

[hidden pagoda]

Ooh yeah

[tiny kestrel]

YEA

I GOT A CAPERCAILLIE TO GO AGGRESSIVE

My mood has been significantly improved

[hidden pagoda]

W

[high heath]

reds drink 8-12?

6-10

[tiny kestrel]

6-10

[high heath]

ooh

nice

max weight too

[hidden pagoda]

Maybe the reflex is a little….

to easy.

Ooh

And that’s a new PB

#183.

[half sedge]

oh big

[wicked rose]

What if the game added boats so we don't have to wait for floating animals

[high heath]

funny thing, theres already boats in the game

[fair wind]

Yikes

[glossy cove]

I have now hit 40 trolls

[trail hornet]

gg? i guess?

[wary mason]

What app?

[glossy cove]

Its called basicnote. I just downloaded the first note app tbh xD

[sharp tulip]

I got up to 31 potential diamonds, 29 of them made it. There were only lvl 9s, 4s, 3s and 2s left.

[wary mason]

Lmao

I decided to get back into my red deer grind and I really hope I can get my go this time

And if I'm lucky another sr

[high heath]

@sweet sierra

[pliant oak]

right back to red deer grinding

[sweet sierra]

Dang

[pliant oak]

oooft close

[high heath]

you get an almost sr piebald 2
i get a troll super rare

we are not the same

[sweet sierra]

True

[pliant oak]

we are the same

[full cave]

Do red deer spawn on the coast on te?

[pliant oak]

still looking for the dream trophy

[high heath]

coast i dont think so

[full cave]

Thank god

I got all my zones I got 100 kills in like 40 mins 💀

[high heath]

i want either a big rare or a diamond feral goat

just as payback for all the trolls ive gotten

[full cave]

Feral goats are so lame though

Plus they troll a lot

[pliant oak]

they not quite as troll as gemsbok but they do troll a bit

weird seeing goats everywhere now while red deer hunting on te

[full cave]

Do u have to pick up aniamls for better spawns

Ive heard this but never done it

[sweet sierra]

No you dont

[full cave]

Thank god i someone told me you did but im too lazy too

[tardy monolith]

gold is rare skin?

[hoary oasis]

animal?

[tiny kestrel]

Gold on gemsbok is rare
Gold on brown bear is uncommon
Wrong channel to ask this question

[tame lark]

Don’t forget gold on wildebeest is common

[autumn bloom]

and gold on fish is a food

[tame solar]

Idk maybe you should just get better 🤷‍♂️

[high heath]

i should

te awaroa is insane

its like 13x7km in land mass

correction: waay too big

14x14 or something absurd

[zinc glacier]

How many red deer zones am I looking for on cuatro and do they drink at every lake or are there some they don’t drink at

My first red deer zone of the grind had a 8 red deer 237 to 265 I am going to shoot it for my first deer of the grind I hope it makes diamond

[full cave]

I dont think 8 reds can make it

[somber turret]

[tiny kestrel]

Only level 8 animals that can make it are water buffalo and gray fox

[rigid forge]

*that are known to make it

[full cave]

Herd magment does spawn better stuff

I was 170 kills in b4 i did it 30 kills later got the 1st dime of my grind

[hidden pagoda]

ehhh

That’s too late to tell

Diamonds usually show up 100-200 kills after eachother or after starting

[full cave]

What about rares

I'm yet to get one

[rigid forge]

herd management doesnt seem to do anything to the spawn rates of rares afaik

[full cave]

Dang

Its 6 and above you only shoot right i kinda forgot 💀

[hidden pagoda]

uhh I think

[full cave]

Thanks

[glossy cove]

I shoot 5 and above personally and got about 80 90 level 4's on my map

[hidden pagoda]

Ah

[tiny kestrel]

Assuming that there’s 150 stags on my map at any given time, and I’ve got roughly 30-45 shooters each run, I have upwards of 100 minimum weight stags on my map

[solid dune]

what do you guys think is the best black bear great one colour?

[hidden pagoda]

Personally the spotted glacier one

[tiny kestrel]

Chestnut

Okay so

My friend comes back

After like 4 months of being offline

AND FINDS A BIG RACK PIEBALD LEVEL 9 STAG LESS THAN A HUNDRED KILLS INTO HIS GRIND

im officially done with this game

[autumn bloom]

lol

[tiny kestrel]

That’s it, I’m selling my entire lodge

[autumn bloom]

ill take it! XD

[hidden pagoda]

BRUH

[full cave]

Lol

[hidden pagoda]

logging off rn

[tiny kestrel]

I’m so unbelievably upset

This is the same friend who got 2 initial spawn GOs and a third GO from like 150ish kills

[autumn bloom]

rip

[tiny kestrel]

Todays the day I get my albino SR just you wait

I’m gonna experiment and not shoot the level 5s, see if that changes my respawns

[high heath]

what the fuckity fuck in the name of all fucks given is that luck

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah. He’s the luckiest individual I know

[high heath]

Initial spawn great ones are a thing of the past

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah :(

[high heath]

literally do not exist anymore

[somber turret]

Sounds like my friend with 2 initial spawn go whitetails and 2 red go's in less than 2k kills

[high heath]

bruh

[autumn bloom]

my bro got a initial spawn diamond with a GO the next lake over XD

and both my bros also have albino elk

[somber turret]

What you mean? Is there not still a chance?

[autumn bloom]

rme elk cows but still

[high heath]

1. i havent seen anyone saying anything about initial spawn GOs for the past month or two

[somber turret]

[tiny kestrel]

There is but it feels like it’s gotten even rarer than it already was before

So much so that seeing is equivalent to getting an ultra rare

[somber turret]

So I shouldn't have any hope of one

[high heath]

yes

[somber turret]

[high heath]

do not hope

[tiny kestrel]

Hope is what got me my 3 great ones

And it’s what’s gonna get me my albino and piebald SRs

[somber turret]

I really want one of these other gos just I don't really want to put all that time again into it

I really wish whitetail would get a antler rework

[tiny kestrel]

I want black tail to get a rework

Have you seen the difference between legacy rack and truracs?

[somber turret]

At least blacktail got some interesting racks and a lot of different ones

[somber turret]

Yeah legacy is wayyyy to big it's so funny looking

[tiny kestrel]

They looked far better though

[high heath]

@tiny kestrel gonna guess dude in trophy gallery is your friend

[tiny kestrel]

Yup

[somber turret]

Could it be anymore at the top of the est????? Jesus Christ

[tiny kestrel]

It’s the biggest SR I’ve seen to date

[ionic frigate]

he was a big fella, over max estimate and i’m very pleased with him

[rigid forge]

well a 268 max est doesnt mean the top of the estimate is 268.00
it actually means the top of the estimate is somewhere between 268.00 and 268.99

[somber turret]

Just get a 268.99999998

[ionic frigate]

oh ok still really cool though

[somber turret]

Very

[rigid forge]

that's probably the biggest SR red deer ive seen to date

nice kill 👍

[ionic frigate]

thank you sir!

[rigid forge]

i can already hear oligator fuming in the corner 🙃

[tiny kestrel]

We’re slowly working towards witnessing a 270+ SR
