🦌︴great-ones

[hidden pagoda]

Granted I already have a setup for lynx so I can cover the whole map in 4 or so time resets

[plain raptor]

I took down all of my tents and tripods on all maps to start anew

[hidden pagoda]

Ahhh

Once I’m done scouring for caribou ima start optimizing Yukon for moose locations to make searching easier

I might go to bed at like 6pm and get up super early so I have a few hours to grind in the morning

[acoustic cedar]

From what I’ve seen they’re not at all

[hidden pagoda]

Alright thanks

[acoustic cedar]

I saw precisely 1 pack during my entire map check

[hidden pagoda]

Moose home ranges changed at all?

[acoustic cedar]

Seem the same to me, pretty spread across the map

[plain raptor]

It’s almost 7 PM for me. The hotspot on my phone is faster than my internet so I think I will leave my phone at home while at work so when I come home it should be downloaded

It also means I won’t have you guys to talk to

[hidden pagoda]

ah

I have a new hoodie coming today so that’s nice

completely random

[plain raptor]

Hoodies are warm

Gonna set my alarm for 4 AM in case they want to release it early

[hidden pagoda]

Ah

It’s usually 2-3am pst

Not me yoinking every pro xck moose map

[quiet gorge]

Does he have a server with all the maps?

[hasty token]

Yes.

[quiet gorge]

Can someone send it to me please

[ashen depot]

Do anybody think that Yukon valley will be good for moose. ?

[hidden pagoda]

Prolly

Except for that

They drink everywhere lmao

[ashen depot]

So you think it will be good ?

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah there’s a lot of good spots and moose drink in mostly clear areas

Medved will be good too

[ashen depot]

Thank you 😊

[tiny kestrel]

Y’all excited for the update tomorrow? I know I sure am

[fast ridge]

yes

[hidden pagoda]

I’m literally about to go to sleep early dude

[fast ridge]

ngl it's probably going to end up being a big fox map for me

[hidden pagoda]

Ima finish checking caribou and then I’ll do moose

The I’m hitting the bricks

[fast ridge]

I'm gonna shoot to be in bed at least before 2 tonight, that's for sure

[acoustic cedar]

Can it be time already plz

[hidden pagoda]

I’m talking like

[acoustic cedar]

I’m ready

[hidden pagoda]

Getting up at 3am

[acoustic cedar]

I need to work out when the update should drop for me

I think it’s like 10am onwards

I’m ready

Just walked around medved looking at moose 😂

[ashen depot]

I’m going hunting tomorrow and I be gone for 3 days

[acoustic cedar]

That sounds fun!!

[ashen depot]

Hey Mel do think that Yukon valley well be good to moose hunt on.

[acoustic cedar]

Yukon could be but the river might be annoying

Other than the river it should be good

[ashen depot]

Yeah I have good zone on the lakes.

My Medved, is not that very good tho.

[quiet moth]

If I did a red deer herd management what one do I shot and what one dont I shot ?

[hidden pagoda]

leave 4 and below, shoot 5 and up

[quiet moth]

Ok thanks

[tiny kestrel]

You asked in 3 different channels 💀

Not gonna grind today. Just gonna attempt to find a diamond reindeer

[fast ridge]

good luck

[tiny kestrel]

I’ll need it

Reindeer, more than any other species, fucking despise me

[fast ridge]

oh I've got a guaranteed-troll caribou sitting on my Yukon

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve had 6-7 guaranteed troll reindeer

Then another one that scored less than .1 away from diamond

They despise me

[orchid granite]

pain

[hidden pagoda]

Hehe

[fast ridge]

yeah I didn't even bother trying to find that guy since he went out of render when the render bug was still a thing

[hidden pagoda]

I do not miss that bug at all

[tiny kestrel]

What’s reindeer drink time again

I keep forgetting

[fast ridge]

4-8

[tiny kestrel]

Oh shit I just got host of a lvl 7 server

[tiny kestrel]

Thx

[hidden pagoda]

Set it to like 5:45 tho

Reindeer like to hide

[tiny kestrel]

Oh what I’ve never even seen a lynx feeding animation

It’s tryna jump into the snow to catch something

[hidden pagoda]

Heh

[tiny kestrel]

That’s actually really cool

Max weight moose track. Will have to check that out later

[hidden pagoda]

I’m done checking caribou

I’m getting bored lol

[tiny kestrel]

Oh my god

Guaranteed lvl 5

well that was a quick search

[hidden pagoda]

Welp

Nice

[tiny kestrel]

453.43

Almost max weight

[fast ridge]

Noice

[tiny kestrel]

Perfectly even too

[hidden pagoda]

Nice

Damn yours is bigger by 0.04

[tiny kestrel]

Hopefully I can score 1-2 more off this server

[tiny kestrel]

The .303 is a beast on reindeer

[fast ridge]

.303 is a beast, period

[hidden pagoda]

Yes

[tiny kestrel]

That is true

It is now 8:00. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a rare musk deer

Still need one of those

[hidden pagoda]

Oh a piebald cow

I’ll let her go into the reset

[iron valve]

It's a little early to moose hunt don't u think🤸‍♂️

[hidden pagoda]

yes

Checking for any missed initials

[iron valve]

Ah

Sr emerges

[hidden pagoda]

I’d cry

ngl

[iron valve]

Lol

Hopeing I get a SR moose on my grind

[hidden pagoda]

There’s just a few spots I forgot to check

I haven’t bothered with Layton moose

Should prolly do that ngl

[iron valve]

What bout medved

[hidden pagoda]

Checked all of it

[tiny kestrel]

I believe I’ve checked everywhere I possibly can for moose

The Yukon river remains mostly untouched but I can’t be bothered

What’s an easy identifier for mela musk deer?

[hidden pagoda]

Lmao

[hidden pagoda]

Black

heh

[tiny kestrel]

Well no shit l

[hidden pagoda]

Idk lol

[tiny kestrel]

But they all appear black from the wonky lighting

[hidden pagoda]

I typically look at the chest

[tiny kestrel]

So I was wondering if there’s any stand out features that I can use to identify them like with red deer’s tails and face not being white

[tiny kestrel]

Aight hopefully that should help

[quiet gorge]

Progress since I started tracking things

[mossy orchid]

Why are some people saying that an initial GO spawn is no longer possible

[tiny kestrel]

It’s absolutely possible

Just harder to get

There’s a theory that GO spawns got altered and we’re made more rare

Tho why people say initial spawns aren’t possible anymore I don’t know

[hidden pagoda]

If anything they were made more common lmfao

[tiny kestrel]

not for you and I apparently

[hidden pagoda]

maybe because it’s

✨rng✨

Woaaah scary

[tiny kestrel]

I’m aware I just like to bitch at stuff

[hidden pagoda]

yeah I know

[tiny kestrel]

Musk deer are currently feeling my wrath rn

[hidden pagoda]

I’m checking a few moose spots on Layton then I’m hitting the bricks

[tiny kestrel]

YEAAH PIEBALD MALE MUSK DEER

[hidden pagoda]

Nice

[tiny kestrel]

Only a level 1 unfortunately

Fuck I accidentally used the .308

And my game crashed before I could tax him…

[full cave]

It’s okay

[tiny kestrel]

Amazing

[full cave]

Just go to trophy lodge

[fast ridge]

game really went "not today"

[tiny kestrel]

I didn’t even have time to accept the harvest

[full cave]

I don’t think you have to

[tiny kestrel]

I believe you do actually

[fast ridge]

worth checking just in case

[tiny kestrel]

I’ll check cuz I gotta put up my reindeer anyway

[full cave]

Does the update release at the same time for everyone? Or is it based on local time?

[tiny kestrel]

Same time for everyone

[fast ridge]

Approximately same time for everyone

any delays will be on the platform's end

[full cave]

A dude earlier was saying that the update is releasing early for his timezone

[tiny kestrel]

Well shit it actually did save the piebald

[hidden pagoda]

Around 2-3pst

[full cave]

am or pm?

[hidden pagoda]

0200-0300

[full cave]

am or pm?

[fast ridge]

AM

[hidden pagoda]

THAT MEANS AM

[full cave]

IM JOKING CALM DOWN

[hidden pagoda]

REEEEEEEE

[tiny kestrel]

You guys are so spastic 😭

[full cave]

I knew that’d set him off lmao

[hidden pagoda]

wot

[full cave]

Typo

[hidden pagoda]

ah

[tiny kestrel]

Welp. I can attempt to kill 2 birds with one stone and go on Yukon to get a diamond caribou and red fox

[fast ridge]

only diamond I'm missing off Yukon is the grizzly

[tiny kestrel]

I’m missing the two I just mentioned and a grizzly

Off of Layton I’m still missing coyote and black bear

Come to think of it there’s a lotta diamonds I’m still missing

[quiet gorge]

What’s a good diamond red deer score?

[fast ridge]

iirc 270+

[quiet gorge]

I thought 270 was max

[fast ridge]

that or it was 260+

[quiet gorge]

I just got a 266 and a 268 back to back

[mossy orchid]

okay thank you for clearing my confusion

hopefully someone here gets one tomorrow

[fast ridge]

alright maybe it was 270+

known max for RD is 272, according to the spreadsheet

[tiny kestrel]

272.6 is the biggest red deer we’ve seen iirc

[wet acorn]

Well 3250 in and just got my 9th piebald 😜. Frick

AHHH

IM LOSING MY MIND

I want the g1 so bad

[fast ridge]

diamonds I'm missing are:
-both bison
-fallow deer
-euro rabbit
-white-tailed and antelope jackrabbits
-black and grizzly bears
-musk deer
-raindeer
-everything on Vurhonga that isn't a springbok
-pronghorn
-mtn goat
-chamois
-hog
-pheasant
-peccary
-mountain hare
-any bird on Ravioli that isn't a capercallie, goldeneye, or canada goose

my second G1 grind gave me 7 beanos, 6 piebalds, and 1 mela

[wet acorn]

234 that’s my biggest rare I think

[tiny kestrel]

My biggest piebald is a 254 red deer

[hidden pagoda]

Alright sleep time

I’ll catch y’all at like 4am

[tiny kestrel]

Gn silly

[hidden pagoda]

nini

[wet acorn]

Damn nice, I’m on WT

[mossy orchid]

is there a way for me to get a zone back that I burnt out before I learned about all that stuff

[quiet gorge]

Not really… usually they repopulate somewhere else

[mossy orchid]

damn

I burnt two whitetail zones that had like 20-30 in them each a few months back

Atleast w the update tomorrow, it’ll fix the moose zones but the whitetail wont come back

[tiny kestrel]

Welp since I’m done showering I guess it’s time to look for caribou

[full cave]

Here’s my list of missing dimes

[tiny kestrel]

Here’s my list lol

[full cave]

You do every species on every map it looks like

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah

Like, I have 2 dia black bears but I don’t have one from Layton

So that’s why I’m still technically “missing” it

[full cave]

I see

Wild boar from Med Ved would be the only one I add to my list if I did the same as you

Until the update that is

[glossy cove]

Diamonds 21 22 and 23

[wary mason]

I'm kinda exited for the new update

Today

It's probably going to come out at around 9 my time or 14:00 my time

[full cave]

ok nice same

[visual glen]

Which time zone r u in ?

[full cave]

wdym

[visual glen]

In which time zone do you live

[full cave]

I live in Europe Sweden Stockholm btw i kinda suck at geography

[visual glen]

Im in germany so its rn 9:28

[full cave]

same

[visual glen]

If i remember right the last maps always came out at 12 o'clock

But when revontuli came out i wasnt playing active so i aint sure anymore

[full cave]

ok so it will probably come out in 2:30 hours

[visual glen]

Ig

[full cave]

btw do you want to play the new map with me?

when it comes out

[visual glen]

Which platform r u on ?

[full cave]

pc

[visual glen]

Oh im ps4

Sry

[full cave]

we can still play you know that right

[visual glen]

I thought there was no crossplay

[full cave]

pc cant play with xbox

[tiny kestrel]

Crossplay isn’t a thing in COTW. The only form of Crossplay is between Steam and Epic Games

[visual glen]

Thats what i thought

[tiny kestrel]

Also, I’d say move this convo to #🦌︴find-a-game

[full cave]

ok

[visual glen]

Im sure u will find someone

[wary mason]

Scottish, so GMT

[visual glen]

I cant wait anymore for starting grinding i hope it comes soon

[wary mason]

Yeah frr

[tiny kestrel]

Good fucking luck

[trail hornet]

lmaooo bro

[rigid forge]

sometime between now and the heat death of the universe

[tiny kestrel]

👺👺👺👺

[woeful widget]

What's the best map to grind for great one red deer

[tiny kestrel]

Te Awaroa by far

[trail hornet]

nah its cuatro

[tiny kestrel]

Wrong

[trail hornet]

right

[visual glen]

Nah te awaroa is better

Its easy to grind there and the zones are easy to find

[visual glen]

Its out ig

Theres an update

It takes more than 1 hour oh

[trail hornet]

bro it was out a whole 38 minutes ago

[visual glen]

Didnt see it but its fine

Now ive seen it

[hidden pagoda]

Aight game do be updating

[full cave]

I’m hearing an early rumor that red deer were reset

Nvm, false alarm

I was worried I would lose my stacked trophies

[visual glen]

Bruh it says the update needs 4 min to finsish i already wait for 70 and now it goes soo slow

[hidden pagoda]

My update do be done

[visual glen]

Omg im so pissed

[hidden pagoda]

OH MY GOD 60FPS IS SO NICE

I NOTICE IT IMMEDIATELY

[visual glen]

I have to pause and start new every 5 sec

It downloads 80 mb then stops

[hidden pagoda]

Weird

[visual glen]

PS4 is weird

Its finished i can finally start grinding

Hm i got the same zones in medved as before

[wary mason]

I'm excited for moose

On medved

[full cave]

Yeah me too

[tame solar]

You know

I haven't even really thought about a moose grind lol

[daring kindle]

Omg I hate actually wanting to hunt on medved

Help me

[tame solar]

Ikr

It just feels so wrong

[full cave]

Med Ved isn’t bad

Even before all the changes it wasn’t bad, just give it a chance

[daring kindle]

I liked it only for musk deer

Everything else I hated it for

[tame solar]

I want to do a wolf grind

17 to 20 is such a nice zone time

[full cave]

It’s actually really good for most of its animals

[hidden pagoda]

Medved is a good map, genuinely

[daring kindle]

Moose are 12-16?

[full cave]

Exactly

[daring kindle]

For their drink time

[hidden pagoda]

all maps, yes

[full cave]

Hirsch and Mississippi are the maps that deserve hate

[hidden pagoda]

I’m especially happy that lynx have a drink time again lmao

[tame solar]

With all zones now being the exact same time is so nice

[full cave]

I forgot that Lynx are getting their drink time back

[daring kindle]

Cashnip is yelling in joy

[full cave]

I desperately want jackal to get the drink time back

[tame solar]

Yeah

[daring kindle]

Omg this is dumb when you spot something your marker goes away wtf

And you can mark with binos wtf

[trail hornet]

aaanndd moose grinding starts now :))

[tame solar]

Explain?

Bro you guys are already playing!

[daring kindle]

Yes I got on and it didn’t have to update

When you place a waypoint and spot something the waypoint goes away and you can place waypoints with your Binos

[tame solar]

I can't play for another 12 hours...

[daring kindle]

Initial spawn level 5

Nice

[tame solar]

Ok that makes sense

[daring kindle]

Do I wanna shoot this 5 or go find zones and leave it for herd management when I start

He gettin smoked

300 heart shot doesn’t drop them anymore

Wtf

[full cave]

I actually like that, especially because they only go maybe 20 feet

Feels a bit more immersive

[daring kindle]

Lady did it before update and her results make me wanna do it

[visual glen]

🤣

Saw this in an other chat

[daring kindle]

Messed up super rare 😭

[trail hornet]

F

oligator probably gonna cry after seeing it

[daring kindle]

Lvl 3 male brown bear

Hooge male

[full cave]

Most people do herd management in order to exclude zone from their grind while still benefiting. It also increases your chances at a super rare which is always a welcome sight

[daring kindle]

I can’t wait until someone makes a moose map I’m struggling so hard

[pliant oak]

i made one for nem

all the locations

its on my channel

[daring kindle]

Alright i will go check it out. Thanks

[coarse oak]

Zones didn’t change it was just the population correct ?

[trail hornet]

i didnt get wigeon decoys

my game is fucked idk

[tame solar]

Oh thats an old trophy on xbox. I saw it over a year ago

[coarse oak]

How so ? Just check every water source lol it’s gonna take some time

[ashen depot]

Like what @coarse oak said it’s gonna take time

[hidden pagoda]

Alright initial spawn diamond

[pliant oak]

id focus on finding nice spots and just killing say like 10 - 15 kills then restart your grind

it will probably work out better than long hunts

[trail hornet]

my moose drink zones arent even fucking working 💀

[pliant oak]

in which map ?

nem ?

[trail hornet]

medved

[pliant oak]

by working are they new zones or the old ones

as they changed them

[trail hornet]

its old zones

[pliant oak]

yeah as you find new ones they will be different

often how it is when they change

[trail hornet]

but like theres no moose on the entire lake and im at drink time atm

[hidden pagoda]

I mean all of my zones are in the same spots

[pliant oak]

did you spawn close

try somewhere else come back

[hidden pagoda]

It’s so weird seeing geese on Yukon lmao

[trail hornet]

i have a tent in the middle of bolshoye lake

[hidden pagoda]

Also console lost the ability to change FOV

[trail hornet]

idk maybe its the problem

[hidden pagoda]

And every time I spot an animal the marker goes away lmfao

[pliant oak]

try walking away in render then look back if they spawn its the tent

[trail hornet]

nvm im happy jow ifound some moose at a different lake :))

[pliant oak]

sometimes if you spawn too close to a need zone they wont be there

or more correct you wont be able to see them until you get to the correct render distance

[trail hornet]

omg im gonna scream this muzzleloaders bullet just phased through a moose

irs the old one

[trail hornet]

ill just use the outpost then

[hidden pagoda]

Mmm the 300 mag spooks moose from 300m away, fun

[trail hornet]

they make us want to grind but make it impossible to grind

[hidden pagoda]

right

[trail hornet]

WTF

the moose just shivered

[coarse oak]

It would appear this update isn’t going well for you lol

It’s cold

[trail hornet]

heart shot my first moose after the update

[hidden pagoda]

Bro

Fml

Why did I shoot that high 💀

Eh moose grind I’ll get 20 more of these

[trail hornet]

u cant mess up tyis bad sonic

surely not

[hidden pagoda]

it’s finneeeee it wasn’t a level 10

No need to cry over spilt milk

[trail hornet]

unless its $130 donkey milk

[hidden pagoda]

Lmao

[trail hornet]

where do i hunt pheasants on hirsch

[hidden pagoda]

No clue

[trail hornet]

this update is confusing me

i havent received wigeon decoys and i havent seen a single backfilled species yet

[hidden pagoda]

Really not looking forward to copper bowl lake

[iron valve]

Why's that

[hidden pagoda]

It’s 2km of running lmao

It’s like the southwest coast of Layton

[iron valve]

Copper bowl has an outpost I think

[hidden pagoda]

It does

But copper bowl is huge

[iron valve]

Wait the bottom right

Yea fk that

[hidden pagoda]

Bottom left

[iron valve]

That's what I meant I'm just terrible at directions

[hidden pagoda]

yeah that lake is annoying asf

[iron valve]

I once told someone to hunt the bottom right for grados

[iron valve]

Map would be better without it

[hidden pagoda]

Fr

[jovial snow]

the fleeing is insane...

and the worst thing is that they don't stop

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah lmao

[iron valve]

They changed it?

[jovial snow]

yeah it's awful

i ahve female foxes not stopping at 350 meters, just fleeing out of render

it is ridiculous

[fast ridge]

Well, people were complaining that spooking behavior wasn't realistic enough

[hidden pagoda]

bruh

I’m gonna defenestrate someone

[jovial snow]

sure but with the current state you will need to craw to every lake and hope to see smth 😄

[hidden pagoda]

Alright there’s another 5

Lmao

This is just Yukon

I still have 4 more maps to check

[iron valve]

Medved finna go crazy

[hidden pagoda]

Guy had no brows so I expect a troll

Yeah.

[acoustic cedar]

Today’s the day!

[iron valve]

Indeed

Go kill the GO

[acoustic cedar]

Lol if only

I’ll just hop on and grab one real quick

[iron valve]

Exactly

[hidden pagoda]

yuuup

I’m getting diamonds so I’m happy lmao

[glossy cove]

And I can't do crap now xD. Ps don't fast travel to the far top left corner of Rancho

[hidden pagoda]

Yukon might be a go as far as grinding goes but I’m still waiting to see my Medved

[hidden pagoda]

Oop

[glossy cove]

Yeah it instantly crashes the game and since its the last outpost I fast traveled too I'm stuck in a endless crash loop because the loading screen doesn't even finish before I crash while relaunching the game

[hidden pagoda]

Oh nooooo

[glossy cove]

first time I've found a major crash xD 😭

[gilded whale]

rip

[iron valve]

"We playtest the game"

[gilded whale]

more like "we make sure the new stuff works and everything else is acceptable"

also who else doesnt like how the harvest screen looks

[glossy cove]

Yeah so I'm just gonna watch y'all today and who knows how long until its fixed

[full cave]

Your game crashes in the main menu?

[glossy cove]

It crashes before the loading screen is even finished

[full cave]

Dang, I’m sorry to hear that

[glossy cove]

everything was fine until I fast traveled to that outpost

[full cave]

Hopefully it’s just that singular outpost

[glossy cove]

hopefully. I just hope no one else goes to it

[hidden pagoda]

I’ve checked this much lol

black is cow only/2 or less

Green is 3+ but all bulls are level 1/2

And red is “you could grind this”

[visual glen]

Was there another messed up SR bc he said he messed up 2/3

[tribal sky]

That’s a spots of which animal?

I want to start grind GO but don’t know exactly how to do that

[hidden pagoda]

Moose, just where I’ve looked so far

[tribal sky]

Ooh nice

[acoustic cedar]

I’m just happy I can let some bullets fly instead of having to let these meese walk

[full cave]

Is it just me or is there some weird stuff that happens when you auto sprint past an animal while harvesting it?

I swear that I’m being teleported backwards an equal distance in the opposite direction of the animals body

[tribal sky]

I have a question… in GO grind, if I saw a group, I need kill just the males? Or the females too?

[full cave]

Just the males

[tribal sky]

the females don't disturb the spawn of the males?

[full cave]

No

[hidden pagoda]

Well they can… kinda, in my experience if you have a zone of 4 does and 2 bucks, you’ll have to shoot 2 of the does and both of the bucks for said bucks to respawn

[tribal sky]

Oh I understand, it's just that sometimes I see flocks of only females, so I'm in doubt if I need to kill them too

[full cave]

The animals actually seem to not even obey the sizes of zones

[hidden pagoda]

Nah leave em be

[full cave]

I’ve had red deer that were in a zone of 8 turn into a zone of 7 and then 6 and then back to 7

The zone was never deleted

So no, I don’t believe the females impact male respawns

[tribal sky]

ah, another thing that I was doubtful too XD, is it necessary to collect the animal so that it can respawn? sometimes I can't find some

[tribal sky]

That’s good, thanks ❤️

[glossy cove]

Update. Hopped onto a different account to see what would happen, run towards the outpost and crashed while I was 227m away from it

So not only avoid the outpost but avoid that entire part of the map

[hidden pagoda]

So rancho is just fucked again?

[glossy cove]

Yep

[hidden pagoda]

Nice

Lmao

[glossy cove]

I'm just happy its not just my main account game only

[unkempt parcel]

What a good morning y'all xD

[glossy cove]

For everyone else that can avoid that Rancho area yes, for me nope 😂😭

[unkempt parcel]

Wait what?!! I just woke up, what happened to Rancho?!!!

[hidden pagoda]

^

Avoid the top left corner.

[hasty wigeon]

It is not realistic at all

[unkempt parcel]

Oh, k well tnx for telling me lol, hopefully it wasn't my last location there too

[glossy cove]

Yeah so I'm stuck in Rancho until they fix it

And can't even load into the game because of it

[unkempt parcel]

Wait, you can't even change the map? The game won't simply open?

[glossy cove]

Nope crashes before the loading screen is finished

[fast ridge]

honestly that's such a specific issue on an older map, it's not too out there that it was missed during testing

[unkempt parcel]

That sucks man, hopefully you got an initial spawn GO when it gets fixed

I just woke up, about to start the download

[hidden pagoda]

Nice

I got up 4 hours ago to update it lmao

I’ve been searching Yukon for the last 3 hours

And I’m going to have to do at least one more time reset…

[unkempt parcel]

How are the geese there? (I wish it was dall sheep)

[hidden pagoda]

Haven’t bothered with em

I’ve just been looking at moose

Yukon is really not looking like my map of choice

Especially with gunshot spook range being like 300m now

[jovial snow]

how did this almost make diamond? :X

[hidden pagoda]

Lol

[pliant oak]

i reported the crash yesterday

i had the screen freeze so i just killed the game process

[unkempt parcel]

Everybody reporting bugs and stuff, I don't know if I wanna open the game now lol

[hidden pagoda]

Actually…

I just might not do herd management for moose

Because I’ll prolly do what I did for reds

Get one and then go for another a month later

[raw geyser]

So, a little while ago, I had bought revontuli coast and my first find was an albino moose. The pic is kinda low quality, bc Xbox screenshots have too much space.

[wet acorn]

Well I’m not even updating my game until I get my G1 because of the new@spook mechanics

[tribal sky]

New spook mechanics?

[wet acorn]

Yeah animals spook from 300m now instead of 3

2*

Or something

[fast ridge]

They run for longer too afaik

[tiny kestrel]

What

They spook from 300m?

[fast ridge]

I've seen some people saying they run out of rendering range now

[wet acorn]

Holy

That’s why I’m just not updating till I get my g1

Can’t be messing up my grind rn

[hidden pagoda]

Yeah ima have to readjust my whitetail because of that

almost done checking Yukon….

[unkempt parcel]

Layton next?

[hidden pagoda]

Medved.

[coarse oak]

Found a initial guaranteed diamond at 288 min , but do I wanna keep him up or kill him. Herd management says keep him but my trophy room says kill

[unkempt parcel]

If he is at a lake you're planning to grind for GO on, keep him, it'll cause lvl 1-2s spawn more at the lakes you wanna leave behind.

[coarse oak]

Yea he’s right at the start of the ravine where lady has like 20 zones

[pliant oak]

have you got a pic of your map ?

[hidden pagoda]

They’re everywhere water is.

But yes

[pliant oak]

thinking of grinding there or medved or revontuli

[hidden pagoda]

Here’s where I’ve checked so far

Reds are grindable

Black is cow only/2 *moose or less

Green is all bulls are level 1/2

[pliant oak]

yukon maybe best as saying earlier kill 10 - 15 bulls then start rotation again

[hidden pagoda]

Prolly

[pliant oak]

wouldnt take long either with right tents

[hidden pagoda]

I’ll do what I do on Layton

8-10 zones and super quick rotations

[pliant oak]

yeah i think thats what i may do

[little jetty]

Yukon grind is on

[pliant oak]

if they dont swap on yukon the top right corner and middle should get you 10 - 15 bulls quite quickly

if they dont swap zones at all that could be a nice rotation

[coarse oak]

I swear I’ve been attacked like 7 times already by wolves on Med Ved but I got a diamond out of it so

[acoustic cedar]

Welp my game is updated, it’s grindin time

[pliant oak]

yeah just finished mine video just rendering then im starting

good luck all

[little jetty]

Ye, u too

[acoustic cedar]

And you

[hidden pagoda]

Gotta consider the 300m spook range now

[little jetty]

It’s kill 3 and 4 right?

[hidden pagoda]

Yeh 3+ if you’re gonna manage

[pliant oak]

i did notice when i was hunting there yesterday that some of the moose will run when taking longish shots

[coarse oak]

And now a musk deer has killed me lol 😂

[pliant oak]

which is why this will be a hardish grind working out where it works best

[safe jewel]

what are the moose drink time

are they the same?

[hidden pagoda]

All 12-16

[safe jewel]

alr thx

[tribal sky]

Which Best maps to red deer and whitetail GO grind?

[wet acorn]

Best way to do any grind ImO

[hidden pagoda]

Yup

[hidden pagoda]

Whichever one you like the most

[wet acorn]

I can’t decide what I want to do when I get my WT g1, moose or red

Whatchu think fellas

I kinda wanna do moose jsut to hunt Yukon also there’s more variety

[hidden pagoda]

Moose

[acoustic cedar]

Honestly I’m just grinding the entire map of medved lol

[hidden pagoda]

Nobody has a moose yet (probably)

[acoustic cedar]

This setup seems to be working good already

[hidden pagoda]

Thousands of people have red deer

[hidden pagoda]

Ah

Treating it like lynx haha

[acoustic cedar]

Yep!

That lynx grind had me well set up!

[hidden pagoda]

The lynx grind was fun

[acoustic cedar]

It was definitely interesting lol

[hidden pagoda]

Hell I managed to get 600 lynx in a week or two

5 rares and a diamond

I ain’t complaining

[acoustic cedar]

That’s great going!

[hidden pagoda]

I’m so close to being done with Yukon

[trail hornet]

siwtch to medved

also how the fuck did you edit that quickly

[hidden pagoda]

Yes

[wet acorn]

Good idea mate

[hidden pagoda]

I’m not setting up on any map until I’m done checking every map

Except for the new one

[acoustic cedar]

Not liking it?

[hidden pagoda]

Almost done searching it

all I meant by that

[acoustic cedar]

Ooooooooh

I seeeee

[north nova]

Morning All

[wet acorn]

I’m too lazy to go through all the maps of moose I’m just gonna set up on Yukon

[hidden pagoda]

Only took 4 and a half hours 🥴

[wet acorn]

For me it’s between Yukon and Layton tbh

[north nova]

Where is everyone thinking of starting the Moose grind

[hidden pagoda]

Layton has my whitetail setup

So unless moose are where my whitetail are….

[acoustic cedar]

Medved for me

[wet acorn]

Have you checked his bad the new spooking messes with stuff. I really want to update but don’t wanna ruin my set up

[wet acorn]

Yukon

[gilded whale]

medded vedded

[hidden pagoda]

Huh?

[gilded whale]

now its a matter of time till someone gets a moose GO

[hidden pagoda]

Yes

[acoustic cedar]

Bet by tomorrow one shows up

[wet acorn]

Sorry lemme re word, have you checked how much the new spooking mechanics effects your set up on WT? I dont wanna mess my grind up

[hidden pagoda]

Mine seems to work fine

They’re pretty spread out

But my double zones aren’t gonna work anymore

[wet acorn]

I’m interested to see because I feel like if not that pretty much confirms that they removed initial spawns.

[acoustic cedar]

I guess we shall see!

[wet acorn]

Yeah that’s what sucks. Majority of my kills come from those spots

[hidden pagoda]

yuuuup

[pliant oak]

anyone on nem at the moment unlocking map in mp ?

[north nova]

Would it confirm it tho?

[abstract atlas]

is the update out guyz?

[pliant oak]

yup

[north nova]

LC HI

[abstract atlas]

yay

heyoo

[pliant oak]

moose grinding time

[north nova]

I MISSED YOUR ANTICS

[gilded whale]

LC HI

[hidden pagoda]

Alright now time to check Medved

[hidden pagoda]

LC

WOOOOOOO

[abstract atlas]

EEEEEEEEEEE

[gilded whale]

holy shit

[abstract atlas]

whats that

[wet acorn]

Yeah as far as I’m concerned. Thousands of people checking their maps, thats hundreds of thousands of chances at a moose G1 and last time I checked, G1s weren’t 1/100000

[gilded whale]

moose drink zones

[north nova]

LC have you seen the fur retexture on red fox?

[abstract atlas]

yes i love it

i like the mela a lot

[north nova]

It's so good

[abstract atlas]

bro is fast

[north nova]

/shrug

[gilded whale]

its a virtual day for me i dont have anything else to do
so i shall be active!

[wet acorn]

I need to actually keep track of my zones this grind like that it will probably be nice

[north nova]

Aww they killed the shrug

[wet acorn]

Elaborate

[gilded whale]

@north nova you cant do most / commands in a reply ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[abstract atlas]

🤷‍♂️

[north nova]

Wonder why it didn't work with mine then. Weird

[hidden pagoda]

Moose yeah

Again

Black are no go

Same with green

Red can be used

[wet acorn]

Did you count exactly how many zones you have on Yukon?

[abstract atlas]

time for some gaming on yukon

[hidden pagoda]

Lemme count rq

[abstract atlas]

whats the moose drink time please?

[wet acorn]

Also for HM what do you do if you have a zone with only 2 moose but a bull that is level 3+

[tardy stream]

12 - 16.

[wet acorn]

12-16 int it

[north nova]

Well, since we don't have an actual "great ones spawn at a rate of 1 in -number- information" I wouldn't say it's confirmed unless it's stated by the devs or someone higher up (i.e. Jaxy level).
It's a fair speculation but until it's written in stone, or concrete proof

[balmy summit]

@abstract atlas how's the albino go

[north nova]

Low blow 🤣

[gilded whale]

its a common

[wet acorn]

I guess.

[hidden pagoda]

139 moose drink zones on Yukon.

[wet acorn]

Damn

[abstract atlas]

oh shit yeah maybe it got fixed?

[weak flame]

what changed to what? zones- times for great ones wise

[wet acorn]

So pretty anywhere you go just has a ridiculous amount of zones for moose

[balmy summit]

yeah i hope mine is back to common

[hidden pagoda]

None

[north nova]

Hmm.. report back on this.

[hidden pagoda]

Well

[abstract atlas]

hopping into a lodge now

[hidden pagoda]

Mountain lion won’t bug black bear on srp

That’s it

[balmy summit]

love these new models

[wet acorn]

Is anybody really gonna grind Bb anyway

Now

[weak flame]

I mean my red deer are all over the place

[gilded whale]

i will

i want that multimount

[weak flame]

so something must have changed

[gilded whale]

moose, then bb, then red

[abstract atlas]

the GO is still common :((

[gilded whale]

[wet acorn]

I’d literally die if I did a g1 grind in the dark like I would dive off of a cliff after 50 kills. ESPECIALLY, on a predator species

[weak flame]

wdym?

[wet acorn]

Wdym

[abstract atlas]

wait

[gilded whale]

it got changed to a common a while back when they "fixed" some furs

[wet acorn]

Ohh damnnn

That’s would suckk

[gilded whale]

his GO was shot during the time period where some other trophies were bugged with incorrect furs, and in order to fix those old trophies they had to change some stuff around and in result, whitetail shot in that specific time period were changed (common -> albino/pie or rare->common)

[balmy summit]

so i have an albino go and lc doesnt haaaa

[wet acorn]

Does he have a beeno G1? Can I see of pic of dat if so

[gilded whale]

dammit you beat me

[hidden pagoda]

Lel

[abstract atlas]

ha!

[weak flame]

how was I unable to get a g1 red deer in 4k kills is what seems dumb to me 🤷‍♂️

100+ dias

[abstract atlas]

i was hoping it could get fixed by this fur update for whitetails

[gilded whale]

i am mentally ruined now and will go homeless in 2 days

[weak flame]

dont get how some get in under 300

[gilded whale]

🏃

[balmy summit]

moose drink time on new england?

[hidden pagoda]

12-16 like every other map

[balmy summit]

ty

[wet acorn]

Would probably actually have a heart attack if I spotted that

[abstract atlas]

Hmm where can i change the look of the guns ?

[hidden pagoda]

Outpost

[abstract atlas]

1h staring at that dude

[floral ginkgo]

Just making sure I'm not the only one is ur guys dogs tracking blood mine won't do anything

[abstract atlas]

in cache,and then idk

[wet acorn]

I rarely use the dogs, mostly on tiny birds that are hard to see after I kill ‘em

[hidden pagoda]

Go into your inventory

And look at the bottom of the screen here it says select and back

There should be a button for customize

[abstract atlas]

ah its an dlc

i turned the game on before getting it

wait it said free before no?

[wet acorn]

You get some customizations for all the maps dont you? For free

[weak flame]

cleaning up the stacked red dears is a pain now lol

[abstract atlas]

oh nice then

[weak flame]

theyre all over the place

[wary mason]

This game is fucking mint, can't even load the skins "checking installed content" been like that for like 5 mins and I have bought the dlc

[tiny kestrel]

So let’s see

[weak flame]

herds just went through a blender or something

[abstract atlas]

skill issue

i cant type

[weak flame]

skill issue

[hidden pagoda]

Skill issue.

[abstract atlas]

excuse me

[weak flame]

🚤

[vapid mulch]

my game crashed 3 times while traveling to the same tent on revontuli coast...

[tiny kestrel]

• Abhorrent crashing
• console players not being able to spot animals without placing a marker down
• gun customization just not working at all
• visual bugs on next gen consoles

Anything I’m missing?

[wary mason]

Anyone else experiencing this what seems to be a bug?

I can't load my weapon skins it's stuck on "Checking installed content" oh how I love this game c:

[wet acorn]

Damn, kind of disappointing really thought this update would of been a really good one

[fast ridge]

Worked fine for me.

[unkempt parcel]

I haven't opened the game yet, I'm worried to do so

[wary mason]

I have no clue why it's not for me

[hidden pagoda]

My customization is working fine

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah it seems to be a console-only issue

Specifically PS4

[hidden pagoda]

Might be an internet thing

[wet acorn]

Def not updating for a min now

[tiny kestrel]

(And PS5)

[hidden pagoda]

Or PS yeah

[wary mason]

My net is perfect, I have bought the dlcs

I have to close the game to get out of it

If I don't get my skins I want my fucking money back tbh

[fast ridge]

Customization was part of the free update

[wary mason]

I bought the skins

[tiny kestrel]

They prolly bought the veteran pack

Yeah

[wary mason]

Yeah

[weak flame]

SOMEONE PLEASE REMOVE MALLARDA FROM TE AWAROA

caps***

[wary mason]

It's she btw, so you don't have to use they xD

[tiny kestrel]

Why

[wary mason]

Why.?

[weak flame]

theyre sooo loud and abnoxious and at EVERY SINGLE lake

[wary mason]

And?

It's just ducks

[tiny kestrel]

I just use they by default so I don’t get the pronouns wrong lol

[wet acorn]

It seems weird they added that to te to me but idrc

[wary mason]

Ah lol,

[vapid mulch]

anyone shot a moose GO yet?

[tiny kestrel]

Doesn’t seem like it

We’re busy tryna get our game to actually work

[wary mason]

I'm kinda pissed my skins won't load

[hidden pagoda]

yeh lmfao

[tiny kestrel]

Again, seems to be an issue with PlayStation only

[wary mason]

Yeah

[fast ridge]

someone on Steam is having the problem as well

but, again, only some people are being affected

[wary mason]

And I bet it won't get fixed until like next update or somn which is probably 6 odd months

[tiny kestrel]

Worst part about all this is we won’t get bug fixes for a decent bit

[wary mason]

Exactly

[tiny kestrel]

So, we’re just gonna have to deal with all of this shit for a while

[wary mason]

They only really seem to push out updates when a map comes out

[abstract atlas]

I Dont even have it there..

[wary mason]

That's one of my only issues with that game

[tiny kestrel]

I’m really hoping I can manage to find a way to turn off waypoints because if I place a marker down each time I try to spot an animal I’m gonna go mental

[wary mason]

Is we have to wait months for some shit to be fixed xD

As with every update the game breaks

I know they do Dev testing ect but that's only a few people yk

[tiny kestrel]

Game engine doesn’t allow for updates to be sent out without requiring a full game redownload. Shame nothing can be done about it

[weak flame]

Unrelated but, when making a full dia red deer lodge, how do u put the red deer in the small plaques?

[tiny kestrel]

You can’t anymore

[weak flame]

is it a bug or smth or how does it work? seen it multiple times now

great.

[tiny kestrel]

The lodge glitch got accidentally patched

[weak flame]

how xd

[unkempt parcel]

Is the bino bug still a thing? (The line under)

[weak flame]

yes^

[tiny kestrel]

Unfortunately they can’t just roll it back because they have no clue what did it

[weak flame]

cant they just add it as a feuture?

where u can activate "advanced lodge monitoring" or smth

[unkempt parcel]

Ugh ... I knew any bug from early access will make it to the update 😔

[tiny kestrel]

Kinda hard to replicate a bug intentionally

My suggestion would be to rework what can fit where, my biggest example being;
Elk can fit on large ground platforms but red deer can’t, whilst red deer can fit on large wall plaques and elk can’t. Even though they’re both roughly the same size

[wet acorn]

They should honestly just make any mounts available on any plaques, I don’t think people would be against that tbh

[weak flame]

Also, every other of my structures is dissappearing

i dont think its the beavers' fault xd

any great one grind zones at england?

[tiny kestrel]

I’d like to check but, y’know, school

[weak flame]

for moose is my aim, any map tbh

[weak flame]

not really but ye haha

[hidden pagoda]

Hey we never fixed the line under the binos and disregarded making people’s games soft lock but there’s a new font when spotting things

💀

[tiny kestrel]

Are you fucking joking

[balmy summit]

so whyd they ruin the harvest screen

[weak flame]

They didnt...

[balmy summit]

cant do pretty sky background anymore

[solar wing]

I also think it looks really bad, I love the idea of inspecting a kill and being able to zoom but it doesn't look very good

[tiny kestrel]

The harvest screen is better than it’s ever been what are you talking about

[hidden pagoda]

The harvest screen is the least of our worries right now

Best hope the moose GOs aren’t broken like the red deer were at launch

[tiny kestrel]

So much shit to worry about

[hidden pagoda]

Avoid the top left corner on rancho

Fyi

[tiny kestrel]

How come?

[hidden pagoda]

Makes your game go into a boot loop.

You can’t even get into the menu

Without it crashing

Ask Jonny lol

[tiny kestrel]

Wow so the game said “hey remember how you wanted to get a diamond peccary? Yeah about that, go fuck yourself”

[hidden pagoda]

Lmfao

[wet acorn]

God damn school

[lone moon]

anyone had any lucky initial spawns yet?

[wet acorn]

Pretty sure they don’t exist

[lone moon]

nah they do, just very stupidly rare

unless it got changed with the new update

[tiny kestrel]

I don’t imagine they’d screw around with spawn rates

[hidden pagoda]

Some people say they can’t happen anymore but I highly doubt that

That would be beyond stupid

[daring kindle]

Do what I did and fake sick. Now I’m on my way home

[tiny kestrel]

I have to catch up on work I missed while I was sick

[daring kindle]

L

[lone moon]

yeah cause the last great one was the black bear and that was found via initial spawn

i think

my games got another 12gb to download before i can hop on

[tiny kestrel]

Indeed

[abstract atlas]

bruh

[wet acorn]

Idk I don’t think they do, have there been any initials posted since the pistol pack?

[daring kindle]

I forgot you existed

[tiny kestrel]

Tell me, what would prevent an initial spawn great one

[hidden pagoda]

Most people’s initials were found by the time that came out

[abstract atlas]

now you know i exist

[tiny kestrel]

Great ones spawn just like every other animal does albeit with a far lower spawn rate

[wet acorn]

I have no clue. I’m just observing the evidence

[tiny kestrel]

How would it make sense that them specifically can’t be initial spawns

Just because it doesn’t happen often doesn’t mean it can’t happen whatsoever

[wet acorn]

I don’t know bro, but there used to be initial spawns posted just about everyday and when was the last time you saw one?

[daring kindle]

The last update

[tiny kestrel]

^^^

[hidden pagoda]

Eh just wait

If nobody gets an initial moose

Even after a month.

[daring kindle]

Yeah it’s to early I’m sure one will be found

[hidden pagoda]

Not a single initial

[wet acorn]

Lets see it

[hidden pagoda]

Then we know

[tiny kestrel]

Gonna be me frfr

[wet acorn]

Yeah that’s pretty much what I’ve been saying

[hidden pagoda]

Otherwise they’ve gotta be possible

It’d be unfair to new players that don’t know how to grind to just

[daring kindle]

Wasn’t the G1 bear an initial

[hidden pagoda]

Make initials impossible

[tiny kestrel]

The first one to be found was

[lone moon]

its not like its a different animal class like with non typs in classic it will still have the same spawning properties as anything else, just much lower

[trail dawn]

first super rare

[tiny kestrel]

Nice dude

[lone moon]

yo nice man

[daring kindle]

Nice

[tiny kestrel]

Looks awesome in the new screen

[lone moon]

huge W

[hidden pagoda]

Hot

[abstract atlas]

how

[tiny kestrel]

I’m really hoping that if my albino SR spawns it’s perfectly even

[lone moon]

are you the guy who has a mela and piebald SR red deer?

[abstract atlas]

idk but that harvest screen doesnt fit with me

[daring kindle]

Luck

[daring kindle]

Fr I wish the zoom feature stays but when you aren’t zoomed the old one is there

[tiny kestrel]

It seems the .30-06 has had its stats changed. It now has 1 more penetration than the .308

[crude spindle]

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen and gender non-conforming to the great one race of December 2022

[abstract atlas]

yes

[hidden pagoda]

That was changed a while ago

[lone moon]

i got 12 more minutes to wait but i also kinda want to play new vegas

[hidden pagoda]

WOOO LETS GOOOOOOO

lmao

[trail dawn]

no sleeping

[plain raptor]

I have to wait until I get off work

But it’s downloaded

[tiny kestrel]

Has it? I remember it having less penetration

[hidden pagoda]

Yes

[tiny kestrel]

Damn

[hidden pagoda]

Also make sure to crouch before teleporting to tents

I keep getting stuck inside of them

And having to re teleport

[abstract atlas]

yeah happened to me already too

[hidden pagoda]

Been happening for a while but it seems to have gotten worse

[plain raptor]

It has gotten worse

[trail hornet]

r u the guy who got an albino great one

[plain raptor]

Happens every other teleport

[abstract atlas]

maybe

[daring kindle]

No don’t let him lie

[trail hornet]

damn

if u are then show ur lodge

ez

[hidden pagoda]

It’s a common now lol

[abstract atlas]

its common for a long time

[hidden pagoda]

But yes that is the guy

[trail hornet]

wdym common

[daring kindle]

When the fur glitch happened

[tiny kestrel]

The Rancho fur bug made it turn into a common fur type

[abstract atlas]

^

[fast ridge]

The fixing of the Rancho fur bug turned it common.

[daring kindle]

They shoulda gave it back to him fr

Shoulda found a way

[trail hornet]

ohhh

i see

[abstract atlas]

lets face it,they dont care

[trail hornet]

true

[tiny kestrel]

In fact, didn’t someone from the dev team claim that LC was modding?

[hidden pagoda]

Lmfao

[trail hornet]

i knew it!

[safe jewel]

whats a common fur type?

[abstract atlas]

an albino great one

[tiny kestrel]

A common fur type

I dont know how else to explain it

[hidden pagoda]

Lmao

[safe jewel]

so a bug made it common?

[tiny kestrel]

It’s pretty self explanatory

[safe jewel]

ye i meant the thing with the albino thingie

[abstract atlas]

yup

[safe jewel]

rip

[trail hornet]

so technically i cant grind for 10 great ones and 5/10 of them would be albino

think about it

[daring kindle]

Logic isn’t logicing rn

[trail hornet]

ik

[abstract atlas]

same

[little jetty]

I’m moving so slow any tips

[tiny kestrel]

Let’s say, for example, that the GO spawn rate is 1/1000 (based off of how often people get GOs here) and the albino spawn rate is 1/2000 (from my own experience)

That would make an albino great one have a 1/2000000 chance of spawning

[trail hornet]

o h

im so stupid

[little jetty]

In 1:30 min

So slow, any tips

[trail hornet]

i have over 40 whitetail kills so far

im also slow

[half sedge]

30 in 1:30 minutes? And slow? 💀

That good

[plain raptor]

At least you guys can grind ;u;

[tiny kestrel]

I think they mean an hour and thirty minutes

Could be wrong

[half sedge]

oh

[daring kindle]

Yeah I think that’s what they meant

[little jetty]

Yes

[daring kindle]

What r u grinding

[little jetty]

Moose

[tiny kestrel]

Do you have all 16 tents set up?

[daring kindle]

What map

[little jetty]

No

[tiny kestrel]

How many zones are you going through per run?

[plain raptor]

Look at the zig zags lol

[little jetty]

Is that good or Moore tent

[tiny kestrel]

I ask because I wanted to get a general idea of how many zones you’re going through every run

[daring kindle]

This river strip on medved imma have to run and gun to grind there is so many damn moose

[little jetty]

Run?

[trail dawn]

yes run

[daring kindle]

Every rotation

[little jetty]

What, rotation??

[daring kindle]

Every time reset when you go through the zones and shoot them
