[tiny kestrel]

Hopefully grinding gives me something good today as well

Oh for fuck’s sake I’m gonna strangle Kingkwak

[wary mason]

@somber turret I bet you like that mallard posted c:

I'm sorry please forgive me xD

[full cave]

Wtf

[spark osprey]

Is that good?

[full cave]

Yes

I bought rev yesterday aswell lol I’m checking zones

[spark osprey]

Check the top middle lake

[full cave]

Spotted a huge level 4

He won’t make it

Still big

[pliant oak]

we are blessed with stormzy who would of knew

funny he was at my mates work place not long ago

😉

[sturdy marten]

Oops

Accidentally killed a level 2

[fast ridge]

$ is $

[pliant oak]

did this on a red other day nearly shed a tear

😂

think worst was a level 1 black bear male

probably one of the rarest animals in cotw

[fast ridge]

min levels are just under diamonds imo in terms of rarity

[sturdy marten]

Man they set me up too

I was about to shoot the male in the head

And the smaller one walked in front of it the second I shot it

Brutal troll

Max estimate 218

[pliant oak]

level 1 bears seem...even rarer than most

[wooden junco]

Mornin all. Got my kiwi fruit mother energy drink time to grind TA

[sturdy marten]

I believe it’s customary to drive your ATV into the water after collecting kills

Every time I’ve driven around the lake to get my kills

The ATV goes into the lake

[tiny kestrel]

Sacrifice to the water gods

[tiny kestrel]

Gotta say, if you’re doing an NEM grind for WT be prepared to move your tents around a lot

[cosmic gust]

that is what i dont like

so ig i wont do NEM

[tiny kestrel]

You gotta be prepared to do that with pretty much any grind

[wooden junco]

Trying to find my MIA red deer. I killed the zone and they havent spawned since on that lake or nearby lol.

[cosmic gust]

not red deer on ta 🥱

[full cave]

Yea

[tiny kestrel]

I had the same issue with my TA grind

I was adding and removing tents to my setup because stags would stop showing up at one spot and start showing up elsewhere

[cosmic gust]

well im doing just fine on mine so

[tiny kestrel]

How many kills are you at right now?

[cosmic gust]

havent been counting

i only have like 1.3k harvests total though so

700?

lets go with 650

had some fun on layton with whitetail and moose for a while

ill start counting at 650ish

[cosmic gust]

you know what im actually too lazy to count 🤣

ill get my trophies when i get them

[hard plank]

im at about 55 zones for whitetail on revontuli and my level 2 deer are not respawning nearly as muhc as they should. what do i do. ive only been shooting level 2 whitetail

[cosmic gust]

red deer #11

[sturdy marten]

Fr zero luck in the fallow grind recently

[full cave]

Same

But for WT

[tiny kestrel]

Same but for lions

[sturdy marten]

Rares are nowhere to be seen

And the diamond spawns have seemed to calm down

Hoping this means something big is coming

[full cave]

Lol

[sturdy marten]

?????

Biggest 4 I’ve ever seen

[tiny kestrel]

Thought that was a mela for a sec

[sturdy marten]

If only

Only need one more for the huddle

[iron valve]

I did a thing

[tiny kestrel]

Uh oh

[iron valve]

Oh don't worry it's nothing special

[sturdy marten]

Finally a diamond

#34 I think

Looks small

[sturdy marten]

Fallow Grind update before sleep
The big room is finally full
1200 something kills
33 Diamonds
4 Albinos
2 Melanistics
6 Piebalds

[wary mason]

@unkempt parcel I hope you get your GO buddy.

[full cave]

Not bad

[wary mason]

Big

[full cave]

Troll 😢

[somber turret]

Poor glenn

[drifting dirge]

how Meany kills are you people in on your moose grind? im about 850 kills

[full cave]

100

Ion grind moose much

[full cave]

Had a heart attack

Thought he was a GO cuz of how wonky his rack is

[half harbor]

when a mission says "down an animal from a hunting stand", does that mean only the pre-built stands or can you use a treestand/tripod too

[full cave]

Hunting stand I think

The ones you buy

[half harbor]

damn

[sturdy marten]

A 299-360 mule deer?

Hmmmm

[vocal ether]

Pretty sure it's the prebuilt ones. I don't think treestands and tripods count from what I've heard

[sturdy marten]

The elk one is hard

there’s like 2 spots you can do it and neither of them are good for elk

[half harbor]

yea im beginning to realize how much the devs oversighted these missions

maybe they were viable before all of the need zone changes

[vocal ether]

Yeah they made sense before but they've redistributed the pops a couple times

[half harbor]

i wonder if you get anything special in-game if you 100% all existing reserves? lol

if not, well idc, my completionist brain sees it as enough of a reward

[sturdy marten]

You should get a special gun skin for completing the Parque mission

The diamond collection one

[half harbor]

isnt it the regent magnum or something?

or is that a different one

[vocal ether]

You get one from that too? You already get two others from different Parque missions

[sturdy marten]

that’s like a big challenge though

the other ones are just objectives or tasks that you go and complete

Finding diamonds either requires luck or time

[vocal ether]

I just need a single player diamond blackbuck for that one. I have all the other diamonds

[tiny kestrel]

Me fr

[full cave]

fr

[tiny kestrel]

@full cave you grinding NEM for WT too?

[full cave]

I have been

For the past

Month or so

I’m like 800 kills in

[tiny kestrel]

I spent two days and got a GO this mf grinds for a month without any major trophies

RNG is a wild thing

[sturdy marten]

did you see poor zareh bg

bros got like 11k kills

Nothing

[full cave]

😭

I have 4 diamonds and a few rares tho

[cosmic gust]

where are whitetail on revontuli

just entire upper half or something

[tiny kestrel]

Upper 2/3 of the map

[full cave]

Yes

[cosmic gust]

im gonna work my way down the map

[cosmic gust]

blonde brown bear

im not taxing this, dont care enough about unc

[tiny kestrel]

I wanna get a blonde diamond brown bear one day

[cosmic gust]

would a diamond brown bear of an uncommon fur type be a super rare

because thats like... barely a rare fur type

[tiny kestrel]

Uncommon diamond

[cosmic gust]

i hate finding zones i hate finding zones i hate finding zones

i just wanna get a great one man

[tiny kestrel]

You should grind on NEM

Less zones to deal with, prettier scenery

[wooden junco]

Might end up doing BB and WT on NEM as I cant v
Be arsed setting up another 2 maps lol. Slowly giving up on my red deer but tryibg on cuatro for a week or 2 then might say screw it

Doesnt seem to be many red deer on Cuatro though

[grim spindle]

Why did I read that as a pun

[wary mason]

I fear I will need to do HM on Rev, I cannot be assed going to every lake🤣

I'm going to set it up today anyways so we shall see how it goes

[sturdy marten]

this is why I wish they would drop a mule deer or a fallow great one

I already know where to go for all the zones

[full cave]

Lots of zones yes

[full cave]

NEM

@tiny kestrel is this a different rack variant

For dime

[hazy valve]

Looks like typical? Correct me if I’m wrong.

[sturdy marten]

I think the tips are curved up a little

Idk all these diamond WT look the same to me

[full cave]

Lol

Broooo

MY MAP RESET

GOTTA SET UP AGAIN

Not how I wanted to spend my day

This shit sucks bro

[full night]

Gold 210.8

[full cave]

@tiny kestrel 😭

[tired mason]

what should i start a grind for

(not a g1)

[plain raptor]

Damn that’s rough

[plain raptor]

What do you like more, predators, antlers or horns?

[tired mason]

antlers

doing this to try and get gold rares/sr

[plain raptor]

Whitetail would be my first choice, but that’s overdone. Maybe elk?

[tired mason]

elk is good idea but i feel like something with a quicker kill might be easier

idk ima scroll through the species list or smth

[full cave]

I’ve lost 60 tents to this glitch

[tired mason]

same

[tiny kestrel]

How the hell did it get reset?

[tiny kestrel]

I’d say whitetail. I know you’re not looking to grind a great one species but whitetail have really good looking SRs. Who knows, you might get a great one along the way

[tired mason]

ive been grinding whitetail

[full cave]

Lost internet connection and it said I never owned the dlc maps

[tired mason]

im looking for an underated species that nobody grinds

[full cave]

So it reset the ownership ID and probably just gave it back when the game reminded itself I owned it

If that makes sense lmao

[tiny kestrel]

Species that nobody grinds hmm

[tired mason]

blacktail maybe

[plain raptor]

Chamois or blacktail

[tired mason]

they took away chamois drink zones

[tiny kestrel]

Springbok
Lesser Kudu
Blackbuck
Any pig species
Brown bear
Any cat species besides lion

[tired mason]

with revontuli update

[plain raptor]

Oh that’s right

Been a minute since I’ve played

[tired mason]

i used to grind chamois lol

actually got a sr chamois on xbox from grinding them

[plain raptor]

#bringbackchamoisdrinktime

[sturdy marten]

grind mule deer

they have good diamonds

[tiny kestrel]

Wow

I’m impressed

[tired mason]

i think i might do blacktail ig if i cant find anything better

[sturdy marten]

grind coyotes

[tiny kestrel]

Aw hell no

[plain raptor]

Justice for coyotes

[tired mason]

hmm maybe sika deer

[tiny kestrel]

Coyotes just refuse to give me a rare or diamond

[plain raptor]

I think I am going to grind blacktail when I get home. Haven’t played in a few months

[tired mason]

same

[tired mason]

well if your grinding blacktail then ima have to do sika

[tiny kestrel]

I’m tryna get a diamond or big rare blacktail for ProXCK’s comp but my map has already been completely searched for them

And I keep crashing in multiplayer

[plain raptor]

I might grind them. Depends on if I feel like it when I get home

[full night]

I wanna start helping people with rotations for their grind

So if anyone is looking for help lmk

[sturdy marten]

Sika Deer is an interesting grind

[plain raptor]

I need to resume my moose grind

Got to 296 before I got burnt out

[tiny kestrel]

I’ve been looking for a diamond sika for over a year now

Absolutely no luck so far

[full cave]

Same

[full cave]

3 hours later I’m done

[tiny kestrel]

watch it reset again tomorrow

[spark osprey]

I had an initial spawn sika diamond on TA

[rigid forge]

I’ve got two 😛

[sturdy marten]

gotta zoom and get my super rare in case they reset TA anytime soon

[wooden junco]

I fked up an initial chamois diamond the other day. Little 💩 decided jump right as I shot and got flesh I chased it for ages trying to get a saving shot but couldnt get at it due to the horrid terrain.

[wooden junco]

Dont all laugh at one lol.

[spark osprey]

Coulda main menu’d before it died

[wooden junco]

Thought that doesnt work anymore

Recall someone saying they may have changed that last update the other day

[tiny kestrel]

It still works

You just gotta make sure you do it before it dies otherwise the animal’s lost forever

[wooden junco]

I chased that SOB for ages falling down rock faces tryibg to save it 🤦‍♂️

Days off coming up gonna head into the mountains again try find any more.

[full cave]

I been playing for 2 months now, I have never a fabled animal or even a albino animal.

[short current]

97% of people more than likely

99% on fabled

[full cave]

I been playing 5 years

Lol

Have very few albinos

No GOs

[short current]

My point exactly

[full cave]

My friend has been playing for 2 weeks and already has a albino 14 point buck 💀

Bro is lucky

With how many cheats are out there

Everything is questionable to be honest

[full cave]

We play on ps4, there are no cheats for cotw on ps4

It kinda sucks, I tend to run out of money a lot

[fast ridge]

Difficult, but sadly not impossible.

[full cave]

There’s a way?

I tried to look it up so many times just so I can get a few bucks to buy ammo and tree stands.

[spark osprey]

Don’t hack

[fast ridge]

Also...Rule J #📜︴rules

[spark osprey]

Play the game like a normal person

[full cave]

I don’t, I’ve never have, I just hunt grizzly bears since I always get 1k or more

[full cave]

Ah ok.

😅

That's how everything bad starts

"A few bucks"

[full cave]

I just need a few, I have 5k but I want to be able to get 20x scent eliminators

[cosmic gust]

initial spawn piebald whitetail doe

pretty cool ig

[cosmic gust]

man

thought i got an initial spawn diamond

but no

has to be literally under a point off

[cosmic gust]

no fucking way

there is no way in hell

you have GOT to be kidding me

[tiny kestrel]

What an L

[cosmic gust]

im sobbing

how did a level 2 get closer to diamond than a troll

[tiny kestrel]

Cuz whitetail are silly geese

Is a leu male pheasant gonna be my next euro bison experience?

Seriously I can’t find a rare for the life of me

[cosmic gust]

9 LEGENDARY RACCOON DOG

ITS 150 OUT BUT I ONLY HAVE THE GLOCK

WHYYYY

[sturdy marten]

start crawling

[cosmic gust]

cross a river

stalking it now

[fast ridge]

find a zone he uses, then come back with a rifle that's cleared for him

[cosmic gust]

...

i... was following... a different 8-10kg track...

i found... a 8 mythical...

MAYBE I WASNT NEVERMIND

track stopped

i have his zone though

[cosmic gust]

can an 8 raccoon dog make diamond

[fast ridge]

Theoretically.

[cosmic gust]

but is it one of the ones where its realistically possible

[fast ridge]

No one knows.

[cosmic gust]

sigh

man i aint never seeing this thing again

unless i spend another 5 hours looking for it

[somber turret]

Hell there ain't enough water down there to spend 5 hours looking for it

Look at the 3 closest body of waters to where you seen it

[cosmic gust]

i saw it while searching for whitetail zones

i found its rest zone

[somber turret]

Where the hell did you see it at

There's only like two places I can think of that you would come across both unless it was really really far north then normal

[cosmic gust]

right around there

@somber turret you think its even worth searching for it over here or should i try finding its drink zone sometime

[somber turret]

If I find a Max level animal that I can't find rather quickly I almost immediately find its drink zone

Same with rares

[cosmic gust]

man 😭

i have no clue where raccoon dogs drink

[somber turret]

He's at that river or the lake below it

I would search the lake first just because it's easier

[cosmic gust]

could he be over there at the lake on the right

the larger one

[somber turret]

For how far that is i severely doubt it

He couldddddd be at the west lake along the eastern coast

But I say he's most likely along with that Creek or maybe the southern lake

[cosmic gust]

welp

how far should my tent be if im just using it to sleep and pass time

[somber turret]

300 m from the closest water source is what I do for changing time so it gives me time to walk down there and animals to get there

[cosmic gust]

good to know

tell you what ill leave this tent here and once i get all my whitetail zones, ill spend some time searching for him

...seriously hoping i find him

[tiny kestrel]

Got a decently large diamond today from the WT grind

[sturdy marten]

wanna find one more diamond before sleep

or a rare

Whichever comes first

[full cave]

Show

Lemme gues 273

[tiny kestrel]

266 iirc

[full cave]

Nice

[tiny kestrel]

He was a wonker

[full cave]

I got a huge level 2

But

He was not dime

252 or something

Bottom of the est 😭

[tiny kestrel]

I think my biggest lvl 2 was 261.38

Love it when males completely disappear from a herd (I do not)

Another level 3 yay

[full cave]

Nice

I’m having difficulty with my deer showing up

Their drink times are weird

I’m like 800 in

[tiny kestrel]

It’s a troll unfortunately

Btw the river on the bottom left of the map extending from that big lake has like 3 zones along it

[full cave]

The Big Dipper?

@tiny kestrel

[fast ridge]

I call that one Brain Lake

[full cave]

Lol

[tiny kestrel]

Mhm

I forgot the name lol

[sturdy marten]

Woah

Level 8 black bear

[full cave]

I’ll check the river tomorrow

[sturdy marten]

22.25

[full cave]

Nice

[spark osprey]

I have a level 8 brown bear somewhere on my map

I didn’t even bother with chasing it down

[cosmic gust]

i have a level 8 lynx, and a level 8 and 9 raccoon dog

I FOUND HIM

@somber turret

[somber turret]

That's a scary est

I hope he makes it

[cosmic gust]

yeah me too 😭

i got under 1 point off diamond on a level 2 white tail

then trolled by 2ish points by a level 3

if this one trolls too

i dunno man

[somber turret]

He should

[cosmic gust]

uh oh he dropped pretty slow

maybe its because .243 but

im nervous

damn it!!! no organs hit

i swear

[somber turret]

Oh god Belly

The 243 plants those things almost everywhere

I hope you at least barely just nicked something

[cosmic gust]

HE WAS

AND I BOTCHED IT

😭

[somber turret]

Stomach or intestines?

[cosmic gust]

tail

no organs

[somber turret]

Did you try to shoot the damn thing as it was running

How

[cosmic gust]

i have absolutely no idea

[somber turret]

If it makes you feel any better I messed up my only trophy coon dog

DID YOU SHOT IT FROM THE ASS?

[cosmic gust]

i couldnt see anything

look at what i was shooting at

[somber turret]

Don't take shots unless the animal is standing from now on

[full cave]

💀

[somber turret]

Welp at least you have a really really impressive gold

[cosmic gust]

botching builds character

besides its still a diamond

just a botched one

[full cave]

True lol

[somber turret]

||gold||

[cosmic gust]

shut up

let me consume my copium

[somber turret]

No I need to make sure I help that building character

[cosmic gust]

😭

[somber turret]

Also does that mean I don't have much character since I only have three messed up

But one of them i still think and hate myself to this day for

[rigid forge]

@iron valve

[cosmic gust]

has he been trolled by raccoon dogs before

[rigid forge]

he has a 10-scoring gold raccoon dog

i think you can guess what happened

[cosmic gust]

😭

id cry if i botched a max weight like that

[sturdy marten]

👹

what inspired you to take this shot

[cosmic gust]

@sturdy marten this

thought i was looking at the head, so i aimed a little back to hit the lungs

[somber turret]

What sad you would have still hit the skull if that shot was reversed

[cosmic gust]

there was no universe in which i make that shot

what the hell 😭

[severe pike]

Anyone play ps4m

[rigid forge]

#🦌︴find-a-game

[severe pike]

I seen I'm sorry

[tiny kestrel]

Hey don’t feel bad for yourself

Atleast it ain’t “I fucked up a super rare” levels of bad

[cosmic gust]

jesus

see i was right botching builds character

[tiny kestrel]

I would’ve gotten that second shot in the fucker didn’t turn his dumb face

It’s a true shame but hey, it only taught me to be patient

Just waiting for the moment Cash shows up

[somber turret]

Shhhhhhhh

[cosmic gust]

i found all my zones

mostly

[tiny kestrel]

Wonker

[full cave]

Dang

Imagine sleeping

The grind never stops

[full cave]

Real

[tired mason]

😭

I feel bad for ya

[pliant oak]

hows the grinding going all ?

anything good ?

[spark osprey]

No 😭

[cosmic gust]

no

[spark osprey]

One diamond today tho

[pliant oak]

well thats good

[spark osprey]

I’m stacking it bcs I need to upgrade my HM a bit

It’s the typical diamond rack

[cosmic gust]

[spark osprey]

Man quit making me cringe 😭

[spark osprey]

[spark osprey]

Ope

[brave mango]

[static igloo]

I cant tell because of the fog but i think i just shot an albino 9 legendary

HOLY SHOOT

it was

Its diamond

[cosmic gust]

grahhh i want a diamond whitetail

both of my big whitetails were like barely not diamond

[tiny kestrel]

Hey guys how you doing I just found this white deer thing and it says fabled what does that mean

Is that rare

God my mental state continues degrading each time I open up this game

[full cave]

Hey guys how you doing I just found this white deer thing and it says fabled what does that mean

Is that rare

[tiny kestrel]

I see you’re doing equally as bad

[spark osprey]

ghjjvj

[rain wagon]

Hey guys how you doing I just found this white deer thing and it says fabled what does that mean

[spark osprey]

Is that rare

[tiny kestrel]

That’s awesome what if I stabbed you to death

[rain wagon]

I prolly wouldn’t care

[cosmic gust]

Hey guys how you doing I just found this white deer thing and it says fabled what does that mean

Is that rare

[full cave]

I am 1K in now

[cosmic gust]

i'm about to start my whitetail grind

found all my zones on rev

just gotta get tents and tripods and whatnot

[tiny kestrel]

Back to lions for a bit

Maybe I’ll get lucky today

[fast ridge]

...welp

downside of new phone

I no longer have my counters

[tiny kestrel]

Sad

Do you still have your old one?

[fast ridge]

thankfully yes

[tiny kestrel]

Sucks but you’ve gotta manually copy everything onto your new phone

What’s irked me is all these counters don’t transfer data from one device to another

[fast ridge]

thankfully it just meant tapping the screen a bunch of times

but yeah that's a 😩

[tiny kestrel]

Which app are you using?

[fast ridge]

Thing Counter

[tiny kestrel]

Send an SS I forgot the name of mine

I just know the one I’m using you can manually enter a number in

[fast ridge]

...first I have to figure out how to take screenshots with this phone

went from a Motorola to a Samsung so it's a bit of a learning curve

[tiny kestrel]

Oh lol

I’ve been using IPhone since forever

[fast ridge]

so Thing Counter looks like this

...wow this phone actually doesn't throw a fit when I try uploading things to Discord from it. Neat.

[sturdy marten]

aptly named

[spark osprey]

Diamonds?

[fast ridge]

Total of male animals downed

the moose and black bear grinds are more casual

[ashen depot]

Is that a app?

[fast ridge]

Yeah

[ashen depot]

Can you get that please

@fast ridge

[fast ridge]

Just look it up in the Google Play Store

...if you're on iPhone, Apple may or may not have it

[ashen depot]

Yeah I have a iPhone

Oof

What the name?? @fast ridge

[fast ridge]

Thing Counter

[ashen depot]

Thank you you the best

Have a wonderful night @fast ridge 😊

[somber turret]

So many pings

[sturdy marten]

@somber turret

So many pings +1

[tiny kestrel]

I think whenever I return to red deer ima just set up on my 8 best zones and grind from there

[sturdy marten]

Another two diamonds

we reaching 50 very soon

think this ones a narrow rack

might be super small

[spark osprey]

@somber turret

+1

[spare grail]

Also made the switch from Moto to Samsung. Regret, miss my old phone. Very dislike this

This one's pretty much at the end of its life though so I'll probably get another moto

[somber turret]

Giggles in currently using a Motorola

[fast ridge]

I honestly had issue after issue after issue with the old phone

[somber turret]

The only real issues I've had is signal being stupid

There's been too many times I've had to use my brother's hotspot because mine was being dumb with both of us standing in the same spot on the exact same plan except he's using one of the older Google pixels

[fast ridge]

that was one of my issues

the real issue that made me decide it was time for a new one was the fact that I was suddenly getting nothing but "network congested, contact service provider" errors whenever I tried to make a call. I was the only one having that issue.

Then I looked at my call history, and saw that I had NOTHING since December for anything incoming. And I get at least two telemarketers per week, so 🙃

...anyways

[tiny kestrel]

And you yell at us for going off topic >:(

[fast ridge]

if Vurhonga does eventually get a GO, idk why but I feel like it'll be springbok first

[tiny kestrel]

Tbh I don’t think so

[fast ridge]

this channel can be off-topic sometimes. As a treat.

[tiny kestrel]

Barely anyone hunts them, not that popular compared to other species on the map and they don’t have a drink time

[fast ridge]

Which is exactly why I think it'll be them.

them not having a drink time means it'll be a Challenge

[tiny kestrel]

What could they even do for a GO springbok

[fast ridge]

yeah that's the question. Which honestly applies to a lot of animals.

[tiny kestrel]

With antlered animals it’s decently easy; unique fur type/s, slight model change and non typical racks that may or may not be huge

[fast ridge]

so kudu-like horns or maybe even a broken horn

[tiny kestrel]

Mfs when they find out the GO springbok scores 2/3 of what a diamond does because it’s missing a horn

[somber turret]

Scrub hare as a all new all hare and rabbit species go

We are hunting jackalopes in Africa now

[fast ridge]

😂

heck maybe one overgrown horn

...speaking of springbok, how big do females get? I'm looking at a L3 one rn

[tiny kestrel]

Lvl 3

I can’t remember what their max score is

[fast ridge]

I keep having to remind myself that it's actually safe to walk around most of Vurhonga now without having to worry about murder buffalo

[sturdy marten]

springbok are the “I saw one randomly so I shot it” animal for me

Never actually pursued springbok

[fast ridge]

ngl I am very glad I managed to get a max weight diamond before they got TruRacs

[somber turret]

I really wish I would have gotten a diamond kudu

[fast ridge]

same 😔

I got a mela at least

[somber turret]

I managed to get a level 4 that was a point and a half from diamond and a red Brown female

[sturdy marten]

man I gotta find something to grind next

you guys got any recommendations

that isn’t whitetail or red deer

[fast ridge]

axis deer

[somber turret]

Widgeon or GoldenEye

Or mule deer

Or Eastern turkeys

[fast ridge]

or if you want something non-deer, pick a fox 😈

[somber turret]

Get a leu

[sturdy marten]

fox might be interesting

strangely considering doing that

Is there a best map for those

[somber turret]

Gray fox leu turkey grind on Mississippi

:>

And then just see how many times people call you insane

[fast ridge]

I'm already expecting people to call me insane when I try to do a red fox grind on Hirsch

[somber turret]

This

THIS

[sturdy marten]

oh boy

you wanna see how much of hirsch I’ve explored so far

[somber turret]

But damn LC did it so they can't say much to you or was he on the kon

[sturdy marten]

That’s my Hirschfelden

[fast ridge]

Hirsch is a good map once you learn how to hunt it

[somber turret]

This map is mine now

[sturdy marten]

I have a leucistic merriam

I have a light brown diamond

I have a regular diamond

[fast ridge]

I've got a female melanistic Eastern turkey

first one to ever be posted in the server, actually

[sturdy marten]

maybe I’ll put all the animals into a random wheel spinner

And do it that way

[somber turret]

That holds nothing to be amazingness that the easterns look like

[sturdy marten]

I also shot it with the 300

[somber turret]

Like imo easterns are the best leus in game in my opinion

[sturdy marten]

I almost want to grind something with a great one

But all of those animals bore me out of my mind to hunt

[somber turret]

Red deer killed me I can't get the motivation to do any of them

[sturdy marten]

those diamonds are really unimpressive to me

And the great one is my least favorite

[somber turret]

Rare and minimum hunting was the only thing he didn't motivated

[sturdy marten]

feel like everyone has a whitetail great one at this point

[fast ridge]

TIL Vurhonga does in fact have at least one hunting stand

[sturdy marten]

the black bear great ones are decent looking but I’m not interested in doing that grind

moose great one looks nice but moose hunting is boring

I could potentially do fox if I figured it out

[somber turret]

God imagine if they put red foxes on ta

Just one day

[sturdy marten]

Gonna be an adjustment going from fallow to another animal

fallow are literally at like 4 lakes

[somber turret]

And the coast and the river

[fast ridge]

doesn't look like they're there IRL so I doubt it

[somber turret]

Wait red foxes?

I literally just read that they are unless I read something wrong

[fast ridge]

Yeah there was a pair of foxes that got loose, but they failed to establish

HELLO

[somber turret]

dim boung boi

[fast ridge]

...and that's one for the Hall Of Trolls.

[sturdy marten]

ok hear me out

coyote grind

[somber turret]

Jackal

[sturdy marten]

I’d rather stick toothpicks under my fingernails

I’ve had Vurhonga for years

[somber turret]

Be the Chad everybody will remember forever

[sturdy marten]

probably shot 3 jackal

Well

That’s a strange one

[somber turret]

Lmao

[sturdy marten]

Maybe I’ll do process of elimination

[somber turret]

Goal get one of every rare

[sturdy marten]

Euro Bison is gone

Raccoon Dog is out

Puma out

No more white jackrabbit

[somber turret]

Lol

[sturdy marten]

Blacktail is gone

that might have been a good one

Wild Boar

Bobwhite Quail

Black Grouse

Sika Deer

Gredos

And Ronda

Antelope Jackrabbit

Brown Bear

Rock Ptarmigan

Euro Rabbit

Mouflon

And just like that

There goes the Eurasian Lynx

Moderators tell me to shut up when necessary

Bighorn

[sturdy marten]

There is still hope for the turkeys

Rio Grande and Merriam are still on

Pheasant

Whitetail have left the building

Grizzly Bear

Jackal are gone sadly

Capercaillie

Gray Fox

RME

[tiny kestrel]

Wtf are you doing

[sturdy marten]

random wheel spinner

to determine my next grind

[tiny kestrel]

Like

Manually?

Or?

[sturdy marten]

yeah I’m doing process of elimination

Taking out one each time

[wooden junco]

Grind terror raptor chickens

[sturdy marten]

it’s getting down to just a few left

[cosmic gust]

so for uhhh

whitetail on revontuli

do i first set up around my bad zones to get those down to 1s

then set up around my good zones

[sturdy marten]

Well

Cape Buffalo is gone

Yeah that works

[tiny kestrel]

Wow that’s gonna fucking suck

[sturdy marten]

83 animals

And that one won

[cosmic gust]

okay im. not setting up for whitetail

im not that tired of te awaroa yet

i still have to get... a few more things

[somber turret]

mini elk

[wooden junco]

FFS back down to 30fps today

[sturdy marten]

you know I’m kinda glad it wasn’t coyote thinking now

I’m not a big night hunter

[full cave]

🪦

All my maps got reset

Lmaooo

Layton, Yukon, Revon, MedVed

NEM

I just reset up

I have like 20 hours of setting up to do again

[sturdy marten]

Might just start setting up this red fox grind while still doing fallow

It would definitely help me with the respawns for fallow

I have to pick a map though

Where will my torture begin

[fast ridge]

well, if you want to do red fox and fallow at the same time, only map with both is Hirsch.

[sturdy marten]

no I’ll just keep the fallow on TA and do the red fox somewhere else

Because I’ve found that the only way I can get fallow respawns quickly is to kill things on another map

[tiny kestrel]

I called it

[sturdy marten]

I might have to go Yukon

Or I mean I guess I could do New England

[fast ridge]

NEM might be easier

that's the one map where they aren't all over the...well, map.

[tiny kestrel]

At least on NEM they’re more restricted

[sturdy marten]

Anyone got a map for it?

[fast ridge]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1072235078345826334/1072235079918690405/NE_red_fox_map.png?width=802&height=670

[fast ridge]

jinx

[sturdy marten]

got my work cut out for me I suppose

Where is the starting outpost?

I’ve literally never even opened that map

[fast ridge]

you'll have a bit of walking/ATV'ing to do

[sturdy marten]

this one’s gonna take quite of bit of fallow killing to afford

[somber turret]

dew the story

[cosmic gust]

man 😭

i have to set up on my bad zones to get them down to 1s right

man you know what i am not going to hunt whitetail rn

[tiny kestrel]

L

[cosmic gust]

you know what. out of spite. im going to search my vurhonga. for a lion sr.

[tiny kestrel]

Dude ion want an SR lion unless I get an SR Cape immediately after

[cosmic gust]

Hey guys how you doing I just found this white cat thing and it says legendary what does that mean

[cosmic gust]

THERE IS CONFIRMED A 5 SPRINGBOK ON MY MAP

POSSIBLY A SECOND

I WAS TRACKING THE 5 AND FOUND A DIFFERENT MAX WEIGHT TRACK.

[tiny kestrel]

Ooh nice

[rugged cloud]

What does SR mean?

[cosmic gust]

rare fur type + diamond

[rugged cloud]

Oh so super rare

Alr lol

[cosmic gust]

im gonna find these springbok later

if i stumble upon them, i have my .243

[fast ridge]

I wish you luck in that he does not troll

[cosmic gust]

if he does, i have another max weight est that may or may not troll

dunno

i have the rest zone for the second one

and i know the general area for the first one

so maybe ill just find them

[tiny kestrel]

Can my bucks please stop disappearing from my zones 🙏

[cosmic gust]

no ❤️

ow i moved something in my elbow cracking it

it uncomfy

[tiny kestrel]

I wonder how Mel has been. She hasn’t been here in a good while

[cosmic gust]

just saw a massive level 4 gemsbok

nevermind its not even diamond potential

if i saw the score correctly before it ran off high estimate of 327

[cosmic gust]

saw a level 5 male gemsbok running away 😭

good to know i have nice things on my map though

also shot a level 4 wildebeast that was a point under diamond

[pearl lily]

I can feel the pain

[cosmic gust]

my vurhonga is actually hella stacked rn

saw a level 3 teal flying over too

high estimate 935

[pearl lily]

Ok

I haven’t played vurghuona in a while

Just played layton tho

#🦌︴trophies is my best shot of the day

[cosmic gust]

oh wow nice

my first diamond was a rosie

394.2 iirc

[pearl lily]

A diamond roosvelt elk 1st one on Layton

[pearl lily]

Nice

I was viewing that dude from like 340m? away

Took a bit of time to get closer

[acoustic cedar]

I’ve been watching, waiting for the moment I feel ready to sell my soul again 😭

[wooden junco]

Uh oh Hey Mel wondered if you were ok

[north nova]

I spy a wild Mel! Howdy! Hope life's been good to you.

[rigid forge]

what soul?

[spice crater]

If anyone shoots a GO and tags me i’ll re-download the hunter and grind

[full cave]

I saw two diamond brown bears yesterday, but they kicked me out of those servers😭😭

[acoustic cedar]

Good question

[acoustic cedar]

Hey hey! It’s been interesting lol but I’m good! Hope you are too!

[acoustic cedar]

I’m good thank you!

[north nova]

Fair enough. Doing okay, feeling a bit under the weather atm.

[acoustic cedar]

Oh I hope you feel better soon!

[iron valve]

Oh Hai it's everyone's favorite cod ytber

[north nova]

thanks! Munching some butter crackers and chilling

[pliant oak]

hows the hunting going all ?

[spark osprey]

Trying to HM my moose because I can’t really grind them, already seeing a lot of lvl 4 respawns 👍

[pliant oak]

nice when you see loads of 2s and 4s you doing well

[spark osprey]

Yeah

Me when I see a lvl 3:

[full cave]

Did you get the GO moose yet? Really random but I’m curious

[acoustic cedar]

Nope, been on a break for a couple weeks. 7.5k took it out of me lol

[full cave]

Dang… That’s so unlucky. Hopefully when you return you have better luck! I’ve also been away from CoTW and just gaming in general, busy busy busy

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you so much! Probably gonna start it up again with the next update, and probably on Yukon I think! Ahh that sucks

[full cave]

I saw the .308 on Tuesday and I’m really hoping this is a big game rifle pack. That would definitely be awesome for everyone moose grinding right now

[tiny kestrel]

Were you around when I started up my lion grind?

I’ve been having such shit luck. No gold rares in over 1k kills

[full cave]

Considering that all of the lion rares are on the level of albino/mela rares and none are piebald level, that isn’t as bad as it could get, hope you get your rare gold soon tho

[tiny kestrel]

Tryna get an all albino breadwinner mount sucks. Especially once I get to grinding Cape buffalo

[plain raptor]

I got an albino male lion, gold, before I ever got a diamond

Come to think of it, I never did get a diamond

[sturdy marten]

I got two diamonds at the same lake and I haven’t hunted lions since

[plain raptor]

I am not eager about hunting lions since the spook range got upped

I’ll get to them eventually though. Need that diamond for my lodge

[tiny kestrel]

They still freeze upon spooking

They’re hella easy to grind

[acoustic cedar]

Oh goodness!

[acoustic cedar]

That’s what I’m hoping for!

[tiny kestrel]

Also, 300 kills in on NEM

[plain raptor]

Even in SP?

[tiny kestrel]

Mhm

It’s effortless

[acoustic cedar]

Holy congratulations

[pliant oak]

congrats !

[plain raptor]

Congrats, Oli

That’s some luck right there

God, I miss this game

I really need to get back to it

[full cave]

AGAIN?

Congrats bro that’s wild

[full cave]

Didn’t you get your first at 134

[iron valve]

Giv

[tiny kestrel]

No that’s my first one

303 kills

[full cave]

Wow

Why does PlayStation have better luck 💀

[full cave]

Just hit 1.1K into the grind

Taking a break for now

[tiny kestrel]

Look at this deer I just shot

It’s stupid and white and I don’t like it I’m not even gonna tax it

[rigid forge]

🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿

[tiny kestrel]

Lmao

Could you imagine being the first mf to find and shoot a dia bino quail?

[full cave]

🗿

[tiny kestrel]

🗿🗿🗿

[full cave]

How rare is drop tine rack

Is that drop tine aswell as albino lol

[tiny kestrel]

It’s one of the less common ones

I’d say 3rd or 4th rarest

Cluster rack and big rack are the two most common

[full cave]

I’ve seen 2 whitetail GO with rare furtypes and both are droptine

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah it seems to be a trend

[tiny kestrel]

Also the one mela GO whitetail that’s supposedly legit also had it iirc

[full cave]

Is there a ss

Furtype is fabled piebald I wonder if there fur-types like moose

[tiny kestrel]

@sturdy marten you had one right?

[full cave]

This is clearly not a typical piebald

Possibly made exclusively for the WT GO?

[tiny kestrel]

Yeah

Fabled piebald is the GO variation of the piebald fur type

There’s theories that it was supposed to be the Fabled Spotted equivalent for the whitetail GO but the spawn rate is bugged out

[full cave]

Def

I wish all maps would have a great one spawn anyways

Just one

Of any animal

[tiny kestrel]

Pissing Cash off rn

[fast ridge]

💀

[tiny kestrel]

It’s okay I’m actually just LC’s backup account that I use to look like I’m away

Watch, I’ll log onto my LC main account and say hi

[abstract atlas]

Hi

[tiny kestrel]

See?

[rigid forge]

💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[full cave]

Very thirsty

[steel mulch]

Very confused

This is an actual thing?

[pliant oak]

no way of telling

cant prove whats legit what isnt

hopefully in the future something can be done

[fast ridge]

codex goes a long way in proving legitimacy

[pliant oak]

not really

someone just shoots 20 deer

then makes out its legit

[fast ridge]

but unfortunately, if it's PC, there's always going to be some doubt

[pliant oak]

and console

[fast ridge]

can only hope COTW 2 has a robust anti-cheat system

[pliant oak]

ive put forward a few ideas which seem simple and would stop a lot of it

[plain raptor]

I hereby declare anyone who is proven to be cheating must cut off their thumb

[tiny kestrel]

I mean, from what they’ve shown we haven’t seen any signs of cheating or modding. Nothing suspicious yet

[acoustic cedar]

I think the question may have been are fabled piebalds a thing more than is that one legit

[acoustic cedar]

Yes fabled piebald is an actual variant for great one whitetail, however no confirmed legit ones have ever been shot

[rigid forge]

one was shot a week or two ago

[acoustic cedar]

Oh really? Seems all legit?

[rigid forge]

yeah this one was posted in crow's server

[acoustic cedar]

Interesting

[rugged cloud]

COTW 2??

[fast ridge]

long way off

[rigid forge]

loooooooooooooooooooooong way off

[plain raptor]

But it’s going to be a thing confirmed?

[fast ridge]

though if this hacking issue gets worse than it already has, I'd imagine people would start pushing for it more

[rigid forge]

not to my knowledge

[plain raptor]

Ah, so it may never happen

[fast ridge]

it might if enough people push for it

hacking is honestly destroying the community

no one trusts anyone anymore because they can't

[pliant oak]

they are a thing but we cant prove whats legit

[acoustic cedar]

That’s basically it yes

[pliant oak]

which is kinda annoying

[acoustic cedar]

It’s very annoying

[pliant oak]

it would be nice if codex showed all your kills. also make it so your files only work with your game

this would stop 90 percent of cheating

[fast ridge]

that would probably involve an extensive coding rewrite

just because something seems simple doesn't mean it actually is simple

[pliant oak]

not really

making peoples files only work with their game wouldnt be that much work

would stop duping

we can go to the moon so i believe it can be done

it maybe hard but i think it could be done

[acoustic cedar]

Yes the technology is there but it’s whether it’s worth it for the devs to do

[pliant oak]

this is often the real case

[acoustic cedar]

To them

Money wise

[plain raptor]

They don’t have a very big team either

[acoustic cedar]

Obviously it’s worth it to stop cheating but yeah

Exactly

[pliant oak]

yeah so do you commit resources to that or new content or fixes

or the other option of third party group

or stick all data on a server but that means server costs

[fast ridge]

problem with a server would be hacked files getting back to said server

[sturdy marten]

one of what

[pliant oak]

dont match your game dont work

[fast ridge]

honestly I think it'd be more likely to see multiplayer being shut down altogether before anything

it already seems to be becoming more and more unstable with each big update, and it would eliminate the traders altogether

[acoustic cedar]

Make spawns random too. Like properly random.

[sturdy marten]

wait no I know what he meant

[pliant oak]

you just make your pop file only work with your game. if its tied no duping

would literally stop so much cheating

[sturdy marten]

there we go

That’s everything I’ve ever seen

I’m not putting the Melanistic on there because it’s 100% hacked

[steel mulch]

How do these people do this?

Is rare enough to get the great one but a rare great one?

[sturdy marten]

The two moose are a fur type bug

[steel mulch]

Yea I saw that

[sturdy marten]

The bottom left albino is from LC

[steel mulch]

What’s that

[sturdy marten]

a member of this server

was confirmed to be legitimate

[steel mulch]

Ah ok

[sturdy marten]

I have heard that the top left was legitimate but there is no way I can determine that

couldn’t tell you a single thing about that red deer

[steel mulch]

If I get a great one it’ll have to be from a server I don’t really wanna grind

[full cave]

I hate how GO initial spawns are literally impossible

I feel like every map should have one when you start

Like Layton

But you don’t know what animal is the GO till you find it

[steel mulch]

That would be pretty cool

[plain raptor]

Initial spawns make it too easy

Imo, there should be none, because having a GO without putting forth the work defeats the purpose

[tiny kestrel]

Oh how I wish I could hammer in this message to people saying “we should get GOs as mission rewards” or “GO spawn rate should be like 1/100”

[sturdy marten]

Grinding somehow takes the fun out of them for me

But I know that’s the only way I’ll get one

[full cave]

Same

I’m taking a break from the grind it’s been 4 weeks

Hours and hours each day

Thousands of kills

Not to mention the map resets

[sturdy marten]

Think it would be more cool to just come across one

[pliant oak]

i think non typicals could bridge the gap nicely

just make them one below great ones

like a new trophy type

[tiny kestrel]

Maybe have non typicals be an uncommon occurrence within any level but it isn’t GO levels of rare

[cosmic gust]

i think that could be cool

if they're present within any level though i dunno

rare furs are already the constant rare possibility
