#14

[normal rose]

My mocha moose has that rack lol

[hidden pagoda]

@rigid forge

he's still upset at the corpse of the lynx

[willow dirge]

How many 2s do i need to effectively hm and how many zones? Im using medved

[hidden pagoda]

trolllll

[hidden pagoda]

I have like 20-30 I believe

[willow dirge]

you using hm?

[hidden pagoda]

yeah

[willow dirge]

also can you post a pic of you set up for moose? I want to be sure i have most of my zones.

i know our zones wont be the same but i can get a general idea

[hidden pagoda]

my set up?

it's a little messy cuz I still have some tripods from the lynx grind chilling

[hidden pagoda]

dia potench in the same spot next run

close

[hidden pagoda]

oh yeah that's gonna be another 280s no brow

yup

[alpine slate]

oh my god

its perfect

[hidden pagoda]

I accidentally fucked a zone up so I wiped it and it made the setup better 😭

[hidden pagoda]

mmm more 5

[hidden pagoda]

back to back zones

very glad they weren't one animal

[normal rose]

Theres a charm to that small rack albino somehow

I actually love it

[hidden pagoda]

yeh that's kinda fair

[ivory pond]

Smol

How did you get your medved to even respawn again I thought it broke

Like twice

[hidden pagoda]

went around shooting a male in zones of 4 and they moved to my shooter zones and stayed there

[ivory pond]

Weird

[hidden pagoda]

and got the double male zones of 3 down to 1 male

cuz moose respawns are ✨weird✨

[ivory pond]

I dont get how moose can be so consistent than the respawns just dip

I rlly hope my NE doesnt break after 7k kills

[ionic token]

Can I leave the 5s red deer solo spots?

[hidden pagoda]

yeah

generally smaller 5s are fine

just like how small 3s for moose and fallow are fine

[teal viper]

hello

[hidden pagoda]

mmmmmm

[hidden pagoda]

that one trolled so let's try again

yep

[ionic token]

and?

[hidden pagoda]

hm?

[pliant oak]

number 11 of 3rd grind

[pliant oak]

number 241

[plain raptor]

Someone stop this man

[pliant oak]

number 12

[pliant oak]

haha when the next GO or when a super rare red spawns i will stop

🤣

[hidden pagoda]

mmmmm

I love no brow rack sm

oh he wide wide

maybe not wide wide lol

[pliant oak]

number 13

big boy

[hidden pagoda]

woooo 4000 moose

(this is not a celebratory moment I am in mental agony)

[pliant oak]

treat each land mark as progression

😉

[hidden pagoda]

unga

[alpine slate]

TROOOOOOLLLL

[ivory pond]

Wait you HMing?

[willow dirge]

fucken love albino moose dude, they look amazing

[teal viper]

i've only seen one

but they look fan fucken tastic

[willow dirge]

i know, like i think its just shading which really shows how muscular moose are, and its just the perfect color of white compared to other albinos, and the lack of pink really makes it look amazing

[teal viper]

agreed with everything you just said

[rancid trench]

Irl albino moose

[tiny kestrel]

Looks leucistic based on the eyes

Unless the images aren’t conveying the red really well

[solar wing]

Albino deer usually have pink velvets

But I'm also not an expert

[clever eagle]

Bet he wouldnt even make gold

[willow dirge]

why are the antlers white?

[tiny kestrel]

They’ve still got the velvet on them

[willow dirge]

oh right so when the velvet sheds its the normal color?

[tiny kestrel]

I believe so

[normal rose]

https://tenor.com/view/moose-albino-white-meanwhile-in-gif-14400459

Forgot gifs dont embed

Cow

[tiny kestrel]

That’s definitely a leucistic

[normal rose]

So is this one

IS THIS MOCHA????

[plain raptor]

Mocha is my favorite fur

[hidden pagoda]

yeah lol

I got 2 level 1s chillin on my map

[ivory pond]

L Moose HM

[hidden pagoda]

lmao

[ivory pond]

Falbed birch

[hidden pagoda]

it's the only way they'll respawn for me so

[ivory pond]

L medved

Nah frl tho moose confuse me

[hidden pagoda]

bruh

I can't make a funny snarky joke about a friend

[ivory pond]

Im confused on what that means

[hidden pagoda]

guh

damn near 290

oh another

yuh

[edgy tree]

Down goes another

[hidden pagoda]

another dia rack 4

close

see this is why I like medved,

mmmm beloved triple zone setup

[untold knot]

I liked medved until nothing would respawn for me

[hidden pagoda]

yeah when that happens you gotta go smack moose out of other zones

same thing happens on every other map

same fix

[untold knot]

Ya I did that and it only temporarily fixed it

I’ve killed 856 moose on rev and it hasn’t happened yet so fingers crossed

[hidden pagoda]

ah

[untold knot]

It’s annoying for hm

[hidden pagoda]

yeah I'm 4k deep into medved

[untold knot]

Cuz you hm them then they break then you slaughter your work

[hidden pagoda]

not really

I have a couple of ones and a lot of small 2s so there's some 4s and medium 3s chillin

still don't get any 2s in my shooter zones

[ivory pond]

L rev

Parque better

[plain raptor]

Bold opinion

I respect it

[somber turret]

That's my top 2 maps :(

[plain raptor]

Parque?

I guess I can’t judge. I am doing a red fox grind on NEM and loving it

[hidden pagoda]

mmmmmm today feels good

[hidden pagoda]

👀

[plain raptor]

👀

[tiny kestrel]

Emerald coast is just objectively better for red fox but cool

[plain raptor]

My spawns don’t disappear on me so NEM is better

EC sucks

[wooden junco]

No luck today havent got a single dime bear compared to the other day they were constant

[hidden pagoda]

EC is good but I don't think I'd wanna grind fox on it

[wooden junco]

Got a diamond big horn sheep whilst relieving HP so that I guess is ok

[plain raptor]

My luck is 10 times better on NEM than EC. All spawns don’t move and I have several zones where there are four foxes

[hidden pagoda]

yuck

[somber turret]

Parque no.1 rev no.2

[hidden pagoda]

4100 moose.

[normal rose]

I love NEM, gorgeous map

that being said i havent rlly gotten anything really notable yet other than a minimum weight moose

a lot of the animals tend to be the second highest weight estimate and would just be gold but the ones that do have the max weight estimate tend to be a lvl below max (lvl 8 bobcat or lvl 4 moose)

but maybe i'll have some good luck once i actually grind there

dont know what the hell i'll grind but i'll grind somethin

i see a lot of lvl 4 moose tbh...

[ivory pond]

Dont dis on that rack

[ivory pond]

Very respectable opinion

[hidden pagoda]

it sucks ass and I will continue to diss that ugly ass rack

I'd rather get a super troll than an sr with that rack

[ivory pond]

I hope you only get those racks

This one tho… my favorite

[hidden pagoda]

well yuh that's big rack

I love the big ass no brow

like goddamn that width

[solar wing]

This is one of the best racks I've gotten

Why are the tines so loooong

[hidden pagoda]

oooh the funky truracs stuff

[hidden pagoda]

mmmmbigrack

that's another max weight

[ivory pond]

Have you ever seen one as small as that one i posted a bit ago tho?

[hidden pagoda]

the 291?

[ivory pond]

Ye

[hidden pagoda]

nah I haven't

[ivory pond]

Its the first ive seen below 297

[hidden pagoda]

smallest I've gotten is 299

they've all been 299, 300, and the one 301

[ivory pond]

Most of mine are 299

[hidden pagoda]

yeah same

[hidden pagoda]

huh consistent 20 kill increments

[wary mason]

Eo

[hidden pagoda]

it's funny seeing a 5 and a 1 next to eachother

[wary mason]

Schmoll

[plain raptor]

It is so pretty. One of my top maps for sure for that reason alone

Don’t get me wrong. EC is great, but I prefer Layton, NEM, and Yukon over that map

And the main mission ended so poorly. Omg there’s an aggressive crocodile on the loose! Oh well, have a nice day, friend. Like what? I was so disappointed

[proud garden]

Anyone else 3k+ kills into fallow with no GO? Lol

[pliant oak]

my last one was a long one about that sorta kills

just how it goes sometimes

[proud garden]

After a 5k moose grind I’m pretty much numb to grinding lol, hopefully it shows soon!

[plain raptor]

I get tired after 1000 kills

That’s basically where my fallow grind left off

[pliant oak]

number 14 and a big boy

[pliant oak]

number 242

[pliant oak]

number 15

[magic hatch]

You guys think I should lower how many animals I’m grinding? Atm I’m grinding Fallow, Moose, Collard Peccary, and Whitetail. Idk if I’m pushing it.

[tame lark]

Grind however many you want to

[magic hatch]

I wanna grind them all but at the same time I’m not trying to push it and get myself burnt out of the game.

[outer flower]

just got my first great one red deer

131 hours

[signal sun]

Holy frick, another. Nice!

I think spirit is probs my favourite

[ivory pond]

Its like my 3rd favorite

[signal sun]

Whats 1st and 2nd?

[ivory pond]

Chestnut and spotted then cream so spirit is 4th

Just above the glaciers

[full cave]

I haven't gotten to the point where I'm willing to spend hours to months grinding for a great one lol

But I kinda want to

[hidden pagoda]

I haven't seen this rack make it ever

[hidden pagoda]

W

[hidden pagoda]

yeah I'm like 4200 into moose, just hoping it doesn't go into the 13,500 area that my longest whitetail did 😭

[forest vine]

This is the exact reason people don't play this game!

[hidden pagoda]

why? because they don't get big trophies all the time?

[forest vine]

Anyone who is required to "grind" to get a GO, doesn't want to!

[hidden pagoda]

if that's the only thing that makes you find the game enjoyable just install mods lmao

[hidden pagoda]

sucks for them

[forest vine]

Well, it will NEVER be in the top 100, so, sux for the Devs!

[hidden pagoda]

the entire point is for them to be a rare trophy that very few get normally or have to put work into

[forest vine]

I can fix that for them in one conversation!

[hidden pagoda]

if everyone had one they wouldn't be special

that's just how it works

[forest vine]

WRONG!

[forest vine]

WRONG

They just have no endgame!

They haven't figured it out yet!

[hidden pagoda]

come back when you're sober

[forest vine]

I'm a game dev, been in the business for over 30 years!]

I owned a graphic design company serving Devs for over 10

I'm Maya and Blender cert!

You're the one drunk!

[acoustic cedar]

Wut

[forest vine]

I write python, which is not what they use, there GE is Unity knockoff!

[acoustic cedar]

Since when does a game require an “end game” to be successful lmaooo

I prefer games without an end game normally

Feels more free

[forest vine]

You can't be serious, nor will I take that as a serious statement!

[hidden pagoda]

if you think games require a story or progression to an end to be fun go play something else

[acoustic cedar]

I’m 1000% serious

[acoustic cedar]

Exactly

[forest vine]

Feel sorry far ya!

[acoustic cedar]

Want something with an end game? Try Zelda

(I actually like Zelda)

[forest vine]

This game needs an endgame, you have no idea what you're talking about!

[acoustic cedar]

Sure

And you’re not a troll

[forest vine]

DLCs will only last so long

[acoustic cedar]

Uh huh

Not like there’s 1000s of trophies to go after

[forest vine]

Troll...LOL

[acoustic cedar]

If you include all the fur variants etc

[forest vine]

Nice, can't do any better than that?

[hidden pagoda]

average "my experience means more than the success of a game" mindset

[acoustic cedar]

You need more than trophies to collect in a hunting game?

[forest vine]

Ahain, I will diviest!

[hidden pagoda]

let's see you make a hunting game that appeals to a large audience by being accessible but also has a limited progression with an end game and see how successful it is

[acoustic cedar]

I’ve never seen someone troll this hard lmfao

[forest vine]

Well, it's been fun, I tired, but...

[acoustic cedar]

If you don’t like it, why you here?

[forest vine]

Going to play now!

bye!

[hidden pagoda]

lmao

[acoustic cedar]

I’m dying

Wth was that

[hidden pagoda]

I feel like it was ironic mockery of people who actually think like that

cuz there's no way

[acoustic cedar]

It has to have been

Surely

[hidden pagoda]

or at least if there is one multiple endings

[acoustic cedar]

Exactly

[hidden pagoda]

like when I was playing starfield I heard there was one true ending and lost interest

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah games with an ending generally only have so much replay ability for me

[hidden pagoda]

honestly really none

[full cave]

I'd prefer a game with a main accomplishment and then endless post game but no endgame is fine

That was a strange conversation I just read lmao

[pliant oak]

just someone trolling

[gritty tendon]

"i'm a game dev"

gives "my dad works for certain game company and will ban you" type vibe lmao

think it'd be kind of weird for a hunting game like this to have an "end game"

[minor hearth]

It's good to be passionate about the game, but please come back and speak to other members better than what you've done here.

[drifting dirge]

GOT THE GREATONE MOOSE AFTER 4.8K AND ITS ASHEN SO I DONT LIKE IT

[hidden pagoda]

LMAO

I feel that sm

[gritty tendon]

does it at least have a good rack?

[minor hearth]

I'll never understand people who go off about players who grind. Grinding isn't easy. I personally don't do it because 1, I don't have the time and 2, I don't have the patience. Anyone who grinds, I tip my hat to them.

[gritty tendon]

i think that's the exact reason they go off on people who grind

they can't/don't want to do it themselves

[minor hearth]

yeah, it's a silly attitude to have. If I ever come across a GO, that would be awesome, but I'm not going to go out there and get upset if I don't get one. If I get one, I get one lol

[gritty tendon]

definitely have to have a certain mentality to grind especially for the longer grinds

[minor hearth]

Exactly

[gritty tendon]

i've been out of grinding for a little bit now because i wanted to wait for the next GO

but

no clue when that's going to be anymore

[hidden pagoda]

same goes with how I feel about people that hunt hyper-realistically, I don't have the patience for that

[minor hearth]

lol. They should play Classic if they want that.

[gritty tendon]

i was thinking about that last night

with how some people want the game to go into a more hyper realistic route

why not just hop on classic then?

[forest vine]

Oh, and they spoke so well to me, huh?

[minor hearth]

You came at them like a bull at a gate. Just be a little more polite or something.

[tiny kestrel]

You just went “WRONG!” When they presented a valid argument for why there should be no endgame to this game lol

[hidden pagoda]

yeah I was rude because you were being rude in a way that showed you weren't open to an actual argument

[tiny kestrel]

Don’t act surprised when you go at someone and they be rude back lol

That’s kind of the basics of being a decent human being

Like three people provided valid, coherent arguments for their opinion and bro quite literally went “nuh uh” and dipped when he couldn’t provide any actual counter argument

[hidden pagoda]

why is that making me laugh 😭

yeah for future reference

if you want to prove a point or have a conversation take into account your side and the other one

[short current]

The profile picture maybe? The naive nature of this person?

[tiny kestrel]

But Sonic you don’t understand

This game HAS to have an endgame

[hidden pagoda]

it was mostly the "literal nuh uh"

LMAO

[short current]

That was my next guess😅

[short current]

Literally the basic of a productive discussion

[hidden pagoda]

yep, which unfortunately has to be explained quite often on the internet

[short current]

Unfortunately yes

[hidden pagoda]

you also know someone has lost and is butthurt about it when they resort to personal insults or playing victim

[tiny kestrel]

Scanning the argument again

Not one actual argument was made on his side

I can’t believe it they actually went “you don’t know what you’re talking about”

☠️☠️☠️

[rocky wharf]

Hi I’m new

[tiny kestrel]

Hi new

I’m dad

[rocky wharf]

Nice

[hidden pagoda]

what's up

[tiny kestrel]

I’m so sorry I had to

[rocky wharf]

It’s fine

[tiny kestrel]

Man this is genuinely interesting

You usually find trolls in PC general

Such a rare occasion we find someone genuinely tweaking in this channel lol

[hidden pagoda]

watch this one score top esti

nah 271

[high heath]

I sense a disturbance in the force...

or maybe thats my ball hairs tingling. We shall see.

[next nimbus]

while simultaneously having bugs that make it unplayable and dlcs that seem nigh on p2w?

[plain raptor]

You say that as if you could do better

[next nimbus]

no i cant
was just complaining cause they put so much time into DLCS while the base game is buggy

[plain raptor]

What bugs are making the game unplayable?

Genuine question

[next nimbus]

the game having a seizure when i tab out

fullscreen being awful in general

borderless windowed needing a 3rd party program to use

(literally what support told me)

the windows key being disabled and the snipping tool being disabled so its harder to notice the game having a seizure

[fast ridge]

That sounds like a hardware issue. I can tab out just fine.

[next nimbus]

the games textures break in FS

hol on lemme grab clips again

#🦌︴general message

#🦌︴general message

[plain raptor]

I don’t think that’s such a pressing issue where you can say the game is unplayable

What is FS by the way?

[next nimbus]

full screen

and its quite unplayable for me as someone who likes chatting on discord while they play

[plain raptor]

Oh. I play in FS all the time and my textures are fine

Could be just your computer maybe?

[next nimbus]

yeah go download obs with a game capture on and tell me what happens when u tab out?

made editing awful

[plain raptor]

It seems then that OBS just doesn’t bode well with the game

[next nimbus]

nope

this is an issue with the game not obs

obs just records

[plain raptor]

Only when you use OBS, yes?

So the game doesn’t like when you use OBS

[next nimbus]

uhhhhh no i only notice it when i use obs cause obs only capture COTW not everything

[plain raptor]

So it’s an issue without OBS? You can’t full screen at all?

[next nimbus]

no the FS thing is its own issue

i can fullscreen fine and play in fullscreen fine

i just can barely tab out

and then yeah i can go use borderless windowed with some 3rd party software

but i still cant snipping tool or windows key

[plain raptor]

I can tab out just fine in full screen

Borderless window allows me to use snipping tool because I have taken snippets of maps before so I can scribble on them

[next nimbus]

try to do it rn

[plain raptor]

I did it yesterday

[next nimbus]

cause they issues persisted on both epic and steam in the most current release

[plain raptor]

Did a red fox drinking guide

[next nimbus]

unless the patched it without saying it cause they didnt want anyone to friggin notice

[plain raptor]

Are you sure it’s not just you having this problem?

[next nimbus]

yeah

ik that from my support emails i sent not to long ago

lemme dig em up

[plain raptor]

Have you tried the software they recommended?

[next nimbus]

yeah thats what i used

it only made stuff slightly less annoying

[hidden pagoda]

mm

max weight 299 again

[wary mason]

I regret eating dairy

[weak turtle]

Well

[weak turtle]

What did it score?

[rigid forge]

🥛

[wary mason]

I shit

I feel better now

[hidden pagoda]

299.3

[weak turtle]

Nice

[forest vine]

Grinding in this game for GOs is cheesing. If one can't get a GO legit, then the game is flawed!

The major problem with that, is people believe this is the endgame, and the Devs never intended that to be the case! However, they grabbed onto it and it stuck! It's vain, nothing more! I enjoy this game, but I don't grind for GOs because it's vain! I don't need that little pat on the back, or show off a virtual trophy that no one will ever see!

[minor hearth]

[jagged jackal]

An endgame to a hunting game with essentially 0 continuation, story-wise. Uhh..no.

The game could definitely use some more frequency in terms of events or updates, but I’m not gonna sit here and speak condescendingly to people who put time and effort into something they enjoy even if it isn’t my flavor of ice cream 😭.

Let people have fun. The game caters to a smaller populous anyways, aka hunters and/or people who enjoy the activity even if it is on a video game. Sheesh.

[wary mason]

It seems I have stumbled upon a clown

[wary mason]

Are you a dev? Do you know what they intend?

Oh wait hold on, let me hold my mouth there is no point in arguing with someone who clearly thinks they are right and only right.

[wary mason]

What did I miss

[brave mango]

Bro is the definition of the nerd emoji

[wary mason]

LMFSAOSOSIJ

[hidden pagoda]

some guy thinks he's funny cuz "hehe great one bad"

[wary mason]

💀💀💀💀💀

This guy must think he's like half the un funny comedians, stick onto one joke their whole career

[olive yacht]

For what? One star indie games? Post something coherent, maybe then you won’t get dragged in the server.

[brave mango]

Bro came in the server just to tell proffesional game devs what to do

[olive yacht]

Lmao, look at GTA V, right now the online portion has no official end game that I know of, and it has outlasted 3 console generations. It has racked up $8 Billion in worldwide revenue. Endgame does not matter whatsoever.

[brave mango]

Exactly i enjoy no endgame more

[olive yacht]

Yes! It gives you more content to look forward to.

[drifting dirge]

is hm for bears for GO a game changer

[drifting dirge]

the reall light one so yea

is hm for bears for GO a game changer?

[jagged jackal]

and WoW. Expansions for almost 20 years and remains one of the most popular games of all time 💀.

CotW being expanded with dlc was never an issue, it’ll never be a major title because it caters to a very small % of video game players. This guy was talking straight nonsense.

[high heath]

quit yo yapping ong fr

you ain’t spitting bars nor communicating 📠

[plain raptor]

Just ignore them. Ain’t nobody’s opinion gonna change the way I play the game

[hidden pagoda]

real

[short current]

What is your definition of "legit" then?

[pliant oak]

dont feed the troll

have fun grinding ! new thanksgiving skins too

😁

turkey hunting at the mo with shotgun then back to the grind

[hidden pagoda]

very neat skins

[short current]

No I'm genuinely curious, if grinding is cheesing, what is legit according to him

Reseting pop file?

[pliant oak]

also turkey are level 1 so new lab retriever will be able to fetch them

going to be so cool

[pliant oak]

look at the responses obvious troll. just ignore.

[short current]

I agree he is nothing but a troll. But still

I just wanted to embarrass him more honestly

[hidden pagoda]

to be honest

trolling the troll makes you a troll either way

[short current]

Fair enough

I'll stop

[high heath]

I feed all, regardless of internet status

mostly to enjoy their shitty and illogical responses to questions

[plain raptor]

But that’s what they want is for people to get stirred up

If you just let them talk and don’t reply they’ll get tired and stop

It’s strange coming from a discord booster

[dusty igloo]

Finally GO BB

[pliant oak]

number 243 for reds

[wooden junco]

1st 9 in a few days and it trolls lol

[full cave]

Holy crap man nice

[full cave]

Depression

[wooden junco]

Hada good run recently had 11 in 2 days then none since haha

[full cave]

So I think I'm ready to grind for a fallow but I need a little advice

I can't find much on the ol' tube so I need to know 3 things

What rifle should I use? What map and lakes are best? And how do respawns work

[wooden junco]

TA is the one most use as less zones to cover. Shoot 3 and up if using HM

[normal rose]

How many total diamond reds is this now from casual hunts and other grinds

[full cave]

How exactly do I get the animals to respawn though

[normal rose]

Just sleep

[full cave]

Do I turn the game off and back on? Change the time? What triggers them to respawn

[full cave]

Oh

[wooden junco]

Shoot sleep repeat

[full cave]

I'm trying to figure out the best lakes to hunt on awaroa

I assume it doesn't matter too much as long as there's fallows on the lake

[full cave]

That little lake at the bottom I've been shooting fallows on for a long time

Just not drinking

Grinding*

Auto correct is insane

[wooden junco]

Use a tripod if shooting more than three at a zone as too much hunting pressure above 3 kills not in a stand/tripod/blind will erase the zone and move it.

[full cave]

What is the rifle people are using that shoots fast

I constantly use the 7mm single shot which probably isn't the best idea

[normal rose]

I use the 7mm malmer which is a dlc weapon

3 shot

[wooden junco]

Mix of what people like I gues I use the M1 others love the 7mm malmer, 303, or zarza 308

[full cave]

With herd management you only wanna shoot the bigger males correct?

[wooden junco]

3-5

[full cave]

Last thing, isnt there some thing about having you tent a certain distance from the drink zone so they spawn?

[wooden junco]

230m or they wont spawn in or spook

if you are too close as you cant find level ground to drop a tent in some crappy mountainous areas just put a marker on the map at the zone and walk backwards till hit 230m and you can see em spawn in.

[pliant oak]

this is from one grind. started last year. three GO reds from it.

in search of a super rare

63 diamond red deer since last great one red deer

so something nice hopefully is soon for red deer

[full cave]

Gonna take forever to set this up

Already seen a few massive 4s though

[edgy tree]

I use the the 308 ar and sometimes the 30-06

[full cave]

Never had an issue with money on this game untill now

Goose grind it is

[olive swift]

Uujee!

[normal rose]

Congrats

[full cave]

Just spotted a piebald fallow doe on a random drink zone

Can't even count her as the first rare of the grind cause I wasn't grinding yet

[wicked rose]

Which Great one has the most Fabald fur types?

[full cave]

So from what I'm seeing they don't respawn after just resetting the time

Number 120

[edgy tree]

No they don’t you have to restart your game to get them to respawn

[full cave]

And number 121

[full cave]

122

And 123

[pliant oak]

number 244

[desert vessel]

Hey my spawns for my grind keep getting weirder and weirder i am getting 2s on places i never even shot a 2 and 5s who are going to solos zones? any tips

I got so many solos i shot down to 2s but now even though i didnt shoot them they are higher level

[pliant oak]

you will get males join areas they can join

[desert vessel]

I had most of my males completed the way i wanted but when i shot some diamonds it all went to sh*t

[hidden pagoda]

ooga ooga

mm

mmm this rack

[hidden pagoda]

another

[rose jungle]

@hidden pagoda are these all like back to back to back?

[hidden pagoda]

within 15 kills, yeah

[rose jungle]

thats kinda nuts

[gritty tendon]

albino moose have to be one of my favorite rares next to the grey wolf rares

[hidden pagoda]

the grey wolf rares are incredible, sad I don't have any

[hidden pagoda]

yeah it's a little luck spurt

happens every now and then

and another lol

[rose jungle]

sus asf, but alright

[full cave]

Dude I just shot a piebald buck but it did the penetration glitch 😭

He was gonna be a gold

F

[signal sun]

@hidden pagoda you gonna take that? 😭

[full cave]

NVM I just took a risky long shot

Second rare of the grind

Both piebalds

[hidden pagoda]

dawg I've killed 31k whitetail and put well over 2700 hours into this game

that and I'm playing on singleplayer on xbox

[hidden pagoda]

shid you wanna look at this part of my codex go ahead

[hidden pagoda]

yooooo

[full cave]

Now I have a piebald buck and a piebald doe lol

Sucks the shot hit flesh but I'm not bent out of shape over it

[hidden pagoda]

I'm honestly surprised nobody has tried to say that earlier lmao

to be fair tho I can just point out the fact I streamed for 27 hours straight and killed over 1000 red deer in one sitting

[signal sun]

That is true 😂

[hidden pagoda]

granted it prolly helps that I've been grinding since before rancho was a thing

[clever eagle]

Hmmm, I think you hunted a moose once or twice 😂

[hidden pagoda]

just maybe

might have killed almost 4500 of them with no great one yet

just maybe

[pseudo dagger]

number like 5?

[full cave]

First diamond of the grind boys

[hidden pagoda]

nice nice

good luck

[hidden pagoda]

bruh

and it's actually gold

[crude spindle]

Very realistic rack looks nice

[hidden pagoda]

it does

[hidden pagoda]

mmph

[desert vessel]

should i still shoot my shootable males who are level 2s in my shooting places so i can get them somewhere else?

[hidden pagoda]

I do

makes things take a bit longer but it's not gonna ruin your grind lol

[wary mason]

I guess it's time to start grinding heavily again

[pliant oak]

yeah me too good luck lets see what today brings

🍀

[wary mason]

Thanks Ron 🍀

[wary mason]

Gonna grind for snowy, she used to watch me grind and well, she passed lastnight so ._.

Rip my little bunno :c

[forest vine]

I believe the word you're looking for is substantive!

[forest vine]

Rude I can handle; I'm an adult, it's stupid that I find annoying!

[forest vine]

You seem to have quite the experience, so, you should know!

[forest vine]

Oh, ya, I was dragged....

[forest vine]

Ditto!

[olive yacht]

Dang, for someone who likes to spit on the game, it's kinda wild that you boosted their server 😭

[forest vine]

I happen to love this game!

I just don't like cheesing for GOs. What's not to understand about that? Would you like some help with the definition of opinion?

[brave mango]

Im convinced this is a AI

[brave mango]

How is it cheesing tho

[olive yacht]

No, no, no, don't go back on your word now little one.

[pliant oak]

have a break please with the trolling

number 245

[olive yacht]

My apologies, and that is a nice diamond!

[deep terrace]

Have any 270+ from your grind yet bub

[pliant oak]

just one

[deep terrace]

What was its score haven’t seen many of them honestly

[pliant oak]

just over 270 they are very rare

[deep terrace]

I have a 271 flat and I’ve never seen a max score one. Have you ever seen one yourself ?

[wary mason]

Why do you always use a fkn exclamation mark!!

You can't be a real human!

You are only hear to bug people and be a pest please shut up!

[pliant oak]

personally not had one no

legit are as rare as a great one

[wary mason]

If you only argue with people and not hear out their opinions and only tunnel vision your own and act like a know it all don't waste your breath!!!!!!

[plain raptor]

Y’all stop arguing with this person

This is exactly what they want

[hidden pagoda]

literally just block the dumbass

yeah it's attention seeking

as much as I wanna get back at em it's best to ignore

[deep terrace]

It seems like it

[hidden pagoda]

probably rarer

[pliant oak]

well i had 245 diamond reds for this grind and one has been above 270

so if hunting legit they are probably rarer than a great one

[hidden pagoda]

oh yeah fs

I mean I had 2 GOs and I think 65 dias in 9300 kills

and uh

[wooden junco]

Now I wanna go check mine lol

[hidden pagoda]

biggest one was 267.5

[pliant oak]

a lot of the big estimates always like 265 ish

had some like 305 esitmate but never score more than 265 ish

[wooden junco]

I think arpund 270 is my biggest red

[pliant oak]

the 270 plus wasnt as high as many i had estimated

right back to the grind lets see whats next

[wooden junco]

270.4 biggest red dime by the looks for me and 272.2 was my G1 red

[hidden pagoda]

my reds were uh

251 and 270

I'm so glad I got the rack with 46 tines, it's honestly my favorite

I do not miss that fucked up barely legible transparent harvest screen tho

[drowsy oak]

The one added after Revontuli was best imo

Transparent but modern and legible

[hidden pagoda]

AGREED

[drowsy oak]

Like sometimes i was just staring at it cuz it's kinda amazing

[hidden pagoda]

yeah that was so nice

[deep terrace]

My biggest red is 271 flat but I’ve seen someone in a Xbox lodge with 269.9 I felt so bad for the guy

[pliant oak]

number 246

[full cave]

Bouta start the grind back up

Surprisingly didn't get that boring yesterday

[forest vine]

The question is, why does it bother you so much!?!

[forest vine]

Let's not be rude, now...

[full cave]

I hope you're a troll

[forest vine]

"little one?" Oh my...

[full cave]

You're a server booster complaining about a game that nobody else has an issue with lol

[forest vine]

Do you have a comprehension problem? When did I complain about the game?

[signal sun]

Just dont give the guy attention, thats all he wants, ignore him block him wahtever you gotta do to end this just do it.

[full cave]

https://tenor.com/view/nike-just-do-it-gif-26636514

Oh no gifs

[forest vine]

That's the least of what I want!

[full cave]

W mandalorian pfp

My old one was the mandalorian

I wonder if I can find it

[signal sun]

Thanks 😁

[forest vine]

Please don't make me explain this to you.

K, I'm done with this petty banter, it's boring! I'm going to go enjoy my COTW now!

[tiny kestrel]

Buhbye

[forest vine]

Buhbye!

[brave mango]

Thats the best thing you said so far

[tiny kestrel]

Lmao

[high heath]

i sense a tingling in my balls

[forest vine]

No, it isn't!

[tiny kestrel]

I wonder if we’re gonna get a GO release alongside the Labrador

[high heath]

id hope so

[tiny kestrel]

Or if it’s also getting delayed with the map

[forest vine]

You, like all the other, do not listen!

[high heath]

others*

[forest vine]

I simply made a couple of opinions, you all went off the rails....lol

I'm not sure how to interrupt that, whatsoever!

Sad, actually!

[high heath]

@tiny kestrel i need a recap asap

whats this clown ramblin about today

[brave mango]

Why the ! at the end of every sentence

[forest vine]

Ooh, too many exclamation points, so I better stop exclaiming stuff!

[signal sun]

!!!!!!!!!!!!! - basically just sentances that dont make sense and end with an "!"

[high heath]

ah

thanks

[brave mango]

No problem!

Have a nice day!

[forest vine]

It's an exclamation point, go see Webster.

[signal sun]

I-i-i know what an exclamation point is...

[full cave]

W-w-well y-you should use l-less exclamation p-points... 👉👈

[brave mango]

Didn't you just say you were done with this banter! And were going to enjoy cotw!!!

[forest vine]

k, clickin start game now, and I can't Tabout cuz me crashes!

byebye lil ones...lol

[full cave]

Just a bit of banter in the morning

[signal sun]

woah he started a sentance without a capital 🤯

[forest vine]

I love the smell of banter first thing in the morning.

[brave mango]

"lil ones" 💀

[full cave]

On an actual serious note. I have a herd of doe's that I keep shooting a doe off of and sometimes they respawn as bucks or they don't respawn at all

[brave mango]

Nobody loves your banter tho

[tiny kestrel]

Bro has said “bye” twice now and still hasn’t left

[full cave]

I thought females could only respawn as females

[tiny kestrel]

That’s the case

[forest vine]

Ya, scroll up, it's not mine, some else owns that one. hehehe

[full cave]

That's not what seems to be happening

[tiny kestrel]

What’s most likely happening is two of your animals have swapped

[signal sun]

Sometimes it just makes your other males re-appear, I do this when I only have 1 of my males show up, ill kill a doe, main menu and then both bucks are there

[tiny kestrel]

Do you have a female showing up in a zone you haven’t been shooting females at?

[forest vine]

oops, getting sloppy on the keyboard in anticipation of game start, bye guys

[high heath]

females respawn as females, males respawn as males

[full cave]

That would make more sense

[brave mango]

Bro is hyped about a game thats doesn't have a end

[high heath]

ratio is always the same (excluding the animals stuck in the respawn pool)

[brave mango]

Which is something he complains about 24/7

[rigid forge]

Hello, children

[full cave]

After I shot my first diamond of the grind last night I got trolled lol

[tiny kestrel]

Just leave it. He’s said bye THREE times now and is still typing lmao

[high heath]

hi cash

[wooden junco]

Hiya Cashie 😈

[forest vine]

You have no clue what I meant about endgame, huh? AND, I'm not being rude, it's a simple question.

[full cave]

Me when great one jackal 💀

[tiny kestrel]

Man I sure do love great ones

[full cave]

I don't at all see how a great one small predator would work

[forest vine]

Is that the problem, no clue what endgame means?

[signal sun]

Hello father

[forest vine]

oh, man...

me go now

[tiny kestrel]

I mean, pretty much every small predator has at least one great map for them

[brave mango]

4th time bro

Actually leave now lmao

[tiny kestrel]

Red fox have Yukon and EC, coyote have NEM, etc

I definitely think the next GO is gonna be red fox

[full cave]

Rancho coyotes hit different

[brave mango]

Could be euro bison to tho

[high heath]

@rigid forge turns out my medved map is untouched

what to do...

[rigid forge]

Touch it

[tiny kestrel]

I forgot about Rancho lol

[full cave]

Hear me out, bison.

[full cave]

This

[rigid forge]

https://tenor.com/view/fox-animation-animated-fox-boop-boop-nose-gif-23550052

[high heath]

i dont think red foxes are on medved

[full cave]

I suck at hunting medved

I've shot a diamond moose and a piebald moose off my medved and that's it I think

[high heath]

therefore i cannot touch it

[full cave]

I know this won't happen for a long time but a great one on Vurhonga would be pretty cool

I just don't think it would make much sense

I guess lions could

[rigid forge]

[high heath]

i throw those in the trash when they hit my driveway

you cannot hurt me!

thats what im here for!

[full cave]

DUDE

I'm looking at another piebald fallow

What the heck

3 piebald fallows in less than 24 hours

Are they even rare

[high heath]

no not really

they are a rare fur type, but the most common one of the 3 for fallow

[full cave]

Smoked him lol

They feel uncommon

Rare? 3 of the grind

I do like that pattern more than the others though

[tame lark]

Piebald fallow are a rare fur type

[full cave]

DUDE ANOTHER PIEBALD

These can't be rare

These have to be like borderline uncommon

[signal sun]

Yes they are 😂

no they arent even close to borderline

im at 975 kills in this grind with 3

[full cave]

I'm not counting kills

[signal sun]

when did you start?

[full cave]

But I've shot 3 and am looking at a 4th

[full cave]

Yesterday at like 12 pm

[signal sun]

whats an estimate of kills?

[full cave]

Uhhhh

Maybe in the 100s?

I'm not sure

Maybe I should start counting

I'm waiting on him to come back cause I shot another level 3 and he ran away

[signal sun]

Id reccomend it, I started grinding well not counting and then was not happy that I didnt start couting

[full cave]

Dang it's 13:00 he ain't gonna be back for a little while

Gotta reset the time

Do you go by how many gold's you shoot or just all kills

Have you shot a mela or albino on your grind yet?

[tiny kestrel]

I stopped counting kills in most of my grinds. Can’t be bothered tryna keep track lol

[signal sun]

All kills. Out of a total of 2969 kills throughout all fallow grinds I have 3 melas, 0 bennos, and 7 pies

tbh I hope what happens with beeno luck is what happened to kc, go on a really long grind then a sr beeno spawns as first beeno

[hidden pagoda]

ehhh

I'm at 19 pies out of prolly 6000 fallow now

and 15 pies out of 4500 moose

whitetail are considerably rarer in my experience,

57 in 31.5k

[signal sun]

Ok yes other species are rarer but pie is still rare

[hidden pagoda]

yeah lol

[full cave]

He finally came back

And I got him off the herd that I said was all doe's

I shot one of the doe's and next respawn him and another buck were there

Weird herd

Lol he has the exact same rack as the last one

4th piebald of the grind

And the same pattern

Score is just different lmao

[pliant oak]

i killed a level 3 not long ago first rare since super rare

[safe solar]

Yeah I definitely agree I’m at like 2100 something kills on my current grind with only 4 rares at least one was a sr

[hidden pagoda]

wild luck

I got 2 srs out of

oh what 65k kills in the entire game?

at least

[safe solar]

I think my codex says I’m at about 5300 kills but of course that’s doesn’t kills I haven’t picked up

And then about 2600 of those kills are wt so yeah ig I did get rly lucky to get a sr that early on

[hidden pagoda]

yeah my codex says 35k or so but I did a LOT of no claim grinding

the first like 23,000 whitetail and all 9300 red deer were no claim grinds

[pliant oak]

codex sadly isnt accurate so cant be used

i wish we had servers like classic so you could see what people shot

including our own

[hidden pagoda]

my codex really never bugged so

[pliant oak]

grind counter would also be neat in game

[hidden pagoda]

plus I count my grinds

[pliant oak]

well a lot of people say they claim and dont

thats the problem

so you can just insert any number

[somber turret]

I came back during the bloodhound release when everything was screwed up so I feel this very much

[pliant oak]

i killed 23000 whitetail but really they didnt

[hidden pagoda]

I can tell you right now I've killed 52,000 in grinds alone

[pliant oak]

i can tell you now i killed 100000000000000000

but cant prove it

😁

[hidden pagoda]

you kinda can tho

[somber turret]

How many did you harvest tho because the codex only counts harvests

[hidden pagoda]

a bunch of diamonds spread out across a significant amount of time

[hidden pagoda]

like I said 23k of those whitetail and all of the 9k red deer weren't claimed

so it reads 35k

[pliant oak]

this is the main

thing

it would be amazing if it just counted all deaths

not just claimed

would add some validity

[hidden pagoda]

that's true

[somber turret]

Gun stats are a good way for that with the shots it kinda

[pliant oak]

it can be

[somber turret]

Because it counts the hits without claiming but yeah it would be amazing if we had more stats in the game

[pliant oak]

it would help massively with people who just pop in ohh i got a great one

300 kills

[somber turret]

Yup

[pliant oak]

see it regular you know they spawned it in lol

must see it ten 20 times a week in here

obviously not grinded

the worst thing is people know if you done it..just cause people dont say they know doesnt mean they dont know.

😉

there are certain things that show you doing it

right more fallow deer before dinner

[full cave]

So I one you want to collect your kills but is it fully necessary?

Like does it effect spawns at all

[somber turret]

Seems like it helps a ton

Between spawn consistency spawn quality go spawns

[full cave]

Ngl I've only been picking up what falls close

Feels like a waste of time to walk all the way around lakes collecting little bucks

I mean money sure

But it's just faster not to

[safe solar]

That’s what I did on my first grind and I got a go in like 500 - 600 kills (I wasn’t counting) and on my second grind I’ve been picking up every kill and I’m at like 2100 kills with no go

So from my experience it doesn’t effect much

[full cave]

So then it probably doesn't matter much

Yea

[safe solar]

Yeah the money is nice tho

[full cave]

I mean even if collecting kills makes it better quality spawns it's still faster not to so it seems like it would just be even to me

I mean I collect the majority

But when I'm dropping 4 or 5 bucks on the other side of a lake I don't wanna walk 300 yards to pick it up when I've got other zones to shoot

[safe solar]

Yeah probably varies between players but for me I was still getting consistent respawns off of kills I didn’t pick up

[safe solar]

Exactly

[full cave]

Diamond 2 of the grind

[safe solar]

100th diamond of the grind seems like its going to be a long one

Im drowning in diamonds but cant seem to spawn any rares or a go

[full cave]

Codex flex

Best codex so far 💀

[safe solar]

I feel like I had more fun when I was getting less diamonds tbh

[somber turret]

You got excitement from the diamond you got

Now you get less rewards

can you help or not

[vital oyster]

No

[rigid forge]

Is there a lynx in the vicinity?

[willow dirge]

no

[willow dirge]

maybe; ill check

[tiny kestrel]

Man I really wanna get a big albino moose

It’s the only rare I’m missing a gold or better of

[high heath]

go get one then

[willow dirge]

no lynx

and at one zone the bulls dont even show up

even if i main menu

[tiny kestrel]

I’m tryin

[plain raptor]

Try harder, loser

[hidden pagoda]

I got a 252 initial lmao

[full cave]

Random question and I'm not sure if anybody has any idea. At the time an animal spawns I know the estimate score is predetermined but is the exact score already decided or is that decided once the animal is harvested?

[rigid forge]

Exact scoring is decided once the animal has spawned

[full cave]

So then a "troll" is predetermined at the time of it's spawn

Makes sense

[rigid forge]

Correct

[hidden pagoda]

guh

[weak turtle]

All from this evenin

[hidden pagoda]

nice nice

got one of everything lmao

[gentle stag]

very happy

ayeeeeeee

still hoping for mine soon

[weak turtle]

Nice bro,ashen is my favorite fur

[thorny notch]

How many kills did it take you?

[round siren]

fallow grind #27

[edgy tree]

By far the biggest estimate I have had on the grind

And he’s down

[finite bramble]

It's funny seeing an estimate like that and it turns out like that

[edgy tree]

Ya it is

[finite bramble]

Gets your hopes up until you see the rack and it's just a mood killer

[edgy tree]

And yet another high estimate

Better than the last one

[azure stratus]

Half and half?
