Trust me I got more knowledge in this game than you
good night
Go ahead and spawn the same rack with that diamond on your map buddy
i actually thought you were a solid decent grinder good person. showed your colours today
I mean I hate when people give out false info
So thatās the problem here
And Iām a way better grinder than you got way more g1s than you
To be fair, youāre just saying ātrust me broā
Isn't Albinos red deer GO just a mode?
I mean who is talking to you tho?
Oh my bad
bro is really just attacking everyone
could actually learn something blocked now
Oh yea thats normal
How would I learn from someone who is not good at the game
how about this, everyone just plays the game how they wanna play it. They can also believe in their own things too š
I mean you spend half the day on the game most of the time
Havenāt even been playing hunter tbh
Bruh you literally got like 6 GO last week
When were those WT?
The week before
And that one moose was on my map already it was on my map since my last run from last week then that 2nd one took 19 kills
#40
FINALLY OMFG I GOT THE TYPICAL RACKS FOR THE 41 G1S FALLOW
you got two g1s in one day?
He often do it
#5
FINALLYYYY AFTER 40 GREAT ONE FALLOW DEER THE TYPICAL RACKS SHOWED UP FOR THE 41
Wow that is a cool G1
I really want a G1 Fallow but my fallow are terrible
Dude same
last great one needed
Same so i refresh it
I broke some zones and they mooves
Ah, did u start a how new game or just reset the maps
Nahhh i never do anything like that
How did u refrsh it then
I just shoot and break some zones of my map for mooving them
Ah okay
fe
iron
. No fair enough
Go get mooseš
Gave up on that a long time ago lmao

All my good zones proved to be solo only
But that isnt good zones
do it
I cant spell at all
Yeah... I only realized that after setting up the zones
I will
I only grind zones where its 3 moose 2 bulls and a cow or 2 cows and a bull
Those zones are near impossible to break
Well that's what i had... And somehow they broke
Not bad
Have that set up already?
Yea
Damn...
Ive shot 11k moose off NEM
How many g1?
Just got my first great one donāt have a picture on my phone but I finally did it boys
Whitetail on reventoili
Damn
The middle one I think it might be cluster rack itās like the middle between smallest and the biggest
Idk what itās called
Like 400-430 scoring?
Yes like the eating was 400-470 I shouldāve looked at the score but I was to excited lmao
Like this?
Cluster/crown
Das one messed up der
Yea
Looks like me on Mondays
I like the rack but the amount of kills it tookā¦
4k?
That grind was half my WT kills
Yea
I gave up for months came back on the game yesterday and shot my great one today
I cannot deal with the bouncers
Lol great welcome back gift
Bouncers?
Yeah now Iām hooked nowš
Oh i dont really have that issue
My zones are pretty much 2 does 2 bucks and never changes
Well so were mine until they decided to not want to work with me anymore
Have had it happen with fallow a few days ago
Oh yea didnt you try layton at some point a while back
Yup
That happend to me I switched maps and started grinding all over again bc it pissed me off so much
My te fallow are done forā¦
I'll do it on missi whenever i get back to WT
My fallow are acting up lately
Im at 2432 kills on Mississippi š„²
Any luck?
A max score dime and thats it
Still better than nothing
Das nice
Been mostly going for Mississippi bears since they have a reset coming soon
Id do mostly the bottom half of the inner river section
Top right looks decent... But if they bounce to the river it will be painful
Top right is ehhh
I don't really like the bottom right lakes
That big horizontal lake bottom half is rlly good
Realistically could only grind on that lake
Ya
Yea
Cannot wait to check my grizzlies again
Sad
wishful thinking but hoping update will be mid june since it's taken so long
Dime #36 | Total kills 3974 | Kills on grind #4 757
what is that file
prob something that shouldnāt be opened?
Please post a file format that discord will load properly and not require people to download - for safety reasons alone. TIA~
Troll | Total kills 3988 | Kills on grind #4 771
Well still a good pie tbh
Fe, in around 800 kills I have had 3 rares on the BB grind.
Hoping my 4000 kill is my 4th G1 lol
I need to go back to gear to get a blonde super
I havent had a blonde in 8k or so kills
And I have hit the 4k mark with it being a 5.
Rip
just had a quick round on fallows 2 more diamonds
this red deer GO im surprised still hasnt spawn 79 diamonds since last one . probably get another fallow before the red
that could be a sr since pies usually score top or higher in estimate
not with moose
found out the unfortunate way
my pie scored top
That rack doesnt make dime
Piebald moose either score top or bottom of the estimate and that rack canāt make diamond. Trust me I learned this the hard way when I had a level 5 piebald with a lower estimate of 273 score bottom and troll. Looked into it after and thatās how it tends to be.
they can score top est but itās not guaranteed like it is with whitetail
i had a lvl 5 sr troll
bottom est was 270 and it scored 270
My first ever sptoted g1 and my 2nd favorite fur for the g1s and also a level 7 brown my frist rare brown today!!
i just need chestnut to get my top 3
Spirit spotted and chestnut
congrats and goodluck
bears haven't been great to me in terms of different fur types
Been a while since I last played. I finally have some motivation to get back into grinding. Is the high caliber weapon pack worth btw? Seems very interesting and looks like it could be good for grinding.
its worth buying that dlc for the 300 arzyna alone
best big game rifle in the game. that along with the zarza 308 and you got all great ones covered
Sounds amazing, will definitely pick that up then. Thanks!
is it fine to have a ton of solo fallows during the grind?
you will get solos it just a case of getting to level 2s
you can move them or leave em.
once level 2s wont matter as you dont shoot em
do I have to rotate on all zones or can I just pick my favorite and check the others for respawns every now and then
3 ways really. you just shoot males. they respawn where they respawn. you shoot males with hm and dont manage the herds and they still respawn randomly. you shoot hm males and manage the herds and have exterior and main zones
really upto you . the last two you still end up with the same amount of shooters at the end of hm regardless
Im almost done with my first run with the arzyna and... this thing is like easily the best gun I have ever used in this game like holy lol
its my fav gun in cotw now. even over the zarza 308 which i never thought would happen
Oh yeah, easily my favorite too. Not only is it insanely good, it's visually really cool too.
number 349 and 80 diamonds since last Red Go
I just got my GO fallow to spawn at around 100 kills
it was fabled painted unfortunately, I wanted fabled hooded
congrats
np
do you have a G1
i am in school but when i get home i can if you are on ps5 or ps4
i am on pc
Game engine is too old for it to be feasible. If they were to add it, it would mean no other updates for probably at least a year. And unless it included an anticheat, console players would be screwed over royally by hackers.
Troll by 0.05 | Total kills 4012 | Kills on grind #4 795
Dime #37 | Total kills 4035 | Kills on grind #4 818
Reminder that bears are being reset with the upcoming update
Mhm, thats why im trying my best to get my 4th g1 lol
What is the new and old drink time for black bears again? I don't remember anymore.
Old is 20-23 and new is 04-08
Thanks!
So since I have not killed any bears since the change, if I only shoot all my males now, there will be only those males that I shot on the new drink time once they respawn right?
Mhm, until the update which is coming hopefully soon.
Aight, good to know. I really wanna try that and see how well it works.
š
uh
just got confirmed that the next great one is NOT a base-game animal
color me hecking surprised
thank jesus
Jaxy has also said "it is nothing we are expecting" so I doubt it'll be mulie or lion
wolf maybe puma
wolf would be what i want for sure
Considering large predator won the poll they put out a while back
What are we thinking?
Lion
The only animals that fit the criteria of non-base game and large predator are;
Brown bear, grizzly bear, lion, saltwater crocodile, puma/mtn lion, alligator, grey wolf, iberian wolf
Am I missing any?
hopefully salty
Saltwater croc would be insane
sarchosuchas sized
Iād grind tf out of it
Fun fact; the scoring of crocs/gators is based on their length so the 1100 max score of saltwater crocodiles implies a 36 foot long crocodile which literally is sarco sized
Vurhonga needs a Great One
He did say it wasnāt one weāre expecting
Tbh this might be enough to get me back into the game
i think it would have to be something that's been in the game for a little while?
Problem is, crocs are only on one map
one thing they always take into account is the amount of maps the animal is on
My guess is mtn lion based off what we know
i would hate that
exclusive to Yukon and Medved respectively
i don't think i'd even grind for a mtn lion GO
Might be a wolf
medved
And Medved
With that bugged mountain lion audio, absoutely not would I grind them š
Oh and Medved
GO Tiger on then new mapš
that's supposed to be getting fixed
They are fixing that
It also could be a Great One of the new species only for Nepal
they've fixed it before and it's been broken again
considering how protected those are, I sincerely doubt they'd be able to make that work at this point in time
i believe there are grey wolves in nepal so if that ends up being the map it could get added there?
it was origianlly "fixed" in 2020" lol
oh yeah wolves are global
So, last time I grinded was WELL over a year ago. Iām curious, have they fixed the issue of animals just not showing up after a little while?
My whitetail herds are thinning out with each run, they seem to not be respawning
don't think so
Intentional behavior. It's to encourage you to explore when zones dry up.
Oh what the hell
the spawns legit move to new zones
honestly it's why I started keeping my really bad zones, until there's nothing but low-levels and females there
This mechanic sucks so bad
honestly, I'd be down for a wolf GO
They claim to give a damn about grinders but seem to be doing everything possible to inconvenience them
oh Cash would explode
they're on a couple maps
DO NOT SPEAK THOSE FORSAKEN WORDS
MTN lion/Puma maybe
YOY WILL SUMMON HIM
šššš
i believe there are also lynx in nepal?
I want an elk GO so bad
so again if it is nepal that would give them 3 maps?
seriously though, it'd give me an excuse to actually grind for the rares
lol I have red brown diamond from when they were uncommon
i would love for it to be a wolf GO
Exactly
Oh okay Nepal confirmed
i think them having radio/tracking collars could be a cool concept for a GO
Ah. Nope, just checked lynx home range, they are not far south enough
Sundar Patan is the name of our new reserve
The name of the next reserve is Sundarpatan
Nepal confirmed
This map better come with a solid brick of gold considering how much theyāre hyping it up
what about a feral goat GO
That would be neat
they got a bit of a remodel/fur with EC
We have them on two maps already
Siberian Musk deer G1 when????
Never
If/when it gets on another map
oh feral goat, that's another possibility
especially if it's on the new map
give us Tahr please
Man I hope we get backfills again
Tahr on TA, brown bear on Hirsch
Are there any axis deer in Nepal?
yes
probably?
they are native to the indian sub continent
That would be nice
imagine GO bobwhite
Nah...
Euro Rabbit >
š¹
I know who would hunt for them tho lmao
no thanks
Whatās your goal next
I like that
All diffƩrent black bear g1 and all fallow
Big fan of axis deer
They have really cool racks
Wouldnāt be a pain to grind either considering theyāre made of cardboard
Can confirm
Would be nice to get a smaller GO too
In terms of the speciesā size
Overall Iām not really that hyped for Nepal so far and I really hope that changes cuz I really do want a reason to play COTW again
Been playing a lot of WOTH lately lol
Ark has me in a chokehold still
Ascended or OG?
Might end up doing an elk grind again, iirc I was able to cover all their zones so in case my respawns do that stupid zone moving thing I can locate them
What do you think of the Fasolasuchus
haven't tried getting one yet
Really interesting taming method ngl
Ascended. was an impulse buy, courtesy of watching Beard stream it a while back
So, is there any way to mitigate spawns moving to other zones? On most maps with most species you canāt cover all zones with just 16 tents. Is there any way around it?
Pack up tents for zones that die. All you really can do.
YES PLEASSSSEEE
I have a feeling this great one is unique to Sundar Patan
If it would come at the same time as the map I would agree
>:(
they do mainly respawn but it can take 1 - 4 days for them to fully come back
closing game fast forwarding time can help
new none base game confirmed is exciting to hear
doubt it. One of the factors for GO is how many maps they're on
if it's on the new map, fair chance it's something like axis deer
some of the areas suggested by google have over lapping species
One of the other factors is it has to be on a base map, and here we are
Plus Jaxy said it's not something what we expect
Imagine they don't say what it is, and we all have to kill all animals to find out? š
They stopped doing that when hackers kept finding them first.
jaxy confirmed its not a base map go
which is exciting as it opens up the whole idea of what could be next. which is brilliant
we have this now also
which could narrow things down greatly possibly
I think that would be really cool
I would be the happiest man alive
they would really have to up the spawn chance of it
No way, I want to see Scarecrow shoot forty thousand birds
More, I want to see the pain š
bobwhites after hunting them for a month solid aint that bad
Can you imagine trying to spot the quail while they are flying and having to try and HM them š
its just most dont hunt them or try too
now stubble quail oooooft
a lot harder
it doesnt really make sense to do a GO that hard to hunt tbh though
as only a small percentage of the community would GO after it
š
i don't even think you really could hm quail
since you have to shoot the entire flock to get respawns
Wait new GO isnāt base map?
correct , not on a base game map
Holy W
I'd be so down
Maybe reverse sociology, it could be anything at this point𤣠or it is a base game map and jaxy has done us all
what is the average time to get a GO
0-9999 kills
somewhere in that range š
About 2-3 business months
*business years
ngl I was really surprised to hear that
sad we're not getting GO foxes yet though š
Grey fox
...unless gray fox š¤
and the fact that females can make diamond on that species, possibility of both male and female GOs there 
I like the thought process
Now dia females are already rare enough...
G1 females...
iāll put this here again
i feel like this in a way confirms that the species will be on sundarpatan
He says that to everything tho, lets be fair
which narrows it down to non base game species that would be on the new reserve
itās his way of saying yes
i got 1 in my first week i think like 15 hours in i think tryna get my second 1 rn
i think weāve all learned that by now surely
Well pin a rose on your nose! good job!
thanks
when lol
i donāt think iāve ever heard him saying anything about an arctic map other than it would be cool
i know that he actually said that the next map would not be an arctic map
It was a while back when people where just throwing out random ideas and he kept sayin that to each one
never seen him do that unless he was joking
but i donāt think heād be joking about something at a time like this when people need actual answers
Idk, hard to tell tone of voice over text lol
Great One Red Deer # 5, always when you least expect it
i guess weāll find out soon enough though
iād guess weāll find out thursday maybe is when iād expect the teaser
Dime #38 (If not botched) | Total kills 4093 | Kills on grind #4 876
Dime #39 | Total kills 4104 | Kills on grind #4 887
when GO grinding, specifically fallow deer, when do I know when to kill me lvl 5's
when you feel like your map is at a good point
when 5s keep popping up you shoot them, cause then you have it to a point where dimes can spawn easy and you can shoot 3s and 4s, and when they keep spawning it means your HM is working properly.
I started playing theHunter relatively recently, I currently have 62 hours played and I'm loving it.
And I recently managed to hunt my first diamond, after a lot of insistence and several wasted hunting areas.
2050 into whitetail grind now, prayers up for me boys š
Gl, im 4.15k in my Black bear grind (Total), hunting for my 4th.
What map?
Rev, getting super burnt out but need 1 more and hopefully a moose before the next G1 drops
Yeah i feel that... Whitetail have never been nice
Thanks this grind is my longest so far, if it ends up being a rack I already have might just drive an atv off a cliff in Layton
Mine is my fallow which i have given up on, around 5.75k with 77 dimes and loads of trolls and botches, 1 SR and 1 ST. 16 rares
Thatās so rough man, swear this game hates us sometimes Iām 10k+ kills in on whitetail since I started counting (been playing since 2017) and only ever had 1 super troll š
Ah
Yer g1s are luck and my luck only works on bears I see. I was on around 4.5k on moose but then they just didnt respawn
I havenāt even attempted moose yet, Iāve had sort of decent luck with whitetail and bear minus the current whitetail Iām on
Ah
Donāt think Iāll ever be able to truly let whitetail go until I have that typical rack
fe
only 4.15k on your 4th?
my first two bears alone took like 7-8k lol
Mhm.
But thing is since the time change my bears have been Bella weird
and then i had a bunch of really short grinds after
mine were fine but as times gone on theyāve gotten a little weird
iāve had 1 or 2 bounce across the entire map
and then 1 just dipped and i canāt find it anywhere
Just accidentally deleted a zone and canāt find it anywhere š¤¦š¼āāļø
Gl finding it lol
Husky I'm the same but tbh I haven't even checked because of the reset
Usually they're just down the shore on the same lake, so go run around without trying to shoot anything, and you'll find it.
It has me absolutely stumped, have checked every single inch of water I know they can spawn at
what is your favourite map for whitetail GO grind? I decided to go for them now for the first time š
Rev
LMAO found it in the last place I thought to look
15 deer, 6 max weight estimates, 2 level 3ās in 1 zone š
Didnāt even know they could spawn here
Thanks, now I have to run down there and check! š
It made me so happy seeing 15 deer in it, pretty much proves that Iāve found all the other zones š
Another crazy thing is it spawned back as far away from the zone I lost as it possibly could, went from top right lake on map to bottom left
That's crazy, so much for my theory of just down the shore! š§
Most of the time in my experience that theory holds up, Iāve seen them swap lakes near each other but never that far
i cant stop looking at this photo bro
lowkey spotted may be my favorite fur now
this and spirit
Spotted is beautiful I need one
Okay I have managed almost all my whitetail zones down to lv1s should I shoot them all down or should I just move down to my few zones with 2s and shoot them down?
Most people ideally have around 8 shooting zones for HM
I make use of all 16 tents and outposts in good spots and run 10 zones
Find 8-10 of your best zones and shoot the crap out of em
On another note Iāve spawned 11 trolls and 1 diamond in my last 150 kills šš what kinda luck is this
Dime #40 | Total kills 4156 | Kills on grind #4 939
Anyone know how rare this is!? Thanks
the rack?
I haven't seen a split rack deformed like that-
yea its kinda wonky
what is the new G1
Stubble quail
no it's tundra bean goose
G1 bird?
You might get that dime
if it's any class 1 animal I will continue not playing the game lmao
:)))
They should add g1 to some of the new animals they would add
Tiger or elephant
Same
Maybe itās wolves
Maybe itās axis
Who knows
Personally I was hoping for a great one Roe deer or wild boar but Iām guessing the great one might be a Lynx or even Gemsbok
well we know its not a base game go so its not roe deer or wild boar
Exactly
id like roe or wild boar especially wild boar if we got feeders
That would be very interesting yes
Time to watch the teaser then its time to start hunting some more bears and maybe see if I can get my g1 fallow to spawn
Thats is my thinking, or have something to do the the "something else hunts here"
It's the muntjac
Itās most likely just gonna be a tiger/leopard and they utilize the puma hunting mechanic
Ron, or the something else could be a Leopard or Tiger which is part of the mission line.
Nah but it's a tigers roar
then sit there growling in a bush
mule deer could be cool
Anything thatās been requested often in the past would be out
Rocky Mountain Elk
Mule Deer
Blacktail (base game anyways)
Lions
Alligator
Crocodile
I donāt imagine itās any of these if itās not to be expected
if it ends up on the new map it might be axis
if they end up doing things like EC then i think we could get a GO reveal next week
My extended hiatus is coming to an end
Same
Iām coming back for more g1 mental illness
Iām coming back for tigers
Yeah me neither
If it is tigers I hope dev of the map went into make them great ones off the rip
Itād be exciting
Ligers, all black, white tigers
So many possibilities
GO axis will haunt us all
Honestly Iām just excited for a new one I think it could be anything and id be stoked
anything not base game
so that takes out a good chunk
and if itās going to be on the new map itās very limited as to what it could be
i believe it would come down to axis, black buck, water buffalo, possibly grey wolves, eurasian lynx
but thereās a ton of other possibilities if itās not on the map
This sure is something lol
Wow
Instant multi mount
That a lvl 8?
Yeah
Yea šš
That doe has been on my map ever since I first checked this zone so I can't just shoot it
Just hit 10 000 kills across all grinds, 8739 of which are red deer. Still no go.
Slowly losing my mind doing the fallow grind again.
Gl, how many stacked do you know?
I have one question about Te Awaroa red deer g1 grind: can I include a zone in my main zones which spawns levels 6, 7 and 8 but not 9? It seems to spawn only big males but no 9 (trying to do HM, i'm shooting zones down)
Loads lol like 12?
Ah, gl.
Thanks!
Got 3 at this lake, 4 at another, and tons in other places lol
Ah
Thereās a few stubborn 5/6s that wouldnāt shoot down but eh
Only maybe 5 of those on the map
did 1 run on my fallow and shot 2 fallow from 12:00 - 13:00 and went to my normal zones I swear im missing something
Thatās odd
So I moved and am checking all my moose and trying to find my zones on medved
thinking about medved or rev
You're back to grinding?
Eh maybe
Ouuu
Understandable
But I thought Iād mess around
I think we all do š
Don't think about it like that...
2nd shot is a max weight lol
Noice
1248 kills LFG
Well I donāt ever think Iāll get supers after yknow so many years not getting them. But thenā¦we are at 8 this year so far lol
Nice, congrats
ty
Congratulations!!
ty
Mela WT?
I knowā¦still feels unreal
Still sounds unreal
I look at him in the lodge likeā¦you exist?
I found most my moose zones, they all moved to zoens which had just females.
hm I should get back on and kill some fallow
I did 2 runs and shot a total of 5 males. 3 and above
ouch
my moose are like that lol
Mhm.
Just found around 12 male 3+ moose.
all hiding in my female only zones
Ahhh
Still deciding if I should move to rev tbh
Surely Mel is confidently maxed out on trophies for the year and Sundarpatan brainrot won't consume anyone
Definitely 100 percent
I like rev alot
ngl idk if i have the patience at the moment to hm all my moose on rev
15 dime reds dead
Nice.
Rookie numbers
Uh huh
Took an hour and 9 mins recording to get them all lol
Sounds completely right lol
is it bad that i thought i had a lvl 5 elk, but it was a bear.
I don't even think i had passed 10 dia reds when i discovered Steve
I donāt even really want a great one red. Itās about big rares because most of mine are really ugly or small
But if one shows upššš
My rare luck from grinds has been pretty bad lol
This is when mel goes to the zones shes just killed the lvl 9 a g1 is there.
Iād laugh a lot ngl lol
Not including the recent fallow luck
I can see it
Ye but lvl 8
That would hurt less
I have one.
238 scoring piebald
luckily it was an 8 but it still kinda blows lmao
Definitely
Still thinking how a lvl 8 red deer could ever make diamond
Lol
Remembering when I did my fallow great one grind, I was hating the spoon rack the entire time and making sure people knew I hated it only to get the spoon rack on a fabled hooded fur type
Karma truly did come right back around in an 18 wheeler and flatten me into the pavement lol
Hmm⦠Iām only missing a great one black bear atm. Should I try and do a grind to get it before the pop reset happens?
If you want, it maybe hard to do so
Lol, i've only successed in the bear grind. did fallow and moose and gave up
Also doesnāt help that the whole ājumping-zones respawnsā mechanic is very deterring
Fallow I can manage because I hit every single one of their zones in each run
But bears? With how many spots they can be at?
Doing the ibuy strate you just got to check once ever like 10 runs
and only the 2 lakes near it
I tried doing a few whitetail runs on Rev but I already have a handful of missing males
I just donāt wanna have to deal with these respawns jumping across the map
Does HM mitigate this mechanic whatsoever?
unsure
Hmm
they do that on rev?
Certainly
u gotta love a black bear which runs into his zone 5 minutes after it finishs
Iāve been playing a lot of WOTH and Classic as of late, but with a new GO on the horizon Iām keen to find out what it is
Lmao
Fe, cannot grasp WOTH at the moment, I find it to slow
I love the mechanics of the game
Herd management is an actual mechanic
Culling low genetic males, 5 stars and rares actually requiring a lot of patience to find consistently
It just speaks to me
But anyways
Fe, well im heading to be so cya later
Buh bye
I wanna get a GO huddle for fallow and whitetail + get another moose great one but man have those grinds been somewhat of a burnout
~2500 kills since my last moose GO, took me about 3500 kills to get the fallow GO and whitetail just seem unproductive atm
I just seem to have incredibly inconsistent luck with grinding in general
im going to complete next fallow huddle or next go red then hopefully we get the next new GO
š„³
Do you have a BB GO yet Ron?
Holy chit youāre alive
Iām getting this new one before you ong
Man⦠2 level 3s and a piebald spawn at same time in same zone and piebald isnāt even a gold š game hates me
pain
i got to 1100 kills then left it so no
one day i will
i mainly hunt what i enjoy now
Once is a sucky coincidence, twice in 3 runs is this game trying to piss me off š
Insane luck and insane bad luck at the same time
that's insane
Big boy down tho
With how little I play you just might lol
Iāve been pretty non-existent too
Took a break saying id come back for the December map, which yknowā¦
Turned out to be a little longer š
same lmao
I came back, got a typical rack wt, and went back to not playing lmao
oh yeah oli
from a month or two ago
Wonāt ever stop til I have that in my lodge š
I said the same thing but I don't think I'll ever stop, just take breaks
one day I won't come back to the game but that's probably not any time soon
I donāt think itās about stopping
COTW is a consistently fun game
Itās just easy to over-do it or let it get stale
especially with grinds
Doubly so with grinds
exactly
it's fun for like
My main games are Fortnite and WoW, this is just my side hobby really
2-4 hours maybe 4 days a week
I take probably 2-3 2 month breaks a year
at most
same
I come back to the game for a few weeks kinda like with minecraft or R6, I do it with gaming as a whole actually
Iāll check discord after a little while or see a social media post and get a itch to play again but Iām anything but consistent
yeah!
my game rotation is literally this and red dead lol
Same with me, I canāt ever play one game on any system for longer than a month of 2 consistently
maybe another game here and there
tho there has been times where I just hyperfocused on the game and played 14-18 hours a day for 2 weeks straight
can't do that anymore lol I have a job now
Same back when cotw first came out and I was still in school with no weekend job I remember playing for hours and hours and hours
Nothing like being unemployed and great one grinding
But that was also when getting a diamond was a super cool thing to do, now with grinding if it isnāt a super rare or G1 it doesnāt feel near as meaningful as it did back then
It does if itās a new map!
They havenāt released a map I was dying to play since rancho SRP tbh
exactly
it kinda sucks how we've desensitized ourselves to the cool trophies
even with a GO I'm just like "oh hey that's really cool"
if I saw a diamond I'd be literally SHAKING and get a rush of adrenaline just 3 years ago
Thatās crazy. Rev and EC are top 5 maps easilyyyyy
Really have, my best cotw memory ever is killing a max weight 1000 scoring whitetail the day truracs came out was almost as good as it got
big lakes and wacky respawns make it undesirable imo
I do all my WT grinding on rev but besides that itās eh to me, my top 5 are 1.SRP 2.Layton 3. Mississippi 4.Yukon 5.Rancho, if itās not a north American animal I probably donāt care about killing it tbh and before I get judgement on that I have no idea why because I really wish I was into the rest of the maps šš
that's why I mentioned the big lakes
I absolutely HATE big lakes for fun hunting
Never discount the fun you can have just setting up a class 1-9 load out and exploring
if they're too big to shoot across I'd rather just have a river
(which is probably why I like NEM so much)
My big hope for sundarpatan is that thereās less hoof species
Once I get my typical rack Iām going to try and force myself back into fun hunting this game like the old days, for some reason I always come back to WT grinding for that typical rack
paws and claws?
And wings!
Sundarpatan actually has me excited, the thought of tiger/leopard hunting an environment like that sounds fun
real
Could you imagine they rigged up AI for tru-spots/stripes
Thatād take too much work tbf
But it would be cool
Iām a big waterfowl guy especially since the labs came in, if they can give us some more duck species Iād really like to get into hunting them and maybe find a good group from discord to do it the way we do it irl
they'd never need to update the game again
fix the bugs and do that and boom it cannot get better
Iād really love to see that
That and make it to where the big cats can climb trees, would be epic
Who knows honestly
Whatever the cat is, itās prime great one material
And Iām stoked
Even if thatās many updates away
I think thatās the direction it goes tbh and Iām super excited for it, all of jaxys little subtle comments lead me to think itāll be whatever big cat they are highlighting in that teaser
Beautiful. I want a typical rack so bad
Imagine a Lion and Tiger muitimount
You know honestly
Itās not really feasible rn
But if we had gotten a great one with the labs
I think it wouldāve kept people around longer
Thereād be a few species that wouldnāt need as much love and attention, like a jack rabbit g1 wouldnāt need a million combos or furs
Theyāve given us some good DLCs but tbh they only stay shiny for about a week
If a week
Thatās just how sandbox games work
Give tools, expect them to become uninteresting but useful, rinse repeat
Weāre like toddlers who need constant new toys to stay calm lol
They couldāve dropped one in without telling us what it is again, wouldāve been so well received
The only class 1 animal I would like G1 would be Turkey
problem is those are damn near impossible to grind and not really desired so they probably won't do that for a while
I like those much better then them telling us and showcasing, discord just goes crazy and itās so much fun
Yeah just a thought
I think the biggest challenge EW faces with this game
they have appealed to such a large audience they literally cannot please everyone
Banded waterfowl/geese/upland fowl wouldāve been a perfect feature to drop with the lab imo
Thatās also its biggest strength
100%
Iād never kill an animal irl but I love this game
its biggest strength and biggest drawback
I also have never hunted irl but I still love to play this game realistically sometimes
But I think youāre also discounting the fact that the past year the teams really shifted on a lot
Yeah groups of people are getting exactly what they want at a time and everyone else is excited about it for a little while
Endangered species are on the table
Non base map great ones
Weāre going in a bold new direction
hopefully it's not too late
Itās been a while since Iāve been in my lodge
just give me a wolf GO
I will say if they do abandon endangered rules entirely I still hope they keep up the education part in the campaigns
I donāt think itās too late, if they can just blow everyone away this year it might be as good as itās ever been
Oh my god my 300+ piebald moose I completely forgot about him
i think it would be something that i grind tf out of
hopefully!
I don't want this game to die
I was jealous haha
If itās axis deer or feral goat we get as the next GO Iāll be guaranteed happy
The only thing I donāt want is blacktail or mule
I donāt even see how it could, I think theyād have to completely run out of things to do before the community would let it die
See Iād absolutely love blacktail or mule
But also wouldnāt be angry at axis or wolf
tbh i wouldnāt mind a feral goat GO that much
I spotted him through brush and was just happy I had a new PB but then he walked out and was a goddamned piebald I lost my mind
You'd probably get a Feral Goat Great one before you get a diamond
š
I do hope we get something that isn't antlered honestly
lynx
I think the odds of that are good
horns or paws is what I'm hoping for
The steam emoji was by accident
I love antlered and horned species so if itās another deer I wouldnāt be too upset
REAL!!!!
same but I want more variety ngl
they could put lynx on the new map if itās nepal
CEASE THESE FORSAKEN CURSED CHANTS
lmao
Oh Oli
iād prefer wolf tbh
but i might be able to put up with a lynx GO
Oh I figured it out day one lol
Wolf would be amazing
Messed up ngl
Ah CRAP!
LMAO
I get to bring out my roots š£ļø
:3
Lmao
When will we get .17 HMR >:(
Shouldāve had that instead of .22H imo
too many guns not enough calibers
ALSO REAL
Iād really like a bigger compound before another gun
please stop giving us more guns with the same caliber
Or a better crossbow
and a slingshot
Ehh
Slingshots I donāt really see being added tbh
if we get tiger i think itāll be a 375
Give us a horizon zero dawn blastslinger
railgun even
Screw it, full on rotary 40mm grenade launcher
Nah weāre being too lame give us the ability to call down a quasar onto our animals for an instant population reset (and terrain flattening)
Give me 10rd mags for the ARs Iāll be happy š
I find myself reloading after every shot or two anyway a 5 round mag is fine for me
Muscle memory from CoD lol
feck it spawn a neutron star and incinerate everything
small unstable blackhole
Unless they felt the need to add a meta breaking gun that can do everything or have a huge huge mag, then id rather they put resources into animals and tertiary items
same
Iām getting better at being accuracy if I can learn to reload more often Iād be fine with them too
we have enough guns really
I hope we get a lodge soon. Itās been sincerely too long since weāve had a full size lodge
just fix the weird ballistics and add more animals/variety to the existing animals
Agreed, if theyād have made that Layton lodge the size of saseka it wouldāve been perfect
Way of the Hunter has spoiled me rotten with lodge size and quality lol
new lodge is needed desperately
Truth
Iād really like to see improvements to the truracs, they give us more racks but still not a lot of disparity once you get into the gold and diamond sizes
Wanna know a fun fact? Saseka has almost twice the square footage of Spring Creek Manor yet you canāt even place an extra 10 animals in it. I believe it only has two more platforms and 5 more wall plaques
or make a dlc expansion of it so you unlock the rest of the lodge and can place whatever wherever
if they were to dlc it
yeah but it feels WAY more open
I hate spring creek cuz it feels too cramped
Exactly, would be perfect
I hugely dislike how poorly used the space available is
Iām fine with Spring Creek being the way it is, it feels just big enough
Spring creek is cramped but looks so good
Now youāre talking
I like the style it and WOTH lodges have, space is incredibly effectively used
I mean the halls and rooms are too narrow honestly
Classic too
My dream MY ABSOLUTE DREAM
it's hard to actually look at the animals from all angles
If they widened things up and gave us more distance from the floor to the ceiling it would be perfect lol
god I dearly miss the lodge glitch.
Is a museum with a platform for every species m/f and a platform for g1 if they have one
If they would give us the lodge glitch but as an actual customization feature it would help loads
I want a huddle for every species tbh. Would be great for everyone
same, I still have my old glitched trophies up in my main lodge
never getting rid of them
Or just make the sizing more appropriate. Red deer can fit on large plaques but elk can, elk can fit on large platforms but red deer canāt. How tf does that work when reds are noticeable smaller
Gemsbok fit very comfortably on medium plaques
or like
Thereās so many things I want them to do and only so much they can do at 1 time and thatās probably how 100% of the rest of the community feels too
add a suggestion message when placing an animal on a previously too small plaque
Possibilities on things to do with this game might just be endless
"plaque may be too small for animal
continue | cancel"
they need to redo what animals can fit where
no reason why say something like hog deer shouldnāt be able to go on smaller plaques
exactly
or just, like I said, allow them to fit on any plaque but give a warning if they're probably too big
that could work within reason too
or limit the poses based on the mount size
like wall mounts sized down would only allow for euro mounts
imagine a bison on the smallest plaques
that was a possibility....
I have a wild boar and a few coyotes on the smallest floor mounts
just laying on the table
which works well
average kills for go black bear is about 1500-2000 right?
honestly for bear i would say that there really is no average
they seem to be all over the place
at least in my own experience
Cant really consider average for a GO being its no set spawn and its different for everyone
I just got Hm finished today! 2463 kills!!!!!
Good luck
Man that diamond piebald moose....
.
Where at?
This
Time for some more bears.
BIGMALE!
Dime #41 | Total kills 4250 | Kills on grind #4 1033
Is it worth it to go from herd management back to just shooting everything to maximize the amount of kills I can get? My goal is just to get the go at this point I could not care less for diamonds.
Honestly you might be better off finding a bunch of zones and shooting them like that off a different map then you have your Hm setup if you are very deep into Hm
Decided to just shoot animals to try for a G1 once and regretted it a lot when I had to reset HM
Im not planning to ever grind red deer again after this one (almost 9000 kills in)
Stay with HM
