[rigid perch]

It really isn't, it takes a bit of time to set up but it's not difficult at all

[next arrow]

I might DM if that's okay, I'm really having trouble understanding

[rigid perch]

Once you get them shot down it's pretty easy

[iron valve]

I believe ibuy has a video explaining it

[rigid perch]

No worries 👍

[polar wind]

do you HM your bears?

[rigid perch]

Yea he does , it would probably help more watching that lol,

[next arrow]

Yeah probably

[rigid perch]

You need to shoot level 5 and up , I didn't stack 9s as soon as they spawn I drop em

[polar wind]

okay cool

[woven basalt]

Why small makes will they only respawn small?

Sry I got a lot of questions

First bear grind

Im 74kills in
2 diamonds
2rares

[rigid perch]

You need to get all the big males on your map onto those 4 lakes ,as you rotate on the big males you will have the odd level 4 or lower respawn on your mains , just shoot it and continue rotating, if you continue to get small bears respawning on your mains it usually means you have bouncers and need to check your exteriors

[woven basalt]

What in the… huh

Do this is nothing like fallow grinding

[polar wind]

uhh yeah

[woven basalt]

Tonight’s gonna be a long night of hm

[rigid perch]

No bears are different ad the are solo's and jump from zone to zone on the 4 lakes , and hence bounce more than any of the other g1 species

[remote berry]

Which of the 2 would yall say has consistently lower number till a G1?

[rigid perch]

It will take while to get your bears shot down , eventually you will only have 8 / 10 big bears on you map , once you get to this point it's pretty much farming g1s and dimes lol

[woven basalt]

In editors or mains

[rigid perch]

They are all completely random , but Glazier is definitely the most common g1 for me and maybe spirit

[remote berry]

Oh I was asking if you felt getting a fallow G1 or a bear G1 was easier with lower kills required

As your list of bears being mostly under 1000 got me curious

[woven basalt]

It’s all random

[remote berry]

I've been doing a fallow grind and am at around 1k and it's painful after the update

[rigid perch]

Sorry misunderstood, I currently only have the 1 fallow g1 773 kills I'm 330 kills into my 2nd fallow grind

[remote berry]

Your amount of kills for your bear G1s nearly all are under 1k kills till you got one I was just wondering if they consistently appear in under 1k kills for you

[remote berry]

Ik but their list all being 1k had me curious

[woven basalt]

I thought the same and mine ended up being 400 fir my g1 fallow so it’s all random

[tiny kestrel]

It really do be random, some people are just inherently lucky

My shortest grind was 303 kills, my longest was just under 9800 kills

[rigid perch]

Yea they were all pretty short in fairness, but I did get my bears shot down in the 1st grind which made the rest a lot easier

[remote berry]

Sheesh mines just been Been painful after the update. Not just the spawn times are different for me I've been having entire herds just stop showing entirely after the patch

[tiny kestrel]

Hey rq, what map are you grinding bears on?

[rigid perch]

I'm shooting my 8 main zones on my fallow, I pulled some of my collection tents and run to collect them since the update ( just to make the rotation a little longer) wen I finish the rotation I go to the 1st tent again reset the time and fast travel the tent I'm actually in , it seems to work for me , I do have the odd herd that might not be there I just skip it and come back

[rigid perch]

SRP

[woven basalt]

For bears may I get a list on how to herd manage them what to do first. And so on

[rigid perch]

If you check out YouTube ibuys video is very helpful and might explain it better, if it doesn't you can drop me a DM and I can try help

[woven basalt]

Ok Ty

[rigid perch]

No worries 👍

[remote berry]

I've had like 3 or 4 herds of 8-15ish fallow vanish after a rotation without any hunting pressure

[rigid perch]

Try leaving those 3 / 4 herds till last on your rotations, see if that makes any difference 🤷‍♂️. I've had that happen with one herd but not that many

[solid anchor]

my srp is full of 4s from the pop reset

couple of 1s in there too iirc

[remote berry]

I'll try it next time I hope on thank you!

[woven basalt]

One last question do I just hm as usual keeping my main lakes to 5s and above and my exteriors too4 and belies and how many shooters should I have in the 4 lakes

[gritty tendon]

this tahr needs to spawn

3.4k in a week is too many for it to not have popped

horrible rng

[normal canyon]

And my 1st one took 3k 😭

[uncut tree]

Found one my map from grinding for g1 moose

[rigid perch]

You should start with around 18/20 big bears after swapping your females and small males out

[umbral cobalt]

Beautiful as it may be. Modded trophy’s mean nothing to me

[prisma cove]

aight imma give this update on more chance and I will reinstall

for the ones who kept grinding

how are the respawns?

[umbral cobalt]

Annoying 15 minutes for them the respawn

I don’t recommend returning

[fresh sinew]

I spent 2 hours yesterday waiting for a fallow to respawn

[ivory pond]

In a multilplayer tho?

[ivory pond]

W

[fresh sinew]

Not W in the slightest

[ivory pond]

Yes

My tahr respawn

Cuz i never updated my game🥱

[prisma cove]

oh

aight then

cancelling the download

[umbral cobalt]

Smart

[fresh sinew]

Lil B.tch

[tardy stream]

Why do I feel like bears are going to take about 4 hours to respawn..

Specially only doing 4 lakes.

[ivory pond]

Work smarter not harder🤷

[ivory pond]

Surprisingly i heard they arent too bad they are a lil slow but respawn for the most part

[tardy stream]

Good, well maybe I will go back to bear as I didn't grind that much tahr

[fresh sinew]

Bears are really easy

[deep terrace]

Fallow are taking 20 mins for respawns
Red deer are taking 10-15 mins
Whitetail are 30+ mins
Bear dident change to much
Moose same as always crappy
Tahr not gonna even attempt any more

[pliant oak]

i just shot one fallow waited 15 mins then it was back

so yeah 15 - 20 mins seems consistant

whitetail for some reason taking longer

[pliant oak]

number 377

[deep terrace]

White tail is way longer I almost had 45 min wait

[fresh sinew]

Bers are the only viable grind for now

[deep terrace]

Yea tbh

Fallow is ok if u have a lot to shoot n just run n pick up ur kills but still a lot slower

[fresh sinew]

Fallow is not good if you have advanced HM up

[deep terrace]

Facts

[pliant oak]

so just been grinding reds and fallows

fallows all respawned back some of the reds not

30 minutes grinding reds

[dusky needle]

How bad are the tiger respawns now

[pliant oak]

tigers arent bad infact...guess what i just shot....a super rare tiger

🥳

will be in todays video...😁

also i havent moved my tents for tigers so some locations tents are on top of the tiger zone and you still can drop on em and shoot em

just did it with a few mythicals

[deep terrace]

Just got a G1 🤙🏼👀😏 this update might be ok I guess

[dusky needle]

Well that’s good that tigers aren’t bad cause I still need some pelts

[fresh sinew]

Damn

[tribal hull]

Which species?

[deep terrace]

Taking some pics of this fallow it’s nothing crazy but post update g1 is cool

[lavish lagoon]

Moose grind works really good

My run is about 13min long and everytime when i start new run animals are back :)))

All works how i want👌

[pliant oak]

i just timed reds and my reds wernt back

even after 30 minutes

not back on fallow hopefully they are back after i done my fallow runs

[deep terrace]

112 kills after my last one 🤙🏼 First hooded 3rd saw rack

[fresh sinew]

Solo?

[deep terrace]

Yes a solo zone

First time out of my 7 fallow that a solo zone gave me a g1 kinda crazy

[fresh sinew]

Damn, 3 out of my first 4 were solos

[echo fulcrum]

I’m back guys remember me

[bleak pond]

yes i miss you

[echo fulcrum]

Yeah I got a time out for a day

[pliant oak]

number 10 and 11 back to back of the 9th grind

lets see what respawns...

[bleak pond]

my main zones are filled with 2’s 💔

[daring kernel]

First time seeing a non max weight estimate 8 mythical tiger

[compact cargo]

Yes very great one💪

[pliant oak]

so from doing red deer runs and fallows after. my red deer took over 30 minutes to respawn.

finished my fallow deer run with 3 kills 2 diamonds and a 4 and 15 mins after last collected all were back as respawns

so red deer do take longer than fallows for some reason

[lavish lagoon]

How everyone have ”cooldowns” on their grinds🤔 my moose works really good and i think they dont have cooldown.

[bleak pond]

i don’t i just do what i did and i get instant respawns.

[lavish lagoon]

Yeah me to i have instant respawns too

[fresh sinew]

I spent 2 hours yesterday waiting for a fallow to show up...

So it's not going well for me

[lavish lagoon]

😂😂😂

[rigid perch]

Black bear respawn after 15 minutes, I killed 25 bear between 6.00 and 7.50 and my lakes were empty, reset the time to 6.00 and still empty, so I've been shooting elk for 15 mins real time then setting in game time back to 6.00 and all respawns are ther

[pliant oak]

nice to know thanks !

good to hear black bear are working fine.

number 12

[unique rampart]

I grinded my whitetail on rev for 4 hours straight then I started getting almost no respawns so I quit for the evening then today it should start back up, right?

[rigid perch]

No worries 👍. Makes it a bit slower but still grindable

[pliant oak]

my fallows are fine can literally grind them normal

my reds seem a little inconsistant but going to test them over the next few days just shoot one or two then waiting in game

just done two reds and its been 20 minutes since collection

so will go back in in a minute see if they respawned back

[rigid perch]

Yea I've been grinding them since the update for g1 no.2 I just pulled 3 pick up tents and walk to pick up my fallow and everything is running smoothly, currently at 330 kills

[crude spindle]

Did you get your tahr?

[deep terrace]

Not gonna touch them since the update screwed them

[crude spindle]

Real

They’re too hard now

[deep terrace]

Can’t even get close enough to see them with out the running

[rigid perch]

Black bear g1 #23 .. so close to max score

[blazing grove]

He's pretty 😍

[fresh sinew]

It Don't get closer than that

[pliant oak]

congrats

also if anyone has a great one they want filming and on PC let me know i will gladly film it for you if its convienant

😉

so happy about this new super rare tiger !! 🥳

dreams of a albino or mela one next

[tiny iron]

Impressed and panicked if you missed it

[next arrow]

Oh, amazing

[solid anchor]

modded L

[rigid perch]

You sure don't lol

[rigid perch]

They only take 15 mins, do your full rotation 6.00/8.00 and wen your done or you've ran out of bears reset the time and shoot elk for 15 mins ( real time) once the 15 mins are up reset the time and start rotating on your bears again

[rigid perch]

Thanks man 👍

[forest dirge]

Quick question for my fallow grind should I shoot twos on my main lakes when they get managed

I am using hm

[wet dew]

I'm having trouble getting my bears to the four lakes, any tips?

or maybe they just arent there yet but who knows

[tardy stream]

Okay

[echo fulcrum]

Tank64

@bleak pond

<@&393042322499305473>

[rigid perch]

You need to swap them with the females and small males that are already on your 4 lakes, kill 2 or 3 females on your main lakes and leave them on the ground, go out to your exterior lakes and find 2 or 3 big males , shoot and harvest them then return to the main lakes and collect the female and reset the time , once they respawn they should have swapped, repeat the process until all those females and small males are gone off your mains leaving only your big ones there

[echo fulcrum]

<@&393042322499305473>

[bleak pond]

anyone now what i should do ? i have 2’a in my main shooting zone for fallow. @deep terrace told me to shoot my stacked 5’s (solos) and 2’s out my main shooting zones and see what happens all in the same one. i have about 12 diamonds all together stacked.

i’m just lost atp

[forest dirge]

I’m confused about the same thing I don’t know if I should shoot the 2’s from my main zones. The twos are causing come of my main zones to not be having any animals shot

[bleak pond]

right.

[deep terrace]

I’ve always shot 2s in my main shooting zones

[bleak pond]

ok

in the same go or no ?

[fresh sinew]

Another?

[forest dirge]

I’m doing a fallow grind if that’s what your asking

[fresh sinew]

2 questions: Why? And How?

[bleak pond]

same

shoot yours and tell me if it works

[forest dirge]

Alr imma see

[bleak pond]

lmk bc im to deep to f up

or if i do ill cry

[crude spindle]

IN THIS ECONOMY?

[forest dirge]

I just started my second fallow grind

[bleak pond]

same

[fresh sinew]

What he said^

[crude spindle]

Getting a tahr sounds Herculean atm

[fresh sinew]

I've seen too many g1 tahr after the update

[north nova]

But what we are learning is that they can be ground still

[fresh sinew]

Somehow

[forest dirge]

I’m using the same grind from my first but it was not managed all the way when I had got my first so I don’t know but because I just started imma test it

[acoustic cedar]

Whoop whoop now you, me and Flinter all have grey boissssss 🖤 congratulations!!

[real radish]

Not many GO since update dropped lol

[daring kindle]

Cheater

[heavy vortex]

Cause a lot of people just decided to stop

💁

[real radish]

I don’t really know why they decided to nerf the grinding on a 7 year old game lol like who cares, just let people have fun

[fresh sinew]

There's been more than expected

[thorny wraith]

Ohh that's gorgeous I haven't played in a while What animal is that??

Can I give a name request

[daring kindle]

Yes

[somber turret]

Maple so I know who hell you are again

[daring kindle]

No

[edgy summit]

It was not originally made for grinding. Players found an old bug I reported in 2019 and everyone after that thought it was way the game was designed. EW holds some of the blame, because they took forever to address it.

[daring kindle]

I want to be “hungry hungry hippos”

[fresh sinew]

lol

[real radish]

Yeah and now a lot of people stopped playing their loss

[somber turret]

[edgy summit]

Maybe they will learn from it and not let it happen again.

[daring kindle]

PLEASE

[thorny wraith]

Thank U

[bleak pond]

soo someone just told me grinding is cheating 😭

[fresh sinew]

Whas up fishman

[heavy vortex]

💔 what

[daring kindle]

How

[fresh sinew]

Real

[somber turret]

Tell them they're a dumbass

[edgy summit]

No
It's a different way to play. No one is cheating if the publisher allows it in the game.

[daring kindle]

Guys

Wanna watch my Fortnite clip

[fresh sinew]

no

[somber turret]

Imma ban you

[daring kindle]

Change my name 😐

[daring kindle]

🤧

[bleak pond]

i’ll show you hold up

[real radish]

I mean the game was designed to grind because animals have drink zones that they need to obey, its an Arcady game the grind is just 3x slower now and not worth going for GO which is the point of the game

[bleak pond]

lmao

[real radish]

If they didn’t want to have a Grundy game they shouldn’t have had drink times and made it like classic

[fresh sinew]

He's just a dumbass

[somber turret]

You don't even have to grind to get a diamond he's just a noob

[bleak pond]

had me rolling laughing i’m not finna lie

[fresh sinew]

Does he likee run around in circles?

[bleak pond]

well yeah lol but when you grind blah blah blah you know how it is

[daring kindle]

Fr fr

[crude spindle]

I’ve never found a diamond comments are so funny to me

[wet dew]

Weirdo

[somber turret]

@daring kindle

[fresh sinew]

LMAOOOO

[daring kindle]

YES

Good enough

I’m undercover

[fresh sinew]

Change your pfp

Too recognizable

[edgy summit]

When the GO came in the game. I can promise you ew never thought about players grinding. At the current time, the most popular way was to run around hit every track and when you hit a max weight track it. So as tye game got more poplar, players started discovering new ways to hunt them, even with this tent bug became a favorite. So it forced there hand in addressing the bug. They didn't all of a sudden say let make a lot players mad, and change the game away from the core of the game intent.

[daring kindle]

I did

@fresh sinew

[fresh sinew]

The tents are not the issue

[crude spindle]

Better than the AI fox Fr

[fresh sinew]

W

[daring kindle]

Fr fr

[crude spindle]

How does it feel to have a soul again?

[daring kindle]

I’m undercover

[wet dew]

nope it the respawns for sure

[fresh sinew]

This is the best version of the tents so far

I just wish that the change didn't apply to outposts as well

[wet dew]

yup

tents are just fine now

[crude spindle]

This

[edgy summit]

Even with the new respawn. If you did 2 animals in a rotation. There is no issues, enough time passes. The only problem now, is players are just hunting a small amount of zones and not giving enough time for the respawning. There again, ew didn't develop this game in the attempt to only hunting a quarter of the map.

[wet dew]

Well it's the only way to get animals that are so unique that they spent time developing for a year or more and Grinding is now a playstyle people enjoy so get over it being a game there's only one way to play.

[crude spindle]

At some point we need to have that great one discussion gang

[fresh sinew]

I kill about 16 WT each run i do, when i finish my run the respawns are still not there

[edgy summit]

Long ago in 2018 or 19, there was a bug if a animal came within 200m of a outpost. They would freeze and u could walk up to them and kill them. So players were just hitting the callers from the outpost and have animals come in and freeze. That's why there is a fix for the outpost.

[crude spindle]

Me personally I kinda want to let EW figure it out themselves but they asked for feedback so…

[modern dune]

yeah it being applied to outposts too is dumb; might actually a bug come to think of it since they only ever mentioned it as a tent change

[fresh sinew]

That was in 2019... Not now

[woven basalt]

Nice try maple

[fresh sinew]

Just have it as it was pre sundar

It was perfect the way it was

[edgy summit]

I'm just pointing out why they did the outpost. Some were alone the way there must have been a bug on that fix. So they went in and fix it too with the tents.

[daring kindle]

Who

[fresh sinew]

Btw you know you can change your own name

Apparently not

[crude spindle]

Maple got aid from the feds

[fresh sinew]

There wasn't any bug tho

[modern dune]

No that's not why outposts are effected, that bug hasn't shown up in at least 4 years and isn't among the roster of returning bugs that came with this update.

The outposts being affected is either one of the dumbest decisions in the history of hunting games or a complete bug. Animals have been able to traverse through outposts freely and be caled towards them without freezing for years.

[bleak pond]

omfg i just pissed off the cotw fb page 😳

[fresh sinew]

lol

[modern dune]

it's an FB page that's par for the course

[somber turret]

That probably don't take much to do it's Facebook

[edgy summit]

EW some where along the lines, said hey this is getting to far from the core of the game and put all hands on a reform. It was not a decision on a pole or anything else. It was to get back to the original make of the game.
U have to look, they're receiving competition for realism. This game use to follow that a lot closer then it has in the Las couple of years.

[crude spindle]

Cotw Facebook and Reddit are very sensitive

[edgy summit]

Do u really think any gaming company is going to tell you about every bug in their game?? No one mentioned it so they let it sleep.

[somber turret]

Cotw reddit is freaking hilarious right now with all the memes

[modern dune]

Where's the realism competition though? WOTH has a lot of equally arcadey features and despite its realism managed to shoot itself in the foot and become unpopular. The only real competition it may have is that one game that's been in development by that small group of Polishn devs for like 3 years now (Ultimate Hunting?)

[crude spindle]

Hilarious cause the memes are funny or that they’re crying? Or both?

[somber turret]

Funny

[fresh sinew]

The main criticism i see for WOTH is that it's too slow...

[somber turret]

Both sides the table just roasting the hell out of each other with them

[fresh sinew]

lol

[modern dune]

No I don't expect them to inform us of every bug but definitely major ones.

As far as it not being mentioned, the bug never happened. I've played the game on and off for the last 5 years and I never saw the bug recur. Also never saw anybody mention it happening after it was fixed in 2019.

The fast travel spook radius being applied to outposts is either a bug or them being sneaky.

[crude spindle]

Funny Fr, but not productive for all the chit we’ve had to hear the last two weeks lol

[edgy summit]

I'm sure ultimate hunting is going to have arcade features too. U have to put them in because the average gamer is not going to play a game for hours with very little reward. Woth tried it and they got backlash from it.

[somber turret]

Few I've took (none y'all better get pissy over them)

[heavy vortex]

BAHAHAAH I SAW THE SECONF ONE

[modern dune]

That's exactly my point; realism only goes so far with hunting games and I just don't see how competition in realism is going to threaten COTW in any way.

[crude spindle]

Memes themselves fine but those comment sections were rough on Reddit

[fresh sinew]

That first one is so real lmao

[modern dune]

straight-up yeh, some folks get super pressed when you say you grind or ground at any point

[modern dune]

Reddit Moment

[crude spindle]

It’s all dumb

Play how you want

Idk why people clutch their pearls so hard on grinding

[somber turret]

Classic is cotw only real competition at the moment woth is slowly cutting its own legs off I personally don't believe anything was done with anything because of competition in mind

The only thing cotw could do that involves woth is increase render distance

[edgy summit]

All I was trying to say, they are trying to appear they are getting back to their vision for the game. Please don't take me wrong, ew has a lot to be blamed for, but imo they're trying to address some of the issues they see from their orginal plans.

[fresh sinew]

Fishy take a look in trophies for a sec plz

[modern dune]

Well I suppose them changing things to fit creative vision is valid, but it's definitely not the original plans.

The whole dev team has been turned over/replaced in the last 4-5 years, so it's more like new visdion replacing the old and so far I'm not liking it because of the deluge of new & old bugs.

[crude spindle]

The stats are interesting when you line them up

[modern dune]

If only the engine could handle it; then we could get decently realistic ballistics

[wet dew]

I like to grind it fun for me

[fresh sinew]

[bleak pond]

L admins

bro said he would like to do stuff called him out on it 💔

[fresh sinew]

um...........................................

[granite oracle]

What even happened

To start that

[somber turret]

Woth record is cotw daily high in a low time

[bleak pond]

so old head said some stuff. so i said some stuff back and i did even use the p word.

[somber turret]

I like to grind because it's only damn way I can get cool things safely

[crude spindle]

Real

[fresh sinew]

this^

[granite oracle]

Oh

[crude spindle]

Yeah maybe don’t do that?

[solid anchor]

i like to grind even though i get pissed off because my respawns r butt

[somber turret]

[wet dew]

same

[granite oracle]

What map should I hunt on

[fresh sinew]

Parque

[next arrow]

Do we know how the hell people are getting tents on the side of the rocky slope on SRP on one of the four lakes? Chit doesn't wanna place and I see everyone having it placed there-

[fresh sinew]

I just got lucky

[granite oracle]

Nice I really like that one

[next arrow]

Ibuys video is essentially pitch effing black and I can't see chit

[somber turret]

Like if I didn't have to grind you bet your ass I wouldn't but it's the only way to make progress and I'm a collection addict and I want everything

[somber turret]

Really really carefully

[bleak pond]

maybe people shouldn’t take this game like it’s life or death and tell people that the will be the next ?

[somber turret]

It took me like 15 minutes

[fresh sinew]

Took me about 2

[granite oracle]

I feel you on that

[next arrow]

Noticed XD

[granite oracle]

What is your dream trophy

[somber turret]

We know your advantage enhancers you use on supers probably use on tents to

[fresh sinew]

):

[next arrow]

I grind because grinding itself provides me immense satisfaction, I mostly played WoW in my youth so yeah, grinding is a big part of games I play

[granite oracle]

For me it’s either melenistic kangaroo or albino lion

[fresh sinew]

-8724.131 and -12451.056

Try those coords

[fresh sinew]

Melanistic cinnamon teal

[crude spindle]

There is no situation when discussing cotw you need to ever call someone a name let alone the p word

[lofty plume]

Well the tent placement for the spot on the small set of lakes there changed anyways.

[granite oracle]

That’s a good one

[next arrow]

Yeah, plus it's a video pre-time swap so it's gonna be dark

[lofty plume]

for sure. I need to make an updated one.

[next arrow]

That would quite literally make my hair stop turning grey XD

[fresh sinew]

Light brown meriams suck

[bleak pond]

considering he was talking about my pp and saying i’m next don’t concern anyone tho just the p word right ? right

[fresh sinew]

[north nova]

the first and last made me BATMN

[granite oracle]

What is a good weapon for class 2-4?

[lofty plume]

.243

[fresh sinew]

243

[granite oracle]

Thank you

[somber turret]

Rare wise
Hybrid unique model goldeneye
Leucistic eastern Turkey
Albino water buffalo
Hybrid graylag
Albino tufted
Albino bobwhite
Albino green wing
Piebald black buck
Piebald nilgai
Lots more

[lofty plume]

i would say its the best 2-3 weapon. At class 4, you have so many more options.

[fresh sinew]

💤

[crude spindle]

My dream rare is one I don’t have to put time into

[fresh sinew]

Or you can run 22h and 44 lever action

[somber turret]

22-250

[next arrow]

Hehe man/woman/enby with bird name want bird trophies

[fresh sinew]

Only 1 trophy... Read the rules, jeez

[somber turret]

I swear you've never used it because it's flat shooting weighs less and nearly has the same power as the 243

[fresh sinew]

I use it in my multi loadout

[modern dune]

I've considered taking it to rancho or NEM with the .22H for varmint hunting

[granite oracle]

I forgot I’m broke rn

5k

Ima kill like 2 deers

[fresh sinew]

Can't relate

only IRL

[somber turret]

If I could donate to the poor I would

[fresh sinew]

Real

[granite oracle]

One time like 10 boars glitched witch was like 7k but 10g ain’t cheap

And I can’t take the L to a tiger

[fresh sinew]

10ga as in the shotgun?

[granite oracle]

Yea

[fresh sinew]

It's a dlc weapon

It's free

[granite oracle]

I started carrying it for self defence

[fresh sinew]

Dayum slugs are 950

[granite oracle]

Yea it’s pricey

Rn I’m running the malmer 7mm and the virent 22

Ima hunt water foul cause I can’t find anything in parque

[somber turret]

What are you going to shoot 2s and 3s with?

[granite oracle]

The 22 250

I just need some cash

[crude spindle]

<@&393042322499305473> bye bye

[bleak pond]

i just clicked the link 🙏

[heavy vortex]

No wat

[next arrow]

I got it down but it did in fact cost one controller

[fresh sinew]

Y????

[next arrow]

Well

I got agitated and threw it

And it clipped the edge of my desk and literally exploded

[fresh sinew]

I know about your slight anger issues

But leik brehhh

[next arrow]

It was an accident tbh

[fresh sinew]

Not an accident you threw it

[next arrow]

I meant to throw it down but I missed the desk itself and hit the corner

[next arrow]

Technically it was both, I was throwing it because I've been trying to put a tent down for an hour butttt, I didn't exactly mean for it to crumble like paper

[fresh sinew]

Lmao

[next arrow]

It wasn't my PS5 controller thankfully it was my "rage controller" which is an older controller that I use to take my anger out on

Well, used I guess

[somber turret]

[fresh sinew]

You meant to cause harm butt not thaaaaaaaattt much

[next arrow]

Yeah pretty much

[next arrow]

Accurate

I just realized I have to put down the tripod too

Damnit

[wary mason]

Nah mate

You underestimate bipolar rage

[next arrow]

I'm gonna have a stroke

A beaver just took down

The tent

I judt

Placed.

[pliant oak]

always carry a spare tent never have a issue again

[somber turret]

Or spare 30

[pliant oak]

i always carry one 30 would be a struggle

wheel barrow dlc confirmed

[next arrow]

Yeah I think I will

After I get back on

[somber turret]

As long as you have a tent you have everything with you

[solid anchor]

i always carry a tent

and still have space for like 4 guns

[scenic quiver]

I've yet to have a beaver take down my tent but one place where I put a treestand got taken down like 3 times.

[wise stream]

I just spawned a whitetail that is 272-313 estimate

[solid anchor]

Dayum

[next arrow]

Screenshot once ya kill it, it might be MW/MS

[next arrow]

Massive, most definitely tax worthy

Almost a MW/MS

[wise stream]

Yeah

Piebald

[vapid escarp]

5th tahr Great one, and 1st one after the patch 🤣 felt like an eternity with how slow the grind feels now.. annnd why? I like the furs and this one I haven’t gotten yet. ❤️

[vapid escarp]

He’s so pretty 😭 just difficult

[fresh sinew]

Well... Fair enough

[remote berry]

Anyone know how to place the tent on the rocky area of the top left lake of 4 lakes on silver ridge?

[fresh sinew]

Go to around these coords and try placing the tent down

[fresh sinew]

^

[remote berry]

TYSMMM

I spent like 10 min trying out the coordinates from lady's set up guide and couldn't get them working for the life of me

[tardy stream]

Bear grind begins

[terse wyvern]

I gave up on my tahr again lol 7 days console is out so Imma be busy for awhile

[bleak pond]

how many main shooting zones should i have ?

[pliant oak]

there is no number

[bleak pond]

okay so let me put it this way, all my zones have lvl 2’s and i have about 12 solos that are 5’s and high 4’s what should i do

[remote berry]

Yep black bear seem to have the shortest respawn time after the update so I think imma give them a go instead of fallow

[bleak pond]

honestly think the response time difffers for everyone. my fallows or instant i heard bears and moose or fine it’s just tahr and wt.

[remote berry]

Yea my fallows take like 30 min or more or entire herds dissappear from their zone even though I didn't shoot a single one

[woven basalt]

Absolutely the best map and you can’t change my mind, found him during the bear grind and ended up getting the best photo

[bleak pond]

wait what ?!? i mean my don’t always show up and i do the 1 minute trick, and my respawns are instant

[wet dew]

I like grinding tho

[fresh sinew]

Only 3000?

Rookie numbers

[gritty tendon]

going 3.5k on my current tahr grind rn

hopefully it pops soon

[pine phoenix]

6 or 7

[bleak pond]

okay so let me put it this way, all my zones have lvl 2’s and i have about 12 solos that are 5’s and high 4’s what should i do

[pine phoenix]

Shoot em

[bleak pond]

even the 2’s ?

[scenic quiver]

Lady has 2 tahr great ones on her map now. 2nd one just spawned in during stream. Crazy.

Just seen her doing the 1 minute trick too and they were instant.

[pliant oak]

you mean with the tripod

[modern dune]

Got this fella as my first Great One just a few minutes ago. I had taken a break from grinding my Te Awaora setup at around 650 to 670 kills about a week ago to hunt Rancho and I came back to find this as a respawn.

[wary mason]

Wanted to play hunter, then proceeded to remember it's hunter

[crude spindle]

Unrecognizable

[scenic quiver]

Oh hell yeah!!!! Killer man!!! Congrats!!

[modern dune]

Thanks!!

[scenic quiver]

I'll get there one day. I've done pretty good on the diamonds in the last 2 days. Got a fallow, an axis, a lion and just got my 3rd diamond croc.

[lofty crater]

First great one

30ish kills

[torpid vigil]

bro what…

30 kills is insane

[lofty crater]

I wasn’t expecting it for 2 month

[modern dune]

super lucky; nice kill!

[full cave]

I JUST KILLED 2 salmons whitails in a row?!??

[solid anchor]

damn that's crazy

i just got two bluegill moose

[haughty arrow]

I got my great one red deer 80-100 kills on my te awaora setup

[shadow creek]

hey friendo I believe you are deceitful and pasting down a scammed link- Sincerely your, Galvanised square steel <@&393042322499305473>

[hidden pagoda]

that's a combo I need

[deep terrace]

Moved all my tents for Tahr to 200 n that still don’t work can’t even find the tahr half the time cause they don’t spawn in this is gonna be such a waste of time

[bleak pond]

crazy i just got 2 crappie bear

[fresh sinew]

Bruhhhhhhhhhhhh

<@&393042322499305473>

[bleak pond]

just started back up my wt grind

[atomic mica]

I wish I had that luck my first took 6561 kills congrats

[drowsy shadow]

I’m trying to swap out my females for my bear grind, and I’m just sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for them to respawn. I can’t stand it

[wet dew]

i went and shot mule deer and sheep while i was waiting

[drowsy shadow]

Yeh good idea that’s what I’m going to have to do. I just want to shoot bears though I really hope they change it back

[wet dew]

same, its not going good for my tahr either

[drowsy shadow]

Bro I do not envy you tahr after the update I don’t even want to imagine

[wet dew]

its not horrible, i found some nice spots, but it takes forever for the respawns

[gray plank]

damn

nice

rly want great one

[tired pier]

i took his complete spine

[gray plank]

damn

[visual glen]

After thinking about leaving the game, this go is very importnat for the moral. Its Go Fallow#5 and the last rack i missed.

Its my second painted, i only miss the silver fur

[tired pier]

i love the ranger .243

[gray plank]

that gun aint even that bad

shots 2-6

and good range also

why do ppl hate it so much man?

[tawny roost]

cuz its the starter gun

[gray plank]

tbh i would somehow f it up with aryzina or smth

[tawny roost]

me too

[gray plank]

💀

[tawny roost]

yes, cuz its 7-9

so it would get downgraded

[gray plank]

i know that

but

i use it insted of right weapons

[tawny roost]

ah

[gray plank]

im fishing rn man wait

caught smth 🙂

catfish

[spiral raft]

That is my dream combo

[gray plank]

i can only dream abaut geting great one

[visual glen]

Yes its beautiful my most fav

[spiral raft]

That rack with the silver is also one of mine

[spiral raft]

It very much is

[next arrow]

I've started using pistols on Great ones

More fun/risk

[visual glen]

Im gonna take him out tommorow because i have to go now. Im gonna take him in a feed zone, maybe with a bow

[real radish]

so to grind now you need to restart the game 3 times or how does it work?

[tiny kestrel]

It works the same as it always has

You’re just forced to pick up your kills now

[tiny kestrel]

Can’t wait to go back and redo all my grind setups since a lot of them relied on animals not rendering when fast travelling to particular tents

[tidal hearth]

Yuppppp currently doing that right now, my issue honestly isn’t even mainly with the tents like yeah that’s okay that’s manageable to just move them back, but this respawn time is killing the game, they either need to revert or make it 5-10 min respawn times because 20-40 is not gonna work.

[tiny kestrel]

The extended respawn timer is only supposed to affect tigers

I think it may honestly just be placebo effect in place making people think it’s longer than it should be

[rare edge]

Great one Bear #2 260 kills

[gritty tendon]

idk sometimes things didn’t respawn before the update so it wouldn’t surprise me if they messed something up

[tiny kestrel]

Oh hey two level 5s side by side

[gritty tendon]

i just don’t see why all of a sudden they need to change all these things

[tiny kestrel]

I don’t either

It blows

Part of why I quit this game before lol

They keep trying to fix things but end up breaking them even more

[gritty tendon]

i just don’t buy into the whole thing of it being in the devs vision of how the game should be

respawns have been getting worse and worse since probably around NEM

[tiny kestrel]

Since before that iirc

Not to mention how much stuff they change that isn’t in the patch notes

[gritty tendon]

that’s the worst part of it

[tiny kestrel]

Like how they changed the way zeroing works. Now whenever you zero it goes in ascending order not descending

Completely throws me off

[gritty tendon]

devs really making questionable choices

[tiny kestrel]

I love having entire herds not showing up their zones over 2 ingame hours after their drink time starts

[tidal hearth]

No I think when they updated it it glitched and does it for all animals even tho it’s only supposed to be for tigers. I’ve tested it out on my lions, my wolves and my fallow, their times have been affected, some I’ve had to wait 25 min just for them to respawn

[tribal hull]

And that one random moose always dissapearing for 20 runs before showing up to his zone again and only being able to shoot one

[next arrow]

They quite literally said it was an intended feature, and that's what pisses me off the most

[gritty tendon]

i have a few tahr like that

[next arrow]

Why change it after 7 years?

[tribal hull]

And I always worry them being somewhere else on the map and they respawned as Great Ones and I don't know about that 😂

[gritty tendon]

actually my all male zones are all like that

[tidal hearth]

Because casual players were getting fomo which is fair but like damn ruined it for grinders

[gritty tendon]

they all had 5 to start but now are just 3 or 4 every time

[gritty tendon]

i don’t get why they’d have fomo though as everybody had the same chance of getting a GO

[tribal hull]

Yeah, I hate that

[next arrow]

The update was honestly bad for everybody. 15-30 minute respawn time depending on species, it really makes the game feel slow and sluggish.

[tribal hull]

But that is less of a bug than being able to respawn animals via the main menu for the devs 🤦‍♂️

[gritty tendon]

oh but wait because main menu is just placebo as well

[tribal hull]

I'm waiting for my moose for 25 minutes now, it's pretty stupid

[tidal hearth]

Well no grinders got GO a lot quicker and that was a problem for casual players because they didn’t have the time to grind

[tribal hull]

They have enough time, they just don't want to

[tidal hearth]

And yeah they definitely tried to even the odds between casual and grinders but ended up ruining it for everyone

[gritty tendon]

grinders only get more because we’re constantly shooting stuff

[tiny kestrel]

They literally said not everyone was supposed to get a GO super casually, that it was designed to be a reward for the very lucky or the very dedicated

[tribal hull]

And I understand that

[tribal hull]

But it's still not harder to get a GO now, just more tedious

[next arrow]

Yeah it's garbage. Need an immediate revert

[tidal hearth]

I mean with the respawn times being messed up it’s a little harder

[tiny kestrel]

Precisely!!!

[tidal hearth]

It just made the whole grinding thing soooo much less fun

[tiny kestrel]

They just made it more tedious for grinders which subsequently makes casual players have even less of a chance of getting them

[tribal hull]

I hope my great one spawns soon, I have been grinding since last year as I don't have much time except during holidays. Then I can be over with this crap and play the game more chill

[tidal hearth]

Yeah they literally tried to “even out the odds” between grinders and casual players but ended up messing it up for everyone

[tiny kestrel]

Every single time I get on this game without fail I’m reminded of why I take such large hiatuses

[gritty tendon]

i say keep tents how they are currently but revert the other stuff to pre patch

seems fair enough to me

[tidal hearth]

I just don’t get why it was needed, grinders grind to get the trophy’s. Casuals okay because they don’t care for grinding and/or don’t have time. So why did they have to mess it up for grinders when we are purposefully grinding, and casual players are playing just for fun…. The odds are gonna be uneven either way because grinders are putting some more time in and killing more.

[tidal hearth]

Agreed

[tiny kestrel]

ATP I’m more keen on just waiting for WOTH to drop their version of a GO and actually play a good hunting game for once lmao

[gritty tendon]

i think non grinders really just want initial spawns back

[tribal hull]

Their new map doesn't look too promising eiter tho

[tidal hearth]

Yesssss exactly

[gritty tendon]

but that can’t ever happen because then people just reset population files

[tidal hearth]

Like the tents are whatever I’ll deal with that that’s how it was before update so no biggy but this respawn stuff is killing this game for me they need to revert it back

[tiny kestrel]

In terms of roster it looks like a blend between Yukon and Transylvania. I’m excited for it because I know that even if there’s some recycled content it’s still good content

[next arrow]

I grind for a career. I want to become a YouTuber, and grinding was my biggest influx of views. And now, I can't even do that consistently. It infuriates me to no end

[gritty tendon]

it’s even worse because not everybody is having the same experience with it either

which is the other big issue about it

[next arrow]

Yeah exactly

[tiny kestrel]

You know who never has issues with the game? Content creators!!

Atp I’m willing to believe they have their own version of the game without any prevalent issues

[tribal hull]

Interesting. Until now my moose always came to to their zone after 15 minutes, but now they just don't show up

[tiny kestrel]

I did maybe two fallow runs after setting stuff up again and have lost maybe 1/3 of all my spawns

great.

Yeah I’m done for today

[gritty tendon]

i wouldn’t say that’s entirely true

i know ibuy is/was having trouble with whitetail

[tidal hearth]

Yupppppp this sucks, I mean at the end of the day if they don’t make some reverts they are going to lose a lot of players and lose a lot of money sooooo 🤷🏽‍♀️ up to them I guess

[tribal hull]

At the moment it looks like they don't care

Or maybe they are just thinking of a solution, so I won't critisize

[echo fulcrum]

Yooo

[tidal hearth]

Yeah I mean I’m sure it will take a week or so before they even fix anything if they even do, but the longer they take the more players they are gonna lose

[echo fulcrum]

@bleak pond

[tribal hull]

Joo, my Moose finally respawned after 32 minutes

[tidal hearth]

I guess I’m just upset that the devs think grinders are “exploiting” the game and it’s a matter of fomo they are concerned about. I grind and it still takes me a while to get trophy’s or great ones so I’m just confused as to what the problem was. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it ya know

[tidal hearth]

Ayeeee nice, I hate how inconsistent respawn times are tooooo my moose only take about 10 minutes to respawn but my lions take nearly 40 :/

[daring kindle]

Hm?

[acoustic cedar]

I’m loving hunting these tigers now ngl, they actually feel better than before

Need that pseudo mela orange boi to spawn and then it’s all barasingha and hares etc

[tardy stream]

Dime #96 (botched) | TK 8476 | KoG#8 797

[broken breach]

this is definetely a placebo

I tried my turkey shoot strat of spooking everything away from the zone then setting up decoys and calling in turkeys and it works just as well before the update as now

[tidal hearth]

It’s not placebo, the whole update is inconsistent, some are experiencing no change in other animals besides tigers some people are. This dude early took 30 min for his moose to respawn whereas my moose were unaffected, my fallow however are taking forever to spawn back, they just messed it up, it was only supposed to be for tigers which is very fair, but like their last update not showing albino tigers properly, the update glitched and transferred to other animals respawn times, an update always comes with problems, they just need to fix the respawn issue for other animals besides tigers

[broken breach]

or maybe it

it's because different animals respawn at different times

[gritty tendon]

i think we've seen to many varying times from the same species to say that respawns are working correctly for everybody

[tardy stream]

Idk why they just don't go back to the old one before they changed it in the first place, imo its stupid.

Yes tahr grinding will near to impossible but lbh its just gone for good to terrible

[gusty sapphire]

what is the new strats for hunting is it just place stands and place a tent 300 meters

[tardy stream]

Ngl for tahr I gave up with it when this update came out

[gusty sapphire]

i feel like this screwed up all my hunts tbh because drink zones i have to place super far now too

[tardy stream]

It seems okay for me on bears, fallow maybe another story.

[bleak pond]

yur

[gusty sapphire]

so bears are the only somewhat decent hunt anymore everything else seems like near impossible to be efficient

[bleak pond]

ngl yall know tahr is supposed to be hard tho

right ?

[tardy stream]

Mhm.

[tardy stream]

Yer but lbh with this new update they are impossible...

[gusty sapphire]

there is a total of like 10 spots that have good to decent spots for tahr to setup and those are zones if ya get lucky

[bleak pond]

well they diff ain’t easy in irl so i can understand

[gusty sapphire]

well if theyre gonna make you have to be 300 meters they should make the tent placing a lot more streamlined

finding a spot anywhere decent and open is hard

[next arrow]

I have said it once and will say it over and over, are great ones themselves realistic?

If not, why should their hunting methods be?

[gusty sapphire]

especially when this game isnt meant to be hyper realistic

[bleak pond]

i’ll say it over and over again they obviously want it to be kinda realistic, if you have a problem then don’t grind the damn animals it’s that simple jesus everyone cryies about this damn update.

[tardy stream]

If u want realism then this game defo isn't it. I would class this game as a arcade game

[gusty sapphire]

^^^

[next arrow]

Because this update is Garbage.

No debate needed

Completely ass

[gusty sapphire]

you say realism but shooting tigers and snow leopards def isnt realistic

[bleak pond]

hints why they are hard to hunt, also considering yall cry over animals that you cant hunt but what in the game they give it and people abused the 3 lakes for tigers and etc they made a update everyone hates the game bruh

just play the damn game

you can grind or you and walk around and hunt

it’s not that hard at all tbh

[gusty sapphire]

realism=irl tigers and leopards will get you prison time

[next arrow]

No, you can't grind, which is why we're pissed

[bleak pond]

yes you can

[next arrow]

I'm not about to sit and wait to kill 5 moose every 30 minutes

[bleak pond]

moose ain’t even bad bro wtf you mean

[gusty sapphire]

grinding has been ruined for 75 percent of the species

[next arrow]

That's cap

[bleak pond]

no literally everything is instant

[next arrow]

I could grind moose for hours consistently before the update. Post update? Id be glad to get respawns within the hour

That's literally non-factual

Quite literally a lie

[gusty sapphire]

this whole update has turned the game into a slow mo

[bleak pond]

bro fallow moose and bear are fine get over yourself, if you’re having a problem then send a email to the people and complain to them to change it back

shi is that simple

[gusty sapphire]

fallow are a struggle on te

the good spots on the map for zones are hard to place tents

bears i havent tried yet but seem to be fine moose idk

[bleak pond]

moose isn’t that bad my buddy said his spawns are instant and has spawned 2 g1’s after the update.

[next arrow]

You're literally the only person saying this. Content Creators, grinders like Ron and Mel, and almost every other grinder in COTW aren't getting respawns consistently. And even even they do get respawns it's different for ever single person

[gusty sapphire]

respawns have been horrific for me

[bleak pond]

respawns are literally perfect for me

[next arrow]

Youre the only one

[bleak pond]

so yapper tapper i’m sorry maybe yall get together and send a dang email omfg it’s that hard

[gritty tendon]

the biggest issue is that not everyone is getting the same consistent results which means there's likely a problem

[bleak pond]

i’m literally not

[gritty tendon]

it's not as simple as "because i'm not having problems that means nobody else is having problems"

[bleak pond]

like i said send a dang email it’s not that hard

complain to them not the discord

[gusty sapphire]

emails dont fix anything its like a worse petition

[next arrow]

Thank fudge, I can't express that because I'm chit at expressing myself but what bro said. It's why I don't debate.

[gritty tendon]

the thing is that they also see the complaints through the discord

that much has been made clear through the tents

[gusty sapphire]

his argument is so unbelievably flawed if we go 3 channels down to feedback theres lots of other people who agree that this update is shite

[bleak pond]

tents where never a pt

problem

glad they went back

[gritty tendon]

you must have missed the whole situation with how EW was going to change them then

[gusty sapphire]

the tent change made tahr hunting impossible

[next arrow]

Brother- someone else deal with this dude, it's like arguing with a five year old "Nuh uh!" "But mine aren't messed up so it's okay"

[gusty sapphire]

they wanted a challenge so they made it feed zones

cliffside feed zones nonetheless tents hard to place so lets mess it up more 250m flee

but "irl hunting tahr is hard so it should be hard"

[bleak pond]

okay and there are content creators who do absolutely nothing all day that will figure a way and let everyone else know about it so just stfu and let them cook

[gusty sapphire]

you have the Iq of a coconut

[bleak pond]

okay so i want ice cream

[gusty sapphire]

so the people who play all day are the only ones who can have a enjoyable time gotcha your priorities are incredible

[bleak pond]

move you tents away from a zone, walk over and shoot them. you don’t always need a damn stand

or structure

[crude spindle]

It’s probably different set ups

[bleak pond]

it’s not impossible

[crude spindle]

Smaller grinds = more issues

[next arrow]

All my grinds are smaller, usually 5 zones because I enjoy a more casual grind where I can play music and just kill my target species

That isn't possible anymore

[gritty tendon]

more zones in a grind is also a longer rotation time which means more work for the same or possibly even less results

[bleak pond]

@next arrow you said moose right ?

what map

[next arrow]

Layton

[bleak pond]

see explains a lot too

my bad

[gusty sapphire]

So what your saying is the update ruined the maps too lmao

[next arrow]

This update ruined a chit load.

[bleak pond]

bro what?

[next arrow]

I'm cool with tents, I thought the tiger grind was overtuned as it is, and I agree that tigers should have timers because of their endangered status and they way they're set up

But nothing else should've even been looked at

[gusty sapphire]

how hard would it be to put certain species on timers

[next arrow]

It wouldn't be

I don't think

[gusty sapphire]

Thats exactly what i thought

[bleak pond]

apparently really hard

[next arrow]

Idk I'm not a dev

[gritty tendon]

unfortunately it seems to be pretty hard

[gusty sapphire]

I mean theyve got the species in the game as their own entity

[gritty tendon]

jaxy said that a lot of the stuff they do can tie into other things in the game unknowingly

[gusty sapphire]

shouldn't be impossible maybe a tad bit of incompetence

[gritty tendon]

which could be why they said that only tigers are effected but maybe unknowingly it effected the other species as well

[crude spindle]

No one here rn is a programmer on cotw

Let’s not speak for what’s easy and what isn’t

Not productive

[next arrow]

That is true

[gusty sapphire]

Fair enough but if they could implement that its probally best case scenario

Id imagine they have looked into it as an option

[gritty tendon]

i don't think it really needs to be productive as we're not trying to figure out something to improve it

we're just talking about the problems it seems plenty are having that some also aren't having

[bleak pond]

it’s 50/50 it seems

[gusty sapphire]

which is a problem

[bleak pond]

right

everyone should have the same thing

[gusty sapphire]

if 50 percent of your playerbase is miserable thats not very good

[crude spindle]

Nothing wrong with that just saying that it’s not something they can just flip a switch on rn

Gonna take time for them to fix all this

We should know more on Tuesday

[crude spindle]

Not 50%

[gusty sapphire]

is their a exact statistic to how many are experiencing it

[bleak pond]

i kinda wanna know the percentage

[crude spindle]

Rewind

Experiencing what?

Longer respawns

[bleak pond]

yeah

[tardy stream]

My bears seem to respawn what every 5-10 minutes. Need to check fallow tho

[gusty sapphire]

I havent even touched fallow since my whole setup relied on about 100-150 meters away so itd all be ruined now

[crude spindle]

I truly don’t think this is something some players are experiencing and others aren’t

We don’t have official numbers and everyone has their own setups

[gusty sapphire]

there has definitely been enough reports of it to suspect its a problem

[crude spindle]

We’re going off word of mouth, so for some it seems bad and for others they don’t mind

It’s all feeling right now

[merry surge]

True

[merry surge]

Why did your setup rely on such a short distance?

[tardy stream]

ngl i may do 1 run of fallow then 1 run on bears and just rotate.

[gusty sapphire]

because half the zones are in weird spots for a tent and tripod

100-150 meters is very reasonable especially on te arawoa

[gritty tendon]

i could never

[gusty sapphire]

I didnt have like 16 tents up i had like 9-10 good zones and i shot the rest down

[merry surge]

Te awaroa is one of the easiest maps to distance tents from zones I feel like

[crude spindle]

I don’t think there’s a single fallow spot on Te where you couldn’t make 200+ meters work and be inefficient

[tardy stream]

I may try it out tbh, as bears take me abt 15 minutes

[gusty sapphire]

Everyones map is different tho

[merry surge]

Exactly

[tardy stream]

Heres the thing it means shooting sprinting fallow which means funny...

[crude spindle]

Not the geography

[merry surge]

Doesn’t change the actual map though

[gusty sapphire]

the zones tho yes

[tardy stream]

nvm seems like I aint my game jsut crashed.

[merry surge]

Not that drastically

[crude spindle]

The zones are different but they’re all in the same areas

You can set up easy on fallow still

For sure

[gusty sapphire]

maybe easy for you but i dont play all that much

[tardy stream]

Well its time to check

[tardy stream]

I took 3 weeks off to come back with the terrble update..

[crude spindle]

Anything in this game is going to take time, true before the update, will be after it

[gusty sapphire]

I have been off an on playing because my work schedule is odd

after the update stuff takes 10x the amount of time

[crude spindle]

I do hope we get some more info on Tuesday

[gusty sapphire]

Everything is just more time consuming now

[tardy stream]

All my fallow zones are all good no changing needed

Well my fallow respawned instantly..

[modern dune]

I took a break from my red deer GO grind pre-update and came back afterwards dreading having to reset everything after checking my zones then i just found a red deer GO with the big rack chilling at one of the river zones; took him with the .30-30

[tardy stream]

Nice, wished my bears was like that...

and wished it was a cream..

[modern dune]

You'll get there eventually! Just gotta play the odds for long enough. I've moved on to a fallow grind now; trying to eventually get one of each base game GO for the layton trophy cabin.

[tardy stream]

I've got 7 bears still missing 2 and 3 fallow

Defo need to rehm my fallow, just found some solo lvl 4's...

[modern dune]

certified update moment

[gusty sapphire]

I found my GO fallow after about 400-500 kills it was the ash fur i think and the typical i woulda lost it if it was the spoons they look so bad imo

[tardy stream]

and my bears are just another level... like defo some big males somewhere but idk where

[gusty sapphire]

I wanna start a black bear hunt on srp soon i just gotta hunker down and do it im too lazy to hm it all thp

[tardy stream]

ngl it aint that hard.

Like my patience is low and hm'ing fallow was so annoying but bears didn't even make me strug.

[somber turret]

@acoustic cedar this you?

[acoustic cedar]

Yup

[somber turret]

Thought so

[tardy stream]

😭 my bear zones have just disappeared and not coming back, given 20 minutes to respawn after they respawned in 5-10 minutes earlier.

[acoustic cedar]

Totally not grinding several species rn

[tardy stream]

What ones?

[acoustic cedar]

Tiger, snow leopards, barasingha and yak

[tardy stream]

Fe, gl.

[acoustic cedar]

Thank you! I legit want one orange pseudo mela tiger and then I’ll be happy

Ideally this variant (not mine)

[tardy stream]

Im going to stay quiet.

[acoustic cedar]

I have every rare except the orange pseudo melas

[acoustic cedar]

You got loads? lol

[tardy stream]

Was my first rare tiger.

1 of them and like 5-6 white striped tigers..

[acoustic cedar]

Insane

[tardy stream]

Was just casually hnting on my map with my friend and female white tiger attacked him I shot at it then killed me as it ran into me

[acoustic cedar]

I have 2 albinos, 2 melas, every other rare just no orange pseudo melas at all. And they’re some of my favourites

[tardy stream]

Didn't like the around 600 to 700 metre run tho...

[acoustic cedar]

Dang that’s crazy

[tardy stream]

3 whites should I say

[acoustic cedar]

Wow that’s so cool

[tardy stream]

May go and try and grind them as i want the mela to go with my mela bar

[acoustic cedar]

Yeah I need a mela and albino bazinga

[tardy stream]

Got my mela of a MP map, never checked a map so much to see if it as legit and found nothing else good on the map

[acoustic cedar]

That’s really lucky

[tardy stream]

Still missing my Wet beef tho...

Idk what herd it is in..

[pliant oak]

from my tiger hunting pseudo mela whites seem to be most common

[tardy stream]

Yer supper common imo

[tardy stream]

In 260 kills 3 whites and 6 dimes...

[pliant oak]

now just want my super rare trio of either a melantic SR tiger or Albino SR

would prefer melanistic SR tbh look better

not bad just take longer to come back

[tardy stream]

This bear grind is killing me..

[pliant oak]

you can still drop on lakes on tents

they just either go aggressive or flee

but even if they flee you can often still get a shot off

[tardy stream]

May go back on the tiger grind as tahr are being a pain in the ass.

[pliant oak]

haha i never not been on the tiger grind

still not hunted tahr yet

[tardy stream]

U don't want to anymore...

[pliant oak]

think i will stick to tigers more fun

[tardy stream]

Mine aint showing up at all..

without killing any..

[pliant oak]

they take a while so you just have to hunt on

other species seem to be about 15 minutes then respawn

tigers i think are longer

[somber turret]

What is your goals?

[tardy stream]

Yer by the sound of it tigers will take longer then all others.

[pliant oak]

15 mins real time

timed it with fallows one after another

thats for most species tigers not done yet

there is other factors too not just time

[tardy stream]

I will probs do bears as i want my cream and glacier 2 to blimming spawn..

[pliant oak]

so what the other factors are not sure

[acoustic cedar]

Ok so:
Orange pseudo mela tiger (I’ll take either version but I prefer the less heavy stripes)
Albino and mela bazinga for my albino/mela tiger multi mounts
Male leu and gold fur yak
Albino snowy

[pliant oak]

i shot 18 mythicals in a row

🤣

wonder how many diamonds respawned

i shoot yaks clear my hunting pressure in few minutes for tigers

or other species

[tardy stream]

Time to set up on tigers I think

[acoustic cedar]

I also have some other grinds/multi hunts I’m going to start soon for:
Mela, piebald and leu croc

Albino and mela male roo and banteng

Albino grey wolf (I had multiple on Xbox iirc but apparently never have shot one on pc…I don’t hunt wolves much tho so)

[tardy stream]

🫣 🫣 Gunna stay quite again... before I cry again...

[acoustic cedar]

If you hunt the river and their lakes…I find by the time I’ve checked the last spot, they’ve respawned

[pliant oak]

hammered wolfs to get a mela but took a long time

[tardy stream]

Fe.

[acoustic cedar]

Lmaoooo what you gotttt tell meeee

[tardy stream]

Actually I won't try that as umm.... my river is just full of females.

[tardy stream]

Botched leu cro, first rare.

[pliant oak]

female rares are cool for tigers too

get the whole collection

[acoustic cedar]

Ah fair. I don’t care if I get the males or females for rare tigers because of the differences so I just shoot all I can

[pliant oak]

furs and eyes are often different

[tardy stream]

Fe, kinda wanting a sr ngl

[pliant oak]

both my super rares came off mythicals

[tardy stream]

my first 9 croc and i botched it.

[acoustic cedar]

I have a sadge leu croc story to help you feel better. I was in multi, got bitten from behind. It was a leu female- first leu I ever saw. Quickly opened obs, hit record and off she ran into the water. I kept leaving render and coming back but she was always sat in the water with no shot. Eventually I was waiting on her coming out of the water and the host drove an atv past and spooked everything, then left, and the entire server crashed…no leu for me 😦

[crude spindle]

Mel! You’re alive! Thought we lost you in a grind fueled haze

[acoustic cedar]

Oh I been here, between fighting the pull of the abyss and watching the arguments in chat- I just didn’t say anything lol

[pliant oak]

have a guess...😁

[crude spindle]

I did 3 tours, hoping they send me home soon. I miss my wife 🚬🥲

[tardy stream]

max weight and score, mela, srry it was a super troll,

[pliant oak]

yeah 🤣

[acoustic cedar]

This is how I feel after irl stuff today 🙏

[crude spindle]

Real

[pliant oak]

no worries 😁

yeah i often get that lol
