🦌︴great-ones

[solemn rain]

I'm killing 3s that score higher than huge 4s

[twin sonnet]

they are a lil disappointing at this moment. Considering how incredible elk antlers truly are.

[compact skiff]

Something like this

[twin sonnet]

Cheeus

[daring maple]

the dream

[solemn rain]

Yeah I've boiled it down to the 3s have more points than the 4s that's how they are scoring higher

[twin sonnet]

Thes Fabled/ non typ are such a great addition. i hope they stay super rare

[full cave]

Bruh

[solemn rain]

Oh they are gonna be very rare

[compact skiff]

Now this is a diamond carabou

[hazy lion]

IS THAT REAL?!

[twin sonnet]

Come on! how could anyone running around a map and finding that be mad that the EE was something else

[compact skiff]

I just thought of something, what about a mule deer with elk-sized antlers?

[solemn rain]

Now that's a plow not a shovel

[grizzled hazel]

Bruh
@full cave is this TK lul

[daring maple]

i love seeing the big ass caribou with huge antler palms

[daring maple]

wait, this whole great ones thing reminds me a lot of a certain game from back in the day

[compact skiff]

I miss that game

[twin sonnet]

Id still be happy LOL

[compact skiff]

Mule deer with elk antlers when

[full cave]

@hazy lion yeah that's a real picture.

[sturdy niche]

Is anyone confused about the NT thing still?

[full cave]

Great one for fox

[daring maple]

hot take. moose shedding velvet great one would be fucking wild

[solemn rain]

Mule deer are my favorite nontypicals

[gentle turret]

A little bit

[full cave]

@sturdy niche I got you boss

[compact skiff]

NT?

[sturdy niche]

What are you confused about Marc?

[daring maple]

non typ

[full cave]

Recap from EW's stream: The point of the beta wasn't Non-Typical Whitetails. It was meant to be the introduction of the new medal being added. "Great One". The "Great One" feature is only available for Whitetails at the moment. This new medal's purpose is to have a chance at spawning an animal (Whitetails, again for now). With something special in the game, which you will not find normally. An example of this could be...Non-Typical racks, a never before seen rare fur variation (Fabled Piebald)...possibly more.

[solemn rain]

We good tk

[compact skiff]

Yeah, I understand it then

[gentle turret]

Well, is that great one which got shot a non-typical ?

[sturdy niche]

Zaggi was just saying that everyone is not happy

Yes it is Marc!

[full cave]

I'm happy, with it.

[gentle turret]

Oké, so non-typical exsist for the Great one animal

[solemn rain]

Zaggi may not be happy but we in here are

[daring maple]

you'll never make EVERYONE happy

[gentle turret]

Not for regular whitetails

[compact skiff]

I have gripes with it. Big ones. But still, its a welcome addition and free content

I'm glad it isnt just one thing and that it could be one of many

[twin sonnet]

@sturdy niche not everyone will be happy. But I think there is a large pop of the community that is really excited to see what yall come up with

[daring maple]

the whitetail great one is a nontyp but great ones are not non typs per say

[full cave]

I like how you never know what it will look like. That aspect is really well done.

[gentle turret]

Next question: So are there also NOT NON Typical Great one whitetails? *read that again LUL

[final chasm]

I think so

[compact skiff]

Apparently so

Just a matter of finding out what they would look like

[sturdy niche]

Not at this stage, you never know in the future. The First GO is this Whitetail and has TruRAC Non-Typ

[full cave]

You can get one in game, but they only have a chance on spawning with "Great Ones"

[twin sonnet]

@sturdy niche I think yall should send out an "I AM A LEGENDE EW" shirt to anyone that harvests one of these beasts

[sturdy niche]

So it will always be a Non Typ, but it also has the TruRACS system

[daring maple]

great one bison

[gentle turret]

Ah great, makes it more clear now

[solemn rain]

Yeah we just imagining the musk deer great one right now

[daring maple]

hmmm

[gentle turret]

And will the nont-typ racks for this Great one also grow weird like the Classic whitetails have? Or is it just more tines on the rack

[sage sparrow]

It drags its tusk on the ground

[compact skiff]

Idea for an ibex great one

[twin sonnet]

Thats sweet!

[daring maple]

great one roe deer

[urban dirge]

Bruh

[compact skiff]

And a massive mouflon could have his horns go on and on and on until they're just flying around the side and he cant go between 2 trees lmao

[daring maple]

fuck hyunicorn. its all about Roenicorn

[full cave]

@compact skiff that ibex is a nubian ibex nothing of what we have in the game yet. Also that picture is photoshoped

[compact skiff]

I know its photoshopped and a different species, I'm simply saying it'd be cool if we had something like that

[urban dirge]

When you hunt make sure you do this

[full cave]

SouthEastern spanish Ibex

[jolly sapphire]

When you hunt make sure you do this
@urban dirge lol my kind of hunt!

[compact skiff]

They could have horns that touch or meet in the very back

[solemn bolt]

^^

[urban dirge]

Wrong pic

That was my cousins lol

[full cave]

This should of been how diamond gredos ibex looked like since day one, they can get even bigger

[compact skiff]

Would there be any place to talk about ideas for maps or reserves? I've been thinking about an idea for a good while now and I didnt want to bring it up on Stream because it would be a wall text

[daring maple]

agreed

[full cave]

Social media? Facebook? Bring it here now that you’re at it

[daring maple]

i've had plenty of those pass the time talks about reserves with friends while hunting and having a channel for that kind of shit could be neat

[compact skiff]

^

[full cave]

^

[compact skiff]

mods pls, a suggestions or ideas channel would be great

[daring maple]

just so it doesnt clog up any of the other channels tbh

[compact skiff]

If it goes in literally any other channel then it would just get covered up by more text and forgotten

[full cave]

A channel with only reserve and animal ideas that a dev would visit once in a while would be nice

[compact skiff]

For sure

Now we just have to get a mod at gunpoint so they make a channel for us

I would @ a moderator but I dont think that'd be a good idea, might get me a warning

[frosty void]

What about the same maps we have but with seasonal changes and possibly different animals as some migrate out of the area and new ones migrate in

[daring maple]

https://tenor.com/view/kinda-iffy-iguess-alittle-gif-5168309

[graceful mural]

that would be the same amount of work as just making a new map tho at that point

[daring maple]

and for that effort it would be a better call to make a new map. i dont think people would want to pay money for the same map they already own with just a slightly different coat of paint

[compact skiff]

Yeah

[cloud vault]

How long will that fabled deer be in layton?

[daring maple]

it was just in the beta branch and its closed now

[compact skiff]

I think the beta is gone, so we just gotta wait for it to come out

Then it will be in for e t e r n i t y

[frosty void]

@cloud vault simultaneously never again, and forevermore

[cloud vault]

;-;

[civic plank]

the next update will put it in the game @cloud vault

[cloud vault]

Ah kk

[daring maple]

didnt we just say that

[civic plank]

yeah but it kinda sounded like you were saying it was only in the beta

[cloud vault]

mhm

[grizzled dune]

Talking about new maps I would like to see an Indian themed one. Tigers, Komodo Dragons, Mountain Goats, Snow Leopards, Elephants

[bleak fulcrum]

Komodo dragons aren’t in india

[compact skiff]

Are they even huntable?

[daring maple]

no

[bleak fulcrum]

Most likely not

[daring maple]

not at all

[bleak fulcrum]

A Louisiana map with alligators would be pretty cool

[daring maple]

yes

[grizzled dune]

Lolz forget the Komodo Dragons then.

[daring maple]

i would not be against rougarou bayou remade with alligators

[mental swan]

wouldn't be very fun to hunt

[compact skiff]

Again, as I said in-stream, alligators could be like ducks but with only one chance

You miss your shot, they're gone. They go underwater and stay there, and if you go to the edge of the water (Or God forbid, in the shallow water) they could attack you and deal a heavy amount of damage or just immediately kill you

[graceful mural]

do you guys think the turkeys will come with anything else, more species?

[compact skiff]

After 30 real-life minutes they could come back up to the surface, and occasionally sunbathe on the edge of the lake

[graceful mural]

the turkeys should launch with a great one from the start

[daring maple]

hopefully they will be part of a new map instead of shoehorning them into one of the other maps @graceful mural

[graceful mural]

that would feel the best

[compact skiff]

What would a turkey great one look like?

[daring maple]

since they dont make sense on any of the other maps

[graceful mural]

just really really big @compact skiff

[mental swan]

a rougarou map would be nice though, gives them a chance to actually make the waterfowl work well outside of the mess they are now

[compact skiff]

Possibly massive tailfeathers or a beard that drags on the ground

[solemn rain]

Crocs on vurhunga

[compact skiff]

Eh

[graceful mural]

i'd like hippos, just for the ambience

[bleak fulcrum]

Honestly i’d rather have a couple new species added to existing maps at a time to flesh them out rather than whole new maps

[graceful mural]

not the risk of getting trampled

[compact skiff]

I would rather get a map that has a river in the middle than just having them in those little ponds or on the side of the map

[graceful mural]

what if they made layton bigger and added a turkey spot

[daring maple]

now, if the devs ever revisited Africa, a Cameroon or Congo map that's more jungle/wetlands than savannah would be really nice

[compact skiff]

^

Or something thats kind of like Vurhonga but has a desert and the nile river

Or an Australian map so we could hunt freshwater and saltwater crocodiles

[solemn rain]

Australia map is what I'm waiting on

[compact skiff]

Actually.. I think Freshwater crocs are endangered. Oh well, you'd still have the largest species of crocodilian to hunt, being the saltwater

[solemn rain]

Dingos crocs kangaroos

[graceful mural]

i dont know a lot about turkeys. could they be in yukon?

[bleak fulcrum]

Australia would be lit, kangaroos, scrub bulls, crocodiles

[compact skiff]

Wild goats and caddle

[solemn rain]

Emus

[graceful mural]

more goats could be neat

[daring maple]

now, two reserve ideas that are slept on like crazy are Hawaii and Pakistan. Hawaii has axis deer, feral pigs, a few different species of feral goats, mouflon, turkeys and feral cattle

[graceful mural]

i like the desert idea

[compact skiff]

Just give us the Far Cry 3 map but with proper hunting

[graceful mural]

big sandy mountainy spots

[bleak fulcrum]

Wild turkeys are pretty limited to the American portion of north america, some parts of mexico too

[mental swan]

Jungle? yes pls

[solemn rain]

Yeah Rio grande turkeys in Texas and Mexico

Southern Mexico would be cool too

[daring maple]

pakistan has marco polo sheep, markour, yak, himilayan ibex, snow leopard (which are voulnerable just like lions so there is no issue) different types of sheep

[compact skiff]

Honestly we just need more maps with big, open fields

[daring maple]

all around cool shit in both of those places

[graceful mural]

marco

[solemn rain]

I like a lot of vegetation

Makes it more like hunting instead of shooting

[daring maple]

marco polo sheep

[graceful mural]

yoo das neat

[daring maple]

markhor

[compact skiff]

Nice

[graceful mural]

i am down for this

[solemn rain]

That's why I dont fully agree with hunting drink zones I only do drink zone hunting if I need $$$

[daring maple]

hawaiian feral cattle

[graceful mural]

go out into the mountains with a bow and caplock

feral cows kinda lame tho

[compact skiff]

Not really

I like the idea of it, you would feel like you're helping the habitat by hunting down an invasive species in a way

[solemn rain]

Australia has feral American bison and water buffalo

[compact skiff]

Cattle were brought there and got out, iirc

[mental swan]

I want a map with more vegetation tbh

[graceful mural]

australia has feral everything

[mental swan]

jungle, eastern US, etc

[daring maple]

pakistani map would be a nice way to do something that hasnt been done before while giving those classic looking ibex

[mental swan]

actually make the shotguns and bows more useful on at least one map lmao

[compact skiff]

^

[solemn rain]

Bows are op as it is

[bleak fulcrum]

Pakistan also has brown bears, no? I might be misremembering

[graceful mural]

bows are super op when you get all the points

[solemn rain]

Idk anyone that doesnt use one of the bows

[compact skiff]

Please just give us more variety in pistols and sidearms too

[mental swan]

Not really

Not better than rifles on every map except maybe hirsch

[compact skiff]

Pistols right now are practically useless because no one wants to grind for the .44 or .454

[daring maple]

this particular yak was in texas but you get the idea

[graceful mural]

its probably realistic, arrows do go straight thru animals a lot of the time

[compact skiff]

And the .45 is actually worse than the .357 iirc

[solemn rain]

I mean the cross bow doesnt seem to lose any penetration I sling 600gr 150 yards and kill

[graceful mural]

they're powerful

[solemn rain]

357 is very underpowered for some reason

[graceful mural]

maybe 150 is a long way

[solemn rain]

The 44 and 454 are very overpowered in that same sense

[graceful mural]

i love the 44 now tho

[mental swan]

ye but it'd be nice to have a more closer quarters map rather than taking consistent 300 meter shots with a rifle 24/7

[solemn rain]

45 single lung is actually very good probably better than the 44

[daring maple]

agreed drabon

[mental swan]

Just something different

[graceful mural]

yea i only do close range really

[compact skiff]

I want a map where shotguns and pistols are good

[daring maple]

like cameroon or hawaii

[solemn rain]

Try hunting feed zones in layton lol

[mental swan]

Some kind of jungle or an eastern US map

[graceful mural]

you can have a good time with a 44 in africa or parque just fine

[solemn rain]

Have to get close

[full cave]

I want an upland bird abundant map

[daring maple]

eastern US is what i hope for with turkeys

[mental swan]

or even a rougarou type map would be good for that

[daring maple]

plus would give a different map to hunt for great one whitetails on

[solemn rain]

I live in the south eastern us

Not really a lot to hunt

[mental swan]

Actually, eastern US would probably fit with a big swamp in it, or swamps dotted around the map

[compact skiff]

^

[solemn rain]

Whitetail alligator boar bobcat coyote turkey rabbits squirrels

[graceful mural]

turkey swamp map

[magic blade]

So the easteer egg is a hyunicorn ?

[mental swan]

have like 5 different species of ducks, whitetail, black bears, turkey, maybe doves, feral hogs, bobcats, yotes

[full cave]

Cuatro lost its opportunity for fowl with the amount of fowl spain has

[solemn rain]

Oh and duck

[graceful mural]

yea 0 birds on cuatro... so sad

[daring maple]

black bear, feral pigs, whitetail, turkey, coyote, rabbit, bobcat, and possibly elk since they've been reintroduced ina few areas on the east coast

[solemn rain]

Forgot we have ducks

[bleak fulcrum]

Florida map with gators, florida panthers, bobcats, and pythons lul

[daring maple]

that all sounds like a decent map to me

[mental swan]

well elk are just in the mountains here, not much so in the areas where the swamps are

[daring maple]

fuck the swamps

[solemn rain]

Dont forget iguanas @bleak fulcrum

[mental swan]

I want my waterfowl dammit

[compact skiff]

Florida map with waterfowl and gators and iguanas

[daring maple]

im just talking an eastern map set in like the appalachias

[bleak fulcrum]

Iguanas would be a neat class 1 animal

[graceful mural]

squirrels + pellet gun dlc

[mental swan]

the waterfowl AI right now sucks ass, they need to fix it at some point

[graceful mural]

plink

[daring maple]

thats what the 22 is for my guy

[solemn rain]

Agreed a small cal air rifle would be great

[graceful mural]

too big @daring maple

[compact skiff]

I hunt squirrels with a .22..?

[daring maple]

you sure about that man

[graceful mural]

we can go tinier

[daring maple]

i hunt squirrles with a 22 all the time

[solemn rain]

I hunt squirrels with a 12g

[mental swan]

I mean we already have the 7mm, M1, and the other 30-06

why not a .22 and an air rifle

[graceful mural]

i mean 22 air rifle would be good

[full cave]

Northern Argentina would be the waterfowl and dove king reserve

[graceful mural]

solid plinker

[solemn rain]

Idk if yall ever been in a swamp before but 22s down here arent that good for squirrel hunting

[compact skiff]

I just want my .405 now so we can hunt moose and bison with the same gun while still having it be powerful

[daring maple]

you must not be doing it right my guy @solemn rain

[solemn rain]

I think we should get a 25cal air rifle good for 1 and 2 class animals

[graceful mural]

also blow darts

that would be really sweet @solemn rain

[daring maple]

now you're getting into the dumb territory

[mental swan]

Nah need that .177 with an eastern map, plink squirrels and doves

[graceful mural]

i'm all about dumb territory

[bleak fulcrum]

Blowdarts and spears lmao

[graceful mural]

smol gun

[daring maple]

appalachian during fall would be great for turkey and whitetail hunting

[mental swan]

and ducks because the appalachias are gay

[full cave]

Amazon jungle

[solemn rain]

Na need the 25cal I'm tired of having only 2 options to kill foxes

[sturdy niche]

If anyone is unsure about the GO's still, I have gone live now!

[full cave]

Jaguars and tapir

[twilit timber]

I really hope that elk Great ones look like one of these

[graceful mural]

the 223 finally kicks some butt tho

[solemn rain]

And 1 option for ducks

[graceful mural]

oh daamn

[daring maple]

we understand the great ones TK

[graceful mural]

NEXT CLUE?

[mental swan]

I'd vote for an appalachian map only if they change the elk model/animations

[compact skiff]

^

[full cave]

@twilit timber isn’t the last one a pretty common rack? It looks like it

[bleak fulcrum]

Yeah some animals need TLC updates

[daring maple]

it would be a different species of elk since roosevelts are only in pacific northwest

[mental swan]

yeah they're like manitoban or something

[compact skiff]

Rocky Mountain elk Pog

[valid surge]

[mental swan]

even so, the current elk ingame barely looks like an elk lul

[daring maple]

hot take. The Elk truRacks are not very good looking imo

and thats partly why im a tad concerned about red deer truracks

[full cave]

We need maps with thick woodland like this

[mental swan]

elk are easily the worst truracs rn

and red deer would be pretty hard to mess up tbh

[daring maple]

appalachia in the fall vibe

[bleak fulcrum]

Haven’t hunted parque in a hot minute, how’d the water buffalo truracs turn out?

[full cave]

@daring maple nah they’ve taken their time with red deer and if they fuck them up they know everyone would be pissed cause its one of the favorite species

[mental swan]

gross

[daring maple]

nah

i like the buffalo truhorns personally

[mental swan]

where's my ducks

[daring maple]

fuck the ducks its all about the ground birds

[full cave]

^

[mental swan]

I'd be down for doves/quail tbh

[daring maple]

part of me hopes to see american south west for some prairie dog hunting

[compact skiff]

Wait do only Parque buffalo have the TRUHorns or do cape buffalo have it too?

[daring maple]

only wwater buffalo

[compact skiff]

Darn

I just got an idea for a Great One cape buffalo

[daring maple]

broken horn

[compact skiff]

Just an old buffalo with MASSIVE horns, one could be broken, covered in old and new scars

He could be the leader of a massive herd

[daring maple]

eh that sounds a bit more complicated to do

[compact skiff]

The herd part?

[daring maple]

the herd part

[compact skiff]

I dont see how, just have him spawn either in a herd of, say, 8 or more, or have him spawn in a small herd but have other buffalo spawn with him

[real radish]

where can I find the pics of the easteregg?

[compact skiff]

I'm afraid I dont know too dreadfully much about coding or anything.
@real radish check pins

[bleak fulcrum]

Could just mark him as a need zone so other buffalo follow him around lmao

[compact skiff]

That could work

Moving need zone that cant be picked up as an actual zone

[mental swan]

If they made mane variety an actual thing a GO lion could have a huge mane that runs along its belly

[compact skiff]

Yeah

Or one with a torn mane

[bleak fulcrum]

GO lion could have a mohawk-like mane

[full cave]

All I want is a map in Spain with fallow deer and holm oaks 😻

[compact skiff]

Have it covered in a mane so it just looks like a fluffball

[bleak fulcrum]

GO coyote is a chupacabra

[mental swan]

They need to fix the coyotes and foxes in general

[bleak fulcrum]

mangy and gross looking

[mental swan]

They look like aliens lol

[compact skiff]

I would love to see some more rifles, maybe something like an SKS for smaller animals like bobcat to blacktail

Or maybe a VEPR Hunter for mid-sized animals

[quasi lichen]

When will the update hit with the GO in it

[bleak fulcrum]

We don’t have a release date right now afaik

[compact skiff]

Just please, for the love of God, make it so the scopes arent at the very front of the gun. Give us a curved-bolt mosin so we can have a PU scope

[full cave]

@quasi lichen in 2 to 3 weeks

[sinful geyser]

Ok so I have an idea where instead of the fabled animals are just huge make them based off of real life record book animals like the Hanson buck and Missouri monarch

[compact skiff]

Thats what they basically are, from what we've seen

[sinful geyser]

Yeah they’re huge but the non typ that was smoked doesn’t look like it was based off any record book trophies to my knowledge

[compact skiff]

Thats because they're random, they have TRURac

[sinful geyser]

I know but still just an idea

[compact skiff]

Fair

[full cave]

I hope the next non-typical they do is in another reserve not Layton on and on

Maybe red deer

[compact skiff]

Yeah

[full cave]

To make it equally fair

Would you guys rather have non-typicals or improve animal AI and interactions?

[smoky galleon]

sorry if this has already been explained, but what's the deal with GOs? will they usually have something cool about them, like the nontyp antlers in this case, or will they just have the Great One rank and look like a diamond?

[compact skiff]

I think they will ALWAYS have something cool about them

Just in case, ask TreeKiwi. He's streaming right now

Man, we really need a suggestions channel

If a Moderator or anyone with the ability to add channels sees this, can we please get a suggestions or ideas channel? We need a place to put these without them getting drowned by the general or fabled chat

[bleak fulcrum]

^^^^^^

[full cave]

^^^^^^^^^^^

[compact skiff]

Mods pls

[full cave]

Can somebody tag one?

[compact skiff]

Not a good idea, but be my guest

We're only supposed to tag them if its an emergency

[worldly girder]

Wait I am confused. Are there non typs or not

[clever olive]

No, Great Ones are kinda "Story Material Legendary Animals"

TK just described them as that one animal everyone has a story for

(TK also kinda said it was a bit of a mistake making the Whitetail great one a non-typical, but that is the general idea, non-typs are planned for later down the line)

[worldly girder]

Thanks

Is there a great one for each map

So great one Is not just max weight

Are we going to know what the story is and where to look???

[bleak fulcrum]

The only great one as of now is the Whitetail

they don't literally have a story

[compact skiff]

We should get a swamp-style trophy lodge with things like this sitting around

[clever olive]

So, plan is @worldly girder , eventually every species will have a great one. Whitetail is the only one that will be know, after that, each great one species that is added will only include great one added in the patch notes, meaning we won't know which species was added until someone finds and shoots it

(Kinda thinking about it, I made a reference to Cabelas Legendary Hunts a couple days ago and that was pretty much spot on to whats happening)

[frosty void]

That feels better! PhoenixFirewall is now DarthMagnus. I didn't realize it would let me change usernames

[worldly girder]

Thank you @clever olive

[civic plank]

so what all is the news and what all did we hear from the livestreams?

[languid bison]

Dont bunnies and ducks already have great ones?

Or was that a bug

[compact skiff]

It was a bug

[languid bison]

Ah ok ty

[rotund path]

so are non typs out on normal server?

[graceful mural]

naw naw

someday

[quasi nebula]

Well, I've long looked for a new species of game and learn that the peacock egg was a whitetail deer is a bit boring. I'm going to do a pose in the game and I'll see if the motivation comes back

[silk merlin]

So how do you guys like it?

[valid surge]

guys you know what

[silk merlin]

what

[valid surge]

[opaque elk]

You all should check out scarecrow on YouTube he is a great cotw youtuber and streamer. Really good content

[graceful mural]

no spam

also everyone watch my stream

[civic plank]

@valid surge read your guide on steam good read

had to read it when i saw you made it

[hazy lion]

@valid surge Shouldn't you be sleeping or begging for recognition somewhere?

[sharp junco]

Was the great ones thing supposed to be on max animals or only the WT

[clever olive]

Eventually all animals, for now only whitetail.

[twin sonnet]

It will be for more species in the future but only the WT will be there once the patch comes out

[hardy totem]

Ok but what if the grey wolf was THE big bad wolf?
a Lynx with a fur pattern that makes it look like it has lil bootsies

[clever olive]

Hey, you never know 😉

[bleak fulcrum]

werewolf event with big bad werewolf great one when

[tall vortex]

Did you notice less bugs in the beta?

[full cave]

Great one 🤔

[clever olive]

Surprisingly, yeah @tall vortex

[full cave]

Non typicals easter egg is it?

[clever olive]

Not exactly

[full cave]

Fill me in bros, ive been a bit busy

[clever olive]

More of just a legendary animal, whitetail great one seems to be non typ though that is irrelevant

[hardy totem]

good news is that nontyps are going to be worked on... eventually =D

[valid surge]

Wait what have i Done?

@hazy lion

[valid surge]

I need help with something. I havent gone to the gym for 5 days and i need you guys to come up with a punishment

play cotw and every kill do 10 pushups next kill do 30 sit ups repeat

[valid surge]

Deal, start tomorrow.

[left isle]

anyone else downloading the non beta just have there download jump from 17GB to 20GB?

[sharp junco]

Grinding the shit outta WT and reds after patch will be fun lol

[full cave]

And then May comes around new reserve bois

[daring maple]

Hmm

Turkeys this year, whitetail great one, making me think we might actually get an east coast map so both of them can be on the same map

[west bronze]

Can you continue to play beta in steam offline mode?

[bleak fulcrum]

cross platform isn't really needed imo, but cross progression would be nice

[graceful mural]

cross platform is more so the console folks dont feel so lonely

[daring maple]

oh well

[red gust]

yh i agree with the cross progression

[solar pumice]

The game is already buggy as hell and you want cross platform?

[frank panther]

Yeah my thought too, first of all - EW wouldn't make any money out of investing into x-platform, they might even lose money on it as some who has it on console don't end up buying it on PC cos they want to play it on PC.. and then there is a highway of bugs just waiting to happen. It's a no from here.

[full cave]

Yeah last thing we need is more bugs.

EW gotta find a way to add guns , maps to the game without breaking the code, The last DLC was a mess...

[lapis carbon]

@full cave Cross save would be better

[full cave]

It's not really possible to get saves on console and transfer them to PC

for any game that isn't cross platform for that matter.

[hazy lion]

@full cave You could do it with borderlands lol

[full cave]

Yeah, but you also have to look at the size of that team as well.

[edgy lance]

also this game has a game engine that's never been used for cross platform

[grizzled hazel]

is the beta still up?

[bleak fulcrum]

ended today i believe

[dark turret]

Did someone kill it yet

[solar pumice]

Check pinned

[dark turret]

Yeah just looked at it holy crap so are non type gonna be more common now that someone finally shot it

[floral frigate]

Any rough date for update?

[solar pumice]

@dark turret Great Ones are gonna be their own thing, nontypicals are coming later

[dark turret]

Okayyy

[full cave]

4 weeks

[solar pumice]

@full cave is that confirmed?

[full cave]

he said today

[daring maple]

4 weeks ish

[sharp junco]

Imagine GO cape

[ebon wolf]

i think also after what was surveyed during the stream that they will be changed from atypical to non-typical

[solar pumice]

Good, ill be done with finals then the hunt begins

[civic plank]

so what all "new" has been confirmed about the GO's, nontyps, and/or anything else

didnt watch the streams

also how lucky do you have to be to have a nontyp and the GO in one bundle gg Luc

[lament steppe]

@civic plank the great ones are the new addition not nontypicals, the great ones will added to other species in the future and will be some special skin or look to thew animals. the wt great one is a nontypical, nontyps arecc

coming later

[solar pumice]

@civic plank theyre also extremely rare, the person who killed it hunted exclusively male whitetails for 12 hours a day for 2-3 days

[civic plank]

oh i know, i was here

im just wondering what was new from the streams today

thank you both though, it answered my question for sure

oh i know, i was here

[timber reef]

Can someone fill me in

What are non typicals and great ones

[civic plank]

so nontyps are the antlers that spew out and arent symmetrical as normal racks are, this can be anything from one drop tine to crazy racks such as the nontyps in classic (check #491900799270780929 for some)

Great Ones are supposed to be the rarest and biggest trophy you can possibly get, soon to be added to every species slowly

It can be something such as a special skin or a new look to the species not seen before

[viscid sage]

I wonder what a roe deer non typical would look like

[hoary niche]

Moose antlers roe deer

[civic plank]

i think the roe is gonna look close to a big 1 blacktail

with just two huge forked antlers

kinda like the bigger blacktails you would get rl

most blacktails you get rl are like level 1 blacktails in game

[viscid sage]

Ah. Would there be non typs for animals without antlers like rabbits or bears or foxes?

[hoary niche]

Big arse battle scarred black bear would be cool

[viscid sage]

Yessss

[civic plank]

i think its a fur varient or new looking, such as battle scarred or just really aggressive looking

[viscid sage]

Ah ok

[civic plank]

we will see when that comes though

[hoary niche]

And at risk of entering the realm of ridiculousness, a fabled one jackrabbit should absolutely be a jackalope

Rare enough that it isn't immersion breaking

[viscid sage]

What do u predict the best non typical will be?

[compact skiff]

@viscid sage Red deer or moose for sure

[viscid sage]

Yeah moose would be awesome with being bigger in size and bigger antlers

[hardy totem]

a fabled jackrabbit should have the papilloma virus

[civic plank]

whats that?

[hardy totem]

basically, horns growing out of their faces

[viscid sage]

oof

[hardy totem]

hence the jackalope myth

[civic plank]

fabled jackrabbit has ears the size of the fabled wt

[viscid sage]

Lol

[compact skiff]

Great one Cape Buffalo should have an arrow sticking out of it and be covered in scars

Massive horns, possibly broken on one side

[civic plank]

grizzly bear the size of a kodiak bear for the fabled

[hoary niche]

Here's my interpretation of great one roe deer (graphic design is not my passion)

[viscid sage]

Ok lol

[left isle]

what do you know, the hunt club is still borked. lol

[compact skiff]

What did you expect

[civic plank]

i honestly can't wait for the update, going from beta to live game is screwed, the amount of bugs you have to go back to and the "old" sounds

[hardy totem]

Yeah, cant wait for all the fixes

[compact skiff]

I've said it twice, I'll say it again

We need a channel for ideas and suggestions for the game

[left isle]

riiiiight game....🤥

[compact skiff]

10/10 that's definitely how bullets work

[left isle]

first shot was BS too. right though the spine in the neck......

[compact skiff]

I hate the anatomy of animals in both Classic and COTW

There are so many veins and arteries in the neck that you can aim for irl for a kill, but sending a round down an animal's throat in-game is like shooting it in the tail from what I've seen

[civic plank]

we do need a channel like that definitely it would be fun to hear from the devs about suggestions and ideas

[rotund path]

i mean yeah whats so special about arteries

not like it kills anyon

[compact skiff]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not

[left isle]

any opinions on what the best handgun

[hoary niche]

derringer 22lr

[left isle]

or best to grind HG skill with

[sharp junco]

454

By far

[hoary niche]

if you have no handgun skill

[sharp junco]

Oh

[hoary niche]

the one from weapon pack 2, with the birdshot rounds, you can sneak up on jackrabbits pretty well

[compact skiff]

Guessing you're trying to get to the .454, the .45 is good, or so I've been told

[left isle]

that roe dee was the first on this profile. so none XD

[sharp junco]

22 is best for farming

[hoary niche]

ah i didn't remember there was a 22 handgun

[compact skiff]

I despise the .22 handgun without a scope

[left isle]

so, basically. buy your way out of .357 crapdom then

[compact skiff]

Yup

[hoary niche]

tough luck unfortunately

[compact skiff]

Everything that isn't in a dlc is garbage

[hoary niche]

since the weapon packs with handguns are slightly outdated now

[compact skiff]

Welcome to Call Of the Wild

[hoary niche]

thanks to smoking guns being the absolute best weapon pack rn

[left isle]

i did buy SG for the black powder

[hoary niche]

the muzzleloader is OP

it's hilarious that you can kill a bison just as easily as a blacktail with it lmao

with full integrity on both

[compact skiff]

Stronk gun

[civic plank]

the 22 handgun is my favorite for only rabbits atm, as i seem to walk up ontop of them for a shot and it raises my pistol score so thats good

also the muzzleloader is literally a .50 it should be a class 9 permitted weapon

but the 22 rifle i carry more cause ducks

[compact skiff]

Doesn't the .45 pistol with .410 count to the shotgun score?

[hoary niche]

nope

counts as pistol, i use it

[compact skiff]

Oh

[left isle]

yep @compact skiff if you use the 4-10 shells it counts as shotgun i hear

[compact skiff]

Also Muffins, I think there's a difference between a .50 musket ball and a .50 BMG

[hoary niche]

absolutely. one thing is shooting a bison with a gun from the 1800's with a round bullet

and another is firing a fully automatic barret 50 cal at it

[compact skiff]

I don't think that the cival war had .50 calibers, or it would've been a lot more gory

[hoary niche]

something like this would be a class 9 exclusive

.950 jdj caliber

[compact skiff]

Hell, there should be a class 10

[left isle]

the civil wars did have .50 cal. just not the ones your thinkin of. sharps did make some odd calibers. i know a guy that has a sharps which the shells are 4" long. basically $10 a shot XD

[compact skiff]

I mean not like .50 bmg anti-material stuff

[hoary niche]

class 10 exclusive leaked

[compact skiff]

I'm not a history buff, but surely they wouldn't have something like that, right..

[hoary niche]

for hunting animals? yeah definitely not lul

[compact skiff]

Not the tank

[hoary niche]

ohhh the 50 bmg

[compact skiff]

Mhm

[left isle]

this thing is the grandaddy of the 50 bmg if you could see it. lol made by shoulder black and blue for a week. he sent a pic to sharps of the rifle and they offered him $50k on the spot

[hoary niche]

closest thing to it would probably be WW1 anti tank rifles

this is a german 13mm which is close enough to 12.7mm(50 cal)

from 1918

[compact skiff]

Tankgewehr?

[hoary niche]

Panzerbüchse is a bit closer

[compact skiff]

I just know it from Battlefield 1

[hoary niche]

but yeah, before the 1900's the only thing close to 50 cal would be like the ingame muzzleloader

[compact skiff]

Where it's called the Tankgewehr for simplicity's sake

While we're on the topic of old rifles, I'd love to see some more surplus or old military rifles

[daring maple]

gotta love seeing game nerds talk about guns

[compact skiff]

Maybe an SKS from the Cold War or a .405 lever-action

I know some about guns, but I don't spend hours researching

[left isle]

you want lever action, the russian 7.62 winchester from WW2. thing was a beast and the only lever action the could be reloaded with stripper clips

[hoary niche]

i will admit i like guns alot but i'm not crazily knowledged in them hahah

only fired two in my life so yeah

[left isle]

i like old guns. WW2 and down

[compact skiff]

More semi-autos would be cool but also hard to balance

[civic plank]

well 50 cal refers to the diameter of the round doesnt it

[viscid sage]

I think I shot 3 guns in my lifr

[compact skiff]

An example is the Garand currently, it has 6 shots in-game and can fire quickly. It outshines literally every gun of it's size

[civic plank]

but recoil without the maxed recoil perk is bad, but manageable

[viscid sage]

.22 was one of them, a pistol(I forgot which one) and a semi high caliber gun ( I forgot)

And of course a BB gun

[hoary niche]

anyone know if the handgun perk that speeds up recoil would work on the muzzleloader too?

[compact skiff]

Not sure

[viscid sage]

Why would it work if the muzzleloader is a rifle

[hoary niche]

because it does say it works for every weapon on the skill

[compact skiff]

Muzzleloader would count as part of every weapon

[civic plank]

ive shot a garand rl and its fun as hell, muzzleloaders as well

[hoary niche]

in the same way that the first handgun perk lets you reload all guns while running

[viscid sage]

Oh lol

[hoary niche]

i'm just wondering if that reload time reduction is percentual based

[left isle]

i want a 45-70 contender that counts as a handgun

[civic plank]

i think so yeah

[viscid sage]

I’m not a gun person at all. My favorite gun is the .22 only because I’ve actually shot it and it doesn’t have a lot of recoil

[hoary niche]

because i think the muzzleloader is the longest reload in the game so maybe that perk helps a bunch on it

[civic plank]

if reload speed is like 100 on the scale on the store page, then the reload speed might be a 10% decrease each time

[viscid sage]

Yeah the muzzleloader has a terriblbly slow reload

[civic plank]

in rl its slow too obviously

[left isle]

the muzzle has a bug ir for just switch ammo types it dosent reload and your loaded again

[viscid sage]

It would be nice if it was more like real life where u gradually get quicker at reloading because u get used to it more

[civic plank]

i feel it should be getting slower on a long hunt due to fatigue and then once you rest and go it gets faster

cause reloading a muzzleloader takes a strain, atleast mine do (inline muzzleloader)

[viscid sage]

Yeah true

[hoary niche]

i still think the hudzik might be the most OP weapon in the game

for me the reload time isn't an issue because i don't like committing massacres, i usually just shoot the most valuable animal in a herd and im done

[viscid sage]

What’s that

[hoary niche]

its the ingame name for the muzzleloader

[viscid sage]

Ohh ok

[hoary niche]

not sure if anyone has any other OP weapons they'd like to present

[viscid sage]

What are the best non dlc weapons for moose and for deer?

[civic plank]

it is, and its balenced with the reload, but it definitely should be allowed for class 9

[hoary niche]

best non dlc i'd guess is the 7mm

[compact skiff]

The muzzleloader and the Garand are currently the most OP weapons in the game

[civic plank]

i mean muzzleloader is like the gun you think of when you think of bison hunting

[viscid sage]

Garand is the m1 right?

[civic plank]

yup

[hoary niche]

but @civic plank you can shoot bison with it

[civic plank]

arent they class 9?

[hoary niche]

yes but the muzzleloader has 2 different ammo types

[compact skiff]

^

[civic plank]

it just goes up to 8 doesnt it?

[viscid sage]

Forgot of the gun name I was about to ask about😂

[hoary niche]

one of them can shoot class 3-8 i think, the other is class 4-9 and better range

[compact skiff]

@viscid sage Mood

[left isle]

this game need more handguns, more bows, and a total revamp of the ambusher skill tree. (because it useless)

[compact skiff]

For sure

[hoary niche]

personally i only use the minnie ball ammo since there aren't any class 3 animals on layton anyway

[viscid sage]

Anyways in beta I came up with the .270 being great for wt/bt and the .338 being good for moose. Does that sound rught?

[compact skiff]

Also more vanilla shotguns

[viscid sage]

Just remembered the gun. What’s the mosin nagant called in cotw

[reef cobalt]

A double barrel 12 gauge

[hoary niche]

270 is definitely the best early game weapon

[compact skiff]

.338 is good but single-shot, and the 7mm is better than the .270 iirc

@viscid sage The Solokhin

[viscid sage]

Ok, I wa just seeing what guns there were for my level and the money I have

[hoary niche]

yep, solokhin was most OP gun until the garand

[left isle]

shotguns are kinda hard, the only one i could think of would be a 410 shotgun rifle ATM, but shottys are kinda the same just 3 ammo types. but 410 slugs would be fun

[compact skiff]

6 guage shotgun

[reef cobalt]

Get like a big bore muzzleloader for level 7-9 or an older rifle like a sharps

[left isle]

but theres plenty of handguns out there to play with

[hoary niche]

the shotgun in smoking barrels is decent, you can zero to 150m with slugs

[viscid sage]

I don’t use shotguns😂 I just snipe ducks in the water with my .243 idc about proper ammo with them😂

[hoary niche]

stock sight is garbage though

[compact skiff]

The lever shotgun is an actual God

[reef cobalt]

Fabled mule deer be an interesting sight. Curious to see how they do springbok, lesser kudu, and gemsbok

[hoary niche]

ah yeah, a player without DLC has literally no way of hunting tier 1 animals with integrity for a good long while

[left isle]

and more sights for handguns yes. i would like to see a mauser broomhandle carbine with a scout scope for smaller game

[hoary niche]

because the only 2 basegame ways of doing it are normal shotguns with birdshot (you have to grind shotgun skill which is a pain)

[compact skiff]

Just give us a PU scope for the Mosin already

[viscid sage]

I wanna see moose with fabled. Probably will be the biggest animal in the game.

[hoary niche]

and small point game arrows (LMAO)

[left isle]

aka me @hoary niche lol, only got smokin barrels

[hoary niche]

yeah it kind of sucks that the only way to hunt class 1 without DLCs and without stupid grinds is DLC

[left isle]

@that too, rabbit weight bows n crossbows and the like

[viscid sage]

I could buy 1 or 2 dlcs I just don’t know what to buy😂 I’m super conservative and indecisive

[hoary niche]

buy smoking barrels because muzzleloader OP as shit

[compact skiff]

Weapon pack 1 and 2 are good

[viscid sage]

I’ve thought about tent, atv, and a weapon pack but idk the guns in them

What classes can the muzzleloader shoot in

[compact skiff]

Weapon pack 1 has the .22

[hoary niche]

weapon pack 1 is probably second best weapon DLC because crossbow and 22lr rifle

[viscid sage]

Ima look up the weapon packs rn brb

[left isle]

@viscid sage smoking barrels will give you a good set of guns to hunt the Large game with, with out DLC bison are almost impossible untill the 7mm even then its chancy

[hoary niche]

yep- i find shooting big things is way more fun in this game than trying to shoot asshole coyote from 1 mile away or wabbits from 5m away

[compact skiff]

Is this a good time to mention how much I HATE the 7mm ironsights

[left isle]

what 7mm ironsights @an abom 😆

[compact skiff]

It's just a brick in the end of the gun

It would literally be easier to hit something with no ironsights at all

[hoary niche]

level 24 at the moment and never killed an animal with an ironsight rifle lol

[left isle]

my dad has a old bolt action 410 shotgun that has the 7mm ironsights, can hit nothin after 15 yards with it XD

[hoary niche]

what's the appeal in ironsights? other than oldschool hunting?

in game i mean

[civic plank]

i like them for when buffalo rush me

[compact skiff]

When something gets too close

[hoary niche]

i never hunt without either a shotgun or the crossbow and those two tend to solve short ranged problems

[left isle]

irons are fine, they would be better if they upped score or cash for harder difficulty tho, and ironsight would be viable if the ambusher skills worked and wernt shit

[civic plank]

scope sensitivity is weird with different levels so just having none works wonders

[viscid sage]

@left isle I mainly hunt on Layton, sometimes hirsch. I don’t have any dlc maps

[left isle]

im currently grinding for my handgun skill and a scope for my 30-30

[hoary niche]

actually doesn't the crossbow with 600gr bolts have the best penetration in the game? or does something else have that title?

[civic plank]

and the trutuinium fiber optic bullshit shights for the 7mm dont line up correctly

[compact skiff]

Does the .300 still shoot high at 150 meters?

[left isle]

@viscid sage elk. large game is elk

[civic plank]

600gr arrows have 90 penetration so if bolts do more than that yes

[left isle]

anjd bison in hersh

[compact skiff]

@hoary niche I think that is out-penetrated by the fmj .470 rounds

[civic plank]

bison are the easiest money makers

[hoary niche]

yeah the crossbow has higher peak draw weight than any of the bows so i think its higher

[solemn bolt]

Are mela roe deer rare

[left isle]

and he m1 is great for red deer in hersh also

[hoary niche]

what map has the .470?

[compact skiff]

Vurhonga

[civic plank]

i can get fully through a moose with the cb70 and 600gr

[viscid sage]

Ok

[compact skiff]

The Chad of a db rifle

[solemn bolt]

Are mela roe deer rare

[compact skiff]

Yes

[civic plank]

isnt the 470 actually a 500 nitro express?

[viscid sage]

I’m almost thinking if I get any dlc I’d get smoking barrels and weapon pack 2

[solemn bolt]

Ok thanks

[compact skiff]

.470 is a step down from .500 iirc

[left isle]

not a bad choice @viscid sage

[civic plank]

ah

[hoary niche]

honestly weapon pack 2 is kind of outdated now thanks to smoking barrels

[compact skiff]

@viscid sage Why weapon pack 2? Smoking Barrels out-does every gun in pack 2

You should probably get pack 1 for the .22

[civic plank]

^

22>any other dlc

[left isle]

WP 2 has the grellick drilling gun. i hear its not a bad combo of you wanna grind shotgun

[compact skiff]

16 gauge is underwhelming

[left isle]

and i want 410 handgun lol

[hoary niche]

muzzleloader beats grelck, the garand beats the mosin, and the 1800's shotgun is probably more useful than the 45 colt

[civic plank]

the 22 out classes the shotguns for class 1 hunting

[viscid sage]

What about weapon pack 3? I’ve heard a lot about the .30-06

[civic plank]

the 3006 bolt until you get the recoil skill to manage the m1 better

[compact skiff]

The Garand is just a semi-auto .30-06

[viscid sage]

I want to hunt medium-large game btw

[hoary niche]

i think weapon pack 3 is the unloved child in the community hahah

[viscid sage]

Lol

[hoary niche]

like the pop gun is fun but it's just a gimmick, the rifle is nothing special, and the 22lr pistol gets outclassed by the 22lr rifle

[civic plank]

the 3006 bolt i cant recommend enough, the m1 just has too much recoil without the perks

[left isle]

what had the .22 handgun?

[hoary niche]

weapon pack 3 has the 22 handgun

[civic plank]

handgun is fun to use at the range though

[clever olive]

I think the .30-06 and sometimes the .22 handgun are the ones I use, I've never used the airgun simple because I just don't see them as medium game weapons

[civic plank]

22, 3006, muzzleloader

[left isle]

oh ya that right, its so unloved they wont even allow it in the hunting equipment collection

[hoary niche]

i hunt almost entirely on layton and i run muzzleloader, .223 for coyotes and 22lr for small game. those 3 weapons cover every single animal in layton

[civic plank]

3006, 223, 22 do aswell

[hoary niche]

well actually every single animal in the game lol

[left isle]

i like hunting hersh

[civic plank]

7mm 223, 22 also ecery single animap

@viscid sage if anything, get the 22 rifle its just the best overall class 1 rifle

[hoary niche]

honestly though i find the 223 underwhelming

i thought it was the perfect coyote rifle but it kind of sucks at killing them

[viscid sage]

Alright I’ll think about it

[civic plank]

243 can also fill the 223 slot

[hoary niche]

since coyotes are impossible to hit vitals with at the usual ranges you meet them

[left isle]

question, the .22 pistol get a scope?

[civic plank]

yes but not a good one

[hoary niche]

i might swap my 223 for the 243

[civic plank]

it has the pistol scope and a 1x reflexstyle sight but the reflex style sight sucks

they need to remove scope sensitivity that depends on zoom

[left isle]

i have noticed that the red dot is 5X bigger than any one ive ever used IRL lol

[hoary niche]

yeah doesn't every single rifle have the same scoped sway?

or am i just imagining things?

[civic plank]

well the one for the pistol is smaller but still ugly red dot

i think it might depend on how kuch space it takes upin bbackpack

like a rifle that has a weight of 4 will sway more than a rifle that has a weight of 2 but im not sure

[left isle]

does anyone acually use the backpacks when they arnt halling blinds?

[civic plank]

no, they make a ridiculous amount of extra noise

[hoary niche]

i maybe use the fanny pack if i want to carry an extra pistol but other than that, never used backpacks

[civic plank]

not even worth it to use

[hoary niche]

how does the extra visibility and noise work?

like it only says 'extra noise: 3' in the fanny pack

what does 3 mean at all? lmao

because it surely can't be 3 full bars of extra noise

[civic plank]

no idea

[left isle]

oh. and this game needs some repositions of the static nonpaid blinds along with the ambusher skill tree revamp, cause WHO THE FUCK PLACED THOSE.

[viscid sage]

ATM my loadout is the .243, bow, deer grunt call, binoculars, and scent eliminator

[hoary niche]

@viscid sage i'd suggest swapping out the 243 for the 270

only advantage the 243 has is coyotes but coyotes suck

[viscid sage]

Yeah I’m most likely gonna but the .270 tomorrow I have almost 60k

[left isle]

I SO USE THE FREE STRADAVARIUS SOMETIMES.....CAPSLOCK!!!

[hoary niche]

but there's a free .270?

unless it was some sort of limited time thing? idk

[civic plank]

i got it and i bought the game three weeks ago

[viscid sage]

Not for me bc I joined in 2018

[civic plank]

rip

[hoary niche]

medieval are you absolutely sure you don't have a free .270?

[viscid sage]

I wish I could get a free .270

[left isle]

check your shop and storage, i forget where it starts at

[viscid sage]

I’ll check tomorrow but I’m almost 100% sure, unless it went straight to my locker

[hoary niche]

it's a special edition, like not the .270 but .270 stradivarius

[left isle]

i think it does

[hoary niche]

you have to 'buy' it from the shop, it's free though

[viscid sage]

Ah ok

I’ll check and see

[hoary niche]

there's two .270 rifles in the shop i think, the free one and the sucky one

[left isle]

the same think happens with the weapon pack DLC weapons, yo half to buy them for $0

[viscid sage]

Yeah I’ve seen both in the shop

[hoary niche]

yeah, definitely get that. the .270 is way superior for large animals than the .243

it can still struggle at downing big animals so i'd recommend getting the 7mm asap if you don't plan on getting any DLC

[viscid sage]

Yeah I found that out in beta😂 I one shot almost every whitetail unless I didn’t go for a lung shot and I dropped moose a lot quicker than with a .243

[hoary niche]

it's funny how the .243 sucks (without polymer tips)

brand new lvl 0 accounts definitely have a hard time with .243 soft points even with regular ass deer, i know i did

[viscid sage]

Yeh😂 I remember buying my first polymer tip for the .243 and how well it did compared to soft tip

[left isle]

7mm is the only think to get without dlc, everything is second to gettin that

[hoary niche]

yep. 7mm is especially good because it downs anything between blacktail deer and bison

[left isle]

penitration = win in this game the spread bullets are unrealistic and useless as its currently coded

[hoary niche]

with full integrity, though it won't quick kill moose that often

i've double lunged lots of moose with the 7mm and they still run like 150m before dying

i think that's probably more due to the fact that moose are the fastest animal in layton

[viscid sage]

As of right now I think I’m definitely getting weapon pack 1

2*****😂

[left isle]

the spread bullets should make a aninimal bleed out more and faster, and the hardtips should help with bad shots though bones and the like, but the bleed rate of both bullet types is the same.

[viscid sage]

Lol

[hoary niche]

i still think that smoking barrels obsoletes weapon pack 2, but if you want it it's still pretty good

[viscid sage]

Soft tips have more expansion and polymer tips have more penetration right?

[left isle]

@viscid sage they should but they dont. just get poly tips. they bleed exactly the same ( soft tips should make it bleed more)

[viscid sage]

oof

Would you want soft tip or polymer? Because I thought u would want the bullet to penetrate more

[left isle]

soft tips should make it bleed out faster if you get a good shot (aka lung,liver) penetration is if you got a bad shot you can still get though shoulder and hit a lung. but a soft tip good shot does nothing benefical in this game unfortunatly

[viscid sage]

Ohhh okay that makes sense

[left isle]

tldr, soft tips are shit in this game, great IRL

[viscid sage]

Lol

[compact skiff]

Isn't expansion just useless in this game?

[viscid sage]

I thought it was too, I thought I remember in the tutorial doc saying that u wanna change to polymer tips fast or something

[left isle]

yup abomination. it doesnt work

[viscid sage]

It was there or some video I hear did for cotw

[compact skiff]

So you almost have to get the expensive ammo

God it's like playing Tarkov all over again

[viscid sage]

That sucks tho. One of the many things that needs to be fixed.

[left isle]

i wish it worked, i would love taking only good shot if it ment not chasing things 2 miles

[viscid sage]

I wonder if EW would listen to us that we don’t want high tier animals atm, but we want bugs to be fixed and have working ammo and working sights

[left isle]

but just stick with the double lung shot from pen rounds

the ammo types have been here since the game launched. they have had some time

[viscid sage]

Yeah

I do believe thought that cotw is the closest game to realistic hunting

[solar pumice]

Not a very packed genre to be fair lol

[viscid sage]

I seem fine with soft tip on the .243 as long as I land a single lung or double lung, but I’ll definitely look into the free .270 when I get on tmrw

[left isle]

i would disagree. some of the cabelas games were more realistic. just looked less pritty due to being older.

and the difference between rounds should have been coded when the bullet choice was given.

[viscid sage]

True

[viscid sage]

This is the most dead I have seen this chat

[quick coral]

I just woke up... I'm still here :)

I hoped we would kinda keep this fabled chat alive.. I loved the people here

[viscid sage]

Oh😂yeah it’s a great chat

I need to go to sleep soon lol

[quick coral]

Oh. U are on the other side of the world I imagine :p

[viscid sage]

Yep. USA

[quick coral]

Well I'm in Denmark..

[viscid sage]

Neat

[quick coral]

:D

[viscid sage]

Just finished editing this photo of a lake in Layton

[quick coral]

Oooh. Looks hella good !.. u posted it it pictures yet ?

Photography sorry.

[viscid sage]

No not yet I just finished it a minute ago

[quick coral]

Ah, it looks rly good :)!

[viscid sage]

Thanks

[valid surge]

go to bed

[viscid sage]

What if I don’t want to

[valid surge]

then dont

[hazy lion]

I can't wait for the next mystery or at least be able to find a GO in game.

[ocean tulip]

wonder what the other great ones are gonna be

Cause I could have sworn someone said the great ones aren’t non typicals all together but the whitetail is?

[torpid pumice]

so great ones and nontyps are separate?

you can get a normal level deer that's non typical

[analog flower]

GOs are special animals and separate from non-typicals

[torpid pumice]

so it doesn't need to be a go to be nontypical

[graceful mural]

we should really call them Fabled and not Great Ones

[analog flower]

Non-typicals will be released somewhere in the future. In the next update we will get a whitetail fabled one.

And they want to roll these out to other species too, like they are doing with truracs. And they are not exclusive to antlered animals too. Stuff like old, battle hardened bear with scars could be a fabled one too. Something unique and special 🙂

And agreed. Fabled one sounds a lot better and is the actual level of the animal it seems like.

[tall vortex]

Would love if they made the animals vary in size relative to their weight. That fabled battle hardened huge bear would be quite the sight 🤩

[analog flower]

It would be awesome! But I remember them saying in stream that it's a technical limitation for now. But if they manage to overcome it then it would be a great addition.

[hardy totem]

TRUweight would be Sooo very very much welcome <3 It would make herds and packs more varied and with a natural feel to 'em. However, it may be because the multimounts. Some like foxes lunch or friendly competition may need to be adjusted to individual weigh percentages or there may be clipping and stuff

[pliant oak]

TruFUR also varying coats wounds

some have scars like lion for eg

[hardy totem]

TruPIEBALD too... oh man...
Well some species like the red fox and yotes have some variation in the common varieties but... yeah

[graceful mural]

idk if we need a whole system for fur types, but some variations would be nice

couple different flavor piebalds

[hardy totem]

Well, I dont know how itd be in most animals, but there could be some markings /patterns or something that gets added to the base color of the animal with random opacity.
I think there are many other things thatd come up first tho

[graceful mural]

oh, very many

[hardy totem]

truracs for all species heeheee and nontyps!!. I think scars would be easier to add than a whole new layer system to the fur

[full cave]

Fallow deer can come in so many beautiful fur colors irl

One like this would be cool for instance

[hardy totem]

arent there alive pictures?

but yeah, more variations could be nice

i dont particularly like fallow deer, but silver, marble foxes... dayum

[full cave]

Albeeno

[hardy totem]

for some reason i think you have all these pictures saved in your pc lmao.
they kinda scared me a little seeing how many there were.

Is this considered spam? I... I dont know. =o

[full cave]

Well I don’t know I guess its better than having a dead discord xD

[hardy totem]

i guess so.. I think my favourite is the black mante with white undertoned one. FIrst collage, snowy one

[full cave]

Yeah that one is cool

Talking about fallow, is this diamond?

I’ll go get em

[hardy totem]

hmm, not sure. If its 4 and has a rreally huge rack, it COULD but best not to get false hopes

[valid surge]

bout to get trolled

[compact skiff]

Get him

[valid surge]

waiting for him to go broadside, to lazy to walk over there

[hardy totem]

with the 22LR you can shoot a warning, if you are far away they wont hear the sound of the rifle, but the missed shot will make them alert, theyll walk around a little

that trick makes so animals position themselvs differently

You kiiinda need to know the status of the animal too, so you dont shoot again if they are not calm

[valid surge]

meh, already walked around the lake

well i just f:ed that one up

[hardy totem]

oh no

[valid surge]

[tropic musk]

Flummy#7223 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[valid surge]

it was also dark red

[hardy totem]

damm... what did you hit?

[valid surge]

the just clipped the lung into the stomach

but it was 38.8 and diamond requiremend is 39

[hardy totem]

oh... OH ajshdkjjjj well....

Thats... oddly fortunate

[valid surge]

meh this game hates me still

[hardy totem]

whenever something like this happens, i declare war on a species.
i kill all males i see. Like, id be hunting whatever, but id kill them all if I find them.

[valid surge]

i did

[hardy totem]

Iberian Wolf War was hell

[valid surge]

but i joined somones live yesterday and he said not to kill everything, ruins the spawns

[hardy totem]

not everything, like... in your case, youd need to kill male pumas

it worked for me and the wolves and moose at least

[full cave]

Does anyone know any good gredos ibex spots besides the lake bottom left of map?

[valid surge]

i joined to kill that puma, saw him about 2 months ago never though about hun until now

i quit when i got trolled on a mule deer last time

[hardy totem]

@full cave theres two there, the big one and one thats also close to the outpost. I like to visit those two. I dont know of more tho, but Id visit all lakes in their territory

damm.. i think i messed up some diamonds too, when i didnt know they existed

The game doesnt teach you about levels or anything, i remember seeing 2 lvl 3 roe deers, one or two lvl 3 whitetails and 1 lvl 5 blacktail.

If they were diamonds... i dont know, i didnt pay attention back then

[cobalt dagger]

I'm sure I massacred a few diamonds with the 7mm when I first started and was just shooting everything for money.

[valid surge]

i knew some levels on animals, i remember just running past lvl3 whitetails and stuff... i only knew level on moose

[hardy totem]

So, question... if theres higer males spawning in when you kill males... Im assuming it works the same with females. So for females that are based on weight / skull... could it be possible to make them grow like it is with antlered males?

oof, i assumed everything maxed out at lvl 10 or something

so I didnt care about those lvl 3 roe deer, becasue... lvl 3

[valid surge]

relatable

[full cave]

I wish male deer could grow and shed their antlers over time just like irl and have your own managed population in your map that’d be so cool trying to get quality antlers on your own population by hunting the smaller ones

[valid surge]

here is a young flummy hunting moose i remember tracking it, then hearing it on the other side of the map. next thing i know there were the hugest moose ive seen

it was a troll

[hardy totem]

OOOOH not bad hahahh

i had a lvl 4 that was HUGE like... SO HUGE... it was like 10? or so? points off diamond. Turns out it only had 1 front palm. :c

i have him in my freakshow lodge now

[valid surge]

lodges didnt extist back in the old days :p

[hardy totem]

yeah... i came im when lodges were a thing

[valid surge]

you didnt get to experience the halloween event?

[hardy totem]

nope

[snow folio]

So non-typicals are not coming to the game??? I really hope they are....

[hardy totem]

they are not comming... Yet

its not confirmed they are comming, but heavily hinted at

[midnight karma]

They are adding them later

[full cave]

@snow folio read this

Recap from EW's stream: The point of the beta wasn't Non-Typical Whitetails. It was meant to be the introduction of the new medal being added. "Great One". The "Great One" feature is only available for Whitetails at the moment. This new medal's purpose is to have a chance at spawning an animal (Whitetails, again for now). With something special in the game, which you will not find normally. An example of this could be...Non-Typical racks, a never before seen rare fur variation (Fabled Piebald)...possibly more.

[gritty vortex]

@sturdy niche are we ever gonna see cross platform cotw

[valid surge]

why u gon @ him like that

[gritty vortex]

So he can see it

[full cave]

Not supposed to @ the big man. In rules under j

@gritty vortex It's highly unlikely

[compact flax]

sorry but, chances are, if he does see it, you won't be here to get the answer you're looking for

and why are you even talking about it here in?

[compact skiff]

They talked about it before

I would be buggy as hecc

As annoying as that fact is, pc players will have to play with pc players, and console with console players

[full cave]

RDR2 whitetail buck... take note EW

Yes can’t wait for non types. They need to hurry and finish the red deer truracs!! Then maybe they’ll start working on that! Hopefully

[civic plank]

that wt doesnt have a realistic rack in any form

[sturdy niche]

Yeah just gotta say the racks in RDR2 are not that realistic at all

[civic plank]

it looks like red deer antlers in a wt form

[compact skiff]

It doesnt even look that good

[civic plank]

have heard the legendary animals are cool though in rdr2

[timid sentinel]

the body looks good, antlers look poopy in RDR2

[twin sonnet]

@compact skiff it looks kind of cuddly lol

[compact skiff]

Too much fur, looks like something you'd see in the middle of a snowy forest or something, idk

I'm not good with anatomy but from the whitetails I see and hunt irl they certainly dont look like that

[full cave]

this man said "take note". He needs to take some notes on what wt racks look like.

[timid sentinel]

The legacy whitetail racks in COTW were GOAT

[compact skiff]

Now that Kiwi is here, can we ask for a channel dedicated for suggestions and ideas?

[full cave]

^I could only imagine the arguments in that channel.

[graceful mural]

Hyunicorns when

[keen juniper]

I mean, most of what people want they are already working on or have in their roadmap

[twin sonnet]

I hear the hyunicorns are coming JUNE 31st

[graceful mural]

ok good

i'll save the date

[twin sonnet]

Already marked my calendar :p

[zinc forge]

Shit, I read (failed ones chat)

[graceful mural]

hehe

[zinc forge]

Sorryyyyy

[twin sonnet]

lol

[full cave]

Treekiwi i know racks not the greatest however the over all body shape and fur shading is alot better IMO I hoping EW does something to the models for Fable..you can't just put a new rack on old models 😩

[graceful mural]

yea they can

[torpid pumice]

what's wrong with the old model

[compact skiff]

They're the exact same. A level 1 whitetail looks the exact same as a level 3 except for the antlers

[torpid pumice]

fair

[graceful mural]

TruBod

[twin sonnet]

LOL Sounds like an Axe spray scent

[sturdy niche]

Nah. The suggestions channel would be wasted really. We get plenty of feedback and there is nothing wrong with discussing ideas in the general chat?

[compact skiff]

In the general chat, they just get drowned by the rest of the conversations

But fair

[hollow shell]

wen will the new update be lauched?

[torpid pumice]

probably soon

[twin sonnet]

TASCAM, TK stated in the last EW stream he was expecting a timeframe of like 2-5 weeks.

[torpid pumice]

like in the next week

okay that's a lot longer than i thought

[sturdy niche]

We got a lot of feedback to work on 😁

[twin sonnet]

[quick coral]

Hello. :) How are u All today
