I don’t know about that. I’ve recently gone into spots I’ve never hunted before on Layton and having a fair bit of luck. Missed out on a diamond rabbit. Found probably 15 new rest zones a couple of them coyote wich I thought was nice as they don’t seem to drop zones ever.

Ya Layton you only get moose and wt or moose and bt or elk and moose. Only have one spot that has elk moose and wt sharing a zone at same time

[full cave]

Oh yea for sure. Rabbits are a plague on the map. Everywhere you look it seems theres an overabundence of rabbits 😹

[restive cedar]

Not on mine. I killed them all lol

[full cave]

Hahaha sweet!! I try to as well. Tjeyre so annoying I try to kill everyone!! Ducks used to be that way but thank goodness that the last patch reduced their pop. I hated sitting in a stand waiting for WT and having a hundred mallards squawking away nonstop and driving me insane 😹

[vital geyser]

Ducks need to be redone like geese

Idk why they have to have different gameplay styles

I kinda wish turkeys just roamed the map randomly

Rsther than be zone ties

I also hope the next map is more like srp

With longer feed zones

I think it just make sthe game better

I feel like srp is one of the best maps because of that

[restive cedar]

I like the certain bit of challenge Layton gives. Not just a shooting gallery like srp. It was so well thought out. If only the go was worked out and a couple levels added to the wt in general. Even the side missions were great on it. Couple of them were a pain but I got thru them. Just takes time

Also feels like I’m hunting in my backyard lol

[full cave]

wym?

[vital geyser]

A game replacement

And I have heard about that one game youve been talking about

But God knows how long thatll take and if itll be good

as of right now, the best competition for cotw is classic but thats still EW and theres no where as many players as in COTW

[full cave]

to be fair cotw has "better" graphics (which naturally draw people in) and it's also available on xbox and PS4, classic is not.

[vital geyser]

Yeah basically all of that is true

And playstyle is very different

I play both games but personally stick to cotw because it was the game i was drawn to first and it was just a lot faster to grind on

I see cotw just being a lot more forgiving and welcoming to newer players

If classic was on console thered prob be a decent amount of players on it but tbh like you said graphics will take most of the players, especially the younger ones

[analog flower]

How do you know? Do you work there? What is their internal roadmap? They know, they have more ways to acquire feedback from across all the sources than anyone thinks. "I'm not spending 1 cent or 1 Minute into this game until they prove theyre "trying" to improve the quality" Have you read #693063835828879440 lately?

Honestly, this chat should be about the GO and the grind. Not moaning and complaining channel.

It's the same things on repeat here. Constantly. Talk about the GO here. That's what the channel is for.

[analog flower]

Now on anything that is not about the Great one, will be removed. Just like any other channel.

[sturdy niche]

T-Dogg mate, I told you lots at the start that Grinding for a Great One was a dangerous thing to do... it can drive you crazy! 😸

[willow prawn]

^

[full cave]

i think people just get fcking PISSED when a animal that is a once in a lifetime sight spawns as a diamond whitetail that needs to go on a diet

tbh i dont know the status of great one patches

i just know i lost my lodge when they came out, and i have resented them ever since

[sturdy niche]

Yeah I can understand that

Please keep the chat on topic thanks!

[full cave]

...

[heady lintel]

"Please keep the chat on topic thanks!"

[restive cedar]

So has there been a GO ever recorded on console? Am I wasting my time looking for one? When the patch does come to console will it be doing a pop reset on the wt?

[full cave]

Yeah

[willow prawn]

Yes there has been @restive cedar

[full cave]

That’s what I meant

[vital geyser]

https://www.reddit.com/r/theHunter/comments/kmvpwn/today_i_got_mine_too_i_see_a_lot_of_hacked_go/

Another one popped up on the reddit dunno how valid it is though

[full cave]

seems legit

[full cave]

Has anybody seen any of the other 5 spawn post patch?

[cerulean palm]

nope but how many great ones have we seen post patch/in the past. its not like they are exactly regularly found

[magic phoenix]

Before they work on anything else they need to fix the great ones and allow all racks to spawn. Which would stop the overweight whitetails from spawning hopefully

[heady lintel]

How do you know they aren't all spawning currently?

[full cave]

Well the only one before any patches was the OG. After that its been the 1 weve seen here everytime. Out of all the 6 I myself have only seen tbose 2 variations posted here 🤷

Can't be just coincidence

Also after the first patch I myself havent seen any sight of the OG. I'm not in every discord but in many. Havent seen the OG since the first GO patch.

There were a couple but those players said they didnt have the update of the current time.

As far as this patch goes Ive seen 4 GOs posted in various discords and theyre all the same. Having 6 variations what are the odds of that?

[wise crane]

Prob the last 5 or 6 i have seen posted had the same rack. Something is wrong def

[full cave]

Id agree. With that amount of varient it can't possibly be coincidence . I could be wrong 🤷

[red root]

That really fat one right?

[full cave]

Is this real someone sent me this

[vital geyser]

No

Thats legacy rack

Just a photoshop

[analog flower]

Not even photoshop. In the GOs beta, other animals gave fabled one rank too and I remember reindeer was one. So I'd say that's from that beta.

[vital geyser]

Well i may be wrong but in the beta there were reindeer truracs

[vital geyser]

Lol i found what the main GO rack is vased off of

[crude granite]

That's it alright!

[full cave]

the main GO rack? we dont know what the main GO rack is because no one knows the GO situation

are they spawning? who knows? there so rare

[vital geyser]

I only say its the main one because its the one everyone is finding🤣

[crude granite]

Well it's the one everyone is finding except me and you mate 😂

[vital geyser]

Lol we got some Great Glitches thata forsure

[solar pumice]

Did anyone ever figure out why all the whitetails randomly disappear for a while?

[restive cedar]

On Xbox the white tails don’t regenerate properly so not sure if finding a GO would be possible. Anyone got some insight on this?

[vital geyser]

A go is possible theres just some overweights on it

Quite a few actually

[vital geyser]

Ive been trying to look into that but im guessing its a glitch

[solar pumice]

I havent seen any overweights, just every now and then whitetails get super hard to find

[vital geyser]

on console they're still being found

[solar pumice]

I got a 220.46lb just now, maybe barely overweight

[vital geyser]

No thats max weight

For imperial

[solar pumice]

It was a gold too lmao

[vital geyser]

that does happen

Sadly it does

[restive cedar]

Well I must just be extremely unlucky then. I’ve had herds of max weight wt never even seen a lvl 3. Had a 2 make diamond. And I’ve got somewhere in the range of 700hrs on Layton alone.

[vital geyser]

I myself have like 2 max weight golds

RNG is a bitch

or it can be

[restive cedar]

Rng?

[vital geyser]

Random number generation

Basically luck

[restive cedar]

Well luck is not usually on my side haha. At least if I could find an OW then I’d know I’m on the right track but seems WT in general are messed up on Xbox. And no I’m not killing them like crazy and deleting zones and I watch them move around to different areas in a zone after taking one or 2.

[rigid forge]

Also known as the Randon Number God or more simply RNGesus

[vital geyser]

Thats if youre blessed

[rigid forge]

Yeah, except sometimes I think RNGesus hates me

[crude granite]

I have a question. When you perform a pop reset does this reset your grind numbers /number of kills up until that point or does it reset it to 0 again? So in other words if I was close to getting a GO in the number of diamonds I had shot then did a pop reset would it cancel all diamonds shot up until that point? Hope someone knows what I am trying to get at. I just want to know whether I should stop the GO grind until the update on console or keep playing 🤨

[cerulean palm]

pop reset will entirely reset the population but this does not effect the chance of a great one spawning. its totally random, you could start a fresh map as a new player and one could be on the map or you could have shot 1000's of whitetail and still not had one appear. the devs have always said everyone has an equal chance at having one appear

[final chasm]

Has there been any talk of them adding another great one in the near future?

[crude granite]

Thank's for answering, really helpful

@cerulean palm

[cerulean palm]

no problem @crude granite

[cerulean palm]

I do believe they intend on adding more Great ones for other species but I think they need to get the whitetail great one working correctly before introducing anymore

[willow prawn]

^

[vital geyser]

Very much agreed

[ripe parrot]

moose be nice for GREAT ONE next!

[rigid forge]

i honestly think red deer are a better candidate because the level 7+ red deer have some sweet freakin racks

[full cave]

I only say no because there so unrealistic

World record red deer is like 440s SCI

That New Zealand stuff, which TK cited when people questioned the realism of red deer tru racks, don’t count because they are high fenced and farmed

Every level 7+ red deer is a GO lol

[magic phoenix]

Time to taxi every single one then

Just make level 7s rare as shit

[full cave]

Interesting the racks look like that, all the other animals seem somewhat realistic

But red deer got the high fenced branding in cotw

It’s true lol

Level 7s new GO confirmed

[nova river]

I like the big Red racks.

[full cave]

Like I have a massive 266 red deer tru rack from hrisch, it’s ridiculous

[full cave]

Doesn’t mean it’s realistic

[nova river]

Never claimed so, it's a game

Doesn't have to be realistic.

[full cave]

Yeah I know

But it’s weird all the other animals are, despite racks maybe looking wankish or weird, are infact under sized or sized good

But the red deer are intentionally 3x more than what they are naturally

[nova river]

I mean. People always complain about stuff no matter what. EW went absolute massive with the Red Deer racks, and considering how iconic animal it is, I don't have anything against this decision. They look nice in my lodge.

[full cave]

I mean yeah

I do like the good looking mule deer racks

If they deleted the ugly ones from spawning, I won’t complain

I like Mouflon

They’re done well

I do think a skull or horned species GO would be good, set in a almost “kill this crazy lion that has battle scars and is bigger than all the others”

And a bigger model, toned muscles

[nova river]

I think there are lots of potential in the whole GO idea. I can't wait to see what comes in the future.

[full cave]

Yeah me too

I do think that once, which is a very far out, all animals have GO variants, or at least big game, people will like it

Still rare ofc

Next I’d do mule deer

Or sika

Or Rocky elk

Those are my top

Have the GO predators be almost like mission animals

But without even a name

Just a chance for a huge wolf to spawn somewhere

Or any ____

[nova river]

I think that was their intention, to bring GO to every species, but I think they put it on hold bc of the current issues with the WT GO

[full cave]

Yeah

I like to think some random 4 year old on his Xbox on some rural town with terrible WiFi killed a melanistic GO, Messed it up, and didn’t tax it cause he doesn’t have a lodge or know what it is

[magic phoenix]

I have a massive 269.8 from cuatro its indeed ridiculous

[full cave]

Yeah it’s crazy

Weird the noticeable difference in like a 265 and a 255

Especially since the animals are so big

I have a small diamond from cuatro

[magic phoenix]

Its extremely noticeable

[vital geyser]

I honestly would prefer other GO animals rather than red deer

I just think theyre so big as is and making it bigger would be insane

Id rather they go for BT and mule to fill in that hole for non typs

[restive cedar]

That would be sweet to have mulie GO

[verbal smelt]

what is GO?

[round radish]

great one

[verbal smelt]

Ah... haven't encountered one yet...

[rigid forge]

Yeah, most players haven’t. They are mind-bogglingly, obscenely rare

Only whitetails have great ones atm, and you’d have to kill somewhere on the order of a thousand whitetail bucks just to have a chance of one spawning

[solar pumice]

If you guys had a herd of nothing but does would you recommend cleaning that herd out or leaving them?

[verbal smelt]

Only a thousand? I'm likely a third of the way there and I haven't even been focusing on them

I've likely killed 2-3K mallards and over 1k rabbits (still haven't gotten an albino or melanistic rabbit though) 😟

[serene oriole]

why did he leave the server after saying he found a big red deer

[vital geyser]

I would allow a couple of days for males to respawn and id knock out like 3 does a day

if no male comes back you could either get rid of the zone or just leave it and find another zone

[short lava]

If you are grinding jackrabbits there are no melanistics

[vital geyser]

What if EW made it to where each WT GO rack spawned in only certain parts of the map

[rigid forge]

Masochistic grinding intensifies

[magic phoenix]

Like the cactus spawns in balmont, the drop tines spawns in roonachee, the current rack spawns in norden

[vital geyser]

Yeah i think thatd be interesting

I doubt itll happen but just kind of a way to add to the challenge

[full cave]

I said this ages ago..who said all racks are spawning at the same time..they might be on rotation...but ofc i was an idiot for saying that..so now what.

[tight granite]

please add Walrus

[vital geyser]

Damn really, must not have seen it

But they def seem to ve on some kind of rotation or somethinf

When they first released there was that spiked up rack

And now its the current one

Its weurd and i dint thinkcit was actually intended

[vital geyser]

I think I found the references for this rack

It looks exactly like a rack that is just laid out lol

I think itd look better if it was twisted al ot more

[solar pumice]

Whitetail racks need a complete makeover imo, they just arent very realistic

[willow prawn]

Eh

The level 3’s (I’m on console so I still have the old racks) are fine

I liked the legacy racks more tho

[vital geyser]

The level 3s are okay, on PC the lower racks are god awful but most of the stuff 260 and up arent half bad

Legacies are def a dream for me

[solar pumice]

High level racks have too many points, silver and bronze should be 2-6 points, gold should be 7-11 points, and diamond should be 12 points and up

I mean the world record typical is only a 14 pointer, but golds have 18 points in this game

[late trail]

true

[vital geyser]

One of the silver racks us like 14-16 points🤣

But yeah ima just keep shoiting WT

Recently deleted a zine by accident so that sucks

[ripe parrot]

yes...they redid the Elk on Layton now its time for WT to get redone......

[ripe parrot]

my only WT Diamond before tru-racs

[solar pumice]

The pre-trurack whitetails were the most realistic

[blazing sable]

(I originally posted this on the cotw-bug-reports channel and was referred here by a Mod) I was incredibly fortunate to have harvested this Great One recently, but the weight was glitched to display "0.15 kg," and accusations of hacking/modding have tarnished this accomplishment. I'm not here looking for validation though, I simply wish to know more. Has anyone here observed this particular glitch after the recent update? I've submitted a ticket with theHunter support to hopefully make it known to the devs, and I've heard about other Great Ones having issues with properly displaying their weight, but any insight into this here would be very helpful!

[analog flower]

Do you have a screenshot which shows your name or latests harvets screen? Also did you happen to check its tracks? What weight estimate they showed?

[blazing sable]

This was harvested on Dec. 23rd, so I don't think he would be in my latest harvests screen, but let me pop in game and see if I can snag a screen shot of him in the hunting history section of the codex (if that helps). As for the track, I honestly can't remember for sure if it was displaying properly, as it was all a bit of a rush seeing this guy, but I think the track might have been bugged as well

December 22nd, sorry

Ok, here's my harvest history as of one minute ago; Great One is about halfway down

[analog flower]

Nice. Seems good to me. One same weight GO was posted here after the patch too so it's not the first one. I really want to know what the tracks say 😄

[blazing sable]

Sweet, thanks for the info! Man, I really wish I had the wherewithal to look at the tracks a little closer and take a screenshot, but I was just too excited when I spooked him out of the brush haha. I'll go double check all of my screenshots of him just to make sure

Yeah I've got nothing else other than some photos via the in-game camera and more harvest screen screenshots. Hopefully we find out a bit more about the post-update Great Ones!

[magic phoenix]

Damn thats a big rme diamond

513

[blazing sable]

@magic phoenix Thanks man! I think it must be close to max score, but I'm not sure. He was max weight though!

[magic phoenix]

Theres no max score for truracs animals

[blazing sable]

Interesting, I didn't know that. Learn something new every day haha

[timid sentinel]

Dang, seeing that legacy rack diamond whitetail makes me miss them so much

[blazing sable]

@magic phoenix I guess I thought that there was a hypothetical max score with TruRACS animals but I just don't know a ton about TruRACS scoring

[tribal pawn]

Recent harvest history isnt shown

[ripe parrot]

he was a monster..only one i ever seen in 3 years

[blazing sable]

@tribal pawn Are you referring to my post? There's no recent harvest history because my Great One was shot two weeks ago. My hunting history tab is the best I can do

[magic phoenix]

Im pretty sure he was referring to you

[tribal pawn]

Ye

[full cave]

@ripe parrot that’s a nice ass buck

[blazing sable]

@tribal pawn Yeah, all I have is the harvest history screen and the screenshots I mentioned above. I'm not an active poster here or on Reddit, so snapping a screenshot of my latest harvest screen did not occur to me. As a non-content creator I also do not have the luxury of having recording software/video footage to further support my screenshots, but I assure you that this was a legitimate kill. As @analog flower stated above, there has been at least one other Great One with the same weight glitch since the update.

[tribal pawn]

Ye. Theres just so many people that hack them in I don't instantly believe one is legit. Tell me about the hunt to get him if you don't mind

[blazing sable]

I feel you my man, hacking/modding has certainly been a challenge in terms of trophy credibility in our community. I actually appreciate the skepticism; I know it's done with the integrity of the game in mind, and I know most of us care deeply about the game and are angered by those who would cheat for attention or accolades. And certainly! I decided to do a pretty casual whitetail run through the Willipeg river system to find some new whitetail zones after the update and WT population reset, and towards the end of their drink time, I spooked a small herd of deer out of the brush. A few does ran out, followed by a small buck, and then the Great One trotted into view. I couldn't believe it. I stopped where I was, figuring I'd have a long tracking job ahead of me, but he went nervous just before leaving my line of sight and started returning to his drink zone. He turned broadside about 140m out and I was able to pile him up where he stood with the M1. For the record, I would like to say that my harvest was more attributed to incredible luck from the population reset and not hundreds and hundreds of respawns (although I've certainly logged hundreds of whitetail kills).

[tribal pawn]

Ok

That's the exact same way the 2-3 other (what seem to be legit) great ones that spawned after the Te Awaroa update were found (found after the update without any grinding)

[solar pumice]

Are GO’s glitched on console?

[tribal pawn]

Yes

[restive cedar]

Wt in general are glitched on console rn

[solar pumice]

Are they possible to get or are the weight glitched?

Ive been hunting them heavily looking for a GO and havent noticed any issues, other than diamonds are a bit more inconsistent now

[magic phoenix]

Wt are always glitched

We got 0kg GOs on pc

[solar pumice]

As long as they’re possible to spawn idc about the track weights

Most of my setups let me quickly see all the whitetail anyways

[tribal pawn]

1/6 can spawn on console

[solar pumice]

What is 1/6

[vital geyser]

Of the racks

[solar pumice]

You mean like only a sixth of the possible racks?

[tribal pawn]

means you have 1/6 chance you actually get a greatone rather than a overweight diamond

[solar pumice]

Derp

Well then

[rigid forge]

question: what is the chance of a great one spawning upon killing a whitetail buck? like 1/500, 1/1000, or even 1/1500?

[solar pumice]

No one knows but its extremely low

Some people have killed thousands I think and still dont have one

[rigid forge]

im gonna guess around 1/1000 or so

[full cave]

i can’t find whitetail at all

nothing but blacktail

1/10000000 chance to get a great one to spawn on a new map without grinding

[tribal pawn]

if you count all the overweight as diamonds since they actually should be greatones its around 800-1000 average

[full cave]

that means there could be a great one around your map

[solar pumice]

800-1000 actually isnt that bad

I wouldnt be surprised if my map has had a great one this whole time in an undiscovered need zone lol

[rigid forge]

i know what im gonna massacre next then lol

let's just say that whoever makes .30-06 is gonna get some good business

[vital geyser]

800-1000 really isnt bad if you put in the work

For me that took 2 months but for some people like scarecrow he had that in loke 8 days

[rigid forge]

time to spend a small fortune on tents, tripods, and ammo lol

[magic phoenix]

If they fix the racks and they all start to spawn. Great ones will be extremely common

[solar pumice]

You can easily knock out 50-75 a day with good tent and tripod placement

[magic phoenix]

You could 100s a day with blinds and constant game resets

[restive cedar]

They don’t need to be common. But achievable would be nice

[tribal pawn]

i averaged about 80 bucks per run which takes about 2-3hrs

im not wasting my time anymore untill they are actually fixed tho

[solar pumice]

Im split now if I should wait, i took a multi month break from the game and when I came back I had to make multiple adjustments to my whitetail setup

[tribal pawn]

up to you. i personally wouldnt

but if you dont have anything else you want to grind go for it

[rigid forge]

i'd do it lol

set time to drink time, leave game, enter game, massacre whitetails at drink zones, rinse and repeat lol

tho i will take some time to clean up the hunting pressure at my whitetail zones first

[solar pumice]

If you have enough setups you can constantly rotate among drink zones

Thats what I do

[rigid forge]

that's what i plan to do with my whitetail grind, then take some time to clean up the hunting pressure

[full cave]

With the amount of work needed I wouldnt say they'll become common if/ever they get fixed. I agree with AOA unless youre bored out of your mind its a gamble/risk. Hunt other things. If youre on console ATM I'm not sure what actually works. I play the game for 10 animals. Gos the 1st on the list. But current state on consoles is 8 of the 10 species I love to hunt are broken on console ATM. Who knows when well actually get the update. From the sounds of it that update doesnt really matter as far as the GOs go. They seem to be still frick8n broken. 🤷🤷🤷

That maybe considered complaining here,but its the 100% truth at the state of the game 🤷 It is what it is. Play other things until its fixed man.

[full cave]

Congrats on that GO tho!

[solar pumice]

Considering the amount of effort required to get a single 220lb+ whitetail to spawn, further giving yourself a 1/6 chance itll actually be a GO is a bit much for me though

[magic phoenix]

Ive realized that the strange elk are technically rarer than great ones, because 3 people have been confirmed to have one.

[rigid forge]

someone in flinter's server just got a GO with a glitched weight of 0.05kg lol

[ripe parrot]

i wish there was more 8 and 10 pointers with mass like that GO

[magic phoenix]

Someone on reddit has 2 great ones apparently

[vital geyser]

I saw

I have high doubts but its whatever st this point

[pliant oak]

GO have to come off a respawn

so unless something has changed you have to kill whitetail for them to happen

not just have them on the map randomly.

[tribal pawn]

It has changed. There has been 4 now that have been killed without grinding after Te Awaroa and all only 1 rack style

[pliant oak]

on console or pc ?

[tribal pawn]

Well console doesnt have Te Awaroa

So pc

[pliant oak]

hmm...interesting if not hacked in

as they are only supposed to come from a respawn

[crude granite]

A pop reset could be the reason that 4 GO'S have been killed since the update with no grind

[magic phoenix]

That could be

Im waiting for the pop reset for console

[crude granite]

Same Enderman

[pliant oak]

only 4 though you would think if they were just spawning naturally it would be more

also 1 rack only for those that bagged em

[crude granite]

I think that EW found a quick way to fudge the GO for time being with only the one rack spawning

[magic phoenix]

Im more excited for the pop reset than the new reserve

[crude granite]

Me too

[pliant oak]

has anyone got any links on the great ones that were took without grinding them

[crude granite]

A guy called garage if you scroll up a little bit was one of the people that got his GO after the pop reset without grinding

I think

[blazing sable]

Yeah, figure I could chip in here since I posted a few days ago. The GO I harvested seems to have spawned directly from the population reset (as eluded to by @tribal pawn). Between Dec. 10th and Dec. 22nd (the day I harvested the GO) I killed maybe a few whitetail bucks on my map, but none in the area where I had my encounter (and the GO certainly did not come from any of my known whitetail need zones). I've got a support ticket in the works, but it sounds like the weight bug/same rack spawning is a known issue at this point. If and when I hear back from that ticket, I can follow up here, but for now, all I have is around 20 screenshots of the harvest itself (in-game camera shots, harvest screen, and truscore evaluation screen), a screenshot of my harvest history (did not have the presence of mind to screenshot my latest harvests as I mentioned previously), and the GO itself in my lodge. I really don't know if there's anything else I can do to further legitimize my GO, but it checked out with @analog flower. As far as other GOs spawning off of the population reset I know very little, only what folks are saying in the comments above.

[pliant oak]

deffo interesting if they are just spawning like a normal animal

as thats either a bug or a total change in gameplay mechanics

[analog flower]

This makes me want to go and check my own map since I haven't been there since the update.

[magic phoenix]

Imagine when the console update comes out theres like 10 great ones in one day

[restive cedar]

With how many people that play the game it wouldn’t be unrealistic to see a few more pop up if they’re working somewhat properly once the patch hits console.

[crude granite]

It does seem like the patch has stopped the OW GO from spawning so I am counting the days until this patch drops. I will finally get my GO and move on with my life and never play this game again :) jk

[pliant oak]

it does but garage said he killed some whitetail so it may just of been a lucky respawn

what you need is someone to confirm getting a GO without killing a whitetail

[analog flower]

Ok, I know what I'll do after I finish my current video project 😄

[pliant oak]

haha yeah im just editing now lol

[analog flower]

I have 11 more shots to take

[full cave]

Maybe not true, a User in zaggi's discord Killed an underweight tiny buck, Possible that its the same issue yet reversed?

Would make sense too why none have been seen, Those are the type of bucks you pick up and instantly accept, never taking a look at the weight.

[wise crane]

Ye, that makes sense. The OW are now UW.

[pliant oak]

see this is the problem. people say they just spawn one person says one thing another says different

same with over weight

[vital geyser]

Oh my god i predicted this was going to happen

They are just underweights now

So stupid

So much for "fixing" them

I figured they werent anyways with only one rack being harvestes

Although they never stated they were fixed this is still very disappointing

[full cave]

Thats where "transparency" from EW would help. Without it all there will be is wild speculation. For some reason they avoid a "real" explanation noted at all about the GOs problems. Only bit of any information has come from a stream if somebody asks and TK gives an answer. They said theyd have more transparency but,well we know how well they keep their word on anything they promise 🤷🤷

[rugged roost]

Wait are great ones broken

[magic phoenix]

Kinda, they spawn as underweights that weigh less than 1 kg

[vital geyser]

Yeah and arent diamonds anymore lol they seem to spawn as near minimum scoring animals

But everytime i ask about GOs in a stream its always passed over

Like ill ask once or twice and not bother

But i havent heard much of anything about GOs on stream in a long time

[rugged roost]

Oh ok

[full cave]

Theyve always had issues Yolo. Yea I know beta. Same here. IDK if its cause their embarassed or just truely dont know. But its very frustrating as a consumer. We just want to know whats going on. I'm also very frustrated by the answer that they always give.... "I told you not to go looking for them cause you'll just go insane". Yes ive gone insane not because of the hunt and challenge. Thats why I actually "loved" the GO concept and the challenge of a GO. Ive gone insane cause theyve always had issues,we never get a straight forward answer about the GO amd WT have just had so many issues this past year. Yes it makes you sour towards the game 🤷

[vital geyser]

little boi

[inland igloo]

is that minimum weight or is it 55

[solar pumice]

Yeah, they dont need to make GO’s more common but there does need to be more transparency about what are issues and what aren’t

[vital geyser]

I think min is 55

Couldve been a 3 though

[calm reef]

Holy that beats my smallest by around 25

[wooden hornet]

what is "a run"? cause for me "a run" is going through all drinking whitetail zones I know (I just changed to feeding but that's a different topic). In order to get 80 bucks from one run of the map, if you have 10 whitetail drinking zones, means you average 8 bucks per zone which on my map at least is ridiculous 😄 cause I average 2-3. Even if you have 20 zones that means an average of 4 bucks per zone which is not the case in my experience. I'd really like if you post a video of a whitetail run, cause it has been way harder now with the new locations, I think a lot of people will appreciate it.

[tribal pawn]

Going to every drink zone on my map

This was back before they lowered whitetail spawns and I had 40 different whitetail drink zones

[ripe parrot]

I kinda hate the zones the deer always eating ,resting or feeding etc never move!!!!!I just wish they would travel the map for 4 hours you can sit in a tree stand and never see a thing

[pliant oak]

yeah you wont hit 80 bucks now not close totally different to how it was

i just been trying first grind at the go again today. had some nice results but its no where close to how it was previously

[neon cedar]

I had spots where the herd doesn't even come back to the zone

[wooden hornet]

oh I thought that was now. Too bad then. Maybe should have farmed before 😄

[magic phoenix]

Was this just gotten by said friend

[stable quartz]

omg

[magic phoenix]

Becuz that rack doesnt spawn currently.

[deft thunder]

It could have already been in his game and he finally killed it

[restive cedar]

Taken on console or pc

[deft thunder]

Looks like console

[magic phoenix]

Console

Xbox specifically

[restive cedar]

Pc doesn’t spawn that currently from what I understand. Console maybe? Just cause we don’t have the patch yet?

Ahh yes there’s the lb scroll so ya Xbox

[deft thunder]

Or it has just been sitting in his save

[magic phoenix]

Its also the cactus rack idk

[tribal pawn]

We already know who's it is

[full cave]

that’s mine, lol

Shot it back in May

[calm reef]

😂

[mortal prairie]

😳

[willow prawn]

Hmmmm

[full cave]

Another photo.
There all pretty crappy quality but I was so excited I could hardly contain myself 😆

[willow prawn]

Ok I believe you now lol

[full cave]

Lol

[vital geyser]

Lol hes posted it before so idk see the issue

[full cave]

People will ofc cry and call hacks..just because they dont have one..people actually dont support u..rather they question ur hard work.

[pliant oak]

well often its cause of people post other peoples gos claim as their own or they cheated to get them there isnt many legit ones thats been taken

would be cool to have a little sort of how many has actually been taken and by who

hopefully that happens in the future some sort of logging system

[full cave]

That’d be cool

Whenever the new map comes out on console, I think I might try to grind for a second GO.

I’d like to get that one that people been killing most recently

[pliant oak]

ive just started

filmed a very long video no editing turned out really well that will go out this week also im currently counting all my whitetail until hopefully i get one

[full cave]

Nice, good luck!

[mortal prairie]

I’ve started the grind on the great one

[cobalt sandal]

just spotted a great one on Xbox weight is perfectly correct and he’s the thick antler one that people have been seeing, didn’t get a shot as it was the end of drink time, he is a 100% confirmed respawn and not from a pop reset

Will send in a trophy shot when/if I get him

[willow prawn]

Hmm

It takes you 44 minutes to get a ss? @cobalt sandal

[cobalt sandal]

Lets go boys!!! Let me know if there are any other pictures i can take that prove hes mine!!!

[vital geyser]

Id say he looks legit

On console with the proper weight

[tribal pawn]

latest harvest pics shot distance ect would be cool

[cobalt sandal]

Latest harvests

Shot chart

[vital geyser]

Got it with the engraved 270 too

Thats a surprise

[willow prawn]

Nice man

[restive cedar]

Hot damn. Nice work you lucky bugger

[full cave]

Congrats bro

Does anybody know if the population will reset on the release of the new map for console?

I think i heard something about it somewhere

[ripe parrot]

Best rack in the game for Wt

[full cave]

If it does..theres really no harm in pushong for a great one while the old population is still there🤷‍♂️

[quaint thunder]

Any tips on grinding WT for a GO? I have all my tents set up and am constantly sweeping every body of water, but I get <15 bucks every sweep through. Anything yall reccomend?

[full cave]

Ur doing everything correctly id say...just have to hope for tue great one to actially spawn

[ripe parrot]

Wish there was big 8s and 10s with mass like that

[full cave]

I have killed over 2500 at this point..and still havent found one..soo o dont think theres a actual number thay triggers a respawn or anything i dont know

I think some guy got one to spawn on ar around 1000 give or take

That was a guy on here to i think

[quaint thunder]

I have killed several hundred myself with only a single diamond to show for it so

[full cave]

Yh theres been a bunch of diamond trolls on here to..i think thats a reasin they lowered the scoring on pc on their last update

[quaint thunder]

That has been my only level 3 WT so far too so

I think I just have bad luck lol

[full cave]

I have had 2 level 3s 🤣

But had alot of 2s make diamond

[quaint thunder]

Shiiiit not in my experience

[full cave]

When i se the 3s tho i paniced because i knew maybe they could be over weight great one

[quaint thunder]

The biggest 2s I have killed so far have been no bigger than 10 points from diamond

[quaint thunder]

That'd be a rip

[full cave]

Alot of people have had it happen

So its a thing

[quaint thunder]

What does it actually entail

Is it just GO weight on a normal diamond or?

[full cave]

But then a few people have got them legit sooo..its really sat inbyue middle

Its meant to be the great one i think

Just shows as a level 3..thats over 100kg

[quaint thunder]

But what classes it as an overweight

Ah

I would be perturbed

[full cave]

But this is why i want to know if the pop resets when console gets the new map akd update

[quaint thunder]

It does

[full cave]

Oh bro..id be so angry..but again...i cakt be that mad because we know it could mess up

[quaint thunder]

With all the fixes and the changes they made to trophy score it kind of has to happen doesn't it?

[full cave]

Yeah i suppose so

So really..if its going to reset..theres no harm in trying to push for a broken one🤣

If ir going to lose the progress anyway

[quaint thunder]

Yeah right

I did also hear that if you get a GO before the pop reset it sticks around so

Take that with a grain of salt though

[full cave]

Yh..no way to know thay for sure

Would be insane tho

Thayd a big boy multi mount🤣💪

[quaint thunder]

Fr

[full cave]

Its late and i cant type💀

[quaint thunder]

Flinter is gonna get a second lol

Hope it's an Albino

That'd be some shit

[full cave]

But yeah..im going to just grind it out then..if i get the over weight lvl 3..then its still easy cash🤣🤷‍♂️

[quaint thunder]

Yeah lol

[full cave]

Id love a pieblad great one

[quaint thunder]

Melanistic would be my fur type of choice

[full cave]

I think they look the best out ofbthe fur types

Thetes something about that golden brown on thay piebald that i love

[quaint thunder]

It is pretty decent

Sometimes

Other times it looks like the creature has a skin disease

[full cave]

Its basically hlf albino half normal..but that white makesthe brown like stand out

[quaint thunder]

Yeah

[full cave]

Yes

[quaint thunder]

We should move this conversation lol

[full cave]

100%

Ill be in general

[quaint thunder]

10-4

[full cave]

Roger roger

[ripe parrot]

EW needs a better system then shooting 2000 WT fables should be added more often but never go to resting ,feeding drinking zones etc , they just travel the map and only comes to calls on a chance would make them really hard to get

[solar pumice]

They were never added to be dedicatedly hunted

[pliant oak]

they are supposed to be like a unicorn just a chance you may get one

just constantly travelling nah dont like that idea

somethings could be tweaked to be better though but often that comes down to personal pref as what that would be

[ripe parrot]

Well with the maps right now only 20% is used there spots on LLD I never seen any tracks and mostly around water. Be nice to sit in a tree stand and see something walk by. Not calling or setup beside a need zone

[pliant oak]

i think you will always have more popular spots and that actually makes sense to do so but yeah some spots can be empty or.....very slow

still think how the drink need zones were before were far better and far more fun

only thing that really needed tweaking was racks spawning correctly and the over weight issue. nothing needed tweaked as far as zones or where the whitetail visited. maybe it was done to make whitetail hunting less predictable and more longevity especially with the great ones as something that was really hard became x10 harder with the zones change.

[full cave]

100% Totally agree with that. At least it wasnt like the patch before where they were drinking 200-300 yds up in the forest anymore. Theres a few that still drink in the middle of the forest but not nearly as many. They mostly actually drink by water in a drink zone

[orchid frigate]

I wish whitetail zones would be fixed

Like I cant see why my zones keep randomly moving but only for the few whitetail ones

There's probably 20 blacktail zones on my map but only 5-6 whitetail ones

[vital geyser]

Yeah grinding heavy on WT will cause their zines to shift on occassion

Idk why but its the only animal that does that

And their herds dont work at all compared to the mule/BT herd system

WT are very weird

[orchid frigate]

Yeah it's really dumb if you ask me

I cant even target them because there's so little of them to begin with lol, might just be that my map got messed up at some point somehow

Where there's a lodge right next to the little lakeish thing?

here?

[vital geyser]

For me I have a zone in that far left undiscovered lake

And I have one down that river near the top

[mortal prairie]

I have a wt zone at that undiscovered lake and I probably have a herd of 20

[pliant oak]

i was up there yesterday was quite a few whitetail

[full cave]

I’m a little late but congrats on the Great One!!!!!

[cobalt sandal]

Thank you bro!

[willow prawn]

Damnnnn

[real panther]

Nice

That’s a super happy hunting dog there lol ... he’s smiling

[full cave]

Wut?

What are you talking about?
I have only killed one

No, it’s just a side photo

I’m pretty sure I know what my GO looks like, lol

It’s just the angle of the photo, I mean was literally there lol

Who?

Yea that’s the same one, see that orange, that’s actually my orange hunting hat lol

Reflection from it

Idk I’ve posted a few times so who knows

Lol,

[analog flower]

Please tell us why he stole someones GO and presented it as their own 😄 I want to know why people do it lol

[sage sparrow]

Because they want to be special snowflakes apparently, you think people would learn by now

[full cave]

Lol

[sage ingot]

Because they want attention, they do it with super rares too, some are jealous, some are mad, it's just for attention that only actually bites them in the ass in the end.

[full cave]

Wait...who faked what?

[magic phoenix]

A friend of kryx

[quaint thunder]

Just grind for one like everyone else :p

I've been grinding for a month and have only gotten 1 small diamond so I see why you'd wanna fake it but I mean cmon

[willow prawn]

True

[sly oak]

They should have a channel just for great ones like they have for super rares to make it easier to see them all

[full cave]

lol

What is this

Not like this

also you cant shoot any more like that so lol fake

[tribal pawn]

That was when they first came out

[tribal pawn]

And where is this pic from

[full cave]

which one mine

[tribal pawn]

The lodge one

[full cave]

Mine

That's from my lodge.

[tribal pawn]

Reading past messages from you seems like you hack that's a shame

[full cave]

How

You are stupid as fuck like every one thinks I hack like go look at my videos on twitch

[tribal pawn]

How many hours do ya got and wheres the harvest pics

[full cave]

I have all most going on 2k hours

[vital geyser]

Damn he got agro quick

Wouldnt say it helps the situation

[tribal pawn]

Ye it doesn't

And harvest screen pics?

[full cave]

Well you cant say I hack when I dont

[tribal pawn]

Well you say you've killed 3 and offered another guy 1 so I'd say that's pretty sus

And aren't posting the harvest screens

[full cave]

No i did not

[full cave]

😂

Yes three I have seen on my map Which they are all gone now because people have been hunting the shit out of my map and I have been also map jumping to my different pc accounts to shot 3 of them

[tribal pawn]

You said you have 3 in a mount

[full cave]

Yes I do

[tribal pawn]

...

[full cave]

I dont think anyone has even legit killed two yet.

From jumping from 3 of my pc

Theres a user in here that has 52 diamond whiletail, with 14k Harvested so I really doubt that lol.

[wise crane]

Prob not

[full cave]

I own this game on 3 accounts

[tribal pawn]

Yeah I'm considering this hacked lol

[full cave]

no bud it not hacking'

No proof 🤷‍♀️

Your not showing any proof.

If you make a sever on 3 different accounts thats not hacking

[tribal pawn]

And lying untill I show proof of things you've said

So yea I'm not going to believe much you say after that

[full cave]

Thats ok you dont need to

Because I know I did not hack so get good kid

You say look at your channel you have screenshots but nothing els.e

flinter showed you where to look so go look for your selfs

english pls

[tribal pawn]

This wasnt about looking for one

Was disputing your hacked ones

Anyway I'm done here

[full cave]

They point out where they have been.

And thats where I went and look.

You have 3 in a multi mount then 3 on multiplayer you killed on another account? That is 100% hacks lol.

Think what you want

[wise crane]

Are you hacking or lying?

[full cave]

None.

I know for a fact that is modding.

Because the maps I hunt the most is layton.

If you do indeed have "6"

With 3 days no sleep grind.

😂

[analog flower]

You gotta understand one thing. We've had so many hacked GOs posted here that people won't believe even a single GO unless there is solid proof. Getting three? Pretty unrealistic but if you can back that up, nice.

[full cave]

They have 6 apparently

They killed 3 on 3 accounts then they have a multimount of 3.

[tribal pawn]

is clearly lying

[full cave]

Like I said before believe what you want

😂

[tribal pawn]

And this is the reason we dont just believe anything that gets posted

[tribal pawn]

He posted confirmed hacked pics in #🦌︴trophies lol no wonder he hesitated on those killscreen pics

[sage sparrow]

And posted species that were on two different maps so I doubt he was server hopping and joined two hacked lobbies

And apparently 6.5k people follow him for that garbage

[full cave]

I just went and watched some of the youtube content he has...i think he hacked them in tbh

[magic phoenix]

Someone on reddit has 2 apparently

[rotund raft]

I have a whole lodge filled exclusively with diamond Jackalopes, now where did I store that pic?

[serene oriole]

Ok what does politics have to do with the great one

[analog flower]

None

[serene oriole]

Thank you

[autumn garnet]

8k kills zero great ones...clearly lying

6 could probably be done i suppose by having 5-10 people dedicated to whietail removal on a single server all day every day, then have a single player shoot them when they are found , i guess i need more friends....

[vital geyser]

Heres my issue with dragging friends on a grind

Some guy a good bit ago had his GO break when opening his server to MP

[pliant oak]

doubtful tbh

[full cave]

i heard about one get having like 8 at one lake on release

i heard it from a guy who posted one back on release day

i dont know if GO hacks would be avalible then

but idk

he said he killed 1 or 2 and the server owner killed the rest

[tribal pawn]

that was also hacks

[pliant oak]

there is only a handful of legit ones as said previously would be nice if captures and when people get them they are saved logged so people can look at them

problem is telling whats legit or not

[fluid jewel]

i never got diamond shit till i started using your maps @tribal pawn now ive managed to get 2. people need to lay the cheats down and just use your maps

[tribal pawn]

Glad they help dude

[fluid jewel]

they fukn rock man. thanks for putting them out there for us

[ripe parrot]

How many GO been shot since they came out?

[full cave]

Yea the problems theres so many ways to cheat. So sad. Not as many as far as console is concerned that I'm aware of. Just lame

[full cave]

So question for all the pc people. I see the Truracks update will finally be released to all on the 9th. But as far as WT/GO is concerned is truracks scoring fixed? Meaning from the Intel ive heard is lvl2 WT make diamond bit not so much with level 3s? I know GOs are just spawning as the 1 varient that have been posted over and over like the OG was. Has anybody seen any of the other variants?

[full cave]

Has anybody got a LVL3 diamond or just LVL2 as diamond?

Just wondering cause thats the "classic indication" the species is broken when LVL2 makes diamond but not LVL3. 🤷

[pliant oak]

got two back to back other day

lvl 3

[full cave]

Ok cool. You got back to backs?!?!? So 2 LVL 3 diamonds on your map?!?!?!? That would ve awesome! Never seen that before outside of the GO beta when Or my had 2 on his map at the same time!

So that must prove what we've been told that you can only have 1 diamomd of a species on your map at one time is false!!! Way cool!!

Thanks Ron! Just trying to determine my "expectations" for this patch should be. Idc about the new map. Not buying it,just want the Trurack update

Hoping the GO will be fixed bit seeing the same one over and over def has me suspicious. If its a step in the right direction,then thats great news. But sad if its only a step cause it's been around for 9 months that the GOs been a thing. Maybe in 9 more months all will spawn legit 😹😹😹😹😹

[pliant oak]

i did a really long video on hunting for the great one no editing its 45 minutes long

yeah two diamond level 3s back to back

at different areas

its not uncommon two have 1 or two diamond whitetail

im a 150 whitetail in at moment bagged two female albino blacktails and a diamond coyote

so its going well upto yet

[full cave]

Dang!! That's awesome!! Congrats man!! Sweet!! Ive never seen that. I just believed what they were saying as far as how many diamonds of a specific species could be on one map!! Way cool!!

[vital geyser]

Yeah diamonds can make lvl 2

For me they were actually the 255 rack that makes it at 2

But yeah ive bagged like 4 diamonds i think

Did the grind for id say 200-300 WT

[sly oak]

After the last patch on console I had a melanistic lvl 1 whitetail and a piebald lvl 2 in the same herd. Then when I came back the second time they had both rewpawned as level 3s but only 1 made diamond

[sweet sleet]

pic?

[sly oak]

Trying to upload the one that I took with the mela and piebald side by side but it says my files are too powerful

[full cave]

@sly oak wrong chat buddy

[sly oak]

He asked for the pictures

[full cave]

lol still

you can just @ him in trophy shots

[prime fog]

Dude chill. It’s not the end of the world

[full cave]

im trying to help a brotha out

i got banned for 3 days after congratulating someone who killed a GO

[sly oak]

Looks like if you search my username I posted these in October too guess I should looked at that first

[full cave]

but my "lucky ass 12 year old theory" states that some where in rural mid west USA a 12 year old kid on a PS4 got cotw for christmas, killed a melanistic GO, fucked it in the ass with 243 soft points, and never taxed it or even has a lodge dlc. He has now since quite COTW because its 'too hard and theres no animals'

Nice @vital geyser. Yea ive been hearing LVL2S been making lots of diamonds but fewer LVL3s they been mainly trolls. Good luck with your GO chase tho bud!! I'm dying to see a different GO. Any of the 4 other variations hopefully

[vital geyser]

My 3s have been diamonds but Ive actually been on a mulie grind lol

As of rn theres still only one rack spawning

And theres still broiken WT but they are underweight

[full cave]

Oh nice! Good luck! I'm hoping for a diamond mulie when the patch releases. Hope them,the GO and others are fixed then and I can play again. Lol

[shrewd brook]

So what is this chat

[magic phoenix]

Great ones

[autumn garnet]

so the devs created a channel for great ones and named it fabled ones? no wonder everything is broken in cotw...

[full cave]

👀

[analog flower]

Hmmm I wonder why the channel is called fabled ones... Maybe because great ones are lvl 10 Fabled in the game? 🤔

[full cave]

Lol 😂

[pliant oak]

mule deer are deffo fixed i hunted them pre patch like a GO and didnt even see one five as soon as patch went live i got a max weight diamond truracks mule deer couple of days after also shot another level 5 other day but didnt make diamond

also on level 2 whitetail making diamond they could before this patch had a few of them

[whole mason]

This is not mine btw, someone sent me this

[analog flower]

Hacked.

[whole mason]

Is it still possible to get theese ones? this is mine and I got this in october. can someone give me a quick recap on whats going on. I want to start grinding again

107.96 kg

[vital geyser]

Yes except they arent overweights theyre u derweights

So they arent diamonds anymore just vronze

[whole mason]

But I got 2 diamobds today?'

[autumn garnet]

@analog flower maybe it should of been called fabled one then....

[analog flower]

They've said there will be more GOs so multiple sounds reasonable and future proof.

[autumn garnet]

why bother making more no one can get? ive killed 8k whitetails now and not seen one, thats pretty much 5-6 hours a day since it came out. tryed everything , resetting maps, even reset game thinking maybe one had spawned in some corner i would never find....the spawn rate is bullshit on a whole new level

[heady lintel]

You aren't meant to grind for them and doing so will likely drive you insane.

[autumn garnet]

i was past that point before i started 🙃

[vital geyser]

Well if they were actually fixed it wouldnt be an issue

[autumn garnet]

seems a large waste of time and energy to make something that almost no one will see or get , you have almost as much chance winning the lottery , there is noreason the spawnrate needs to be so stupidly low though

[heady lintel]

If they were easy to get and everyone had one, they wouldn't be very special now would they.

[full cave]

you havent killed 8k whitetail. you should be drowning in diamonds are super rares.

fuuny there hasnt been a single image, file, or link you have ever sent

@autumn garnet every word you have said in this server has been complaining how rare GOs are. If you have killed 8k whitetail, all males, you should be able to dump at least a few super rares and 15+ diamonds into #🦌︴trophies

also why would you ever reset your game XD

thats throwing away every single respawn you have tried to get

also potentially losing a GO

if you had stuck with the same map you'd find one eventually

[solar pumice]

I dont have a problem with them making more, I think its a great idea. But they need to chill out and fix them or at least be more transparent about them

[full cave]

Yeah

I mean think about it

If there’s 4-5 GO on every map

You’ll see a lot more

[restive cedar]

There doesn’t need to be an abundance in each map but I mean. It could be set to atleast be achievable. I’ve killed a lot of wt. for some reason on Xbox animals don’t respawn back into the res (no matter how much time passes) it can force you to have to reset which I’ve done a few times. Realizing after that i screwed myself for diamonds. But still I’ve racked in a lot of kills and it seems that now diamonds are even way hard to get

Let alone a go

[solar pumice]

I play on xbox and havent noticed any spawn issues

[pliant oak]

sometimes it does seem that whitetail dont respawn back

i often just kill any remaining females then

and hope a new zone is created near by which is often the case

im on the grind right now and 200 in from fresh start and finding whitetails is increasingly harder now

also 8k whitetails nah

of the great ones seen took think highest i seen someone take to get a great one has been 2500 -3000 whitetails

with recent zones changes though it is far harder to get more whitetail than originally

[whole mason]

@full cave Im so agree with you. and they are noe that hard to find. I have posted my overweight thats hould have made it a long time ago. I shot only 700 and got the overweight one with 2 melanistics, 3 albinos and 3 piebalds with 10 diamonds or something. Now im looking for a new one. Flinter, zaggi, scarecrow and them all are looking for one so I think they cant be that bugged anymore

[pliant oak]

i shot two diamonds back to back the other day both level 3s

im on the great one grind

you cant really compare how whitetail were to before to now totally different

before probably smash 50 - 100 whitetail a day

now 50 probably max with really sweating

also after say 100 it slows down even more

[cobalt sandal]

I’m currently grinding for a second GO since i was only ab 400 wt in when I got mine, I wanna see how far I can go before I experience complete burnout, at ab 800 now and still goin strong but I can guarantee u if ur 8k whitetail shot is legit I would be just as upset, though I feel like u are stretching the number a lot

It’s hard for me to give advice since my numbers are a lot lower than others but one piece of advice u can take it or leave it is genuinely find all ur zones and don’t limit ur hunts to strictly drink zones, I have found like 34 drink zones and still I find whitetail herds that I question if I have ever seen when I am hunting my feed zones, it really helps u wipe out ur wt population and get a fresh set of bucks on ur map

[restive cedar]

Yea maybe remove a 0 on that 8k. Unless u got 60+ days worth of game time in I highly doubt u got 8k in just wt kills.

[pliant oak]

lofty you got your whitetail map ? would be interesting to see the zones you found

@cobalt sandal

[cobalt sandal]

This isn’t exactly high tech but hopefully this gives u an idea, blue = drink zones, red = feed zones, yellow = tracks/movement/more scouting needed.

Missed a feed zone to the north east of the roonachee outpost by the hunting structure

[pliant oak]

yeah got many the same cheers some on the bottom left gunna check was down there earlier

often blacktail rotate with whitetail from what i found

[vital geyser]

Ive had no luck at that secret lake lol

[vital geyser]

😕

[sly oak]

That's a 3?

[pliant oak]

i had a albino melanistic there not sure if a diamond also. this time round though not had anything drinking at it

probably have to kill whatever is close then maybe get a whitetail drink spot

see this often with blacktail drinking zones after wiping them out whitetail are there vice versa

found a few more new zones today wiped out few more males

[final vapor]

Lucky for that, that’s a nice looking rack, looks realistic

Not the insanely oversized G2s

[vital geyser]

Still does look ugly

too thin of a rack

And just doesnt sit well

[final vapor]

Yeah

Just more realistic with the size of the G2, 3, 4, and so on

[vital geyser]

Leucistic whitetail should be in the game

I hope one day they get reworked and add another normal piebald variant and a new model with leucistic rarity

[full cave]

Yea thats the "sickest" looking LVL 3 diamond ive ever seen @vital geyser . I know thats what diamonds are now unfortunately 😣 But good work keeping up the grind!! And best of luck to ya bud!!

So sad the WT are so "watered down" after this last patch 😭😭 Really a shame 😭😭 Ive def lost my LUST and excitement for this upcoming patch. WT just seem to keep moving "backward" with every attempt they make to make them better.

[iron bison]

Was really hoping a major WT overhaul was going to take place. I just started playing cotw again after a few months (had a baby, new house, etc) and I have no idea what happened to my WT population and/or NZ’s. Was hoping for some variation in racks, and maybe a few more herds. Seems my Layton map was so low on all animals, as well. Weird.

[full cave]

Boy this party really died🤷‍♂️

[ripe parrot]

Only 0.00000001% to seeing one without grinding

[vital geyser]

Yeah such a lively chat

Really stopped being active gere tbh

[sage sparrow]

Well when there's only one great one not much to talk about

[vital geyser]

when the only great one we have doesnt work theres not much to talk about

[pliant oak]

im still on the grind bagged few more diamond whitetail

deffo 20 times harder now than previously

[pliant oak]

has anyone got a good close up of the new great one

that one but better quality

[cobalt sandal]

Unfortunately that’s the highest quality I have, just sent it straight from the Xbox app so maybe that makes it slightly blurry idk

[late trail]

i dont like that rack for the great one gonna wait for a bit lol

[sacred linden]

you have 3 rack's random and that one is one of them, you can't pick wich you want

[tribal pawn]

Only one spawns rn tho

And there is 6 different racks that should be

[ocean orchid]

thats not new tho. Thats the rack I got back in July

I can resend my screenshots from back then if you want them @pliant oak

[prime fog]

How many wts did it take

[nova river]

You'll get a nice gold with a sick rack.

[radiant fox]

i found it randmly

[nova river]

It's sad that they are underweight now. Have you checked its track by any chance? Was it underweight there too?

[ocean orchid]

how is it 0lb ?

[radiant fox]

idk

when I found its track it said 0 pounds

[nova river]

Seems like that's a bug currently. I've seen multiple GOs posted since the last update with 0 kg.

[calm reef]

@ocean orchid they fixed the bug with lvl 3s spawning in as glitched overweight great ones but that caused the bug that great ones are being extremely under weight

[late trail]

nice

[hollow turtle]

wear can i find hunter call of the wild

[thorn oriole]

I wished they made GOs after real life nontypical record deer

[prime fog]

That’d be awesome

[thorn oriole]

Which one?

[full cave]

theyd probably get sued or something

[full cave]

Congrats on the GO!!

Yea sadly the only one spawning looks like a radar dish on the deers head 🤷 But at least one version is spawning 🤷 Hopefully one day they all can spawn correctly 🤷
I give them.props that it seems theyve fixed truracks for WT. Sad part is if you havent just started playing the game and experiencing WT like it seems they were intended to function. Its a disappointment. Just meaning if anybody has played since truracks WT have been incepted,weve been so conditioned to accept WT diamomds at minimum of 277. These 255 diamomds are a bummer. All my WT diamomds are 277 minimum. Can't say id be excited at all to put a 255 diamomd in my lodge. Theyre so weak so to speak. But hey!!,truracks finally seems to be working for WT after a year and a half!! 😹

Maybe in another 6 months to a year all the GO variations spawn correctly!! 😹

[restive cedar]

Nah the GO will get down graded and just be the new diamond. They’ve watered down the wt this much now there’s no limit to down grading them further

[pulsar phoenix]

One of the most amazing racks I’ve ever seen

I wish they added more crazy cool racks like that for all the deer that’d be awesome

[cerulean palm]

They can’t really downgrade it when it’s such a crazy low spawn rate...not like a big non typical whitetail will just become a great one, it’ll still be a big diamond

[violet raven]

I'm alot behind when it comes to the game. Does the great one just spawn into the game or do you have to trigger it ?

[tribal pawn]

Currently they spawn in randomly

But only 1 of the 6 racks

[ocean orchid]

ahh gotcha. Been away from the game for a while so I didnt catch that.

[violet raven]

Theres 6 racks ?

So the trick then is to cull white tails till you find one

[nova river]

Pretty much.

[dreamy arrow]

I bet none of you have one of these.

[full cave]

Wowww........ lol

[pliant oak]

originally it is thought its only off the respawn of a whitetail killed. no one knows if its a higher tier whitetail gives better chance to a level 1. recent change some people say the great one is just spawning in. without a whitetail being killed not see any actual evidence to support this yet though. as one person said it happened got a great one then after wards said they had killed a few whitetail. so could of just been a lucky respawn. off low numbers. if nothing like that has changed then this points to just random luck.

[violet raven]

Be nice if we got official word on how it worked given there can be only one of them

[cerulean palm]

Ah but that takes away the fun and the mystery if you know that

[pliant oak]

yeah most of the mystery is not knowing.

[full cave]

Well is it RNG and some 7 year old ruined a melanistic GO chilling on Layton that he shot in the ass with 243 soft points 20 minutes after messing up the tutorial black tail

Or is there a method to the spawn, like levels, kills, ect. A factor

[full cave]

Actually ?

[full cave]

I’m saying a hypothetical

It’s part of my “PlayStation shithead” theory

Basically saying that because animals are RNG

And there might be a limit to stop people from making every male on there map a diamond

But basically, the theory states that there is some 5-13 year old, located in Midwest USA, who plays on console, and has gotten unbelievable RNG

And it’s not crazy to think that someone has had/killed/messed up a GO on there map that they just didn’t post because they don’t have discord, Reddit, ect.

[proud hamlet]

what would be the chances of an Albino GO? If possible haha

[late trail]

my god masochist to get that lol

[orchid frigate]

Oh there was a messed up one posted somewhere lmao

Not sure where though

[pliant oak]

there is always a lottery winner

so sometimes the magical happens

its just whether its you or not 😁

[violet raven]

never me

[full pike]

Do GO's show in MP or only on SP?

[small meteor]

i think both, dont see why not.

[nova river]

It's the same animal population so most probably both.

[full pike]

I would be reeeeaaalllly pissed if some rando took my GO...

[nova river]

lol

[full pike]

ty for the answer tho

[bitter bluff]

Omg! I just shot the great one!

[spare matrix]

gr8 1 mule deer revealed

[magic phoenix]

Well we possibly know what the great ones for roosevelt elk would look like

[violet raven]

are all animals get ting great one versions ?

dam

was looking forward to the duck with a massive rack

[full pike]

Or a jack a lope

[neon cedar]

I hope GO mule deer doesn't look like some non-tpyical with 234843593543 points. I hope it's just slightly pointer than the regular diamond rack just really thick and bigger racks

[charred pendant]

Since the new update is about to happen for console can anyone tell me if its worth grinding for the great one again or are they still spawning as overweight diamonds i really don't want to grind thousands of whitetail again to get a third overweight. wish I never opened my map to multiplayer with my first great one.

[pliant oak]

well its only a week away id probably wait

[violet raven]

i started a great one hunt yesterday. no sign of any white tail on the map at all

[pliant oak]

yeah on pc you can feel the difference and they are often in different places now

a lot harder than it used to be to get whitetail

they will be there you just gotta go everywhere

[neon cedar]

Still definitely prefer to hunt mule deer over whitetail but wouldn't turn down a diamond WT surely

[faint kernel]

Honestly why is there this chat when fabled don’t exist right now

[magic phoenix]

They do wut you mean

[faint kernel]

GO don’t spawn...

They have been bugged for a while it’s been addressed

[magic phoenix]

Someone got one on the 28th tho

[faint kernel]

Where

Like where’s the image

[magic phoenix]

Here

[mortal prairie]

This one was on the 28th

[faint kernel]

Is it with the new update

[magic phoenix]

Yep

Its underweight

[faint kernel]

Oh thank god

I was starting to think they just gave up on them

[charred pendant]

I was talking about grinding for one after the update are they still bugged

[sacred linden]

@charred pendant depends, for pc is fixed, for consolers not yet

[restive cedar]

@charred pendant they are still bugged by the looks of it. They show up as underweight GO’s now. The rack will spawn in but the weight is less than a mallard

[tribal pawn]

They're not fixed for pc lol

[full cave]

And only 1 variation spawns. After 9 months since its inception. Hopefully in another 9 months they'll be working as intended. 🤷 Not going to hold my breath. But be positive guys!!!! We must stay positive here!! I love the game!!!! Even tho GO isnt working fully,I love this game!!!!!!!

It may waste my time on a broken product by chasing the GO but man I love this game!!!!!!

[charred pendant]

As long as it has the great one rack thats all I want i started my great one grind at 3800 harvest I just hit 19,000 harvest last weekend ive only hunted whitetail since the great one released i want one so bad

[full cave]

Good luck dude

[charred pendant]

If only I never opened my map to multiplayer when I actually had the great one

[full cave]

Yea heart break like that should never have happened. Experiences like that makes one love the game even more! I know I sure do!!! I love shooting over weight diamond GOs!! I dont actually want a GO. Just GO bugs!!! Have 3 in my lodge!!! I love it!!!! Can't say exactly how many hundreds upon hundreds of hours I put into the game. Was def worth it!!! Thats why I rave so hard for the game!!! I love it!!!!

I know its a super small team that makes the game. Makes my heart feel so much better knowing I spent so many hours devouted to this game to get "bugged" GO trophies. Its def 100% worth the time and effort of my "real life time" spent getting them. Its awesome!!!! Very gratifying feeling!

Even better is waiting through 2 GO updates over 5 months and theyre still not fixed!! Absolutely epic!!!!!!! Love it!!!!

[vague temple]

Did someone else get it or does that cause a despawn?

[magic phoenix]

Isnt he the guy whos great one glitched into a overweight level 3 when he opened multiplayer to show his friend

[charred pendant]

Yep it turned into a overweight diamond whitetail when I opened my map back then I didn't know great ones were buggy and the first video I ever saw of someone that got one he was on multiplayer

[vague temple]

Ouch

Imagine being in the middle of a grind and you decide to open a multiplayer game, turns out the great one had already spawned and some random swipes it

[magic phoenix]

I dont open my maps to multiplayer

[full cave]

I'm so pumped!! Been excited to finally get this WT/GO fix!!!! But wiill finally get it who knows when for ps4. Probably another 2 months! 😹😹 I know this is their first time through the certification process so I cant get down on the company. Will just wait for who knows when this bunk GO update will be released. But I still love this game!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!

[neon cedar]

Good to see a different mood message from you @full cave

[short geyser]

we*

😂

[magic vault]

When are they gonna get fixed

[sage sparrow]

Has anyone gotten a great one on pc since the update with it intended weight?

And is it confirmed only one rack is spawning?

[full cave]

Who tf knows

I’ve seen about 6 different variations (hacked) the only 2 I’ve seen is the OG one and this current one

My fav rack still hasn’t been killed legit

[sage sparrow]

Asking because I'm pretty sure this one im looking at is cheated in

[tribal pawn]

nope

and yes only the one rack is spawning on pc rn the less nontypical looking one

[sage sparrow]

Yep thats what I was thinking

[red root]

@sage sparrow I got you

[sage sparrow]

Yeah he's gone, never admitted it lol

[red root]

Gone, like smoked gone?

In ladies?

[sage sparrow]

Yeah

He kept messenging me

[red root]

Screenshot that and dm me it I need a little excitment

[tribal pawn]

No reason to post someones hacked stuff here

[red root]

How would you know if its hacked if you didn't see the pictures

[tribal pawn]

I had already seen them elsewhere and I trust what certain people say is true by their knowledge of the game

[red root]

All good

[crude kite]

guys can caribou be fables cuz there was a yt video where a guy saw one

[pure drift]

i think that´s bugged

[neon cedar]

I'm pretty sure when they were beta testing 10-Fabled, other animals made it.

[pure drift]

but not intentionally

i think the rack of that lvl 10 caribou was a normal diamond rack

[neon cedar]

I mean it was beta for it so

[short lava]

And there was a GO mallard

[magic phoenix]

And it was pre caribou tru racs if im correct

Imagine what a great one beciete ibex would look like

[quaint thunder]

So what's wrong with GOs now? Aren't they underweights now?

[pliant oak]

the other animals that got go status was just a mistake. not tested. only whitetail that we know of is a great one

[full cave]

hola

[ivory valley]

Hola amigo

[full cave]

Gluten tag

Guten*

Aloha

Boker tov

And who knows omega. They say nothing about the GO. Its super duper top secret!!!!! "Classified" information. If they actually say anything,they'll have to kill us all. Even tho its just a video game. Apparently GOs are now underweights. I see PC got a patch for that. Still waiting for whats now the "outdated" GO fix for ps4 myself 🤷

And konnichiwa!!

And privyet

I'm liking this being the greeting channel!! Theres more to actually talk about versus the same old 1 GO being posted,or us all complaining about the GO not working. We can all learn something useful versus just same old GO not working talk. Way cool!!!

Oh and can't forget we also just complain about only 1 of the 6 variations spawning. I know theres a rumour of EW rotating the GO variations. I mean I can't believe that could even be an option. Theyve got so much going on as it is let alone remembering to change the rotation. If that was the case thatd be the lamest thing ever. If you hate what variation thats spawning the youd have to wait 6 months for rhe next variant??? Doesnt make sense at all 🤷

And considering theres 6 variants,that would mean youd actually uave to play and chase the GO for 3 years to have a chance at all of them???

[full cave]

And really,why is anybody assosiated with EW restricted about talking about the GO? Whys it "classified" ?? Even just adding a new one is approached as "we won't tell anybody what it is,just say a GO was added"?? Theyre so rare as it is that nobody would even have a clue where to start looking. Tjat makes no sense. A good idea would maybe have the warden of a reserve tell some crazy story of what they saw to at least give a clue. Idk,this classified/dont talk about the GO is nonsense 🤷 Just stating an opinion from the average player.

[chilly belfry]

I agree, they want me to buy the DLCs but I can’t even complete Layton Lakes.

[full cave]

Could always be worse, I haven’t seen a whitetail over level one in like 3 weeks. I got a full whitetail pop reset for god knows why

Yep. But just rave about the game man!!! And how they treat us!!
Yep OG. Seems to be what gets them off so to speak. Every maybe 2 months they do a total pop reset. Then we have to take down all our set ups and start all over from scratch. They dont do that for any other species in the game. Not on this scale. Its so frustrating. As an average player I think why theHELL should I go through tbis again cause it'll just happen again in another month or two. Just sucks. Totally sucks and beyound frustrating. Would be worth it if there was something amazing added or made it worthwhile. Bit just to do it to chase a ghost is stupid. Real life time is more valuable than playing into their stupid little game 🤷🤷🤷

[full cave]

IDK. I myself long for the pre GO days. Hunting WT was 1000 times more fun. Just mean I g you could say find a river crossing or a "saddel" and put up a tree stand,IF the damn tree or stand worked,and have 5-8 BT and 5-8 WT share the same zone. Now post GO WT are broken down to literally 4-5 isolated WT that have no associations with any other species and once you shoot the males you have to go find new zones. Its just not nearly as fun. Just lame actually. Plus it seems that now the "need zone" bit that started with SRP has followed to WT. Just meaning deer may drink until 1530 they start making tjeir way to the zone at 1528 maybe not even make it to tjeir zone or get to their zone for 2 in game MI utes,which is maybe 1 minute real time,then leave. Clearly theres an issue now with animals and their need zones. But again the more they,EW, screws with the game the more it gets messed up.🤷

Just another reason why WT are so much more difficult the post GO age. And I love chasing mulies but theres so many herds that dont make it to their zone or visit for only a minute then leave. So frustrating and lame. But who cares?!?!?! When's the next DLC comm ing out?!?!?!?!

[sacred linden]

you put 15:30 and you need to wait 5-10 minutes real time, after that you can hunt them, they are all in the need zones, people need to learn the mecanic of it

and repeat again

[small meteor]

if you change the time the animals dont instantly spawn in to their zones sometimes you need to leave and return or restart the game. Or they just need to walk to the new zone

im not sure what the fastest strategy is

[pliant oak]

from doing the Go hunt again now for the second attempt deffo different from the first time round. whitetail seem to be travelling more different times also. so often later . so experiemnt see what works for you. find your need zones first. some will be tricky and not in the normal places. i think thats one of the biggest recent changes and many are still hunting the areas that gave success before and now like there is no whitetail.

you have to allow time for whitetail to get to zones

especially if just starting up the game .

could be 5 minutes could be longer depends when you start

hunting time

[small meteor]

5min IRL right? not ingame?

[pliant oak]

i do about 5 minutes actual time

from starting then go hunting

[small meteor]

enough to grab a cup of coffee

[pliant oak]

yeah

[small meteor]

perhaps its a feature

[pliant oak]

let everything go where they going

no pun intended

😁

the whitetail are there its often just a case of finding them

wipe out blacktail also as they often sit in whitetail areas

so you may get a better group or zone by doing so

i got a real nice one yesterday at a small lake the one thats not shown on the map bottom left

not seen whitetail there for ages

then yesterday went back and there was probably 10

4 or 5 really nice males

[small meteor]

but if you kill all the blacktails wont they just respawn as blacktails?

[pliant oak]

yeah but the zone maybe wont be there

[small meteor]

true, true

[pliant oak]

so you may get a new whitetail spot there

on awkard to hunt areas or zones maybe worth killing the zone see if they go in a nicer place

[small meteor]

if only this game had the spawning system like th:Classic has it. Everytime you restart you get new species. Id love it if that would ever be a feature. Perhaps something you could toggle in the settings.

[pliant oak]

if you get what i mean

i actually think it is very similar

its just somethings are tweaked

also classic you dont keep the same hunt

[small meteor]

im no fan of the "Herd management" aspect

[full cave]

Multiplayer spawning is like classics

Whenever you spawn in on multiplayer it scrambles and picks 2 species to spawn bigger than the others

Random everytime you launch a session

[pliant oak]

i think in classic much of whats in cotw is the same just you dont have zones and the like but much is a like

[small meteor]

yeah but i like the fresh set of animals you get every time you start a hunt in classic. I dont really want to kill every whitetail deer just to get new ones.

[pliant oak]

yeah every person will like different things thats fair

[full cave]

Multiple is a new set everytime

Single player is the only one consistent

[small meteor]

Doenst multiplayer just take the animal population file of the host?

[pliant oak]

if we could see over time differences in animals growth and scores then id love that

[small meteor]

yeah that would make herd management an actual feature Ron. That would be cool.

[full cave]

Multiplayer will take the base host file and scramble and multiple it bud each player on the map

And almost guarantee 2 diamond animals on map at a time

[pliant oak]

yeah talked about it for years in classic i think it could be achievable

[small meteor]

never knew that. though i havent been playing much lately anyway

[pliant oak]

yeah been some big posts about it over the years probably going back 10 years

obviously tech programming and the like have come on leaps and bounds

[full cave]

Yeah that’s why I’ve had 4 people with me doing herd management on multiplayer since map release on console for Te Awara

[pliant oak]

you could do it over maybe seasons

see animal growth

it would be complicated but i do think it could be done

[full cave]

Herd management plus multiple players on multiplayer causes for more animals to spawn and higher rates of diamond animals

Could help with the GO grind

[pliant oak]

i think its just random if you get a go

[small meteor]

i think it could but i doubt the headache of multiplayer would be worth it

[pliant oak]

could be 1 whitetail could be 1 million

[full cave]

I only go multiplayer with buddies so it’s not as much of a headache

Got a solid system

[pliant oak]

i actually thought about something the other day what happened with thehunter classic years back

we had a turkey box caller and people insisted there was a pattern in how you called

so 7 chirps and so on

[small meteor]

Ron when you going to be killing all the animals on a single map in COTW.

[pliant oak]

then a developer years later said no difference regardless of what you do

[small meteor]

i remember you trying it on classic on Loggers Point.

[pliant oak]

sometimes we make things far more complicated intricate than they actually are

i wont

haha

[small meteor]

hahha would take ages

[pliant oak]

yeah on classic we managed 246 in a hunt

took all day

[small meteor]

COTW would have thousands of animals on a map i think

ducks etc

[pliant oak]

i dont think it would even be possible with 50 players 😁

would be interesting to try though
