Then you had one just bugged that’s sad
i didnt tax it because i didnt know it was a bugged one cuz it was an underscore lv3
bugged ones are fixed on PC as of Rancho. It's why they reset Layton's population
I meant in the trophy lodges
like change them into GOs
if thats possible idk
Yeah that's 99% chance of being impossible
yeah
it's probably like the codex issue, in that they'd have to go into everyone's local files
and that's a big privacy breach
even if it was possible it's not the same as actually shooting one
i found the pic but its saying "unable to copy image"
and "unable to save image"
in a discord chat
and my phone died while taking the picture so leme charge it
and i will share the date which i shot it
i killed it 4 months ago from yesterdays date.
3/30/21
and they were bugged for a good 3-4 months before that
I think whatever caused them to get bugged like that had to have been deep in the game's code
thats not why
if it took them so long to find/fix
they refused to test it
it was a super easy test
and they said they were fine nothing is wrong with them
literally 2-3 weeks before rancho released, thehunter support told me that they were fine
and said that the level 4 and 5s were not related to great ones
and the underscore level 3s
and they tried saying the codex saying it scored in the 620s was a different bug
the only way they even got it pushed through pretty much was from scarecrow which was a life saver
otherwise they would still be saying they are fine
in that case, they probably thought the mis-leveled ones were mod-caused
they tried saying it was just a separate bug
they knew about the bug they told me, but they said it was unrelated to great ones
Took 1,931 kills in Rancho but it finally happened during today's stream..
super wonky. love it!
thats the rack i did want
it's one of my top 3 favorites for sure 🙂
Thats what I was given
and yes phone pic because discord is trash and wont let me save it
^^ there it is
thats what both of my first 2 turned into.. they went from 600+ and 500+ to looking like that 😫
3/30/21 was the date i shot it
u got two real great ones too tho so id be happy
sad man just take a break
Nice wonky one! Congrats! 👏
what im gonna do is just set a different goal
Take a break dude. If you are not enjoying it anynore, what's the point? It's a game you play to enjoy, not to be stressed out.
im just gonna make a whole lodge of diamond wt
i need 10 more diamond/rare wt for rancho room. not gonna tax rare does for it
after rancho room is filled all diamond wt and rare bucks are gonna fill the rest of lodge
and gonna have all huddle mounts
for every ground plat
here is my rancho room except there is 2 diamond huddles u cant see out of frame
okay, so if i shoot some bucks and leave them there
will they come back as different bucks
IME they'll just return to life when you restart the game
same from what ive seen ^^ but i havent tested if its the exact same animal (say if it actually dies)
I'd guess close to 7k total. I have 4-5 overweight 3's back at the end of last year and decided to quit grinding until they were confirmed fixed
I picked them all up
ouch
many bucks killed so far
Congrats man, thats a big one
dang man the one stream i didnt join now im pissed the same happened with DD33 i attent both of yours all the time and the one time i dont....

Well 1st run has yielded a lvl 3 troll
BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG MALE
And now a guaranteed diamond👀
Huge male
Omg it was a 262 max weight
That’s the 1st max weight of this 4th grind. 5th max weight overall
HOLY
It’s tip to tip is like nothing
Really small
7.40
I’ll tax him
Last time I shot a max weight i shot a GO later that day 👀👀👀
Please game… 😅
🤞🏾 😆
tiny score for that weight
well 9:30 am let the grind begin!
lol
I have 2 big herds that are on the brush and I cant hunt them,, should I kill their zone and make them move?
yes I definitively will thanks!
The tip to tip spread is tiny on that thing, and that’s the biggest rack style lol
Ikr!! Weird one. Kept him cuz he’s got character
But I’m more worried about the respawn
gimme that droptine or big typical style boi
giv GO
Currently looking at a massive buck with an estimate up to 302 👀👀👀
272.20
My biggest buck to date
99.77 kg
The big ones are turning up fast
had to take a break from the grind on rancho after 2000kills, and yesterday i went through all my 46 zones on Layton, figuring out what zones are the best ones.. i set up tents and tripods.. and i gotta say, i thought Layton would be much worse than Rancho, but i like it better.. 206 kills on Layton today is not too shabby
pc or console ?
pc
i do get the appeal on layton its easier to make a systamatic grind that rancho
yea, me too.. rancho is more "messy"
since update though it can be tricky
what u mean?
rancho can be glourious one day then bad for days later where as layton is pretty consistant
yea, i got tired of the zones turning into doe zones without killing a single doe
often when go doe or little about something turns up
i had to wipe 4-5 zones a day on rancho last few days
like a diamond or rare or go
not sure if i understand what u meant there 🙂
when i came back to rancho it was pretty dead on next run through 3 diamonds and big albino
seen others mention similar
ok.. interesting..
might just be coincedence
what do u do about the zones that turn into shit?
but it often does goes a bit dead before a diamond
i often just shoot a female in the group or leave it
ok
see if anything comes back
i've been deleting the zones, but it doesnt last long before it goes bad again
my first go was at a location like that
probably random.. but yea
could be
im gonna go back to rancho, but i needed a little bit of this
not much trees are compatible with treestands on rancho..
you get em there
i wish it was more of that
interesting
Bruh I just had another lvl 3 run at me
some trees work
What are my spawns again
on my top lake certain corner i have a lot of threes come spawn there
australia normally good as well
this have been the best lake for diamonds for me.. probably got 10 only there
Think I’ve had like 1/2 there honestly
yea.. its not the same for everyone
Silly question, do you guys restart your game then fast forward 6 days or forward first then restart?
i go to main menu after every time reset
You can only skip one day at a time
i go one day forward, and then to main menu.. and then back at it
Ah, I thought it was at least 6 days before deer actually respawned
often when animals have not come to the zone, i just go main menu, and then they are at the zone when i get back in
Thank you 🙂
np 🙂
I get respawns instantly as long as I don't leave them lay around
I've killed 6-8 of them there too
really?
that's useful
do you guys kill doe only zones?
i kill every deer i see
but you delete the doe only zones?
i try to
Just got another lvl 3, 99.30 kg 👀👀👀
Come on map spawn him
That’s 3 diamonds over 99kg today alone, and more diamonds besides those have spawned too
ugh
i want just one.
only one to spawn
i wonder why your map spawns diamonds so much
I have no idea
ur initial spawn mustve put like a few of the diamonds in them and not other animals or somehting idk
something*
which is why u can actually get a great one
Idk honestly
I just keep running with my method of every deer must die and it’s working pretty favourably for me
Andddd another lvl 3
Holy heck
262 boi
220.6 2nd 220's Albino of the grind,, 35 diamonds, 10 rares , 2200 kills
hopefully he spawns soon
@acoustic cedar hom many kills and diamonds you have on the grind ?
Well, I have to ask, do you mean in total, or just for part 4?
Ah you got 3 already?
Yep lol
Yeah part 4
So far 10 in 3 days
Grim has a adversary.
Plus 3 trolls, 2 rares and 2 screwed up diamonds
I’m not caring about diamonds toooo much cuz I have well over 50 but I keep tabs on how many I’ve shot
I got 35 diamonds, and 11 rates in 2200 kills is that decent,a lot or not much ?
That’s awesome
Then I’m going the right way then can’t wait to spawn one ty!
Definitely! Good luck!
Same 2u
Thank you!!
I haven't been counting with mine tbh
You guys can count?
lol... download the app called "Thing counter" much easier. 🙂
I got a counter for a fallow grind and i gave up on it. Just estimated
ah I see
When you have three 85-100 whitetail in a single herd but none of them are lvl 3
I did it!
Congratulations!! He’s a beauty!!
It’s a wonky rack. Thanks!
this wonky rack seems to be spawning quite frequently recently.... Nice one!
There probably is like drops of them. Bc when 1 person gets it, a bunch of other people do too.
I’d love to get a wonky rack- they’re so unique. Awesome looking buck
nice
@verbal thunder at how many kills?
after about 700 kills, while watching @pale oracle 's, i get my favorite rack
also, 8 diamonds (7 lvl 3's) and 4 rares (3 piebald, 1 albino)
yup!
Thats awesome dude congratz!
you have 3 GO's?
he does
thats awsome... he kills does as well?
im thinkin about goin ham on Rancho.. the zones are being weird lately anyway.. so many does
Yeah
@balmy summit were you killing everything or was there any strategy u were using ?
@real radish I killed every male a saw but made sure to never dwindle any herd down to one
any tips for fast respawns?
I see TYTY
the deers u kill respawns when u reset time
Oh wow, nice one. Again, another one of this wonky 400+ racks. Congrats
@round kiln picking them up and/or exiting to your main menu or desktop works
if you pick them up you might find some respawning in the same run
if you revisit zones
haha GL 😉
u got this 🙂
hopefully gotta reset time now
why? cant u just call him in?
oh.. didnt know he was fleeing.. well, hes gonna be in the zone after reset 🙂
yep gonna shot it with the bow 420 grains
dont mess it up now 😉 lol
yeah xd
Early congrats man. Ima get me one soon

Wym @bitter bluff

hes ignoring my call lol
yep
@bitter bluff i am a bit confused?
Knock it off

Seriously guys

@nimble cairn 
oh


I am very confused
Don't see how everyone else here can find one
O have over 820 diamonds but can't get a great one
I*
I have noticed a increase in GOs lately
@itmatriple just shot a great one!!!
I cant get him in with the caller might have to track him, I really want to get him with the bow
And they aren't bugged ones 99% of the time
https://photo.thehunter.com/84/a7/84a73c396ec136de57d32c23727a22934d5a4101.jpg just shot the great one!!!!!!!
Is this even allowed?
I’m at 1181 and just shot mine!!
Well this is probably a early goodbye
Prob
Kills my sanity seeing every single person grinding and everyone can get one except me makes me feel like I've wasted 1k hours
Prob should've spent the 1k hours doing something for myself, rather than grinding for an animal I will never get.
probably
I believe you can get one
Well gn everyone.

Can you guys stop trolling and go back to classic chat


My head finna explode
Ignore them, they just want attention


<@&393042322499305473>
Fr
I don’t know how you’re doing but gl @real radish
i think they stopped
thanks still trying to get a hold of him wind sucks and hunter mate turned off lol and with this particle glitch is really hard to track em
welp ima play planet zoo now
dont kinda want to restart game eather
there he is
da hecc happened in here?
ages away
SMOKE HIM
Everything is fine 👍
that guy is trolling apparently ^^
I see your comments. How about you knock it off with the trolling. First warning bud
i shoot bigger bucks than you
👍🏾 take your time dude.
its fine now they were starting to spam emojis thats all
I do indeed
awsome.. may i ask what ur tactics are? do u kill does?
he is there such a bad place to get him with the bow
in that middle peninsula and wind is bad might have to shoost him
umm
i see u have tripod there
change time to 7.50, and sit on tripod and wait for him to come in?
dont take a shot you're not comfortable with. if you gotta use a gun, use it. its not worth risking that animal for the pride of a bow shot
60 out
if the wind is good, 60 meter is fine with bow
almost max weight. 👏🏾 
BIG MALE
yea, thats a big boy.. love the rack on him 🙂
thank you guys!!
I also recorded it I have to shorten it and then I’ll post the clip
the grind paying off 😉
yeah TY
does anyone know how I can conver the video into a link to share it?
is too heavy for DC
Congratulations!
Of course! I pretty much kill everything I can- bucks are the focus with 85-100kgs being most important but after that I’ll shoot small ones and does to delete herds and get fresh ones if they’re no longer producing good bucks
ok, thx 🙂 i've been avoiding killing does until now.. and it seem to work.. much more bucks showing up in the herds after that
Well I’ve just started today’s grind fingers crossed for the big one
good luck 😉 how many u got on rancho btw?
Thank you! So far 2/3 of my GOs are from Rancho 😊
ok
gives me hope 😛
off to the store and buy some more grinding snacks and white monsters 😛
just came home.. gonna watch it while eating pizza 🙂
oh, u took him with full side wind.. risky 😉
u have a pic of the shot placement?
im guessing that was a close call?
wind from right to left, and u aimed very much to the left
The only 'tactic' that matters is killing bucks and knowing your population. everything is random so more kills = more chance of a spawn. It's that simple!
if that was aimed at me, i was just curious of how he's hunting for it.. and i was wondering about the doe thing 🙂
Well first good thing today was a piebald decent size buck
nice 🙂
bucks spawn bucks so does are not in the equation.... but can be shot to force bucks out of the respawn pool
Yeah not too bad better than nothing
yea.. only reason i want to shoot does, is if it can help the shitty zones get better again, without having to delete them
Don’t worry about deleting zones if you’re on Rancho
I delete ones that aren’t up to scratch all the time, which makes a fresh one spawn. Had lvl 3s pop up that way
i have deleted many.. but it takes more time than just killing some does if that works
It can- but I normally find the payoff is worth it
You can definitely try just removing some does out of the zone and then if that doesn’t work kill the remaining ones though
also seems like the zones u delete, dont always come back right away.. been searching around the lakes ive deleted on, without finding a new one .. sometimes i end up finding a new one on another lake instead
you might have 30-50 animals in your respawn pool, everytime you make a kill or every few kills you get respawns.... a random animal spawns so you can kill a whitetail and get a coyote for example. smashing a few does will force some bucks out but those does will be in your pool and spawn when you kill bucks so its all swings and roundabouts.
Thing is because they can only drink on certain lakes on Rancho if they move it’s not a big deal
everything you kill will respawn so if you only kill whitetail bucks you will only spawn whitetail bucks
To force my respawns into where they should be I reset time then open / close the game
Gets them to their zones for the next run through
resettintg the time has no effect
It does for me
i go to main menu.. shud do the same as a restart, right?
it doesnt in the game though
I always reset back to 9am so it’s given them half hour into their drink time then close and open and boom they’re there
It’s worked for me on every grind so far
i always go 08:38
I’d say try 9
And yeah the main menu thing works for me as far as getting them where I need them
i have no issues with the time i start.. animals usually there .. if not, i go to main menu, and then they show up
Had it once where I did a restart and had no deer at a zone, so I did it again and boom max weight lvl 3 was there so sometimes if you’re not seeing them do it again
That’s good then!
I just like the round time I guess lol
lol
doesnt really matter tho.. i just like to have some extra time before i have to reset again 🙂
Yeah makes sense
resetting the game is always good, it irons out any problems and puts animals back where they should be
ok.. maybe i shud start restarting the game insted of main menu then
i just go to another map and back
Yea, I change time and quit to main menu too. It's been working so far
Congrats @real radish You’ve been grinding hard for that GO 🙂
i hate the GO
It hates you too
it refuses to spawn
well, not only that the GO doesn't want to spawn (or send lvl 3's), most of my zones just.. dont respawn
okay
piebald buck
LMFAO that timing
i messed it up :/
not like i care
sniped a buck
Nice 👍🏼
@real radish I gave you my great one luck ; )
literally one hour after mine, you found yours LOL
giv luck
performs ritual
Just found the 1st lvl 3 of the day, I’m already at 11 diamonds after 3 days 👀👀👀
@balmy summit jeje yeah I was about to go to bed when I found it, then I spent 2-3 hours trying to get him into bow range low but finally got it
@plain raptor thank you !!
congrats
all the big congrats especially with a bow!
My first GO will be with the M1, but if go for another that will be with the bow
.44 for me
I don’t trust myself with the bow right now and I would be heartbroken if I missed the shot and potentially screw up a GO
heartbroken = bigsad
very big sad 😔
That was actually my first bow kill on this account , it has 60 hours,,, I have only hunted goose at the biginning to make money and level up,, and when I had enough money I set up the GO grind and have been using the m1 since
20 of those hours were goose hunting so I got my GO on about 40 hours,, pretty good I guess
I think next one will be with the muzzleloader IDK
jesus
Supposed to be taking a break but went back into layton for a piebald i left behind, found a big lvl4 albino Elk... Bargain 😎 Never seen one before!
Nice one
I might start another GO grind just because I want a gold mela WT , I got 2 albino and 1 piebald gold already, my mela is silver
found this guy on my rancho map today
Awesome find bro!!
thanks man
HOLY HOLY HOLY
For those who have gotten a Great One... did you leave the does alone... or was it death to all carbon based lifeforms??
Most I know only shot the males and only females if they had to get rid of dead zones
Just shoot anything @ Grim#0878 is a retard
I am sleeping till 8:30, shooting 1-3 males, then jumping to a new drink spot, shooting 1-3 males, jump, shoot, jump, shoot, until 11 then repeating the process.
Just shoot everymale you see, simple
I saw a BIG BIG boy... wasn't a GO... but might be the max weight one respawned
Hi guys
Spooked him though... so I'm sure I'll get him during the rotation at some point
No
I have a question?
Go away
No
May I ask it?
No
:(
Why is my diamond score going down I shot one diamond today and I checked now and my score is the same as it was before I shot it
Is it a glitch?
Diamond score?
Like, in the codex?
Yep
No clue then
I shot 21 in the last 3 weeks and it's gone up by 18 somehow
Interesting
Probably just a gltich
Check to make sure you still have all those diamonds then
I have
Bc I putted them into my 2s throphy lodge
I don't have any space in the main one
But yeah
I’d say #📜︴support
Yep
Man its probably very rare to get a 28 scoring GO
yea its kinda glitched
hacker!!!!!!!!
@verbal smelt I got my GO today and I shot like 2 does by accident I killed bucks no mater size level just slaughtered 2-3 on each herd
I didn’t pick up most of them in order to check the hole map in one run, notice if pu do this you have to restart your game in order to get respawns of the ones you didn’t pick up
No strategy just killing 2300kills, 36 dimonds, 11 rares
Now I think Imma go for the 2nd one xd
Yeah Im almost there on diamonds if not already past it. Ive got tons of rares in the process too. Trying hard for mine.
Sorry for necroposting, but bear in mind that mission diamonds aren't counted in the codex
Here we go for day 4 of the 4th grind 👀
gl
Thanks man
i've been at it for 5 hours, and not even a diamond.. frustration is kickin in ^^
have deleted probably 4 zones in anger lol
hot take: great one is slightly overrated
dont know whats the avrage kills to get him to spawn.. im 2500 in on rancho, and i feel its time for him to show up.. ^^
It’s all over the map. Some people have gotten one sub-400 kills, and some haven’t got one after over 4000 kills
Then ofc there’s flinter who gets two rare diamonds before a Great one 🤣
lol
Could walk into a casino and bankrupt them in an hour with that luck
true
havent seen a mela yet.. got one albino, and 4-5 pies
but only silvers
ofc
my luck ... lol
25ish diamonds
most of my rares were albinos
12 rares 3 were gold
gimme some of ur luck 😉
guess its gonna pop up sooner or later.. cant do anything else than keep killin
Yep just keep at it there is no other way,, gl off to bed
thx 🙂 gn
lol .. go hunt something else for an hour or two, then come back to the grind.
helps with a change of scenery
i get burnt out too if i didnt do that myself
yea.. i know 🙂 its just that i feel im getting close, so everything else feels like a waste of time 😛
or 7.1k kills like me
yea, but u got one or two bugged one, right?
71 diamonds 32 rares no great one some people like me will never spawn great one quit while your ahead

@full cave that’s rough, did you get any bugged ones ?
No
Umm
Oh wow so ur just unlucky
How many kills ur in ?
Do u at least have a super rare
Once I get home I”ll share my set up, I check all 36 drink zones in 1 run
No super rares
Oh damn
I'm at like 35 diamonds with 1 GO
I feel like after 5k kills u should be guaranteed one
RNG Sucks no skill required
I quit hunting whitetail even if i see a diamond or rare I just let it go waste of time im on a rare moose grind
Biggest whitetail i got is 174.56
Yes
das a very smol diamond
I meant 274.56
ok good lol
Lol
Ooops
but still, 71 diamonds in and no great one is a what the hecc moment
How many zones you have ?
33
Yes
33 is a lot of zones. You might want to dim down the ones you hunt from when you grind
Just take a break
^
I MIGHT go back for another one
Good luck
I think you will. I don’t think you can help yourself 👀
I just want Mexico to hurry up for consoles so I can hunt it there
Whenever that releases in the next year
probably will be next year at this rate
u hunt all zones, or just some of em?
this would spoil it. tbh you cant win with great ones. people get them they too common. people dont get them wheres mine
doesnt matter if you killed one million its the whole point of the great ones
they just come when they come
they are the great ones
going to start a great one grind irl
maybe if I kill enough whitetail then they'll give birth to a non typical
maybe there is already a non typical you just havent seen it
this is the best take
@outer badger I got 5-6 zones that are doe only so Those I don’t even have to check constantly,, an I got 3 zones I check from time to time,,I check anywhere from 25-27 zones every run
I just pick up the ones that are close in order to have time to check everything in one run… I killed 2300 WT and I only picked up about 1600 of them
I did reset time, and then the game for every run
ok. .I dont do a set run.. i just pick a lake, and i do that, and then i go another when im done at one.. i hunt every zone, but not in a set order.. i might stop doing that, and just set a route of maybe 10-15 zones
I set a route for myself. I start at the top and work my way to the bottom lakes that have good zones (Rancho)
There is a lake that I might consider not hunting anymore because the bobcats scare off the deer most of the time
when i have bobcat issues, i go to main menu, and load back in, and they are usually not there
finally 😉
i got killed by his mates while on the harvest screen lol.. luckely i was still on the screen when i spwned back in the tent
no fancy weapon.. just a safe kill
next one will be with bow or something
but it was weird... it seems like my game was laggin way behind on the respawns... it was an insane herd where he was.. and usually there is only like 5-6 deer there
yes.. very
got the rack i wanted also.. im stoked ^^
Why is it odd?
why is it not?
its usually a few deer there..
and suddenly there is that herd u see in the pic
they were standing there "frozen".. and i was afraid the game wud crash, so i ran over and harvested.. and while on harvest screen, they started fleeing.. and killed me
@hidden pagoda herd killed him while he was on the harvest screen 🤣
He spawned back in the tent while still in that screen
yea.. u bet i was scared i would not get to take the trophy shot lol
Yeah I just read that lmao
glad i remembered to press record on shadowplay
@outer badger imma need like 20 more angles of that rack
lol.. why? 🙂
got this one for u 🙂
me too.. i was so lucky to get that one.. i wanted the big boy
not many have the trophy shot in the tent tho lol.. daym.. that was weird.. i cant remember ever being killed while harvesting, and it happens on this one
@outer badger most big boy racks i dont like too much but theres something about how those tines stick out horizontally
real messy
wonky
i love it
yea.. i like that rack the best tho.. but i hope the next one will be different
i love how it still has that distinctive whitetail curved rack even tho its super messy
i dont like that rack as much
out
its too lopsided
like it would always have its head tilted to one side if it was to walk around
im not a huge fan of the wonky one tbh.. but now that i have the one i wanted the most, i gladly take that one next 🙂
i love the huge back tines of this one
yea, it looks awsome
the dream is to have 3 different ones in a mount
dont remember the name.. huddle?
yes
ok 🙂
it was weird.. i was grinding the whole day.. probably 15 hours before i got him, and its been really shit all day.. got nothing but trash.. exept a tiny diamond.. and then boom.. i even was so angry at my zones, i deleted 4 lol
👀
you were right, he was close! haha
congrats nice one
thanks 😉 I had a feeling, but i didnt really belive it
you guys have that happen, that animals freeze? i have it often when its bigger herds.. i shoot a few, and then most of them flee.. but then often there is a few standing frozen..
ye
They are good for photoshoots
yea lol
in this situation tho, almost all of em was frozen.. but as soon as i harvested, they fled
i just watched the recording, and i was just able to hit taxi before i died
and that herd.. it was not there before.. its almost like the game pumped respawns out right there
@outer badger Congrats man you did it
thx man 😉 WE did it 😉
YESS
@pliant oak Great Ones are exactly where they should be imo, if EW really wants them to be like Boone and Crockett bucks then no one should be guaranteed one
As long as it's a short clip
almost 5 min
is 5 min too long? im not sure where the limit for short clip goes 🙂
Try it, see if it works. If too big, try and cut it to the final shot or something
its a link
yes, but i havent posted anythin in years before this
Sorry, you can only post links to YT if you are an EW content creator
You can dm it to people who want to see.
ah.. ok
Sorry
There should be a tab for community YouTube.
up to EW staff, not the mods
Every other discord channel for call of the wild has one except this one
Anyone who wants to see @outer badger Awesome GO video, send him a DM.
I don't make the rules
^^^
I'm leaving this group anyway cuz im Done grinding for a great one, no need for me to be in this chat. Never said you made the rules btw just think it's kinda dumb. My 7.2k wt kills was a waste
No I'm done. I don't have the sanity. Bye guys
honestly, over 5000 kills without a great one would be really heccin demoralizing
Would be fine if mine didn't spawn bugged.
Which they denied was a thing for 8 monthsb
Cya dudes
@velvet bough You're leaving this particular channel, but not the game?
can stay in the server if ya like, just mute the channel and not pay attention to it
I'm prob not gonna play cotw until next update if I do it's gonna be just random hunting on a map that's not broke
Which is either rancho or layton
I've been playing Parque lately and it seems to be working fine. You could give that one a try
Either way, good luck
I have to go make dinner
cuatro and te awaroa also seem to work pretty well. TA does have one broken outpost tho but thats sorta it
Drives me insane seeing so many great ones posted while I've got 4x as many kills and diamonds as anyone who grinded for one (for the most part)
it might be on your map now. drinking
No, it won't my luck doesn't roll that way for things like this
and rip, hes gone
when u log back into rancho after 3 months... its gonna be the 1st deer u spot
was there all along
i totally get where he's coming from though. during my grind for my first rare lynx (which took 1100 kills to get btw), several people got rares before reaching a 3-digit lynx kill count and it started to kinda drive me insane
yea i know.. just kidding.
if u are not enjoying the grind, just stop and do something else
mela male grind is going to be the death of me
yesterday, before i got him, i was so pissed at my zones that i deleted 4 of em in anger lol.. maybe it helped 😛
the grind can be exhausting, but it is also about that excitement and anticipation
it might be around the corner, lol
true
right, and im gonna log on tomorrow and see a mela diamond lynx just chillin on my world
Sydney has been in hardcore lockdown for weeks now, so i have ntg better to do than to shoot deer.. lol
its keeping me sane in a way, haha
i see on steam i have 240 hours past 2 weeks lol
they don't spawn bugged, i saw 2 of my 3 bugged ones as the real deal... they bugged out soon after
one was 600+ and the other mid 500
They did spawn bugged when they first came out but it got fixed
So uh
Through killing rubbish need zones
I just spawned a herd of over 30 whitetail
Including a buck 258-299 estimate
Crazy
Massive
Yeah I was like holy…whitetail
There’s just so many
Now to shoost them
The buck was 271.40 and max weight
That’s my 6th overall max weight, 2nd of this grind
Jeez
you always know something is coming when it goes dead. all small bucks then bang diamond or rare
Yup
true in my case as well.. yesterday was the worst day i had.. i was actually getting angry, to the point i just deleted zones... then boom.. there he was, spawned with a huge herd that did not use to be on that location at all
Interesting thing…all of my zones have way more deer in them suddenly
Like way more
From say 2 to 10 in some
it felt like the game just pumped out delayed respawns or something. it was weird
That’s what this feels like tbh
maybe something about to happen 🙂
I hope so man
fingers crossed 🙂
I’ve killed over 1,5 k in 4 days already it’s mental
That’s awesome
i need that one lol.. was getting frustrated.. not by him not showing up, cuss i kinda expected i had to kill at least 1000 more.. but by how bad it was.. all zones had only trash
Yeah I hate when it gets like that
was worth it in the end tho
when you are only killing whitetail it seems like the spawn pool sometimes gets stuck and nothing comes out. then suddenly you get 50 or more respawns at once. I've noticed this a few times when all my whitetail just seem to vanish. I usually just kill a load of other species and it seems to free it up.
i often fast forward days then maybe shut down the game when that kinda happens i know what you mean
sometimes after one day fast forward you go back and it seems bare
then when they all come back its like woop
i have extensively tested the fast forwarding when i used to use the scanner. I never once saw respawns when changing the time. restarting the game can do it though.
closing game and starting deffo does something maybe game just checks population and puts animals back
i will do a grind clear hunting pressure swap time one day close game then start a new grind
can anyone give me map locations of where the GO was found.
I have been grinding for weeks and barely even seen a Diamond.
I am a console player and cant seem to see the option to delete zones and I am getting hardly any spawns despite resetting/ffwding
I think the GO should be made easier or at least the devs to give the proper info about how to go about making it spawn...I am not a youtuber who makes a living from 10 hours gameplay per day.
people who fast forward day after day might feel like they are getting their respawns but the reality is they are just wasting their £££. changing map or restarting does force respawns but not always
only if the respawn pool is big enough i'm guessing
...but not always lol....this is just the type of misinformation I am working with
lives dont think they should be easy they need to be special
everything depends on circumstance
GO should definitely not be easier
yeah Ron...love the game but just dont have the kind of time to devout to the grind no matter how much I would love to bag a GO
just play the game and enjoy it
And we shouldn’t be given outright information that people will later abuse/exploit
one will come at some point you dont need to spend 10 hrs a day its just some people will
its the misinformation that gets me...noone really knows
We work with the information that we gather ourselves
yeah
GO should be much harder in my opinion, even though i lost 2 or 3 to the bug i feel like i shouldnt have spawned 5 Great ones, no way
thats the fun and you only get it by doing the grinding
are you sure its the grinding or just dumb luck that one spawns????
20,000 kills and 5 spawns averages 4000 per GO.... Thats way too easy
well many of those that get more than one have some kind of strat or procedure
Grinding increases the dumb luck chance
kills = respawns so grinding works but it's still not a given
as i always say no guide is totally right just take from anything what works for you and apply it
the only method is killing, everything else is in the hands of the RNG gods
so could someone kill one buck and it respawns as as a GO?
possibly
Yes
one person supposedly had one from the off
or you could kill 10000000 and never see one lol
That’s what I like about it ^
so its not like you getting nothing even if...you dont get a go instantly or after thousands
not seen a single diamond or super rare and killed hundreds
once you get a rhythm in your grind you should get a diamond every 100 or so kills
yeah
not in my case
beat me too it ron lol
as I said....I dont have 10 hrs a day
sometimes you may get a blip but then get two
you dont need to have 10 hrs a day
do a hr maybe then 1 tomorrow
or if you leave them alive you can kill 11 in 2 days 😆
even that over a week adds up
I work 8 hours most days (part-time) and I have gotten about three diamonds so far
key is to get a method set up and just fine tune it then rinse repeat
I dedicate 1-2 hours when I work, and about 12 when I don’t
I don’t pick mine up anymore so that leaves more time to do another cycle until a diamond spawns
i work too.(kind of lol). I play from 5pm-3am unless i get the urge to play COD
key is just have fun dont expect one and see it as a bonus if you do
yeah me too and i dont know how many i have
you should definitely be enjoying the process, if its a chore its not for you...
You’ll just end up hating it even more
yeah i enjoy it you never know whats gunna be spawning next and when you get something nice its like yeah that grinding paid off
keeps ya going
I love grinding. That’s what I love about CoTW because I like games that can give me endless things to do and keep me preoccupied
some days i play 8 hours and don't feel like i played 2 or 3
I do enjoy it but just frustrating.. when I see the herd and at best a silver appears
good days feel quick and bad ones feel several times as long 😁
I had several herds that spawns silvers repeatedly
But I noticed that when most of my herd were spawning 85-100 deer, I knew a diamond was coming
or the Great one
you need the rhythm otherwise you will feel like you are wasting time and you will feel rushed... the rhythm keeps your attitude and your concentration constant
yesterday was like that for me loads of small tiny racks today quite a lot of bigger racks so probably rare or diamond or.....😁
Haven’t gotten a rare yet but I know I’ll get one sooner or later
so I have tents set up all over the shop
I start at 9 and and work north from the bridge at ronochee
I have a backpack with callers and M1 or 7mm only
I focus on drinking zones
whats wrong with this method?
start at 12
till 4pm
on layton
8 30 - 11 on rancho
i start at 9 on rancho to make sure all there
i have 3 zones out of use
i spent years on layton without seeing a melanistic whitetail, i had one on rancho first day and then i had 4 more over the next couple of weeks... went back to layton and had 3 in 3 weeks... things they are a changed lol
I am on console so no rancho...and unable to delete zones
i had one off layton male and one female
rancho is overrated in my opinion. it's layton that keeps me coming back
maybe the GO is for PC only?
the person who killed most go is on console
its the same game
its mainly just time
do u use atv or no?
deffo no atv unless opening outposts etc
its actually a really good tool if you dont know where animals are
I dont use atv atm
i only use it to pick up animals if long range
lvl 3 ran by me
not in a hunting session though eh?
yeah mainly on foot
unless i want to spook find animals i cant see jump on atv drive about
up to 275
i use tents, one at the tripod and one at the zone
do sort of a driven hunt
i dont walk to the zone lol
dead
just be aware that the atv will spook anything in render, so 400+m
does spawning at a tent in zone prevent spawning
yeah you need to spawn 200+ from zones
thats why i use 2 tents one where i shoot from and one where i pick the deads up
anyone got a map of locations to make sure I got em all?
so, if i leave a body, close the game, and reopen, will it respawn as itself, or respawn as a different deer
noone knows the answer to that
I skip a day and it seems to work for me, I get respawns
I make sure to grab bodies every now and again to keep potential lag down
If I feel like my herds are depleting I grab them
shoot, leave body, skip a day, it respawns?
Seems to
no exit out of the game?
ah okay
i have 2 bucks floating
i'll test
okay, so i have an almost doe only zone
only one buck
what do i do
most of my zones are now doe only and ive tried exiting etc...
or shite silvers of course
I ignored a fabled coyote yesterday in case I scared off the GO😫
i deleted 4 zones yesterday before i got the GO
just kill 4 animals in the zone witout using tripod
how so u delete zones on console please?
or kill all animals in the zone .. hehe
*do
Yeah just kill all the individuals using the zone
You can delete it with hunting pressure but killing the whole herd seems more effective
?
if there is many animals there, just kill 4, and its done
oh ok...so there is no actual delete option...my bad
I’d kill the zone off and get a new one
it's the loaded zone at australia
yea, u use hunting pressure to delete
10+ deer
That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s paying off, for example earlier
I thought you said it had 1 doe 1 buck?
yea, if the zone has less than 4 animals, then killing all of em deletes
Maybe I misread
nah i just didn't say the number
lemme kill off some deer, i'll send a pic of the zone
i also have to say, that after advice from Mel here, I killed a ton of does last 2 days before he spawned..
^this makes my little heart happy. I only ever want to help if I can 😊
haha 🙂
this is what i really like about this community.. everyone want to help others
No problem at all! I’m always happy to tell people what I’m seeing is working 😊
100%! 😄
all lakes checked (except for the very small one), no extra deer
i have a tent at the small lake
also, when looking for zones.. do it a bit into the drink time, so ur sure animals are on their spot
nice 🙂
Oh nice! Good to see rares pop up
and a few good bucks
i actually went like 30 min to awaroa not long before i got him.. wonder if that had anything to do with the sudden insane respawn i got
why tax
haha, yea, if u have something better, than probably not worth
yea.. i would save the does
