[regal cosmos]

might be tempted to grind WT in Layton, just to get one from there

[outer badger]

yea, maybe ur not alone, and thats why we havent seen any

im on Layton atm... took a break from Rancho.. think im about 1400 in here now..

had to check.. im over 1500

[plain raptor]

I tried steering off my whitetail grind but I always end up going back

[outer badger]

🙂

[plain raptor]

Really want to get at least one GO

[outer badger]

im really keen on getting that huddle, so im going at it 😉

[regal cosmos]

I've tried Layton when i was grinding Rancho

[plain raptor]

If I get one off of Rancho I will start another on Layton

[regal cosmos]

but i was so desperate for the huddle, that i didnt find it worthwhile spending that time on Layton given Rancho was so much more efficient

[outer badger]

im 1000ish in on Rancho after i got my GO, so if i get one here, im going back to Rancho trying for the 3rd

idk what's more efficient really.. my route of 15 zones are working really well.. killing at least 250 bucks a day.. if i do a restart after every time reset, its working really well

lot of "really well's" lol.. getting tired 😛

[round kiln]

How’s the GO grind going for everyone

[plain raptor]

Would get going great

if i had one

[outer badger]

goin pretty good.. not expecting to see one quite yet, but hopefully in a 1000-1500 more kills - gettin lots of diamonds ^^

[plain raptor]

Getting diamonds makes me happy lol

[outer badger]

yea, it helps 😉

been slow today tho.. only got 2

but just got a pie.. also helps 🙂

[plain raptor]

I kill around 100-150 per grind depending on if I keep my head on it. I tend to get distracted

[full cave]

Diamonds are everybodys best friends

[outer badger]

in the beginning on Rancho i was all over the place.. killing pheasants and everyting that moved.. but now i only kill wt's

[plain raptor]

I have a diamond pheasant on my map that keeps evading me

I know it’s a diamond, I can feel it

[full cave]

I look forward to the far off distant day I can hunt WT and mulies on the same map. Maybe in 2020 😹

[outer badger]

i've got 1 or 2 diamond pheasants, and one albino.. but i havent been going hard on em really

[full cave]

All ive ever wanted was to chase pheasants!!! Such beautiful birds

[full cave]

Id kill for a mela pheasant

[outer badger]

hope it wont be too long before console gets it 🙂

[full cave]

Same here. But afraid once it hits console what the damage will be to the current state of the game console wise. There's always way more major bugs that come to console with a new DLC 😢

[outer badger]

they are probably workin their ass of to make it happen.. they know ppl have been waiting

and still are, ofc

[full cave]

Indeed. But thats the scary part. Theyre rushing to get it to pass cert no matter what other issues it causes. Thats what happened with NZ and it broke consoles completely 😢 I'm afraid its going to happen all over again and we live in a nightmare on console until the next DLC they release with a fix to what they broke 😢

[outer badger]

we can only hope it will be fine 🙂

lots of stuff they need to fix on pc as well

[full cave]

Yea but at least you guys have the map,GOs are actually functioning. HECK several people have even gotten multiple GOs so far. Ive chased the GO since they were introduced and killed myself chasing it to only get 2 fake/bunk/broken GOs. Lost every trophy I had,every set up I had on every map only to be left with nothing at all afy
Ter playing for 4 years. People say I'm always negative but thats why I have 0 faith in EW and the BS they tell me anymore 🤷

[outer badger]

thats rough.. i thought ppl were getting lots of GO's on console.. aren't grim, the guy with 6 i belive, on xbox?

[full cave]

Yep he is. Shoot no. Console has always been on the short end of the stick so to speak

Bit his tacticts work for console. Theres differences between xbox and PS. So some of his work arounds work on my ps4. Not all but some have made a hige difference as far as spawns go.

[outer badger]

ok.. im not always playing this game, so im not always up to date on whats going on.. im playing other games too 😉

[plain raptor]

I’ve gotten an albino and piebald so far. Hoping for a melanistic soon

[outer badger]

wt?

[plain raptor]

Yep

[outer badger]

nice 🙂

[full cave]

The craziest part is we all play the same "tittle" but the game performs so differently between all 3 platforms. Its shouldnt be that way but it sadly is. It should perform the same way no matter which platforms one plays on

[outer badger]

havent seen a mela either

yea, sure should.. hope it works out in the end tho

[full cave]

Yep. Thats why I always laugh when "pc guy" says be happy we get it first cause we deal with the bugs and when console gets it,its a bug free smooth running version 🙄 Couldnt be farther from the truth. But "pc guy" has never spent 1 second playing the console version of the game.

[outer badger]

yea.. i've never tried it on console, so i have no idea

224 bucks down today.. gettin close to the daily goal 🙂

[full cave]

Its a totally different game on console unfortunately. Everybody should experience the difference.

[outer badger]

im not a console guy.. have a ps4, but i only used it for fifa lol

back in the ps1 and ps2 days, i played it a lot.. but mostly been on pc since that

got my commodore64 in the mid 80's, and been gaming since lol

[full cave]

I switched from Xbox to pc in December, and you are 100% correct

[calm torrent]

@outer badger nice pie now give it too me

🥴

[outer badger]

thx 🙂 If i could, i would 🙂 I already have enough gold pies.. 😉

[calm torrent]

question

are axis piebald rare or just

normal

🤔 😔

[spice trellis]

Uncommon

[calm torrent]

why did people say on my post tho

pain

[spice trellis]

Uncommon is not rare~

[balmy summit]

sorry bro

[outer badger]

not sure.. they used to be bugged right after truracks came.. I got a diamon mela then..

[spice trellis]

But did u ask about the rarity on the post?

[outer badger]

anyhow, a pie is better than a common 😉

[calm torrent]

Oh

wait

what is rare

like

a diamond ???

with an uncommon fur varient ¿

varitn

variant

yeah thats the spelling

[outer badger]

no, if u get a rare diamond, its a "super rare"

[spice trellis]

I would consider an uncommon diamond a SR as well

Or well

[calm torrent]

🤔 ah understandable

[spice trellis]

I guess depends

[calm torrent]

i hate these normal emotes

🥴 pain

[outer badger]

😆

[calm torrent]

im forced to be normal

[outer badger]

hard times 😛

[calm torrent]

i bought discord for a reason

i mean

nitro

lol

[outer badger]

im not into the emotes really 😛

[spice trellis]

Tell me about it~

I make my own emotes and now can't use them here

[calm torrent]

i have a set of emotes i made myself

[outer badger]

im probably too old

[calm torrent]

MOOD

[spice trellis]

Eee

[calm torrent]

shhh youre like dad age

lol

🤔

[outer badger]

have 3 kids, so yea lol

[calm torrent]

i have

no kids

lol

i dont want kids anytime soon anyways they're a pain in a butt

[outer badger]

haha

[calm torrent]

maybe when im more financial stable

[outer badger]

can be at times 😛

[calm torrent]

i babysit my little sisters sometimes and oof

id like to not be slapped or jumped on 24/7

[outer badger]

haha.. i kinda miss it a little.. have 3 boys.. 23, 11 and 9.. so those days are over 😉

[calm torrent]

i think

around 2-3

is the best age

because when i was in highschool my ex-dad was too lazy to care for my newborn sister

so i had to learn alot of things fast lol

my nose is ultimately broken

[outer badger]

lol

well, good thing u stepped up when needed 🙂

guess we're getting off topic here 😉

[calm torrent]

yes

uh

[outer badger]

not always popular

[calm torrent]

so

layton orr

hirsh

for GO

[outer badger]

well.. i stopped at 259 kills.. its 05:31 in the morning.. time to sleep 😉

[calm torrent]

i think im bad at times tbh

i shoot most of the stuff that comes near me for the funnies

[outer badger]

at least u get cash 🙂

aiit.. happy huntin.. I have a date with the pillow 🙂 GN

[calm torrent]

gn bro bro

[outer badger]

did u ask layton or hirsh to hunt GO? if u did, then Layton - No wt's on hirch 🙂

[calm torrent]

ohh

i barely play the base maps

[outer badger]

if ur on pc, u can hunt Rancho, if u have it

[calm torrent]

unfortunately not

my laptop couldn't even run that phasmatobia game

[outer badger]

ok 🙂 hope it comes to console soon 🙂

[pliant oak]

big level 3 and another level 3 troll in same run nice start to todays grind

[calm torrent]

do you guys sit at a lake and keep turning time?

[pliant oak]

nah i do a quick run through of all my lakes

shoot males then dump hunting pressure at end with small game or mule deer or bighorn

then at end when hunting pressure is cleared i will reset time and close game then restart it back up rinse repeat

[pliant oak]

grinds on it today

[outer badger]

been sleeping for over 12 hours.. maybe i'll take a day off the grind ^^

[sturdy marten]

Anyone have some tips for me?

I’m starting to search for one

[rigid forge]

You don’t just search for a great one. You grind for it

[calm torrent]

pft amateur

🥴

[tame solar]

Patiently waiting for rancho. Got 2.7 mil to spend on ammo

[round kiln]

this place feels empty

[outer badger]

maybe ppl are a bit burned on the grind

just did a count.. 45 diamonds on the grind so far.. approx 5000 kills

[round kiln]

👀
i think i have around 4-7k kills

[outer badger]

im using the good old pen and paper, so i write down my kills every zone.. i didnt in the beginning, so im guestimating 500 before i started counting.. i sometimes kill other stuff, so looking at the overall kills wont be correct

[round kiln]

counting would be pointless for me

too far in

[outer badger]

i just want to know how many kills im in, and how many it takes to get a GO

ofc its RNG how many kills it takes

[round kiln]

my number of kills: ∞

[outer badger]

🙂

hoping to get close to one on Layton now

1565 in there

[round kiln]

||fuck layton||
||it's zone placements are shit||

strange.

my WT dont seem to be at their zones

some are there

[outer badger]

i dont have any issues with that, as long as i restart the game after every time reset

[round kiln]

but not the usual 15 does 1 buck

[outer badger]

u on rancho?

[round kiln]

ye

[outer badger]

i delete the garbage zones there

[round kiln]

so.. all zones?

i already did that

and it did...
NOTHING

some things changed, but barely

[outer badger]

no, every time a zone turns into doe zone, i delete it.. i also have a few zones i hate, so i also delte them when they show up again

[round kiln]

so just kill all my zones

[outer badger]

i never had to do that..

[round kiln]

90% are does

[outer badger]

usually just a few zones go bad at the same time

lol maybe

the day i got my go, it was really bad.. i deleted 4 zones, and shortly after, he spawned in a big herd

[round kiln]

my WT pop feels incomplete

[outer badger]

do u restart the game?

[round kiln]

all the time

[outer badger]

ok

[round kiln]

as in, restart save?

[outer badger]

found most of ur zones

[round kiln]

ye

[outer badger]

then i dont know what's causes it

[round kiln]

maybe a zone sucking up all the deer

[outer badger]

as in restarting the game after every time reset.. it does wonders for me

on Rancho i hunt all my zones.. in Layton i just hunt 15

[round kiln]

yay?

albino doe

[outer badger]

nice 🙂

[round kiln]

i am leaving it there

to collect dust

[outer badger]

yea, not the most exiting thing to get, but at least its something

wonder how many kills im gonna be at before i see a mela..

[round kiln]

i have found 1 mela doe

and one mela buck, but that wasn't on my map

[outer badger]

really hope it wont be a doe when it finally shows up lol

[round kiln]

ez win
5 bucks down in 10s

[outer badger]

what took u so long? ^^

[round kiln]

wait what

[outer badger]

just kidding

but yea, on rancho i drop every buck i can in every zone, so with the M1 5 in 10 sec's is no prob

[outer badger]

might be the highest estimate i've seen on a lvl2

258.50

nice start.. got him at the 5th zone i hunt today

and this on the next zone.. lol - plz let this continue

[round kiln]

lucky

[outer badger]

yup

might be a troll.. havent picked him up yet

almost a troll.. 258.70

[round kiln]

"almost"

255.01 would be that

[outer badger]

not to me..

[calm torrent]

show me your zones

[outer badger]

what u mean?

its not about the zones.. its just rng what u get

i can get 2 quick diamonds, and then its quiet for hours..

all about luck

and the more bucks u kill, the more respawns u get, and then ur odds of getting diamonds, rares and a GO gets better

[raw ether]

Yeah like how I got my GO after like 1200 kills, basing it off of getting a diamond roughly every 100 kills, and I’m at 34 diamond whitetail now so it’s all rng for the big boi

[outer badger]

yea.. i got mine at approx 2500.. have now 47 diamonds in approx 5K kills

[raw ether]

I’ve run out of space for my diamonds lol the main halls are full

[outer badger]

guess u need to get another lodge goin 😉

[raw ether]

I might need to yeah

And I finally found my next GO gun

[outer badger]

im gonna have one for only wt's

[raw ether]

6.5 lightning

[outer badger]

maybe put some small stuff on the small mounts just for decoration 😛

[raw ether]

It has one kill, a 271.6 diamond

[outer badger]

nice 🙂

[raw ether]

Yeah I just wish it was based on animal score not session score

[outer badger]

i run with M1 and .303, recurve and tripod.. no backpack

yea, and 2 callers

[raw ether]

I run m1 and 6.5, grunt caller and rangefinder binos

Nothing else at all

M1 has the hyperion scope, 6.5 has Argus

[outer badger]

i also have the wheeze caller.. sometimes if they are being stubborn, that one makes em start moving.. has higher attraction, but shorter range than the grunt

[raw ether]

I just use the glitch when they won’t come out

[outer badger]

idk about that glitch.. and i dont wanna know either 🙂

i have tripods set up in all zones, but sometimes they move around a little, so my tripod is too close.. so then i use the one i have on me

[raw ether]

You just spam crouch and call at the same time

[outer badger]

said i dont wanna know about the glitch.. lol

[raw ether]

Idk if it’s actually considered a glitch

It just calls multiple times so the deer get unstuck

[outer badger]

i have one weird zone - top right lake on Layton.. they drink in a rocky hillside, and at that zone, they often dont react to the caller, no matter how much i call.. all i can do to make em move, is shoot and make em flee..

[raw ether]

I have one there too they like to teleport when I shoot there

It’s annoying

[outer badger]

they are kinda gettin stuck in the rocks and stuff, so im able to shoot em even if they try to flee.. i dont like to shoot before i can confirm that they are all there, so i dont shoot the zone down to one animal..

im actually there now

[raw ether]

Ew pc

I hope they add support for keyboard on console

I’m getting tired of using my controller and missing

[outer badger]

i feel u... for me personally, games that involve shooting is a lot better with mouse and keyboard.. ofc u can get good at controller, but it's not for me

[raw ether]

Yeah but I have a series x, I have a keyboard that works for it but it won’t work on cotw

[outer badger]

that sux

[raw ether]

Yeah

Works on halo reach and cold war

But not cotw

Sad days

[outer badger]

maybe some day 🙂

[raw ether]

Yeah I hope

[outer badger]

ooh.. same zone i got the lvl2 diamond last time i was here

[round kiln]

burh

lucky

[outer badger]

lol - ofc.. its always luck 🙂

another small lvl3 - 257.40

[outer badger]

another lvl3

260 this time.. gettin bigger at least 😛

[soft cedar]

Just shot my first super rare

[outer badger]

wow! congrats! boy, i would like to get me one of those 🙂

[pine trench]

Congrats

[round kiln]

oh damn nice

very smol score for that weight

[outer badger]

i dont even have a super rare.. i have a diamond melanistic axis that i messed up.. there was a bunch in same spot, and i went ham, and shot everything through bushes and all.. and when i harvested him, i saw what i've done - sadge.. but still has a spot in the lodge, since he looks awsome 🙂

[soft cedar]

2800 kills is all it took

[outer badger]

im at approx 5000, and havent got a better than gold pie.. some silver albinos, and zero melas.. got one GO tho

and 49 diamonds..

[soft cedar]

Wow man I’m only at 18 can’t wait to put the level 10 with him once I get it

[outer badger]

yea, hoping to bag some nice rares.. probably have a long way to go still to get the GO huddle 🙂

ended up taking the trophy shots in the tent lol- he was in a big herd, and many of em stood "frozen" and as i was harvesting him, they got unfrozen, and killed me, so i spawned back in the tent ^^

[soft cedar]

I had this guy standing in a zone around 2000

[outer badger]

a bugged one huh?

[soft cedar]

Ya but it wasn’t over 100 kg so it makes me wonder if it was only a diamond

Bugged diamond

[outer badger]

i never got one of those lvl4 buggers..

but i wasnt playing the game much at the time when they were around.. they fixed it now i hope

[soft cedar]

They have not fixed it on console yet hopefully the rancho del arayo update and great one fixes come soon

[outer badger]

ok.. at least ppl are getting non bugged ones too on console

it should be fixed on pc now, so when console get rancho update, it will prob be fine

[soft cedar]

Yeah I just have to shoot another 3000 or so more before I see another one😂

[outer badger]

yea.. lol.. well, as u said, maybe it was just a diamond

[soft cedar]

I think level 5 are bugged GO and level 4 are just bugged diamonds

[outer badger]

ok

just gotta keep killin 😉 hoping to be close to one on Layton now.. needed a break from Rancho

I actually enjoy grinding Layton more than Rancho.. and also, Layton is my favorite map by far

[rigid forge]

Welcome to the club!

[full cave]

Score has nothing to do with weight

[pliant oak]

since animal scoring 2.0 its not about weight so much

just had a great run

one troll 3 loads of 85 - 100kg big respawns then a decent diamond of 260 then a max weight 100 kg 270

got that feeling 😁

[cerulean jewel]

nice

[round kiln]

nice

[pliant oak]

fingers crossed respawn next run 😁

[round kiln]

imagine if the GO

is on my layton

the entire time

[outer badger]

i got paranoid he was on my map the other day, so i went checking all my zones i dont hunt lol

[spice crater]

got him after 50 kills or so 🙂

[outer badger]

50 kills? wow..

well, congrats, even if u dont deserve one 😛

[spice crater]

haha, I have not shot a diamond WT yet so they do not only spawn from diamonds.

[outer badger]

yea, i know.. im pretty sure every wt buck has a chance of spawning as a diamond or GO

[spice crater]

Oh really?

[outer badger]

just RNG

and u just proved it

[spice crater]

I think I will continue with this tent and tripod stuff to learn more about grinding

[outer badger]

u on pc?

[spice crater]

It is very interesting

Yes, I do play for two weeks on pc now, originally started on console.

😄

[outer badger]

ok 🙂 well, u sure hit the jackpot 😉

remember to put in a lottery ticket 😉

[spice crater]

My buddy has been grinding for one longer then I have the game he will be suprised when he wakes up, can not wait to see his reaction haha

[outer badger]

lol

[spice crater]

I am not 18 yet so I can't

[outer badger]

ok lol

[spice crater]

Almost though!

[outer badger]

i've got one in approx 5100 kills, so yea..

[spice crater]

You will get there bud, don't you worry.

[outer badger]

yea, if i keep goin at it, i will

going for the huddle (3)

[spice crater]

Wow! you have two already?

[outer badger]

no, only one so far

but im putting in the time and effort, so im not giving up

[spice crater]

I saw some rares and diamonds of yours in this discord earlier.

[outer badger]

yea, 50 diamonds on the grind so far

[spice crater]

wow!

I do not even have 50 diamonds in total

[outer badger]

need some of ur luck 🙂

[spice crater]

haha, If I could I would pass it over.

[outer badger]

lol yea 😉

well, im ok with it taking some time.. they just "taste" better when finally showing up 🙂

[round kiln]

bruh

one more GO that's under 1k kills and i am fucking done.

[raw ether]

Huh

[white kite]

Are GOs now more common or is it because Rancho is easier? I'm on console

[outer badger]

ppl have been getting "free" ones on Layton as well

[white kite]

Thanks

[outer badger]

but on Rancho, it's easier to shoot high numbers quick

also easier to find ur zones there

[pliant oak]

rancho you start on there with good spawns and lots of big males

so it seems easier then they spread out

so it kinda gets harder the more you progress in your grind on rancho

where as layton is a bit more systematic

kill two move to next zone

[round kiln]

me: zones stay, deer go bye bye

[outer badger]

Starting todays grind at 1871 kills on Layton - How much longer, big boy? ^^

[calm torrent]

forever

[outer badger]

hope not 😉

[remote dome]

How do you get a fabled one ?

[outer badger]

best way is to find your whitetail drinking zones, and start grinding.. (short answer) 🙂

if u search on utube, u will find videos on it

[remote dome]

Ight thx

[outer badger]

np

[outer badger]

Not bad.. 5th wt i kill today is my first mela ever.. Didn't see it was a mela at first, cuss he was standing in the bushes pretty far away.. managed to save him with the second shot 🙂

firtst mela wt, i have other melas 🙂

[pliant oak]

nice

[outer badger]

thx 🙂 i was starting to wonder if ever wud see one lol

[outer badger]

and now i got a lvl3 scoring 262.20 at same zone i got the mela.. 🙂

[tame solar]

The chat went a full day without anyone taking 😬

Can't wait for rancho to come out and get this chat back to life

[outer badger]

yea, been pretty dead lately

just shot my second lvl3 troll today i think... havent picked him up yet.. been hot so far.. im only 33 kills in today

no, he made it. 261.30 - had a pretty low estimate, so i figured he was a troll

[remote dome]

Do they all need to be diamonds?

[outer badger]

what u mean?

[remote dome]

Like the whitetail

[outer badger]

sry, i dont understand the question

[turbid snow]

If you mean what a troll mean

Its when its a max lvl but it wont be diamond

[remote dome]

When you have to kill a lot of deer for the fabled do they need to be diamond

[turbid snow]

Higher lvl doesnt always equal high trophy

[turbid snow]

No

[outer badger]

no

[turbid snow]

Just kill and open a "slot"

For a fabled one to possibly spawn

[remote dome]

Oh ok

[outer badger]

when u kill a wt, a new will respawn from that one

[rigid forge]

Some players have theorized that a great one spawns in place of a diamond spawn

Which makes sense given that GO is a variation of diamond

[outer badger]

and i'm one of those who think thats just a myth.. i shot nothing but garbage the whole day before i got my GO

[full cave]

Nah that’s been confirmed not true. People have gotten GOs off of non diamond whitetail

[rigid forge]

I said diamond SPAWN

Not respawned off of a diamond

[full cave]

Even still that’s not true.

[rigid forge]

And again, we don’t know the specifics of how spawning works, let alone the spawning mechanics of a great one

[full cave]

True, but plenty of people grinded for a great one and got it without a diamond

[rigid forge]

So all of these theories are just that: theories

[full cave]

Some guy only had a 100 kills, nothing good, and got one out of nowhere

[rigid forge]

My personal theory is every time the game spawns a diamond whitetail, there’s an RNG that determines if that diamond will instead spawn as a great one

But once again

Just a theory

[full cave]

Yeah I know it’s just a theory

It’s just some of them make no sense whatsoever

[rigid forge]

I think it’s the most plausible one tbh given that the devs have said that Great One is a variation of diamond

[full cave]

What does “variation of diamond” even mean lol

[rigid forge]

My guess is that it means that the great one is a special variant of a diamond (which would also make sense given that messing up a great one makes it a gold)

[full cave]

Oh yeah that’s true

[rigid forge]

Kind of like how albino is a fur variation

[full cave]

Yup

[outer badger]

what i believe is that any buck have a chance of spawning as a diamond. rare or a GO.. just what i believe.. cant prove it

[full cave]

That’s actually the way it used to be back on the old system, spawns have changed a ton though

[outer badger]

thats possible.. but i do know i only shot garbage the whole day before it got my GO, and i probably shot hundreds (rancho) this was the worst day i had, and i actually got angry cuss it was so bad.. and i deleted 4 zones in anger.. shortly after, he spawns in

[pliant oak]

just think its random

[outer badger]

yup, me too

[pliant oak]

today been hard nothing really

[outer badger]

one of those days, huh? u hunting wt?

[sturdy marten]

Wow is that the real Ron?

just watched your content like 15 minutes ago

[outer badger]

its him, yes 😉

[sturdy marten]

He was the reason I even found out this game exists

Thanks Ron

[spice crater]

I have a great one but I do not have a diamond whitetail yet.

Under 50 kills

[calm torrent]

wack

[spice crater]

I am grinding for a second one to learn more about respawns and zones.

[calm torrent]

i haven't hunt whitetails too much i played Layton and Hirsch i just got tired of changing the time and nothing happening at any lakes

[pliant oak]

stop trolling stop wasting your own energy its pointless

[woven pumice]

78 points seems far to much for calling it pointless. can you give an explanation ron so nobody has to waste their energy?

[nocturne haven]

I am level 60 and have 13 skill points and 11 perks....Level 60 seems to be the top level....how do I get more skill/perks?

[fast ridge]

It's an occasional glitch that comes from resetting skill/perk trees. You can't use the extra points anyways.

[nocturne haven]

but I dont have all the skills/perks enabled...can you get more after level 60?

[spice trellis]

Ron lost his data and devs helped him with a dev account, which has an abnormal amount of points

[fast ridge]

oh is that what happened? Oof

[spice trellis]

Scroll up thru #🦌︴general if you want more context

It was a couple hours earlier today

And maybe block this guy

He's just a troll

[woven pumice]

i asked ron to explain it...the video from the picture is from 2 weeks ago. i am just couriouse o hear from ron what he has to say about it

[pliant oak]

ive explained it numerous times but i lost 3 hard drives in one month so the devs gave me a save

it has 78 skill and perk points which dont do anything but its just part of the save

[spice trellis]

Ye, with 'earlier today' I meant a convo that took place

Not the actual crux of the matter

[woven pumice]

oh ok i see

[pliant oak]

some troll just trying to be clever not the first wont be the last

i dont see the point in investing energy to be negative

^^^^ que le troll

[fast ridge]

See, people like said troll are likely part of why the super-rare gallery is gone

people throwing accusations to make themselves feel better

[fallow owl]

May I ask to possibly help make things make more sense: does that save that was given just have 100 of each? And you’ve spent the correct amount of 22 skills and 22 perks? Leaving that 78 left over?

[pliant oak]

its just locked cant change it

i might ask if they can just removed the extra points but they are busy dont like wasting their time

or start all over again

for like the 8th time 😁

[fallow owl]

Well while all these trophies are backwards 😳 now might be the time 😭😭 hope that can be resolved

[spice trellis]

with an offsite backup this time, as a suggestion

[pliant oak]

im sure something can be done hope so

[spice trellis]

Also Flinter, thanks a bunch for the advanced warning on the fur type thing

I haven't touched wt since Rancho and now don't have wonky trophy furs

[pliant oak]

tk did say to be fair that this may happen

so we did know

[fallow owl]

I did my best to let people know there was a chance 😭 glad it was helpful! 🤞🤞 still hoping it can be fixed. Hopefully we find out soon what the devs know and can do

[spice trellis]

Cheers~

[woven pumice]

thanks for the answer

[woven pumice]

did you check on your whitetail dias from rancho? i got two common fur type and now they are both albino dias

[fast ridge]

well both my rares turned into commons and my two diamonds became piebalds

hurt deleting them tbh but oh well.

[woven pumice]

oh so its really a thing?

[fast ridge]

Unfortunately

there's always more to be found though

[fallow owl]

I don’t think I shot any. If I did they weren’t big 😳

[woven pumice]

was a wise decision to not go for wt. my heart is bleeding...

[spice crater]

Wow , are your animals and progress gone bud?😬

[pliant oak]

this was when call of the wild first came out

[spice crater]

Oww

[dusky helm]

greatings from Pratze 86 🙂

[fallow owl]

Pratze86? One of the OGs 😳

[dusky helm]

yes;)

[pliant oak]

hows pratze

😁

[raw ether]

A wild Flinter has appeared. Catch him before he escapes!

[dusky helm]

its a friend of mine and i came to the game through his twinbrother (magnet)

[spice trellis]

How about the SRs from your GO grind? Are they fixed?

[fallow owl]

They are fixed 🙂

[spice trellis]

Yay~

[pliant oak]

pratze was one of the original content creators not sure when he started maybe a bit after me think flinter and dd33 probably similar time

[fallow owl]

Ahh that’s very cool! I saw he did a bit of content somewhat recently. I remember he would host some of the new content streams in theHunter classic!

[pliant oak]

he done some devs streams i done some stuff with him

[dusky helm]

i didnt know, that he is still so well known in this communitiy ups

[pliant oak]

i did a video with him for bush rangers run and the most random funny thing happened i dont know if i filmed it or not long time ago but the sun shone on our heads and a massive penis shadow was on the floor was laughing for about ten minutes 😂

[dusky helm]

i tought flinter is the OG;)

[pliant oak]

hes my protegy

😂

hes been around since nearly the start

think about same time as dd33

at the start there was me mainly for classic

hoocairs

but he came probably after flinter

pratze and dd33

the main ones

what i will say is flinter is one of the few content creators who can do both games well

[woven pumice]

i only know pratzes first letsplay startet over 10 years ago

[pliant oak]

he did stop content creating a long time ago then did a little bit recently on call of the wild

you do get many content creators for many games often a lot fall by the way

will be interesting to see how this new update works with the grinding

glad there wasnt a pop wipe

[fallow owl]

Those old old classic videos from Pratze or like Rons big mule deer video pre-truracs will always be my favorites

[pliant oak]

funny thing with that mule deer one is i put a stupid song on it so never got anything from it 😂

kinda taught me not to do that again

those kinda mistakes you learn as you start part of the journey i guess to being a content creator

[nocturne haven]

what ia the best colour to use for tracking???? answers on a postcard please

[abstract atlas]

haha

guys

guess what

the albino GO is now a common

[outer badger]

and mine is a albino lol

[raw ether]

At least we know it’s the only rare great one as of now so

[plain raptor]

It depends on which reserve you are in and its environment

[abstract atlas]

yeah but i want it to be albino y´know

[nocturne haven]

just normal grassland

[raw ether]

sits here and realizes I can’t get the albinos rack on Xbox yet

[plain raptor]

Probably a blue or red color, sometimes green depending on its vibrancy

[plain raptor]

Oh no, sorry to hear that 😦

[nocturne haven]

I thibk Cyan is the answer

[plain raptor]

Cyan is nice

I go by what stands out to me more

[nocturne haven]

cyan except in snow

[iron valve]

They'll probably drop an update fixing the rancho trophies eventually

[spice trellis]

I doubt it

This is a side effect of the retroactive fix to wt older than Rancho having wacky fur types, and we had fair warning that it might break whitetail taxi'd after Rancho

[iron valve]

We'll just have to wait I'm really happy that we finally got console news tho

[spice trellis]

Oh yah

Consoles won't have to deal with any of this mess~

[iron valve]

Console also wont have ez GOs🗿

I knew something was off about them

[fast ridge]

yeah that's why I'm not going to be picking the grind back up

if I find one, I find one

[pliant oak]

as me and scarecrow was saying i personally dont think they were too common

[fast ridge]

ngl though now I really feel bad for that guy who left the server over not finding one despite 1k kills

[pliant oak]

you have 1000s of people shooting 1000s of deer yet probably 30 - 50 been taken in about 4 weeks

maybe less

[iron valve]

I mean they obviously were since they said they adjusted the spawns

[iron valve]

Blitz?

[pliant oak]

well the funny thing is often the people complaining that they are too easy or were too easy dont have a go

if they were so easy why literally no one got em ?

[fast ridge]

ngl. I'm going to laugh if those people complaining end up getting the spawn rate dropped into nonexistence

[iron valve]

That's true I guess u also see alot of people without GOs who take everything about the GO grind as true

[nocturne haven]

did I miss some news update for xbox?? whats happening?

[pliant oak]

you have people saying like they too common yet blitz for eg had about 7000 or 8000 kills and didnt have one so hows that too easy

[iron valve]

Blitz also has horrible and I mean horrible luck

[pliant oak]

some of the low kill ones one of mine included kinda scuppered how hard they were

[iron valve]

No actual update but they told us what is causing the delay

[pliant oak]

avg you still killing 1500+ minimum normally

and flinter got his about 1600 in at the start

so no real difference apart from they work

[iron valve]

Did yall ever figure out if spawning a GO on Rancho spawned one on layton?

[pliant oak]

im 2000 in now on 4th rancho

[fast ridge]

Console delay was due to a PS4-specific crash being found before release

[pliant oak]

i dont think thats a thing it maybe but i dont think so

[nocturne haven]

what is the GO issue?

[spice trellis]

Probability is still probability

[pliant oak]

the key is look over the whole not low kills one

[spice trellis]

Judging if something is too common or too rare is almost impossible from a single person's perspective

[pliant oak]

on avg was still about the same rate as previous for most people

[iron valve]

True

[fast ridge]

They were considered a little "too common" thanks to the people who enjoy complaining

[iron valve]

I doubt they decreased it by a ton

[pliant oak]

i guess we will see now back to grinding 😂

[fast ridge]

It'd be hilarious if the GO rate dries up almost completely and suddenly people are complaining the opposite

[pliant oak]

maybe thats whats trying to be achieved a middle ground

[nocturne haven]

wat...? too common??? I was already wondering if they existed at all

[spice trellis]

Someone was saying today or yesterday that they had a GO before a diamond, under 50 kills. Kinda tells me it would've been an initial spawn GO, which in my opinion should probably not be a thing

[nocturne haven]

so what...they turned the spawn rate down??? since when

[fast ridge]

Since this update today

[spice trellis]

And my personal theory is that it's those spawns that are skewing the general perspective on GO probability

[iron valve]

On pc

[spice trellis]

If all they did was make it so a GO can't spawn as initial spawn, that would be enough of a fix

[iron valve]

True

[outer badger]

yup

[iron valve]

It could have been the initial spawn percentage that they decreased since there was a ton

[pliant oak]

if that was the case it must of been super rare as i think i only seen one actual proven single go kill with 1 kill

[sturdy marten]

I don’t even see regular whitetail deer but then again I’m just bad

[outer badger]

now i've put all my wt's showing wrong fur type in a lodge by em self, so i dont get em mixed up with my non bugged ones.. hope they will be fixed at some point

[nocturne haven]

and xbox?

[spice trellis]

If people still counted kills between patches without taking into account pop reset or the new Rancho pop, then that skews the numbers too

[plain raptor]

I am not a dev, but the fur types appear to be finicky as hell

[iron valve]

This is one of the few times I'm happy I'm on console so I dont have to deal with buggy furs

[iron valve]

Just pc I think

[fast ridge]

Just PC for the moment

[pliant oak]

yeah true i often only include in that grind

[spice trellis]

Consoles are getting an announcement within this week, as per #📢︴game-news

[iron valve]

I hope they keep us informed with all updates going forward

[nocturne haven]

I think it was already set to minimum on xbox 😂 😫

[pliant oak]

that is one thing the team are pretty good at

[spice trellis]

That seems to be the plan, so here's hoping

[pliant oak]

will be great to see the console people with the new updates

[nocturne haven]

in what way????

[spice trellis]

Cuz it'll be good for consoles to get Rancho?

With the issues fixed ofc

[nocturne haven]

well yeah...cant wait to get griding on rancho ....

[iron valve]

I hope the pc update is bug free for yall

[spice trellis]

Thanks

[nocturne haven]

xbox players feels like 2nd class citizens right now

[cerulean jewel]

they are! jk

[nocturne haven]

😂 😂

thanks julien

[fast ridge]

Only issue I've noticed so far is not initial-spawning in tents on Cuatro. Get dropped at the nearest outpost instead.

idk if it applies to other maps

that's more of a minor irritation than a gamebreaker though.

[cerulean jewel]

Im still getting quite bad fps on vurhonga

not to the same extent though and no sound issues yet either

[fast ridge]

be sure to report it

[sturdy marten]

I’ve been getting sound issues

Not sure if it’s the same thing but sometimes the sound will like slow down

Sounds like everything is at 0.25x speed

[versed basin]

25 super rare wt and a rare GO. think they will be fixed this time?

[fast ridge]

Likely can't without re-breaking the older trophies.

it's a no-win scenario 😔

[versed basin]

ouch

[rugged halo]

At what point in time do you collectively agree it’s time to hang up your cleats @EW? How about instead of breaking the game a tiny bit at a time, you concentrate on a new canvas and learn from all your mistakes. You can always go and make CoTW 2 and the fan base will be rejuvenated again. Just don’t copy and paste any codes (if that’s how it actually works). Hire a few extra employees if that means getting it right this time. Open up test betas, be it public, or private. Test, test, then retest your updates before release. If there are delays, we will wait money in hand. You have a devoted player base. Stop pushing us away with a half baked pie. CoTW 2 can be your chance to adjust fire and align your sights. We will always be passionate and thankful for The Hunter CoTW. Now let’s move into the future together. A wise person once said, “You got to know when to hold them, and you got to know when to fold them.” It’s time to lay your hand down Expansive Worlds. With all the love and respect in the world. Thank you so much for such a wonderful and visually appealing game.

[outer badger]

Well said - a big problem here, is all the "fanboys/girls" who keep making exuses for the devs.. you ppl are a big part of the problem we are seeing here.. by making exuses, u basically say that messing up the game is fine.. it also makes the devs lazy.. time to get some competent ppl in to the dev team

[plain raptor]

I don’t think they need a whole other game to fix the problems they are having now

[limber hare]

^

[proper compass]

If anything a new game would be one of the worst things EW could do right now, it would just be seen as a cash grab or abandoning ship

bugs dont exactly warrant a whole new game either, if we're ignoring games like assassins creed or cod that get annual releases usually you only ever get a sequel when theres some major jumps in technology like classic to cotw

[rugged halo]

@plain raptor I disagree, but I respect your opinion also. I feel some of the bugs, or non-sim releases have divided the community to a level that may not be repairable with the current game. You can’t make getting one of the most coveted trophies on the game easier for one platform, then naturally not even offering it to the other. It doesn’t work like that. I play PC and Xbox. It breaks my heart that console will not get this spawn rate even if it was broken. I got my 5 great ones on console before the update even hit PC and knew they would mess up the spawn rates once the PC update hit. Lack of testing will do this. I pray EW doesn’t start losing their console players at this rate of divide.

[plain raptor]

I get that the fur issue is disappointing. I am sure a lot of mine are messed up but it’s not like we weren’t aware of this issue before we dived into the whitetail grind. I don’t excuse the developers because there is much room for improvement but I also understand that some things just can’t be prevented

[pliant oak]

thehunter games develop over many many years

its not great if there is issues

we all hate em but it dont need a new game

[raw ether]

So true, I wanted the chance to get a GO like the pc players had

[pliant oak]

you have to remember many people who had gos on pc still killed thousands of whitetail on avg

some got lucky but dont side on the lucky few

the average was still as much as flinters or anyone prior

[outer badger]

nerfing the spawnrate now, is unfair to the ppl who havent got one

[pliant oak]

it depends what changed tbh

they maybe still similar rate wise but something else changed

this wont be noticed until a few of us kill them

then you will truly see how different it is

[outer badger]

i agree on that initial spawns should not be a thing.. and thats it.. i've killed almost 6K wt bucks now, and i've got one

[rugged halo]

Let’s agree to disagree my man. I’m strictly worried about the divide. Offering a product to 1/3 of your player base, then not even offering it to the remaining 2/3s. Not a good avenue for success

[pliant oak]

they know what they doing they a billion pound company and more

we dont need to tell them about business

[raw ether]

I mean EW is pretty good compared to other video game companies

cough cough rockstar

[fast ridge]

case in point, Bugsthesda

or EA

[pliant oak]

i have the scope of being here since it started so its a bit clearer to me

classic had many issues at the start

cotw will as it grows develops

its a baby basically

[plain raptor]

The GO spawn rate was not where it’s supposed to be so they fixed it. It was going to be unfair no matter when they did it

[rugged halo]

Once again, let’s agree to disagree. It’s the consumers who keep your company afloat in the end. I was a low key restaurant manager for a huge corporation and still new the basic business model. 1 unhappy customer can reach 10 people….. then the dominoes can start falling…….

[fast ridge]

...food and video games are two VERY DIFFERENT things.

[pliant oak]

we dont need to worry about business they know that

[fast ridge]

so not a very good comparison

[cerulean jewel]

everything would be fine if they just tested the updates

[proper compass]

Yeah but 90% of the player base isnt in this discord and doesnt interact with the game in any other way than playing it, we here are a very small minority. Hard to influence a group who is completely isolated

[pliant oak]

i dont get why people think they dont test them

[cerulean jewel]

if they test it and find these bugs, why release it

[fast ridge]

EA? Quite literally chokes money out of people with all the micro-DLC's.
Bethesda? Leaves game-breaking bugs in their games, never fixes them and makes the community do it.
Nintendo? Lets a vital control piece of their current console stay broken.

What do all three game companies have in common? People buy their things anyways.

[cerulean jewel]

what is the point of releasing an update if you've tested it and it creates more bugs

[fast ridge]

No matter who or how many people complain.

EW's at least trying to fix things.

They could easily not.

[raw ether]

Rockstar? Turns a blind eye to their community and continues to milk GTA 5 for all its worth and more.

[rugged halo]

Business is business and a unhappy customer is an unhappy customer at the end of the day. Open up your eyes for a second and think outside the box. I have personally not bought a game because a trusted friend said it was garbage, same applies to a restaurant. I haven’t tried one because I trusted friends said it was garbage. Two different industries…… same result. Just saying

[fast ridge]

And still a terrible comparison.

[pliant oak]

this is one of the reasons i said the devs should show some of the process that goes into making cotw. people often assume because something isnt working or bugged or right that nothing is done or done correctly when the actual truth is lots is always being done and i wish some of that was shown as it would make people understand better.

[fast ridge]

Food and video games are two completely different things.

[rugged halo]

I’m not comparing the industries as a whole. Just the individual encounter aspect how it can relate.

[fast ridge]

And they really can't. Because, again, two different things. You don't need a video game to stay alive.

[rugged halo]

And you don’t need a restaurant to survive either

[plain raptor]

They are pin-pointing the issues that have risen within the community. Everything will not be fixed in a blink of an eye just because an announcement was made. Until Rancho is out for everyone and we can move on, it’s still going to be a bumpy road

[rugged halo]

Also, video games can keep people alive. You don’t know ones struggles in life, and a video game may be the only avenue of safe release……..

[raw ether]

I’ll be honest Call of the Wild saved me during first year of college. I didn’t have any friends and had I not been able to play I might not actually be here now

[rugged halo]

I love how, I come into this discord with an open heart, and nothing but respect. Then just get ganged up on and bullied. Congratulations……. Let’s keep the divide in the community. So toxic. I’ve said my peace. I’m not a drama queen, so you will see me exit at this time. Good luck and happy hunting. Remember…. “A diamond a day will bring the great one your way.” -Grim

[pliant oak]

no one is being toxic. just people commented on your analogy

majority of people here all help each other and wish only for the best

[plain raptor]

Not everyone is going to agree with you, Grim. Does not make us toxic

[cerulean jewel]

is it just me or did the console and pc chat swap around

[proper compass]

EW has made some mistakes there's no doubt in that but people being so rash in their criticisms of the game doesn't change anything, tearing down the dev team and being so hyper critical on every bug while not acknowledging when they do something right probably doesn't make them very enthusiastic to interact and share things with us

[full cave]

poor ol ron he’s a know it all buddy you can’t win for losing wouldn’t worry about him or any of the other discord warriors in this chat. Every single one that comes for you is butthurt ol cry baby’s😅

[pliant oak]

not know it all i watch grim hunt and stream

[cerulean jewel]

but noone 'came for him'

[pliant oak]

he called out analogy then wonders why people question it

you call something out people will question it regardless of who says it

me you or him

[outer badger]

it was a pefectly fine analogy.. ppl not being bright enough to understand it, is not his prob

[full cave]

lol regardless i don’t like you i think you’re a lousy human and disrespectful and frankly don’t deserve the measly 19k on youtube you have bud😅

[pliant oak]

doesnt matter if its wrong or right people will challenge or question regardless

thats what some dont understand

could be 110 percent right

[cerulean jewel]

19k is more than respectable

[pliant oak]

why is that ?

[plain raptor]

This chat was so nice before

[pliant oak]

im humouring your troll skills

yeah then the toxic people come in to disrupt it

[cerulean jewel]

dont give him attention hes probably a kid

[pliant oak]

its a shame people waste time being negative

[cerulean jewel]

just ignore him and keep doing what you do

[pliant oak]

it doesnt bother me

[shrewd lantern]

I could get more followers by waving my dick around

[pliant oak]

thats a video

[raw ether]

Someone needs a diapie change

[cerulean jewel]

wtf has happened to this chat 🤣

[pliant oak]

just some venting which is understandable

[proper compass]

people have nothing better to do than pick fights in a discord about a hunting game

[cerulean jewel]

true

[tropic musk]

COTWCLIPS#1223 has been warned

Reason: Harrassing Ron

[raw ether]

Oof

[cerulean jewel]

just agree to disagree

[analog flower]

Alright now

This discussion has went so far offtopic that I can't even see how far off the rails it has gone

[pliant oak]

pretty much into a lake

😁

[analog flower]

More like an endless canyon without bottom

[proper compass]

through a lake into the pacific

[pliant oak]

oooh wonder whats at the bottom

maybe a great one

[analog flower]

Discussion is fine but respect one another. Dissing and going after each other won't help anything.

[raw ether]

Same thing that’s at the center of a tootsie pop lol

[sonic badge]

Good thing I brought popcorn 🍿 😋 🤪

[analog flower]

Luckily you won't need that anymore. This ends

[pliant oak]

i just had to look that up we call that a lolly pop over here in uk

[raw ether]

We do here in the us, tootsie pop is a brand

[pliant oak]

yeah i just seen that googling it 😁

[raw ether]

Cool

[pliant oak]

we have chupa chups here which are similar

[fast ridge]

so, theories on the next GO? I'm thinking it's going to be red deer

[outer badger]

hoping for moose

[sonic badge]

Red deer or mulley

[raw ether]

I feel like it needs to be something on the original 2 maps for sure

[plain raptor]

If they stick to Layton, Elk or Moose

[pliant oak]

mule deer would be my number one choice next

then maybe red deer

might need new lodge for Great one red deer 😁

[analog flower]

Roe deer. Atypical roes look pretty sick. Completely different from anything else

[cerulean jewel]

Siberian Musk deer

5m teeth

[pliant oak]

weird teeth

like uk people 😁

[raw ether]

Red deer would be cool, however they can get to 9 which I think should mean it couldn’t

Cause level 9 is insane as is

Roe deer would be sick since they also max at level 3

[analog flower]

Agreed. Red deer are already in GO level with lvl 9s

[outer badger]

mules too

[fast ridge]

I'd love sika deer GO's tbh

[pliant oak]

i see red deer a lot near me we have loads literally a mile from me

they are cool one of my fav animals

[raw ether]

I see hogs a lot

[pliant oak]

fallow would be nice also

[raw ether]

We had 17 on the last trail camera picture

[analog flower]

What is the biggest you've seen irl compared to the in-game once Ron?

[pliant oak]

is that with a feeder out ?

[raw ether]

Yep

[pliant oak]

nothing like ingame that big

[raw ether]

If you wanna see diamond red deer irl go to NZ lol

Those suckers are enormous

[pliant oak]

what i would say is dont try like this guy doing

you do get a lot of people doing selfies and stuff near em

thats like a 6 maybe in game

[raw ether]

5-6 yeah

[pliant oak]

so maybe at best id see a 7

[analog flower]

Oh lol that idiot 😄

[pliant oak]

yeah they do it in rutting then wonder why they get launched

[analog flower]

I wonder how empty your head must be when you approach a wild animal with massive spears on their head 😁

[raw ether]

Looks at every rodeo cowboy in Texas hmm yes

[pliant oak]

i do wonder how those rodeo guys and gals do that on horses and bulls

ive ridden some wild horses but that stuff is crazy

we used to have a farm with just horses

[raw ether]

Texans are a different breed of crazy

[pliant oak]

my dad would or should of been born out there

born on to a horse all his life

would of suited him

[raw ether]

Man my go #2 grind is full of trolls

Hurts

[balmy summit]

annoyed and amused at the same time

the melas were piebalds

[raw ether]

That mela one

Lol

[balmy summit]

everything else was common

bruhhhhhhhhh

i hope they fix it, but at least i remember what was what

[raw ether]

Wait wait wait

[balmy summit]

the new update messed up the fur types

[raw ether]

Imagine someone rn has a piebald big rack go

[balmy summit]

someone definitely does

[raw ether]

And it just turned mela 😂😂😂

[versed basin]

mine turnt piebald

[outer badger]

i've put all my bugged fur ones into a lodge by em self, waiting for em to be fixed.. cuss i do expect them to fix it

[balmy summit]

good idea

heard some people just deleted their deer

[raw ether]

Oof

[outer badger]

that's not gonna happen.. have put way too many hours into it

[raw ether]

Poor LC

[balmy summit]

me too

[proper compass]

Wouldnt get your hopes up for a fix, devs have been saying for awhile that wt shot between rancho and this patch would be broken. Dont think they even can fix it without breaking the old wt again

[outer badger]

everything can be fixed.. it's a game

[raw ether]

I got my whitetail spawns to work a little better on console

[proper compass]

they cant fix the new ones without breaking the old ones, devs words not mine

[outer badger]

i know what they have said.. but it's just not good enough.. find a way.

[versed basin]

summer holidays so only time i can really grind now 25 glitched super rares and a glitched great one

[fast ridge]

oh one turned piebald?

[outer badger]

mine turned albino

[pliant oak]

ones piebald ones albino ones normal

[raw ether]

No I meant originally piebald then because the update it went mela

[pliant oak]

yeah not seen that yet

[raw ether]

That’s some mass tho

Freaking spiky

[pliant oak]

my piebald 3 diamond turned mela diamond

[fast ridge]

both my WT diamonds turned piebald

and my albino and melanistic silvers went common 😔

[raw ether]

My GO was common and now it’s common

[fast ridge]

...ironically, piebald is the one WT variant I haven't seen yet.

[outer badger]

i got 3 in one day a few days ago

small ones tho

[raw ether]

I want my next GO to be big rack

[outer badger]

most of my 57 diamonds turned either albino or pie

kept him in the main lodge tho

[raw ether]

My GO lodge consists 97% of whitetail

[outer badger]

kinda lost my motivation on keep grinding now that we know they nerfed the spawnrate.. we dont know how much they nerfed it, and there is also a chance they messed something up, so he wont spawn at all..

[remote dome]

Have you got one yet?

[outer badger]

got one

but im talking after todays update

[remote dome]

You should keep pushing and find out

[narrow thistle]

absolutely ridiculous

[remote dome]

I’m gonna try turkey how hunting

[outer badger]

i've killed nearly 6000 bucks in like a month.. so keep pushing is not that fun when u have no idea what they done to the spawnrate

[remote dome]

oh

I didn’t know you did that much

[narrow thistle]

50+ whitetail, not a common to be found

[outer badger]

i know.. i have no words

some of my 57 i've gotten after rancho was still common, but very few

[narrow thistle]

i have 2 commons out of all after closer inspection lmao

[outer badger]

yea lol

sad

[narrow thistle]

big sadge

[outer badger]

i expect them to find a fix for it..

just have to look harder

[tame solar]

I'm so sad that the go's spawning was changed

It was good

Now I can't get a GO

That was the only reason I wanted the map

[outer badger]

exept for what seemed to be initial spawns, the rate was fine

[plain raptor]

You can still get one

They’re not impossible to get

[tame solar]

But 10,000 kills is just to much time

[outer badger]

not everyone have time to grind 10 hours a day

[tame solar]

People just got so efficient and figured out how to kill them

[plain raptor]

You don’t need to

[outer badger]

u might

[plain raptor]

Grind what you can and when you can

[tame solar]

People should only be grinding 3 hours a day tops

[plain raptor]

Sometimes I only grind for an hour getting about 50 kills. It will take time but that’s the point

[tame solar]

Like people have lives and it's only the people that don't have lives that are gonna get the great one now😂

[tame solar]

Yea that's the pace people hit now. Compared to like 20 a year ago

[remote dome]

Someone just posted a great one in trophy gallery

[fast ridge]

I think we'll have to wait a week or two for the new spawn rate to be prevalent

[tame solar]

Like if it went down by a third I'm fine with that but half or more would be awful

[balmy summit]

They made great ones more rare?

[fast ridge]

People were complaining that other people were "getting them too easily"

[fallow owl]

That’s how every game is tho when it comes to top achievements and such. Classic’s big holiday events are won by the people putting 10+ hours a day in for instance. I do get that everyone wants one, and that’s fair enough. It in my opinion is also good that they aren’t easy

[rigid forge]

i feel one more thing that could have been done is put an algorithm in place that guarantees no chance of an initial spawn GO

would also prevent people from abusing pop resets to get one

[remote dome]

Omg it’s flinter

[plain raptor]

I could never pop reset unless there was something absolutely wrong with my map

[remote dome]

Flinter I love your vids man they help me as a new player

[turbid snow]

cries in not even a diamond wt xD

[sturdy marten]

Bro I don’t grind at all

I just say “ooh buck BLAM”

[remote dome]

Lol

[distant timber]

Same

It's a very effective tactic

[twin sundial]

I think initial spawn GOs should be a thing. If you get insanely lucky you get insanely lucky.

[sturdy marten]

Will you explain to me what this whole thing means now? Do you have to kill a certain amount for one to spawn?

[remote dome]

What maps can you get fabled ones on?

[plain raptor]

Layton and Rancho

They are the only maps that have whitetail

[remote dome]

Mk

Is there an estimated amount of deer you have to kill?

[plain raptor]

Not a definite number, but generally it’s a pretty good amount you have to kill to get one to spawn. Usually in the thousands

[remote dome]

Yup that’s what I thought

[rigid forge]

anywhere from 1 to 500,000. usually happens at around 1000-2000 kills, but people have gotten one at sub-500 and there are some with 5000+ kills who dont have one

[pliant fox]

@outer badger that GO do you think thays hacked. I did for a second but I don't really know anymore

[rigid forge]

@rare ember show me your recent havests page from the codex

btw the great one he posted looks REEEEEEEEEAAAALLY similar to this one on reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/theHunter/comments/p6aqa9/the_grea_one_rancho_de_arroyo_60h_in/

dunno if it's just coincidence or 🤷

[remote dome]

Lol

[fast ridge]

Not the actual harvest screen either 🤔

[remote dome]

Does anyone have the other guys?

It’s the same

[fast ridge]

...even the background is the same

[remote dome]

The times match up

He posted his 4 hours ago

[minor hearth]

@full cave That was your second infraction, see you in 3 days. Don't ever speak like that to people ( CC or other members ) ever again.

[pliant fox]

Nice pfp 😀

[minor hearth]

Thank @worldly hull for his art work.

[outer badger]

what Go are we talking about?

[minor hearth]

I removed it ( if you mean the one that was in the trophy gallery channel )

[pliant fox]

It was taken off... by NEDBELLA ugh always taking stuff down

(Sarcasm)

[outer badger]

yea, she cleared it up for me, dm'd me the screenshot.. it was most likely hacked

[pliant fox]

No I think he got it off of reddit

At least thats what robotwarfare said

[outer badger]

yea, but who ever shot it, got it very close range, and also he had like 3k cash.. so must have gotten it as one of his first kills..

[round kiln]

Or spent the money on something

(But not to defend them or anything, as i have basically no experience in this particular GO)

[outer badger]

cant say for sure, but it looks very fishy

[pliant fox]

The reason he was so close is because he was spider man and jumped out of the tree and blasted him with a shotgun

[outer badger]

must have been what happend ^^

with good wind, u might be able to crawl very close, but i doubt u get to 6m on a GO

this is the first screenshot i ever posted in here.. like a year ago, and then i was accused of hacking.. what happend was that i had just killed a wt or two, and i heard a wt running close to me, and i ran over and killed it.. he was stuck in a bush, and i didnt even see him before i heard the sound.. the pic was removed, but after i explained, it was posted again..

maybe a bit longer than a year.. i see from my cash that it wasnt long after i had to start fresh after losing my save after i reinstalled windows.. lost like 3mill on that

[remote dome]

I asked the dude on Reddit if he had discord

[regal cosmos]

so, now i gotta grind for a mela GO to complete this

😆

[outer badger]

mine turned albino too

and i got 50+ super rares 😛

[regal cosmos]

yea ... in a few years, when this bug is forgotten, i can flex these super rare GOs

[outer badger]

lol

i put em all in a lodge by em self.. hoping they'll fix it at some point

[regal cosmos]

so the "grab them while u can" period for GOs is gone now

[outer badger]

no idea how badly they're nerfed.. but grab and go was not the case for me.. .almost 6k bucks killed, and i got one

[balmy summit]

my albino great one is next to a 275.5 piebald and a 271 piebald

hate it and love it

[calm torrent]

show

[calm torrent]

GO racks are so chunky

[balmy summit]

@calm torrent

[calm torrent]

very nice setup

i have like

[balmy summit]

theyre all supposed to be common

[calm torrent]

no white tails

yeah i figured with the oc update and everyone saying something

[regal cosmos]

so, who is motivated to grind for a GO, amid all these changes

[toxic gorge]

Well, it must be a bit depressing atm for those continuing the hunt after yesterdays update where they increased the rarity of them spawning

But I mean, otherwise, it should be fine from here on out

[eager creek]

Yeah it kinda hit me like "damn maybe I won't ever see a GO now"

But there's also the added bragging rights since it's even more rare now

[round smelt]

Except some people got theirs before the update lol

[pliant oak]

you gotta be in it to win it

my current grind has been abandonded as ive started fresh levelling up as we speak

brand new game

[outer badger]

Many in this particular chat have probably noticed that i have been going pretty hard on the GO grind the past month. I have put in serious time and effort to reach my goal of having a GO huddle. I've had several 20 hours+ sessions, the longest being 25 hours. When i set my self a goal, i usually go hard to reach it- not only in this game, but in life in general. Just how i was built. Not everyone have the time to put this amount of hours into something non important, like a game. I am lucky to for the most part being able to spend my time as i like.
After yesterdays update, im not sure if im gonna bother to continue the grind.. and most importantly, i find it very unfair to the people who hasnt got a GO yet. Also, now us who got one (or more) before the update, will probably get smacked in the face with " you got it before the update, so it doesnt count" -well, some got it cheap, but not all of us. As long as RNG is involved, there will be some lucky ones.

And while im at it, i want to mention something that happened some days ago. I posted something that was meant to be helpful to others on the grind, and was instantly ganged upon. One of them, is one of the 2-3 mini mods/oracles i've noticed in this channel, who just have to have a say about absolutely everything in here. This persons response to my post was something along the line of "some people just make up bugs in this game" - I can assure you that i have zero intentions of making up anything at all. I simply just shared what i've found to help with this particular issue.

[eager creek]

I agree on the GO grind. I haven't killed nearly as many as you have, but knowing something that was already extremely rare just became even more rare was rather discouraging

And one thing that gets me is how people got genuinely mad at people for getting it as an initial spawn. That's just the luck of the draw and there's nothing wrong with it

[remote dome]

I’m new to the game and was thinking of starting a grind now I don’t want to

[eager creek]

Yeah I'm considering stopping the grind. There's people who before this patch had killed thousands of whitetails before they finally saw one

Seeing people getting them as often as they did was like a little ray of hope on my end. "If all these people can find one I'm sure I can eventually too"

I'll still keep my eyes peeled for one, but I'm not grinding anymore

Knowing my luck I'll see it get chased off by a bobcat :)

[remote dome]

Lol

[outer badger]

I get it, that its supposed to be hard to get one. what bothers me the most, is that its very unfair to the people who hasnt got one. about the initial spawn, there is no reason to get mad at ppl who gets one like that.. not their fault how the game mechanics are in this game.. however, my opinion is that it should not be possible, and only come from a respawn.

[eager creek]

I personally don't see why it should be restricted to a respawn only

Having an insanely low spawn rate is good enough

[outer badger]

ppl can abuse it by resetting their animal pop until they see one

[eager creek]

Ah, I get ya

How does resetting the population even work?

[restive cedar]

By manipulating game files. Which should flat out be seen as cheating

[eager creek]

Oh yeah for sure

[outer badger]

but im perfectly fine with ppl being lucky to get one without killing thousands.. thats just RNG

[eager creek]

Yeah, I agree

I think it technically is against the TOS since it's manipulation/modification of game files

[outer badger]

u delete the pop file
