If you are ever interested in hunting whitetail together let me know, you seem like you have some good game knowledge

acoustic cedar
#

Nice!!!

worldly flame
#

Dang man , I’m 612 kills in , 1 GO and 5 diamond , can’t get a rare!!!

acoustic cedar
#

^ that’s some great luck tho!!

#

I’m half wanting to go for a 6th

iron valve
#

That's both end of the spectrum with luck

acoustic cedar
#

If only they could fix the problem with the two that have the bugged fur types - I’d be one away from a double huddle šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­šŸ™ˆ

Whats this?? A fabled one fire??? Thats a great one fire indeed. What r we looking at off topic?

I have a GO but no rare. Life is so tough

#

People cry too much here

#

Wasn’t saying it like that , it’s funny , chill

#

I didn't know mashed potatoes were such assholes at least they are delicious lol

somber turret
#

It is funny that will probably be my luck I really want all three of the rares in one huddle

half sedge
#

When calculating numbers of kills, are females counted, or only males?

pliant oak
#

most people kill males only

crude sundial
pliant oak
#

i mainly only kill males unless there is a zone i dont like to hunt

#

sometimes i will also leave a doe zone

#

if its in a bad place

#

as if you dont kill that group and full nothing should get added to it

#

so it saves time by leaving it alone

#

basically if you have a few places that are bad or time consuming to grind. leave the group there if full and dont touch it.

#

then focus on the better areas

crude sundial
#

Ok thanks

velvet bough
#

starting to get closer to 10k wt kills now, im around 9,70o

#

9,700

#

actually 9,650 or so lol

#

i knew it was cashnip without looking at the emojis name lol

rigid forge

#

Well we dont know that as far as i know, it should be indeterminate whether or not piebalds can spawn as our data is not sufficent.

pliant oak
#

some do know whats legit or not it does seem though its not legit

#

hopefully thats not true

plain raptor
#

Y’all count?

pliant oak
#

not so much now. used to write down on a pad for each hunt how many males females

#

now i just kill em as quickly as possible and get ready for next hunt

acoustic cedar
#

I just go well I had x amount of harvests. I now have y amount so that’s approx that many kills

pliant oak
#

well the thing is many people on the grind now because of recent game changes dont actually pick up whitetail unless its a trophy

#

so ingame kills wont show as they not collected them

#

would be nice to have like classic how many of each species you killed

white swan
#

I was using a variant of a rifle I hadn’t previously used and that was my dedicated whitetail gun so I could check exactly how many I had killed. But now I do not pick them up unless they’re close, where im walking to or a trophy it seems

velvet bough
#

i used to count tho pretty much

somber turret
#

Me over here with just 123 killed

velvet bough
#

im not gonna have as much time to grind on top of hunting other species cuz now i gotta wor

#

work

half sedge
somber turret
#

I have one rare and three diamonds

half sedge

somber turret
#

Huh?

somber turret
#

Oh god lol

rugged cloud
#

all the diamonds i have are from Silver Peaks Ridge. 2 Bighorns and A multitude of pronghorn. i honestly think the pronghorns are broken

rugged cloud
# half sedge Why?

because in almost every herd of pronghorn ive seen theres been a diamond. once i saw a herd with three diamonds in it ;-;

#

like i said, pretty sure they may be broken lol

fast ridge
rugged cloud
fast ridge
#

also this should probs be in one of the general chatrooms instead of the fabled chat

#

I have some concerns for your population integrity in that case

rugged cloud
#

oh, well people were talkign about diamonds so i thought id add on

half sedge
#

Even I play silver ridge a lot

rugged cloud

sage ingot

That one that they based off the irl world record i believe

velvet bough
#

they based the big rack one too off of one irl

#

they just got the scores jacked up too high lol

Why are there Xbox controls and that’s a pc

fast ridge
#

It's possible to plug controllers into computers via USB

#

and before anyone asks, keyboard-mouse support for console has been requested multiple times

raw ether
#

Yeah but why on earth would you use a controller if you can use a keyboard lol

fast ridge
#

Some people prefer it

raw ether
#

I’d like to see a codex pic just in case

iron valve
#

It's also a trurac pic and not the harvest screen

#

Not as crazy as wt and much rarer

sage ingot
#

sage ingot
#

Even bigger paddles!

plucky spade
#

People talking about moose and red deer

Red dont need it

plucky spade
#

Red deer woild just be goddamn walking tree trunks

sage ingot

They're pretty much gos already

plucky spade

sage ingot
#

The way the racks are designed

plucky spade

Exactly lol

sage ingot
#

A sika go

Thatd be nice

plucky spade

That would be cool

sage ingot

from this

#

Owch..

#

I feel SO sorry for you

abstract atlas
#

Yeah it kinda destroyed the feeling i had for the game

tulip barn
#

Did you contact support ?

abstract atlas
#

Maybe ill play when they close schools because i will have nothing to do

#

nah

#

i doubt they will do something

tulip barn
#

You should contact Michael

#

If you loose the feeling for CotW classic has open arms

abstract atlas

Okay thanks i will but later because in 10min i“ll have to go outside

Sheesh

#

Think you found another great one rack

pliant oak
#

you never know they may fix the fur yet. fingers crossed.

sage ingot
#

Tf

high heath
#

a bug

abstract atlas
#

I killed him when the stupid bug was in the game

sage ingot
#

Not surprising

abstract atlas
#

All whitetails were bugged in the lodge

sage ingot
#

Ahh

high heath
#

most*

sage ingot
#

So was it not a true albino?

abstract atlas
#

It was

#

But lodges were bugged

fast ridge
#

It was a bug that came with Rancho's release

sage ingot
#

That sucks

fast ridge
#

all pre-Rancho whitetails and coyotes had their fur types borked, and unfortunately that fix bugged the post-Rancho ones in turn

sage ingot
#

I was lucky to not play back in Ranchos earlier released, I was on break

fast ridge
#

and sadly the post-Rancho/pre-patch ones can't be fixed without re-breaking the old trophies.

high heath
#

:( the big sad

sage ingot
#

Damn man, that just sucks

pliant oak
#

it was said about being a issue before it happened

#

so we did know

#

hopefully someone can add some code so it can be sorted

#

would make so many happy

devout forge
#

why’s everyone on about wonky racks means ur close to a go

high heath
#

my belief is: wonky racks = closer to atypical = GO

devout forge
#

why tho

round kiln
#

idk

pliant oak
#

not seen any wonky racks before mine

devout forge
#

how could that have anything to do with it

pliant oak
#

think its just random

devout forge
#

wonky racks pop up here and there for me

#

doesn’t seem to be giving me a go lmao

velvet bough
# pliant oak so we did know

the only thing is, they didnt say it would be permenant, and they said it isnt fixable. if they fix it, it will in turn mess up the previous messed up whitetail

#

it would be great if they could fix it tho i really wish they could

spark drift
pliant oak
#

you have to remember thehunter games evolve over many years

#

so lions may get a overhaul who knows

velvet bough
#

lions im sure they could fix eventually

pliant oak
#

yeah i know. they were looking at ways to sort it

#

as said thehunter games over a long time

#

so many things will get sorted

spark drift
#

the lions manes have sucked for like a year

#

in the lodge

pliant oak
#

its not that big of a issue

#

not ideal but not a massive issue

velvet bough
#

yea they got other things that are much more important to worry on fixing atm

#

like the LOD

spark drift
#

Well maybe for PC players

velvet bough
#

wdym lol

pliant oak
#

classic is 13 years old cotw 4 and a bit

#

so imagine in a few years

spark drift
#

it better be better lol

velvet bough
# pliant oak so imagine in a few years

yeah i just dont see them changing their entire engine just to fix a fur bug tho, but at least now they dont have to worry about it happening again at least i dont think

pliant oak
#

doesnt mean they need to change engine

velvet bough
#

and i didnt mean literally switching engines btw i mean changing how their own engine works

pliant oak
#

changing how it works is basically game making

velvet bough
#

i guess, but i know they said they couldnt fix it so it must be something massive

pliant oak
#

there is a issue they just finding how to fix it

velvet bough
#

well they said they cant tho

pliant oak
#

why is it even being debated

#

its a tiny none game breaking issue and its the fabled ones chat

velvet bough
#

well the issue mainly at least for me surrounds the fact it changed the fur type of great ones permenantly

#

but it is a thing of the past to me

rigid forge
#

It is possible to fix anything

pliant oak
#

yeah

velvet bough
#

yeah it is, im just saying what TK said

rigid forge
#

It’s a question of ā€œis it practical to fix this thing?ā€

velvet bough
#

yeahh thats probably more on point

#

id have to speak with someone on the team on why they said that

#

or someone who knows how the code works

pliant oak
#

why ?

Everyone how many whitetail drink zones do you have in your rancho map?

velvet bough

#

I’ve heard somewhere that there’s supposed to be 40 herds on your map

#

It’s possible that more than one whitetail herd uses some of those zones

sometimes you might see 3 lots of groups at similar spots

appreciate my wisdom

pliant oak
#

there is no special way. layton lakes you shoot upto 2 males per zone.

#

rancho you can do that or just shoot as many males as you want. as drink need zones are always around lakes.

velvet bough
#

im not too concerned since i have 2 great ones but its out of over 10k kills

Likely going to be bouncing between this, diamond Sika grind, and trying to finish my goose collection.

But I'm actually going to be keeping track from now on.

fast ridge

Bugged how?

full cave
#

Holy wow

fast ridge
#

That's a known if rare issue that I think happens when you've had the game running for a while

#

restarting the game should fix it

...where exactly is ghost lake anyways?

Always a good idea to post codex pics for verification along with trophies like that.

because unfortunately, things like that get hacked in a lot.

also whats the codex?

Codex can be found in-game in the menu. Provides some useful info about the game. For example harvest history.

think logically its not good to spread it about.

Ah gotcha. I’m new to the scene entirely. Like my third day in. Thought it’d be interesting to see trophies through a spreadsheet type metric, this way it’s a little easier to see the data on certain hunts altogether.

#

First 20 hours in the game, I heard someone who played for 300 hours say he didn't get a single diamond Is it really that hard or is he unlucky?

orchid granite
#

unlucky

pliant oak
#

people are different. some people have played classic which helps understand the game more than someone who hasnt. some people just pick things up easier. notice things quicker. lots of reasons

#

but some people dont get trophy animals at the start and tbh i alway tell new people not too rush out and try and get diamonds as that will often lead to dissapointment.

#

just have fun for a start level up get some money and when you ready then start to play at a more indepth level.

im back to rancho for my grind spotted a level 3 earlier think it maybe a troll. get him on the next run after unlocking cuatro colinas. went back to layton and rancho is just so much more fun to hunt whitetail. so went back.

@patent ermine how was your deer laying down on the ground to die? mine dont do that, they usually just stand around or run until they die

spotted a level 2 albino just now. been a while. 😁

welp I think I found most of my missing bucks. Lot more at that little northeastern lake then I remember.

pliant oak
#

some zones if hard to hunt dont shoot anything

#

since back on rancho i just speed hunting killing as many as fast as possible. thing is killed plenty quick but by not managing my zones ive ended up with loads of zones for whitetail on the hardest lake to hunt šŸ˜‚

pliant oak
fast ridge
#

I've checked all but two of them at this point

#

probably going to be walking around that big southern lake at some point

#

specifically the lower one in the "El Potrero" area

pliant oak
#

bottom 3 are pointless

#

dont miss the bottom left one

#

i currently got 4 groups there

fast ridge
#

Mushroom lake? Tiny group of three with only one buck.

#

did get my diamond bobcat there though

#

ironically the same color that trolled me.

#

only reason I'm going to be checking that lake is because there's apparently a decent amount of them that use the same travel path to cross a road heading to their rest zones after drink time's over. I've got a nice little ambush spot set up.

pliant oak
#

those lakes with whitetail

fast ridge
#

Yep I've looked at all but two of them.

#

I do not like that big northern one.

pliant oak
#

the one at 12 oclock

#

thats a really good whitetail lake

#

hardest to hunt is the bottom big one middle bottom left

#

thats the one i kinda screwed up on latest grind

#

lots of whitetail swapped to the far left of it now

#

will just slaughter them all see how it goes

fast ridge
#

if by that you mean the one that has the little hook-shaped peninsula on the left side, I don't consider it that bad

pliant oak
#

i suppose on your set up will make a big difference

fast ridge
#

I've got two layout blinds on the hook that have a good view of two different drink zones, with the zones being far enough for me to be able to FT there without a problem

pliant oak
#

i noticed today on one of my lakes i fast travelled to a tent where a spawn has just come and the zone wasnt visible from it. went to another tent same lake looked across and albino sitting there 😁

fast ridge
#

I haven't found a rare yet.

#

discovered an initial-spawn diamond that had been in a corner of the Australia-shaped lake, but no rares

pliant oak
#

yeah often you will start out with a diamond or potential diamond

#

its nice when you get in full grind and you get 2 or 3 diamonds feels nice

velvet bough
fast ridge
#

O?

#

Yeah I have mine setup a specific way to where it's really easy

Same with the other brushy lakes

i just also shot me an albino too but it was small fence rack

Ok then I will probably go back to picking them up bc leaving em has me at 3.5k kills without another GO

pliant oak
#

it doesnt matter if you collect them or not

half sedge
pliant oak
#

if the game is shut down dead animals on the floor on restart will respawn as different animals

#

this changed a while ago

#

think it was introduced to stop people just shooting bad shots then closing game and then finding same animal again

#

then shooting it correctly to get full trophy status.

#

this also makes it so if you mess up your shot its gone ! so take your time

#

Oh that’s good

I actually did get a few rares and diamonds at the same rate I normally would from not picking up a single deer and resetting game after visiting all zones

I've been grinding whitetail on rancho and been getting incredibly lucky with rares. I have 2 melanistic bucks and a piebald doe after 464 kills. But, I still don't have any diamonds after that amount of kills. I shoot most of my deer with the 300 to get them down. Will that make my response worse or something, or is it just bad luck?

bad luck

rancho you can get away with just slaughtering whitetail.

#

layton i use two bucks community method rancho i just shoot whatever males i see

#

the reason for this is they go round the same lakes and will still spawn around them

limber current
#

Ok thank you

#

Does it have to be all or can I pick a few

pliant oak
#

you can just do the same on rancho

#

most people do i dont

#

there isnt one right way

#

just do what works for you

tame solar
#

Reached 9k without a great one

neon cedar
#

I want to start a grind for the GO on rancho, other than keeping zones alive and killing males for respawns, what else needs to be done

tame solar
#

Kill doe at good lakes and bucks at bad lakes and then there will be more buck at your good lakes and doe at your bad lakes

#

I technically only hunt 3 lakes since the other lakes I made them have a ton of doe

#

Also don't get your good herds down to a single deer or else they won't respawn

#

But if there's 5 deer try to shoot 3 of them

#

Just to be more efficient

neon cedar
#

more than 3 kills the zone without a stand right

tame solar
#

Herd*

#

Some spots that have like 8-10 deer In a spot a lot of times are actually 2 different herds

pliant oak
#

some people balance this lake to lake. i personally go hunt elsewhere slaughter everything then return at a new day start to the whitetail lakes

#

rancho is good for this as many areas can hold lots of herds of animals.

#

top right corner has probably 50 -100 mule deer. bottom mountain areas probably has 50 -100 other mixture of animals.

#

so imagine your 7 or 8 lakes for whitetail have hunting pressure on.

#

you go to one or both of those locations and slaughter whatever you see.

#

then go back to your whitetail lakes the next day. they will be totally clear of hunting pressure. so its like a fresh start.

neon cedar
#

do you forward time yourself or let it naturally get back whatever time for your zones

pliant oak
#

in a run i will start from 9am

#

end at about 11 30

#

then change the time to 9am

#

close game

#

then launch it again

#

start next run

neon cedar
#

Okay sweet

#

But only do that once you clear the pressure of the spots you're wanting to go to pretty much

pliant oak
#

im about 1000 in on 6th great one grind at moment

#

yeah i clear the whole hunting pressure on my whitetail hunting lakes

#

before doing next run

neon cedar
#

okay

pliant oak
#

you dont have to do that

#

its just my way of doing it

#

no one method is the best only what works for you

neon cedar
#

appreciate the help

#

I can have someone help me spot out as much WT drink zones as a mp map and after switch it back to singleplayer yeah

#

Or do I solely have to do it myself on singleplayer

pliant oak
#

best really to do it in single player

#

also rancho isnt bad for zones

#

its pretty easy to get them

neon cedar
#

okay and yeah I've noticed

pliant oak
#

hold up let me just edit that

#

those lakes are what you check

neon cedar

Yeah I already hunt 3 of those normally so

50+ diamonds in and 4 go’s

#

Still my fav kill

velvet bough
waxen helm
#

At least you have 2. Many have grinded even longer and have 0. So.....

#

And wouldnt an actual "troll" be a level 3 that didnt make diamond by fractions or a few points? Why do level 2s be considered trolls????

pliant oak
#

cause some are very close to diamond

plucky spade
#

Ya I think I’m around 75-80 diamonds in but sadly I didn’t take the grind seriously at first until I got a go Bc I didn’t think I was doing it right so all of my stats are screwed. So I generally downgrade to 50 just in case lol

cosmic haven
#

Does anyone have tips on how yo get fast money

waxen helm
tight geyser
#

A max level animal that scored gold

waxen helm
#

I'm just confused. WHite tail go to level 3. So not sure why a level 2 is a troll?

tight geyser
#

A level 2 is not a troll

waxen helm
#

Right but a level 2 isnt a max level animal as far as white tailed go??

tight geyser
#

Yes

waxen helm
#

Thats what I'm asking. People keep saying they got a level 2 troll. I'm just wondering why its a troll when level 3 is cinsidered max level rather than just a level 2

tight geyser
#

Yeah they probably mean it’s score estimate was on diamond range and it didn’t make the cut

waxen helm
# tight geyser Yes

I agree as far as I understand the game so not sure why people coumt level 2s as trolls when theyre not even max level

tight geyser
#

But it’s an incorrect usage of ā€œtrollā€

#

Yes

#

For example, I just shot a troll black tail today

pliant oak
#

well you get a lot of 2s that make diamond on rancho

waxen helm
tight geyser
#

It was a level 5 and didn’t make diamond

pliant oak
#

so sometimes high est you like its a diamond

fast ridge
#

Honorary trolls honestly do happen sometimes

#

This monstrosity, for example.

waxen helm
fast ridge
#

249-290 estimate, dang thing scored 250.2

tight geyser
#

I might call that a troll but it’s still not really a troll

#

I’ve had a few like that as well

fast ridge
#

hence, honorary.

tight geyser
#

Yes

waxen helm
# pliant oak so sometimes high est you like its a diamond

I think isnt highest level animals,like level 3 White tails in this example that dont make diamond are concidered a true troll? Or is it if any animal that has an "estimate" that reaches even 1 point over minimum is just a troll them??

#

IDK. Ive always been told trolls are only max level animals that dont make diamond. Like camper was saying. IDK seems like so many terms here thats just a user's interpretation of the game???

pliant oak
#

its basically down to a interpretation of the word troll

#

if you grind a lot you get many two diamonds on rancho

#

you become familiar with what two diamonds are

#

so if it dont make it its like a troll

waxen helm
#

If that the case ive got at least 100 trolls on my hunt for go

#

Ive never thought of a level 2 not making diamond as trolls. Thought just a level 3 that didnt make diamond was trolls

#

So really anything over level 1 that doeant make diamond is trolls??

rigid forge
#

however, "honorary" trolls exist, like level 2 whitetail with a REALLY high minimum estimate that score just under diamond (these aren't technically trolls, hence the term "honorary")

#

there's also things called "guaranteed trolls" where the upper estimate is below diamond.

#

like this mo'fo

#

(reindeer diamond is 430.8, for reference)

velvet bough

or if the estimate was insanely high for a level 2

whitetail specificially i mean

#

anyways i gotta go to bed i wish i had more time to grind and stuff again but ive been working

so if i accidently deleted a drink zone, will it ever come back or

fast ridge
#

It will, but likely in a different spot nearby

neon cedar
#

oof i guess i'll find out soon

waxen helm
# rigid forge it has to be level 3 to be a troll

But whats this "you get many 2 diamonds on rancho" as ronMctube says??? Whats this dpuble duce diamomd thing he speaks of? Honorary troll??? What the check is that??? Now we have trolls and honorary trolls??? I'm so confused. What are all these classifications of trolls?? Why doesnt EW have explanations for all these things so we can understand?????

fast ridge
#

"Troll" is a community-formed term.

rigid forge
#

correct

waxen helm
#

What a honorary troll????

fast ridge
#

This guy, for example.

rigid forge
#

honorary troll is a 1-below max level that has a very high estimate for its level, with the lower end of the estimate being just below diamond, but doesnt make diamond

fast ridge
#

Estimate was 249-290. For context, whitetail make diamond at 255.

#

he scored 250.2

waxen helm
#

Ugh. Too many complications. So we have trolls,honorary trolls,diamonds and GOs. What the HECK is what??? Lol

rigid forge
#

this is a diamond

#

basically, he had a trophy rating high enough to score diamond

#

a great one is a special kind of whitetail deer with a higher max weight and a pretty insane rack

#

a troll is a max level animal that does not make diamond, like this guy

#

an "honorary troll" is not really strictly defined.

plucky spade

Rares are as...rare, as ever for me.

#

it all boils down to RNG.

waxen helm
#

Seems to be a common thing now. Everybody who posts their counts have 3-4 times the rares to diamonds.

rigid forge
#

rares tend to be rarer than diamonds

waxen helm
#

They used to be. Not for them white tailed deers

rigid forge
#

well to be fair, tons of people hunt whitetail

fast ridge
#

When I did my grind, I had one diamond, and zilch rares.

rigid forge
#

and you do see lots of piebalds, not as many albinos or melanistics

waxen helm
#

Yep id agreed to that. After update got 2 BENOS to every piebald thingy. Have I mela and 1 diamond. Thats with 450 deers killed.

rigid forge
#

and of course, my favorite saying in this server: YPMV
Your Population May Vary

waxen helm
#

Yep. But they def changed something or maybe it was accidental but me always had it opposite where diamomds where way easier than rare furs

fast ridge
#

Again, RNG

waxen helm
#

I'd have 3-4 277+ diamonds to 1 rare fur. Now raries arent rare but more common compared to diamonds

fast ridge
#

it's different for everyone

waxen helm
#

It is. Bit we see posts all da time of more rares to diamonds. Can't be coincidence I think.its called

#

More a pattern. Which shows things changed

velvet bough
#

mine show up every 300-500 kills, my diamonds every 100-250 kills and ive had the same consistency for the pask 11.5k kills

Youre like the white tailed dears god from what I seen you post. Not going to question what U say. U and Ron are the gods of deers of yous guys say I'm wrong then it is

#

I do plays console. IDK if that make a difference. I think you 2 play the pc??

fast ridge
#

There's fundamentally no difference between PC and Console.

waxen helm
#

No wes play the same game. I played my brothers game which is on a pc thing. It way different from when we ays my console. I dont thinks it true.

#

Play**

fast ridge
#

Correction, there is a difference. Much harder for console players to hack the game.

#

Otherwise, it's the same exact game no matter the console. There is no difference aside from your own RNG luck.

waxen helm
#

Hacks? No I dont hacks. My brother no hacks. We just play. I domt agree. The m1 thing is junk on console bit moneys on pc. I can kills 5 deers on his pc and maybe 2, 3 if we're lucky on me console.

#

Many other differemt things too compared to the differences.
