oh lol
You’d know about it my dude
well you certainly will be getting yours before i ever get mine lol considering your 5 great one whitetail
Mel what are u at currently
I kid you not I feel like I can hear red stags roaring and it’s all in my head
Like 2k
and the fact i have a full time job and cant grind all day
You guys that are counting your harvest, are you doing it manually, or is there a metric ingame?
i wish i coul
You won’t hear their warning calls at least 
could*
I use a phone app
Manually with a phone clicker
I go from my harvest number before and after
If i don't get it over Thanksgiving break I'm not gonna get it at all😂
Realistically I gotta get it before the new map bc gators are life
And I’ll be hunting them so much
I see, thanks!
Rare gators are gonna be so fun
Yessss
Big need
I absolutely need an albino gator please
Piebald gators look so good
Omg yes
Finally playing for the night!
I hope this isn't a sign of how tonight's going to go...
The Deer: they won’t catch me, they’ll never catch me
The Hunter: I'll shoot you in the ear 'till you die from it
Curses, again! I need to stop aiming for center
Welp it’s now like 2 am so imma resume again first thing 👀👌
I hate this
Have a good night!
Cheers! Maybe tomorrow will be the day!
Dang, another troll in my future
On the upside, another level 9 to potentially respawn into something good!
Okay
I am having a bug where when I scare off a group of red deer they will flee and start drinking at the edge of the map
This happens with the top most lake
Anyone else experience this?
Is that a bug? Often times when you scare off a herd, they'll drink further away from their zone... that lake just happens to be pretty close to the edge of the map
Or do you mean like a LONG ways away from the lake?
I don’t know that seems farther than they usually go
It’s like their AI can be attracted to it if they don’t come back. They will stop right at the border of the map or the border of the reserve territory
2nd is popin
bruh
why u guys so lucky lol
your luck is the luck i need with my full time job
but im given 7s 8s and a few lv9s here and there for eternity because i have no time to grind
same with wt its been 4,500 since my last one
Partially luck, more than likely just killing a LOT of reds
I'm sitting here with zero rares to my name
I'm at 350 stags with no rares, so I think you're doing ok
ive killed almost 1k stags so far with 4 diamonds and 1 rare
no u dont if u got 2 great ones to spawn
seriously?
yea
I'm getting some WILD racks though
if i didnt have to work i wouldve been killing alot more and maybe even got one by now
but like i need to get one for reasons other than just wanting to get one.
?
i can say that its not just for me i will leave it at that
Yeah, you lost me
well i cant say why. but the longer i go without one the less important it will be
Lucky mfs😂
yea they really have no idea
U know lt better than I do
lol well u got an uneven rack great one without trying
I got another troll😫
I would say congrats but I'm salty
thanks hopefully all you guys have some lucky too
I'll get there eventually, it takes luck and time, no reason not to enjoy it!
go grind and get it😂
I'm praying on ur downfall😂
i dont have the time lol
i need it soon
I've grinded more than u 😑
so does scarecrow
same
You keep saying that, but won't explain why, so I still don't know what that means.
I'm at 1624 kills man
maybe because im so hard on grind WT GO lol
That's where the luck comes in, let them enjoy their trophy!
i hope ASAP you get it and ill wait your video
And if we talk about wt I'm 3.7k without a second one
hope youll get it this week
I'm just tranna make content 😩
better watch self promo detectors gonna roll in here
tru tru
but last time i did what you did i got yelled at my nedbella
What?
they need to do what all the other groups do and have their own places to share content
Yea would be good with like a mini cc role
Im done for today and grind it again tomorrow for another rack
Them wall plaques don't do justice I wish there was a multi with 3 red deer
bruh, two GOs already?
Red deer huddle would be awesome
Which one scored more
Or a special GO huddle for one of each GO species
yeahh thats would be great for GO huddle
omg, this!
put some berrys on the fallow deer and make it the next GO, then make a GO huddle 😆
Well i have officially broke 3000 kills so far and not a sign of the great one at all. Starting to think this thing will take weeks to get 😭
I believe in you let us all give you a bit of our luck lol.
have the lynx luck
I just calculated it and its been almost 9 days since release so thats an average of around 350-370 red deer per day
Lol that lynx tho
That's a lot of kills
Yea for real, been putting in 7-10 hours a day
It only took me 210 to get my first GO white tail
Thats pretty lucky
My first great one whitetail was at like 3700 lol
But only 500 of those were on rancho
Rest were from before they got fixed
Jeez lol I'm currently trying to get my second now I wanna try and get him with a bow
Its a crazy rush using the bow
I bet I hardly use it too just got to the three pin sight
I grinded Layton a lot for whitetail and did not get a GO. Then on rancho I got 3 GOs in less than a thousand kills. Grinded the same way, kill everything, almost never harvested but quit the game instead. I believe some maps (populations) are just more predisposed to a certain species and that's it. You can call it 'methods' or whatever, in the end some people got maps which spawn more juice in that species than other.
Yea I could see that
First run of the day, first lake first legendary
Time to test the .243 soft points on him
😳
I need the challenge lol
She’s gone crazy
Yup
She’s gone criminally insane
now the Great One with it 😆
That’s the plan
I want to get mine with the muzzleloader
That’s definitely a good choice
but so far only 2 legendaries at the start some days ago and a moment ago a 6 piebald
That’s awesome!
Look how cute 😄
I like how wrong that guy is 😄
All my whitetail and red deer rares are piebald, it’s like albino and melanstic had disappeared
I had an albino and piebald whitetail but that was when their furs were broken so they reverted
And half of my diamonds turned into rares so I had to delete them
Oof, Maybe you could put them in another lodge
Nah, I just got rid of them completely
In my old save, I had a lot of albino and melanistic, piebald as well. But now all I get is piebald lol
Although I will place the others into their own lodge so my grinding lodges are separated
my RNG is weird
I place them all in one lodge, cause I don’t have many trophies rn
@pliant oak Finally getting down to watching your GO video and I am giggling at the “oh no, what are you doing”
ive just been back there i need to go and do full payback ! 😁
You should, those wolves were very rude
PHHHT
I got one before I even got a diamond or a different rare on the grind. Still haven’t gotten a diamond or any other rares. It was a good and my first rare red deer. Also it was my favorite piebald pattern for them too
I got a tiny melanistic, no diamonds still at 253 harvests
Got a troll though 
it took me hundreds of hours to get my first diamond...then got 5 in one day on different maps. they will come eventually 🙂
It's funny how differently it plays out for everyone! I'm at 390 harvests, have gotten 3 diamond and 2 trolls... But not a single pie, albino, or mela yet!
about same in the kills, 2 albinos ( 1 is a lvl 7 stag ) 1 piebald, no melas, 1 troll
im about 20 behind
Wow, I'm jelly! I want a rare so badly 😅
I guess we just want the thing we haven't gotten yet, whatever that is!
Did you post the level 7 albino? I'd love to see that!
I still havent found any rare fur types
not sure in this discord
know its somewhere in crows
1 se
c
yea
cant find it
Aww, shame, I love the 7 racks, I'd love to see it on albino!
Well no GO but a bonus guaranteed diamond roe just popped up
Hey congrats! I had that happen last night! It was my first roe diamond 😄
I got a diamond duck last night 3rd diamond ever
Congrats!
Thxs I've gotten a diamond everyday so far
posted it in #🦌︴trophies
sadly its not like my old 1 on my old acc
its uneven
tho my old 1 had the even cool rack
I just saw that! Yeah, I like both of his antlers, but the even racks are nice.
i had the bigger part of it on my old 1
i also had a lvl 6 mela on that
sadly lost it
also sad we dont have a stag jousting mount
imagine a mela and an albino in a joust
I’d love a mount of two stags like that
I want the huddle but for reds
How about both
yes
I just want so many more multimounts 😄
lol ya
not more, customisation in them
for example huddle but you can choose the deer species
or the puma elk hunt but you can swap out the RM/Roose for a red
Sure, that works, too.... but also more options than what we have as well
I love this rack so much and it can't score even near a diamond, it's so wrong
Yeah, it's a really cool one... It's kinda nice knowing for sure that it's going to troll, though... you don't get your hopes up as much 😄
I've seen that rack enough times in here that I recognized it on sight a while back
Honestly, I consider acquiring a troll-rack red a rite of passage here 😆 Everyone sees it at some point
Yeah, it's pretty distinct compared to the other racks
The crab claw hands
Bruh how what map
how the h eck
Brooo I’m so jealous
Me too lmao don't worry
I wish I didn't have to work
seriously in between all the huge racks :X
i feel like i am getting albino axis
😄
Oh my god, 3 of them??? Even with small racks, they're so cool
The Tweedle Three
ill trade them for 1 big 7 😄
I'd be happy with any one of them 😉
Goodness, with as many as you've shot, that's extra surprising
No pies, albinos, or diamonds
I'm sad I haven't gotten a rare at all yet, but I'm only 390 into it
Still plenty of time then
maybe i shouldn't whine then 😄
Oh yeah, Imma keep plugging away
Haha, lay it on us, how lucky are you? How many have you shot?
I reckon I gotta kill 6k at least before one shows up for me lmao idk why it just feels like it’s a long one
Woah!
Dang, do you know your total?
around 2k i think, maybe a little under
Ok, whew that's a reasonable amount
If you said like 500 I was going to flip a table 😉
(although that really highlights how unlucky mel's been lol)
well ive been super unlucky with the whitetail grind, I guess the game compensates
And I thought getting diamond whitetails take a while to get
They are nothing compared to reds haha
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be 😄
Well hello, there first stag I spot on my lunch break
Not too huge, he ended up 253.4, but I'll take him!
You are a lucky one
ive yet to get my first diamond
I am getting very lucky with diamonds, for sure. rares, not so much!
Same lol
diamond hunting until we all get a diamond would be cool
yeah
when you see them 7s side on such trolls 😁
even when you seen a 1000 of em
get you every time
Haha, yeah... that hope is strong
Yup
Can anyone shed some light into why the thicker rack, with longer, thicker and curved tips, is mythical, and the weak one is a diamond?
Did you look at the Truscore?
no, I never do so it wouldn't mean much to me
It breaks down where the points come from, so you could see the difference between those two racks. It doesn't really matter exactly what the numbers mean, but you can compare the two pretty easily
depends, atleast 10+ in my run but usually 15-30
I do around 50-60 a day if I can get a solid couple hours of game play... I'm busy tonight, so I got 10 now during my lunch break and that might be it for the day. Other people are managing 2-3 hundred a day and are playing a lot longer
per run
like 15 is the max per run
but i usually do 2-3 runs cause i overran myself
I mean I play usually 8 hours a day so idk
dont you have a life 😭
I go to school from 7:30-1:28
I do ~5h a day and the other day I made a list of what I got on a couple of runs, so it's about a buck a minute without harvesting (now I started harvesting cause money got low lol), please ignore the names of the locations 😄
Dont worry on weekends its probably only 10-14 hours
ONLY???
It sounds like more then it actually is
Only 😂😭
I have a rare nothing weekend, so I'll be able to play a lot more... but I still have responsibilities, so I'll manage around 6 hours a day maybe
I have no friends to hangout with and I'm very anti-social so Gaming is the only thing I do
Same tho lol
Fair enough
Felt that
Yeeep
Just found a big rack legendary
Smoke it
I should check how much time I have in COTW rn
That’ll be diamond 2 today
Lol probably a lot
I've only had the game for about 2-3 weeks but I've put 17 hours in this week
Dang
wistfully thinking back to her days of willful unemployment
Same I’m getting close to 100
If only I'd found this game back then
Nice I got my first GO white tail a little to quick I want the real grind now lol
Haha, not the complaint most people have 😉
Ikr mine was only 210 kills so was a little fast
I dont have any dlc other than blood hound and I dont use it hunt for rare stuff on other maps has to be in multiplayer
But then I feel bad for the host bc I took it from them
Eh, don't. They know what the risk is hosting MP
^
Some do but most probably dont
If it’s in multi it’s fair game
I play for about 8 hours but that’s because I have no life and don’t like going out
Yea multi is a little odd sometimes I only do multi with my friends lol
If they know that little about the game, they won't know what they lost 😉
Yeah
I never host multi
I'll always be on someone elses
Yea I've been trying to get my friend a diamond cause he's pretty knew but every time I host it's different deer it's like I opened a fresh world
I don't go on other peoples' maps because I don't trust them to not be hacking/using mods and I don't host my own map because I'm paranoid about losing something good 😄
That shouldn't happen. Hosting MP doesn't change your animal pops
Idk it's different herds of my white tail between my MP and single
I'm on xbox so the hacking thing I'm probably clear from
Nope
I've only seen people doing money glitches so far
In a day I mange a decent 80 maybe more if I stay up rlly late
I could've swore that glitch was patched out
You can still hack on any platform, it’s just more difficult on console
Wow the stag was 266.40 . Taken with soft point 243 at 28 meters
Apparently not bc I still hear people talking about doing it
Diamond no 14!
You monster 😄
😑
Yeah ik that
I have 5 mins left then I can rush home and start my grind for the day
I wish you many diamonds and rares
Lol wanna vc well you play?
Gotta get my practice in lol
You gonna take that GO with .243 soft point?
I never get rares and I usually will get one diamond a day
Indeed
I took one of my WT that way
That's why I'm wishing you many
But a stag is gonna be even cooler imo
I need all the luck I can get lol
Earlier I got another troll level 3 whitetail
Hmmm, wonder if I should start carrying my muzzleloader with me so I can take the GO with that...
Yknow what i might need to bring out my diamond only gun again maybe it’ll bring some luck
Pls do lol
But these couple diamonds have just proved to me the .243 is what I’m gonna use
It’s impressive compared to what I expected
How quick do they go down?
That's not bad at all!
It really doesn’t do bad
Not what I'd use for normal grinding, but cool for trophies!
Exactly
Red deer should be class 7
on te awro where can I find reds?
At lakes and rivers
yeah but it’s like not all of them have deer
I do
You can find maps on google that show where red deer are
Wot
Jeez
Why is everyone else’s luck so much better than mine?
Idk
Bro gimme your luck
Also he’s wider than any stag I’ve ever seen
Ss?
One sec
Possibly cuz they are no-lifeing the game
And I’m not? Lol
Who knows
I believe in you Matt
Finally
Damn, son
How much you play per day?
Ah
Saturday I was on for I think like 15 hours I about puked
nevermind then.
I play at least 14 a day
Good lord
Lol
Hey Mel, where's that screenshot!
Y'all see scarecrows video?
Yes
Don't think so
The video is new
Nice!
Spoiler alert
XD
OH JEEZ
Jeez nice stag
Das a beeg male
Wow!
I’m super happy
2 big rack legendary in the same run, one being him
I’m on the right track surely
That's insane
Scarecrow got his GO
Just finished the video lol
I hope the new map has whitetail I’m tired of Layton and rancho
Lol idk maybe
Chances are good from what we've seen, I'd say!
We’ve seen an alligator.
Maybe you are tired of whitetail in general
If you hunt the new map (providing they do have whitetail) you’ll burn out on it too
I’m really tired of my whitetail moving to different zones that are harder to use
That’s really what’s getting me
Nice
Not bad
Congrats!
Thanks!!
congrats
Uh
Guys
I just found another legendary
Small rack but what are my spawns rn?!
No way
Ok confirmed Mel is hacking 100%
Yup XD
Get him bro
No
Please let it happen lol
downer
If only XD
Rancho please just give me my GO already
You will I believe
Yeah in like 2 months
make sure you check all your areas on rancho some are in hard to see spots
This stag is not being compliant
Mel do you have a YouTube?
Yes
Make a complaint (aka kill him)
I’m not allowed to answer that here or I’ll get smoked 🙈
Oh I’m gonna
They will smoke anyone who gives a vague answer on that one
Huh odd ig lol but they have there reasons
Prob something to do with how they have their own official community creators
just walked in the way
Woah congratulations
i have the clip too
By the time I get one people are gonna be like oh another one of these? I remember when those came out lol
Same
Don't share it if it's a yt link or you will get shmoked by a mod
XD nah y'all will get one soon
I don't wanna hear it u had 3 before I had one lol
Wt GO I mean
I might not be lucky this time tho
Ur luck is insane rn
It’s certainly promising
I need your luck severely
I don’t like to tempt fate lol
I hope y'all get one
Thank you 🙏
If you can leave it on
I wouldn't do that considering there's nothing confiming you have to leave the system on. It's very extensive on your hardware leaving a game run that long
I guess
just 30 more minutes to go fast through the hot 3-4 spots 🙂
I get heaters no matter what whether I shut it off or not for whitetail idk about red deer tho
That's what I tell myself
and then it's 3 am? 😄
Haha, maybe over the weekend, I have a hard cutoff at 11pm weekdays because responsibilities
Lmao im 5 kills into the GO grind now
I am 120 ish into my second white tail grind
college is every day, GO is not 😄
Ive only been going for like 20 mins finding drink zones- still trying to set up for red deer haha
If thats Te Awa then yeah
My highest scoring out of 5 has been 215 so not too bad
Imagine haha. I would rather someone else get an initial spawn bc i don't play the game too much so they'd prob deserve/appreciate it more
I mean i would still love one tho haha
Nah everyone deserves something like that if they are working for it
Is there any more dz on this part of the river?
Depends
yes that one is hot, you can see more than 5 there often
and the two lakes right above it are goldmine, pukemaero
Wait is the spot where the hunting p is?
yes that is hot
alr ill go look
Also anyone know how much money ill be needing for tents etc?
why is that? (im new to grinding for GOs)
if you want to check a quick video, scarecrow has one on youtube explaining what he hunts. even only the first 3min of the video are enough to get you going fast 🙂
ok thanks so far ive been using ladylegend but very slow paced video
he starts by showing the zones on the map and I already had almost the same setup, so you don't need to watch a lot, if you don't want to. or can listen in background through the rest 🙂
kk il go see thank u
is that just now?
oh nice
Is that a guaranteed diamond?
Ah, aside from the troll rack, I'm not super familiar with them
You overestimate me
it's not always guaranteed 🙂
Guys why when i try to tp to outpost does it take me to my tent?
I've had 7 trolls in this run already 😄
which map?
te awa
I've only had two, but both were the guaranteed troll rack, so I saw it coming
known issue for some outposts, not sure about the full extent of the issue tho
oh right
I have the same scoring 251.2 😄
You got this 😄
8 trolls now
wow, did you shoot him already?
Sounds like a personal problem
Ok, good
lol i just got 2 legendaries next to each other, one was troll and the one behind the bush ran away 😄
Nice
Uhh, definitely can't be mad, that's great luck!
Nice
these god damn wolfs...
Oh shit i think i just deleted a drink zone 😭
You wouldn't be the first
Done that
haha Im still not happy with myself- i killed two in a row and didnt realise there was already pressure
Ah yeah, that'll do it.
Shouldn’t be shooting yet
There are areas I don't use tripods because either: it's not worth it because there's usually only one male there or the zone is amidst the trees and I usually can't get a clean shot from one place
yeah ik but temptation got the better of me ha
Eh, I shot stags while I was setting up, nothing wrong with it (aside from deleting zones, lol)
idek if there was a zone im just assuming as there was 2 stags
Were they drinking?
Oh wait no the zone isnt gone.
Its on the very edge of the pressure lol
So i caused all this for nothing hah
yes it does indeed
Is it just me or are ppl still having deer go invisible after leaving render
I had it happen once with a lion a while back, but no issues recently
Hm it isn't to often it's happening maybe 1 in 10 deer tho
That's pretty often... I guess I don't have animals go out of render too often, but the times I've had it happen since I started grinding, I found them just fine
Hm ok
Ah ok that makes more since
That tracks with the one time it happened to me... chased a lion a really far way away, then FT back to the lake I'd shot two more at
Good night!
thank you, good night
I've got like an hour to play before I have company over, think I can manage a rare in that time? (say yes for my sanity)
100%
this is how the grind has been treating me 3 trolls and one diamond (diamond not pictured)
Ooof
Dang
Big oof
Ima try to noscope this diamond red
nice
Was gonna noscope him but gave up
Thank you 🙂
no problem lol its a wonky rare
My rares tend to be on the wonky side it seems
I like the weird ones tbh
So no GO today but good progress and I’m thrilled with finally getting my dream 270 diamond stag! Onwards to tomorrow!
Very pretty piebald @plain raptor
Done for the night. Total's up to 454... still no rare. One of these days!
The best one I've seen was a 7, but there's another red I haven't seen yet but he's roaring nearby so I didn't wanna risk scaring off a GO (though he probably isn't one lol)
The amount of painfully bad reds on Te Awaroa for me is making me sad
Is it possible, that EW reduce the amount of bigger level Red deer? After the Update i often see lvl 4,5 and 6. Before there was Lots of 7 and 8
Maybe. I've only seen like one 7 so far
It’s just RNG. I get several level 7s on my runs and even gotten a couple of mythicals as well
what means RNG? (im german lol)
Random Number Generater
It basically means the animals that respawn are random
You could get a level 7 or a level 3
It’s why some people get their GOs at different kills - it’s all based on RNG
Just found my first albino of the grind
GG
Little lvl 6 stag
I killed just a couple last night. I am usually too tired from work to do any hardcore grinding but I am happy about my pie
Congrats!
Thanks!
Oh wow, I'm so jealous!
I feel this, I think I get 10-15 on days I work, if I push hard 😂

If it died, it will respawn as something else
I didnt harvest it
Doesn't matter
Ok
yeah once its dead its gone
It used to be it would be there if you didn’t harvest it but people were abusing it in order to get second chances
A few months earlier and you would have been able to try again
I've definitely been playing this game too much. The other night I had a dream I found a mini GO red deer and last night I had a dream that I found a GO Roe deer and EW had released it secretly at the same time as the red deer and I just happened to be the first to get it.
Diamond roe deer are a pain to get. I couldn’t imagine a roe GO
Would I still grind for it? Absolutely 😄
No kidding! I'm guessing it triggered because I've been low-key hunting roe alongside reds and I got my diamond two days ago
The first non-herding GO they release is going to be a pain to get 😄
I can’t wait for a GO fox or coyote
I'm definitely interested in seeing what they'll do for a non-antlered GO
Probably a different fur variant
like, burrs stuck in its fur or blood on its face or something probably
or maybe it could be carrying a smaller dead animal in its jaws :0
I would hope for a new model like they did with Red Deer, something to make it extra unique, its own fur variant and maybe something to make it stand out like scars.
Yeah, make it seem like a grizzled old animal that's won a bunch of fights... works for pretty much any predator
yep
Yea Tks mentioned scars on a grizzly bear since the start. Guessing that'll happen at some point
hopefully
Such a bear could be full on like Mor'du in the Disney movie Brave, with horrible scars, burns, and arrows sticking out of its back, as well as being really, really big and very pissed off https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cf/51/ed/cf51ed2f63e7ed726b3e5647bd3cec6e.gif
YES
Dreams aside, this is how I really wish they would release the new Great Ones: NO clues, not even the map(s) to look on, just that there is a new one and to go find it.
I can see the argument for that! There'd be less community hype, though, so not as good from a business perspective
Sadly the data miners would ruin the surprise anyway.
I get that of course. They could save it for when there is other new content and hype for that.
True
This didn't happen with the red deer, though... I guess it wasn't that long before one was found
I used to think it would be cool to add ONE bigfoot on one map and tell nobody at all
I can imagine all the "you're faking this" etc for the person that found it first
lmao
Devs show up and be like nope yeah we added that to the game like 3 years ago
To keep the data miners off the trail, it could be "mallard_5321". It would spawn only rarely, and hang out on the edges of the map where no one ever goes
I think if it had not spawned in dead, it would have taken longer
A banded duck/goose would be pretty cool.
I’m greedy. I’ll take any new addition to the game
I've said this before, but I think a Siberian tiger Great One on Medved would be amazing. It would spawn off a lynx, only very, very rarely leave tracks, have completely different need zone times, etc. (and these would not be visible to the player). When first sighted, or a track discovered, a "quest giver" would pop up and explain you are allowed to hunt it because it had killed some children (etc.) and therefore needed to be put down. For players who object to this (and there are some), they would have a tiger roaming their map, which is cool as well.
I would make it almost impossible to grind as well
Devs aren't going to put anything endangered in the game, and it's also very illegal to hunt tigers.
Yes, I know, but since Medved has missions given by the "government," there would be cases where officially a dangerous animal needed to be put down (not hunted); that would be the player's job.
And would also be extremely bad PR for the game.
No worse than lions, and not a regular animal in game anyhow.
Devs are trying to keep hunting in a good light with COTW. Killing an endangered animal that only has just about 600 adult individuals in the wild would do the opposite.
Lions are listed as Vulnerable by the way.
so it's not "no worse"
okay. I will agree to disagree that a series of pixels with an AI attached to them will somehow impact real tiger populations in Siberia
and again, devs have already veto'd endangered animals in the game.
Which I agree with, endangered animals shouldn’t be allowed in COTW. It’s just wrong to kill something in a game that’s suffering IRL
And the fact you want to hunt something endangered sickens me and makes me worry about the future of our species
It would be nice to have them in the game
Only because if they were, that means they weren’t endangered
That is true
Not to get into an argument about it... and I completely understand why EW won't add endangered species, but there is a HUGE difference between doing something in a video game and wanting to do something IRL. I would never hunt wolves in real life. I love them too much and even where their populations are stable, wouldn't be okay with doing it. But I will slaughter a wolf pack in this game 😄
But that’s because wolves in this game attack you when you’re having fun
I mean, yeah... but I will absolutely antagonize them to try and get them to attack me. I find it fun to fend off a whole wolf pack
My best strategy so far is that you have to sneak up as close as possible, then shoot one of them with a gun. That gets them to attack most of the time 😄
Unfortunately, not everyone, including critics, are able to separate game from reality.
Oh, I am not at all pushing for EW to go there. I 100% agree they shouldn't. I was arguing against the idea that someone wanting to hunt an endangered species in a video game is morally reprehensible.
@viral wren the luck didnt work I didnt get any diamonds last night
I didn't get any rares either D:
I got a cow last night on layton tho
hmm...... piebald moose?
Yea
No
Ah, I'd love to see it!
I probably cant see it again bc I dont have a lodge
found him
Ah, if you saved or taxed it, then you'll be able to see it if/when you get a lodge
Wow, congrats!
Idk when I'll be able but I record my gameplay so its saved somewhere
WTF u dont buy a lodge for that its worth it

That kids gonna get smoked for swearing
i learned from this grind that big males like to spawn close to your tent
I'm broke
just my opinion
Ok i understand
I mean I used to have the 2019 bundle for COTW that came with a lot but my acc got hacked and I lost everything I bought
Oh
Yeah and I'm not gonna be that person that goes to a higher up saying is there anyway that I can get that back bc there isnt much they can do
i do the exact same thing lol
@viral wren I checked how much time I have on the game and it's only at 3 days and 12 hours
wow
That's not too insane! 4 hours a day?
You've really only been here for 3 days or were you here before you had to restart?
Only 3 days
Huh, feels like it's been longer!
Yea
I had the game for awhile tho but my acc got hacked so I quit then recently began playing again but a lot
On the acc that got hacked I had the 2019 bundle so I lost that
Yeah, I saw that. Sucks, dude
Plus like $3000 of other game add-ons
I don't understand how all that works, but it feels like whatever platform you play on should be able to verify and return your content. But I dunno
Like if that happened to my Steam account, I'd be contacting them to restore my account
I contacted Microsoft and they were like oh there isnt any user with this name
And I used to play fortnite before that happened and they said the same thing
This seems more like a #🦝︴off-topic thing now
Srry😅 I got off topic from the game
my first diamond red deer
Very nice! Congrats
super weird one 😄
Neat!
Congrats!
Not sure how I feel about the go that was just posted in trophy gallery, 87 xp and the session score is lower than a diamond red deers
it's possible they had a low consec bonus
Fair enough I guess, just seems odd that it’s under 1000
under 1k just isnt full quick kill
300 meters with a sporter on a single lung im surprised it isnt no quick kill
I don’t speak German or whatever that is so I have no idea what it says lol
guys if i have a full doe zone do i shoot them or leave it?
Yes
Yes to shoot?
Up to you, if it's somewhere you regularly check, like on a lake with other herds, I'd shoot some in the hopes of stags spawning. But if it's on a lake you don't check as often, I'd leave them be
You might still get stags spawning into that herd, even if you don't shoot any, though
Alr ill shoot a few as i check this lake every reset nearly
How's the set up going?
its alr but i dont have enough money for tripods
you can carry them on you u know 🙂
They aren't necessary! Just don't kill more than 3 at each spot until you can set them up.
And yeah, you can also just carry one around, just make sure you don't place it too close and spook them
yeah but i just sometimes find it easier to tp to a tent with a tri next to it but i might start to carry one
alr thanks
hmmmmmmmm? 😆
I prefer keeping my suite of guns on me so I can kill other things while I hunt reds... but I'm not the most efficient grinder 😄
Whatchu looking at?
ye it is better ofc but since u dont have the money to leave them at the spots you can carry some with you 🙂
yeah ill start carrying one from now
Gotta love seeing the max weights turning up! Congratulations!
I’ve majorly slacked on the red deer today because I woke up with an awful headache so trying to make up some numbers now
Hello guys! Somebody have screenshot of their camp/tripod setup on colinas for red deer grinding(sorry for bad english)
your population may vary. set up your tents and tripods so that it's most efficient for you
^
your zones are gonna be in different areas compared to someone else, so their tent/tripod setup may be less-than-optimal for you
Okay can you help me how many meter i need to place my tents? I placed ~200 meter but i think its too close
i usually say 250m so you have a bit of wiggle room
Okay thank you
exact stats like my first ever diamond 😄
World record
dang
First max from the grind.. A good sign hopefully😂
Snap😂.. Ill race you to the great one💪
he's a beauty for sure
what would be the best map for grinding out red deer and what should the killing pattern be level wise
cuatro or te awoara
smoke em all probably
Nice!! Congrats @neon cedar !!! Glad you got it!
thanks man!
Thats probably my fav version. Its between that and the good looking one with drop tines. There's 2 versions with drop tines but one of the variations the drop tines look like nipples. I hate that one. The one I like seems to be super,super rare. But so happy ya got one. Im still grinding for 1.
I've seen 3 different racks from the 2 GOs I have
Yea the one you have is awesome!!! Absolutely love it!!! So happy for ya
Yeah I really love it, makes my week feel so worth it
I let this one raise his head instead of the last time
Indeed!! Hopefully 1 day I'll get 1. Ive been grinding for 1 since the very first day. 1 thing I'm happy about is back then when we said they were broken nobody from EW believed us. Seems now things have changed. The red GO has proven that. I wish it would have been like that with the WT GO so that so many of us didnt waste so much time chasing ghosts. So I guess props to Jaxy for listening to the actual players and not depending on EWs own dev builds I guess.
So props to you @jolly sapphire
I wasted a total year of my life believing what the EW reps said. Only to get a fake GO
Now I'm convinced the WT GO actually works and now I'm excited again.
Grinding for a GO
No like none of this is new info, whitetail GOs have worked since rancho came out, so where have you been the last… 3-4 months I think?
WT been working fine since GO release if you are talking about them actually spawning
there have been a few bugs related to overweight/level4/5 WT tho
And smaaaaall level 3s in some cases
yea
I know. Ive been watching to make sure they work before I waste my life away chasing a ghost. They seem to be working. Thats all I'm saying. And saying I'm.happy about it. Sorry I only have limited time to play.
Was just saying I'm happy. Geez
No reason to jump on me
I’m glad you are, just confused because they’ve been fixed for a few months and you now believe they work lol
Fine. Will just not comment.
No no no I’m not saying that
Was trying to say I'm happy when tjings are broken they actually listen to where before they kept saying no theres no problem. Dang
No I get that
Then why you jumping on me?
No reason to say where you Benn like I'm stupid.
Forget it.
But they figured out that they were bugged before rancho came out, rancho fixed them, but that was in August
It’s November
I think there's been a miscommunication and maybe we could just drop it
So I can get back to complaining about how I'm almost at 500 kills and I still haven't gotten a rare yet
I never said you were stupid, i never said anything remotely close to that
Whitetail or Red deer
Red deer!
Ah makes sense, I don’t have any either
Yea well when you say theyve been fixed for so long wjereve I been. But whatever. I'm not part of the "click" guess I shouldnt say I'm happy theyve changed or theyre doing a good job. Damn
If it was whitetail I’d be concerned for you
Maybe one day I'll go for a Whitetail GO, but for now I'm hooked on the "new" thing
I don’t get why he’s getting mad, I just asked where he’s been for the past few months and he got all defensive
Thats what this place is about. If people dont agree with what you say they make you feel stupid. Was just making a positive statement.
I didnt take it that way. But whatever.
I think this is a very silly argument and everyone will be much happier if we just move on
It is a silly argument
Yea my bad for being out and away for periods of time.
So I killed about four mythicals so far. I hope a legendary is a brewin’
Might be
😭 I just want everyone to get along 😭
Not with that attitude
I was positive. Then somebody acts like I'm stupid and what I'm saying is so old news.
Okay that's enough
Join the grind with us, then. A couple have already gotten the new GO
I'm grinding for WT GO.
I’m hoping to get whitetail GO #3 this week
#3
Good for you. Good luck
Yea the new version of Layton isnt much fun
i still need to find my first one
Ive only taken 1 break so far and that was just to get food
of any sooecies
I actually like it a lot, for normal hunting, but it's not good for grinding a specific species
I got my two before rancho and then rancho messed up my groove
too easy for ya? 😉
First one was about 1100 kills second was 3000
I agree. Its very beautiful. For WT grinding its not fun since WT could be over the entire map. I still love the map tho
Yeah Layton is gorgeous
Layton has that nostalgia/homey feel about it
Maybe because it was the first reserve I ever hunted on
I spent my first 100 hours only on Layton, definitely a lot of nostalgia
Kind of a cool shot
Yea its very foggy and rainy. I hope they give BT some love some day. They havent really gotten much attention and now days they have some really messed up antlers. Ive shot at least 4-5 level 4s with super tiny level 1 antlers
Wow! That is nice!!
Thanks!
I think those lvl 4 with tiny antlers are kinda funny, but I agree that BT could use some love
Yea they almost are treated like "space fillers" so to speak. Amd not many variations of antlers
I liked way back before the WT GO youd find WT and BT sharing the same zones. I once had aroumd 15 WT and 8-10 BT in the same zones. Now it seems all species are seperated and rarely in the same area together anymore 😭
I think I'm gonna set up a red deer grind later tomorrow
Very cool, what map?
Nice!
Forgetting to reload and trying to take two stags with 1 bullet left will be end of me
:eff:
No wonder I missed my shot on the mythical behind her.... that's a wild hitbox (the two follow up shots are because she froze and wouldn't die until I brain shot her)
Think that's my cue to be done for the night. 77 more kills isn't bad for a work day... still no rare 😄
im so sorry mel, i didnt expect too
but lets enjoy the grind😉
Cuatro colinas
No need to apologise!! I’m happy for you!!
first run of the day ... 4 stags in front of me i am on tripod... i hit 2 female and 1 male non vital that wont die... gotta love it
Welp first lake today has a troll at it
Oooh next lake has a big rack legendary!!!
Get em
Smol big rack 253.90
Oof
One step closer tho👌
Hopefully! That’s diamond 17 lol
I still disnt check my respawns from last night
I keep getting trolls🤣had nithing but 7 8s and 9 trolls
Lol thats rough
Killing stags does not really give me the feeling of getting "closer" for some reason 😭
@acoustic cedar How many kills do you have in total now?
Killing the big ones dont give u that feeling?
Not at all the run aftrt I get 3/4s in there place tbh 😂
Has there been anymore common great ones found other than the initial one?
It feels like that sometimes. Then some good respawns start showing up and it gets exciting.
Well I have been using the 300 more and more and shooting my 9s with it aswel there is only 1 trophy im after and it aint a diamond 😳
Hahaha! HECK yea. I'm on the same mission just a WT GO. Just kill,kill,kill!! The monster will show its face at some point.
Caught yesterday on live stream. Now let´s move on to the Red Deer... 😄
just shot my first legendary red deer of the day was big troll only 239 😁
Nice one! Congrats!
Thanks man!
I love that variation.
Pretty cool, isn´t it?
Indeed. Thats 1 of my 2 favorites.
About 2.5k
Averaging a diamond about every 147 kills give or take
Yup
Honestly I’m scared I’ll never find one but I keep going in hope
Thank you 🙏
Hey guys, how fast do animals respawn? Does the hunting pressure where i shot the animal has to be back at 0 for the animal to respawn?
1 - 4 days
but obviously zone needs to still be alive
ideally clear hunting pressure
close game
restart game
i normally do a run. then at end of it clear my hunting pressure. then fast forward one day. close game. restart game. then carry on next run
Alright guys, I can stop complaining about not getting a rare 😄
I got a little lvl 6 pie last night!
Nice!
piebalds arent too bad to find
albinos and melas on red deer are a different ball game for most
I know! That's why I was complaining I hadn't found one
If I get an albino or a mela by the end of this grind, I'll consider myself lucky, I just wanted one
yeah i really want a nice sized albino male or melanistic male red
shot about 30 diamond red deer now and havent got a mela or decent albino
Haha, yeah, that sounds about right!
im about 2100+ kills in with 5 albinos and no mela 😦
nice
i want the GO tho 😄
i just went back to where my go was to kill the wolves there
