He’s cleaning him self
So have they said the list of speicies for the new england map yet?
at the bottom of jaxy's message
All i see is youtube link,
Is it just me or does this map seem lazy? No new animals, looks like layton lakes, even the names lazy
Ta very much, sweet look at all those..
i think the main focus of the update is for backfilling and other features
Wowwee, its a small game bananza.. im in love.. so many faverates here.. 🥰
Interesting
Those bobcats are going to be annoying , scaring everything.. hate cats... such pests..
But its got all the small game on one.. its going to be likly may faverate map.. its got all my faverate huntables.. and no fear of wolfs invading my bow stalk.. 🥰
It will be so cool to hunt here.. if the whitetails were fallows it would be to perfict.. no boars.. no pigs.. no wolfs.. of cougers.. it will be a relax in a treestand. Or stalk for fur-game.. hell in reallife if i could hunt id eat all of them too.. hmmm coyote stew.. to rabbit pie.. roast pheasant and bobcat into a Catzucurry 😋 and pelts for sale..
Allways something to hunt.. just needs a spanial to bing them back for a pat.. 🥰
You can hunt predators in a treestand you know
I love that it's called "the Granite" update, because New Hampshire is the Granite State
How's everyone doing today
Tired.. the only clear day this aurterm without rain.. i had to miss fishing, cos its mums birthday.. so im playing shopping mule. In the capitol on a match day.. my nightmare.. 😖
whats min weight water buffalo
i hope the map doesn't have a storyline
Every map has a storyline
Why does it matter?
no revontuli coast doesn't
It does
i mean i want it to be short so they can focus on real things
Um, largest update to date,
Revontuli does have a storyline. It's short, but it's there.
it's not a story it's just a hiking trip
But it’s still a story...
very helpful thx
That's a hard one.. but.. imagine hiking through new England and finding angry Moose 🙂
Id rather being trapped in a cave full of 100 grizzlys than dealing with my two youngest siblings , both have hdhd.. and fight nonestop.. mum and me have already been kicked, bashed.. abused.. and mum got cut with a credit card.. and drunks started fighting all around us.. we barly made the train to escape as the police closed in.. when i get back.. it will be a two mile hike with arms heavy with bags.. in the dark.. sigh..
Younger siblings are a nightmare. I feel your pain

I am 31.. and have 10 siblings only one older than me, theres a reason i love the contryside and going fishing..

Yes being lost in the artic sounds dreamy in the run up to xmas.. can't wait to get myself very very lost.. 😊

Its because they focused on the game itself this time
Giving some love to the older dlcs, remodeling some animals, making the most ambitious GO yet (moose) and making the weapon customization feature
The moose is gonna have multiple racks AND unique fur types
oo
They went crazy on it
fr
also
Also it looks like they reworked the moose's tru racks system and remodeled their antlers
AGGRESSIVE MOOSE
Sweet to here, btw.. is it true older maps are getting more animals? Is hirtchfeild finaly getting its pheasants?
yes its true
pinned messages
Blacktail were being added to SRP but that got canceled
Not sure what SRP is getting now if anything
date?
None yet
Soon
SRP should get Cape buffalo
Vurhonga gets black bear 💯💯
Nice, finaly mediva is getting some love.. small game and danger sport.. the winter woods is going to get real popluer now.. bow hunting there was always fun.. now its going to get a real thrill .. and the populions of hunters will be despersed as much as the animals.. what a good job devs.. 🥰
if there will be 5 different types of go moose then how will they be different
5 different fur types
i wised they remodeled the musk deer though
I mean
Not that hard to imagine that they’ll all be unique and different from eachother
I want to be stomped so bad
woah
Eventually
yes please
I hope the fur types are as good as the mocha
that and making bears more aggresive and adding geese to medved would make it perfect
i wish the glass jar black bear was added
Chinese water deer, but you get the idea..
It’s so cute UGH
Musk deer but chonkier
Yeah the funny irony that this pic was taken in England Uk.. which britania has 7 species of deer.. only the red is truly native..
and orange
I saw a beautiful one a few months ago near in Suffolk
Cant wait to get reindeer on vurhonga 😁😁
fr
Can't wait for Wide Elk Great One
do you think when New england comes out more people will try and hunt the Black bear great one
cause right now it’s probably the least hunted one
yes, absolutely. probs a lot more going back to SRP since mtn lion are getting a drink time change
kinda off topic, is mississipi any good for hunting GO black bear?
no
If you want a challenge.
I enjoy the quail hunting there.
Horrible
New England?
wheres current england
Newest England?
gone
English land
Land in eng
Aren’t musk and water deer not a “true” deer and instead more closely related to canines?
yeah i think so
i know for sure that musk deer arent part of the true deer family (or whatever its called) but idk abt water deer
musk deer are part of the moschidae family whereas "true" deer belong to the cervidae family
water deer are deer
musk deer are not
if there is no blacktail in srp, put raccoons in srp
Strange
i just cried this map is near my home province of new brunswick. so many similarities i miss my home just wasnt enough work there. yall are awesome
also great one moose yay
Feel like black tail should be put in yukon no?
Also greater kudu confirmed for another map?
Greater Kudu will be a later update.
Jaxy was reading from the wrong list with that one
Why are blacktail going to SRP?💀
They aren't, now.
Oh
Good morning y'all, any news of what animals are going where?
love the love for the old maps as well great job team
Why was it even an option? There's no blacktail in colorado?
I hope they add Blacktail to Yukon
Now, having blacktail on a 2nd map would be cool, but they'd have to be sitka blacktail on Yukon or something, which would be awesome imo, dream hunt for me irl.
Yes
we will know more next week
def not canines lol
@sudden ginkgo I bet you’re gonna have a field day with the bobcats on the new map
oh yes.
I guess I couldn’t of expected anything else tbh
I wonder if those are mexican bobcats up in Appalachia or a new ones lol
likely new ones, probably using the mexican bobcat model as a base tho
I’d like a new animal on africa as anything but the widgeon
what aniamls will be in new map?
check pins
thanks
Welcome
So basically 223 is the best weapon for that map
Uh no, 243
But 243 is still better than 223
Not really that covers less animals on this map
I predict one of the moose great ones will be called “fabled leusistic”
More actually. 243 is 2-6
Oh I didn't know that
Like blank said, 243 is always better
Will there be at least one new species added to the game with this update?
Don't think so sadly
"green wing teal"
XDD what a shame ...
okay so green wing teal could either be a completely new thing or its just a renamed eurasian teal
I’m sure they’ll just do what they did with puma and mountain lion. Same exact model, but renamed. They’re similar enough so it doesn’t matter
Probably just renamed and remodeled to have green tipped wings
The green winged teal is a different duck from the Eurasian teal.
Eurasian teal has a horizontal white stripe while the Green Winged Teal has a vertical White stripe. Green winged teal pic top, Eurasian teal Bottom pic.
they are very similar but different yes
hopefully we'll get this purple boy with it
it was in a screenshot on rev's steam page, but it got never added
Isn’t it a rare tho?
That was very random wasn’t it lmao
That was just to say they did most maps 100% 😂😂
Don’t know anyone who would die to have a duck in vurhonga
its not a fur type in the game
and irl its pretty common
It’s probably one they think is in the game but it’s bugged
Wouldn’t be the first time lol
Mela red deer…Albino grizzly bear, they fixed albino brown bear
They had to fix albino harlequin ducks so males could be albino
What else…
I can’t think of it tbh
they still havent fixed the albino bobwhites
they can be found but they're unbelievably rare
only 2 legit ones have been found
hold on lemme get the screenshots
Who even hunts them tbf?
me
That’s probably why they don’t have many posted
I can argue the same for mela cinnamon real
Teal
from LC
I think I have one of the only diamond mela teals posted ever, I could be wrong 🤷♂️
Me
Cooler that way imo
They’re so small I wouldn’t know the difference tbh
I barely see it unless I pull up my scope
from wootz
😭
Giant W
not really
Im sure several ppl have found em but not posted
Rarer the find = the cooler it is
To me
theres a whole tactic on how to hunt them
they can be pretty annoying
but finding a diamond is so rewarding
i have a max weight one
cause they fixed the diamonds
now females cant anymore
but males can
and they can finally get to level 3
My friend has a level 4 whitetail
I’ll maybe hunt them when the game adds pointers or something
Ima ask him for the ss of it
thats a bugged great one from the rancho update
It was before rancho
still
Wayyy before
a bugged great one
Damn
I remember grinding for a great one when they first came out
700 kills in I got a 103kg buck
I didn’t play the game a few months after that 💀
cause at the time if you left the game or left render distance theyd bug out
Ill never have that problem bc i dont like whitetail 🤭
it was fixed almost a year ago
Might like them a little with the remodel
I can’t prove it but my cousin (ps4) got one as an initial spawn
Whitetail are just boring to me
I bet I could get an albino quail before an albino European rabbit at this rate
But im assuming its gonna be fallow or rosie elk next
they've been in the game since launch and got extremely overrated when great ones came out and it was the only great one for over a year
I hunt them all the time irl so i dont wanna hunt em in a video game
haha, deer go boom and then moob
remembers way back before diamonds constantly go screwed up spawns good times…good times
Now you got people stacking diamonds and great ones and ehhhhh
Tho piebald bucks are bootiful
🤮
Are they gonna remove that?
The good days
Idk if I’d say “I have 200+ diamond red deer and 100 great ones (exaggerated) is a flex 💀
i mean, if you want to get a high scoring GO or if you want to collect all the racks, its a great way to do it
I sure hope so
Like some people need to eat, shower, sleep and touch some grass 😂
Never, I mean this makes people play more
no, because thats how the game works
people just discovered how the game works and pushed it to the limit
🥲
I’m down to scrapping cotw and shoving it on a better engine
i dont think its that easy
Did it not used to be like that?
no?
we wouldn’t even need great ones of diamonds were actually hard to get
are we developers? no
do we know what we're talking about here? no
lets leave ew be, they'll know what to do
The game was 10x better before great ones ngl
they're cool
thats the reason lmao
Cuz that’s all people care about
Like tf…I just wanted nontyp deer
Not a trophy nontyp
I could care less about GOs tbh
Eh it gets views and keeps people playing
Tho i am gonna get the meese
not really
very few people actually have the patience to grind for one here
i think you're inflating the problem just a tiny bit
And when they do fallow
Well I found the pic he sent me
nice
I do think the devs need to relax when it comes to putting a GO on every new map tho
Am I though, how many times in a single stream can people ask about how to get one, best way to grind for one, how does herd management work
We got 4 wt maps in a row
They just need to stop focusing on wt so much
I mean it’s easier to copy and paste content than to make new content
its because youtubers influence their audience
if the youtuber loves grinding, hes viewers will probably too
some of them at least
Half the audience is under the age of 15 doesn't suprise me they have a mob mentality
👆
15 seems generous 😂
Not me 🤭
I think 15 is a lil to high
Maybe 13
their responsability if they join here
its them that will get banned, not us
If they want this game to start boomin they gotta do africa 2
Which SHOULD be the next map after NE
give them time
maps take a lot of time to make
Based on what they said ab greater kudu
especially maps like africa, where literally everything is new
Unless they are just gonna add them to vurhonga
I'm still upset about the kudu
who knows
I hope the hell this map didn’t take a long time to make because that worries me lmao
💀
mistake on jaxy's side
not a big deal
poor guy had a lot of weight on him with all that info
Like…what was there to do besides terrain 😂
I think the communities response about the greater kudu will enfluence future content
New bibcat and meese
exactly
The bobcat aren’t new though?
true, I don't blame him
They’re probably just gonna rename them like puma mountain Lion
If Im being honest I think this map was gonna be the map before revoili coast but the backlash with Na maps made them postpone it
notice how we've been asking for weapon customization for 3 or 4 years and it was only now added
we just gotta wait, africa and australia will eventually be added
At least we know that they are working on the greater kudu, right?
They arent gonna add mexican bobcats to NE
Vivid gotta be honest dude, I don’t think the backlash is much better this time either 💀
If you think they’re making new bobcat models your outta your mind lmao
Maybe…
Cant have orange bobcats in NE
Do it
But do i wanna spend money or grind my life away hmmm
yeah...10 years ago
The best game ever made was made 10 years ago 🤨
They spent majority of their time taking a cod like weapon customizer for skins and gave us a NA map with all repeats don’t think too hard on it
I’m really not tryna bash the update but it’s pretty hard not to with this one…
13*
I mean at least we are getting agro meese
Yea that is very nice
Bo2 was made 10 years ago
Holy shit
It was actually 10 years ago today
What a coincidence
oh thought u talking about thehunter classic
well thehunter classic is best hunting game ever
And yet the classic engine can have waterfalls and cotws can’t 💀
Isn’t that something
Idkkk bass pro shops: the hunt on the wii was pretty damn fun
regarding the new species on Medved: you could also put Black Grouse there, because why not? They exist there.
thats simply the gap between map releases. it's likely they are actually in development for longer than that
Also, remember this: even if you don't buy the new map, you get the bug repairs
Bugfixes are never behind a paywall
Look man the map has great variety even though there are no new species really the features and such make up for the time spent on making new species and so on
Being in the software business (but not EW) I've learned to accept that there are bugs that have escaped QA every time.
let him believe what he wants
Some people cant be pleased isnt it
then dont pay for it
And then there's people who have tolerances
we didnt ask u to be here, or play the game for that matter
That's fine, it's your choice
I think the map will be great because of all the species coming from maps I don’t care for
dude. you are the minority, almost everyone else here loves this update. why you acting like everyone has the same negative opinion as you?
NA is a big market for hunters, I guess that's why
A lot of people wanted Appalachian mountains, GO moose, backfilling and weapon customization
no
maps are in the works for years
they just make more than one at a time and whenever ones ready they release it
also they have a 6 months schedule, so even if they finished one early theyd still have to wait
I’ve seen numerous people asking for it
because they focused on the game it self (17th time in saying this to you)
I'll just say this, I'm guessing you will get all the new features with the update, whether you buy the DLC or not.
Does no one realize that green wing teal and bobcats are new species 🙃
Ik nothing special but still
Because that has usually been the case
yes, and?
what about it?
Maybe they were planning on releasing africa 2 but they wanted to work on it more so they added this one instead
That makes sense to me
Has anybody said they are working onAfrica 2.0? No.
Maps arent made of just animals
You still have to have to factor in making every single asset used, the textures, the interactables, the missions, the VFX, the ambient sounds, the terrain, the trees, the grass, the dialogues and the placement of all the trees, rocks and assets.
Now picture this happening alongside 3 or 4 other maps in the development
Greater kudu is a pretty good hint
this dude is seriously saying not to GUESS THINGS. like bruh you cant tell people what to do
The saying "to assume makes an ass out of u and me" does exist for a reason
And its just a gueds
can someone help me
But that is not confirmed.
yes
b-r-u-h
- thats only partially true
- thats just a thin slice of map making
i bought the sidearms pack and i do not see it in game
restarted game multiple times
Well they are either going on vurhonga or they are making a new africa map 🤷♂️
have you bought them in the store? the in-game store?
no they dont show up in the store
And i highly doubt they are gonna put em on vurhonga it's already to over crowded
And alr has lessers
keep in mind they're pistols
(i spent 20 minutes looking for them in the rifle section cause im stupid)
have you downloaded the dlc yet?
it says it is
Dude, when the greater kudu was mentioned in the stream there were two different lists of additions, who knows what was the correct one?
Jaxy said it himself that there were two different lists
Amd they put it on there
irrelevant point lmaooo
jaxy confirmed here we're getting the wigeon in stead of the greater kudu sadly
There we go
^
If this is true I apologize bc i didnt hear this part
Calmati, calmati
tranqui fratello
(I have no idea if that is actually italian)
yes, it is
yea this dlc still not appearing
they are names of dishes, not really italian words, but yes
restart your pc
i already asked him all this while you were complaining
Well, this DLC isn't out yet, so no need to restart your anything
the guys talking about an older dlc
yea
Oh. Then restart
Are u sure its downloaded on steam
ive restarted steam opened game several times how do you make sure its installed
restart your computer and then let us know
Bc somehow i didnt have truracs downloaded 💀
check integrity and whatnot
Didn't Jaxy mention that whitetails are getting a rework?
Im pretty sure u can just uninstall the trucracs DLC
But i had to of had it before bc i had all kinds of wonky diamonds
But when i got on steam it said i didnt have it the other day
Doesn't mean that the racks can't get a rework as well
its just too perfect
looks unnatural
Jaxy confirmed truracs weren’t messed with
But I don't know, I don't work for the company so I'm as clueless as you are
the screenshots we saw show that they're still the same
moose on the other hand is getting its racks reworked
I wish there was we could still get pre tru racks tho, maybe like a super rare occurrence
Want a Diamond og rack WT and BT so bad
I agree with you for once tacos 😂
remember when bt antlers were massive
OG blacktail were so nice
who said that moose truracs are getting reworked
I'm quite mad, but indifferent that I actually got a diamond whitetail before the trophy lodges were introduced.
I still have a really big one point off Diamond OG BT in my lodge and several OG botched Diamond WT in a small separate room
that moose is not a great one
Jaxy didn’t confirm that wasn’t the G1 when he was asked about it
since great ones moose are confirmed to be getting 5 unique fur types
Was it realistic no... was it better yes
I got a OG diamond one it was my first ever diamond
bro its still not working lol wtf
I agree
I wasn’t good at all at the game back then, I never kept a consecutive harvest 😭
Me either 😭
it would be reasonable to assume that they'll have their own special model
just like red deer and black bear
Its on my OLD xbox acc
Also classic has non-typicals
I messed up 4 OG WT diamonds because of consecutive harvest
I wish I got a pre trurac wt I grinded for one but couldn't get one but found a 3 a day after the truracs released
I really wish they would give us non typs in cotw
I killed a 1000 scoring Diamond WT the day after Tru Racs 😭😂
Tbh this update would have been perfect for the introduction of nontyps
Great ones 🤓
They didn't mention that they were in this update, but alse they didn't mention that they weren't
Lmao
this image says it all
Point taken
they are not getting reworked
That’s the image I sent him
full stop
Because to me it looked a little different than Diamond racks we currently have
..
no game can replicate how wt antlers look like irl (big bucks)
Maybe the trailer just happened to hit a Great One?
the image is 2 pixels by 2 pixels lmao, i would not look at the details here
That one side looks smaller and the other side the tines look longer than our current big rack, but I guess it’s just the low quality image
🤓
Not the dd image
we need to stop overthinking and start underthinking
This
wonky diamond
or wonky troll
nothing says its a diamond after all
Felt
It's getting delayed
🤸♂️
motherfu-
Wise words of blank 2022
True I just haven’t ever saw that rack in game so I asked about it
I do however think the Moose in the image is a G1 rack
I've seen enough dd thumbnails to know its a normal diamond rack
That rack on that deer big as hell
looks smaller than the 300 rack tbh
Same I think they just want to hid the furs till people find them
That’s what I figure
There could be different racks
I better get the orange fur type when i get my black bear GO or ima cry
Chestnut?
yall remember the nut stain bear
I want the one with the star, can’t even remember the name of it
spotted
I just think that they should make anything up to and including 308 an FMJ ammunition that is class 1 only
sorry
I might actually do a BB grind when we get NE Mtns
Facts
the only larger-sized game
A G1 of each from the same map would be cool
I'll buy it just to have another chance for an initial spawn GO💀
People are complaining but I’m happy with it, im a NA map guy anyway I hardly ever hunt any of the other maps so it made me happy
weirdo
Compared to others yeah that’s weird, everyone wants an Australia or Africa 2.0 but I could care less about those tbh
Thank you, and that's also something that needs to be realized: You can't ever please everybody
Fs
My biggest issue is, we haven't had a new species with horns or antlers since te awaroa. Other then that the maps have been decent to pretty good
Wait really💀
2 years wtf
Also, as some have already noticed, every other map that has been release is placed in NA. Why? Because that's where the biggest hunting community in the Earth exists (I think, no sources). So it makes sense to make a map every half-a-year that is based on somethin in NA.
the day they announce srp 2.0 is the day i quit cotw
We got alot of whitetail and moose maps which is nice, but like turkeys they are starting to feel overused
You are free to do so.
Ive herd people complaining about all the small game.. but people need realize that the majoerty of hunting is actualy small game.. for the sport and fur trade.. and there is only a limited number of actual large species that remain huntable.. and many sum up the population of the northen hrmisphere are already ingame. .. it was always the bigger complat before of not enough snall game.. but now the devs are realy filling it up people are complaining again.. people shoild be happy that by balenceing out the maps by filling in with more snall game and spreading around the same animsls... it allows players to play the maps they want without being forced to hunt on maps they hate for the gane they seek.. increasing the happier free to choose session experience to where they actualy like.. 😊
Thanks for that
Like I do agree with that. I just wish we could get just one or 2 new big game animals with horns/antlers or at least ones that have only 1 map currently
But this update is going to improve the game alot especially for medved
Aye, its only missing some snow hares and it'll be truly fixed.. not sure about wolrvines 'gluttons in europe' as im not sure they can even be hunted.. or live in siberia?
medved my beloved
I think as long as something is within the realm of possibility it should be considered for the game
Maybe I'll be able to find medved multiplayer servers now xD
As long as the game engine can do it, mind you
Of course
Also can't wait to put on the snow camo on the weapons I'm using while on medved
For real
and I can put a better ( imo ) camo on the AR 308
Only thing they need to do is give everyone the leaf ghillie suit
Yeah
Srp
ever heard of mountain lions
Aye, medva is the best treestand hunt map ever, loads of trees to place your stand high.. and spacious trees with many open areas.. and lakes to cover a broard radious.. and with the snow so white i can hunt without my torchlight. As i can see realy far without on the luminous backdrop.. hunting wolves will be truly vuable there.. which it wasnt in the tight green of yukon.. or the areas burnt or tundra you could not place it.. the tables will now turn 😊
Yes bc they make bighorn hunting hell
what are the confirmed species?
check pins
tbf revontuli also only has 3 big game species
and so did rancho unless you count javelinas
idk if most people consider those big game
I don’t
3 new variations of species for the new map
Feels very lacking
They could've done a map that the community wanted
But they decided to do something a lot of the community agreed they shouldn't have done yet
The free update is better than the map, which says a lot of things
Tbh if I didn't live in the new England mountains irl, I would've skipped buying this map
Im just realy dam happy, they are given my faverate map of hirtched and liked map spain.. our pheasants.. i hated the mexico map.. but love hunting pheasants.. now i can have my cake and eat it too. Hence my point earliyer.. by speading the animals off their original maps..players can hunt them on maps they love playing and not be forced to hunt the enviroments they hate.. and maps can be picked better for sessions based on enjoyed enviroment and area.. rather than .. you need this species..
agreed. Fingers crossed the next reserve they release will be something more diverse
And how do you think they can do that with parts if the world.. without making huntables out of illigal and protected animals.. or making up animals like something out of the looking glass.. some of the players and hunters are real conversationists you know.. we can't just shoot everything.. and the devs can't just give anything the players demand.. otherwise we'd be shooting hephalumps and woozuls.. and blackbears that look like whinne the pooh.. complet with red shirt.. 😮💨
Ether that or next reserve looks like something out of horton hears a who.. "shudder" 🥴
Now whay i would like to see.. is the devs take a break from new reserves.. and focus entirely on our character and personalization ..stuff.. they allready have it in the hunter classic and now the angler.. for us in the hunter to gain that level of persona.. would be sick.. and finaly i can stop looking like a french resisance solider.. which atm is the only desent outfit ill wear.. and beard hides my ugly london thug face.. 😅 dream of customizeation.. its wear the devs need go next.. to realy flesh the game out and make every player fresh.. nothing makes a player happyier with a game more than making it feel more theirs.. with personal choices..
I hooe they even give us skins for arrows..
Why do you think rpgs are so populer.. and why transmog options became the best updates in those games.. fact its not just about stats.. players like playing dress up.. making your character feel more yours.. the little details matter..
I don’t see why we need character customization
You literally never see your own character
On the flip side however, if trophy shots get added then I’d say player customization should become N°1 priority
As of now though, I think it’s not worth adding at all
The Hunter isn't an RPG though, if one wants those features, they should maybe like...play an RPG?
yeah it'd be a shame if the Hunter allowed us to hunt endangered species i agree. Like imagine if on Hirsch they let us hunt European Bison
oh wait
^^^
I see all thr decent people have gone to bed.. and the trolls are digging through the bins.. best log myself.. i have other places to haunt.. 🙄
?
God forbid anyone disagrees with you right?
unironically based
ok so like, as someone not from the US/NA, what's the appeal of the new map? Like, not like "oh this map fuckin sucks" but like, is there something i should be prioritising when it comes to this map, like above other maps with similar quarry
You'll be able to bounce between three GO grinds if you want
Whitetail, black bear, and moose are all on the map
It also will have a much larger animal selection compared to Layton
That is true, but I personally do not like Layton very much
Which further means less zones to have to worry about finding
as someone on the subreddit said, it's literally like layton and hirsch had a kid
i'm holding out judgement until it like, actually comes out
but map is gonna be fairly basic tbh
QoL shit tho is gonna be amazing
i mean i'm biased but I'm disappointed that its another NA map
every second map seems to be NA
like if they added new species i'd be forgiving but...
I'm an Aussie so i obviously want an Australian map down the line, hell with the continents diversity they could have at least 4 different Australian maps
Africa only has the one map
Asia technically has Medved but that barely counts
South America has one map i think (parque?)
Hunting's a touchy subject in a lot of SA iirc
how's that?
lots of protected areas/species
one thing that still bothers me about Parque is that the map icon is in the wrong place
rev has about the same number of whitetail as the rest of the whitetail maps
I was literally going through old discussions and people were asking that question like 6 months ago
The way I've always seen it as a cycle of very good map or a not so good map, then that cycle keeps repeating, like revontuli was good now we get a meh map
It has its ups, such as the water fowl and upland bird hunting
Ravioli gave me two diamond brown bears and my first SR
Also the additions of raccon dogs and another lynx map
makes it special to me. 🤷♀️ It's also a very nice-looking map.
Everyone has their own unique ways of determining what considers a map "good"
fair
I mean I don't think Rancho is a fantastic map, but it's the prettiest IMO so it's gotta be my favourite
I wish they would have done a Whiterhime map in general, with dall sheep, artic fox, sitka, and snow shoe hairs. Along with the polar bears being aggressive
Arctic Canada map 🙏🏼
that is the one last NA map I'd want to see.
and don't forget the snow geese
Better than a Appalachia map right now. This is coming from some who hunts east coast near the Appalachians
Eh. The one we're getting has the "home range" bonus going for me.
I personally dislike the whole point of people wanting there state and stuff added, then get upset when its all the same animals
tbf, I would've gone with wood ducks in place of goldeneyes, because I actually saw a wood duck once (beautiful ducks) and I've never seen a goldeneye
^^
New England is a region tbf
is it not
but i agree
Oh did they actually? fuck that then
It is, but I just dont think it was needed, would have been better with squirrel and beaver
I think they should just be done with the U.S now
Focus on all the other areas
Keep in mind everything else the update's coming with.
the US should basically be like behind a glass case that says "Break in case of no map ideas"
Honestly they could have switched out pheasant for doves
Backfilling older maps, which more than a few people have been asking for for a while, and the weapon skin system
i am fine with the whole update except for 2 things
no coues on rancho and no squirrels on mississippi
I know but we're focusing on the map right now
QoL is a big upside i'll admit, not sure why the map is necessary
like if it's just gonna be the same shit, why even bother
Because new income source is needed to keep the lights on.
embed fail
Then they should make a map worth it
I'm in two minds about that
Not to sound rude but give the community what they want
Most of the team's attention was on the QoL things.
hence the repeats/reused assets
On one, they want something quick and cheap to entice a quick snag in order to fund it and focus on QoL
Well i mean… im not mad anymore knowing theres an african map on the way tho
on the other, a good, new map with fresh species would be a hell of a lot more enticing to everyone than a reskin
Wait for africa 2
A map with all-new things wouldn't have as many, if any QoL things.
tbh they could just scale down the whitetail model and call it a coues
Then use the reused animals and just take some time to make atleast one or two more
because it would take all of the team's resources.
and wasnt there already base squirrel models from like 2017?
the ambient squirrels which got removed due to them being more of a nuisance than anything, yeah
ok but that does mean they have a model tho
Sounds like a squirrel
yeah so techincally theres at least a start for them
Theoretically.
would come down to the files not having gotten lost some way or another, because you never know when a computer will decide to eat something
yeah
speaking from experience.
idk im gonna go to sleep its almost 11 o'clock at night for me and i gotta go to church tomorrow so see ya guys and good night if your in the same timezone
By some coincidence, same timezone
Agreed
you guys have any maps you want desperately?
personally, for totally unbiased reasons, i want an Australian map
but a mongolia or another African one would be very welcome
.
That, africa 2.0, and Australia for now
Arctic fox 🙏
Canada most likely
Tbh I’m more so hoping for a winter themed trophy lodge
man a snowy wood cabin would be fuckin bliss
anyone know why they've been doing so many white tail maps lately?
Likely cuz they have a great one and that’s been their focus lately
yeah it's all but been confirmed that the next one is Africa 2 after that
you reckon its gonna be another savannah or more jungley?
I'm hoping Nile Crocodiles get added since we got gators with Mississippi
It has greater kudu so itll have more forest than vurhonga
Im thinking their gonna do another big map like revontuli
Forest in the west
With serengeti and river in the east
Im assuming leopards will be a thing as well
Im assuming will get half new creatures and half remodeled old ones
Theres like hundreds of animals they could choose
And if they were already working on it then they gonna release that bitch at christmas and make bank
If they werent itll simply be the next map
Are the map and update out already?
Soon™️
Id assume at the end of the month
nada
Thank you!
Cause whitetail deer home range is wide
U just want cats 👹
Ur a smart one here, do u think theyd put bongos in game?
No
Different region
Also pretty sure leopard is almost as requested as greater kudu
And since itll be a new animal itll be the best looking cat in the game
Anyone wanna hunt fallow deer if so dm me can we use your map just looking for good spots and stuff
honestly the amount of american maps we have is out of hand
i want an australia map so bad
based
where though? Outback, Central NSW? Daintree? Kakadu?
I reckon Kakadu
saltwater crocodiles in creeks and billabongs would be good
Daintree could be interesting as well depending on what they want
Got salties, cassowaries, tree kangaroos, wallabies, pigs, brumbies, hares and rabbits
or hell even a hybrid going on of Daintree, Kakadu, and like the Riverina or that sorta terrain
Me too, the update will be very good, the map itself is more of the same. 2-3 north American maps were enough
They're focusing too much in the grind aspect
anyone know if the updates gnna be a certain state in new england or wuts up
maybe this time i wont rage everytime i see one knowing they will go under water lol
Tbh i doubt this will happen
It’s illegal to hunt them here
yet again it is illegal to cassually kil 19876 animals in 4 years so....
ya fs
It would be sick if there were ambient wombats
Hunting wombats is basically evil but they r awesome
Melee weapons confermed
Generation zero crossover is incoming
I’m at the gym rn
ah damn
Thanks for offering tho
you mean fighting a kangaroo?
Yeah I’m training for that
average austriallian🙄
kinda ig
I’m mega lucky I got a diamond grizz on my initial spawns for Yukon
Haven’t properly touched them since
bet we'll be waitinglol
There r a bunch at that outpost where the river gets a lil narrower
been looking for some blondes so yay
Imagine they put sambar on an Aussie map
omgl
do we know about any of the new animals releasing in the granite update?
Check pins
weren't we supposed to get blacktail deer in silver ridge peaks
I always wanted wolves on medved and now i got em
I’m so excited for this update
not anymore
It wasn't realistic so they removed em
blacktail don't live in colorado so it got vetoed
then why don't we get something else
we might
i hope we do
what would be a good animal to add
i think they would just add another bird
which
both
yes
i just realized that i might have never hunted a chamois in te awaroa
they seem rare
they're only up in the mountains
tbh I think Medved's going to become one of my favorite maps when the update hits
Are chamois the ones that scream like they are being killed lol
no they're the ones that fart
Arent those bighorn sheep
Probably not, would make lots of sense for coyote but it probably won’t happy
Happen
bighorns also fart yeah
im hopeful
They live in almost every state
I would love Dall sheep and Sitka deer added to Yukon in the future.
if they put peccary in parque, will the mission change?
most likely not
what about the mission?
the mission where you have to get a diamond of each species
the ones that sound like whistling and the tree creak thing
I like their sound
What if they add more fur types for GO red deer?
I don't want anymore dev time spent on red deer lol
they got enough attention for the next decade 😂
I would grind them again probably
Next G1 should be Wild boar with 10 Fabled fur types.
As long as they come out with trutusk
Fallow Deer >
Mule deer>>>>
although, I'd be very okay with a GO euro rabbit 😏 EW...you know you can make this happen
Go rabbit is a jackalops
then I can sit back and watch everyone struggle on how to kill lots of them 😂
Your dms and @ your skyrocket
I hope that blacktail deer haven’t been completely scrapped from being backfilled in this coming up and hopefully get added on Yukon. and something gets added to silver ridge.
Yeah
I've already had 5 people dm me how to hunt them 😂
It probably wouldn't be this upcoming update, but a later one
I rather them just get added to SRP for one big reason
last thing I want is even the slightest chance at another American map within the next 2-3 maps releases...
after this one that is
so yeah, add them so we don't have to spend an entire map cycle just so we can have "a new blacktail map"
@peak cedar would you be fine with an arctic map.
I would be fine if they took WRR in classic and brought it over to cotw
Polar Bear
Snowshoe Hare
Dall Sheep
Artic Fox
Bison
Snow Geese
Moose
Sitka Deer
enough new species for me 🤷♂️
Mallard will be in 4 maps it has a chance of getting a Great one.
Canadian lynx
I would die of happiness
ehhh
Meriam Turkey will be added in layton lakes, it also has a chance of Great one.
Turkey to layton was such a weird idea lmao
Turkey peacock hybrid for a turkey go would be cool as hell
that is what you call a bug my friend
Same thing
also
Is it just me, or I'm seeing river systems in cotw finally!!
easiest idea for reindeer great one
just bring back the legacy racks but make them bigger
easy W
they look 100x better than the truRACS
wym "finally" 💀
No
As long as an animal is in base game and is in 3 or more maps it has a chance of Great one.
dafuq
Stop
Holy Thanksgiving
fr
The great one can literally be whatever the community wants the most. You guys are looking too far into this 😂
Next GO gotta be Elk, we're forgetting Elk won the poll over Moose and yet we got Moose first (which I wanted personally lol)
Shhhhh
if tomorrow everyone started saying "we want a GO mallard" I promise you maybe not the next GO (as it's probably already in very early stage of research) but the one after that would 100% be a go mallard lmao
Why they live here
I think the logo for bird GOs gotta be a star with feathers under
just because a species lives in that region doesn't mean it has to be shoved on a map
Let me introduce you to the G.O pyramid chart this would tell you what animal has a good chance of getting a Great one.
Yet they added it because its there its why blacktail weren’t added to srp because it doesn’t live here its not a weird decision
still looking to far into it 😂
We have one map with Pheasants and with this update they're gonna be on 4 💀
Ah, so musk deer are gonna be top #1 priority
🧌
And one is base map
blacktail weren't added to SRP not because "they don't live there" it's because a mass of people complained about it
and yes, there's a difference between the two
like I said
the community controls majority of things, fixed, added, or removed from the game
I think by the time we get Musk deer GO, we're all gonna be married here and have our kids and families so you have some waiting to do unfortunately 😭
because at the end of the day, EW is a company and it wouldn't exist if it weren't for consumers
Well we, the consumers (Constitution reference) ask for Blacktail on Yukon instead of SRP
I wanted this to happen since they added the turkeys for the first time
And now my dream comes true
They fit there soooo mucch
And Turkeys being on a base map, good chance for a GO soon
and instead...ya got Canada Geese 👏 👏
lol
Canada geese on SRP 👀
no yukon
L
Mallards could also be the first male and female great ones
Both Blacktail and Geese on Yukon and a waterfowl on srp
tbh srp need moose and will be the perfect map for big game
Foxes 👀
Turkey on layton
Gray Fox 👀
Feels good
Next year is gonna be the year of the Great ones
I rather it be the year of "Aussie" and "Africa 2.0" idk about anyone else
I rather it be the year of Africa 2.0 and Australia (P.S. Jaxy read Greater Kudu somewhere on some unknown list 👀)
I guess I wasn't the only one lmao
lol
I would be okay if we got Africa 2.0 first and then aussie. I just want both in one year
sales would be 📈 📈
It can still be the year of the Great ones and Africa 2.0 and Australia
tru
if they're sticking to base game GOs for now it probably won't be
I mean have you seen the sacrifice with this next update lol
What sacrifice?
Actually ... good point lol
If we hadn't had GO, we'd probably got Australia sooner lol
Lol its all most streamers care abouts is getting like a hundred of them
Great Ones... down undah!
I hate the whole grinding concept but its just personal preference
Do you have a dime peccary tho
Same, that's why I lack a GO
Clocks ticking
I bet Cashnip knew about herd management all along and just wasn't telling the secret to anyone... that's how he got those sr Lynx, otherwise I find it impossible lol
Do you have one yet?
Fair point.
Dude i take 4 AP classes in highschool and got a Sr and 5 g1s
💀💀
Thats more sad than it is cool
I think Diamonds are reasonably rare for most players
whats this "outside" you speak of
"Diamonds are rare"
Youtube: "Stacking our 26th diamond on the map and a great one"
Fr
The world has changed i guess ... 😦
I just mean in the context of a player that plays less than, say 200 sum hours
I go fishing with my boyfreind at least twice a week if its warm enough
Hell yea, nice! That's going outside allright lol
💀💀
Hes making a point
Only certian diamonds are rare now
Great ones provide a challenge for people who have alot of diamonds and they look cool
Can most of you show me a dime lynx quail euro bison?
i can show you a lynx
I dont even have a quail
gone is the era of female diamond quail
I'm just saying a lot of dimes are still rare
Rex fox coyote pheasant musk deer
Lol I had two level 9 reds spawn in one day
Did they both make dime
And where you grinding red fox
I only have one coyote out of all those lol
Yes, and no I wasnt because I have a life
Such a dumb statment
Musk deer are so weird
they need retexture (or whatever you want to call re-doing the fur)
I want to understand how evolution gave them little tusks
Blanks a try hard grinder
those are mostly all 5+ months ago
