[arctic gate]

Oh boy cant wait to not hunt red fox again

[low citrus]

I become very upset and become emotionally unstable for the following week :(

[mighty dove]

It was something funny did you not see

[dusky wolf]

i did

[mighty dove]

Oli loves me

[low citrus]

You wish I did

[smoky knot]

I can't wait to see what new species and multi mounts we get

[twilit prism]

I'm more interested in the weapons and or ewuipment

And of course animals

[outer geyser]

My guess of returning species: Fallow deer, Axis Deer, Rabbits, red fox, feral goats or pigs

Maybe Water Bufflo - but depends of if we get a Banteng or scrub bull

[twilit prism]

I want banteng more than scrub bulls

Rabbits is a must

[mighty dove]

Did Jaxy say returning animal or animals?

[twilit prism]

There's like 20 million or 2 billion rabbits in Australia

[outer geyser]

New species guess - Kangaroos, A new deer species (Rusa or Sambar), Maybe Camel or Banteng, possible crocodile,

And new birds like Magpie goose, feral Pigeon, Quail or Partridge, a new duck species

[peak cedar]

Magpies ❤️

Very interesting geese

[languid wedge]

Yessssss

[dusky wolf]

oh god magpies wait nvm thought you meant the other kind of magpie

[peak cedar]

Killed over 2,100 of them in classic they look like something from the Jurassic era 😂

[dusky wolf]

im pretty sure they are a very basal waterfowl

[peak cedar]

They have a huge wing span

[outer geyser]

Tbh this could be a show stopper map. In over 2 years we have not gotten a new species over class 6 and this map could introduce a new deer species (sambar, hog or rusa), camels, Banteng and crocodile.....Could be the best bigger game map we have had in 3 years

Like Sika deer was the last antler species and that was 3 years ago

[peak cedar]

That’s good because the game desperately needs something big

[dusky wolf]

to confirm what i said magpie geese and their relatives first appeared in the eocene so they are technically a living fossil

[peak cedar]

That’s cool

I was lucky enough to get an albino magpie in classic id love the opportunity to get one in cotw 😉

[outer geyser]

Question: Whats the chance you think we will have camels?

Like they are feral and a invasive species in most of the outback

However, they are not from Australia technically and would really need a total different rig of there own

Personally I would think it would be a missed opportunity NOT to add them as they are highly requested

[vivid cosmos]

Lets hunt brumbies

[arctic gate]

Just comes down to how lazy were the devs this development cycle

[vivid cosmos]

I doubt so much about so many of the species proposed I think the biggest risk they will take are kangaroos

They haven’t taken almost any risks on the species roster

Since pheasants in rancho and that wasn’t really a risk cause everyone wanted pheasants on the game

[stiff leaf]

thank god

i might have a reason to come back to cotw

[dusky wolf]

people hunt kangaroos irl so it isn't a risk

[stiff leaf]

xd

nice catch

[final depot]

it is not mine

uploaded it @ashen pine

[limber cliff]

I think they are regulated though, can't just go hunt them all willy nilly

[stiff leaf]

@languid wedge if new map is cool can you buy it for me so i can try getting back into this game

[languid wedge]

[stiff leaf]

mmm butter from the side of a popcorn bag hits different

[arctic gate]

Good thing this is a video game and doesnt have those pesky government regulations

[limber cliff]

Woah wow really? I had none idea.

[arctic gate]

Glad that i could help!

Always good to see people learning

[limber cliff]

Please, never become a teacher.

That said, yeah you're right - there aren't regulations, but there's also things to look at - how would they implement it to make it somewhat realistic

[arctic gate]

Someone fell off the bed this morning

[low citrus]

EW has openly stated they don’t want to introduce species that are endangered or illegal to hunt

[limber cliff]

because it's not Bambi's Revenge arcade shooting, but it isn'T 100% realistic

[arctic gate]

Maybe you should learn to take a joke

[limber cliff]

Nah, beds floor level, there's no falling here kiddo

[arctic gate]

Not illegal to hunt kangaroos its just got lots of regulations

Emu are much worse in that regard

[limber cliff]

Yeah because they're like the national bird or something

[low citrus]

It’s the same situations as elephants. Not technically illegal in a few locations but there’s a ton that goes into it

[arctic gate]

Does someone need to teach you that kangaroos aren’t birds now?

Maybe i should become a teacher

[wind ridge]

Isn't it similar to the song that JB had behind?
https://elsewhere.scdn3.secure.raxcdn.com/downloads/mp3s/77_Track02.mp3

[languid wedge]

I mean they did have that survey question; and Jaxy said it's not fully impossible a while back

[low citrus]

Apparently the song Jaxy had playing was an Australian song

[limber cliff]

sounds a bit like it!

[low citrus]

So yeah

It can’t not be Australia

[limber cliff]

It certainly isnt impossible - my only big thought would be they'd need to execute it properly

[languid wedge]

Exactly

[limber cliff]

Jaxy actually brought up a point in his stream after stream

He said if they brought elephants to it - he'd see it like, one or two tags a week - and ONLY harvest bulls, if you took a cow there'd be a penalty locking you from it

so like - in theory that could work for Roos or other touchy game animals

[low citrus]

If hunting elephants had mechanics like that then I’d be fucking upset

Why add convoluted mechanics to a game that doesn’t need them nor the species they’re implemented on

[limber cliff]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It was just thinking out loud, if I understood it properly

[languid wedge]

If they did add elephants I would want them to add a mechanic where you have to take a brain shot and if you don't that it does similar to the grounded mechanic and have the brain is the only vital

[dusky wolf]

maybe making elephants EXTREMELY rare would help

[dark crag]

Interesting

[languid wedge]

Yeah having say 25-50 animals on the map with ⅓ bulls ⅔ cows

[limber cliff]

I like it

[low citrus]

Eh

You know what

[dusky wolf]

i'd say less maybe like 10?

[low citrus]

Either add the animals and have em be huntable just like everything else or don’t add them at all

No point adding mechanics and shit that just make them frustrating to hunt

[dusky wolf]

if im to hunt elephants i want them to be rare

[languid wedge]

Or 25%/75% it would honestly be really cool

[low citrus]

Or just, have them be like any other animal 👹

[stiff leaf]

1 bull the rest are females

[dusky wolf]

elephants would have to be like an entire new class level

[dark crag]

Just add them like normal animals but make them tanks

[stiff leaf]

also if i decide that i want to play this update im deleting every trophy i have

[languid wedge]

But typically a herd has one or two bulls and then you have lone males or groups of two or three

[low citrus]

The main reason I never wanted elephants is how people want tag systems and like weekly draws for who’s allowed to hunt one or whatever the fuck

[limber cliff]

Just new game

[languid wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/why-just-why-but-why-monkey-gif-14872882

[stiff leaf]

delete save file 😈

[dark crag]

Nooo

Didn't u have a super rare feral goat?

[stiff leaf]

yeah

[dark crag]

Bro

[low citrus]

If EW is gonna add in an animal that’s notorious for how endangered it is and has been in the past, then go full tilt and just make them like every other animal in the game without those stupid mechanics

[stiff leaf]

i'll go through and delete everything except 1st fallow (1st dia)

[dark crag]

Don't do it please

[low citrus]

why?

Like what’s the motive behind it

[stiff leaf]

want a fresh start

[languid wedge]

Or yeah a tag or restriction like that would be stupid

[stiff leaf]

• another thing thatll get me banned

[languid wedge]

Oh*

[dark crag]

atleast keep ur super rares

[stiff leaf]

no

[dark crag]

[low citrus]

And what would that be?

[languid wedge]

Super troll

[dusky wolf]

itt would make sense if elephants weren't as numerous as the other animals, hunting them would be like normal but they're wouldnt be many on the map at one time

[dark crag]

I can type emojis here

[wind ridge]

Great wild open...
If the map is not a "reserve", then could it be Public Hunting Lands?
Or maybe a pun on the Australian Open Tennis?
XD

[low citrus]

What if Great Wild Open is something else entirely?

[sudden ginkgo]

[stiff leaf]

probably a placeholder name

id think

[dark crag]

[stiff leaf]

hi @sudden ginkgo

[low citrus]

There’s been talk about an unnamed game in development by EW right now. I know it’s been said COTW 2 likely isn’t gonna happen in a while, but what if this has smn to do with it?

[stiff leaf]

lmao i remember that @languid wedge

[languid wedge]

Good

[stiff leaf]

i miss cotw but i cant bring myself to play it

[languid wedge]

Sounds right

You'll get a itch at some point

[dark crag]

I started a new terraria world with 5 of my buds so no cotw anytime soon

[stiff leaf]

yeah ima delete save file from the laptop rq, not the pc yet

[languid wedge]

Maybe

[dusky wolf]

trying to find a lvl 4 piebald moose on my map oof

[stiff leaf]

do i delete the entirety of whats inside the steam user ID folder

[dark crag]

Just delete everything, what's the worst that can happen?

[stiff leaf]

im surprised my laptop even had the game updated ☠️

[languid wedge]

You delete the folder inside of the avalanche folder in your documents

[stiff leaf]

game crashed

[languid wedge]

Of all people why the hell are you asking this question

[dark crag]

Gn yall

[languid wedge]

Nighty night

[stiff leaf]

bc i havent played the game in like 5 months

[languid wedge]

Smooth brain

[stiff leaf]

and i forgot

[languid wedge]

So

[stiff leaf]

goofy

[low citrus]

I hate playing the game but I also like the serotonin/dopamine intake when I find a rare

[stiff leaf]

uh huh

[dark crag]

Kwak I hope u get bullied by pumas in warthunder

[glacial summit]

I hate when I see you typing in chat

🏃‍♂️

[stiff leaf]

bopsicle hi

[glacial summit]

jk

Hi bby

[low citrus]

Hate the fact I exist on this earth that has you on it

Wish you’d just

[glacial summit]

If I were given an opportunity I would blow up the sun just to see you suffer

i will stop

[stiff leaf]

how do i delete a lodge without going in game to the lodge section to delete it

[glacial summit]

before we get barned

[dark crag]

[low citrus]

If given the opportunity I’d apply rotational force upon your balls 👹

(Love you bop)

[dark crag]

[twilit prism]

Ouch.

[sudden ginkgo]

how much torque?

[twilit prism]

I think every male in the area felt that

[languid wedge]

My gowd I just need to do everything for you

[low citrus]

Enough to snap a steel beam

[stiff leaf]

my game is seriously messed up

[glacial summit]

I can take it

[sudden ginkgo]

might not be a bad idea to do a verify game files

[stiff leaf]

the phone says region Name

[dark crag]

[languid wedge]

Sounds right

[mighty dove]

It’s blank like your name

[languid wedge]

Just delete it all and reinstall the game

[mighty dove]

slaps knee

[languid wedge]

Little

[sudden ginkgo]

nah more like the inside of his head

[mighty dove]

Kwak

[sudden ginkgo]

i fuckin saw that

[stiff leaf]

whats a head

[languid wedge]

Lmfao

[mighty dove]

Saw what?

🤭

[sudden ginkgo]

alright i see what you want

[wintry saddle]

I would bet on Australia

[final depot]

2 small maps, desert and jungle

"small"

[ashen pine]

It's actually the name of the NEM main theme. So I assume Jaxy was playing it at the end of the stream.

[final depot]

So no name? 😔

[twilit prism]

Dang

[twilit prism]

That's ironic. It's not that open

[grand cipher]

Woah what’s going on

[glacial summit]

Australia

probably

maybe

[grand cipher]

Is there like a clue we gotta find or nah

[glacial summit]

No they stopped doing clues Im pretty sure

super fricken lame imo but

[grand cipher]

I mean it did kinda distract them because someone had to code it in

[glacial summit]

Couldn't have been that hard

This place turned in to a dumpster fire when clue chat dropped but I honestly think it was the most enjoyable part of this server

[grand cipher]

Oh facts

[glacial summit]

I miss it

[grand cipher]

Fun dumpster fire

Seeing as it’s a upside down stream and it’s not Africa it’s Australia or SA

And seeing as we have a SA map it’s Australia

[midnight moon]

when was this chat here

[sudden ginkgo]

as of this morning or so

[low citrus]

Maybe

[long spade]

yo, uhm, how possible is it that there will be wallabies and kangaroos? As small game /big game combo?

[mossy atlas]

when Jaxy said on stream it's not me whose talking about Australia, it's chat, I believe that is kinda confirming it

59:18 into todays stream he says this like he's talking to his boss

[round birch]

if the next map is Australia, what are 5 new species and 5 returning species you guys want to see?

[stiff leaf]

i hope its not entirely outback autralia, i hope theres a rainforest section at least

doubt it though

[glacial summit]

I hope we reuse as many species as possible

[warm basin]

Lmfao

[glacial summit]

Nem appreciation post

[coarse lintel]

I hope for hog deer

Dingos and emus too

[mossy atlas]

As an Aussie, super hyped, if they go outback or maybe Northern territory Magpie geese would be a fowl option, they are a very popular hunted species, obviously kangaroos, they could do feral camels, water buffalo, sambar deer rusa deer, saltwater crocodiles

[round birch]

personally, for new species, i want to see Sambar, Rusa, Bateng, Red Kangaroos, and Dingos, and then for returning species, i want to see Fallow Deer, Water Buffalo, Feral Goats, Feral Pigs, and Axis Deer

[coarse lintel]

I wonder how the map would look like if they add saltwater crocodiles?

[midnight moon]

I like that lineup

Oh saltwater crocs would be awesome

Kind of a shame that our only option for crocs/gators is MAP

[coarse lintel]

So when's the reveal? XD

I must know everything!!

[round birch]

they live in coastal mangrove swamps, so if they were to add saltwater crocs, it would have to be maybe a tropical or swampy map

[midnight moon]

Gotta be next Tuesday right?

[coarse lintel]

I want to know all the new species its been so long for new species.

[mossy atlas]

I mean, they could do the NT and have crocs in the rivers, the rivers in the NT are littered with crocs

[midnight moon]

New species that aren’t small game and birds

[coarse lintel]

Yeah that xD

[midnight moon]

I want the excitement of finding out what the different diamond racks look like for the new antlered animals

[coarse lintel]

we've had too many small game maps in a row, I just want 1 new species of truracs

[mossy atlas]

rusa deer, sambar deer there's 2 for ya

[midnight moon]

With you all the way on that Jonny

[round birch]

im really hoping this new map will have more species than rev since it's going to very different from previous maps

[round birch]

and Banteng

[midnight moon]

Those species are not guaranteed on the next map, never know what there will be until it’s revealed

[coarse lintel]

Banteng would be so cool and they are in classic so good odds they make it. Unless its an outback map

[round birch]

i am pretty curious if they will have both Sambar Deer and Rusa Deer if the next map is Australia since they're extremely similar

probably won't, but it would be cool if they did

[midnight moon]

Hopefully both make it

[round birch]

yeah

[midnight moon]

I wonder what new piece of equipment we will get with this map?

[coarse lintel]

Are red deer in Australia?

[mossy atlas]

yes

[coarse lintel]

Thinking this because we have 5 whitetail and moose maps but only 4 red deer maps

[midnight moon]

Red deer booooo

[coarse lintel]

Someone is hungover on red deer xD

[mossy atlas]

I'm hoping for fallow with fallow being the new GO

[round birch]

also if the next map has saltwater crocodiles then they may be the biggest animal in the game because they can weigh between 2,200 - 3,300 pounds and can grow up to 16 - 20 feet or so

[midnight moon]

Fallow GO would be sick. I saw a GO fallow concept from a fan and it was stunning. If anything similar to it was added I’d be a very happy hunter

[round birch]

i may be mistaken, but the biggest animal in the game currently may be cape buffalo, which weigh up to about 2,000 pounds

[coarse lintel]

Biggest rn is water buffalo

they are 2.7k pounds

[midnight moon]

Yeah waters are the biggest

[coarse lintel]

cape buffalo are just the toughest though

[round birch]

yeah

[midnight moon]

I’m actually the biggest animal in game tho

[mossy atlas]

I expect an outback type map, which is a shame our country is so much more than the outback but it is always what companies do when doing anything Australian

[round birch]

i do wonder if they could even add saltwater crocs ingame because i feel like they'd be too big for a good portion of the mounts in the lodge

[mossy atlas]

they added aligators

[midnight moon]

Saltwater crocs are huge when compared to American alligators

[round birch]

i am honestly wondering about the possibility of 2 Australian maps, each in 2 different environments. i imagine the first one would probably be the outback and the second would be maybe a tropical map. doubt it tho

[stray surge]

give us a bug net and let us go catch aussie creepy crawlies

[midnight moon]

Go play Pokémon

[stray surge]

nooooo.... i want to do that in hunting game...

[midnight moon]

Too bad

You are banished to Pokémon

[round birch]

im just waiting for the day we can mount the mammoth tusk from medved in the lodges XD

[midnight moon]

That could be interesting

[round birch]

yeah

[midnight moon]

what did he mean about its not a reserve?

[mossy atlas]

so it's not a hunting reserve, so like a cattle station maybe?

there's cattle stations in Aus that are bigger then a lot of countries

[tacit hamlet]

The way I took it is neither piccabeen bay or bushranger’s run (classic’s Australian maps) are “reserves”. That means the new map will be based off one of those

[mossy atlas]

he said it's not a reserve though

[tacit hamlet]

Exactly

Neither one are technically “reserves”. One is a “bay” the other is a “run”

[mossy atlas]

kakadu hunting ooh that'd be interesting

[haughty aurora]

Lever action gun pack

[long spade]

i have no idea what that is

[long spade]

God, i wish that was a thing

[long spade]

Station is an Aussie term for ranches, could be

[tacit hamlet]

Station? What does that have to do with anything?

[long spade]

JB said it wasn't a "reserve", like acres or rancho, so it could be called Something Station/ Something Ranch

[graceful dawn]

same thing

portion of land that has wildlife within

[mossy atlas]

it's a famous National park in the Northern part of Australia absolutely beautiful look it up on youtube Kakadu.

[long spade]

Its awesome, and i wish i lived there

or Innisfail

[harsh mist]

Just watching the stream now after work here in Brasil and....got to say that Beard is the best! And yes! Very happy about this New reserve... finalmente

[vital blaze]

THEHUNTER CALL OF THE WILD "THE Grate Wide Open"

Now let's see if @agile mortar will pin that (sorry for the ping)

I did read the rules to see if there's anything about pinging people and didn't see anything

[final depot]

it's the name of the new england song

[vital blaze]

Oh?

[vital blaze]

Oh

[rancid pecan]

Only red kangaroos, grey ones can be hunted freely

[left adder]

It s 100% Australia with the name The Great Wild Open

Oh nvm

But it is Australia

I got excited bro, btw tyk, 7 da-

[left adder]

Grey ones ez free to hunt as long as u have hunting license and gun license if ur using it

I know a guy who lives 4 hrs north and he rescues kangaroos, but if there is a serious injured one he need to shoot, he use 223

[tawdry nebula]

btw The great wild open is nice name tbh

[left adder]

i would prefer an aussie one lik

e

Snags & Snakes

but that whole "not a reserve" is an interesting concept

r we just ognna be plopped in the middle of the bush?

[tawdry nebula]

no I don’t think so but i am sure there going to be bush area

[left adder]

I want a map which is outback fading into rainforest

like bushranger run into piccabeen

[tawdry nebula]

yeah that what I am thinking about

[left adder]

kinda like this

but bigger

[opaque shard]

Idk i think in practise it would look off

[tawdry nebula]

Also I am sure that we will get fallow rework 99%

[left adder]

Next time we gotta ask Jaxy what animal is on reserve emblem

[opaque shard]

Def a roo

[left adder]

I want the announcement to show a emu rather than roo

cos

if there is a roo, emu are not confirmed, however, if there is a emu, that is confirmed and roos are also confirmed cos it is obivous aussie map has to have roos

[opaque shard]

I do not think they would do emus

[left adder]

Hoopefully they do, imagine how amazing it would be

[opaque shard]

Kangaroos are already pretty complex in desgin but emus would a whole different thing

[left adder]

yeah, if there are bantengs i want the og classic design

[opaque shard]

I think they will do a bushrangers reserve now

And save another reserve for a piccabeen one

For longevity

And also it will be simpler and bring more animals

[left adder]

yeah

still would not mine bushranger

it prob unreasonable but

i want all 6 species of deer

kangaroo (both species)

emu

dingo

saltwater crocs

Brumbies

bantengs

buffalo

scrub bulls

feral sheep, goats and pigs

camels

19 species

uh oh

[opaque shard]

One could dream

[left adder]

rev could handle a bunch of small game but those are small

[opaque shard]

The problem would be fitting all those into a map where one is a bushrangers and another is piccabeen

[left adder]

half em

[opaque shard]

There would be too little of area to work with

[left adder]

i hope we get some backfill animals

[left adder]

yeah

[opaque shard]

What kind of backfill?

[left adder]

some actual big game

backfilss

or some new spec backfills

prob not tho

australia already super big

[opaque shard]

Yeah new species backfills sounds nice

[left adder]

Dall to yukon
alpine ibex to medved
Aoudad to rancho

Eland or zebra to vurhonga

[tawdry nebula]

greater kudu

[left adder]

he confirmed we would not be getting new backfills today tho

well at least greater kudu

[tawdry nebula]

what why

[left adder]

idk

he said something about it being hard to implement a giant new species

[opaque shard]

Because there is time or effort needed for it

[left adder]

that they r using

for australia

[opaque shard]

We only got backfills because we got a "recycled" map

New englands

[left adder]

yeah

but thing is

in revontuli

at the top outpost

near a small double lake

[tawdry nebula]

man this gets worse and worse…

First no Africa, then no greater kudu?

[left adder]

there is a HORSE pen

[opaque shard]

Yeah I mean there is one for rancho too but idk

[left adder]

here

[opaque shard]

Horses is just a product from playing rdr

[left adder]

i wanted to try a drive

to get an animal in there

[opaque shard]

Im just worried on how kangaroos will be played

It would be repitive if they also drank with all the other speices

[left adder]

wdym

u dont want frink times

[opaque shard]

Hope they make them only have feed zones to give them a challange

Nah it would be too boring or like the same as before

Make them more unique like turkeys and chemy

[left adder]

i want to see them in crosshairs bro

new class 9 species banteng and buffalo (maybe brumby)?

[fading gorge]

Im curious to see what POI they put in and if they are places I can go camp in real life lol

[left adder]

im watching stream again and soiling myself with excitement

teaser trailer thursday probs

well friday for me

[final stone]

If it's Australia and we don't get bantang I'm having sueing (joke)

There could be so many species and I want them all xD

[humble idol]

Add a MAX emoji for people getting those big boys

[midnight moon]

really?

i don’t think they will put it out that early

[mighty dove]

Did Jaxy say something about a teaser trailer?

[midnight moon]

not that i caught but then again i only watched like half the stream

[mighty dove]

If there’s anything it would be shown next Tuesday

[midnight moon]

sounds like next week we are going to get some good stuff revealed

[fading gorge]

Probably a map reveal stream and trailer like NEM did it went up same time

[restive jungle]

They should go like hersch and have the classic map inside the normal map

[limber cliff]

I don't think I heard anything about a release date for trailers

Just that we didn't want to miss next week's stream

[limber cliff]

Do you have a time stamp of Jaxy ACTUALLY saying thursday?

[left adder]

A bunch of ppl on stream were talking about release dates and they came to conclusion that it was thurday somehow

on chat

I think around 45 minute mark

im not sure though

I do remember somewhere in stream people saying that it will either be thursday or tuesday

im not sure my memory nto best

[fading gorge]

That happened for NEM I think the stream got a non suspicious push to Thursday so they could announce

1 of the release things I recall they said stream will be late no reason given then did the announce

[limber cliff]

Which could have been as simple as something irl came up and needed to push the date -

That said

Unless it was confirmed by a dev or community manager - please don't state dates as fact

[fading gorge]

That or push to get it prepped and closer to a weekend release better sales 😉

[limber cliff]

It leads to offended and hurt feelings by those who take it as hard truth

[limber cliff]

Lawd yes

[left adder]

Im getting so excited over a map i probably cant even play

[fading gorge]

Jaxy has to showcase it for at least 1 week of stream or 2 weeks then creators get a weeks crack at it then release

[left adder]

I might just buy a new console ngl

according to ppl on reddit my console is completely destroyed

[left adder]

I should probably use my console properly and back up files

[peak cedar]

the map won't be out until next month

idk where people even got the idea of this month from 😂

they've always released a map in June, I doubt we're getting one in two weeks

[limber cliff]

To be fair, two weeks is technically June if math is right

That said I think mid June's the earliest I've ever seen a release

[mighty dove]

We might get a teaser trailer or we might get some picture clues. Whatever it is, it’s going to be shown or given during stream next week. That’s why Jaxy said to make sure to tune in because whatever he is showing is going to be really good

I am happy that I am off next Tuesday

[sudden ginkgo]

[sudden ginkgo]

People are grasping at straws

[peak cedar]

in order for a map to be out in two weeks they would have to be set on a date already (I doubt it) plus running it through sony and microsoft for sim launch (I doubt that has been done yet either)

[sudden ginkgo]

Peak intelligence right there, folks

people are dumb

[peak cedar]

EW may change some ideas around but they'll never change basic roadmap layouts

[mighty dove]

It’s my reserve and I want it now

slams fist on table

[sudden ginkgo]

Too bad, you gotta wait like all of us

[mighty dove]

I refuse

I’ll hack into their systems

[peak cedar]

I've been waiting for this longer than most 😏

[sudden ginkgo]

[peak cedar]

I'm just glad they're finally (hopefully) gonna be covering a new area entirely. Not another NA map, European map...

[mighty dove]

They are gonna cover all 50 states of the USA

[silver fog]

Same energy

[sudden ginkgo]

[mighty dove]

Accurate

[silver fog]

But yep. Aussie map's best guess so far still yep?

Honestly just slam the two Classic map rosters together like a sandwich and call it a day

[sudden ginkgo]

[silver fog]

Dewit.

[mighty dove]

Crocodile Dundee is gonna be our Warden

[sudden ginkgo]

[peak cedar]

don't remind me how much of a letdown feral goats were 💀

[silver fog]

Meh they're fine lol

Goats a goat

[peak cedar]

there's 0 variation in horns...

"fine"

[mighty dove]

“This, this is a knife”

[peak cedar]

no "kudu" horns no "ibex" horns...

[silver fog]

They're goats, not deer, wow enough is what I say

[final stone]

We gonna have Steven Irwin telling us abt the animal

More like Robert as well Steven is well

[mighty dove]

Look at that there Kangaroo

gets knocked out

[silver fog]

I dunno about that first half

[peak cedar]

what does deer have to do with goats. 😂

[silver fog]

We see PLENTY of those spiral horns

[peak cedar]

just because they're not deer they can't get love?

[silver fog]

They've got love enough

Besides

The ibex horned feral goats look silly lol

[final stone]

Gonna be standing afk then have some 7ft big ass red roo towering over me

[silver fog]

Just give us actual alpine ibex in the future

[peak cedar]

you've never played Bush rangers or classic enough if you haven't seen kudu horns.

[silver fog]

Like hell, I'd dare say this looks "fine" far as spirals go

[limber cliff]

I just.. I need you to see what you've made, on my phone

A feral deer.

[peak cedar]

regardless though I'll be highly disappointed if it's a straight outback map

[silver fog]

😱

[final stone]

feral deer distant doom music

[peak cedar]

I want a cool MM with a Banteng and Water Buffalo

[jade wyvern]

Water Buffalo or Banteng
Axis
Samber deer
Feral pig
Feral goat
Red Kangaroo
Saltwater croc
Some rabbit species
Austrian waterfowl/ upland birds (no sure about what species)

[tacit hamlet]

I want dingos aswell

And emu would be fun too

[fading gorge]

Dingos are protected

[tacit hamlet]

Oh

Emu still

[fading gorge]

We have weird protection laws here native wildlife have certain protections even if they are plague numbers like roos

Dingos are national park protection but not sure on remote outback rules.

[tacit hamlet]

So you’re telling me there’s a chance?

[stuck tapir]

Says dingo in the big helpful box

[low citrus]

Thing is, kangaroo and dingo can be hunted like it says there but there might be regulations and laws to follow

[tacit hamlet]

Which is the case with most all animals in cotw

[stray surge]

just about to say that

id love for the to be like red and gray kangaroos cause someone mentioned both earlier

would make a cool multi

[tacit hamlet]

Or they could just do one species called “kangaroo” and have a common fur based off reds and greys

[stiff leaf]

kangoo

[fading gorge]

Depends where as I said national parks a big no and Fraser Island big no

[limber cliff]

Fraser Island do be having some good fishing tho

[fading gorge]

Roos also come under a tag system in most areas. Rwcreational limits and monthly tags dlfor commercial harvesting

Dingos on Fraser are like gods lol. Get fed when not meant to and have no predators to contend with

Victoria have put severe restrictions on duck seasons there limited bag amount and now they have a wild duck problem on farmland lol

[languid wedge]

lol

[fading gorge]

I had a great laugh a couple years ago animal rights groups came into duck season hunt zones created a huge fuss and interferred with hunters getting arrested etc then in Spring not long after there was articles about the organic crops being wiped out on a holistic farm by wild ducks

[stray surge]

did they wonder why prices went up or something? lol

[peak cedar]

Both banteng and water buffalo

[jade wyvern]

Yes

[peak cedar]

no reason they can't have both on the same map easily

[wide skiff]

I think I know what Jaxy meant about the new map not being a reserve. It meant that was either a National Park ,open pubic land OR.... it's a private ranch which would allow us to hunt species that are otherwise not are huntable in Austrailia. Kangaroos are only able to be hunted by permit or on private ranches. Emu are hunted on ranches as well.

[fading gorge]

Part of why wondered what sort of rules EW has on protected classes as we have some really weird hunting laws here and permits

[peak cedar]

For my ideal species list it would have to be

Magpie Geese
Grey Teal or Black Duck
Mallard
Red Fox
Dingo
Red Kangaroo or Eastern Grey Kangaroo
Sambar Deer
Rusa Deer
Fallow Deer
Axis Deer
Hog Deer
Banteng
Water Buffalo

plenty of repeats and new stuff

If it doesn't at least have some sort of kangaroo, water fowl or big game it's a flop

[limber cliff]

I want roos an emus. Idgaf about anything else.

Put us on a special game ranch, I don't care

[peak cedar]

I want magpie geese, don't care about other nearly as much

I want people to react to their wing span 😂

[fading gorge]

Never seen one myself. NT is on my lost of most wanted places to visit

[languid wedge]

Lost

[fading gorge]

Was gonna fix it but meh. I type too fast and have fat fingers

[low citrus]

That’s what’s everybody assumed was the case

[wide skiff]

👍

[twilit prism]

The entire outback part of Australia

[fading gorge]

Shall we go bombard Jaxy on the angler stream lol

[twilit prism]

Yes

[carmine blade]

They gotta have saltwater crocs right?

[peak cedar]

they could

not on my ideal list because I think the mechanics for them is clunky

[carmine blade]

They already have gators

[peak cedar]

yeah the coding is there, just not one of my list

but they have saltwater crocs in aussie

[fading gorge]

Crocs are bit of a grey area. Average Joe cant go shoot them need a very strict permit and reason to do it

[jade wyvern]

The reason is it’s a hunting game

[fading gorge]

Yes but EW have said they will not put animals in that are controversial etc. Hence no elephants

Personally I dont care about that pc stuff in a game but companies do

[low citrus]

Jaxy did say recently though that elephants aren’t 100% not going to be added

[tacit hamlet]

So does that mean it’s possible or not?

[low citrus]

It is possible yes

But very slim chance

[fading gorge]

It will be a DLC just for you and money goes to elephant charities

We put elephants in YAY. You gotta buy access boo. EW yep they still love/hate us

[peak cedar]

they say that like it hasn't been changed before

when polar bear were added to classic, there was a limited time you could hunt them and only in certain situations. Like if they charged at you iirc you could take one. Now they're just another huntable species in that game because enough people fussed and they added them

if enough people fussed about elephants in cotw you bet they would add them. Just not enough people want them bad enough

[glacial summit]

I just dont think elephants can be balanced properly

And I feel like there would be to many bugs

and we dont really have anywhere to put them in lodges

They would need a new class as well

[mighty dove]

New Class - Humongous

[glacial summit]

On top of that render only being 400 is totally ruining the immersion with that big of an animal but thats just a personal thing

If they do add them I really hope they have a small population and aren't everywhere

[fading gorge]

Your dog has found some scat...... No shit he is laying in a big ol elephant turd.

[outer geyser]

Are there any animals you think will not happen in the next map?

Like Banteng and camels I feel like are 50/50

Just as a outback reserve may focus more on deer

[glacial summit]

I dont think we will see dall sheep

[long spade]

feral donkeys, would be a cool hunt, but ppl would NOT be too happy

[glacial summit]

lmao

[long spade]

fixed it

[outer geyser]

Going to be a long week waiting to find out lol

Going to be interesting to think what we may get as new species

As Rancho had - 5 new species

[glacial summit]

Nem had all new species!

[outer geyser]

Mississippi had - like 5 or 6

and then Finland has like 10

[glacial summit]

Didnt nem have 1 new species

[outer geyser]

Yeah just the teal

[glacial summit]

I still dont get it

very lazy performancebto reuse all but 1 birb

[outer geyser]

The problem is Finland was a crazy good map and they had a tough time probs thinking of a map to follow if they wanted to do the back fill

NEM was okay, but like you said, just 1 new species and it was a duck

This new map however could have 5 or more new species which is exciting

[glacial summit]

the map is cool but not a single person asked for it

they should have released that when they released Mississippi and never made the miss ippi map

[outer geyser]

I agree, I enjoy hunting alligators, but NEM would probs have been pretty popular around Mississippi as all the species in that map would have been new like Raccoons and quail.

After Finland it kind of lacked the excitement that a new map should have had imo

[glacial summit]

its fine to not have a map with 10 new species like rev but to have 1 thats a bird on a map no one asked for is just mind-boggling to me

and then following up with a third weapon pack in a row that has no new calibers

to be fair the clas system doesn't work well for new calibers but still

[outer geyser]

Finland is my fav map. I know it lacks big game, but the amount of life the map has is so exciting. You can literally walk for 5 mins and find things to shoot.

I think this AU map is really exciting as Jaxxy said "I think we have nailed it"

Which means I think we going to get a good line up of new things

My best bet is Kangaroos are 100% confirmed

A new deer species (or more) is very likely

A big class 8 or 9 animal is 50/50 as camels and Banteng are requested

[coarse lintel]

I mean kangaroos are a must for an Australian map, otherwise it would be like Alaska with no moose

[glacial summit]

Or dall sheep

oh wait

[coarse lintel]

Yeah for some reason dall sheep get thrown under the bus by every company. Hs2, woth and cotw don't have dall sheep

the last good hunting game that had them was classic

[outer geyser]

I think Dall sheep are going to come

[coarse lintel]

of course hs2 nowhere near good xD

[peak cedar]

I pray it's not outback

if so maybe 1/3 of the map can be "outback" just imagine an open terrain with little hills and very sparse vegetation and render being 400m

it's like shooting animals in a box

[twilit prism]

I think it will be 1/4 out back, 1/4 scrubland, 1/4 tropical, and then 1/4 of more of a billabong

[outer geyser]

They could really nail this map if they did it right

A new antler species

A new class 9 species

Camels or horses

This could be the biggest game map we have had since Africa

Plus Kangaroos, A new gamebird, maybe dingos

Maybe Magpie Goose of waterfowl

[quaint tinsel]

I just like that between NEM and the Australia map I could potentially have two maps that each remind me of my different homes

Is naisu

[glacial summit]

justice for dall sheep

[grand cipher]

Agreed

[peak cedar]

Cotw sort of has them if you paint the bighorn white 💀

[mortal lark]

https://youtu.be/80pVlFKG_Eo

[jade wyvern]

The big horn in game looks garbage

Classic looks so much better

[peak cedar]

WOTH look the best

Cotw failed miserably in thag department 😂

The horns are wrong, the legs are soft and the bodies are too fat. They didn’t get any part of them right

Short

Soft? 😂

[unique roost]

I think that cotw really needs an X-ray system like woth or cable as games

[wind ridge]

That is a distinctive feature of cabelas developers, copying it would be plagiarism

[peak cedar]

That…that’s not how that works lol

[low citrus]

The recent remodels have been looking far better to be fair

We’re still a decent ways away from being really good but it’s not nearly as bad as you make it out to be

[unique roost]

Is WOTH a cabelas title?

[blazing turtle]

No

[wind ridge]

Same developer studio

[blazing turtle]

Activision is the one that did a vast majority of the Cabelas games

[peak cedar]

the bighorn?! that's the only model I was describing

they're terrible lol

[wind ridge]

Activision is the publisher, the studio that develops the games is Cauldron

[peak cedar]

pretty much every model in cotw passes, some are better than others. Don't say they put nearly as much time in some vs others though. cough RED DEER cough

[wind ridge]

Cauldron (Activision publisher) > Cauldron (Bohemian Interactive) > Nine rock Games (THQ)
Same studio, just change the name according to who buys it each time xD

[blazing turtle]

Doesn’t mean Way of the Hunter is a Cabelas’s title

[peak cedar]

if it was it would literally say "Cabelas" on the title of it lol

[wind ridge]

Cabelas was a sponsoring trademark, it is no longer one, so I don't see the reason for it to carry the same name, however, the mechanics and design can continue to be used as they are characteristics of the developer studio and the bullet layout and the xray are a characteristic of them, a system they already know and can freely replicate

[muted lion]

So is it Australia?

[midnight moon]

a pretty high chance it is

unless they are trying to completely throw us off

[wind ridge]

That is what all the clues we have point to, at least in what we all agree xD

[quaint lintel]

If it was ... predators would've been predators lol

[blazing turtle]

Nah, the predators would be overly aggressive heat-seeking fur missiles

[peak cedar]

it's aussie, they would have said something to direct people another way if this many people were wrong lol

because trust me, worst thing you could ever do in any company is direct people to believing one thing and giving everyone what they didn't expect and it turns into a massive disappointment chain reaction.

[low citrus]

Literally GO moose release

[glacial summit]

This might be EWs strategy at least 71% of the time

[peak cedar]

for the most part...most long term players are CCs

I wanna know the turnover with players in the playerbase. I know a LOT of people who stopped playing the game

I haven't played since February 6th

[glacial summit]

Hard to keep a lot of longtime players when nobody knows your next move...

[long spade]

What small game are we hoping for? I want wallabies alongside my kangaroos personally, so they can be backfilled to Te Awaroa

[peak cedar]

they may not publicly share road maps but people who have been around a while know a general idea

[round birch]

Magpie Geese, Black Swans, and Paradise Shelducks

[quaint lintel]

I'll forgive if it's Africa 2.0 lol

[round birch]

Jaxy confirmed the next map isn't going to be africa 2.0

[mortal lark]

at this point it’s pretty much confirmed to be australia tbh

[round birch]

yeah

[long spade]

Sorry, but after the last two maps, i'm sick of waterfowl

[glacial summit]

arctic map circle map>

sadly not this time

[low citrus]

I need more upland fowl in my life

[long spade]

you have rev, that not enuf?

[stiff leaf]

piccabeen bay from thc in cotw is what i want

even though i barely played thc i liked that map

[long spade]

never played classic, always wanted to try bushranger's and piccabeen

[deft fern]

The view from my morning commute. This makes me excited to possibly hunt in Australia! This type of terrain is super common in Victoria. Farmland that backs right onto mountains. I'm so excited!!!!

[midnight moon]

fully agree

[deft fern]

The fog rolling in, the mystery of the mountain. My curiosity is running wild

[peak cedar]

I more curious what they meant by this is gonna be more different than anything done before in the game

[twilit prism]

Do you think we'll see a trailer tomorrow

Or next Tuesday

[low citrus]

Probably next Tuesday

[deft fern]

I'm guessing next Tuesday

Possibly only a teaser too

The actual trailer will probably be another week

[deft fern]

NPCs? Graphics overhaul? New way to hunt? Now you've sparked my interest

[low citrus]

Probably the map layout and how zones work on the map

That’s my guess

[twilit prism]

I don't know. Maybe or maybe not

[peak cedar]

I don't expect a full on trailer tuesday

maybe a teaser tbh

[final depot]

something new?

[languid wedge]

Nah probably not until next week

[left adder]

wednesday go brrrrrr

[left adder]

Teaser Definetly, no concrete evidence but there is some

[left adder]

Pls australia

like 100% confirm

if they say it something else im done with this game

[limber cliff]

We will find out more come Tuesday

Likely we get map name and potentially the teaser for it

Possibly find out some of the species

[left adder]

I really thought great wild open was name of it

I wonder how the whole "not a reserve" thing will be like

[limber cliff]

Nope. Just a song haha

[left adder]

i saw on spotify and i got excited thinking it was new soundtrack

[left adder]

That song was Waltzing Matilda, I grew up listening to it

[peak cedar]

I’m glad that’s not the name because that name sucks for a map ngl

[long spade]

Hey Jaxy, you can be as vague as ya like, but could you tell us if you're more interested in the terrain or the animals of the new map?

[mighty dove]

He’s gonna be like I like the dirt and grass

[limber cliff]

"The air smells nice"

[mighty dove]

That one cloud looked like a dog

[limber cliff]

"My dog is the cutest on this map in particular in this precise lighting"

[mossy atlas]

I tried to shazam the music behind jaxy from the stream, but didn't find anything I think because Jaxy doesn't stop talking at all while it's playing so can't get a clean grab of it without his booming voice over the top.

[mighty dove]

If someone can edit him to not be talking you could possibly do it

[mossy atlas]

I don't know how to do that

[mighty dove]

I like how far we’d be willing to go just to find out what the song is lol

Someone else might can

[fading gorge]

I did it that day after the stream lol

Tyk clipped it I used a free online splitter to separate vocals to instrumentals

[mossy atlas]

I also thought maybe people got the clue wrong about upside down and maybe it was he is in New Zealand and upside down is the opposite side of the world to where he was but that puts him in Portugal, which is basically where Cuatro is, so still think my top pick is Australia.

[mossy atlas]

could you dm me that I'd like to hear it

[fading gorge]

I did it on computer but cause it was a free splitter wouldnt let me save so I just filmed playback with phone

This was 1st vid I edited from Tyk as the way Jaxy is talking there his tone and words meant there was a clue there in my mind and after he said it was only a portion of the song that another random cut in I sat listening and laughed.

[mighty dove]

Jaxy: sweating

[stiff leaf]

☠️

overthinking it

[mossy atlas]

yeah thought might have been an overthink there

[fading gorge]

Australia has always been nicknamed the upside down land

[mortal lark]

killclynton already made a video

[mossy atlas]

on youtube at 59:18 Jaxy looks at his other monitor and says "it wasn't me, Chat started talking about Australia" like he was talking to his bosses.

[mortal lark]

apparently it’s waltzing matilda

[mossy atlas]

no, it's not

I'm Australian and have heard walzing matilda since a kid and that is not it

[mighty dove]

I don’t watch them so that figures

I’ll have to check it out

[fading gorge]

I was the one left the comment on his vid telling him it was Waltzing 😂. He used his musical knowledge to pick up the key tone but didnt know our songs.

[mossy atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV9axV_Bi3E

[fading gorge]

Kind of comical as I joked with Tyk after stream and she was clipping the music sections I said if I hear Waltzing Mathilda I am laughing and leaving chat quietly. That was what I did

[mossy atlas]

hope that's ok, its walzing matilda guitar cover

[fading gorge]

Had a feeling it would be that as its 1 if the 1st songs people overseas think about Aussies. Being non copyright too meant could be played safely I guess.

[mossy atlas]

I honestly don't hear it

[fading gorge]

On the computer it was clear as day. That vid was me filming my pc and the speakers playing it so fairly distorted. Was 4am was too lazy to find a video overlay recorder to do that then edit the video.

If you see KillClyntons vid he mentions he had to look up a few versions as they change a bit

This is the one KC refers to in his vid as 1 convinced him https://youtu.be/AtBMWieWmsc

Had to dig to find that 1 too as he didnt list it lol

[mossy atlas]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxy2VK_CCjI6ELKadewTgHv-DOS5kEoJ4T

that was the part clipped from stream with the music

[fading gorge]

Yeah that was the clip I got from Tyk and used untwitch to download then put into the extracter

[limber cliff]

Wait were my clips used for official things

O:

[fading gorge]

Hahaha nooooooo

The ones you posted I used untwitch to download 1 then I put the mp4 into lalal ai to remove the vocals

[fading gorge]

KC did it another way I just commented on his vid the way I did it and song I found

[limber cliff]

I was like 'awfuk. My clip gon be famoose'

[fading gorge]

Sorry dont get the signing pen out yet.

[mossy atlas]

sorry for another link but to me the start of this sounds more like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSovtE1Phac

another famous Australian song/poem called the man from snowy river

[fading gorge]

I dont hear that at all sorry.

Thats also not part of the song just guitar picking by that person

This is man from snowy. Slowed down doesnt seem the start of this even https://youtu.be/rW7rgnNqgjE

Anyway either way I dont really care as long as maps Australia as I want a home map and to see what region and POI they put in I know

[mossy atlas]

yeah you may be right

I don't think it sounds like waltzing matilda though

[fading gorge]

I have heard Waltzing nearly daily as a kid in school.

I could go through extract and do it again on the pc with proper record insteqd of phone but really not my thing fiddling around all that stuff lol.

[tacit current]

yeah its not waltzing matilda. waltzing matilda has a pretty standard progression. whatever the song is in the stream certainly had some uncommon cadences

[mossy atlas]

I think it's basically confirmed by the whole upside down thing anyway

[fading gorge]

Waltzing can be played at many tempos

Jaxy also saud it was only a portion of the song as a random one was cut in at end

Not long to wait for news. I hate waiting that gap between news and then creators playing it

[mossy atlas]

Jaxy is gonna see these theories and laugh

[sudden ginkgo]

[fading gorge]

Its keeping me from getting muted by Cashnip asking any news daily so thats a plus

[sudden ginkgo]

I wouldn’t be too confident about that

[fading gorge]

All I ask is for a mix of bushranger and piccabeen

and a boomerang

some digeriedoo playing would be a sweet addition

it was painfully obvious that you wanted to reveal it so bad but you couldnt lmao

[agile mortar]

Idk what your talking about..

😇

[mossy atlas]

I liked it when you were talking at one of your other monitors saying "it's chat that bought it up not me"

[agile mortar]

Hahaa

[mellow narwhal]

hey ho new player here, just a short question, Epic Games Store mega sale just started but none of the DLCs have a discount unlike on Steam, will this change or is this always the case

[sudden ginkgo]

epic does their sales when they do their sales

[mossy atlas]

oh yeah, New great one coming (which jaxy basically confirmed 2 weeks ago) gotta be elk or Fallow, I'm leaning towards fallow, mostly because I'd prefer to hunt them.

[agile mortar]

I did just enquire about this but today is a bank holiday in Sweden. My understanding with our sales is each platform is treated differently depending on that specific platform. I'd say what they have running will be it this time around.

May hear something back tomorrow.

[mellow narwhal]

Okay thank you very much for answering! ❤️

[mossy atlas]

tbh they are very cheap for such a quality product esp the maps,the time it takes just exploring the maps is worth the very affordable price they are up for

[vital blaze]

☹️

[mellow narwhal]

true but I´m new and wanted to buy most of them, and then a small discount is nice to have! 🙂

[agile mortar]

Totally get it. It all adds up!

Never any harm in asking. Wish I was more help but I'm not involved in the sales. Community is my thing 😉

[mellow narwhal]

haha yea, sorry for bothering you I just didn´t know where else to ask :S

[agile mortar]

Never bothering me!

[mighty dove]

If you were really for the community you’d tell us what animals will be on the map 🥺

[vital blaze]

Hey jaxy I have a question if it's ok to ask

[agile mortar]

Now thats not fair lol think I already did too much 🤪

[fast verge]

or he would do the reveal stream this week instead of waiting til next one 🙂

[mighty dove]

I have to shoot my shot

[vital blaze]

How far ahead is EW working on

[agile mortar]

Ahhh ya. I can't really talk about that stuff I'm afraid

[mossy atlas]

Been waiting for an Aussie map for years really hyped but also need to go to bed it's almost 2am

[vital blaze]

So this could be the last ever DLC but well never know 😯

[fast verge]

how come?

[mossy atlas]

nah africa 2 will be the last one they do for this game, but I'd say they will be well into working on the next evolution of hunting games by then

[outer geyser]

I wish we knew how many new species are on the new map, My guess is 15

[vital blaze]

Cotw2? I say no thanks

[mossy atlas]

I was thinking they'd do 8-10 species, but can name many more

[vital blaze]

I don't want to spend 60$ just to play another hunting game with the same exact feel

[quaint lintel]

Why is it taking FOREVER for Tuesday to COOOOMMMEEEE?!!!!!!

[mossy atlas]

i mean classic feels very dated at the moment and in a few years COTW will feel equally dated I'm sure, just like nintendo and sega games are dated/retro compared to modern games

[vital blaze]

I hope the new maps sky is green and the grass is blue 😍

[agile mortar]

Because time is near standing still

[quaint lintel]

It's been what, 2 weeks since last stream? That's how I feel lol

[agile mortar]

Few months...

[quaint lintel]

Pretty much xD

[agile mortar]

I'm right there with ya

[vital blaze]

How long dose it take to make the maps

[quaint lintel]

I just hope it really is Australia and we'll get over 15 species again like last 2 maps

[fast verge]

deers, rabbit and the crocodile can be carried over from existing spiecies, problably some birds also.

[vital blaze]

Also jaxy who did this

[outer geyser]

Jaxxy, I know you can NOT CONFIRM OR DENY, but is this map coming up one of your fav?

[sudden ginkgo]

how close are you to gargantua?

[mossy atlas]

My personal hope is it feels like revontuli with how alive the map is, always animals around

[agile mortar]

I.. errr... download links are scary 🤣

[fast verge]

convert to jpg and attacht directly like normal person

[vital blaze]

It showed as an image when I put it up thare

[quaint lintel]

Yea, we're for sure NOT getting Koalas, Dolphins, Tasmanian devils, flying foxes, platypus or albatross

[agile mortar]

Bit of a drive. It's close to the Alberta border

[low citrus]

Lame imagine not being 20 minutes from the coast

[fast verge]

if i recall correctly some animals were to be carried over from existing pools, but this does not mean that there wont be any new ones added

[quaint lintel]

Wait, are those Jaxy's doing? I thought it was just Devs messing around lol

[sudden ginkgo]

twas an interstellar reference and i am sad that it was missed

[vital blaze]

I'm fixing it hold on

[agile mortar]

I looked at this and thought "wth, that's a bat! What's a flying fox" 🤣

[agile mortar]

Oh hahahaha that's a real place here though and extremely cool to visit

[sudden ginkgo]

well then

[agile mortar]

It's these crazy caves that never end.

[mossy atlas]

flying fox is similar to a bat but they run around trees, NOT hunted, very illegal to hunt, same as koalas, platypus, echidna, dolphins

[quaint lintel]

Jaxy you think with the reveal next Tuesday, we'll also get some sort of a trailer at the end?

[sudden ginkgo]

one hour on that planet is seven years our time
(gargantua is not the name of the planet btw)

[agile mortar]

Well, no comment lol but Tuesday is going to be fun

[quaint lintel]

Ofc, you can neither Confirm nor deny 😂

[agile mortar]

Ya I know the movie well. It's that massive black hole

[sudden ginkgo]

peek-a-boo!

[vital blaze]

Also I just notesed

[sudden ginkgo]

*supermassive, to be specific

[smoky knot]

I don't think we're getting anything major like species reveals until the week after the next but that's just IMO

[vital blaze]

We had hints for the past 6 months

[low citrus]

Where on earth did you find these

[quaint lintel]

I think we're due for a 30 sec teaser

[sudden ginkgo]

it's the inflate one!

[smoky knot]

I wouldn't say due but it just depends on what EW is gonna allow Jaxy to say and reveal

[mossy atlas]

I'm hoping for Sambar deer, rusa or hog deer, kangaroos, maybe 2 species red/grey, banteng, maybe saltwater crocs, but as someone who has lived in a saltwater croc area they scare me and maybe a couple foul species and Pigs/fallow as returning, maybe feral goats too

[quaint lintel]

I would want camels too

[vital blaze]

That's ware thay are

[smoky knot]

But we're all hoping for a teaser or trailer on Tuesday just I don't know if we'll get one this soon

[mossy atlas]

ooh yeah camels

[fast verge]

it's probably going to be released in late june, so the info will trickle down for next 3-4 streams

[vital blaze]

Fennec fox would be awesome

[mossy atlas]

Jaxy said they were going shorter distance this time, maybe it will be early june

[fast verge]

if the release date can be revealed on 30.05 stream, then maybe yes. i think the date was released roughly 2 weeks before it was avaliable

not that this is 100% sure pattern that EW has to follow

[coarse lintel]

Aw no Xbox leaks yet xD.

[twilit prism]

Yeah. He said when they say go it will be available

It won't be a wait two weeks. Maybe just like a week

[fading gorge]

Im on 6 days off in 2hrs can I get an advance copy to play and rate.

[limber cliff]

Throwback to Flying Fox convo: They're part of the megabat family and I love them

[peak cedar]

another red deer map imagine 💀

only half the maps in the game have them

[low citrus]

Moose and whitetail are on 5 maps each. Red deer are on 4

[quaint lintel]

Black bear too

[blazing turtle]

We could continue to use a break from all 4 Species

[tacit hamlet]

Huh?

[low citrus]

BB are on 4 too iirc

Layton, SRP, Mississippi and NEM

[tacit hamlet]

Oh nvm

[twilit prism]

Pigs as well
