[frail tusk]

those are african

[vital blaze]

Ik

[peak cedar]

we have enough of them all

Black Bear, Wild Boar, Red Deer, Whitetail

[tacit hamlet]

It wouldn’t hurt for wild boar to have another map. They’re only on 3

[outer geyser]

These are just a selection of animals and possible mounts I would love from an Australia map:

Big Boxer: 2 x Male Kangaroos

Lets Bounce! 1 x Male and 1 x female Kangaroo

Feral Spirits: 1 x Male Feral Goat, Feral Pig and Feral Camel

Hump-three: 3 X Male Feral Camel

Huddle Sambar: 3 x Male Sambar deer

Bilabong Clash: 1 X Male Saltwater Crocodile and 1 x Male Banteng

Jaws of Death: 1 X male Fallow deer and 1 X male Saltwater Crocodile

What do you want to see?

[stark storm]

If we do get salties any mount with them attacking something would be my number one

Really love the predator prey mounts we def need more of them

[jade wyvern]

Saltie and feral hog

I doubt we get camels but every thing else sounds perfect

Trophy lodge has so much room to improve its insane

[peak cedar]

I can't imagine a camel in cotw

that's just a weird concept to me

[gray cedar]

big salty as great one 🙂 Power to the Prehistoric Lizard

[peak cedar]

If they have Sambar and Rusa, I would love a multi-mount with them as well

[muted gazelle]

Multi mount where it is all of an species fur patterns, it be an amazing thing to look at

[low citrus]

Wild boar? Man you’re tripping

[peak cedar]

people barely hunt them as is 😂

[uneven bloom]

Boar are on:
Hirsch
Medved
Cuatro
and that's it

[peak cedar]

putting them on a new map would not change much 💀

[slim lodge]

Fr though if I see a whitetail get added I'm gonna start crying

[low citrus]

Are whitetail even in Australia?

[slim lodge]

Mate even if there's just 1 that escaped a zoo

[low citrus]

Cuatro and Medved are both fantastic for wild boar so it’s not like they could get an even better map, but I wouldn’t mind getting them again

[slim lodge]

EW will make it the main animal in the map

[limber cliff]

AUS also has Black Swans

which, iirc, are the biggest of swans?

THAT would be a fun bird

[peak cedar]

as long as we get magpie too 😛

[low citrus]

Trumpeter Swan is

It’s the largest species of waterfowl in the world

[limber cliff]

ah yeah

[slim lodge]

Killing swans is illegal in any commonwealth country

[limber cliff]

whyd I forget they existed?

[limber cliff]

They're permissable by tag and lottery

[slim lodge]

They are protected under the same law as white swans

[limber cliff]

requires circumstances

[slim lodge]

I dont think circumcision will change anything

[low citrus]

The largest species of huntable waterfowl is the Canada goose iirc

[peak cedar]

lmao this just reminds me when they release SRP, one of the best maps in the game and then say turkey were the main focus

like absolutely not 😂

[low citrus]

Well Tbf it was an animal with an entirely new rig. Same thing with Mississippi and gators

[limber cliff]

According to that snapshot there, though, wood ducks might be an option

[slim lodge]

Can't wait for the Canada goose to make the long trans Pacific flight to become yhe main bird in Australia

[low citrus]

Plus people really wanted turkey hunting in the game at that point

[limber cliff]

I dont think this word means what you think it means

[peak cedar]

turkey hype lasted less than NEM hype

[low citrus]

😟

[slim lodge]

I dont recall there being much hype for NEM

A lot of us were pissed that is was North America again

[low citrus]

The only reason people were hyped is because they lived there

[limber cliff]

^

[slim lodge]

The features that came during the update were cool

moose fur

[peak cedar]

the grinders loved the idea, until people realized the map has a crap layout

in terms of zones and home ranges

[tacit hamlet]

I was semi excited because of all the Mississippi exclusives on a new map

[low citrus]

I still think that visually it’s one of the best maps in the game with a decent roster of species, but the main thing was the changes and new content it brought alongside the map

[low citrus]

Same

Raccoon are infinitely better on NEM than they are on Mississippi

[slim lodge]

There isn't a single bad looking map tbh

[peak cedar]

visually means nothing to me personally if I can't see more than 150 meters

[low citrus]

Rancho

[slim lodge]

Maybe Parque because of the Tranzit ass fog that hides all of the axis deer

[peak cedar]

parque looks bad at distance

[quaint lintel]

Next Great One is either Fallow deer, Red fox or Wild Boar because all of those can be on Australian map and 2 of them are already on 3 maps

[low citrus]

Parque is on the weaker side but by no means is it bad

[peak cedar]

even on ultra everything...

[low citrus]

It’s most likely gonna be fallow deer

I’m calling it now

[slim lodge]

If thats the case then

Aussie or GB

As they both have fallows

[low citrus]

It’s gonna be Australia. There’s no doubt about it

[peak cedar]

I'm actually putting money on red fox, but we'll see

[slim lodge]

The new great one is always in the map coming out correct?

[limber cliff]

boar would make me sad

[slim lodge]

There is so much untapped potential in the UK 😦

[low citrus]

No actually

[muted gazelle]

Warthog are boar like

[peak cedar]

EW always has some sort of curveball and every is pretty set on aussie

[uneven bloom]

Unless we get a fallow remodel with the update, I'm thinking red fox as well

[peak cedar]

so what is it 🤨

[slim lodge]

Do Feral pigs have the same scoring as boars?

[low citrus]

Whitetail and red deer GOs were both released outside of new map content didn’t contain either, same with BB and Revontuli

[low citrus]

Iirc yes

[slim lodge]

So they're just boars

[low citrus]

Warthogs are the only pig species hat doesn’t make it at 144.something

[slim lodge]

But with a DLC skin pack

[quaint lintel]

Could be the wild boar and here's my theory.
After having one deer GO on both Layton and Hirshch, they made a predator GO, their choices were bear, fox or the boar, they chose bear and it was the second Layton GO, so now I think the second Hirshch GO they'll also make a predator, either fox or boar

I rather it be a fox

[low citrus]

Moose GO exists right now, it’s a deer species

[slim lodge]

It'll be a great one Merriam Turkey

[quaint lintel]

Yea, but they gave Layton a predator GO before 2nd deer GO, so they might do the same to Hirshchfelden

[low citrus]

Fallow deer makes perfect sense because A. They are one of the most requested GO species and B. Grinding them would be piss easy and people don’t like hard grinds

[low citrus]

Maybe. We’ll just have to see lol

[slim lodge]

Also it gives them an excuse to rework them and maybe roes too

[quaint lintel]

I WANT fallow, just thinking outside the box lol

[slim lodge]

The real great one is the friends made along the way

[low citrus]

Doubt it’s gonna be a Layton species

[quaint lintel]

Red deer need rework and we already got a GO for it ... they can add another Fabled fur for the GO after reworking them

[peak cedar]

Just seems like they reworked Red Fox out of nowhere, yeah they needed love, but so did coyote and such. Which are still the original looks. Just seems like they went out of their way for Red Fox for no reason right now

[low citrus]

Red deer don’t really need a remodel. Just a fur retexturing

[slim lodge]

So it will probably be like, Boar, Roe or Fallow

Possibly elk

[peak cedar]

Red Deer literally got months of dev time dedicated to them on the side

[low citrus]

It’s most likely not gonna be a Layton species

[peak cedar]

they're fine

only species in the game besides roe deer iirc that had truRACS redone from ground up

[quaint lintel]

If Australia, they can have there Fallow, boar and a fox, so the 5th GO in COTW is one of those 3, I'm calling it Right Now!

[peak cedar]

they even added "neck fluff" to the red deer. The amount of attention that went into them is quite annoying

[slim lodge]

I'm pretty sure that's a defining aspect of what makes a red deer so special

[peak cedar]

elk literally have the same thing, but didn't get near as high of quality

[slim lodge]

Elk are only in one map though

Well, rockies are

[peak cedar]

yeah and how do you explain red deer being level 9? 😂

[quaint lintel]

Someone made this edit, not mine, but this makes me REALLY want GO Fallow deer

[slim lodge]

I dont need to explain gash because I don't make the game

[peak cedar]

nobody can properly explain it because it makes 0 sense 😂 the levels for animals anyways

it's like why are whitetail 3 and blacktail 5? 😂

[slim lodge]

I think we maybe need to keep our expectations down

[low citrus]

Holy fuck that looks awesome

[quaint lintel]

No, the question should be why are Whitetail 3 and Raccons 5 lol

[peak cedar]

are they 5?

I don't hunt them lol

[low citrus]

Well iirc animal levels are also an indication of how hard they are to hunt

[quaint lintel]

Yea racoons go to lvl 5

[slim lodge]

We're starting to expect things from EW now, so if they take an extra month to work on something or decide not to add a GO then people will get pissed

[peak cedar]

So a red deer is equally as hard to hunt as a lion 💀

[tacit hamlet]

The higher the level the more alert they are

[slim lodge]

One word

foxes

[tacit hamlet]

A 1 is nowhere near as alert as a 9

[quaint lintel]

Moose should've gone to lvl 9

[low citrus]

Well yeah that falls into what I said. They’re more alert, can more easily detect you, yeah it makes them harder to hunt

[low citrus]

Moose should be a class 9 fr

[slim lodge]

Thats a lie

[quaint lintel]

Wait, are we talking about class or lvl?

[slim lodge]

The number of times a red hind gives away my position whilst the stag is just sat there vibing

[low citrus]

Both I think

[tacit hamlet]

I’m talking level

[muted gazelle]

Why

[peak cedar]

that is pretty accurate actually

[tacit hamlet]

Distance from you plays a part aswell

[peak cedar]

happens all the time in game lol

[slim lodge]

Also if you know your deer species, you'd know that sika are much much much more skittish than a red, yet they have half as many levels of difficulty

And Roes

[low citrus]

Sika deer lack a brain you can’t tell me otherwise

[peak cedar]

I hope they add sambar and they're just as stupid in cotw as classic 😂

you can walk right up to them in classic as long as you walk up from behind

[round birch]

same dude. that looks sick

also hoping that Australia has Feral Camels

[midnight moon]

what are all the australian species in the hunter classic?

[uneven bloom]

There are two Australia maps in Classic
the first, Bushrangers Run, has:
European Rabbit
Red Fox
Axis Deer
Feral Goat
Feral Hog
Red Kangaroo

the second, Piccabeen Bay, has:
Magpie Goose
Rusa Deer
Feral Hog
Sambar Deer
Banteng
Water Buffalo

...at least, that's what I remember.

honestly, I wouldn't complain about getting another goat map.

[languid wedge]

You are correct on both

[round birch]

crossing my fingers that Banteng, Rusa Deer, and Sambar Deer all make a return

[uneven bloom]

Banteng is actually an example of an endangered animal they can pull off using IRL reasoning

the Australia population is both invasive and too inbred to be worth anything to conservation efforts iirc

[round birch]

yeah

[glacial summit]

Hope its a little more than just one of the classic maps with cotw graphics

[round birch]

yeah

[peak cedar]

mashing both together 👌

[peak cedar]

Species wise. It's what the majority wants

maybe camels but honestly I don't see that fitting in cotw for some reason

[mighty dove]

I’d be shooting their hump

Would that count as flesh or spine?

/j

[coarse lintel]

Yes

[long spade]

Feral camels, donkeys or cattle would be good to see in game. get some attention to the problems a lot of Australia is dealing with

[stray surge]

give us an emu war mission

like post us up on a machine gun and let us mow down some emu

[limber stump]

No we are going to the moon

[quasi holly]

OH MY GOD FINALLY AN AUSTRALIAN MAP

YEARS ive been waiting for this YEARS

would not be surprised if this is gonna be the last map they add

[limber cliff]

They have already said there's still life in the roadmap, so...

[quasi holly]

oh good

[quasi holly]

when was this?

if there is more info

[limber cliff]

In one of the recent streams iirc

[quasi holly]

ah

[limber cliff]

Do I have an exact timestamp? Nah. I just peeled my eyes open

[mellow narwhal]

@agile mortar Hey! Sorry for bothering you again, but I have another short question: I started playing the game like 1-2 weeks ago and was really sad to find out that I missed the free skins giveaway you did during eastern by just a few days. Is there a chance they will become available again or are they gone forever? o.O

[gray cedar]

oh they so are, you go down the river/lake where they dwell, hand your little kid a slice of bread, stand back and watch the show 🙂

[limber cliff]

As the kid who was constantly doing this, I see no problems here

My grandad had a flock of guard birds

including but not limited to: Peafowl, geese, 3 guineafowl, and one swan who would come visit

and I ended up thriving in the group of'em

I may have been the most protected child in the neighborhood 😂

[gray cedar]

lol

awesome.

i gave my daughter some bread at the local swan lake when she was about 3, poor thing got chased for ages. I'm trying to feel bad

3 black swans and a white, which under the circumstances lets call it albino

probably scarred me kid for life, but the swans are relentless its hilarious

[limber cliff]

😂

Poor kid

[jade thicket]

my father in law once caught a swan with his hands. we were fishing and we noticed one had fishing line round its neck. it was basically screwed. you could tell the partner swan was concerned. so we threw bread to them to get closer. he managed to grab it put under his arm and he got the fishing line off. after that they both stayed with us. you could tell it was thankful.

[vital blaze]

New sounds for red deer

For some reason my game won't give red deer sound

[limber cliff]

Red deer are borked rn

[vital blaze]

Thay have been for a long time

[jade wyvern]

Literally make this the new map. Add 2 other bird species and it’s perfect

[vivid cosmos]

Aren’t Rusa, Sambar, Water Buffalo and banteng Asiatic animals?

And axis

[mortal lark]

yeah but they’re introduced to australia

[vivid cosmos]

Australia’s ecosystem is a manmade mess sometimes

[muted gazelle]

More Joke posts about new weapons that you are thinking about adding

[quaint lintel]

It's been 3 years since last E.W. stream ...

[low citrus]

The future is bleak. Many have gone into starving after the nation’s food supplies have dwindled down to nothing. Many fight over what’s left. The rest suffer. I couldn’t even try to count how many days it’s been since EW has last streamed. What few loyalists are left desperately wait for an announcement. Will what they promised so long ago finally come? Or are they waiting for a miracle. Something that will never happen…

[quaint lintel]

That's what I'm saying lol

[low citrus]

Tuesday couldn’t come any sooner

I mostly just can’t wait to find out how many species it has

For, y’know

[stray surge]

great one emu 🤑🤑🤑🤑

great one kangaroo🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

great one crocodile 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[glacial summit]

Great one of a species that is not one of those>>

[mighty dove]

Imagine someone ruins the GO crocodile with a missed skull shot

[smoky knot]

Imagine if the brain is the only vital in a GO croc

[mighty dove]

Imagine that the croc disappears because the lung shot did not kill it in time

[round birch]

or it just straight up explodes XD

[limber cliff]

Ionwanna

[glacial summit]

Dont tell us what your plan is! more fun a surprise

[haughty storm]

[solemn silo]

So has the new map been confirmed or is everyone just sure off of the hints?

[twilit prism]

Kind of both

Jaxy gave a lot of hints plus his famous cannot confirm or deny sort of thing.

[solemn silo]

Fair enough

[vital blaze]

Any one on the west coast (PNW) enjoying the lightning

[solemn silo]

We've got lighting here in arkansas

It's nice laying down with a thunderstorm outside

[toxic tapir]

#aussieland confirmed yet?

[quaint lintel]

In 2 days and 22 hours

Which is gonna last another 3 years obviously 💀

[toxic tapir]

Lol

[midnight moon]

what did jaxxy mean when he said the map won’t be a reserve

[limber cliff]

Tune in Tuesday to possibly find out 🙂

[low citrus]

Refer to pinned messages

[vast kayak]

where can we listen to the music track?

[limber stump]

Are we getting horses?!?!

[low citrus]

Where is this?

[limber stump]

Revon

[coarse lintel]

Its been a photo prop since parque came out in December 2018

[limber stump]

Oh

[mortal lark]

damn I remember I was so hyped for parque when the trailer released

really doesn’t feel like 5 years ago

[jade wyvern]

That was 5 years ago!???????? Good lord

Time goes by so fast. I got the game on ps4 when medved came out

[lost ember]

@eternal pilot

[low citrus]

I got the game when Vurhonga came out

Actually maybe it was Parque

[limber stump]

Sliver ridge is turning 3

3 days until maybe we finally find out what the new map is

[left adder]

Its really just confirmation that it is Aus

[stray basalt]

Most likely private land

[left adder]

oh, that kinda sucks

[stray basalt]

How does that suck?,Parque is a decent map for how long ago it was made and it’s a high fence ranch

[left adder]

oh i mean like i was expecting more, nvm

i was not think straight

[left adder]

wait so it will pretty much be a reserve but not called a reserve?

[stray basalt]

Yeah

[left adder]

damn

[stray basalt]

Like how Layton,Mississippi,Te are wild life areas/National parks

[left adder]

ohhhhh

So does hirsh count as private land?

[stray basalt]

I’m not too too far into the story but as far as I know it’s just a reserve

[slim lodge]

Any confirmation yet guys?

[limber cliff]

we find out more Tuesday on stream

nothing is concrete as of yet - however I doubt they'd let us froth at the mouth over Australia and then 180 us with something totally different

[midnight moon]

that’d be terrible marketing if that happened🤣

[left adder]

Australia 100%

[arctic pond]

I think if the map would not be Australia but we would have continued to say that it is Australia JaxyBeard would let the community know that the map will be another thing

Sorry if some verb is incorrect

[limber cliff]

Agreed

[limber cliff]

You wrote well!

I believe you are correct. They wouldn't do that to us haha.

[arctic pond]

Or maybe they didn’t see all the things we have talked about (videos, comments…)

[limber cliff]

Nah nah, they absolutely have seen the response

If anything, at minimum, Jaxy will see our replies and forward the info the group above him

[red axle]

In case y'all haven't seen a 400" fallow deer.

[opaque shard]

I think they really should rework the current fallow truracks cause they can get a lot bigger and more impressive looking more similar to classics

same with reindeer

[final depot]

do you think there will ever be tahr?

[low citrus]

Tahr were supposed to be on Te Awaroa but EW said that they had problems with the Tahr’s long hair

[final depot]

I remember seeing the image of the tahr that appears in the info

[low citrus]

They couldn’t get it to work so it ended up being scrapped

[final depot]

😿

[quaint lintel]

Less than 48 hours left in my 4 years of waiting for Australia

[low citrus]

Will it be…
Has EW actually shown up after all these years with the promised reward. Has surviving all these years in the wasteland of broken dreams finally paid off? Will the loyalists finally get to enter the gates of the promised land and reap the rewards Expansive Worlds brings?

[quaint lintel]

DON'T BRING DOUBTS INTO THIS

I'm hyped 🙂

[glacial summit]

Hah!

you and your jokes today

[midnight moon]

Bro making it seem like we didn’t get Revontuli Coast plus a bolt action .338 and 7mm less than a year ago smh

[low citrus]

Shhh

Your headcanon isn’t accurate to the lore

[midnight moon]

?

[coarse lintel]

still waiting for that 223 penetration buff 😂😭

[uneven bloom]

3-7 6.5 readjustment when 😩

[coarse lintel]

Probably at the end of the game xD😭

Or never

[uneven bloom]

I can take the 125 thumbs-up emotes on my suggestion for it and be hopeful, darn it!

[coarse lintel]

Yep hopefully it happens

Heck even just the 6.5 soft points being 3 to 7 would work

[languid wedge]

I swear those damn things still bounce off goats

[lean mica]

does anyone know where is talladega on the Mississippi?

[languid wedge]

Dew what???

[languid wedge]

You know they are like 400 miles apart correct

[lean mica]

oh they are?

[languid wedge]

Yes Talladega is in North Central Alabama Mississippi acres is supposedly located in southeast Mississippi

[lean mica]

Oh i was asking cause someone said that Bob white quail are very active there at night

[languid wedge]

Lol

Bobwhite Quail live across basically the entirety of the east us

[lean mica]

ah I am trying to get a diamond one. do you know any good spots?

[sudden ginkgo]

fields

[stone turret]

Has... this channel always been here?

[sudden ginkgo]

yes

[lean mica]

any specific ones or just fields in general

[sudden ginkgo]

you've just never noticed it

[sudden ginkgo]

pick a field, any field

[lean mica]

ok lol thanks

[languid wedge]

Mostly all of the fields in the map and and some of the Meadows on the right hand side

[left adder]

Australia for the win guys cya in 2 days

cant wait for stream

I think we will get a teaser trailer

Jaxy said we "dont wanna miss it"

[fair jetty]

when

[left adder]

wednesday 1am Eastern Australian Time

I cant wait for teaser omg

aaaaaa

I wanna see s0ome roos

[limber cliff]

Tomorrow the stream will go, unless something happens and life interferes

[vital blaze]

Don't you dare jinx it

[limber cliff]

🙄

[jade wyvern]

Fun fact. Mississippi acres is awful quail habitat lol they do not like wooded areas and need wide open grass/ shrub lands

[jade thicket]

its not bad for quail just find the locations

i used to drive round on atv jump out shoot em as they fly

[jade wyvern]

Ohh I meant like in real life habitat but yes I agree with you in game! I do the same thing

[quaint lintel]

If they make the tropics of Australia this map, next one should definitely be outback with kangaroos

maps are big enough that they could do both climates maybe

[silver fog]

Banteng/Water Buff map lessgo

[red violet]

No bro, it not

[silver fog]

Crossed fingers for some more deer as well however

[quaint lintel]

I want kangaroos

[silver fog]

Still missing rusa/sambar ye?

Rusa, sambar, banteng and roos are 100% the more important potential new species

Camels would be neat but I dont EXPECT those

[cobalt stone]

I have a feeling this map is going to be tough to hunt… probably similar to Parque and Mississippi

[silver fog]

Depends obviously

[quaint lintel]

People in the comments on Twitter think it's Japan 💀

[fair jetty]

CAssuary

[red violet]

prolly just gonna get goats, pigs, and bunnies

[silver fog]

It could be dense as hell, but it could also have more open areas too obviously

Wether theyre wetlands or plains would be the million dollar question

[quaint lintel]

Not if it's half and half ... one half the tropical areas of Australia, the other being the open outback desert

[silver fog]

Could always do like Vurhonga

[cobalt stone]

Yeah, I just think it’ll be more jungle and swamp feel

[quaint lintel]

They better make 2nd Australian map then as an outback desert with kangaroos

[red violet]

I wouldn't mind hunting nasty nasty koalas xD

[fair jetty]

platypus

[red violet]

koalas have chlamydia, we gotta get rid off em (is a joke, they are cute actually)

[quaint lintel]

Imagine after all this, it's still not Australia 💀

[red violet]

doubt

[cobalt stone]

I mean I’d love the map to have open desert areas too, I like the idea of multiple biomes

[silver fog]

Like Im just saying, looking at Vurhonga here

You can easily fit dry and open areas and fairly tropical forests onto one map

[jade wyvern]

Yes

[red violet]

and you got mountain areas on there too

[silver fog]

Without it looking silly at least

[jade wyvern]

Desert to shrub land to tropical

[glacial summit]

Its gonna be one or the other probably

I think we are getting open outback desert and thats it

[quaint lintel]

Yes!
P.S. Amazing photos!

[silver fog]

Thankie :D

[limber cliff]

Cassowary cannot be hunted afaik

[fair jetty]

is this one real?

[red violet]

yes, because they shared it on twitter

[fair jetty]

niceeee

[limber cliff]

With specific regulations I think emus can

😂😂😂😂

[fair jetty]

yeee

[red violet]

lol

[fair jetty]

sure haha

[vast kayak]

I mean that palm like tree does look like australia

[limber cliff]

To be fair, I've seen similar palm trees when living in Arizona

[mortal lark]

there’s literally no way it’s anything else

[limber cliff]

That said, I am believing with my whole soul that is Australia

[vast kayak]

They have already catergorically said it is NOT in North america

[red violet]

as I said, the upside down text is big big hint to Australia imo

[stiff leaf]

i hope thats the case

[sudden ginkgo]

And the upside down stream

[stiff leaf]

i sure do wonder what that means!

[vast kayak]

yeah. I dont see how upside down text could relate to anywhere on the asian continent

[silver fog]

Upside down letters

Lots of upside down

[stiff leaf]

oh we got a photo nice

[keen belfry]

Yeah this is definitely Australia

[vast kayak]

Before last weeks stream I was thinking Asia somewhere cos they also said they were going somewhere they hadnt been before(continent wise)

For the pedantic(like me) NZ is in the australian continet(region) which only leaves asia

[sudden ginkgo]

JAAAAAAAAAAAXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[silver fog]

🇦🇺🦘🐨

Something something thunder and sandwiches

[stiff leaf]

guys im 99% sure its not australia, its one of those tiny ass islands near new zealand

[limber cliff]

I am aware. I was literally in the Streams listening.

What i was saying is, I've seen similar palms outside of australia so stating those exact trees exist in X isn't a total giveaway

[vast kayak]

Samoa?

[stiff leaf]

idk the names

[vast kayak]

Wait.....!

[vast kayak]

Drink up me hearties YO HO!

[shrewd kestrel]

I’d like another NA map lol

[stiff leaf]

i always forget that i have a pinned message in here

[stiff leaf]

i dont unless its canada or something

[silver fog]

Obviously the upside down text COULD be a bit too on the nose and a bit of a trap but same time...

[vast kayak]

Wait....

Is malaysia in the southern hemisphere?

[silver fog]

Australia is literally one of the two top wanted maps left

[shrewd kestrel]

I’m just a sucker for the North American pine tree aesthetic. Hirschfelden too

[vast kayak]

what is the other?>

[red violet]

we got more than enough NA maps for now I think

[silver fog]

Another african map lol

Serious tho

I'd dare say the top 3 wanted regions atm is Australia first, another africa second and a third in the arctic

[red violet]

those are clearly arctic palm trees

[silver fog]

Stuff like Japan... not counting on that ever happening tbh lol

[quaint lintel]

Medved Taiga is in Asia

[silver fog]

Neither is India or China for obvious reasons

Same with most of the SE Asian islands

[jade thicket]

would be cool but what can you hunt there i always wanted the location just for how cool it would look

[vast kayak]

It is?
I thought Russia was part of european continent

[sudden ginkgo]

Asia

[quaint lintel]

Russia is half Europe and Asia, Medved Taiga is located in the Asian territory of Russia

[silver fog]

It's pretty damned limited from all I've heard and even then it's basically just the standard asian species of deer

[vast kayak]

there we go i learnt something new

[silver fog]

Which would be a bit wasted on japan I feel

[stiff leaf]

so theres a stream tomorrow about the new map right?

[vast kayak]

So they have been to all the continents except antarctica then in that case (TA is australia)

[jade thicket]

yeah i couldnt find much to be hunted in japan last time i looked

[glacial summit]

Its a lie

everything is a lie

[quaint lintel]

They BETTER have KANGAROOS on an Australian map otherwise everyone is going to outrage!!

[stiff leaf]

bop wsp

[jade thicket]

ride a kangaroo

[glacial summit]

my skepticism remains

[glacial summit]

Trees

[silver fog]

Seems like mostly deer and boar from a quick google

[stiff leaf]

i eat those

[vast kayak]

what was the music clue? I missed that one

[glacial summit]

please dont be like this

[stiff leaf]

im sorry

[outer moss]

They just dropped this

[quaint lintel]

Australian folk music

[stiff leaf]

i wont eat anything ever again

[mortal lark]

yeah we know

[quaint lintel]

Check the pins

[red violet]

you late to the party xD

[jade thicket]

tomorrows stream will be hype central now 😁

[quaint lintel]

Just because of this pic, I'm convinced we are getting the teaser tomorrow

[stiff leaf]

school ends in 3 days so i might have some time to get back into cotw

[glacial summit]

Im reasonably unhyped right now in all honesty

[silver fog]

Jaxy getting his beard tugged off by people screeching for a tease

[red violet]

why is that``?

[glacial summit]

waiting for the disappointing part

the "why did they add canadian geese instead of a cooler species" typa stuff

[stiff leaf]

"We are deleting all other maps except for Australia"

[glacial summit]

I have no faith in the plan

[glacial summit]

Theres gonna be something

[stiff leaf]

Theres always something

I haven't played the game in a while so idrc what happens

[glacial summit]

you do

dont lie

[stiff leaf]

||might care slightly, but still I'm not dumping hundreds of hours per month anymore into cotw||

[red violet]

yall too negative already

[glacial summit]

math

[glacial summit]

Yes

keeping my expectations low this time

[red violet]

I play both Classic and COTW since their release dates and was never disappointed in them. So I just don't know what you guys are always on about 🤷‍♀️

[glacial summit]

Really?!

wow you have very low expectations for game development

[limber cliff]

Iight, we aren't here to judge how and when folks play the game

We're here to judge Australia

[mighty dove]

Idk, the way you play is kinda weird, Tyk

[limber cliff]

With lots of adhd and getting sidetracked?

[mighty dove]

Who plays upside down

[jade thicket]

bats

[limber cliff]

I admit, it's not for everyone

Cryptick

[red violet]

wait. upside down? like, actually?

[mighty dove]

Yeah, she glued all her gaming equipment to her roof and plays upside down

[sudden ginkgo]

Nah not glue

[glacial summit]

terrifying stuff

[sudden ginkgo]

She used a nail gun to nail them to the ceiling

[red violet]

🤔

[red violet]

that's classic

[jade thicket]

yeah thats australia

on classic

[limber cliff]

Accurate

I even got Palmela ready and waiting for her debut as the background character

[quaint lintel]

Looks similar

[warm basin]

Hurray

[twilit prism]

Please let there be outback as well

[stiff leaf]

add a river

[warm basin]

What animals r on piccabeen?

[twilit prism]

@quaint lintel where did you get the picture

[glacial summit]

ur mom

[quaint lintel]

Pins

[warm basin]

[stiff leaf]

banteng water buffalo magpie geese rusa deer sambar deer hogs

[glacial summit]

sorry vivid hogs

[twilit prism]

Sambar deer, rusa deer, water buffalo, magpie geese, feral pigs.

[glacial summit]

I got confused

[warm basin]

Oh

That's not alot

[quaint lintel]

It's a sin to make an Australian map without Kangaroos

[stiff leaf]

bushrangers, kangaroo axis deer goat rabbit hog t rex i forgot the rest

[twilit prism]

If they don't add outback I'm going to be severally disappointed

[stiff leaf]

Axis Deer
Feral Hog

[stiff leaf]

i hate you

[sudden ginkgo]

https://i.imgflip.com/79m4hu.gif

[stiff leaf]

i copied from the wiki and didnt bother to delete the dupes

@sudden ginkgo pick a number between 1 and 2

[sudden ginkgo]

pi/2

[peak cedar]

I hope there’s open spaces too because as a classic player with a lot of my time on that map it’s gonna be like hell to hunt in cotw if that’s what the entire map layout is

[stiff leaf]

ok you have decided that i will start playing cotw again

[peak cedar]

Just imagine hunting the forests on TA but everywhere

[twilit prism]

Hopefully that's just the coast line

[peak cedar]

Or parque on the coast

[twilit prism]

If that's just the coast line I'll be happy

[glacial summit]

wouldnt even play it

[peak cedar]

Not to mention no way Xbox and ps4 could run that

[warm basin]

They Def could

[peak cedar]

That picture pretty much gave away it’s not gonna be what people expect of the “Outback” it would make 0 sense on any sort of map layout

Unless you had a huge mountain in the middle of the map to separate it. The clash of two opposite end biomes would look very goofy

[stiff leaf]

whats stopping ew from making it half and half

[sudden ginkgo]

ya never know. they could have done that

[twilit prism]

I just want some sort of desert

[warm basin]

That hasn't stopped them before

[twilit prism]

Or scrubland

[sudden ginkgo]

or it could be an oasis in the outback, presuming those exist

[peak cedar]

No map has done dessert and rainforest

[twilit prism]

True. Although the water look way to big

[peak cedar]

Desert

[stiff leaf]

as a certified geological expert, they do not exist

trust me on this one

[glacial summit]

The idea of satisfying the community

[warm basin]

I mean it hasn't stopped them from making a goofy map

[sudden ginkgo]

huh so there are oases in the outback

[peak cedar]

Nothing is “stopping them from doing it” but it would look dumb as hell all I’m saying 😂

Don’t even need outback for 90% of the species people list. It can be done with open forests

[mighty dove]

I hope they do two maps like in Classic. That would mean double the species if they do it right

[peak cedar]

Kangaroos, dingoes…etc

[twilit prism]

We want it because it would look really cool

[stiff leaf]

i need to go to australia sometime

[twilit prism]

Also it would add variety

[peak cedar]

Play classic and tell me how cool it is. It’s so overhyped to have that concept 💀

[twilit prism]

I think it looks really good. I've played it

[peak cedar]

But we’ll see

[jade wyvern]

It could be like parque

[twilit prism]

Yeah true. It can be like that. Sort of the highlands kind of map.

[jade wyvern]

Like grass/shrub lands in some part

Dense forest in others

[fair jetty]

what animals aare in that part of australia?

[quaint lintel]

Piccabeen Bay in Classic

They better have Crocodiles in swamps in COTW

[mossy atlas]

As an Aussie I hope it's not outback, every time any game does Australia they do the outback, 95% of our population lives on the coast

[quaint lintel]

I hope it's a mix

[fair jetty]

i bet it wont

so thats like rainforest right?

[mossy atlas]

looks pretty similar type terain to the pic in the pins

[fair jetty]

any possibilities for crocodiles?

[mossy atlas]

that looks tropical so yes

[fair jetty]

nice

[stark storm]

I’d think a tropical wetland map as it’s looking like would increase that possibility

Honestly I’d be willing to sacrifice kangaroos for crocodiles and banteng

[fair jetty]

nice

[stark storm]

Really hope we get hog deer too

[fair jetty]

kangaroos are in the desert?

[mossy atlas]

crocs are only in the far north of Aust which is also where those palm trees are, Kargaroos are everywhere

[stark storm]

Most yea they like more open country

[fair jetty]

ohhh

nice

[twilit prism]

I hope not. I'm vice versa

[stark storm]

But I think there’s wallabies in the northern areas

I mean I’d still really like to see Roos but it’s not a deal breaker for me

[limber cliff]

we basically got Crocs when we got Gators

I expect as much visual difference as plains and EU bison

a 'basically the same'

[twilit prism]

Well landscape wise. Look at Vurhonga. It's forestry and stuff on the coast but got to be like a deserty type of land in the middle

[jade wyvern]

Hope it’s like that

[quaint lintel]

Wildlife of Piccabeen Bay in Classic:

• Water Buffalo
• Banteng
• Sambar Deer
• Rusa Deer
• Feral Hog
• Magpie Goose

[stark storm]

I would have to disagree with that a big saltwater crocodile and big alligator are two different beasts

[twilit prism]

That would be a way to implement the rainforest coast and desert middle

Or even a desert like scrubland

[limber cliff]

I mean yes, logically they are.

But also theyre both big lizards

Plains and EU bison are also different but the same

[stark storm]

I mean I guess but at that point all deer look more or less the same

[limber cliff]

both big cows

What I#m getting at I guess

is that they prolly can reuse the gator skeletal rig

but like how can they change it to make it different

Just like they could reuse water boof rig for banteng

[twilit prism]

The main difference is in the skulls physical wise

[limber cliff]

but obvi tweak it so it looks banteng'y

[stark storm]

Yea rig wise of course but they would def be sized up and a completely different head

[quaint lintel]

Y'all realize if this is not an Outback Australian reserve but tropical... Wild Boar is looking to be the next GO

[twilit prism]

Oh

[mossy atlas]

I can see them adding a species or 2 or 3 more then classic

[twilit prism]

That's a good point

[limber cliff]

In this regard, the bison comparison still sits. They've got a mildly different model

[stark storm]

Can’t wait to see the rares the new species get the last few batches of rares have been gorgeous

[limber cliff]

Anyone recall if Jaxy specifically called upcoming map a showstopper?

[twilit prism]

Yes. He said there were multiple show stopper species as well

[stark storm]

I think he called some of the animals showstoppers

[limber cliff]

brilliant

[quaint lintel]

I think he said some of the animals on the map are showstoppers

[limber cliff]

Then regardless what we get

[twilit prism]

Wonder what it means though.

[limber cliff]

we all know this is gonna be fun AF

[twilit prism]

Maybe multiple GOs

[quaint lintel]

If if is Swamps and tropical are of Australia... THEY BETTER HAVE CROCODILES

[twilit prism]

Instead of just 1

[limber cliff]

Likely new species and reworks to some repeats if any

[spark grail]

Aussie let's goooo

[quaint lintel]

24 hours to go

[twilit prism]

What would roos looked like if they got GOs

[twilit prism]

Heheheh

Freaking jacked

[quaint lintel]

[twilit prism]

That would be funny so see. Also see many of the content creators get chased by them

[spark grail]

When is the new reserve getting released

[jade thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-kangaroo-punch-gif-12273994

[mortal lark]

embed fail

[jade thicket]

😂

https://tenor.com/view/awkward-kangaroo-punch-gif-12273994

haha it wont work

[quaint lintel]

June 27th

Imo

[warm basin]

I hope not

[quaint lintel]

Since Revontuli came out in June 28th (Tuesday last year) ... but ... this one might come out a week earlier

[warm basin]

Ur prob right tho

[uneven bloom]

tbh? One area in the map could be coast, the other could be outback, and in between could be a sort of transition area

[mossy atlas]

I'd say 2 weeks

[quaint lintel]

Last two maps had 15+ species, I certainly hope they do that

Swamps and tropical would have the Buffalo, crocs and exotics, the outback would have the kangaroos and rest

[gaunt fossil]

The image on Facebook definitely is coast and forest.

[wind ridge]

Outback is a complety differente geografic area, It is very difficult and unreal to have the 2 areas together

[quaint lintel]

Imagine if they make Australian tropical map and NOT put Crocodiles in it ... especially after already having Gators made in the game

💀💀

[mossy atlas]

surely they will have em

[quaint lintel]

I think at the endgame of COTW we're gonna have 3 Australian reserves ... Western, Eastern probably and Tasmania

[spark grail]

Jaxy said on a stream that they are just testing the map now

Jaxy said they are almost done with the reserve and are ahead of schedule

[mossy atlas]

he also said last time they showed it too far out so maybe it's reveal this week and available next week?

[tacit current]

yeah im expecting early june maybe mid-june at the latest

which is refreshing

seems like we are going to get this reserve sooner than most

[quaint lintel]

Some like this lol

Only with the new COTW logo of the map

[twilit prism]

I wouldn't get hopes up too high for salties. Just because we don't know what animals. Could be 1000% different from what we had in mind.

[tacit current]

yeah

[twilit prism]

Imagine white trial instead of roos for this map

White tail

[mossy atlas]

NO

[twilit prism]

I'm just joking

Don't worry

[low citrus]

We better be getting sambar deer with this map

I will be travelling to EW headquarters and inciting a riot if we don’t

[outer geyser]

Before everyone starts freaking out about not having a Outback, Finland had swamp, coast, forest and highland all in one map

[tacit current]

very true

[mossy atlas]

I kinda hope it has fallow and fallow is the new GO

[low citrus]

Fallow is most likely the new GO

[outer geyser]

I expect maybe we going to have a mix map with different biomes. Like way of the hunter did Alaska map with forest, plains and a Rainforest. I expect we may have buffalo, rusa deer, ducks and banteng in the forest and then kangaroos, dingos, fallow and sambar deer in an outback

[low citrus]

Saw this edit of one and good god does it look good

[twilit prism]

Very true. Thinking about it there's multiple maps with that. Vurhonga, rancho, Revontuli, and Alaska

[mossy atlas]

got a feeling that there will be a GO but not on the new map kinda like they did with revontuli and the black bear

[twilit prism]

Unless it's a hog or fallow deer then maybe

I think every map should have at least one GO

[low citrus]

Currently every map has at least one except for Vurhonga

[mossy atlas]

I guess in 24 hrs we will have more idea

[outer geyser]

My prediction of what is most likely:

Fallow is very likely returning

[low citrus]

Feral goats are probably coming back

[outer geyser]

Axis deer and feral goats likely too

[low citrus]

Water buffalo too

[outer geyser]

Possible to get red fox, water buffalo and rabbits

[mossy atlas]

considering how so much of the community GO hunts atm I think they'd be silly to make a new map with no GO on it

[red violet]

should they put feral goats on the new map, I hope they fix their freaking udders. lol

[outer geyser]

New species: Kangaroo is very likely, Dingo and sambar deer is very likely. Banteng and camels are possible. Wild horses and donkeys very unlikely

Crocodile is a 50/50 based on how the map works

more rainforest/swamp areas yes, but if more desert then probs not

[twilit prism]

I think it will have more than two biomes if they make with multiple.

Because we also talked about a billabong area

Guys Scarecrow just made a video in the picture. It's up right now

On. Not in.

[mossy atlas]

from pins, looks nice and coastal to me

[stuck tapir]

I don't think we can say exactly what the whole map will look like from one picture

[round citrus]

so what our chances of salt water crocs

[quaint lintel]

I just realized how cool of a story line they can make if this is indeed a tropical Australian map ... imagine finding a Temple in the jungle areas

[round citrus]

i mean i did some reading them things can get 13 feet and even thats small

[quaint lintel]

High, considering we have alligators in the game

[mighty dove]

Right, it’s literally 2% of the map we are looking at and it’s just the top of trees

[stuck tapir]

Exactly

[shrewd kestrel]

These seems to be more deer species

[quaint lintel]

I see a mountain type of deal in the back also covered in tropical trees ... but hey, I most of all want it to be an Outback

[mighty dove]

I hope we have all deer species

All of them

Every single one of them

[quaint lintel]

Crocs are needed to make it more exciting

[quaint lintel]

Bruh

[shrewd kestrel]

I never hunted crocs

[quaint lintel]

So ... the new Great One ... we're down to Wild Boar and Fallow Deer at this point, which one y'all think it is?? Boar are already in 3 maps, fallow on 2

[mighty dove]

What

[shrewd kestrel]

Not sure. I have never hunted great ones

[mighty dove]

I want them all on the map(s)

[mossy atlas]

saltwater crocs are scary

[shrewd kestrel]

I just chill hunt and do missions. I have never grinder for anything it’s just too reductive for me

[quaint lintel]

We'll find out everything hopefully in 23 hours

[remote bough]

i would love wild boar GO

[mighty dove]

Get out

[amber kiln]

What about mallards, they could likely be in the new map and would be widely available across a few maps

[quaint lintel]

I .... I don't think we're getting a Mallard GO soon lol

[mighty dove]

It’s going to be Fallow Deer. I feel it in my toes

[limber cliff]

Fallow and Chital have very angry eyebrows in this representation

[mighty dove]

Toes are tingling rn

[amber kiln]

Who knows, could be a way of subverting our expectations yet again…..

[quaint lintel]

Sus

[mossy atlas]

I'm very doubtful the new map will even have a GO on it, still gonna love it though

[shrewd kestrel]

Yeah but the Rusa is a good boy

[mighty dove]

It could be my foot fungus but I am pretty sure it will be Fallow

[round citrus]

the problum we face is your not allowed to legelly hunt them irl but thir fish and game have considered it in the past with the fact they are of least concern poplation wise and the fact thir one of only 2 crocodile types that are known to actively hunt humans

[quaint lintel]

Plus the new Great One imo will be from Hirshchfelden... if a bird, maybe the pheasant

[limber cliff]

He looks kinda like.. he'd lick dirt. Or a rock.

But like he has best intentions

[quaint lintel]

Would love a diamond one of those in my lodge

[limber cliff]

He's like Ed of the deer gang

https://tenor.com/view/ed-happy-smile-excited-gif-4971438

[amber kiln]

I thought about pheasant as being really likely as first bird go, but was staying more in the realm of new GO on the new map

[quaint lintel]

Yea, I mean we got pheasants on 4 maps ... sooo

[shrewd kestrel]

Some of these maps have become a shitshow of birds criss crossing in every which direction 24/7

[amber kiln]

Just checked again and apparently there are ring neck pheasant populations in Australia just not spread across the whole continent

[mossy atlas]

Highly doubt pheasant are coming to an Aussie map, there's plenty of other species they could put

[amber kiln]

I know, there’s only like three areas with phrases in au that I could find so they won’t be added

[mossy atlas]

and also wont be pheasant because not on base maps and that is what they have done so farevery go has been on base game maps

[keen belfry]

Hirschfelden: ahem

[uneven bloom]

Hirschfelden.

Pheasants were added to Hirsch when NEM released.

[mossy atlas]

ahh didnt realise they back filled hirsch with them

what I want to know is on a scale of Hirsch to revontuli how alive does the map feel

[limber cliff]

I need it to be Rev+

every map needs 19 species

[mossy atlas]

I agree

[quaint lintel]

It's in the pins

[quaint lintel]

Old maps slowly getting refilled to that point

[mighty dove]

I still feel like Hirsch could use something else

So could Parque

But maybe it’s because I don’t really play on them much

[quaint lintel]

Hirshch needs birds, Parque needs Caimen

[uneven bloom]

They could possibly put hazel grouse on Hirsch

[mighty dove]

That’d be nice

[quaint lintel]

How about Mouflon or Chamois? Any of them living in Germany?

[mighty dove]

Chamois do I believe

[uneven bloom]

chamois do live in Germany, but more in the mountains.

[uneven bloom]

Mouflon are also found in most of Central Europe

actually

they should probably rename "Iberian" to "European"

because there is no subspecies defined as "Iberian mouflon"

[rancid pecan]

The new great one is almost surely gonna be euro bison
Thought this became obvious a couple months ago lol

When they added that random new euro bison multimount

[split charm]

omg this looks so good

[mossy atlas]

eu bison is only on 1 map though

[rancid pecan]

Yeah thats the thing that makes it weird

But it has to be euro bison

Cause they already had a multimount before

David vs goliath

[jade hamlet]

Nah fallow mate

[rancid pecan]

Adding multimounts costs money to do and it wouldnt make any sense to add a double male bison mount otherwise
Theres sure a reason

[jade hamlet]

Makes sense with new map if its australia. Its on base map (hirsch) and a wider amount of dlcs

Also think next geeat one would be fallow

[rancid pecan]

Well see next streams
Im betting all my money on euro bison for now

[jade wyvern]

Red fox is also another great possibility. On multiple maps. 2nd carnivore GO

[stuck tapir]

I thought it was because it's the only base game species without a multimount, besides euro rabbit

[jade wyvern]

Definitely could be on Australia

[rancid pecan]

Euro bison does have a multimount and thats the thing

[stuck tapir]

Oh yeahhhh

Forgor

[rancid pecan]

Why add a multimount for a species that already has one

[uneven bloom]

another point to it being red fox is the remodel they got last big update

[rancid pecan]

While many other need it more

[uneven bloom]

and they have two multimounts

[stuck tapir]

Hmmm now I'm leaning towards euro bison

[mossy atlas]

they gave away the black bear by adding the multi mount, doubt they'd do that again

[silver fog]

Or, even better!

No great one for this patch

:x

[rancid pecan]

Imagine

[quaint lintel]

Wild Boar doesn't have a multimount I think, so if they get one with the next update, then it's them for sure

[silver fog]

Honestly tho, EXTREMELY likely Australian map coming

[rancid pecan]

Dont overestimate ew
Somehow theyre able to do the same very stupid mistakes multiple times

Weve seen it in the past

[silver fog]

If it was to be a GO coming it could be anything from water buff and axis to something as silly as a supersized razorback

[quaint lintel]

We need ..................... Custom huddle multimounts

[rancid pecan]

The biggest bacon

[fading gorge]

We have some big pigs over here in AU lol. Tear ya dog to pieces

[silver fog]

Piggest

[silver fog]

https://iamhunter.net/into-the-wild/hunting-tips/game-species-of-australia/

Hmmm.

Some fairly interesting possibilities depending on the location

[quaint lintel]

👆🏼👆🏼

[silver fog]

Aye

IF they just do that it'd be fine too

[quaint lintel]

That's NOT the Australia everyone was talking about since 2019

We need animals like Crocs, Kangaroos, Emus, Dingos, Camels ... glad the Banteng is on that list lol

[silver fog]

"Need", nah

[quaint lintel]

Want

[silver fog]

Would be great? Ye

[quaint lintel]

Indeed

[silver fog]

Like hell Im fine with no dingos, emus and crocs. No Kangaroos would be understandable but missed still

Camels I wouldnt EXPECT but would be fun if they did

[quaint lintel]

I'm telling ya, I'm glad Banteng is still on the list

But come on, they have alligator models and now making a tropical Australia?! They gotta use this opportunity and add Crocodiles to COTW

[blazing turtle]

Just gotta change the heads to be more crocodile-like and make the whole model a few feet longer

[outer geyser]

Again I am going to say, very likely the whole map is not just a tropical rainforest so we may still get a mixed map of rainforest and scrub land

Findland has coast, rainforest, highland and swamp

I would not be surprised if we had a rainforest/scrub-land type of map as Kangaroos tend to not live in tropical rainforests and they are pretty much confirmed for the next map

Plus fallow deer are not tropical rainforest animals and they are most likely to be next GO

[keen belfry]

I’ll say, even though I’m sure plenty of people on here already know, but be sure to lower your expectations. For all we know, animals like crocs might not even happen

[outer geyser]

My guess of species are now: Rusa and Sambar deer are very likely. Banteng is also very likely

Camels seem less likely atm

[stone turret]

This tbh. Go in expecting the same species list as NEM, and then be surprised if it’s different.

[shadow loom]

In the spirit of teasing today, I'm going to share this new addition to our Discord as well

[mortal lark]

[slate hound]

Is Kangaroos are in the map itll truly be a waste of potential

[mortal lark]

well that pretty much confirms saltwater crocodiles

[keen belfry]

…Yep, and just earlier I said crocs might not even happen 😅

[outer geyser]

I think crocs are a unlikely species, but not impossible

[tacit hamlet]

Still waiting for that bushranger confirmation… 🤞

[tacit hamlet]

this basically confirms them

[outer geyser]

is that a new emolji added today?

[keen belfry]

Pat just posted it above

[jade wyvern]

Oh boy

[tacit hamlet]

Yes

[outer geyser]

Oh dam, that means that makes them almost 100% on the map

[jade wyvern]

Salty grabbing a feral hog would be a sick multi map

[tacit hamlet]

Or, it could be a backfill onto vurhonga….

[outer geyser]

I mean I thought Unlikely just as you got such a big line up of species you can have on a map is AUS

But the new emolji is just too perfect

[jade wyvern]

No those are Nile crocs not saltwater crocs

[outer geyser]

Yep saltwater are from Aus

[tacit hamlet]

Guess they are 100% on Australia then

[outer geyser]

and a Salty emoji is perfect for a saltwater crocodile

[keen belfry]

Which means this probably will be a Northern territory map

[outer geyser]

Question is, how big are these going to be? The American alligators Legendary are pretty big, but saltwater crocs are MASSIVE

[uneven bloom]

Red kangaroos still possible then according to that image earlier

[tacit hamlet]

Yep. The Outback and salty territory overlap

[keen belfry]

770 kg according to info on salties

[outer geyser]

Kangaroos will be on the new map, Jaxxy said "Bounce" like 50 times last week

[stone turret]

We win

[outer geyser]

The new map 100% will have different biomes

like a huge rainforest map would probs not be to everyone's taste

[keen belfry]

I’m expecting Magpie geese as well

[outer geyser]

and this most likely be the only AUS map for a while

[slate hound]

Kangaroos would be so hype, Id dedicate an entire lodge to them

[tacit hamlet]

Man I can’t wait for tomorrow!

[dense birch]

oh was hoping for crocs hell yeah

[stone turret]

It would be cool if there was a mangrove forest

Or some sand dunes

But I’m good with being home amongst the gum trees

[shrewd kestrel]

How is it fair to shoot an alligator they can’t even fly or run

[outer geyser]

My guess is the map will be a mix of coastal swamp forests with Buffalo, Banteng, waterfowl and crocodiles

and scrubland/outback with Deer, goats, dingo and Kangaroos

[wind ridge]

If that palm tree in the image is an Alexandra palm, then we have to point towards Queensland whit Subtropical moist broadleaf forests and Subtropical grassland and shrublands

[mortal lark]

they dive into the water and disappear

[outer geyser]

So whats everyone species list prediction?

Jaxxy said new and old species

How many animals do you think we will get?

[glacial summit]

Mostly old

not enough new

[jade wyvern]

Old
Axis
Water Buffalo
Red Fox
European rabbit

[glacial summit]

probably to many birds

[stone turret]

Fallow ^

[stone pine]

13 animals I think

[outer geyser]

Old: Fallow deer, Axis deer, Water Buffalo, Red fox, rabbit, mallard

New: Salwater Crocodile, Banteng, Sambar deer, Rusa deer, Red Kangaroo, Magpie goose

Maybe joining us: Camels, feral pig, feral goats

[peak cedar]

^ they get it

[dusky wolf]

if we get salties i hope to god they're class 9

[mortal lark]

[stray surge]

oh nice

[dusky wolf]

the gators on missisipi should also be class 9

[stray surge]

australia confirmed

[mortal lark]

kinda been confirmed for a while

[twilit prism]

I think maybe 13-17 animals.

[stiff leaf]

hmmmm

when was that added

ok yeah saltwater crocs def added

[jade wyvern]

I think this but no camel

[midnight moon]

guys its not based on outback animals

It's basically like piccabean bay

in classic

its a australian coastal rainforest map

[keen belfry]

One image does not equate an entire map.

[midnight moon]

it kinda does

Outback is in the middle of australia

in the pic

you can clearly see the sea

and wouldnt make sense adding an outback by a map near the sea

[blazing turtle]

We could still get some open areas on the map, even Piccabean Bay has some open areas

[midnight moon]

yeah

but not outback type

[mortal lark]

I’m guessing it’s gonna be based on the northern territory tbh

[midnight moon]

or southeast

maybe a mashup of the two

so just

coastal rainforest like piccabean

[mortal lark]

I’m pretty sure saltwater crocodiles only live in northern australia

[midnight moon]

hmmm

whatever the map is

Its not the map we wanted

😔

[keen belfry]

Eh, it’s got crocs

[midnight moon]

Right continent, wrong area

[midnight moon]

basically the same as gators

just renamed

[mortal lark]

and like 1,000 lbs larger

[stone turret]

The maps we play on are fictionalized

If half is outback why not

[midnight moon]

do you think cotw would make it like that?

They would probably just change a few things on gator model and call it a croc lol

like mallard and cinnamon teal

they same model i believe

just different color
