[stone turret]

?

Such a negative Nelly

Aus is dope

[keen belfry]

We still got crocs

Don’t care if they’re a copy paste I’m gonna hunt em

[midnight moon]

yeah yeah i see your point

[midnight moon]

Aie just speaking fax yknow

[mighty dove]

I hope it’s not a complete copy and paste. If you are going to bring in new species, at least do them justice and give them their own model, specially considering there is no TruSize

[midnight moon]

yeah

tbh cotw maps have been kinda bland nowdays

like just copy pastes

same trees

same animals

maybe a few new birds

[mighty dove]

NEM is beautiful even with the reused species

[midnight moon]

if they did outback, there could have been many new animals

[midnight moon]

This

Right species wrong time

[outer geyser]

No way they would just do one setting for a new map.

They would 100% have different areas

like Finland is a coast map and has highlands

[midnight moon]

but looks of map doesnt make up a hunting game

[midnight moon]

Finland was good

but like

mississipi

was all same

rivers

[stiff leaf]

rev was a step in the right direction

[midnight moon]

some lakes

and fields

Eh

and forests

thats all

I think all the maps are good tbh

[outer geyser]

Mississipi had fields, forests, swamps, rivers

[stiff leaf]

it had the drier area in the right side of the map
ish

[mighty dove]

It definitely helps

[midnight moon]

yeah

it does

but so do the animals

[stone turret]

I dont think you understand game development @midnight moon

[mighty dove]

I think they brought it to us too early

[stone turret]

its a game with like 12 open world game size maps

there's going to be overlap with assets

[midnight moon]

Mississippi has so many amazing species

Raccoon and such

[remote bough]

i love missisipi

[silver fog]

HUUUUUUUH?

[midnight moon]

im just sharing my opinion as a player, i have nothing to do with development

[keen belfry]

Yeah, Pat showed that earlier as a teaser

[remote bough]

one of my favorite maps

[silver fog]

Well heck

[stone turret]

Right but the context of development is important

COTW has really turned around this past year

lets let them show us what they've been working on before complaining

[silver fog]

I mean tbf it cant be worse than New England

And depending on how many new species it brings it may be really good as well

[stiff leaf]

i have an opinion on every map except NEM

[mighty dove]

If the map is indeed two types of biomes within a single map, I hope they bring us a good variety of species

[stone turret]

NEM is one of the most beutiful enviornments they've ever made with great music to boot

[shrewd kestrel]

I love NEM it’s beautiful and there are side missions

[stone turret]

frustrating to hunt though

[outer geyser]

Jaxxy said they wanna reuse animals, you can;t use many animals in a pure rainforest map apart from axis deer

so I imagine it will be a mix

[silver fog]

Goats, pigs, foxes

Water buffalo

[outer geyser]

But goats do not live in rainforests

water buffalo and pigs you are right though

[silver fog]

Tell that to the goats

[outer geyser]

Well played

I back down good sir

[stone turret]

I would be fine without goats tbh

[keen belfry]

I can’t see any Aussie map without pigs

Would be pretty surprised if they were absent here

[silver fog]

But yeah I 100% expect reused species

REGARDLESS of the maps we'll get in the future

Questions the ratio of new vs old

[fading gorge]

Ugh not NQ or NT rainforest

[outer geyser]

Imagine if every species on the map is whitetail

[silver fog]

-audible disgust-

[keen belfry]

Or moose. or Red deer

[mighty dove]

A few years ago we all wanted another whitetail map and now we hope we don’t ever see one again lmao

[silver fog]

Jokes on you, I like moose

[keen belfry]

Same

[silver fog]

I didnt

[outer geyser]

"Head down under with the brand new whitetail map this summer, With a whole 1 species, the Australian whitetail"

[silver fog]

Whitetail is the McDonalds meal of deer

It's everywhere and frankly kind of stale

[mighty dove]

When people think hunting they usually automatically assume whitetail

[silver fog]

[silver fog]

*muricans

[remote bough]

MURICAH

[mighty dove]

MERICA

[shrewd kestrel]

I don’t like any of these maps that don’t look like a Christmas tree forest

[keen belfry]

Anyway I think Rusa deer and Magpie geese have a pretty good shot here

[mighty dove]

I see Layton’s pine trees in my sleep

[silver fog]

When norwegians think hunting they think moose
When scots think hunting they think red deer
When aussies think hunting they think pig

Etc etc

I feel like the old Classic aussie maps rosters have a decent shot?

[keen belfry]

True

[left shoal]

Germans think roedeer or wildboar🤪

[outer geyser]

Imagine they reveal tomorrow and it comes out in 2 weeks

that would be pretty cool

[mighty dove]

That could very well happen

But likely not

[keen belfry]

The best we’ll get is teaser footage and a map name

[outer geyser]

name of the new map "Whitetail ranch"

[peak cedar]

Tomorrow we'll get all of a confirmation it's Aussie and maybe a teaser trailer with 3-4 species revealed

[low citrus]

[peak cedar]

if they had a release of two weeks away they would do a full on species list reveal tomorrow

I just don't see it happening

[jade thicket]

cant see it being that quick but who knows

roll on tomorrow

[slim cedar]

NEM first reveal was on 11/10, map released on 12/06, so good chance you're correct

[low citrus]

3 weeks after reveal sounds more plausible tbh

[glacial flame]

Beard did say we’re not far away

I get a feeling we see a teaser soon, maybe tomorrow

Then a stream or two of gameplay maybe?

[slim cedar]

I thought he already announced that we didn't want to miss tomorrow's stream?

[glacial flame]

He did yes

[low citrus]

I think tomorrow will be a full reveal of the map + species list + new features maybe. Next week should be actual gameplay with the new gun

Then after that just more gameplay

We might potentially get to find out what the next GO is tomorrow as well

[twilit prism]

I think this week reveal of map and animals, then next week gameplay, creator gameplay, and finally release next week

He said that it's not going to be the normal wait time

[low citrus]

Oh did he?

[twilit prism]

Watch back on the stream

[glacial flame]

Interesting

[twilit prism]

He said that the time is going to be different this time

[glacial flame]

I don’t remember that

Oh yes I do

[twilit prism]

So maybe a quicker wait time.

[glacial flame]

Yeah will be interesting to see

[low citrus]

If the map releases in 2 weeks that would be incredible

[glacial flame]

I’ll die lmfao

[peak cedar]

as long as it's stable release

[twilit prism]

More than likely they will have to do hotfix

[peak cedar]

because I remember when they did the skins for guns not long ago and it was 50/50 if it even worked for people

[fading gorge]

What if they pull a suprise and it goes live after stream.

[long spade]

Either way, excited to get a different biome

[twilit prism]

That would be awesome. Sadly don't think that'll happen

The creators usually get a weekend to play the game as well

[fading gorge]

Lol yeah I hate the wait and watching creators get their play for a week.

[twilit prism]

They get a weekend right

Maybe it releases next week

[fading gorge]

Im on 6 days off now and want something to do lemme review it

[twilit prism]

You and me both

[fading gorge]

My mechanic wont give my bike back so I am stuck at home lol

Moose grind is annoying me as they wont behave so Aussie map will fit nicely to give me a break

[twilit prism]

Lol

Why won't he give you his bike back

[fading gorge]

Still working on it. Had it for 3 weeks so far for painting and changing parts etc.

[graceful dawn]

i know somebody prob pointed it out already but is the new emoji pointing that we will get salt water crocs

[jade wyvern]

What time stream tomorrow?

[quaint lintel]

If this map is only tropical Australia, they better bring the outback desert with kangaroos to the game soon after

[coarse lintel]

I mean we have this one for the gators on Mississippi

[midnight moon]

Yea

[quaint lintel]

New map aside, what side updates or additions y'all think are coming to the game next month?

[midnight moon]

boomerang

as a weapon

😂

[mighty dove]

Giving little a million dollars

[final depot]

[drowsy hamlet]

[quaint lintel]

Will make sense if we find out tomorrow that it is indeed an Outback map

[fading gorge]

Kangaroos are everywhere so they would be in the rainforest too. We have Kangaroos live at my worksite and its an industrial factory near the city

[midnight moon]

well

the red ones are mostly located in the outback

aka the famous ones

[peak cedar]

I'm fully bet it's not console cert yet

[fading gorge]

go about 30min out of Brisbane can find reds

[stiff leaf]

wsp chat

[fading gorge]

I know that the hard way lol nearly hit a few on the bike and in the car

[final depot]

only rainforest? 😿

[quaint lintel]

I just realized lol, crocs confirmed LESSGOOOOOOO

[twilit prism]

Not definitely. More than likely it's multiple biomes @final depot

[peak cedar]

I'd put a big maybe on multiple biomes

[west harness]

Australia here we came let gooo

[final depot]

not complaining i love picabeen but i would also like desert

[stiff leaf]

i want both

[wind ridge]

It will not be just rainforest, the area where this species of palm tree shown in the trailer inhabits is the south east of Queensland, so we must also expect Subtropical Plains and Bushland

[twilit prism]

What palm tree is it?

[peak cedar]

it won't be all rainforest with the fact that idea for one biome wouldn't run on xbox and ps4 😂

[final depot]

Do you think it could be rainforest and desert?

[wind ridge]

Archontophoenix cunninghamiana o Alexandrae

[limber stump]

Is that on New Zealand

[peak cedar]

I highly doubt it will be both rainforest and outback all on one map

[midnight moon]

nope

Outback is in the middle of australia

map is based on coast

[peak cedar]

cotw maps aren't big enough imo to make the transition from lush tropical rainforests to a sparse wide open outback. I hope they prove me wrong though 🤷‍♂️

[quaint lintel]

It would've been a MASSIVE mistake to not bring Crocodiles to COTW with this update, especially since they're telling us we're long way from Africa 2.0 and they have Gators in the game already

[twilit prism]

It's more than likely going to have multiple biomes. Not one.

[twilit prism]

They just confirmed it

They are

For Australia

[midnight moon]

but outback biome wouldn't make sense

[wind ridge]

Rainforest + subtropical plains + subtropical bushlands i think

[midnight moon]

in a coast based map

[peak cedar]

^

[quaint lintel]

Hmmm, the middle of the map could be an outback, and the coasts tropical

[twilit prism]

Well too. He said it's not a reserve. So maybe it's a bigger map

[midnight moon]

bru they can't transition from the coast rainforest to a desert

[glacial flame]

Ooo

There’s a lot of potential here

My likey

[peak cedar]

like an island 💀

[final depot]

something like rancho

[twilit prism]

Why would that be bad

[twilit prism]

That's a good idea.

[peak cedar]

they've described how they work on maps before

[midnight moon]

rancho is small forest trees, but still in desert

[quaint lintel]

THEN THEY BETTER HAVE ANOTHER AUSTRALIAN MAP COMING ... lol

[midnight moon]

we are talking about a RAINFOREST and DESERT

basically opposites

[peak cedar]

I suggest going way back and looking at some of the original SRP talk streams with one of their map designers

he explains very well why that's a horrible idea

[wind ridge]

is possible

[fading gorge]

Hasvent seen the North QLD regions that do that then have you

Or WA its pretty much desert ocean

[peak cedar]

We don't need two aussie maps, because no need for outback 😛

[twilit prism]

That's your bad opinion

[midnight moon]

true

its just gonna be a copy of rancho anyway 😂

[peak cedar]

what species do you want that is ONLY in the outback

please enlighten me lol

[midnight moon]

emu

fr

[twilit prism]

I would like a remastered of Bushrangers

[peak cedar]

they aren't only in the outback lol

[twilit prism]

Yes emu

[peak cedar]

google it

[twilit prism]

Dingos.

[midnight moon]

dingos go in forests too

[twilit prism]

Moniter lizards

[peak cedar]

dingo are not only outback

[midnight moon]

tf

Red Kangaroo

[twilit prism]

Yes that as well.

[midnight moon]

mostly found in outback

[twilit prism]

Feral cats

[fading gorge]

Lace monitors are common here

[midnight moon]

bro

[twilit prism]

Ranbits

[midnight moon]

you want to shoot cats?

thats fuckin messed up

[twilit prism]

Huge pests there

[quaint lintel]

No it will .......... NNNOOOOOTTTT

[midnight moon]

Basically will

[twilit prism]

Lol

[midnight moon]

devs gonna be like

its a desert map

just make some changes

make it redder

tadaa

[twilit prism]

I think a combo of Vurhonga on the mountain, rancho, and Te Awaroa

[quaint lintel]

No, you don't see Dingos, emus, Kangaroos, Camels in Mexican desert

[midnight moon]

Im saying about the map

tard

not animals

[peak cedar]

would still get more hype than NEM 😂

[twilit prism]

True. I only bought NEM for the muzzle loader

[quaint lintel]

The map itself will be different, those are 2 different deserts, Outback won't have same vegetation aka cactus, the sand is mostly red and THIS doesn't look like Rancho

[peak cedar]

classic BRR in 4K

[midnight moon]

Some areas do look similar

with the vegetation

[quaint lintel]

And Kangaroos would be sick, especially if they go agressive like Capercaille

[midnight moon]

Tf

[peak cedar]

I only want roos so I can get an albino one

otherwise they're like turkey. Just there...

[quaint lintel]

Imagine a Kangaroo trying to punch you in cotw lol

[midnight moon]

tf

[peak cedar]

let me tell you, they flee fast! 😂

[midnight moon]

another fail

😐

[twilit prism]

Glad @sudden ginkgo isn't here

Uh oh

[quaint lintel]

It was this 💀

[sudden ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/cookie-monster-awkward-im-here-gif-13846384

[peak cedar]

smoke it in the head with the 300 easy

[twilit prism]

@sudden ginkgo someone had an embed fail

[fading gorge]

uh oh you pinged him

[midnight moon]

shh

snitches get stiches

[quaint lintel]

Regardless, I bet Australia as s continent will get a 2nd map

[midnight moon]

Bru u realize

africa bigger

and we still have one map

💀

[twilit prism]

And?

@sudden ginkgo it was @midnight moon that had two embed fails.

[midnight moon]

wdym and?

[sudden ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/shut-up-cat-monch-cat-monch-spinfal-gif-19376414

[midnight moon]

they will do africa first ofc, and then australia, so means years

[remote bough]

there won't be another map in africa any time soon, i guess

[twilit prism]

Africa 2.0 will be the end map for the game

[quaint lintel]

One of Jaxy's quotes from streams: "If there are Elephants and Africa 2.0 in cotw, who will go hunting roe deer on Hirshchfelden? That's why that map is the endgame."

[midnight moon]

nobody hunts roe on hirsh anyway 💀💀

😂

We got cuatro

for that

[peak cedar]

W response

[glacial flame]

I seriously think a new Africa map should be wayyy before end game

[remote bough]

I hunt roe on hirsh

and cuatro

[twilit prism]

Same

Cuatro is the best for them

[quaint lintel]

Another European map is due for roe and European Bison

[midnight moon]

romania

[fading gorge]

Dec map

[quaint lintel]

Aka Transylvania

[twilit prism]

Oligator has a great map for that

[midnight moon]

we need a south american map

new

Andean

map

[remote bough]

Zambia would be great

[quaint lintel]

I think we're getting Mongolia or Arctic map in December

[keen belfry]

The only two African maps I can possibly see before 2.0 are Western Africa and Kalahari inspired

[quaint lintel]

I want a map in East Asian nature

[twilit prism]

All I know is that I want an Africa map with baboons. I wanna snipe them bitches from a long way away

[midnight moon]

Legit

Siberia

Medved

[low citrus]

Who is that guy he sounds hot asf

[twilit prism]

Believe it's you

[peak cedar]

Game could use an Arctic map with

Sitka Deer, Snowshoe Hare, Snow Geese, Dall Sheep, Polar Bear, Arctic Fox, Reindeer, Arctic Wolf, Bison

[wind ridge]

This is transition of Rainforest to subtropical Bushlands in Queenland

This is a zone of subtropical bushland

[midnight moon]

cotw always finds a way to disappoint us

[wind ridge]

and this subtropical plains

[peak cedar]

perfect for sambar and rusa

[twilit prism]

We have that covered. @blazing turtle has a map for that

[midnight moon]

walrus?

[wind ridge]

Something like this could be expected

[twilit prism]

Yep

[quaint lintel]

@sudden ginkgo I think this should be pinned, huge hint towards Crocodiles

[twilit prism]

There's been multiple videos saying that

[quaint lintel]

[low citrus]

[midnight moon]

maybe it means we might get croc shoes?

[dark crag]

[quaint lintel]

Hope these guys will be aggressive not like gators

[midnight moon]

[peak cedar]

yeah your character has no shoes to wear

[twilit prism]

Hopefully they add a roo stiker

[peak cedar]

new

[glacial flame]

Imma hunt salt water crocs so hard if they’re actually gonna be there

Like I did gators

[remote bough]

or crocodile skin jacket, oh yes

[midnight moon]

its the same feeling as gators lol

[peak cedar]

hunt them for me mel, because I won't touch them lol

[twilit prism]

They probably made them like bears. Not aggro at all

[peak cedar]

I hate the mechanics of the gators lol

[quaint lintel]

They ARE, why would they add that into the server otherwise lol

[glacial flame]

Aight I’ll slaughter them for you

[quaint lintel]

DO Y'ALL REALIZE WE ARE GETTING AUSTRALIAN RAINFOREST MAP WITH CROCODILES AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[glacial flame]

Just being extra cautious as always man- I never say it as fact until it’s set in stone

[remote bough]

thats great

[quaint lintel]

I'm sorry, just too hyped lol

[peak cedar]

I'd be more excited to hear them confirm banteng than crocs

[midnight moon]

basically mississippi but australia edition

[remote bough]

still great map

[glacial flame]

My cows!!!!

[remote bough]

missisipi is also great

[quaint lintel]

Banteng, Water Buffalo, Crocs, new deer species, exotic birds and stuff .... JJJUUUUUNNNGGGGLLLEEEE

[glacial flame]

Banteng would be a big favourite for me

[peak cedar]

most importantly I need my magpies

[quaint lintel]

I wanted this

[glacial flame]

Yesss

[peak cedar]

it's literally the perfect environment for them cmon

[glacial flame]

Imagine albino and mela magpie but HD

[peak cedar]

exactly

[midnight moon]

cotw gonna use canada goose model for it 😂😂😂😂

[quaint lintel]

Why would have a Salty crocodile emoji in the Official COTW server if we don't have crocodiles in the game lol

[peak cedar]

I'd be on a different level of disappointment if I hear

"lets read off the waterfowl species, we have one this map! The mallard!!!!!"

[quaint lintel]

So they are COMING

[remote bough]

looks good

[peak cedar]

it's funny because canda geese are babies compared to magpie

[midnight moon]

bro

[quaint lintel]

That .... that's scary

[fading gorge]

Magpies and magpie geese 2 totally diff looking birds

[midnight moon]

thats magpie geese

[peak cedar]

magpie wingspans are massive

[remote bough]

oh

[midnight moon]

Tardss

[peak cedar]

idk why so small

but magpie

[glacial flame]

12 pixel

[fading gorge]

that is a magpie geese not a magpie

[peak cedar]

we are talking about the geese lol

mel and I are at least lol

[glacial flame]

In this context I’m just shortening to magpie instead of saying magpie geese every time

[fading gorge]

Mels pic was a magpie not a magpie goose

[quaint lintel]

Bet Jaxy's reading the chat and is like "Wow, they really all guessed it right" xD

[glacial flame]

I didn’t post a pic lol

[fading gorge]

oops Marlboro replied to you my bad

[glacial flame]

Lol is all good

[quaint lintel]

Don't rly care about the birds but this .... This is my area

[peak cedar]

hooge wings

[fading gorge]

As an Aussie you lot are confusing me as magpies sit in my window and get fed lol

[glacial flame]

Thicc wings

[peak cedar]

I was so sad when my beeno was a female

the wings are quite small

compared to the males by far

[midnight moon]

hope they add sambar and rusa too

or one of em

atleast

[remote bough]

I thought you were talking about a normal magpie, sorry bout that

[peak cedar]

all good

[glacial flame]

They’re so rare and so pretty thoooo

[fading gorge]

They need the regular magpies in the map just to be an environmental add in and swoop you.

[midnight moon]

Bro

they should add

cassowary

maps gonna be terrifying

then

I think that they are adding donkeys

we are the donkeys 🙂

imagine just minding your business and a cassowary comes up behind u

flamingos

[midnight moon]

tf

u want to shoot flamingos?

messed upp

[quaint lintel]

Just realized this is gonna be 2nd AXIS DEER map

[midnight moon]

mhm

[waxen widget]

This might be a far fetched opinion but I am kind of hoping an Aussie map comes with multiperson vehicles. Would love to be in a jeep with my buddies cruising the outback

[rancid pecan]

bro thats not far fetched
thats intergalactic fetched lmao

[waxen widget]

hahahahahahaha

am stealing intergalactic fetched from you 💀

[inner swan]

[neat chasm]

Don’t be hyped for outback.
I guess we will see a thick forest map. With Axis deer, fallow deer, Russa or samba deer, fallow hog/pig, Salty Crocs, Banteng, Water Buffalo. And 2 special goose, duck waterfowl type of birds. 9 Animals and probably five of them „brand new“. It’s sad we have been waiting for Outback and kangaroos so long. They will add this kind of map with kangaroos and emus in the future but they should have released it first

[inner swan]

You are wrong. That is all. Enjoy!

[sudden ginkgo]

[waxen widget]

I would like an outback map right now over the summer to lure some of my friends back, but I’d be happy to continue to buy forest maps as long as they feel well designed and the density is good

[wind ridge]

If we know anything about Cotw, it is that the maps are not Monobiomatic, there will be other environments apart from the rain forest, if the reserve is in Queensland then kangaroos also live there, not within the forest but in the areas of plains and bushlands

[stray basalt]

Hoping for a axis deer remodel

[twilit prism]

@inner swan do you have pictures of the map then?

[quaint lintel]

THEY BETTER MAKE 2ND AUSTRALIAN MAP SOON THEN

[inner swan]

Yeah let me just upload them real quick..

[twilit prism]

No don't lol

[inner swan]

...

[twilit prism]

What

[quaint lintel]

Looking forward to your early access gameplay on it man 👀

[inner swan]

I don't know any more than you my friend lol

[inner swan]

Thank you! Excited for this one

[mighty dove]

Liar

He has access. Everyone jump him

[inner swan]

Mean!

[twilit prism]

I just hope for something like a scrubland or desert

[mighty dove]

Tell us what you know!

What is the krabby patty secret formula, Clynt!

[inner swan]

Nothing yet but hoping we'll find out about early access tomorrow

[quaint lintel]

Would you choose British Columbia over this?

[neat chasm]

That’s what I want to hear

[twilit prism]

Definitely

[uneven bloom]

Layton = British Columbia

[twilit prism]

I would choose Australia over that

[uneven bloom]

so no, not really

[twilit prism]

Wait

[quaint lintel]

Me and KC are from the same time zone, I'm in Pacific Northwest, he's in British Columbia

[inner swan]

No way. Too similar to places we already have. The game needs something different and Australia fits the bill perfectly

[quaint lintel]

Layton = Pacific Northwest

[inner swan]

Layton is Washington. There are currently 0 Canada maps

[mighty dove]

British Columbia in the old Cabela’s games were the sheet

[twilit prism]

Layton is British Columbia

[quaint lintel]

Washington and Oregon = Pacific Northwest, not British Columbia

[inner swan]

Layton and Yukon Valley are close to Canada but they aren't Canada

[uneven bloom]

Inchresting

[quaint lintel]

They are USA

MERICA

[mighty dove]

MERICA

[twilit prism]

British Columbia is Pacific Northwest

[inner swan]

BC is also part of the Pacific Northwest 🙂

[mighty dove]

British Columbia stole my cadilac converter

[quaint lintel]

Oh, well then

[quaint lintel]

But still Layton isn't British Columbia

[quaint lintel]

If we get British Columbia I hope we'll have both Black bears and Grizzlies on it

[inner swan]

Eventually a Canada map will be important for the game. Need more Blacktail and Rosies among other species Canada could provide. Not yet though 🙂

[quaint lintel]

Yea yea yea, but Layton Lakes is based on the state of Washington, MERICA

[quaint lintel]

I would want them to add Roosevelt elk to Yukon

[inner swan]

I don't know who TechietheFox is but I can assure you Layton is a USA map

[quaint lintel]

That some random dude, I need a clear word from Jaxy or other deva

[twilit prism]

I did it to get his goat

[languid wedge]

Indeed indeed

[twilit prism]

More than likely it's British Columbia

You can't hunt grizzlies there anyways

It's a tiny area where you can hunt Grizzlies in BC

[quaint lintel]

I think the endgame of COTW is 20 maps ... we're getting 14th next month

20th being Africa 2.0

[inner swan]

You can trophy hunt Grizzlies in BC, it'll cost ya about 15,000 dollars though

[twilit prism]

Too rich for me

[languid wedge]

Coastal bc rainforest would be so cool

[twilit prism]

Wish that was Cotw money though

[inner swan]

You can't hunt Euro Bison in Germany but here we are 😛 They do go outside the lines from time to time. Nothing is impossible.

[quaint lintel]

Cough, cough, almost, cough, cough, added blacktail, cough, cough, to srp

[languid wedge]

Just mess up the shot boom 15k bear

[twilit prism]

Lol

[twilit prism]

That would not make sense. There is no Blacktail deer that far inland

[languid wedge]

Hmmm could bc have both Columbia and Sitka blacktail at once

[twilit prism]

They are a coastal deer

[sudden ginkgo]

DOOOOOOOOGPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[quaint lintel]

That's the point 💀

[twilit prism]

Mule deer can go to Layton though

They are pretty close to coasts

[quaint lintel]

Yea, hopefully they refill

[twilit prism]

I want elk in Rancho

[languid wedge]

Eh Layton don't feel good for mules

[quaint lintel]

Ah yes, the mighty, hairy, wooly elk in the deserts of Mexico

[twilit prism]

They live that far down south

Besides put them in the Riparian forests

[languid wedge]

Could do well in the east part

[twilit prism]

There's elk all over in New Mexico. That's mostly desert

[quaint lintel]

In that case, they better add Bison to Rancho

[twilit prism]

Don't think they ever lived that far south

Think Texas and the part of Mexico bordering Texas was the only parts of Mexico that had them

[low citrus]

Layton is set in Washington State and Yukon is set along the Yukon river in Alaska

[twilit prism]

If you drew the border of US and Canada. Layton would be above the border

[languid wedge]

And parque is in Brazil

[low citrus]

Layton’s not actually in Canada tho

[languid wedge]

Isn't nem NH Maine and Canada

[twilit prism]

Having lived in the PNW for 11 years. Everything looks the exact same

[twilit prism]

No

Just NH

[languid wedge]

Ok I know it's in 2 states

It's right on the border

[twilit prism]

What

Huh

[languid wedge]

It's NH and Maine or NH and Vermont

[twilit prism]

Honestly. Like NH and Virgina

[languid wedge]

Lmfao

[twilit prism]

I'm serious. It looks like the Appalachian

[wind ridge]

Maybe because if they are the appalachians xD

[twilit prism]

Oh I was right
💀

[languid wedge]

I knew something said maine

[midnight moon]

Washington Canada Border

[twilit prism]

That little indent is the border.

[wind ridge]

Do you think they will include a Kangaroo on the map?
These are the distribution zones of the 3 species of Kangaroos in Queensland

[arctic gate]

Argentina

[twilit prism]

He's being sarcastic

[languid wedge]

Indeed

[twilit prism]

In the description it says Argentina

This is mainly for Layton

[midnight moon]

no

[languid wedge]

Probably classic has reds

It'll be reds or grays

[twilit prism]

Classic does have red kangaroos @languid wedge

[tribal hill]

can anybody read the secret words in white under the text?? The bottom line says I hope to do more buisness with you soon, good luck

[arctic gate]

Any wallabies from that region too?

[tribal hill]

That picture sucks

[twilit prism]

No. Sorry

[tribal hill]

you cant see it nvm

[languid wedge]

Yes I've killed a good bit

[twilit prism]

@arctic gate maybe Red tailed wallabies for Te Awaroa

Wonder if there will be any backfills

[midnight moon]

they dont add new species to old maps

[arctic gate]

Im doubtful

[keen belfry]

Would be nice, but I doubt it

[arctic gate]

They do sometimes

[midnight moon]

no

they dont make new animals and add them on old maps

[arctic gate]

They just added wolves to medved last year

[uneven bloom]

The location of the map icon is a lie. Parque's in Patagonia, not Brazil.

[midnight moon]

thats an already existing animal on an existing map

[tribal hill]

they have before

[uneven bloom]

specifically Argentinian Patagonia

[languid wedge]

Green wing teal being like wtf am i

[midnight moon]

that came with new england mtns

[languid wedge]

Yes they were a new species being added on an old map

[arctic gate]

This is pedantic

[midnight moon]

they came with a map, but were added on other too

im saying they wont make a new animal model to put on an old map

if they do

[stuck tapir]

Weren't gemsbok, lions, white-tailed jackrabbit, mallard, euro rabbit, and Canada geese all added to existing maps

[midnight moon]

then a new map is coming along with it

[languid wedge]

Yes I know he was talking about using the icon to show that Layton was in parts Canada so I made the joke parque is in Brazil because of where the map icon is located

[midnight moon]

that was way before

long ago

[languid wedge]

It was more me making a smartass joke

[peak cedar]

What are you talking about

[languid wedge]

Indeed

[peak cedar]

They’ve done it numerous times

[arctic gate]

He’s just fishing for attention

[stuck tapir]

Well then why'd you say they'd never do it?

[uneven bloom]

Don't feed the trolls, folks

[peak cedar]

Is it a troll or more so lack of awareness in the games history 💀

[languid wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/trolls-troll-do-not-feed-the-troll-stop-feeding-the-trolls-gif-20279717

[arctic gate]

Wonder if we’ll get waterbuffalo on the new map

[languid wedge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[twilit prism]

More than likely

[peak cedar]

I mean they show an obvious tropical climate today so it would be weird to not have water Buffalo

I want a second map for them

[arctic gate]

Agreed they’re fun to hunt

[languid wedge]

I say if not it'll be it's first back fill hopefully

[peak cedar]

Water Buffalo, banteng, magpie geese and sambar deer are my top wants

[twilit prism]

Mine are roos, emus, and feral goats.

[arctic gate]

I was hoping for camels but im doubtful the map will be outback based so they’re unlikely

[twilit prism]

Don't say that. More than likely it's going to be multi biome.

[arctic gate]

It could be and id give credit where its due if it is but im not getting my hopes up

[midnight moon]

Cuz things are different now than they were 4-5 yrs ago

[twilit prism]

Look back on the Australian reserve idea. It mainly says outback. So more than likely it's multi biome.

[arctic gate]

Only time will tell

[twilit prism]

Honestly. When someone here said that Piccabeen bay is Australia I though that was bull. I thought it was Papua New Guinea

[arctic gate]

It’s very much northern Australia

[peak cedar]

Australia is very diverse

[arctic gate]

Indeed

They could have a couple of maps set there

Just like North America

[peak cedar]

Like I said before I hope they prove me wrong but I don’t see a rainforest and outback being on the same map

Not a true outback anyways

[arctic gate]

Yeah I agree if they do outback i feel like it’ll be its own map

[peak cedar]

There’s very few species that need outback to make sense most of them have adapted to other environments for the most part

Camels are the only one that really need it tbh

[tawdry nebula]

[peak cedar]

I’m interested to see how much bigger the croc models will be to gators

Because they are not the same size and I hope that’s displayed properly 😂

[midnight moon]

wont

[midnight moon]

mmmmmmm maybe not

Maybe like

some lakes in some area

some fields

some forest

but not outback

[stone turret]

Also honestly, if we don't get camels now

they would be better off in a Middle Eastern map anyways

[midnight moon]

Arab outfit wwhen that map comes fr

[stone turret]

Wdym?

[midnight moon]

this

[twilit prism]

Wwwwwwweeeeeeelllllllllllllll. We just see tomorrow

[midnight moon]

ooooooooooooooooooooooook

[tulip hawk]

Imagine if they said nothing tomorrow 💀

[blazing turtle]

If we do get a map in the Middle East or adjacent to it, Camels are extremely unlikely to be a game animal, at best it would be a Cuatro with far less water and Gazelles instead of Roe Deer

[stone dew]

Well, that comment shows you don't know what you're talking about.

[quaint lintel]

I feel like we're getting the 30 sec teaser tomorrow

[midnight moon]

it was a overdramatic joke kind of

[stone dew]

It's definitely going to be a good stream

[low citrus]

Oh for sure

[quaint lintel]

Thoughts on us potentially not getting an Outback with Kangaroos?

[low citrus]

I need to know how many species there are on the map

[quaint lintel]

Hopefully 15+ again

[low citrus]

I think it’ll be between the 12 and 16 range

[quaint lintel]

If not 8 of them birds

4 bird species MAXIMUM

[low citrus]

You’re in the info server right?

[quaint lintel]

Yea

[low citrus]

I’m already preparing to make the Australia channels lol

[stone turret]

There’s an info server?

[quaint lintel]

Nice!! Hopefully tomorrow is the confirmation of 4 years waiting being over

[midnight moon]

Imagine its not australia and its india

😆

[low citrus]

It’s already confirmed

We just need the specifics now

[quaint lintel]

We're probably never getting India

[quaint lintel]

98% xD

[mortal lark]

isn’t hunting illegal in india?

[low citrus]

It is yes

[quaint lintel]

Yeap, pretty sure, I might be wrong so no disrespect, their believe says that they turn into animals after death

[midnight moon]

not exactly

but yeah

you can turn into animal

they believe in reincarnation

you can become anything

after your death

any form

[quaint lintel]

Yea, reincarnation, that's the word.

[dusk creek]

What does that have to do with trophy hunting tho

[midnight moon]

we just talking bru?

its there beliefs in india thats why hunting banned

[quaint lintel]

It's disrespectful to kill an animal in India, basically a murder because they have been human before in past life

If we ever get tigers, it probably will be on a China map

[midnight moon]

nah

tigers highly endangered everywhere

wont add

[quaint lintel]

Yea ...

[midnight moon]

maybe leopard

[dusk creek]

They wont do southern asia

[quaint lintel]

If we get an Amazon Rainforest map in South America

[dusk creek]

thats the same premise

[midnight moon]

tf

bro

you think leopard in south america

😆😆😆😆

[quaint lintel]

Look up Amazon wildlife

[dusk creek]

Its jaguars

I know what you mean

[midnight moon]

🥸

fr

[quaint lintel]

Oh yea, Jaguars, that's what I meant lol

Not Leopard

[midnight moon]

Leopards in africa, and some Asia

[dusk creek]

leopard would come with africa 2

[midnight moon]

nh nah

[peak cedar]

yeah like before, if majority of the community is on the wrong path they steer the ship towards the right one

[midnight moon]

africa 3 is right

[peak cedar]

majority of the community thinks it's aussie if we were all wrong it would have been corrected

[dusk creek]

The only ounce of southern asia we would get to hunt would be nilgai on a stocked reserve map

[dusk creek]

It has to be

[midnight moon]

got texas for that

[low citrus]

I mean, the hints they gave were pretty damn obvious so it would’ve been hard to guess wrong

[dusk creek]

Texas would be like new england except for big game, and just involves random animals from various warm maps

[quaint lintel]

Did y'all ever play the game "Green Hell"? I love that game and rly want an Amazon Rainforest map in COTW, that's why I'm hyped for this because the tropical Australia with crocs is similar

[peak cedar]

I'm both excited and nervous on what the curveball is this go around

there's always a curveball with EW

[quaint lintel]

Few hours left

[dusk creek]

Amazon map probably wouldnt happen

its the same moral issues as southern asia

Or central africa

[peak cedar]

it would be very hard to hunt an amazon rainforest map anyways lol

[quaint lintel]

I rly think 20 maps is the endgame of cotw, we're getting 14th next month

[quaint lintel]

Bow hunting paradise

[dusk creek]

The only asian map id think would be possible is the mongol steppes, even that is a stretch

[quaint lintel]

Or Chinese map, but Himalayan mountains, not bamboo forests

[dusk creek]

Id also assume the next african map would be more desert based

[quaint lintel]

Savannah is desert based

[dusk creek]

i doubt theyd go for more water after alligators and saltwater crocodiles

[midnight moon]

cotw is coming to an end slowly

yeah

running out of huntable species and maps

[dusk creek]

Meh

itd be better to pursue better mechanics and ai behavior afterwards

[quaint lintel]

We might get 3rd TheHunter game on Unreal Engine 5

[dusk creek]

Thats unlikely because theyd just make a whole new game for that

[dusky wolf]

that is utter bull

[low citrus]

That’s just not true at all

I could name at least a dozen species off the top of my head that could still be added to this game

[midnight moon]

a dozen isnt enough to make maps for like even 2 yrs

[low citrus]

I’m sure if I actually went and researched different regions and hunting regulations of those regions I could name off 50 new animals to add to the game

[quaint lintel]

We can have at least another 2 European, 2 North American, 2 Asian, 2 African, 1 more South American, 1 more Australian (outback) maps in the future, all with tons of new animals.

[vital blaze]

Dose anyone know when epic games will go on sale

[rancid pecan]

do you have the slightest idea of just how many families of animals there are out there
and im not even talking about species, im talking about families
theres borderline infinite variety lmao
cotw wont have ran out of content till something like 2078 lmao

[quaint lintel]

But I do believe after another 6 maps ... aka 20th map we'll get Africa 2.0 and that will hang up the call of the wild

But hey, hopefully that's not the end

[dusk creek]

Honestly would rather have map updates and such

[midnight moon]

ro cotw doesnt care about that

[quaint lintel]

Yea, that's what will start coming to the game after 20th map, no more new regions

[midnight moon]

there no subspecies in cotw

only for bison and elk

[rancid pecan]

......
that was not my point

[dusk creek]

I hate that just the fact something is “new” and “fresh” is just what these companies are doing instead of fixing their old stuff

[dusk creek]

Lol no, if that were the case they wouldnt touch any of their maps because of the “variety”

[rancid pecan]

its mainly cause they need income
since they only have 2 money making niche games

[dusk creek]

There are other ways to do that but i agree, its just sad that these conpanies always go the cheap route

[quaint lintel]

New maps will stop coming out after 2027, and by 2030 all of them will be polished and the game will come to its respectful end

[rancid pecan]

ah yes larger companies have no excuses

[dusk creek]

Uh in capitalism not really buddy

[quaint lintel]

Imagine us in 2030

[rancid pecan]

i meant no excuses to go down the cheap route
their games are just cashgrab sometimes and its a shame

[dusk creek]

oh, yeah

I agree

[uneven bloom]

case in point, Game Freak and the sad state of the latest Pokemon games.

...anyways,

[dusk creek]

ca games

[rancid pecan]

pov: its 2030 and still no super rare :(

[dusk creek]

Virtually any big game you can think of

[quaint lintel]

I have one already 🙋‍♂️

[dusk creek]

And a lot of capitalist slaves not giving any shit that they dont care if they’re spoonfed the same shit every year

I will always be astounded the majority of people dont care that media in general has been on a downward slope for a while now

[quaint lintel]

You think the clue should be pinned? Idk, just suggesting

[rancid pecan]

i have 1400 hours and if i dont get one within the 2000th i swear ill collapse into a blackhole

[dusk creek]

Wouldnt we find out tomorrow anyways

[rancid pecan]

tomorrow we'll probably get just a small teaser
probably one thats similar to mississippi's gator one, but with a kangaroo instead

like this

https://youtu.be/3HCcB10YPY0

[quaint lintel]

I'm afraid there is a chance we are not getting Kangaroos after 4 years asking for Australia 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[rancid pecan]

thatd suck

hard

[dusk creek]

I mean good enough

[dusk creek]

High chance, depending on how much of the austrailia stuff it just reskins

[quaint lintel]

At least we're getting s

[rancid pecan]

tbh im not expecting both the cassowaries and the kangaroos
but at least one of the 2
mainly cause theyre both entirely new rigs and animation sets
which cost a lot to make

[low citrus]

Personally I wouldn’t be upset if kangaroos aren’t added. There’s plenty of interesting game to be hunted in Australia

[mortal lark]

imagine the kangaroos are just reskinned springboks lmao

[jade wyvern]

Yeah but like big opportunity missed

[dusk creek]

thats why i didnt care as much about austrailia because most of its roster is susceptible to just being reskins or old animals

[quaint lintel]

Yes, I would be ok with it if I know they'll make 2nd Australian map in the future like we have in Classic

[dusk creek]

im curious if itll have genuine effort into it

[quaint lintel]

Dec map is Transylvania tho ... we need 3rd Roe and 2nd Euro Bison map

[low citrus]

Mfs named Carpathian Mountains:

If I somehow predicted the December map I’m gonna be hella happy

[rancid pecan]

yes that true, but itd lose its signature animal
every map has one
...except nem
we dont talk about nem lmao

[low citrus]

Hmm that is true

[rancid pecan]

damn im tired
cant get my words right lol

[dusk creek]

Idk austrailia has cool animals…. Most of its huntable game tho is fairly generic

[quaint lintel]

They're eventually going to add Transylvania, especially after now Way of the Hunter having it, I just wonder how they're gonna fit it in the world map ... Hirshchfelden logo covers all of Romania lol

[dusk creek]

if the game was more complext in its animal behaviors i wouldnt be complaining

but like realistic austrailia game is deer, feral animals, and crocodiles

So like i wouldnt be surprised if 85% of the roster is recycled

[rancid pecan]

and flying foxes
one can only dream

[quaint lintel]

We need 2nd Australian map if this isn't Outback for Camels, Kangaroos, Emus. Dingos ... all of these are iconic animals that would be nice to be in Call of The Wild

[twilit prism]

Yes

[dusk creek]

sounds like work lol

[twilit prism]

Although. We can't forget what Jaxy said. That this is not a reserve

[dusk creek]

Can you even hunt those though

[rancid pecan]

idk

but still

would be dope

[dusk creek]

i feel like a lot of people want to add their favorite animals in the game because its cool and not the fact your murdering them all day, lol

[rancid pecan]

largest bat in the world
eats fruits and is cute

[midnight moon]

that thing ugly

[rancid pecan]

He’s paid in being allowed to change people’s names for fun and banning the naughties

That’s not an invitation for you to change my username Cash

[brisk inlet]

Releasing epic dlcs to cotw community

Ironically his favorite deer is to hunt are reindeer

[brisk inlet]

Interesting

New weapon

[final depot]

Will there be more events like the one at Easter with the hunt club?

[stark rose]

New map could be Hawaii, why dose everyone think Australia?

[twilit prism]

It's obvious

[west harness]

Because with all the hints no way it not

[round birch]

there's too many hints at it being australia

[rancid shard]

because no croc in hawaii

[twilit prism]

Also. Got a new emote today. Salty

[midnight moon]

could be south india

[twilit prism]

India doesn't allow hunting

[quaint lintel]

Hawaii isn't down under

[west harness]

Why do y’all think it not??

[midnight moon]

crocodiles

wait

nvm

I read question wrong

[tacit hamlet]

Because they also had an Australian song playing in the background of the last stream

[wind ridge]

Upside down Stream (It is said that Australia is the continent turned upside down), Upside Down words whit a capture of the new map whit a Piccabeen Palm, Australian folk song playing in the stream, Salty Croc icon ...

[abstract shadow]

[mighty dove]

Lol Hawaii

[abstract shadow]

Obviously it’s Nepal for Himalayan tahr

[tacit hamlet]

Obviously it’s the moon 🤦‍♂️

[abstract shadow]

Moon rocks

And Bigfoot

[tacit hamlet]

Bigfoot on the moon 🤯

[abstract shadow]

Bigfoot…..in the moon

Hmm

[tacit hamlet]

the upside down stream hunt is clearly referring to how you can be upside down on the moon and the Australian song refers to being able to see Australia from the moon

[abstract shadow]

Yes yes

[mighty dove]

Anyone who says it’s anything other than Australia are trolling at this point

[abstract shadow]

What

[tacit hamlet]

and Jaxy saying hop means there will be low gravity

[abstract shadow]

The salty emoji is clearly Bigfoot being salty about being on the moon

[west harness]

Everyone just watch the stream tomorrow because the is going to be a trailer I’m guessing

[abstract shadow]

I’m saying reveal stream

Like Yukon

Map reveal before trailer

[tacit hamlet]

the picture of the “new map” is actually just AI generated to throw us off

[abstract shadow]

It’s actually a fake cgi render of Australia

[west harness]

I’m with Legokid it’s the moon 🤫

[sharp walrus]

dang I thought it was mars

[tacit hamlet]

Jaxy has actually been hinting towards the moon but it kept getting delayed because of how substantial an update it is

[abstract shadow]

This is one small step for Sasquatch one big foot for squach kind

[sharp walrus]

how would we get there?

[abstract shadow]

Fast travel

[sudden ginkgo]

it's actually the tessaract inside Gargantua

[sharp walrus]

Mission: Examine the very old feces

[midnight moon]

😂

cotw losing players lmao with the content they give nowdays

majority of cotw content creators do herd management

[tacit hamlet]

People are just too picky

[midnight moon]

its pretty boring seeing same content

all the time

[tacit hamlet]

Only a select creators do constant HM content

[midnight moon]

we are the players, its are job to be like that

[low citrus]

Elaborate?

[dusk creek]

They mean games lose players when companies get a bit greedy

[midnight moon]

Run and gun animals

mass killing them

[low citrus]

Understandable

[tacit hamlet]

Except people are too critical. Every map (except Mississippi) has been good-incredible, species have been good, consistent updates, etc

[low citrus]

You know what my problem is with COTW? How it doesn’t have that same “you never know what you’re gonna find out in the wild” feel that WOTH and Classic have. It ruins the immersion when the experience you have in this game becomes extremely repetitive

[tacit hamlet]

Multiplayer gives that

[midnight moon]

cotw was meant to be like that in the beginning i bet

but content creators

just

made the game different

[dusk creek]

That is your opinion

[low citrus]

Multiplayer doesn’t work half the time. That only makes the problem worse

[tacit hamlet]

You’re saying creators as if they all did it. I can name more creators who don’t use HM than do

[low citrus]

It’s either
A. Crashing
B. Getting kicked
C. Hackers (mostly a PC problem)

[midnight moon]

NEM was a horrible decision

[tacit hamlet]

I don’t have too many issues

[midnight moon]

there was no point in that map at all

[low citrus]

That’s your experience. Mine is A and sometimes B

[dusk creek]

cause i dont think that, and i know plenty of people dont think that

The main reason people get critical is when companies begin to recycle or push out less and less to acquire funds through minimal effort

IE nem

[midnight moon]

IE?

[dusk creek]

It means for example

[low citrus]

Aside from not introducing more than one new species, NEM isn’t all that bad.
I think the small game hunting on it is really freaking good, as is hunting the waterfowl. However, the big game (what 90% of people hunt) is kinda eh

[tacit hamlet]

I like it. Put Mississippi on a better map

[dusk creek]

know that every movie/video game company will try their hardest to do as minimal work as possible when people let them

[low citrus]

I think that’s why people hate it so much. We were promised a map that you can grind 3 different GOs on, a map that has an awesome big game experience and they under delivered

[dusk creek]

i GURANTEE you thatll apply in some fashion to austrailia as it did with nem

[tacit hamlet]

Have you thought maybe NEM was lackluster because they were already working on Australia

[low citrus]

I mean, they faced pretty severe backlash over how lacklustre NEM was. I don’t think EW is willing to make the same mistake twice

[midnight moon]

Any companies job is to make the content/ product into what people will enjoy

[dusk creek]

Um yes, it was a cheap attempt to appease ppl and it turned into one of the worse maps in the entire game

Shouldnt even exist

Your crazy if you dont think austrailia will more than likely be comprised of animals that already existed

Im not saying that it will 100% be that way but its more likely than the map being comprised of new and unique features

[tacit hamlet]

Did you already forget revontuli?

Has the “lackluster” of NEM make you forget how good EW can still make maps?

At this point in the game’s life cycle with it having 13 reserves, it would be kinda hard to have a reserve comprised of entirely new species unless it’s situated within Africa

We’re bound to have returning species one way or another

No, the maps arent even the big issue

[tacit hamlet]

So what is?

[dusk creek]

i think most people care about the hunting and the animals

Nem sucks because its adds absolutely no value in that regard

[tacit hamlet]

You keep changing the subject to NEM, is that because it’s the only issue you have?

[dusk creek]

No

[abstract shadow]

For people like us maybe but not every one has every map

So some people have unique animals on nem to them just not unique to the r game

[dusk creek]

Revontuli is the same way except it actually tried something new with its small game unlike the 4 maps before it

[tacit hamlet]

So what is same about it?
