[abstract shadow]

The 4 maps before are srp te ranch and acres

[dusk creek]

Um its recycled? Not like i need revontuli to hunt or even grind moose, white tail, etc

[abstract shadow]

They had unique and interesting things about them

[tacit hamlet]

Recycled? It has 12 new species 😂

[abstract shadow]

But there still are 13 unique species

The most unique out of any map

[peak cedar]

Revontuli was the best map added after SRP took place

[dusk creek]

Yes i mentioned that but lets face it this game does small game dirty and most people at the end of the day prefer big game

[low citrus]

Revontuli has the best upland fowl and waterfowl hunting experience in the game though. It gives you the option to hunt several species of birds at the same time (separately or together) and everywhere you go there’s atleast 1 species of upland bird to encounter

Just because a reserve doesn’t focus on big game doesn’t make it bad

[peak cedar]

^

It’s literally a top 3 map easily

[tacit hamlet]

Revontuli is my favorite map to hunt just because of the upland birds

[wind ridge]

You do know that Cotw is based on recreating real Hunting Scenarios based on Real ecosystems, right?

Not based on game animals

[stuck tapir]

Bro woke up and chose facts

[low citrus]

Just look at the community, I’ve seen so many people consider Revontuli one of their favourite maps both from a hunting and grinding perspective. It not only has a great aesthetic but also gives you all the variety you could ask for when it comes to small game

[dusk creek]

ik i never said it was bad im just saying, most people prefer big game animals. And in that regard finland doesnt add anything different

Which thats not entirely its fault because its portraying a realistic environment and the biodiversity of its big game is,eh

[abstract shadow]

In classic multiple maps had nothing new

Just a new location

[low citrus]

People preferring big game isn’t an issue with a map it’s an issue with the individual whose entire hunting preference leaves out half the species in the game

[dusk creek]

my biggest gripe overall with this game is animal behavior and density

[peak cedar]

No hunting game is gonna nail behavior like how we all want let’s face it

That’s impossible to code properly

[dusk creek]

Ik but with small game specifically they made most aspects of it (other than waterfowl) boring

[low citrus]

How so? I personally think they nailed upland bird hunting

[dusk creek]

rabbits

[abstract shadow]

Well that’s kinda how it’s works they get scared and they fly away

[low citrus]

Okay rabbits are their own issue lol

[peak cedar]

They nailed euro rabbits 😏

[low citrus]

Apparently you’ve gotta kill every single rabbit in a burrow cluster otherwise none of them respawn

If that’s true that’s absolutely horrendous

[peak cedar]

It is true

[tacit hamlet]

Now that I agree on

[peak cedar]

I would know lol

[low citrus]

👹👹👹

[peak cedar]

It’s not even that bad

[abstract shadow]

Wait that’s a thing

I’ve never noticed

[peak cedar]

People just don’t know how to grind them 😂😂

[low citrus]

European rabbits are one of 20 animals I still need a diamond of

Ion wanna grind them 😭

[dusk creek]

The fact i have to grind at all is evil

[peak cedar]

Literally just main menu and they reset every time

I was killing 120+ an hour

[tacit hamlet]

How do you suppose they Change things then?

[stuck tapir]

Good thing you don't have to

[abstract shadow]

What should diamonds just fall into every ones lap

[midnight moon]

eh

there maps are mid

SRP was best imo

[peak cedar]

Personally I love it tbh, makes there super rares some of the rarest in the game automatically since it disabled HM

Their*

[dusk creek]

There are a plethora of ways to make it more engaging

Grinding simulators are just a cheap shortcut that steals people’s souls

what woth does is a step in the right direction

[abstract shadow]

The. Give an example on how to fix it

[midnight moon]

BRO cotw is just grind

[tacit hamlet]

Wrong

[peak cedar]

WOTH is literally a grinding game too just on a different aspect

[midnight moon]

which is why I also dont enjoy it lol

[low citrus]

At this point in the game’s life cycle they can’t introduce an aging system or change the way respawns work to lessen the need to grind

[dusk creek]

Thats why i said it was a meer step…

[tacit hamlet]

You keep saying it’s bad but aren’t proposing a solution

[midnight moon]

they could add trophy shots but they wont

[low citrus]

Good god we need trophy shots

[peak cedar]

If you don’t want to grind I suggest classic otherwise your gonna be unhappy with everything else on the market 😂

[tacit hamlet]

Kinda hard to do on console but I agree with that

[low citrus]

It’s still possible

[midnight moon]

there is no solution, the entrance of great ones kinda changed the game in a bad way imo

[dusk creek]

Yes because you want me to write an essay on how to solve the entire games problem

Simply put more effort into ai like i already said

[peak cedar]

I never saw the need for trophy shots personally with taxing being so cheap

[abstract shadow]

Great ones are an option not a necessity

If you don’t want to grind don’t

[dusk creek]

not to mention life cycles that refresh the populations like woth

[midnight moon]

yeah, but nowdays basically everyone is doing it

[tacit hamlet]

That’s my issue with all this, NOBODY makes you grind

[abstract shadow]

Doesn’t mean you do

[peak cedar]

Greats ones were certainly a step in the wrong direction I agree

[midnight moon]

all these content creators influencing people tat herd managment for trophies is good

[dusk creek]

granted say if they refresh you would have to lower the probability of diamonds and such even more

[midnight moon]

Great ones are basically the new diamonds

[tacit hamlet]

No. GOs are still very rare. It takes thousands of kills for one to spawn on average

[peak cedar]

Wouldn’t need great ones but they kept screwing up diamond spawns to the point they didn’t mean as much 🫣

[dusk creek]

guys was your entire year getting a deer with spikier spikes, so worth it, lol

[midnight moon]

doesnt scarecrow get a great one whitetail like every 20 kills or so?

or somthing

[tacit hamlet]

No. Ot seems like that because he grinds so much (optional)

[peak cedar]

Tru axis, scoring 2.0, 1001+ scoring animals bug

[tacit hamlet]

Again, optional

[dusk creek]

There is literally no point to this game without grinding lol

[peak cedar]

Why don’t you play something else instead of wishing how the game was?

[dusk creek]

Granted to a degree all of the games

[stuck tapir]

How is that true lmao

[abstract shadow]

I’ve been playing sense before Madge’s

Medved

[peak cedar]

Just a genuine thought 😂

[tacit hamlet]

No, you can play however you want. You can grind, you can multiplayer hop, you can hunt realistically….

[dusk creek]

Because i want it to be better instead of just accepting the slop in front of me? Plus, just opinions

[tacit hamlet]

It’d take a whole new game to satisfy you

[dusk creek]

Yes!

[tacit hamlet]

Which isn’t happening anytime soon

[peak cedar]

Yeah but you gotta realize unless you carry a big following or a lot of people also agree it means very little unfortunately

[midnight moon]

fr

Ultimate Hunting taking a while

[dusk creek]

Its because i enjoy talking about the games i think could be better, nothing more

[tacit hamlet]

Ultimate hunting is virtually dead

[midnight moon]

basically yeah

they announced wayy to early

[peak cedar]

I knew about ultimate hunting before it was even confirmed to be a hunting game project, just an idea 😂 it’s been a long time

[midnight moon]

been 2 yrs

HOLY SHIT

ITS BEEN 2 YEARS

since reveal trailer

[dusk creek]

It had bought assets that is a clear sign its going to die before it begins

[peak cedar]

I remember the original Q&A they did for the community when it was publicly announced

[wind ridge]

Please move to the general channel, they are filling this one with offtopic

[midnight moon]

nerd

[wind ridge]

[tacit hamlet]

He’s right, we shouldn’t be talking about ultimate hunting here

[dusk creek]

Yall moved on i didnt

i think austrailia will have too many current animals in it

[tacit hamlet]

And how many is too many?

[stone dew]

@dusk creek Can you please remove the eating small children from your bio

[peak cedar]

Lmfao

[dusk creek]

?

[tacit hamlet]

🤣

[dusk creek]

Um ok

[midnight moon]

dw i do that too

[peak cedar]

I’m weak 😂💀

[dusk creek]

Literally dont have nitro

[stuck tapir]

Which do you think?

[midnight moon]

thats why its based on one region dumbasss

😆

its based on coastal forest

some maybe fields

and lakes

[tacit hamlet]

Hopefully some Outback aswell

[midnight moon]

nope

a coastal rainforest cant just transition to an outback

[tacit hamlet]

It’s possible

[midnight moon]

plus its not correct area for outback'

[dusk creek]

Everything from te awoara except chamois has a really good chance of filling in austrailia

[tacit hamlet]

Rancho….

[wind ridge]

Rainforest + Subtropical bushland + subtropical plains, is what we can expect now

[midnight moon]

racnho has a rainforest?

[dusk creek]

depends on how big the map is

[tacit hamlet]

Rancho had 3 completely different biomes

[midnight moon]

but were all related to a desert

[dusk creek]

That makes no sense

[midnight moon]

some places with more trees

in rancho

[wind ridge]

Rancho is Bushland + Desert bushland + Dryforest of selva madre + pine-oak forest

[languid wedge]

[midnight moon]

some more desert

[dusk creek]

Need more desert maps

[languid wedge]

and snow

[dusk creek]

Need more realistic foliage placement too

[midnight moon]

but im talking about 2 opposite biomes here, A lush rainforest, and a dry dead desert cant transition into one another

[dusk creek]

Thats just classic isnt it

[stone dew]

yes it can

[wind ridge]

I hope that's a joke xD
each plant of each map is a recreation of a real one

[peak cedar]

omg not this debate again 💀

[graceful dawn]

wait can i finally react with external emojis? they showwing up in the emojis

[peak cedar]

I thought we all came to the conclusion we wait until map reveal

[midnight moon]

if it was a eucalyptus forest to outback, it would make sense

[graceful dawn]

oh its just in this channels

dont tell jaxy

[low citrus]

[peak cedar]

[languid wedge]

Bro hasn't seen the funky stuff Africa does

[midnight moon]

Im talking about in a singular areaa

[languid wedge]

Hell what the Nile single handled does

[midnight moon]

a reserve

[tacit hamlet]

Srp too. Plains to Rocky Mountains

[low citrus]

Axis deer, red deer and fallow deer all have a really good chance of coming back, seeing as how they’re all present in Australia irl iirc

[midnight moon]

but those go together

[stone dew]

Only Nitro users can

[peak cedar]

you borderline hunt the mountain on SRP tbf

[tacit hamlet]

Uh no, they don’t just come together like that

[peak cedar]

animals get janky

[low citrus]

As a nitro user, I cannot use external emojis elsewhere in the server

[languid wedge]

Mississippi goes from swamp to farmland to mountains

[midnight moon]

rainforest, and desert cant because they legit opposites

[graceful dawn]

only this channel

[low citrus]

Which SUCKS

[stone dew]

Maybe they're only set for this channel. Lemme see

[midnight moon]

mississipi aint have any mtns

[graceful dawn]

exactly

[tacit hamlet]

We are forgetting one major thing, it’s a game

[peak cedar]

I'm not sure the same thing is being argued 😂

[low citrus]

[languid wedge]

As a mod and nitro user this chat and in real life hunting is the only two chats I can use external emojis in even when I did boost the server

[stuck tapir]

Parque goes from steppe to beech forest to coastal swamps

[low citrus]

I was straight up considering removing my boost when they removed external emoji perms

[peak cedar]

none of these examples are opposites of one another

[quaint lintel]

[languid wedge]

[low citrus]

[quaint lintel]

[low citrus]

[quaint lintel]

[stone dew]

I'll check with Jaxy

[languid wedge]

Real hunters

[quaint lintel]

[low citrus]

[wind ridge]

River coast, they are not swamps really, it is land devastated by aquatic buffaloes, that is why the trees look like this, devoid of bark and dry.

[languid wedge]

Did that green pointy part stub its toe and it just turned red

[quaint lintel]

You know .... ah, nevermind

[languid wedge]

[quaint lintel]

😂😂💀

[main maple]

if it is au and the entire map is green w/ NO desert it'll be surprising

[peak cedar]

I'm still trying to figure out how "they can't make an aussie map both rainforest and outback" to "yes they can, parque has a coast and swamps" is at any way a good counter 😂

that's like two entirely different topics lmfao

[tacit hamlet]

It’s still a game and doesn’t have to make sense

[quaint lintel]

In reality we still know almost nothing, tomorrow might completely shock us

[peak cedar]

yet people complained about blacktail to SRP

[languid wedge]

Because the chat got a hold of some of the crack that parque has been using all these years

[peak cedar]

"doesn't have to make sense"

[sudden ginkgo]

Creative liberties can be taken for the sake of gameplay. Hard pill for some folks to swallow, ofc

[stuck tapir]

That's why I wasn't countering anything lmao, just showing examples of different biomes in a single map

[tacit hamlet]

I think people would be too happy to complain

[peak cedar]

turn off your @ I'm literally right here

[languid wedge]

You know something none of us as mentioned

[peak cedar]

good lord 😂

[sudden ginkgo]

oh boy you’d be wrong

[languid wedge]

The biodiversity that exists in Yukon

[tacit hamlet]

I actually didn’t know that was a thing

[languid wedge]

Ping

[sudden ginkgo]

Pong

[quaint lintel]

Like north to Australia?

[peak cedar]

we know it's not 100% outback via palm tree. I'm happy about that

[low citrus]

I’ll always hate the argument of “it’s just a game”
See, Call of Duty could suddenly add in kaiju to MW2 and have there be a game mode where you take it down. It’s just a game. It can make no sense right? But it doesn’t because why on earth would Godzilla be in the CoD universe? Games establish rules for themselves and when people go “it doesn’t have to make sense” they don’t consider if what’s proposed to be added breaks the rules that the game has established

[languid wedge]

Bungalong

[main maple]

could be

[midnight moon]

0% outback probably

[quaint lintel]

That's like literally the 0.8% of the map

[peak cedar]

which is still not 100%

[languid wedge]

That one palm tree that decided to grow in the desert

[wind ridge]

that is a Piccabeen Palm and and this is the geographical area where they exist..

[tacit hamlet]

Except in This case it isn’t too big of a inaccuracy

[low citrus]

By that logic COTW should get a new reserve where you hunt aliens because, yknow, it doesn’t have to make sense

[mighty dove]

Why would they do a map at Outback? I like steak too but I don’t think the restaurant is that good

[languid wedge]

Wtf is in the smack dab middle of the country

[sudden ginkgo]

[quaint lintel]

Come on y'all we don't know what they planning ... they can just make a giant Half and half Australian map to never come back to this continent again

[peak cedar]

sometimes I feel like they gotta kill the animal before I get my plate. They're so slow

[low citrus]

I was moreso commenting on the “it’s just a game” excuse people always resort to, not specifically this case

[wind ridge]

If I'm not mistaken, that's a botanical garden xD

[languid wedge]

Lmao

That one tree growing in a garden LET'S PUT IT ON THE LIST BOYS

[low citrus]

See you’re wrong because nothing exists in the middle of Australia

[peak cedar]

grey eastern roos looking more likely 😏

[quaint lintel]

So it's gonna be Eastern Australian map

[main maple]

Jaxy brought up the heat waves being a thing you can only see in vurhonga in one of the streams, I dont see heat waves being a thing in a "green climate" outback makes sense for heatwaves

[sudden ginkgo]

Anyways drinking game time:
Take a shot every time someone uses the emote

[low citrus]

[peak cedar]

[quaint lintel]

[low citrus]

That’s 8 right there

[sudden ginkgo]

You guys are paying for my liver transplant btw

[languid wedge]

[midnight moon]

its gonna be very hard to transition from a lush green forest to a dead desert

[peak cedar]

[fading gorge]

As an Aussie I am laughing

[languid wedge]

Good go back freezing to death

[wind ridge]

It is information from the Australian government page so there is no error xD

[quaint lintel]

R.I.P. Cash ... never got a chance to see the Feral Cats on Australia

[mighty dove]

There’s gonna be a big ass river in the middle of the map separating the two biomes. EW loves their big ass rivers

[sudden ginkgo]

Take it out and replace it with a singularity and not much would change

[wind ridge]

is the Auckland War Memorial Museum

[tacit hamlet]

I’d excuse the river if that’s the case

[quaint lintel]

And those big ass rivers are not even rivers ... we don't have flowing water in this game 💀

[languid wedge]

Big ass trenches

[mighty dove]

Are you blowing hard enough?

[quaint lintel]

CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE GETTING JUNGLE MAP WITHOUT A SINGLE WATERFALL

[languid wedge]

I honestly don't believe the engine could handle waterfalls

Because I don't think there's a waterfall in any game that uses this engine

[quaint lintel]

Angler?

[mighty dove]

You’re not a waterfall

[quaint lintel]

Or its different

[wind ridge]

The game engine cannot recreate moving water

[languid wedge]

Iirc it's different

Because there's no waterfalls in JC 3

Iirc

[mighty dove]

Is the water not moving in CoTW

[quaint lintel]

If Call of the wild had flowing water, narrow rivers and waterfalls ... this game would just skyrocket

[peak cedar]

apex cannot handle flowing water

[quaint lintel]

No ... those are just fake one directional waves that are only on PC

[peak cedar]

they did an okay idea replicating a similar idea with the magnet system for waterfowl though

[quaint lintel]

You should see the water on PS4 💀

[languid wedge]

There's no water underwater

The water is basically a level you can go through

[quaint lintel]

Yeap ... water is the biggest weakness of this engine

[mighty dove]

You’re telling me all that water and it’s just a lie

[peak cedar]

hair imo is the biggest

[quaint lintel]

That too

[languid wedge]

Yes

[quaint lintel]

When Te Awaroa came out, I wouldn't believe we won't have Tahr until now

[sudden ginkgo]

Ask @languid wedge how it handles feathers

[peak cedar]

you notice it on male bison the worst

[quaint lintel]

Hey wanna hear a joke? 💀

[peak cedar]

[sudden ginkgo]

[peak cedar]

is that a trophy shot only bug?

[quaint lintel]

Why cats aren't allowed in church?

[peak cedar]

or what it like that in the lodge

[midnight moon]

is it possible they ever fix it or is it a problem until they switch engines

[sudden ginkgo]

why not

[peak cedar]

it's an engine limitation

[sudden ginkgo]

One does not simply
switch engines

[peak cedar]

only way around that is new game

[midnight moon]

oh i know

[languid wedge]

Yes they do it's called remasters

[peak cedar]

yeah it's not like cars, no engine swaps

[sudden ginkgo]

As in
Switch the engine on the existing game”

[languid wedge]

yes

[quaint lintel]

Cause they are CATalyc 💀

[languid wedge]

[peak cedar]

remastered games are still considered a "new game" imo

[mighty dove]

Okay but when CoTW has seen it’s day I wonder if they will make another hunting game because I would be really sad if they don’t

[sudden ginkgo]

Now I have seen games switch engines, but that was only to a newer iteration of the engine they were already using

Like UE4 to UE5

[peak cedar]

I was gonna say

[fading gorge]

Reduxing

[languid wedge]

Cotw UE5

Imagine

[peak cedar]

They chose Apex because visually it's better than what UE4 was at the time

[sudden ginkgo]

COTW in unity

[languid wedge]

And the company that owns the company that made the game owns the engine

[peak cedar]

that too

[midnight moon]

cotw Ue8

😂

[fading gorge]

Speaking of engine upgrades I need to check out the UE5 remake of layers of fear

[languid wedge]

That's just real life

[peak cedar]

even though for the most part apex isn't all that great imo

[quaint lintel]

Actually, here's where I took it 😂

[midnight moon]

damn ok then W

It is my most played map because is like home

Also the house style accurate too

cool

how about the species

are they accurate

[midnight moon]

i bet

i meannnnnn

it's just a very large bird

the rig wouldn't be much harder than making the leg bones a bit longer and adding a neck bone

or making the neck bone longer if there already is one

[rancid pecan]

Same with kangaroo tho

[rancid pecan]

Nah its harder than it sounds

And costs lots of money

New type of animal = new rig bones and a whole new animation set

With dozens of animations

[quasi holly]

i guess i'm just talking about the rig though

animations are a whole different beast

and texturing makes my brain hurt especially with hair and feathers

hyped for the kangaroo tho

gonna cop me an albino one

[quasi holly]

what is this?

preview for the new map?

[limber cliff]

Oof. That's real unfortunate tbh

[graceful wharf]

yes

[quasi holly]

🧐

[left adder]

I really hope it is a piccabeen and bushranger collab

[quasi holly]

yeah

surely tho

they're not about to make us hunt kangaroos in a jungle right

surely

surely

they did it once with rancho they can do it again

[left adder]

yeah

i mean its australia

you cant have australia without kangaroos

[quasi holly]

quite a diverse country fr

[left adder]

I love Australia, it is the place I call home 💪🇦🇺

[quasi holly]

going on roadtrips in this country is genuinely like playing a platformer

you'll fall asleep in the car surrounded by pine trees and mountains and then wake up in the literal desert

[left adder]

i love them nrma holiday park

[quasi holly]

thw what

nrma makes holiday parks??

[graceful wharf]

[left adder]

[graceful wharf]

but how could it not be

[left adder]

yeah

it 100%

[graceful wharf]

ive been waiting since 2018

[mortal lark]

[vital blaze]

4 hours till start

4 1/2 hours till we get to see action

[left adder]

Imagine he is on the new map😱

That would be so amazing

he actually loads into it

[vital blaze]

He probably will be

[left adder]

🤞

[vital blaze]

I'm depicting 3 weeks till drop and finish Bugs

So thare is a good chance he will be on the map for a little while

[graceful wharf]

we all could be getting all hyped for no reason at all cause they might not reveal it this stream

[left adder]

he already got to play it

[vital blaze]

That's highly unlikely

[left adder]

Im jsut gonna say

minimum

teaser trailer

[graceful wharf]

yeh but i could happen

[graceful wharf]

yes

there needs to be sambar deer at least

[left adder]

but you know...

i would mind a full trailer...

[graceful wharf]

who wouldn't

[vital blaze]

Jaxy said "DO NOT MISS NEXT WEEK"

[rancid pecan]

Were likely getting a teaser trailer today
Mississippi style

Not the full trailer

[limber cliff]

^ that's what I'm thinking

[vital blaze]

How long were you here

[left adder]

kangaroo reveal?!?!?!?

[rancid pecan]

A year and a half

Almost 2

[vital blaze]

New Steve Irwin skin 😲

[quasi holly]

okay GUYS GUYS listen I'm betting my LIFE on this: they're going to make a trailer of the wilderness and then a kangaroo is going to hop by, but you will only be able to see its legs and it's going to be really quick, and that will be the entire trailer, MARK MY WORDS ON THIS

[rancid pecan]

Very likely yeah

[vital blaze]

steve "THE GOAT" irwin

[left adder]

SOMEONE PIN THIS

[quasi holly]

PIN IT

DO IT

[vital blaze]

Oh that would make a very emotional experience

In a good way

[left adder]

@limber cliff Pls pin pidalskis prediction

[quasi holly]

and there's gonna be didgeridoo music or some shit in the back just WATCH

[vital blaze]

Hopefully the new song will be louder today

And be released

[quasi holly]

i expect a prize of 10 thousand dollars in hard cold cash from EW if my prediction is correct

[vital blaze]

Lol 🤣

I want in on this

[graceful wharf]

imagine if the new maps music is just AC/DC

[vital blaze]

I come from a land down under

[quasi holly]

WHERE WOMEN GLOW AND MEN PLUNDER

[vital blaze]

It's not doing the thing

[left adder]

he said this

[limber cliff]

Because embeds aren't allowed

I see what he said

[vital blaze]

?

[left adder]

PLease pin 🙏

[limber cliff]

It won't proc the image clip because embeds aren't allowed.

Please stop asking

It's in recent messages, and you have screenshot and posted it

[vital blaze]

I'm sorry in advance

[limber cliff]

For what

[vital blaze]

This

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said

Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover"

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said

[limber cliff]

Ah

[quasi holly]

WRONG

he did not say "Ah"

[limber cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/owl-stare-blank-stare-gif-11668709

[left adder]

Cops are tops

[vital blaze]

Do you guys think I should go fishing right now (walk thare) or wait until 7 when the bus run (thare free)

[limber cliff]

Uh

Is it not free either way

[jade wyvern]

What time is the stream

[vital blaze]

It's about 2-3 miles and it's 45°F

[limber cliff]

That's good Temps yo

[limber cliff]

Roughly 4 hours from now

[vital blaze]

Ik it has been 80°-90°F the past week

I believe jaxy lives on the west coast as well. Am I correct

[left adder]

where u fishing and for what

[vital blaze]

I won't say whare

Probably rainbow but right now anything (sunfish bass crappie is whats in the lake)

I still haven't caught anything on my fly rod

I will probably stay until around noontime

[jade wyvern]

Poppers would be super good to catch sunfish and bass on the fly. I do it often

[limber cliff]

Correct. So like 9 or 10am for him

[languid wedge]

It be 9 am

[limber cliff]

It's hard to timezone once it gets above 7hour difference for me haha

He's the same timezone as my parents and the sister I acknowledge, so I just ballpark it 🤣

[languid wedge]

Lol

I just know they start at 12pm my time

So people ask when stuff is I tell them 3 hours or 6 etc

[tawdry nebula]

can’t wait

for the stream

[vital blaze]

Yes 9 am

Well 8:50 ish

[unkempt condor]

What timezone?

[vital blaze]

West coast

[unkempt condor]

Of usa?

[vital blaze]

Yes

[unkempt condor]

Cause on east coast it's 8:48

[vital blaze]

Pacific time I think

[unkempt condor]

West coast is probably 5:48

[vital blaze]

You would be correct

[stiff leaf]

how long till stream

[limber cliff]

3ish hours

give or take some mins

[stiff leaf]

[tacit hamlet]

It’s outback plus piccabeen!

[limber cliff]

[arctic pond]

But idk

[wind ridge]

We were right, Rainforest + Subtropical Shrublands + Plains ❤️

[limber cliff]

"14 animal species, including iconic fauna such as the Eastern Grey Kangaroo and Saltwater Crocodile, new side and story missions, and the new Zagan Varminter .22-250 bolt-action rifle."

.22-250 😩

[arctic pond]

🥵

[limber cliff]

"Also, releasing for free alongside Emerald Coast, the Outback Update adds a new Australian-inspired character outfit, a redesigned Harvest Screen, multiple bug fixes and improvements, and much more."

[vital blaze]

The hunter call of the wild would like to announce

[icy stratus]

When is coming soon? Lol

[jade wyvern]

BANTENG

MAGPIE GOOSE

New great one is only only on hirsch and the new map

[mortal lark]

no fucking way

[jade wyvern]

2 new multi mounts

[limber cliff]

Mid June-ish

[rancid pecan]

I cant tell
Is that a red kangaroo or a grey kangaroo?

[midnight moon]

[final depot]

magpie goose

banteng

saltwater

[jade wyvern]

Eastern grey

[limber cliff]

Grey

[mortal lark]

[limber cliff]

[midnight moon]

[limber cliff]

Additionally, this update introduces a new ‘Great One’. Sightings of this majestic animal have been reported in Emerald Coast and Hirschfelden Hunting Reserve!

[final depot]

new go

[limber cliff]

Hnnnnnn

[quick plinth]

yooo wallaby hunting coming

[final depot]

fallow

[mortal lark]

fallow

[arctic pond]

Cmon

[remote vine]

Fallow are on other maps tho

[jade wyvern]

So that’s probably all the native… hopefully there’s till samber and Rusa deer

[arctic pond]

New harvest screen and more!!

[stuck tapir]

.22-250??? Let's fucking go

[vital blaze]

Sorry but your a little late

[rancid pecan]

Cotw try to stop reworking the harvest screen challenge (impossible)

[midnight moon]

banteng are endangered so they are testing how people will react

[gaunt fossil]

Yes, I noticed, and deleted 😉

[arctic pond]

Wait wait wait why only hirschenfelden and the new map????

[stuck tapir]

They're feral in Australia and legal to be hunted

[midnight moon]

oh

[vital blaze]

FLEEING CALLS

[stuck tapir]

What species would only be Hirsch and Australia? 🤔

[limber cliff]

Think of maps that might have the animal shared

[mortal lark]

gotta be fallow

[limber cliff]

Fallow are on TA as well though

[rustic quarry]

Ooo I wonder what the updated audio system is going to be like.

[rancid pecan]

Nice quality of life addition with the fleeing calls
Also cool, customizable tents

[limber cliff]

So.. Not a Fallow GO?

[arctic pond]

I think so

[stuck tapir]

Fallow are also on Te Awaroa tho... I feel like they would've mentioned that

[rustic quarry]

Are Fallow on Hirsch?

[limber cliff]

Fallow are on Hirsch, TA

soooo

[arctic pond]

It can be euro bisons but it’s impossible

[stray basalt]

I’d think the opposite,Honestly

[rancid pecan]

Red fox?

[arctic pond]

Nothing else

[tacit hamlet]

Are they adding euro bison to Australia

[remote vine]

Maybe they'll add a new animal to Hirsch

[limber cliff]

Not water buffalo, as they are also on Parque

[arctic pond]

Nope

[vital blaze]

YES I ASKED FOR COSTUM TENTS AND WE GOT IT EEEEK😆

[final depot]

garoos 🙀

[rancid pecan]

Well

Euro bison

Ig

[arctic pond]

?

[rustic quarry]

Roe?

[stuck tapir]

I guess they might not have mentioned it to not reveal immediately

[stray basalt]

I’d be too obvious if they said it’s on te

[arctic pond]

Idk man

[limber cliff]

Roe are on like 3 or 4 maps

[stuck tapir]

Yeah I think you're right

[rustic quarry]

Woops xD

[remote vine]

Australia isn't European, even if they're in Eurovision

[stuck tapir]

It's has to be fallow

[vital blaze]

Best update in a while

[arctic pond]

It cannot be the rabbit cuz it is also on te

[stuck tapir]

Only other thing that fits would be euro rabbit

[limber cliff]

but genetically started out as brits which... Used to be european?

[rancid pecan]

Imagine 💀

[tacit hamlet]

On te awaroa

[limber cliff]

I hope it's fallow, tbh,

[arctic pond]

No way

[vital blaze]

Bru

[limber cliff]

Like maybe they#re just being sneaky and hiding it

[arctic pond]

Cmonnnnnn

[barren bobcat]

Wild boars?

[stuck tapir]

There's no species Hirsch and Australia can share that wouldn't be on Te

[remote vine]

The criminal bison must have been sent over as well

[hardy grove]

pretty much every animal on Hirschfelden is on one or more other reserves, except for euro bison...

[rancid pecan]

hell yes

[vital blaze]

Whare

[rancid pecan]

AAAAAA

[vital blaze]

Did

You

Find

THIS

[rancid pecan]

Steam?

[rustic quarry]

Those pictures look amazing.

[midnight moon]

[arctic pond]

@shrewd crown found it first

[rustic quarry]

Seems like the upped the graphics of the game too

O.o

[rancid pecan]

Rusa

[glad abyss]

Sambar or Rusa

[arctic pond]

Rework!!!

[limber cliff]

[stray basalt]

FERAL GOAT REMODEL

[mossy atlas]

14 species!!!!

[stuck tapir]

YOOOOO

Let's fucking gooooooo

[vital blaze]

Salt water crocodile 100% confirmed

[lusty orbit]

It says that new GO can only be found on Hirschfelden and the new map, the hell?

[stuck tapir]

I wonder what all my goats will look like in the lodge

[stray basalt]

They look more Muscular now

[rustic quarry]

Hunt some of Australia's most iconic fauna, including the Magpie Goose, Banteng, Saltwater Crocodile, and Eastern Grey Kangaroo.

[vital blaze]

Go look on steam

[stuck tapir]

Plus now I know there's goats on the new map 😏

[rustic quarry]

Expand your hunting arsenal with the new Zagan Varminter .22-250 Bolt-Action Rifle. Light and comfortable to shoot, it's the perfect companion for any hunting trip.

[stuck tapir]

This is about to be the new best map fr

[limber cliff]

Have goats been trurack'd yet?

[stuck tapir]

I'm so pumped

[stuck tapir]

Yep

[brisk inlet]

Holy cow

They’re amazing

[jade wyvern]

Okay this looks good

[wintry saddle]

So what we know so far is it’s Australia probs has salty croc and new go

[vital blaze]

The new towers are cool af

[jade wyvern]

Sooo we are going to get a preview of the reserve now I’m guessing

Instead of just a trailer

[stuck tapir]

Y'all idk if I can wait this long if goats are getting reworked 😂

[wintry saddle]

Lol

Any release date?

[jade wyvern]

No

[vital blaze]

Not at this time

[rustic quarry]

It's usually approx 6 months after the release of the last map

[rustic quarry]

When did New England Mountains release?

[jade wyvern]

That looks so good

I hope there’s feral hog

[craggy crescent]

so many new species holyy

[sudden ginkgo]

Release schedule has usually been late June and early December

[vital blaze]

New "layton lake cosmetic pack"

[stuck tapir]

14 species is awesome

[dense birch]

ahh the trailer ❤️

[brisk inlet]

What class will 22-250 be

[vital blaze]

12 new skins

[midnight moon]

28th or 29th day of next month

[rancid pecan]

HD steam pics

[jade wyvern]

Open space. Water is not too covered in brush. Perfect.

[rancid pecan]

Also 2 new deer species?

[hallow latch]

The banteng looks great.

[vital blaze]

4 paints
3 sprays
2 camos
1 premium wrap
2 materials

[mossy atlas]

14 species on the map

[stuck tapir]

Rusa and sambar I think

[stray basalt]

I LOVE this photo so much

[red violet]

What the new GO gonna be? aaaaah

[rancid pecan]

Unknown

[jade wyvern]

This may be one of the best maps now

4 deer species is going to be wild when fallow and axis are confirmed

[lusty orbit]

So far:

1. Eastern gray kangaroo
2. Saltwater crocodile
3. Banteng
4. Magpie geese
5. Rusa/sambar deer or both
6. Feral goat

[jade wyvern]

7 species have been shown

[spring minnow]

My bet is on fallow GO, unless they mean the new GO is found only in Hirsch and this map

[dense birch]

i would imagine its fallow they may have forgotten te lol no other species would really fit that

[limber stump]

That’s only six out of 14

[red violet]

Goat GO..a real...G.O.A.T mahahah xD

[stuck tapir]

If it was only Hirsch and Australia they'd have to put euro bison on Aussie which doesn't make any sense

[split charm]

OMG

OMG

AAA

[potent bane]

The animals looks gorgeous

[split charm]

Aaaaa

[lusty orbit]

Maybe they didn't want to make it obvious which is why they excluded Te Awaroa

[proven portal]

Probably

Seems pretty strange otherwise.

GO canada goose or something

[dense birch]

true ya wanted to throw us off

[graceful wharf]

its pretty much a fallow g1

[dense birch]

im so hyped its been awhile since i was this hyped XD

[midnight moon]

Feral goats look good

[limber stump]

The harvest screen is being re done

[sick sable]

OH MY GOD ITS COMING YESS

HOLY SHIT

[spring minnow]

Not really leaving much options 😄

[sick sable]

BEST MAP EVER!!!

[lusty orbit]

Kinda shame it's the gray kangaroo and not red, but i understand why, then again they are in Classic.

[red violet]

Female feral goats have cow udders. Hope they fix that one day...

[stray basalt]

Now that Sambar or Rusa are shown,Red Deer,Fallow,Hog Deer,And Axis Im hoping are coming as well

[proven portal]

hot

[midnight moon]

holy this map looks incredible

[unkempt condor]

It's set on the east of Australia

[mossy atlas]

there's room, 14 species

[dense birch]

im so happy its where the crocs are gonna be so wild hunting them

[keen belfry]

It is a 14-species map

[weak cloud]

I'm hyped for the release

[graceful wharf]

YES hahha

[dense birch]

so many possibilities for new species im fine with the 14 lol

[midnight moon]

maybe new england mountains had no new animals so they could work more on this

[jade wyvern]

We have 6 new species already

[keen belfry]

So we have 8 more open slots to fill it seems

[rancid pecan]

Fallow deer 382949% also
And red fox

[split charm]

will we get gameplay in today's stream?

[stuck tapir]

Hoping for axis and water buffalo too

[red violet]

How about....some whitetail? Clearly need more maps with them cough

[jade wyvern]

No

[keen belfry]

Axis probably, not sure on buffs but Banteng is good enough for me

[rancid pecan]

@languid wedge can ya pin this pls?

[dense birch]

bantang and water buffalo on the same map would be amazing

fear of being trampled everywhere XD

[stray basalt]

No place your safe,sounds like my kind of map lol

[lusty orbit]

God i hope it has water buffalo

[rancid pecan]

Bout time we got a new class 9 animal
Last one was plains bison on yukon 4 years ago
2 thirds of the game's lifespan ago

[midnight moon]

frr

[dense birch]

omg i know thats what makes me happy lol can finally break out the big guns

[stray basalt]

I’ve never thought about that…wow

[rancid pecan]

Thanks tyk!

[peak cedar]

Magpie goose let’s go!!!!

[keen belfry]

Also, the .22-250. Nice to see that make it in

[tidal edge]

I have never been this hyped for a map for sure

Kangaroos are so far definitely my favorite

[midnight moon]

what are they

[jade wyvern]

Looks like Rusa and samber

[mossy atlas]

yep looks like rusa and sambar

[limber cliff]

this totally derailed my studying

I got some time still before stream

[red violet]

lol

[jade wyvern]

6 new species so far

[limber cliff]

ping me if y'all need something

[red violet]

leaves room for 8 more species

[keen belfry]

Might also get Hog Deer

But that's a maybe

[sudden ginkgo]

Meow

[hearty ravine]

No date yet?

[valid cape]

Ima shoot a kangaroo

[sudden ginkgo]

Nada

[limber cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/helltaker-modeus-rainbow-frog-hearts-love-gif-17509308

[hearty ravine]

Blah! Lol

[peak cedar]

I got 2/3 of my top species wanted couldn’t be happier 😂

[graceful wharf]

They added gray kangaroo because they are the only species available to hunt in Australia 🇦🇺 and either way you need a permit to shoot them

[dense birch]

also the music for the trailer is really nice excited for that too

[split charm]

first one: sambar deer
second one: rusa deer

[rancid pecan]

Well then
Let the games begin
1 sip of beer everytime someone asks

[proven portal]

Is Kangaroo gonna be class 3 or 4 in COTW standards?

[stray basalt]

What time is the stream?

[rustic quarry]

Rusa deer look nice.

[keen belfry]

I hope class 3, but 4's fine too

[stray basalt]

I’m thinking 3

[sudden ginkgo]

Approximately 2 hours, 20 minutes from now

[proven portal]

Yeah probably

Like Roe

[stray basalt]

Thanks

[sudden ginkgo]

roe roe roe your deer, gently down the stream……

[lusty orbit]

What class would sambar be?

[stray basalt]

6

[mossy atlas]

so that's 7 species, what are the other 7 going to be? at least 1 needs to be what is on hirsch (I'd say fallow) for the new GO

[split charm]

maybe we will also get water buffalo

[stray basalt]

I love the look of the Salties,what class do you think they will be,hoping not 6 hoping either 7/8

[proven portal]

Do we really need two class 9 on one map?

[keen belfry]

7 seems like the best bet for the crocs

[sudden ginkgo]

Hey, Vurhonga did it

[proven portal]

Think so too

Yeah that's true

But two buffalo on one map?

[hallow rover]

Are we getting a 22. 250? I cant check steam but if so

That wpuld be lit

[keen belfry]

I mean they did it in Classic, aside from the Banteng being docile

[tacit hamlet]

We are

[stray basalt]

I’m excited,some of my favorites to hunt

[hallow rover]

Lets goo

[graceful wharf]

Yes

[jade wyvern]

Yes

[proven portal]

lmao

[lusty orbit]

They can more than 500kg tho

[graceful wharf]

No

About 350kg

[hallow rover]

22. 250 gotta be 2-4

[mossy atlas]

I'd guess fallow for the new GO, but it is going to be on the new map what ever it is

[hallow rover]

Coyotes would be so fun with it

[proven portal]

Or 1-3?

[hallow rover]

Yeah that too

In real life you can take whitetail with it

[proven portal]

Personally I'd really like a 1-3 type weapon

[hallow rover]

So it feels like class 1 is pretty big

[split charm]

i want dingos

[hallow rover]

But that could work

[proven portal]

I've seen someone take a whitetail with a 22hornet so not that strange

[hallow rover]

Dingos would be fun

[graceful wharf]

The 22.250 will be a buffed 223

I reckon

[keen belfry]

Dingos are certainly possible

[mossy atlas]

I mean there's 14species and looks like we've seen 7

[hallow rover]

If its a 1-3 that would be so noce

[proven portal]

I'd really hope so

[limber cliff]

My grandad got a .22H specifically for this when I was a kid. I would LOVE for a 1-3 so I could streamline my loadout and stop carrying 4 weapons and none supplies

[hallow rover]

Ilthe lodout could be 22 250 7mm and 300
