[mighty dove]

Dude the last picture won’t come through come on shawty

BOOM

Quick pictures for you

[vital blaze]

Ty

[languid wedge]

Why is the last one a gameplay pic

[mighty dove]

Because it’s the first one I found stop harassing me

[vital blaze]

Oof

[languid wedge]

[languid wedge]

Loser

[mighty dove]

No one replied for thirty minutes I was doing god’s work

[vital blaze]

Ik kc alredy named them but ima do it anyway

[mighty dove]

FOR FREE

[sudden ginkgo]

** **

[languid wedge]

I'm sorry I was buying 80 gowd damn nuggets from McDonald's

But

I got here to help first

[mighty dove]

I could go for a tea rn

[languid wedge]

Sweet tea

[mighty dove]

No one replied until I started typing so I don’t wanna hear none of it

[sudden ginkgo]

** **

[mighty dove]

Yes, from McDonald’s

Hm, maybe that is what I will treat myself the day of release

[languid wedge]

There gallons is

[thin sage]

Or NZ.....

They could just adjust the coyote model and give them the wolves pack mentality 🤷🏻‍♂️..... if it I that easy

[dusk creek]

Its not considering accurate dingoes look very different from both

Because they stepped up their game in recent years

more old animals need tlcs more in my opinion than backfilling and trying to get them to add dingos to Australia

[wind ridge]

There no Dingoes in Queensland (Emerald Coast) just Wild/Feral Dogs..
And I'm sure no one would like to hunt dogs xD

The term 'wild dog' refers collectively to purebred dingoes, dingo hybrids, and domestic dogs that have escaped or been deliberately released.

[quasi holly]

bit sad that they immediately revealed all the fallow great ones

i liked what they did with the black bears

[stray surge]

hackers man

its sad but we're not gonna get that kinda thing regardless

[quasi holly]

hunter cotw players try to have fun challenge (impossible)

i hate people who think everything must be optimized and immediate with this agme

if you like grinding so much go play farming simulator

[stray surge]

whuh

what'd i do

[quasi holly]

not directed at you lol worded that wrong

[dusk creek]

?

[quasi holly]

hardcore grinders

and hackers

[dusk creek]

Optimization is key? Its like one of the staple rules of video games

[stray surge]

he means hackers spawning in the new great ones

[dusk creek]

Oh

But yes grinding is by far the worst aspect of this game

[stray surge]

ion know about yall but i like grinding for rare trophies lol

[dusk creek]

And then followed by ai

meh

rare trophies are cool

Itd be more cool to stumble upon them than spending the majority of my time killing virtual animals

[tacit hamlet]

Modding takes that spot

[dusk creek]

Hacking and modding is just a general issue that every game faces

[stray surge]

i mean... irl hunters spend crazy amounts of time hunting for big trophies

i know its not the same but. gets the point across i think

[dusk creek]

its different…. More variables

[stray surge]

yeah true

[dusk creek]

The issue is there arent enough variables and outcomes in cotw. While yes it is cool to get the trophies, but it doesnt entirely encapsulate what its like getting a trophy animal in real life

[tacit hamlet]

Of course, you can’t recreate the feeling of killing something irl

[dusk creek]

IE its a video game thats arcady

[dusk creek]

No, but theres plenty of ways to capture the mystique and aw of encountering trophy animals

The problem isnt the killing

The problem is how i find trophy animals that makes it feel lifeless in my opinion

[tacit hamlet]

Maybe that’s the case for you but when I get something insane (SR pronghorn for example) I get extremely excited

[dusk creek]

I like the trophies

Who wouldnt get excited for stuff like that

Its just that the work i have to put into getting a trophy animal doesnt feel like hunting when i understand how the game works

[tacit hamlet]

It definitely isn’t the same hunting style as irl but if they were to do that it’d be boring imo

[dusk creek]

i dont think so

I think if they overhauled how the animals function itd be much more enjoyable for the people that dont stick to the game as much

If there was more dynamic or random variables i think it would be very refreshing

[tacit hamlet]

First off, there’s not gonna be a widespread overhaul in this game due to age. Second, the AI would be very difficult to create adding that much variability

And it’d cause even more room for bugs and stuff like that

[uneven bloom]

If by "overhauling how animals function" you really mean "removing need zones" that's never going to happen.

The entire game is built around the need zone system

and like lego said, the game is too old for a complete overhaul to be worth the time or effort.

[dusk creek]

No not what i mean

I would like to think there are some tiny ideas that would be possible to integrate into the game that wouldnt make the game feel so numerical

[carmine mason]

Hey I need to talk

[vast arrow]

What mister

[carmine mason]

Theses a knocking in my attic should I investigate

[vast arrow]

If you have a shotgun, go ahead

[dusk creek]

like rabbits for instance would be a perfect way to start making the game’s animals feel better

[vast arrow]

What are you trying to say? More simpler terms

[mighty dove]

What about rabbits would you change?

[tacit hamlet]

Honestly, based off my experience with rabbits they act exactly like irl

[stray iron]

Who’s ready for the great one fallow my fallow lodge will be complete now

[dusk creek]

I always thought rabbits were the easies things to sneak up on

I just find it funny that its easier to hunt down moose than rabbits

[vast arrow]

I have no clue what the next one could be

[dusk creek]

i think their spook ranges and population ranges are just too large

Very forgettable lol

[tacit hamlet]

Well, rabbits don’t really have a “wow” factor

[carmine mason]

Ok if we get a backfill on the new map what should it be

[tacit hamlet]

They’re just there to flesh out a map

[dusk creek]

Duh

[tacit hamlet]

Water buffalo

[carmine mason]

Maybe blackbuck

[dusk creek]

Theyre practically invisible

[vast arrow]

Emu

[tacit hamlet]

Wouldn’t mind that

[vast arrow]

I want a bird that I can shoot and it not fly away from me

[tacit hamlet]

In some cases, yes. Scrub hare definitely need some reworking

[vast arrow]

Maybe give them need zone times too?

[carmine mason]

I have that concept drawn out same a dingo and great one water Buffalo

[tacit hamlet]

They have need zones

[vast arrow]

Do they have drinking?

[tacit hamlet]

No

[dusk creek]

Rabbits in my opinion should be almost as convenient as hunting the birds are

[quasi holly]

NEW POOP REVEAL 🔥 🔥

[carmine mason]

Think we all know what that is

[tacit hamlet]

I’m all for that. I love the antelope jackrabbit but they’re impossible to hunt

[carmine mason]

🦘

You know what would be better than dingos and emus on this map

[vast arrow]

Nothing

[tacit hamlet]

spiders

[carmine mason]

This

[tacit hamlet]

Cassowary?

[carmine mason]

Yes

[tacit hamlet]

They’d have to be as aggressive as buffalo

[carmine mason]

More aggressive than buffalo

[tacit hamlet]

Form what I’ve heard they’re demons

[carmine mason]

Not as bad as magpies

[tacit hamlet]

Really?

[carmine mason]

Alright I’m drawing out a great one water Buffalo

[dusk creek]

I would like a rework of aggressive animals though

Very happy crocodiles are being fixed for that and so are the alligators

[carmine mason]

We need new attack animations

[dusk creek]

meh

[carmine mason]

Would look cool

[tacit hamlet]

I just want more aggressive animals

[stray basalt]

Illegal to hunt

[dusk creek]

Sure but id rather the more aggressive animals actually pursue attacking when your close enough

[carmine mason]

It’s a video game but ok

[dusk creek]

Lions are the BIGGEST let down

[carmine mason]

Yes

[tacit hamlet]

Definitely

[dusk creek]

Only been attacked by lions once

[tacit hamlet]

And grizzly

[stray basalt]

I’m just following Ew’s rules

[dusk creek]

Brown bears

Blacks bears kinda

[carmine mason]

I want man eaters not whatever those are

[stiff leaf]

h

[dusk creek]

Fuck deer attack back when your close enough

[tacit hamlet]

Not really. They pretty much never attack unless cubs are involved

[carmine mason]

Black bears are not that aggressive

[sudden ginkgo]

Black bears are known to be non-confrontational

[carmine mason]

Yea apparently they run

[sudden ginkgo]

Grizzlies, however, are a different story

[tacit hamlet]

Grizzlies NEED to be more aggressive

[stray basalt]

Grizz could be aggressive within 500 meters of a feed zones

[sudden ginkgo]

Yes

[carmine mason]

And lions and alligators

[sudden ginkgo]

Grizzlies should have a higher chance of going aggro

[dusk creek]

Pigs

[carmine mason]

Wolves are maybe

[sudden ginkgo]

For lions, they should honestly have a 100% aggro range

[carmine mason]

Boars should be aggressive

[sudden ginkgo]

Like, if spooked in that range, they will try and one-tap you

[carmine mason]

Same as geese

[uneven bloom]

I'd be okay with lions being more prone to aggro so long as the buffalo aggro-ness got nerfed a little

[sudden ginkgo]

Get close enough to some hogs, fire a shot, and see what happens

[uneven bloom]

otherwise I guarantee you I'd never touch Vurhonga again

[carmine mason]

Are elk aggressive like moose or no

[dusk creek]

nah africa would be fun as hell

[uneven bloom]

or, heck, just guarantee flee mode when you use the ATV.

[stray basalt]

Onb

[sudden ginkgo]

Would incentivize bringing the 470 more

[tacit hamlet]

They can be but it’s quite rare

[sudden ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/goose-geese-angry-goose-angry-geese-gif-25500704

[dusk creek]

Pumas sneaking up on you 😎

[sudden ginkgo]

Geese are known to be quite territorial

[carmine mason]

So we should make them attack from time to time like when there is a female nearby

[sudden ginkgo]

apparently the way you deal with geese, btw, is to put a death grip on their upper neck

[dusk creek]

Thats just obvious

[tacit hamlet]

I’d say give them the current bear/lion aggression

[carmine mason]

Ok what herbivores need to be aggressive

[stray surge]

i dont live in an area with geese (thankfully) but i always thought the gameplan was punt them

[dusk creek]

Idk a lot of animals charge if your too close…. White tail do it, rare, but they do it

[sudden ginkgo]

nah, just drive over them with a tank

[carmine mason]

I saw this kid chase a magpie goose let’s just say things didn’t go to well

[tacit hamlet]

Anything class 7 and up for sure. Pigs, wildebeest, and bobcat should also go aggressive at certain points

[dusk creek]

Small stuff would be funny

They should embrace their arcadiness in that regard

More animals attacking would be overall better as long as it was portrayed in correct amounts

[tacit hamlet]

Look at capercaillie

[stray basalt]

I have never been attacked by a capercaillie

[sudden ginkgo]

(Yet)

[tacit hamlet]

It’s halarious

[sudden ginkgo]

Just let them go through their motions

[carmine mason]

Wildebeest are aggressive?

[sudden ginkgo]

Don’t kill them immediately

[tacit hamlet]

They stampede at you

[carmine mason]

You know what dose need to be aggressive

[dusk creek]

used to

old wildebeest were cool (my game was running 20 frames lower)

[tacit hamlet]

Irl I mean

[carmine mason]

Gemsbok need to be aggressive

[tacit hamlet]

That’s why I said anything over class 6 should have some level of aggression

[carmine mason]

Class 5 or class 4 but yea

[dusk creek]

Granted theres a difference in aggression levels

[carmine mason]

Why are mule deer class 6 ?

[tacit hamlet]

They’re fairly large

[dusk creek]

a white tail for instance would never attack you unless you exposed yourself within just a couple feet

[carmine mason]

They are around the size of whitetails and blacktails

[tacit hamlet]

Bigger

[carmine mason]

They should still be class 4

[tacit hamlet]

Whitetail are 200 pounds while mulies 300-350

[carmine mason]

How heavy are red deer

[stray basalt]

Well then sika should be class 3

[tacit hamlet]

Probably 400-500 lbs

Mulies should be class 5 at the lowest

[carmine mason]

Then why are mule deer up with red deer

[tacit hamlet]

Tankiness plays a factor too I guess

Gemsbok are same weight as mule deer but are class 8. They’re also one of the tankiest animals

[carmine mason]

I’m show my great one water Buffalo concept tomorrow

[stray basalt]

“A mature high-country mule deer buck is one of bowhunting's most formidable challenges. Some would say that a mature mule deer buck is the most difficult critter to take.”

[carmine mason]

Where do I post concept art?

[vast arrow]

#🖼️︴fan-art I think

[carmine mason]

Thanks got a few thing I want to show

may show them tomorrow morning

[latent light]

Fat deers need more gpu power ☝️🤓

[wind ridge]

Update GPU drivers or change fan curve or change the thermal paste or maybe your gpu is close to dying xD

[latent light]

The fat deer's theory is true

[wind ridge]

This game uses mostly GPU resources, so it is quite demanding on the hardware, make sure you have disabled the power saving profile and check that the fan speed curve is correct and increase its revolutions

If your screen has V.Sync then disable the one in the game or your gpu will explode xD
try activating or deactivating the option within the game to see if the temperature normalizes, it is most likely that it is that

[slim tree]

Is there a possible date for map release like 3-4 weeks

Is anyone else like say whaaaa that wallaby’s and emus weren’t added

[carmine mason]

Where’s the actual Australian animals we need more like wallabies and dingos and emus

[wind ridge]

Emus are a protected species in Queensland

[slim tree]

Yo my bad

I forget that

I’m in Texas and you can hunt basically anything

I can go pay 750$ to go shoot a emu in Uvalde if i want 2

[midnight moon]

aigt im back

[final depot]

so the outback part of the new map will be desert?

[midnight moon]

Quote by Homer Simpson: “Trying is the first step towards failure”

[midnight moon]

homor dumb

[left adder]

Me when kangaroo

[upper ridge]

They look very weird

[stray basalt]

They look like kangaroos…

[upper ridge]

No it's that pose they're in

[midnight moon]

Tf

[stray basalt]

Normal?

[upper ridge]

Theyre hunched over too far forwards

Maybe just perspective idk

[midnight moon]

thats a different species

[midnight moon]

because they crawling

and walking

[upper ridge]

It's the same species

Eastern Grey

[midnight moon]

that looks difficult

like

a female red

[left adder]

That’s how they walk

[upper ridge]

I've never seen them do that

[midnight moon]

then maybe touch grass more

[upper ridge]

Do you live in Australia?

[midnight moon]

No

[upper ridge]

So despite not living here you mean to tell me how this animal is meant to behave

[midnight moon]

just because u live in aus doesnt mean you know exactly how an animal moves

[strong dust]

he just chillin

[quasi holly]

i will refuse to do any of the missions if the narrator for emerald coast is the same one in the teaser trailer

he sounds like an australian trying to do an american accent

[upper ridge]

Here some pictures I've taken you tell me what you think

[quasi holly]

absolutely fucking owned

i'll just say it

[upper ridge]

It's what I thought

[quasi holly]

EXACTLY

us aussies get to complain because we live in this shithole

and yeah kangaroos are more upright

[upper ridge]

They need somebody with some real heavy ocker

[quasi holly]

a real brexit geezer

[upper ridge]

Essentially

[quasi holly]

where was this?

[upper ridge]

Local park

[quasi holly]

where

i'm a suburb rat i have no experience with animals

[arctic gate]

Those are some funny looking dogs

[strong dust]

lol

[upper ridge]

A large metropolitan city suburb we'll just say

[upper ridge]

[magic cypress]

They have nailed the roos! I’m an Aussie from the country and they walk like that heaps! Species list is awesome too just shattered Dingoes didn’t make the cut 🙄

[midnight moon]

none of them walking

[earnest echo]

Really hope the alert kangaroos stand up and stare at you like they do irl

[midnight moon]

they probably will

[earnest echo]

🤞

Can’t believe there’s no euro rabbits on the map

[midnight moon]

its a tiny thing

why care so much

[earnest echo]

Everyone in aus has hunted rabbits

They’re everywhere in the country

[wicked mulch]

I think it’s better that we get new species than the old rabbits

Which also don’t look that great

[low citrus]

Hopefully euro rabbits and water buffalo get added in as backfill species later on

[earnest echo]

You reckon they’d add a new species (not in the game yet) after the release

?

[midnight moon]

nobody cares about bunnies in cotw lol

[low citrus]

Maybe

One day I’d like to see entirely new species get added as backfills to older maps

Like greater kudu on Vurhonga for example

Would be a great way to bring attention back to the older maps

[earnest echo]

The Aussie map is a bit unrealistic

[low citrus]

Elaborate

[midnight moon]

cry about it then

[earnest echo]

Chital and rusa live across the country from the other deer species

And banteng live up north away from them too

[midnight moon]

cry about it

[earnest echo]

Bro you good?

[midnight moon]

if you want realism

touch grass

[low citrus]

Some level of leniency is expected with a few locations

If I remember correctly, weren’t both rusa and sambar in Piccabeen’s bay in Classic?

[earnest echo]

Yeah I wouldn’t expect two maps in Australia

[earnest echo]

No idea I don’t play classic

[low citrus]

Also, aren’t sambar an imported species? From what I can tell they’re native to the Southeast Asia region

Please correct me if I’m wrong

[earnest echo]

There no native deer in Australia

[midnight moon]

kangaroo are the deer

of australia

[earnest echo]

Sambar come from India

[low citrus]

Then the explanation could be that both rusa and sambar were imported into the same bit of land that Emerald Coast is situated in

[uneven bloom]

They are, yes

as are banteng

and magpie geese

[low citrus]

Hey Lyra

[uneven bloom]

👋

[earnest echo]

There’s like 3 native species in the map lol

[midnight moon]

watchu gonna do about it?

[low citrus]

It’s the same exact case with Parque but it works just fine

[earnest echo]

Hunt them

[midnight moon]

ok good

hunt em

stop complaining

and

hunt

it is what it is

[low citrus]

We’re allowed to question things

[earnest echo]

^

[midnight moon]

he not even questioning lol

he legit saying

[low citrus]

Should people not wonder why water buffalo aren’t on the map even though Australia is known for water buffalo hunting?

[earnest echo]

No complaints here. Just observations

[midnight moon]

hm

[low citrus]

Should we not wonder why we didn’t get red kangaroos instead of eastern grays?

[languid wedge]

To have a new species different than classic?

[low citrus]

You aren’t helping

[earnest echo]

I like the Easterns because that’s what I’ve grown up around

[mortal depot]

Most native species in Australia are protected. Most of the huntable species here are non-native.

[earnest echo]

Yeah I know

Australia and New Zealand would have little variety of game if not for introduced species

[languid wedge]

How about you stop being a dick to people people can have their own opinions questions and complaints it's not your job to be an asshole to them or I can make you stop very fast

And to add something else

[languid wedge]

As somebody that has spent hours on end tracking rabbits spent 6 hours using a map to find every borough on his New Zealand map and still regrets to this day of not having something to shoot a level 3 European rabbit I found on hirsch when I first started I greatly care about rabbits and hares, it would be so cool if they had added them to Australia because.
number 1 they use hands down one of the neatest mechanics in the game with the borrows nothing else uses those and I wish there was prairie dogs on silver ridge peak using the same mechanic and it would be cool to have a mechanical in Australia running around and finding burrows,
Number 2 they are on the map in classic and add a lot to the map itself having the small little bunnies to kill so there's no real reason why they could not have added them there's multiple people in the server that has spent hours and hours grinding them in both games so don't just go out and say nobody cares about the rabbits in the game when there's plenty of people that do

[low citrus]

getting diamond hare/rabbits is incredibly impressive imo because of them being so challenging to find and hunt

[earnest echo]

As someone who hunts them a lot irl. I think it’d be awesome to hunt them on cotw on a home map

[languid wedge]

Exactly

Also willow ptarmigan are stnuk

So how y'all today?

[earnest echo]

When can we expect the map’s release?

[languid wedge]

Probably end of June

[earnest echo]

End?

[languid wedge]

That's what I'm expecting

[earnest echo]

Damn

[languid wedge]

It very well could be before

That's just when rev dropped and rancho

[earnest echo]

Not that I’m complaining or anything but, what stops them from releasing the map tomorrow if they wanted to? Are there things that need to be sorted out first?

[languid wedge]

It's most likely very far from being completely finished it's just in a state for testing and Jaxy to show off stuff

They also have stuff they have to do with Xbox and Playstation for the console versions and PC

[feral ferry]

1.) they want to let CC play it before it releases 2.) polishing 3.) releases have to be scheduled beforehand to have it be released simultaneously on all platforms

[earnest echo]

CC?

[languid wedge]

Content creators

Streamers and YouTubers

[earnest echo]

Ahh

[languid wedge]

Which they get access to it the weekend before the release typically

[earnest echo]

Who does all the research on the animals and what a diamond should be

[languid wedge]

Probably a group of people they have

And I don't know how much they use it but typically scoring is used off of real life scoring methods

[feral ferry]

they just choose what a diamond is basically

[earnest echo]

Wonder how big the team is

I’m just super excited for sambar and roos

[feral ferry]

the numbers in the truscore system mean absolutely nothing except the total

[gray cedar]

fantastic spelling there 🙂

[midnight moon]

fr thanks

[low citrus]

Console certification, last minute polishing, content creator betas, etc

Many reasons

[earnest echo]

I hope the salties are aggressive

[midnight moon]

bro did you guys just notice

[low citrus]

Jaxy did say they will be aggressive

[midnight moon]

the word therapist

is

Basically

The Rapist

💀💀💀

[earnest echo]

Hopefully really aggressive

[low citrus]

Incredibly on topic

[midnight moon]

just sayin

[earnest echo]

They literally hunt humans

[low citrus]

and also incredibly childish

[low citrus]

We’ll have to wait and see

[earnest echo]

Imagine if they made it so the crocs attack you if you walk along the shore

[low citrus]

They’re the species I’m most excited for

[midnight moon]

bruh they just like gators

[earnest echo]

Bigger and better

[low citrus]

God I can’t wait to find a rare saltie

I hope they give them several piebald variants like with alligators

[midnight moon]

they gonna be exactly like gators

just

diff name

[earnest echo]

I hope they look really big

[low citrus]

Saltwater crocodiles have an entirely new model and can weigh well over 1000kg, 450+ more than American alligators

[twilit prism]

@low citrus I hope they are class 8 or 9

[low citrus]

I think they’ll be class 7

Maybe 8

[earnest echo]

If lions are 9 crocs should be 9

Also, why are lions 9?

[low citrus]

Lions shouldn’t be class 9s

[earnest echo]

Class 6

[stray basalt]

I heard they scored them because of how dangerous they are

But they aren’t so…

[low citrus]

Lions should be class 7 at most

[low citrus]

Lions weigh less than every single animal that’s in class 7 right now

Even less than black bears

[earnest echo]

I must say, the fur textures of every new species so far has been really nice

And the models

Although the face of the hog deer looks slightly off but i still love it

[coarse lintel]

Would anyone use a 6.5 or 270 on a lion hunt irl?

[dapper matrix]

when do you think emerald coast will release

[low citrus]

Probably in 2-3 weeks

But at the moment

[stray basalt]

Hell no

[low citrus]

Soon™️

[coarse lintel]

There's alot I disagree with the gun and class system, but lions being in class 9 actually makes logical sense

[stray basalt]

Yeah,I get many mixed sources but 45-70 seems to be the one of lowest one can use on Lion

[coarse lintel]

And 375 h&h

[mossy atlas]

thought this was interesting crows removing ticks from kangaroos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCNH66ar-6s

[humble slate]

i have been rlly behind of all the updates but if someone can tell me when would the map come out approx

[limber cliff]

+/- 3 weeks or so

Summer map has always been mid/end of June

[humble slate]

ok thanks

[humble slate]

oh ok

[limber cliff]

That's as narrow ballpark as I can give you right now

[humble slate]

yeah thx

[limber cliff]

Ofc 🙂

[long spade]

Jaxy said they were doing things differently this time, makes me wonder

[limber cliff]

Right?

We'll see more content I think on Tuesday

And probably get a little bit clearer idea

But boy oh boy they love to tease us

[long spade]

It would be a REALLY nice surprise for them to drop it june 1st

I wonder what changes they're making in the update too, they made no mention of the smaller changes they always add with these big updates

[limber cliff]

Well we got to see a cleaner/streamlined harvest screen

But idk if it's because it's so drastically different looking or what - it's visually weird

I desperately want to be able to bulk buy. Let me click purchase for ammo - and then arrow click in order to go from 10-200 count

[long spade]

Actually I liked the new harvest screen, and the new fallow model is really nice looking

[long spade]

Oh God, please let that be a QoL adjustment

[limber cliff]

Looks SO good. I love their rework

[limber cliff]

I think I'll like it once I experience it more

But it's just different looking right now

[long spade]

is it just me, or does the harvest screen change every update?

[midnight moon]

yep

[long spade]

Part of me just wants a customization setting to pick the type of harvest screen i want to use

[midnight moon]

yeah that would be cool

[long spade]

We'll be able to customize tents according to their page, i'm a little surprised we got tents before the scopes

[normal cliff]

Is it just me that prefers the old harvest screen?

I hope they not done away with X-Ray mode to see where your shot connected. I didn't see it in Jaxy's stream.

[long spade]

Which version did you mean, I know of 4

[midnight moon]

the one we have right now and the one that is coming out is the best so far in my opinion

i didn't like the fact you can see through the background on the previous ones it made the animal look funny

[limber cliff]

^ I really like the solid background

[glacial flame]

The solid background is really nice

I just wish the harvest screen didn’t have the big black bars on the sides in the inspect screen now

[long spade]

That "and more" has my attention

[left adder]

The new outpost is a tradie 100%

i mean outfit

i cant english for the life of me

[long spade]

I feel that, it's too early for me

[left adder]

Its getting pretty late for me

its almost 9

pm

[long spade]

Okay either it's our first 2-5 rifle, or a 2-4 that's incredibly better than the .223 (I hope, my .243 needs a break)

[long spade]

it is 5 am for me lol

[left adder]

where in the world are you bro

[long spade]

SE USA

[upper ridge]

Hi vis orange camo

[left adder]

greed

n

we need this as a skin

and bunnings as an outpost

Aussie outpost

[upper ridge]

Replace ATV with old landcruiser 75

[left adder]

no

a ute

or a holden commodore

[upper ridge]

That is a ute

[left adder]

oh

[upper ridge]

How else are you supposed to spotlight roos

[left adder]

i just give them a little love tap

[earnest echo]

You got a photo?

I wanna see the new harvest screen

[limber cliff]

its somewhere in this chat, holupaminute

[amber crater]

me too i had a old suggestion before the fourms that had aton of votes lol would save my finger soo much pain lol

[limber cliff]

@earnest echo #🦡︴cotw-scotland message

[amber crater]

i hate how small everything is dont mind the font though

theres just alot of empty space tho

[earnest echo]

You got a full pic?

[amber crater]

think i can get one one sec

[carmine mason]

Man 😕

[amber crater]

best i could get just grabbed it from stream

[earnest echo]

Wtf it sucks

Imma have to squint to read anything

[amber crater]

ikr

the current one is fine imo

[earnest echo]

And the dark background takes away from the model of the animal too much

Even in the current one

[amber crater]

i like the dark background

[earnest echo]

Yeah I just think it should pop a bit more

[amber crater]

fair

[limber cliff]

I didnt, no. I was clipping the GO's and their types tbh

[gray cedar]

actually the majority of h. commodores (blahhhhhh) arent utes

😉

me cant wait, want a big bad salty trophy 😄 oh yeah!

[red violet]

salty multimount that grabs a deer or a pig

just came to my mind

[long spade]

two new mm's are being added

[red violet]

something like that would be cool

[carmine mason]

This would be cool if dingos were eventually added

[long spade]

So this is how the redone goats will look? Honestly, i really like it

[carmine mason]

I like it to looks more feral than this

[main maple]

my boy got a glow up

[long spade]

Is this the Rusa or Sambar?

[carmine mason]

I think Rusa deer

To small to be a sambar

[long spade]

thought that, but the antlers are thick enough to make me wonder

Nvm its Rusa, the antlers are wrong for Sambars

[carmine mason]

Any cool concepts for this map

[midnight moon]

They should've replaced red deer with dingos

[carmine mason]

Yes but they should also add wallaby’s and emus

Not enough Australian native species but it’s still a good map

I give it a 8.5/10

[midnight moon]

Emus would be cool

[mighty dove]

Agree

[fickle rose]

Did anyone catch the GO track weight?

For Fallow lol

[grizzled basin]

No, but I think I heard someone say they're something like 140kgs

Don't quote me on that lol

[dusk creek]

Did they say they edited the goat?

I don’t remember

[long spade]

I posted a pic just a bit earlier scroll up

[dusk creek]

It honestly just looks like lighting

[tacit hamlet]

No, it’s definitely a rework

[dusk creek]

Did they say?

[tacit hamlet]

Not 100% but I believe so

But that picture is confirmation anyways

[brittle pumice]

no but its clearly new textures

[dusk creek]

I know regular fallows were 100% re edited

I cant tell

Still looks the same to me, just looks like good lighting

[tacit hamlet]

Compare the two. Very different

Fur just looks better overall

[dusk creek]

Maybe

[long spade]

its easier to see in the face and neck

[grizzled basin]

Not a huge rework, but definitely a huge improvement

[grizzled basin]

There's also more fur on the arse

[limber cliff]

I call those 'chaps' when talking to my dog 😂

[grizzled basin]

I usually just say ass but arse is a lil more polite lmao

[limber cliff]

😂 truth

So, regarding all those screenshots I just linked, all the GO's are 110kg or more

I think the lightest one is 111

[grizzled basin]

Ah, thanks

[wind ridge]

No Dingoes in Queensland
Emu are a protected species
🙄

[fading gorge]

Fraser Island would like to have a word

[carmine mason]

Maybe they will add them later like lions and gemsbok

[grizzled basin]

Aren't lions also endangered, though?

[stuck tapir]

Vulnerable I think

[wind ridge]

no, are Vulnerable

[grizzled basin]

Still you'd imagine they'd be protected in real life

[limber cliff]

They also werent initially on the map iirc - were added after some heavy backlash about Africa with no Lions

[grizzled basin]

So bullying the devs works? 🥰

[carmine mason]

You can also hunt lions irl

[carmine mason]

Ask nicely for them

[fading gorge]

Devs maybe. Mods no

[grizzled basin]

Didn't know that lol

[grizzled basin]

Also, that was a joke btw

[wind ridge]

Yes, but for that very reason there will not be another map of Africa and they will have to keep waiting

[carmine mason]

You can hunt them in Namibia and South Africa

[limber cliff]

Yes, but - and dont quote me on this - it's regulated is it not?

You can't just go shooting all willy nilly

[carmine mason]

Some places yes

[grizzled basin]

I'd imagine they are

Some subspecies actually are endangered

[limber cliff]

Bullying might backfire - you catch more flies with honey than vinegar

[carmine mason]

Yes that’s true

[grizzled basin]

Dw, I'd never 💖

Still hoping they get added eventually, tho

[limber cliff]

There's always a chance! We can absolutely ask

[carmine mason]

Yea it’s fine if they done

[carmine mason]

Yes

They would probably just add them by surprise

[fading gorge]

On my way to harrass devs

[grizzled basin]

We ride at dawn boys

[limber cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/snape-harrypotter-silence-gif-5262094

[long spade]

they could do like three more africa maps with plains game making up most of the diversity

[carmine mason]

One in Namibia and one in Tanzania

Maybe one in Senegal

That would be cool

[long spade]

Mozambique's Okavango delta would be my dream map

[carmine mason]

That or Botswana

[long spade]

Tbh, don't care for elephants one way or another, but hippos would be FUN

[fading gorge]

You dont yell as mean as Cash

[limber cliff]

What do you mean

I'm the meanest mofuh up in this

[fading gorge]

His Silence meme hits harder

[limber cliff]

Mine makes me sad

[midnight moon]

<@&393042322499305473>
Do we Know when There will be a rellese date put out for Emerald Shores

[long spade]

Guys, I'm curious how the new rifle will muck up the system again

[fading gorge]

Ohhhh they done @ the mods

[long spade]

Nope, maybe tuesday they'll tell us

[midnight moon]

THANKS

[limber cliff]

There is no cement date - if you show up to stream on Tuesday you will hear more - possibly including a potential release date.

They traditionally release the summer stuff around mid to end of June

also, you dont need to at the Mods for that haha

[grizzled basin]

Man's looking for free nitro 😭

[midnight moon]

YES

[long spade]

Cash would have either posted a meme, or maybe grabbed the catnip to forget

[midnight moon]

The name is So funny lots of down bad discords mods @ Me in al the servers im in

[grizzled basin]

LMAO

[brittle pumice]

i mean what better place to look than a hunting games server

[grizzled basin]

Most of the mods here seem chill tbh

Oh no it ain’t catnip this time

[limber cliff]

Its.... Catcid?

[grizzled basin]

Man I want whatever he's on

[brittle pumice]

hes on a good nights rest and a healthy diet

hes also on top of a lot of grass and puffing a bunch of fresh air

[long spade]

I . . . .dislike puns to great extent

[sudden ginkgo]

Prepare for some pun-ishment then

[long spade]

I'm out

[sudden ginkgo]

[brittle pumice]

[limber cliff]

it wont work

[mossy atlas]

weight range on the stream for the fallow was 111-138kg so probs max weight of 140kg

[brittle pumice]

[long spade]

at least i don't ask when the release date is 9 billion times an hour

[brittle pumice]

when is the release date tho?

[midnight moon]

bro nobody knows

[brittle pumice]

but more importantly how is the release date?

[raven oriole]

June 32nd

[brittle pumice]

yup

[sudden ginkgo]

I’ll do you one better

why is the release date?

[brittle pumice]

ok but where is the release date

[midnight moon]

not here

[sudden ginkgo]

Nowhere to be found

[long spade]

this is from the steam page, so i'm guessing final design, question is, why target rifle inspiration all of sudden?

[brittle pumice]

thats not very helpful

[shrewd kestrel]

I didn’t know kangaroos were hunted

[brittle pumice]

never had a bowl of roo stew?

[midnight moon]

they basically like deer of australia

[midnight moon]

ew

[shrewd kestrel]

I don’t eat meat

[midnight moon]

nasty

I only stick to chicken fish and goat

[brittle pumice]

i was hoping you would just say no so i could reply with me neither but this complicates things

[shrewd kestrel]

Lol no big

[midnight moon]

you got a problem with him being vegetarian?

[brittle pumice]

no but im not one

[midnight moon]

he is though

so

deal with it

[shrewd kestrel]

I used to eat tons of meat

[brittle pumice]

people can eat what they want idc

[midnight moon]

ok

[shrewd kestrel]

I’ll be 50 soon. I don’t need it anymore

[midnight moon]

Understandable

I was thinking to go vegetarian when i turn 18

[tacit hamlet]

Just curious, why did you go vegetarian?

[midnight moon]

he legit said he has no need for meat anymore

[tacit hamlet]

What’s that supposed to mean though?

[midnight moon]

that

he

doesnt

need

meat

no need for meat for him

[shrewd kestrel]

I don’t need to contribute to animal suffering when I enjoy plenty of other foods available to me. If I didn’t have other choices I’d eat animals

[tacit hamlet]

Technically you don’t ever need meat if you eat enough of other protein rich foods

[midnight moon]

then lets all go vegetarian

since we dont need it

[tacit hamlet]

No

I’m never giving up meat

[midnight moon]

Why?

lol

🤣🤣

[brittle pumice]

nah im sticking to meat

[tacit hamlet]

Because it tastes better and it’s healthy

[midnight moon]

tofu and eggplant are good too

[shrewd kestrel]

I’m not expecting 18 year old males to quit meat

[midnight moon]

meat substitutes

[midnight moon]

I am though

[grizzled basin]

Carnivore for life 💪

[midnight moon]

I vowed

[brittle pumice]

bc its tasty

[tacit hamlet]

And if we didn’t kill animals they would become too overpopulated

[tacit hamlet]

Tofu 🤢

[midnight moon]

tofu is good

[brittle pumice]

eh not the farm animals we can control that pretty well

[grizzled basin]

We essentially created livestock animals. They aren't found in the wild

They don't rlly exist for anything else

[tacit hamlet]

I meant wild animals. Deer, groundhogs, etc

[midnight moon]

Wtf people eat groundhogs?

nasty

[tacit hamlet]

I’m eating that for dinner

Tastes like pork

[brittle pumice]

ye?

[brittle pumice]

its pretty good

[midnight moon]

Grosss

[tacit hamlet]

You like tofu 🤷‍♂️

[brittle pumice]

how is that gross but a deer isnt

[midnight moon]

because tofu good

[midnight moon]

deer is

too

[tacit hamlet]

Do you like catfish?

[glossy garnet]

Groundhog does just sound kinda eww tbh

[midnight moon]

I had it once i think

[shrewd kestrel]

ANYWAY. What have I started. Back to the game discussion. Has anybody heard if side missions will be included with the new map ? I’m a mission junkie

[midnight moon]

but i don't remember taste

[tacit hamlet]

They will

[wind ridge]

capybaras taste like pork too xD

[brittle pumice]

i think so

[tacit hamlet]

It’s one of the most widely eaten fish in the US and it’s a bottom feeder. That means it eats trash

[shrewd kestrel]

Im doing the NEM missions currently I’m so glad they put the side missions a back in

[brittle pumice]

id say dont eat my species but now i kinda want to try it

[brittle pumice]

lots of catfish are predatory to

[midnight moon]

Tf you monster

Why would you eat a rodent

[tacit hamlet]

Because they’re food…

[midnight moon]

Its legit the biggest roden in the world

[midnight moon]

rodents are not food

[wind ridge]

Because it's tasty xD

[tacit hamlet]

People In Louisiana eat nutria quite often. They’re a rodent

[midnight moon]

🤮🤮

[tacit hamlet]

Anything can be food

[midnight moon]

Well we have easy access to food

so we dont need all this exotic stuff

[graceful dawn]

so your calling things youve never tried or even heard of disqusting

[midnight moon]

we have chicken beef pork literally waiting in stores

[tacit hamlet]

It’s not exotic, it’s readily available where people it eat

[unkempt condor]

Have you ever eaten dog shit?

[wind ridge]

In Argentina we have a saying: "Every animal that walks, flies or crawls goes to the grill" xD

[graceful dawn]

[midnight moon]

so you think eating rodents is ok?

[tacit hamlet]

Yup

[unkempt condor]

It is

[midnight moon]

💀

[mighty dove]

It’s all meat in the end

[wind ridge]

meat is meat

[graceful dawn]

as long as they dont have a disease and are not from a new york alleyway

[fading gorge]

Come the appocalypse I am eating the weak if I have to.

[brittle pumice]

how is it any different from other wild species

[midnight moon]

bruh who knows where those wild animals have been

[tacit hamlet]

That’s too far

[tacit hamlet]

Who knows where that stuff in the store has been

[midnight moon]

its been in factories being prepared

[brittle pumice]

im open to try anything

[midnight moon]

duh

[graceful dawn]

these random ass agruments that go down in the most off topic channels are hilarious

[tacit hamlet]

Exactly. Nasty factories where they mass prepare that stuff

[unkempt condor]

Fda sanitary

[brittle pumice]

tbh i dont really care im not getting sick from it and it tastes good

[tacit hamlet]

I eat it too. Im just comparing wild stuff to store bought stuff

[brittle pumice]

in the wild probably

[tacit hamlet]

Eating natural foods

[graceful dawn]

na its something like you can have up to 50 rodent hairs in like container of smth. something along the lines of that

[unkempt condor]

In the wild they are way more likely to have diseases than store

[unkempt condor]

Fda sanitary

[fading gorge]

Roos and pigs over here are riddled with worms often and wild pigs have TB need to check for

[stuck tapir]

Can I add more if I want?

[brittle pumice]

yup luckily you can usually cook the food which makes the meat safe for consumption

[graceful dawn]

[stuck tapir]

I'll have to try

[unkempt condor]

Still. I wouldn't eat meat from a sick deer

[brittle pumice]

ye same but i also wouldnt really shoot a sick deer if im hunting for meat

[low citrus]

And I thought #🦌︴great-ones was the channel that usually veered off topic lol

[unkempt condor]

Everyone In that channel are nerds

This is where the cool kids hangout

[brittle pumice]

well it started with roo stew

[low citrus]

😔

[carmine mason]

Anyone know that one Trend

[graceful dawn]

fabled ones is where all the cc hang out wym

[sudden ginkgo]

[mighty dove]

That’s why kangaroos are so aggressive because they know they taste so good

[low citrus]

Yeah the statement stands true

Theyre all nerds

[unkempt condor]

Like I said

Nerds

[graceful dawn]

most

[brittle pumice]

why am i not there then

[unkempt condor]

Go there then

[sudden ginkgo]

looks at mel

[carmine mason]

Why else do you think every predator eats them

[brittle pumice]

👍

[graceful dawn]

somebody say something stupid

[low citrus]

something stupid

[graceful dawn]

[mighty dove]

Because predators eat just about anything they get their jaws on

[brittle pumice]

would you rather get attacked by a roo or a australian

[unkempt condor]

Civilians should not be able to own a fully semi-automatic assault rifle 15 with a 30 round clip

[graceful dawn]

roo

[unkempt condor]

that hurt me to say

[graceful dawn]

[low citrus]

MAGAZINE 👹👹👹

[sudden ginkgo]

i believe he said "clip" intentionally and ironically

[low citrus]

I’m still angry

[carmine mason]

Got a cool animal concept for the new reserve it’s not dingos and it’s not emus

[unkempt condor]

The only problem you had was with me saying clip?

[tacit hamlet]

Spiders!

[carmine mason]

A wallaby that’s literally it

We need ambient animals to make the world feel more alive like in Layton lakes with the birds

[stiff leaf]

i love my A(ssault) R(ifle) 15

[brittle pumice]

class 9 huntsman spiders with a flame thrower dlc

[sudden ginkgo]

i know of a game where you kill spiders with ridiculous things lol

[brittle pumice]

tbh i never liked the ambient birds on there

[unkempt condor]

KILL IT WITH FIRE

[sudden ginkgo]

yes

haha

[carmine mason]

Class 9 eastern brown snake

[sudden ginkgo]

its so much fun once you get the really destructive weapons

Being excited about the map last night I decided to watch some stuff about grey kangaroos

Came across an Attenborough clip of males fighting

[unkempt condor]

@stiff leaf update your pinned message in #🦌︴help-and-tips

[glacial flame]

And he comes out with a statement that made me reconsider my life

“This male stands 8ft tall”

[fading gorge]

We have a family of greys at my work that live in a patch of bush at back

[glacial flame]

8ft tall grey kangaroo lad?!

[brittle pumice]

[glacial flame]

That’s much, much bigger than I anticipated them being

I had to rewind it

[sudden ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/kangaroos-fun-kick-gif-13838990

[glacial flame]

Like hold up my dude

[fading gorge]

They usually arent that big but males get big

[brittle pumice]

they arent that heavy but they are rly tall

[glacial flame]

I’ve never seen a kangaroo, red or grey, irl. I massively misunderstood their apparently huge size

Big males

[brittle pumice]

i have only seen them in zoos but they are usually hunched over feeding or laying down

[fading gorge]

These are our work roos

[glacial flame]

That’s awesome

[limber cliff]

I was gone for 200 messages and we had a conniption over meat v no meat

what even

[glacial flame]

Meat?

As in, eating meat?

[sudden ginkgo]

was a very meaty convo

[fading gorge]

I think the staff on the dock feed them on lunchbreaks as they dont worry about you walking mear

[glacial flame]

Roos are another level

[limber cliff]

I love them

giant rabbits

[glacial flame]

Like I’ve seen their skulls and still didn’t think they could get that huge

Just that stat made me realise I would not be ok if a kangaroo decided to go after me lmao

[fading gorge]

I dont like em bouncing alongside me on the motorbike early hours pf morn or in arvos lol. Majestic but unpredictable

[glacial flame]

I bet!!

[fading gorge]

There is about 15 roos live at the military range near here they arent phased by the noise or cars. They just sit on the side of the road in the grass chilling. If they wander onto the range live fire is cancelled till they move on.

[glacial flame]

Damn that’s pretty crazy

[limber cliff]

I'm going to go yeet the dog into the brook

back ina bit

[sudden ginkgo]

dayum

[fading gorge]

Same at my old rifle club its part of a roo and koala reserve so they have right of way and all shooting ceases toll they move lol

[graceful dawn]

i so excited to brutally mass murder kangaroos🙂

[glacial flame]

I hope they’ve got some cool rares

[graceful dawn]

yea

[glacial flame]

Same with the banteng and crocs

[carmine mason]

Where do I post any new concepts for cotw ?

a albino roo would be awesome but im just hoping for some cool multimounts

[graceful dawn]

2 roos fighting?

[fading gorge]

Scrub bulls, bush turkeys and wild chickens are dangerous up North lol.

[glacial flame]

I’m betting one of the mounts is a kangaroo one

And maybe a croc one?

[brittle pumice]

has to be

[brittle pumice]

i want one with a croc killing smth

[fading gorge]

Roos at the outpost. Just when you think inside is safe https://youtube.com/shorts/RpXxWQeho3M?feature=share

[brittle pumice]

no dingos on the Australian map feels like a crime

[carmine mason]

Trust me they’re going to be added
