That left one is almost exactly them
they are a bit too thick
And
Man shut yo-
So i guess that makes the species horrible and unhuntable
No,just saying they need to be tweaked
Thays not what you said
looks fine tbh
It's also in development so things could change
Prob not
If theyre showcasing it, it means its complete
Its the reason why jaxy didnt show any animals last stream
Am I trippin or that pic is moving
Its a gif
That's a fair point, I think they look identical to the pic you posted
Oh lol, it downloaded as a pic
It's a gif my friend
They look thick, but they look like that IRL as well
Y'all think we're getting the trailer tomorrow?
Bobby say one nice thing about cotw to restore the peace
Probably Tuesday is my guess
Told you guys we get the release date this week W
It's possible but I'd say Tuesday
I think so too
Reminds me of the axis deer rack,I love it
I think all the new animals look phenomenal so far
What you gonna hear while hunting
Ooo mine’s in 3 lol
When do YouTubers get early access?
Probably getting it over next few days if not already. Going by Scarecrows vid tomorrow
Typically the weekend before release
So 17th 18th 19th
Ok
What do the devs mean by by "Untamed Species"?
Species not released yet i assume
Cause if you cant obtain them or aren’t released you cant “ tame them”
Is taming or something similar going to be a new feature to the game?
Definitely not
If that were the case boutta have hunting rabbits
Or upgrade from dogs to wolves
Lol
I don’t know what you guys are referring to but there are no unannounced animals coming to the game
If you didn't notice it's the name of it mini series they are doing showcasing all of the new species
Like never seen before species
That would be what the words new species mean
Dude every species that was announced is the species list,we aren’t getting anymore,maybe a water buffalo backfill but that’s it
im confused i thought if i didnt select the IRL hunting role option there wouldnt be photos?
You know what that means
hello
wood duck 🗿
Ideally, but it’s a big server and people forget sometimes, especially when debating. IMO should’ve been pictures of them alive to be safe
When is your showcase
erm none from me sadly..but id love to do it.
im sure more will happen in the future
Wink wink nudge nudge NDA hey
Leave Ron alone 😤
hehe its fine
Hi
people wanna see content that what we do
I like to pick on Ron lol
oh ok
what species are people most hyped for ?
Good old Aussie banter is all it is.
trust me if you knew where i come from and how it is words dont hurt
🤣
i love a good crack banter
Im Aussie its in our blood lol
Time for a cricket sledging hey
Believe me I’m the same way
Are they allowed to sledge still of that considered offensive in cricket these days lol
id call it barracking
in english
yeah its a standard thing in most sports
i used to play semi pro pool that was full of it
Some of the gold oldies they got away with I reckon probably be banned nowdays.
people still do it in all sports
on to my top 3 species..banteng , roos and salt water crocs
Haha nice. I grew up around country rodeo and woking security pubs clubs. Also in the biker scene so water off a ducks back and love to give a stir
whats yours ?
our mascot is a robber
Im keen to play bullrush with a banteng
I play tag with water buff and a bow on PF so home ground banteng gonna be fun
Angry logs (crocs) I am hoping will pull you in but dou t that animations been implemented
Hey wheres Dave..... splash Dave...
They're already announced all of the new species so going to have to wait till next time for that
Heh, trying to hunt a Bentang, that then goes aggressive, only to be smacked by a roo, while running from a croc...
I tried chasing a herd of water buffalo at my friend as we circled an area haha. He wasnt happy
I've enjoyed my testing time but it's dangerous out there! 🤣
1st play I gotta fire up the bentang and run
My uncle used to breed bulls and broncs for shows we used to have a fun game when they were in the pen we climbed over ran in tagged the bull on the rear and ran like hell to get over the rails.
I am just sad I can't play for about 2 weeks post release
Dang vacation and only being able to play on console
On a scale of bison to buffalo, how aggressive are the banteng?
@uneven bloom my guess is since banteng are wild cattle, they're going to be real aggressive, on a cotw scale, I'd guess buffalo
Is this roo level aggression
@fading gorge when you're hunting drink zones for the many deer species but a roo decides to channel its malice into you
Depends, they don't care if there is water to soften your fall 🤣
I'm not going to like the map as much if it ends up being another one where I'm constantly having to look around
@agile mortar It's going to be like the video of that guy fighting a kangaroo whenever we're hunting out on Australia
Invest in treestands
It's not that bad. Honestly, a quite hunt is easy
Like any aggressive animal in cotw it's not like they see you 200m away and go straight at you. But if it's a fight you want, you can find it hehe
Buffalo seem too
I just tend to get up close and personal often. That's the key to a fight lol
Buffalo can get set off all the way up to render range with the ATV.
If you give them reason yes
Yeah, they won't be on-sight, but they'll be dang fun to hunt
Water buffalo giggles in background
I may or may not take long bow shots at them.
I'm still more excited for crocs
which honestly is why I'm almost never on Vurhonga
The new behavior will make Mississippi more fun too 😉
I don't care for being chased by buffalo on the ATV
Kinda wish crocs could lunge at you from the water, but that's probably a lot of work
@agile mortar it might give me a reason to buy Mississippi then
454 staple carry got it
Give it a go in MP first with a friend. See what you think!
Mhm my freeze response is stronger
I've gotten some good looks at gators in mp, just got focused on other maps.
I hate stumbling on a herd of bison or buffalo in the dark resting. That is a freeze and clench moment.
It's fun Mississippi I like it
Me too
But I find fun on every reserve tbh
Just a little too thick for me, I think there's better maps for animals on Mississippi. Except gators of course
@agile mortar are you able to disclose if there would be any Mission animals on Emerald ?
I can't give any details.... yet
I'm just waiting for that rusa reveal tomorrow. At least we get something before the big stream
Kangaroo Jack
I'd love to see some sort of monster croc
I'm talking the size of a dang truck
How many Steve Iriwin impressions we gonna get from people streaming. Righto up here we got this big banteng Im gonna get right up there.
Just wish I had a boat to get the alligators tho because Thay take time to flot across this is all I recommend every time u kill one to go get a beer from the fridge and enjoy the view
it's not dead
Is that duck tape lol
it's ducttape yeah
Still I’d argue that’s skirting the line
Or crock tape
a croc with tape around its head isn't dead
Someone is going to get a 9-Legendary croc and be like, crikey, here we got ourself a monster crocodile!
im suprised that the rancher can even move with the size of his massive balls
"Matt Wright, host of ‘Outback Wrangler’ on Nat Geo Wild, posed with a giant crocodile he caught in Australia"
Well forgive me considering your track record
was that not the intention for cape buffalo? because it it's not the ones on my map really don't like me
Capes are on another level
Capercaillies are another that like to get moody with you from a distance. I hear the cluck cluck and either prepare for battle or watch it fly away
i dont recall posting any dead animals ?
I remember putting down my controller to go get a drink, i got back in like 2 minutes and I was on a sliver of health with a caper attacking me
Lol
@agile mortar theremust be atleast one tank be on emerald
Probably the roos lol
Banteng I'd bet
Imagine if you had died from that thing
Banteng, Crocs, or roos
Wouldn't be worse then dying from a cactus
I tried it once and got too impatient
i mean tanks as in the vehicle,there's a bunch of them lying around in the aussie bush
Lmao
Oh okay, maybe
Are you joking dawg?
had that happen, a herd of javelinas shoved me around then i hit one heading for a outpost, i was so mad
they're sedated,dont worry
Drop the act dude cmon
why are you so offended by dead animals
It still shouldn’t be in this channel take it to #🥩︴irl-hunting instead so the people that don’t wanna see this kind of stuff don’t have to
I don’t mind it but just be respectful of others
Me and 2 others totally didn't do the same thing to show our point
people who play a hunting game when they see dead animals: 😱😱😱
A video game is different
I get it and why you guys say not to put on dead animals, but this is still a game based on hunting, y'know, killing animals. Not sure why anyone who'd be offended by dead animals would be in cotw
Call of duty is a game based on killing people doesn’t mean I want to see that
There’s an IRL role for a reason
you can’t even see blood on the pictures
It’s not about blood
Keep IRL dead animals to the IRL hunting channel.
I mean it’s a game not an actual animal getting harmed it’s different some people just don’t like seeing real animals being harmed just be respectful of others wishes
there’s a difference between a trophy shot of an animal vs. footage of a war crime on a third world country
Or the chasis of the Kangroo sherman
If they remove landmarks…
that would be cool
Yes
Honors the Australian WW2 Veterans
(Tbh they should’ve put one of the panzer chasis in Hirschfelden)
I'm excited to see the landmarks
Yea same tbh
hoping for some indigenous history
or maybe a 109 wreck
Im making a outpost concept for the Victorian highlands map
we're literally getting a new map in 12 days and you're already making a concept for a new map
Are there going to be emu?
no
What an absolute shame
Something about them being very protected
We’re getting tons of great species though
Darn probably because the population drop after the emu war lol
That said.. what color roos are you guys hoping for??
If they could get a leucistic that’d be cool
Think there'll be melanistic
Albino kangaroo
can roo's naturally be mela?
I honestly don't know lol
(I know they arent the same, but) Lions cannot naturally be mela
@fading gorge can roos be mela?
LOOK AT THIS LADS LIL STOCKINGS omg.
banteng rares > roo rares
...I'm sorry, I'm googling banteng
and just
do they ALL have pale buttcheeks?
😭😂
I just want my Sambars
I looked it up and it says they can be, but there's like no pictures I could find
ooh
Glad they included an arrow
I wasnt sure if I could see the banteng with all the mud
what banteng ?
Look at himbs forehead bit, it#s like a bad toupee
What about the Magpie geese? I'm sure they'll have a mela and maybe a leucistic
I leave for 10min to drive home and yall talking bout cows butts
THEY GOT WHITE DOOTS ON'EM
(Cows are ultimately one of my favorite animals, all forms of them)
All animals with pigment can
Its just that some are rarer than others
Apparently not though, Mela lions do not exist
Have seen an albino wallaby in rl
Cause none has ever been recorded yet
But the gene that can mutate is there
It just needs to..mutate
Yea
I imagine they’d get cooked out of the gene pool if they did exist tho
@limber cliff cant find mela roo pics online, but did find a pie
stfu thats so cute
It’s a cool concept because Victorian highlands are overlooked by Australian deserts and the Australian rainforest
WALLABY
that’s adorable
Man why are you planning AUS 2.0 when they havent even put AUS1.0 into our hands yet?
Thing is
Melanism is an excess of pigment
The only requirement is having pigment
So the genes that cause melanin production can get mutated and cause melanism
What is saying there i think is the gene that causes melanism, aka the broken melanin gene, is not present in lions. It also says that it could evolve and happen.
Maybe im climbing mirrors, but it doesnt make sense otherwise
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Til there is a recorded image of one
to me they cannot exist
and thats just my take on it
I wont say they cant
just that they dont.
We both are no genetists
So our opinions are equal
Ill do some research in the future and dm you what i find if youre interested
Im not going to Africa to spray paint a lion for you. Im not that crazy
but gimme these lads
Hey, didn't Tyk want the map to come out the week of the 19th? bet she's happy lol
Expensive belt that one
Alb gator
My local zoo had a luecistic alligator. That thing was pretty
they're SO pretty
Yeah. The eyes are so cool
For fun
Huh. Well, make a post in the suggestions section for new maps or stuff.
Yep, here's a photo from the zoo
Lets try to keep it to the spirit of EC in here
I love him
I want luecistic saltwater crocs so bad
I went handlining this morning and they choose the few hours i was gone to announce something, typical
I don't know if they exist though
Yess.
Already did I’m adding on new stuff
You said the week of the 19th, you were right all along lol
I has one those
I had big feelings man
I once saw an albino roo many years ago, had to let him go ofc
These are the only photos we got today?
Unfortunately yes, it's such a tease too
Better than nothing

"New Reserve". Hmm, I thought Jaxy stressed again and again that it was a MAP, and not a reserve. Not that it personally matters to me. Just wondering.
He stressed that it's private land, like rancho or Parque, not sure of the story but it feels similar to them
"Reserve DLC" is the general name given to map DLC, as well as "Weapon Pack" is the general name for those with whom weapons..
This map will be on public land area
Is any animals getting new drink times
I think it's just pop resets but we don't have the patch notes yet
Bobcats I think
It makes 0 difference if the map is private or public. It’s not like woth where private land has better genetics. So I don’t really get why people stress over the terms
It’s realistic that it’s public land for Aussie but it will be just like hunting other maps
Basically, the way of hunting will be the same, only that the setting and infrastructure that we will see on the map will be different from those of a "reserve"
I mean, Reserve sounds better than Map, but it's really the same thing under any name. Reserve just sounds more proffessional
They are slightly different, "reserve" is a private land where the owner manages the animals freely, can control the genetics and reintroduce animals as long as they have proper permits..
A "Preserve" is also private or government owned land regulated by wildlife permits where animals may not be reintroduced, animals roam freely, and you can only control their population hunting or displacing them but not modify genetics or add animals without special permits or legal projects.
I just meant in the context of a game
and "Public lands" are free access areas of land regulated by Federal conservation and wildlife laws where anyone can hunt as long as they have the necessary licenses to do so, within these areas the hunting seasons govern and only killing of animals is allowed within that season
Now that I see these differences well, it seems logical that there are no ducks in Mississippi Acres xD
The map is supposed to be set in the rainy and flood season (mid-March to early October) and the Duck season runs from mid-November to January.
Only the Teal season is in September xD
So thats why they backfilled it with the green winged teal
Holy shit,That makes so much sense also, Cotton Matures in September
Really all the things fit together, don't seem to be coincidences, I know the design of the maps is very detailed but if it true, this is on another level xD
who trynna make bank hml COME MONEY READY.
I'm kinda wondering something, a lot of hunting operations in Australia select for black hogs since that's what most hunters want to see, so i'm wondering if black hogs will be more common on EC than other maps
If willow ptarmigan are ever added to Yukon the same case could be made,White would be more common than bicolor and possibly even molting
That'd be more natural, the feral pigs in Aus are just farmed for the black hides
They could rename them to winter willow ptarmigan and have whites be common, red be on the same level as albino quail and have molting/bicolour be uncommons or even rares
I didn’t even think about that
I'd really like that if i'm honest, also, ptarmigan in alaska are legal to hunt with .22lr and aren't required to be in flight. Which, as a crap wing shooter, i'd much appreciate
I want a .22 air rifle in game
I want a .22 lever action in this game
Can’t wait for this update,my gator populations are absolute garbage,I’ve probably went around 5 times on a killing spree
Yall ready for that premier??? 👀
Yessir!
Is the sky blue
Yesir they pick the best person do this just say.
I think that's too much he can say
found a hacked server
Are you doing all of them,if so that would be so awesome
man
Dude I can’t wait any longer for the DLC but I’m curious how the kangaroos will act
No it's black because it's night out
I'm hyped for the new map
Indeed just gotta continue the grind
I've just been making cash and buying all the guns
Knocking off every male animal I see lol
Nice
So far I found a few my Layton map is full of blacktail
I have trouble focusing on one animal for an extended time
Yea I started setting up tents bruh the need to cut tents prices in half
They are pretty pricey but it is a portable outpost
Yea true but at least make it more like 15-20 in Quantity
I feel like I run out so fast
Like setting up for great ones is a little pricy
Any one know what the new guns range for animals is
To be determined
Ah ok
Wait are emus coming or no
No
Jaxy himself confirmed all the animals on stream: #🦡︴cotw-scotland message
guess what guys
i called it
again
release date
perfect call
i said exactly 1 week after next stream
and it happened
im 5 for 5 now
It would be impossible to get a perfect harvest ahah
How many more hours?
Till the preview? 4 hours
Says three hours for me
like message says 3 hours until premier, at 11 but it's 7 for me
Just under 250 hours til June 20th
Waaaa
😡you listen here tyk you should kidnap jaxy and make them release it now 😡
Jax lives on the other side of the planet from me
Take a plane then :3
and I'm not very tall, nor super strong
😡 you'll figure it out
you gonna spend the 2500 on a short purchase round trip ticket?
Cos I sure tf cant
Uh huh.. and should I send my paypal? 😂
my guy. 😂
Fine ill get jaxy myself 😡
😂
We should get vivi them
Goober
😂 Might be quicker, certainly
just so i'm clear on it, the cosmetics pack comes out on the 20th too right?
Jaxy did say the outfit was available without the map
Oh okay
I wonder then
Uhh.. Was it the ghillie suits, that we got "for free" with the apex accounts?
yeah, to both
i think its just with the update
(And i only say that cos I dont recall seeing the DLC already on shop for wishlisting)
I wish they were more clear with this stuff 😕
I AM FREAKING MISERABLE THAT I KNOW WHERE THIS IS FROM
He was in BSG wasn't he?
I only know his as Rumplestiltskin or whatever the H his name was on the stupid fairytale irl drama my gf forced me to watch with her
(Robert Carlyle)
Just gonna pretend I know what your talking about
yo're better off not knowing
HAH
Good morning, children
So far, barring a few of y'all - you're all chirrun to me
Yup, that's pretty much us 😂
But to avoid further confusion:
- Layton Lake Cosmetic Pack DLC will release on June 20th together with Emerald Coast
- There is also an Australian outfit added to the free Outback Update (also launches on June 20th). It will be available to all players who downloaded the update and will only cost the in-game currency
Are the cosmetic packs worth getting?
If you like cosmetics, sure
Just as I am about to go do some work dev diary drops lol. I guess I can stay and read a few mins

Figured would be private land concept due to our laws here
Though Gov do contract shooters for Nat parks and regions time to time for conservation culls.
Do those look like fallow to you guys?
Cuz if so, look at what appear to be the males
Just popping in to say that I'm very happy they've brought back side missions!
I think it is fallow deer, female red deer don’t have such a white underside
Aren't they getting a reskin though
I haven't played in a bit and was kind of on the fence about buying the new map, but I'm getting pretty excited about it
yeah this is a big release maybe the biggest since cotw came out so super hyped
Could be our Rusas too
those are fallows
so what do you wanna see first ?
Sophia looks like my science teacher
I dont see how they can rationalise either the grey or red kangaroo as a species to be targetted based on the rationale of that document
ooh
salties and buff, sure... but not the roo's
Desperately need to hear one of them say Aur Naur
say wut?
(Oh no)
but to the untrained ear, it comes off as aur naur
just a real thick accent
Aren't macropods just culled for farm damage?
just said it and actually listened... lol
in the area they are putting it, they are not crop farms but cattle stations...roos dont do any harm there
Doesn't make sense then
😂
I was gonna say, when I first met my oldest Aussie friends, it took me a week to realize they were saying "Oh No."
nope
Now I'm like 'Ah yeah, no'
thats very aussie.. "yeah, nah"
😂
my bud Dyl would 'awright' us in text
Magpies also kinda confuse me personally, from what I've read they're only huntable in Northern Territory
magpies.... nah..have at em...shit of a bird
they are protected but everyone hates them
😂 Poor dinobird
Poor goose looking thing
Anseranas semipalmata
yeah
yes

They're native
Northern Australia and Southern Guinea
And from what I see they are also only huntable there
So IDK why they would be in a Queensland inspired map
they arent very common...they might only be huntable in NT cos thats the only place they actually are
central Qld... not a huge stretch
they probably crossed the cape and tiwi islands
They range from North Western Western territory all up to NSW
The very basic map Hirschfelden already has a massively unrealistic european bison hunting thing going. After that, I wonder why anyone even bothers with anything
But most common in NT
the rainforrest is so thick up there I dunno if you would even find em
I only saw em along the gulf coast. they arent that numerous, I guess
oh..can we shoot cockatoos? noisy asses
The thing is, they keep telling everyone they care about local laws but include salties in Australia which are not really easy to get around to hunt LEGALLY but include Wisents in Germany
salties..are the easiest thing on earth to hunt
At this point it'd just be easier and probably better to tell everyone that they add what they want to add
Legally?
Is there going to be a stream today??
and professionalk shooters have no problem getting a permit
plus...fishing guides can legally shoot a croc
Yes
Funny that
At 11:00
They are the most aggressive species of crocodilian after all, at least from a few studies
so every fishing guide in the top end is packing a heavy hitter handgun
Alligators in contrast are quite chill
gators are nothing like a salty..salty is incredibly aggresive
Yeah, I live near one of the two (!) reserves where wisents actually live in germany 😂
best way to lure a salty...is tie a water bottle on some fishing line and cast it into the water..and jiggle it
will have salties coming at it left and right
Are you talking about Scarecrows first look? Or an official?
I really hope that the changes made for crocodilian behaviour aren't shared between salties and gators in Mississippi
It would make hardly any sense
we used to taunt HUGE salties like that on Melville island
Aren't there even that many in Germany?
IK most are in Poland
Some in Romania
I do like a lot of the research points made in that document. I just think it falls short on the inclusion of roos as a target animal
What crow is doing today is that stream or am im wrong?
Can anyone draw good on this server ?
I don't understand the exclusion of the
other ferals
razor back pigs...foxes....
Rabbits
2015 they counted about 58 wisents in the 2000 ha reserve
water buffalo
I believe its prerecorded? I could be wrong, but I think pre recorded and we are watching like a movie premiere
Water Buffalo
Go look in #🦝︴off-topic or #🖼️︴fan-art - this is not the appropriate channel for that
not NZ pigs..RAZORBACK pigs...much larger, much more aggresive
razorbacks over 700kg are not that rare
razorbacks are also just feral pigs with a fancy name.
Alright
thats a helluva lot of pig
Ok I might be wrong sorry if I am
Doubt it
No no, no sorries!
the pigs in australia are massively different to the ferals in NZ
tHey use the same model for every feral pig type
I saw a pig just south of birdsville that was as tall as the hood on our landcruiser
thats a BIG animal
I really don't want to see that model ever again
It looks like asian wild water buffalo
meanwhile the ones that are actually hunted are all domestic water buffaloes of different breeds that have adapted to live in the wild
water buff in australia were hunted almost to extinction.....but they realised the animals were actually performing an invalualbe service
they trample and eat the weeds in the rivers
after hunting them almost genocidally, the rivers started to clog and become unnavigable (spl)
so all the hunting permits were rescinded to let the population come back..and now they are 'managed"
Another thing I really don't understand is the lack of the actual waterfowl
excluding magpies
pacific black ducks and so on
Considering that from the map they have a wetland section it wouldn't have been stupid to include some of them
🐷
more like the african boar / warthog than the NZ pig
that one was.... 130kg...so almost 300lb.
dunno where I got the 700 from... lol
these pigs...in the dry season, kill and eat sheep and cattle for hydration
Reasonable weight
more or less as heavy as european boars
Carpathian ones get up to 200
they must be introduced european boars..like european rabbits
It's also possible that they're just
hybrids
pig and boars
Eh
There's situation in which feral pigs have just
reverted back to boar lineage in 2/3 generations
Crow got early access
throwback genetics isnt uncommon tho
the human eye, for example, is actually a reversion (supposedly) to retain the color spectrum we see in now. no idea how they worked that out though
this will be the first DLC I wont buy though. They cant give a good reason to have the national animal as a viable target species, means they wont get my money for it. I have always been against an australian map
I mean, I think the main problem is that the EW has kinda put itself in a position where it has to give explanations for animals it adds to maps and can't just say "since it's hunted there we're adding it"
Due to all the
other stuff that happened in previous reserve streams
E.g. Reindeer not being added to Revontuli because only "a few licenses" are given away each year
I can't say anything about Iberian wolves because their hunting was made illegal after Cuatro was released but at least it's stupid argument because of the wisent being there
Besides, unrelated, are Eastern grey kangaroos even aggressive?
I don't really understand why they're being made out to be this man killing menace ingame then
the number of people killed by roos in the past 40,000 years or so would be about...oh...zero probably...except hitting one with a car followed by a large tree...
Because it’s fun,just like trying to kill a Buffalo with birdshot
It appears that the last death by kangaroo was
in 1936
from a guy trying to protect his dogs
lots of 2) in that one then
all a roo is gonna do is try to make you leave it alone
they give you plenty of warning
My character is a 90 year old man so I expect him to get smoked by a roo
Doubt it
Mongolia
there's too much controversy over it
Top tier hunting destination what do you mean
Doesn't mean it's not controversial
logically another african map
Cameroon is a top hunting destination, the way the laws are enforced is still practically controversial
New images.
Logically
but yk
it's EW
Logically New England shouldn't have been a thing
I didn’t know I could want to play this reserve more than I did before I saw these pictures
It's looking so good
Its thanks to new england that australia is amazing
They were able to put more resources into it
They could have just
yk
Bro
not done New England?
You think they don't already have enough income lol?
You never know
australia isnt gonna be amazing.. lol
Also what Sarah said
I do yes
Cause they only have the hunter and the angler generating money
And theyre both niche games
...
Pretty sure CotW hit like
1 mil players last year
if not more
Let me check if there's something for sales actually
Also making more money in general is a must for a studio
Especially since its part of the avalanche studios group, which probably set an income target they need to achieve and sustain
I correct you
theHunter and theHunter
Who’s Sarah ?
I do not know a single person who actually likes theAngler
some aussie
.
only maingame
Like any business, they are a profit-driven entity. Profit to a business is like air to a human. Without it, you die.
We need mini games
Yessir
absolutely @sudden ginkgo
Yep
That I agree
This is simply the business model they have chosen to sustain a revenue stream
Then why are you arguing new englad shouldnt have happened
New England was terrible as a map in general
beautiful tho
As we said
It was made as a filler to make emerald coast be amazing
Displacing resources
Emerald Coast isn't really amazing is it though?
Bro 💀
at least from the stuff that has been shown in the last days
theres nothing amazing about emerald coast.
Come on, look at the Rusa model
It looks great
It's fine if you're not excited about it, but you can't really say it's bad or good until it's released
the concept makes it bad.
Looks good to me
Concept?
You don't like the concept, there's a difference
How on earth can you say the maps no amazing when we no even given it a go or even seen much of it
That's kinda
like
it's an ingame picture
Says premiere will begin shortly for me
Don't seem fair to be judging a map before it even out yet
Depends
Sarah just comes of hibernation to criticize the game. Ignore them
I agree, and I also think it's perfectly valid for people to not be excited, just don't crap on people who are
Freedom of speech though. Nah?
yea, i don't have anything against people who are excited
It's just opinions
Which gives me the right to criticize back
Criticize their criticism against the game? Yea sure
as long as it stays yk
a relaxed discussion
I don't think so but it's your opinion
I’ll have to watch it later
Anyone else hype to hunt kangaroos lol
this realy just seems like a sambra
Is it just Rusa Crow is hunting?
sambar*
I am not criticising the game.... just the concept that the whole map is wrapped around. inclusion of australia is community driven, purely and simply....not because australia is a good hunting area compared to a million other places
I think it'll be interesting!
indeed it may be
sooo pretty
I think the thing EW have to battle is the pure scale of australia and the area they are trying to wrap together
That's extremely fair, I know a whole lot of people really wanted an Australian map, but I never knew enough about it to really comment. I'm not surprised that EW responded to the community wants
Rusas have outwards pointing tines so yk
and the premieres done lol
Google it, its identical
Not all of them
me either @wintry frost . the cries for an australia map were loud and the squeeky wheel gets the oil
after reading the dev notes..I had a lot of misgivings quelled, but the whole roo thing I still find a little offensive, as an australian
That is extremely valid.
do you still ride your kangaroo to school
lol
im excited to see what the diamond racks look like
ScareCrow appears to mention farmlands but I honestly don't know if it's actual fields
Or cattle land
The max weight estimate will likely be 172-200kg (I think)
Since the lvl 3 and lvl 4 had the 145-172kg estimate
they are talking Australian Stations.... out there, west of the great divide, its arid cattle land
Then roos keep being nonsensical
and there are NO salties in the entire emerald area because theres no coastal river access
drive 500 miles east..yeah...
but not there
the rusa model reminds me so much of the sika model
then again..theres no coast around emerald.... so...they have to use a little "artistic licence"
its...a videogame
an arcade-ish videogame too
doesnt have to be 100% true to life
quit complaining nobody’s making you play the new map
They do have a tendency to condense a variety of habitats into a smaller map, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some ag farmland included, even though it's not 100% accurate
Indeed. Just a Sika with a different color pattern
I was half expecting the Daintree to be a backdrop for it or NT regions
yes..there has to be a lot of compression to get the species they are including.
cause there are red deer on the map
sambar do so I suppose the same applies for rusa considering they're in the same genus
but thats just how it has to be
For some reason I doubt it's of a red deer
hell
female moose CURRENTLY ingame
I doubt they're leaving space for another map in the future, so they'll want to hit enough variety for people to be happy
I would also be more inclined to see Reds than Greys
have red deer roars as warning soudnds
right @wintry frost
oh so much mimimi
but why would you
and yes...its more than a little arcadish.... so there has to be concession for compression
Because of the moose thing I just said
Also random question but why do you have a kingdom of Italy pfp?
Rusa deer are also a class 6 as it turns out
Class 6
Max level of 5
Diamond should be around 150 I think based on the score estimates we’ve seen in the video
Max weight estimate I believe will be 172-200kg
but thats not a proof
I said I'm doubtful, not that it's 100% certain
hold on..whats moose got to do with emerald coast?
Nothing
Compilation of some cool stuff we saw today!
I want to see the new red deer
It was just me being doubtful about that last roar being of a rusa ingame or of a red deer
I doubt it’s red deer
seeing their past in adding red deer roar randomly
Yes
Where is the confirmation
Are those red deer or fallow deer on this photo?
thanks
Check any of EW’s socials and #📢︴game-news 👍
So, just to reiterate
Release Date is June 20th
Oke nvm, apparently rusa do roar
I think reds
my bad
I think it’s fallows
What appear to be males further into the forest dont look anything like red stags do irl not do they resemble the current red deer models
Which if I’m not mistaken arent getting a complete remodel and are just getting fur updates
that does sound like a red deer roar at the end of that youtube eh, except the chuckle at the end
So it’s not as deep sounding as a red stag roar
But the one in the video sounded even higher pitched
well...I always wondered what the difference was between marsupials and mammals... now I know!
Marsupials are a group of mammals. Same way canids and felines are
But yeah, they’re pretty funky
marsupials are "non placental" mammals...
The way you worded your sentence suggested you were saying they weren’t mammals lol
meaning the young are born undeveloped (I knew that) because they never form a placenta and all development is in a pouch
what a wierd evolution
oh..yeah..I guess it did sound like that... lol
marsupials and "other mammals"... lol
how big of a buff?
hmm..heres the scale of what EW are having to deal with in regards to the sheer size of the area they are compressing. Texas would fit inside almost every australian state, and the zone they are trying to compress is about the size of texas. (queensland is vastly bigger than texas)
so gotta give them a lot of artistic licence to make it workable
queensland is about the size of alaska...so pretty significant
dammit..I know I am gonna buy this DLC. just cos
I always forget how big Australia is!
its the size of the lower 48, more or less
Australia’s my favourite city mate
lol
So if rusa is class 6, does that mean sambar could potentially be class 8?
RUSSIA DEER IN AUSTRALIA??!!?!
rusa*
Lol, I just noticed the croc in the photo
Bro hell nah
Hope they aren't only in the coast
ITS RUSSIA DEER
what is bro on
Who is going for Fallow Deer go in australia
Trying to put off going for a Fallow GO until I get my moose GO
Few days explore and sus zones then decide on TA or Aust for fallow
Moose GO sucks for me
Im not going for moose
Until I have black bear and fallow deer go
Black bears gonna be a while for u unless ur lucky
Imagine EW would have had added an actual interesting Australian species than just a more boring red deer..
they could have added Dingos, Emus and other cool animals, but no, we all needed a stupid deer....
We have saltwater crocodiles, magpie geese, banteng and kangaroos
I’d say they’re all pretty damn interesting
Can emus even be culled?
They probably considered adding those other species, but decided not due to reasons
I’m honestly just mind-blown that so many people are complaining over what could easily be the best map in the entire game. We’ve finally gotten Australia after years of asking for it yet people STILL find reasons to bitch about it
It’s actually incredible
Yeah, let’s just ignore that we got 8 new species, only 3 of which are deer (really cool ones at that), a new small game weapon, an entire new reserve to play on, a new great one, 3 confirmed remodels, 3 new truRACS and many more smaller patches, bug fixes and new shit
Yeah let’s ignore all that and call the map shit cuz we didn’t get some dumbass wild dog or whatever dingoes are
And a new cosmetic OuO
gunna be one of the biggest best updates yet
oh..did we forget a great one fallow deer too 🥳
No matter what you give them, someone will always complain, just look at the Loadouts, 10 min after the update was released they were already asking for more spaces
Oli mentioned the new GO
@low citrus
People were somehow bitching about loadouts themselves cuz “10 slots is soooo limiting”
I am so SICK and TIRED
I read that as more species ☠️
Same lol
Can i just ask, how do you guys have 10 loadouts? I have four and it covers everything i care to do
Have you tried Sleep™️
Lotta grinds lol
Set ups for random things
I could probably condense it down
I miss the ambient animals
They're hell on hirsch now with pheasant
I have 5 for hunting and 2 for Tools, Heavy Rifles, Silent (Bow + Air), Multipurpose Rifles, Waterfowl, Pistols, Structures and Lures, then I have plenty of the rest xD
I don't know why everyone is asking for a 1-3 rifle either, i don't think anyone would if lynx were class 2
Because on like Piccabeen Bay we had the rainbow loraket and the bugs
I have main, fallow grind, moose grind, bird setups, bird grind, then rest is random things or none at all
If there are no snakes and spiders on this map I will refund it
There wasn't on rancho there was rattlesnake sounds tho
Gotta dodge yt for three days before the map drops huh?
gonna hang a sign around my neck, "if you spoil Emerald coast for me I break your jaw"
Yea but I miss the ambient animals
They were in classic why not cotw
I wonder if if cotw will ever get a ps5 upgrade
Why are rusa class 6?
Because they're thicc boys
They really aren’t, hardly bigger than fallow IRL
Well after google I ain't got a damn clue
Oh they're 6? I suspect Sambar will be 8 then
sambar are comparable to elk
I honestly think they're be 6 to just a big 6
Sambar are difficult to place as they sit kinda between reds and wapiti in size. I would have put sambar in class 6 though.
Rusa a small 6 sambar big 6
excuse me?
You have been excused
That made 0 sense
How?
look how you typed it
Besides gemsbok for whatever reason everything around the is a class 6
I honestly think they will be a 6 as well just the biggest 6 in the game maybe
I understood what he meant, sambar are larger than red deer but hunting them is generally pretty similar. You don’t generally need a large moose calibre to hunt them. So they are a class 6 animal, but just so happen to be a bit larger than most class 6 animals.
Like what I do wrong?
ok, that's perfect
I mean for the weights given in game it makes sense it looks like the big rusa will be around 200kg which is on par for other class 6’s
Yeah be around wildebeest size is my guess
Rusa should be class 4 though.
I'm not arguing just making fun of his grammar

Tbf them being 4 or 6 doesn’t really matter too much given the weapons you’ll be using are the same
Yeah being 6 doesn't mess with anything really
It still allows 243 mosin and stuff but keeps from the Overkill of 300 and 338
But if you really want to argue on what class they should be they should be 5 for the weight
Mule deer are 6s aren't they? not sure why tho
them i understand, mule deer at 450lbs?
Fine but the .30-30 doesn't handle class six well and i was looking forward to lever gunning all the deer
See reindeer is the smallest class 6 rn
Use 45-70 then both needs a buff bad tho
Sadly, but i also want to .30-30 the roos and hog deer
I mean carrying both will cover every class except 1
You aren't wrong
Bantang and probably Crocs with the gov would be cool
Fox axis hog with 30-30 then both for any 4s 5s and 6s
ignore birds
don't judge me, birds aren't my thing'
i feel like Sambar would be class 7 tbh
but class 8 would work too
and good riddance
That's if they brake the bear-rier
BOOOOOOOOO
I’m surprised Rusa are class six
definitely summer, went to get my mail and there was a copperhead chilling on the mailbox footer
yeh, new hatband soon
