[true ice]

It's incredibly fascinating

[blazing turtle]

But it has to be belivable: Tiger Hunting in Nepal, sure, there was a proposal to allow tigers to be hunted. But India, that would take extremely good writing to justify

[grim meteor]

On top of the fact laws change all the time, as people where discussing Nepal was considering making tigers huntable recently and some animals in game aren’t legally huntable now

Oh well the thing is I don’t think the place will be in India so I didn’t rlly think about that LOL

Just kinda figured it’d be Nepal given a lot of the reasons people have said

[true ice]

Agreed, the game is already hyper realistic, I'd rather hunt things that are illegal to hunt irl since you can't in irl, it adds a sense of fantasy that isn't too far out of touch of reality

[stray basalt]

Not to mention India (as in the people) aren’t totally on board with the whole animals dying thing.

[open crag]

For tigers? Hardly, in the end it doesn’t bother me too much. I would try to ignore them and hunt other animals but CotW is kinda stupid in that for every say 100 muntjac on a map there will be 100 tigers which is incredibly unrealistic and kinda hard to ignore. Especially when they are chasing animals I myself am trying to hunt.

[blazing turtle]

I guess a Hunting game set in between the 1700s and early 1900s (No later then the 1960s) is in need ( #1130567081780326530 & #1187670413002690590 as examples of ideas that could work)

[true ice]

That actually sounds good quite fun, could bring in some extinct species for you to hunt and experience what they may have behaved like

[grim meteor]

I kinda just wish they’d tweak predator AI rather then not adding tigers due to this as it’s a general thing

[open crag]

I doubt 99% of us here will ever hunt a rabbit in Nepal let alone a tiger lol. The price of hunting there at all is already a fantasy to the large majority of us.

[stray basalt]

cough cough 50k+ blue sheep tags cough cough

[true ice]

Oh no I wasn't speaking to complete practicality, I get that, but in a hypothetical situation

[stray basalt]

Worth it tbh.

[open crag]

I understand, just thought the idea is kinda funny lol

[blazing turtle]

Sounds like a price of a Stone's Sheep hunt in British Columbia

[grim meteor]

• tbh I don’t rlly think too much about predator population, because I think COTW is good enough to where I can suspend my disbelief. In the end it’s still a game if u had like 10 tigers max it’d be weird in the opposite direction lol

[stray basalt]

Or Yukon Territory Dall rams If I remember correctly.

[blazing turtle]

Though if you want expensive sheep hunts, Mongolian Argali can easily exceed 100k

[grim meteor]

Tiger or jaguar (or crossing my fingers, both), I can only imagine how sick the mounts will look

[open crag]

I personally don’t really enjoy hunting predator species so they tend to just be an annoyance to me so I would actually rather see less of them. A lot of people love them though so I don’t mind too much.

[stray basalt]

I didn’t really like them that much until I strictly stalked them in feed/restzones.

[open crag]

I think I would enjoy leopards though. There one of the large cats I actually find interesting.

[grim meteor]

Even I as someone who likes them its still annoying when one starts screaming it’s head off signalling it’s hunting what I am lol

But it doesn’t happen too often, thankfully

[open crag]

I feel that takes the fun out of hunting predators though. I think the draw is that they can also hunt you, hence the long grass in Vurhonga.

[grim meteor]

It is a different kinda funny when you go down to the lake to look at something, thinking all the lions are in their place, and then u get KO’d by some late arriver lmao

Only happened once but I laughed a bit after I was throughly dead and having said “no no no” when she went to maul me

[stray basalt]

There’s plenty of tall grass outside of the lakes. The only time I’ve had preformance problems in this game is when I’m in the middle of the Dzonga and the tall grass starts rendering.

[open crag]

It’s pretty cool sneaking through them hoping there isn’t a lion on the other end. I never had performance issues though, lack of visibility and low frame rates make lions sound even more terrifying lol

[stray basalt]

I do hope we get some rock wall mounts with this reserve though

[stray basalt]

It’s probably because I play on Xbox Series S.

[grim meteor]

I want a million things for the lodges!! Really hope maybe after this map they focus on making them better

[bitter matrix]

New lodge👀

Nahhhh that’s too much wishing

[haughty aurora]

I just learned from a comment on that video that lion roars in movies are actually tiger roars interesting lions getting the bald eagle treatment

[stray basalt]

I just remembered! something EC has rear hides mounted on the walls! This would be really nice for say… Leopards…or Tigers… or Axis Deer.

[haughty aurora]

That’s a deer

Ohh

Not what you meant

[jovial spade]

I want a clay pigeon shooting range in the new map

And pelt and soft mounts

[stray basalt]

With the amount of possible birds on the map from like 5 different types of quail to peafowl, I’d hope we’d get some sort of practice range.

[lyric widget]

Yea

[stray basalt]

Remove the rail from the 12g O/U while they are at it.

[final wigeon]

Do you all remember when jaxy said on stream were trying something different what if their trying to do endangered species to make the game have so much potential?

[wind ridge]

"Endangered but can be hunted in real life"..
That was the new concept they had adopted..

[final wigeon]

Concepts change

[stray basalt]

On such short notice?

[final wigeon]

What do you mean by short notice?

[stray basalt]

We were only told they were open to doing elephants like four live streams ago.

And elephants are (somewhat) endangered, but legally hunted.

[final wigeon]

Oh ok I’m sorry my bad

[stray basalt]

All good

[hexed moth]

gross.

[smoky tapir]

What do we think the great one is gonna be?

[stray basalt]

I believe jaxy said it isn’t on Layton or the new map…

[final wigeon]

I think GO reindeer or lion or Cape buffalo I don’t know just throwing ideas out there

[hexed moth]

cottontail of course

[final wigeon]

What if they did a great one duck for a late April fools joke

[next mulch]

what did jaxy say about the g1?

[final wigeon]

Hey said it’s not on Layton or hirahfelden

[hexed moth]

maybe a turkey for thanksgiving

[final wigeon]

I wish cotw did seasonal events like classic

[stray basalt]

He didn’t say it wasn’t hirsh. He went back on the no base game map thing and said it wasn’t layton and the new map if I remember correctly.

[low citrus]

He said it’s not a base-game species

[visual remnant]

Id love a trukey great one

[hexed moth]

im really holding out for a jackalope

[orchid linden]

Make it a 30lb bird with nine beards and 2" spurs. Lol

[visual remnant]

I would make the tail feathers crazy and colorfiul, since G1s arent realistic. It would be really cool

[hexed moth]

or make it like this

[orchid linden]

There are lots of different color phases that are different from what's presently in the game but still realistic.

[hexed moth]

maybe a mutated tail with double the feathers

[lone forge]

What about a football

[hexed moth]

that's so much better

or extra legs

spider turkey

[jovial jolt]

The giant turkeys like in classic, size of a bloody Cape buffalo

[quasi holly]

what are we thinking for the new great one

cuz all we know is that it’s gotta be on the new map + not on base game

[low citrus]

Axis deer or feral goat is my guess

If it’s a species that isn’t on the new map since that’s still entirely within the realm of possibility I think it’ll be feral pig/wild hog

[stray basalt]

I’m going to say combination great one Feral Pig/Wild Boar (same species, to an extent).

[quasi holly]

feral goat would go absolutely insane

[midnight moon]

Axis deer or water buffalo

[quasi holly]

theyre base

[stray basalt]

The Aura.

[low citrus]

It won’t be wild boar

[quasi holly]

such a horrific shame that rhinos and elephants wont be in nepal

[languid wedge]

Water buff axis deer mule deer or curve ball and something new that's getting released with a go

[low citrus]

It’s not a base game species

[languid wedge]

Is my guess

[midnight moon]

Or blackbuck

[languid wedge]

That to

[low citrus]

He did say it’s something we wouldn’t expect so I’d cross mule deer off the list

[languid wedge]

[midnight moon]

It'd be funny if it was a bird

[low citrus]

If it’s a bird I hope it’s pheasant

Would give me reason to try again to find a leucistic

[languid wedge]

Base game

[low citrus]

Well I meant as more of a general hope for a bird GO

But if it’s non base game then capercaillie seems the most logical choice

[midnight moon]

It's most likely something on other maps already

[languid wedge]

Goldeneye and backfilled onto Yukon

Only right bird for the job

[midnight moon]

Why goldeneye bird boy?

[languid wedge]

Oh right bird that's not base game

IMAGINE IF THAT IS GRAY LAG IN THE TRAILER AND IT'S THE GREAT ONE

[midnight moon]

I would laugh

[languid wedge]

The world couldn't handle a helllag go

[split agate]

Well, they DID ask if we wanted the Muntjac as a GO back on that survey…… AND the muntjac was in the teaser. For all we know, it could have been the one roaring, and not a tiger or leopard. So maybe — just maybe — we’re getting a super-buff, hella aggressive muntjac that kills with their long tusks.

[stray basalt]

Elephant sized muntjac, .700 NE confirmed?!?!? 😂😂😂

[midnight moon]

Odd looking animal

[limpid dock]

PAHAHAHA I'D LOVE THAT XD

The roid-jac

[midnight moon]

Sundarpatan sounds similar to the Nepal hunting reserve Dhorpatan. Animals hunted there are primarily blue sheep and himalayan tahr but also muntjac and wild boar

And we know we're getting a tiger or leopard (apparently leopard is legal to hunt)

[twilit grail]

https://youtu.be/ZNuhIZYelmM?si=g5Zp6S9YE4hZpVJi

[gentle shale]

A 25000 credit tag to hunt a tiger/leopard in the new map yay or nay

Gives us a use for those credits

And to choose your prey

Want a specufic fur

Keep your tag

[languid wedge]

i could get 204 so that should be planty to get all the rares and dim if it changes each time i play

[limber cliff]

Inb4 one rare, no dime

[gentle shale]

I feel there should be a push to Ethical hunting and conservation population control . Ppl want elephants tigers etc sure but ut will cost ya to get ine so get one you really want

@languid wedge credit reset just like pop reset each patch lol

[left adder]

holy crap guys, i was watching the old trailers for cotw reserves, its so nostalgic and gives me so much hype, if you are an impatient person like me, watcht hem

[silk panther]

As I watch over and over again the teaser trailer for me that roar is leopard. I know" hunt or be hunted" leopard if provocate or în danger he could atack you. But i'm confused why EW or jaxy clearifed at the beginning of the hype if is a tiger or not. That silence gave us hope it îs. If it isn't i don't know how the reaction Will be.

[limber cliff]

Hopefully we get the whole trailer soon

My guess is Monday or Tuesday

And hopefully some clarity

[scarlet bluff]

i say we get GO reveal and species list tuesday

[limber cliff]

Man. I wonder what they're gonna give us

I don't even know what to wish for anymore haha

There's so many really cool animals in the overall region

[left adder]

Its 100% a tiger

[left adder]

Hopefully

[silk panther]

Next week species list, New gun, New features and fixes. Next week recap and G1 reveal and all furs.next week a tour în the New map along the species and then Next week the release

[left adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuyL4ARMObk&ab_channel=DinkoSmash
For those lacking clarity in the roar

[rose parcel]

Its both tiger and leopard

[jovial spade]

But i can't wait until tuesday

[left adder]

both?

[silk panther]

Yess but they can mixed the sound to sound better and scary like the cape buffalo în vurhonga.

[left adder]

hmmm thats true

[silk panther]

Will see... My bet is leopard if is tiger the game could go "boom"

[scarlet bluff]

i say GO reveal and species list next week because that’s what happened last time

[rose parcel]

Yeah why not its perfect chance to add both

[left adder]

fair, but i think it will be just tiger, i think they want to create more focus on tiger sinec its a more main species

[scarlet bluff]

i also think that’s it’s totally possibly we could get the map earlier than we think

[left adder]

Thats what im thinking, especially since its been a year

[scarlet bluff]

from most of the map teaser trailers the full release is usually 3-4 weeks out

some were even earlier

[silk panther]

În the years past they had done that

[scarlet bluff]

the only one later than that was rev and they learned from that mistake

i think a good release date to expect would be june 11th or 18th

[left adder]

I remember the goddamn rev wait, it was such a pain

[scarlet bluff]

thankfully i didn’t have to wait for rev

i started playing again when i found out they had released rev

it’s what got me back into the game and playing it as much as i do now

[left adder]

I havent played cotw properly since december

but this map might bring me back

[teal ruin]

If we get tigers I hope there'll only like 3-10 or so on the map, makes em extra elusive

[left adder]

maybe not 10, i would say like 25-30 cos the map will be huge

[teal ruin]

oh yeah thats neat too

just make it so you dont constantly run into them accidentally

[lone forge]

Let's say a fifth of the map is jungle which has 4 lakes and a part of a river. the tigers only live in the jungle then 4 tigers with one lake each and 2-3 at the river would be nice

[left adder]

yeah not like the lions

i would like them to be extra aggressive

if there arent that many it would be cool if they stalk you when you alert them or smth

[teal ruin]

ooh that sounds cool

[lone forge]

Your opinion at what time of day and how long should they drink

[teal ruin]

maybe around 21 to 24? so they cant scare off the other animals when im trying to hunt them

[languid hill]

helo

hello

[left adder]

night time i think

[languid hill]

dont tigers usually hunt at day time

[lone forge]

I'll go first as tigers sleep 18 hours at least and are active in at night I would think 0-3 with the drink time and 21-24 with the feed time and 3-21 rest time

[languid hill]

i mean eat

[lone forge]

Nope

[languid hill]

hmm

then were those lions

no nvm

[left adder]

we need a good story tho'

[lone forge]

6 hours a day of active time would be cool It would be also nice if other animals would only become scared at 40m or so when they rest because of they're camo

[opaque shard]

I think it wouls be more interesting seeing tigers, together with lions, just having sleep and feed zones so the hunting would be more fun and challenge

Otherwise just hunting them on drinks zones gets kinda meh like it takes away their dangerous majesty

[lone forge]

Trueeee

[opaque shard]

Was it confirmed to be the himalyas/nepal since eveyone is talking bout it?

[lone forge]

Yes

[left adder]

what if it has hog deer go

[lone forge]

Because of this little flower which is only found in the Himalayas and is the state flower of nepal

[left adder]

damn nice catch

[lone forge]

Wouldn't be as majestic as a great one axis or wolf but I would really like seeing them on the new map

[opaque shard]

Damn nice👌

[lone forge]

Credits go to @minor shadow For this find : )

[left adder]

axis would be sweet, i would love bighorn tho

[opaque shard]

I always thought that that image looked like the far cry 4 version of nepal with the mountains especially

[limber cliff]

I will say it's community confirmed, I don't think EW has said more than the name have they? (Brain struggling to recall)

[left adder]

no they havent

[opaque shard]

Oh well with the flower clue I think its safe to say

[limber cliff]

That said, context clues really be pushing us there

[limber cliff]

Tbh while I agree personally - I find EW to be tricksy hobbitses

[lone forge]

I'm very sure it's either Nepal or the Himalayas region as a whole

[limber cliff]

And expect nothing and everything with the amount of twists

[opaque shard]

Imagine they give us asian elephants as a curve ball

[limber cliff]

Lord

But where we gonna put them as trophies hahaha

[opaque shard]

Omg that one is a valid point 😭

[lone forge]

Indian rhino coming to Cotw then?

Indian rhino
Gaur
Asian elephant
Together they make the new class 10

[left adder]

Rhino would be so bloody cool

[opaque shard]

I think rhinos ans elephants would come at the very last map, as COTWs magnum oppus

[lone forge]

I think they would even fit on the very large platforms in the lodge and on the very large head thingies

[opaque shard]

Nah they would take half measures like that

[lone forge]

Idk to be honest but I wouldn't say no but I'd rather have bunch of birds

They shouldnt have drink times tho and be very rare

[opaque shard]

Omg it would be so cool if you could only hunt them at like 50 meters

To like peneterate the skin or such a mechanic

Such a thrill

[lone forge]

Yeah with a 700. Nitro

[opaque shard]

Hell yeah

[lone forge]

That's what https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1195097534239088720 is all about

Bit I would love them on the Nepal map

Elephant would be hard but I think of they add another powerhouse they could be class 9

[opaque shard]

I think the gaur could very much be possible but the yak is what im looking for the most

[languid hill]

yes

[lone forge]

I would see gaur as likely yak maybe but they where discovered only 10 years ago and are super endagered

[languid hill]

hold on what would happen if you shot the rhino in the stomach

isnt intestes a vital

i cant spell it

[opaque shard]

Hmm yeah but now everything is possible with EWs change of heart

[lone forge]

Killshot, they're skin is pretty thin

[languid hill]

rhinos are way too easy

but fast

and strong

[lone forge]

True and I love that

They would be rare and hard too track where they live

[languid hill]

yes

easy to kill tho

very easy

how would a rhino lure work

[lone forge]

They are found in the same biomes we already saw

[lone forge]

I don't think they would have one

[left adder]

I want yak so bad

what about chiru do they live in nepal

[languid hill]

eh

[left adder]

i mainly want some gaots and sheep

[languid hill]

hippo in COTW?

[lone forge]

Put like 10 rhinos in the jungle where it's hard to see and the problem is good for itslef

[languid hill]

good idea

what if we put hippos in a swamp

or under the water

[lone forge]

Nepal grand slam?

[lone forge]

They live in Africa and Columbia

[languid hill]

cute

[languid hill]

oh

[left adder]

That wuld be so cool

[opaque shard]

The hippos would function like alligators/crocodiles

[lone forge]

But they are Greta for a future Africa map

[languid hill]

dam I need to learn more about animals

[lone forge]

Yup

[languid hill]

all I know is cockroaches and bugs

[left adder]

I think in an africa map hippo and giraffe instead of elephant and rhino would be more plausible

[languid hill]

giraffe?

they aren't even

[lone forge]

Only that they couldn't swim because hippos can't swim and would rather walk on the bottom

[lone forge]

Africa too

[languid hill]

they could put lions in there aswell?

[lone forge]

I think hyenas are found in Nepal tho

[lone forge]

No they are only in Africa and one lil national park in south west India

[left adder]

in nepal? I dont think they would asiatic lions are too endangered

[lone forge]

Far from the Himalayas

[languid hill]

hmm

[opaque shard]

Why would they add lions to a map with tigers

[languid hill]

tigers

oh right tigers

[limber cliff]

Side thought tho... if elephants, new lodge to fit them??????

[lone forge]

Here's all the carnivores

[languid hill]

elephants would be too big for africa thooo

I mean the map itself

its not even that big

[opaque shard]

Two birds with one stone

We are need of new lodges and mounts🙏🏾

[limber cliff]

It's as big as every other map tho

[languid hill]

maybe at this point add a zoo instead of a lodge

[languid hill]

yea

how big would be a elephant tho

ingame

they're like

one sec lemme check

[limber cliff]

Haha

[left adder]

mugger croc would be amazing

[languid hill]

4 meters

they big big

[lone forge]

I know endangered and all but gavial

[left adder]

I want the story to have a special tiger at the end that you have to track down ande kill

[left adder]

these would be so unique it would be amazing

[opaque shard]

Thing is you wouldnt just want an elephant, you would want a cool mount so they would have to change the size anyways

[languid hill]

I wont be surprised if elephants gonna flee upon seeing you ingame

💀

[lone forge]

Asian elephants would be a hustle but 🦏 quit easy

[left adder]

what if they make rrhinos, they could somewhat use rambolos model i guess?

[languid hill]

the bigger the animal the faster it sees you and runs away

how does this work

[left adder]

I want asia to actually be a scary place to hunt it

[lone forge]

Marbled polecat?

[languid hill]

elephants are very chonky tho

they're hard to pierce thru

[left adder]

Hell yeah this would be amazing!

[languid hill]

very cool

they are very small tho

[left adder]

yeah the only thing is they might be too small to implement especially with rig and everyhting, unless they bring back and use weasel model

[languid hill]

yea

I can't even hunt a turkey ingame 😭

[opaque shard]

Rambolos model is obselete I mean our bison are bigger than it which isnt representative of the actual scale

[lone forge]

They usually get headshots but they have thin skin (they bleed at the bite of a mosquito) so I think if they added a big caliber like 700. Nitro it would be no problem

[left adder]

thats trrue, idk how they would even implement or use it

[languid hill]

e

[left adder]

honestly they should collab with planet zoo or somehting, making maps and stuff would be so cool

/easy

[lone forge]

Haha

[left adder]

they could easily make a crazy primal sequel if they collab with jwe

[left adder]

i saw these

[opaque shard]

Anyone know if sundarpatan actually means something?

[left adder]

i just searched it up wth, anyway it means beautiful fall

im assuming in regards to a waterfall

[opaque shard]

Thanks 🙏🏾

Wait a waterfall?

Actuall running water in COTW??

[left adder]

it means "beautiful fall" in hindi, maybe not a waterfall, maybe mountains, hence falling

[limber cliff]

Lort

[left adder]

i ythink waterfall is most likely though

[opaque shard]

I now understand why they took their time with this map

[left adder]

well we'll se when its revealed

[lone forge]

My dream would be 5-6 biomes with different species in every one of those biomes

Especially for birds and rare animals like tigers or rhinos

[left adder]

/more info

[opaque shard]

Still I wish the rate of new great ones appearing would be a bit faster but can only wish

Is there anything confirmed next week?

In like what we will se

[left adder]

you can make it appear faster by spending 24 hours a day grinding 👍

[limber cliff]

JAxy.
We will see Jaxy.

[left adder]

most likely on livestream

[left adder]

Jaxy is our holy messenger

[proper wedge]

Patan in Hindi means fall as in downfall, decline, degeneration - "threatened environment" theme?

[left adder]

Oh that is actually a good catch, possibly conservation storyline

[opaque shard]

Oh no I meant in like implementing new ones

[left adder]

oh lol

[lone forge]

Downfall is what my translate gives me

[left adder]

I think a conservation storyline would work best, especially with such endnagered species like tigers and possibly more

[lone forge]

Just saying 👀

[left adder]

I really hope we get rhinos

[lone forge]

Me too, me too...

[left adder]

imagine a diamond

[lone forge]

😩

[opaque shard]

Did they take a year for Australia?

[left adder]

how cool are rhinos eh, random giant things of armour, muscle and thick skin with a giant ramming horn on its nose

[lone forge]

This is the biggest I could find

[left adder]

they might have worked on it before a long time, but i think it was 6 months

[left adder]

thats what i saw also it still looks soo good

i hope we get substantial body size difference if we get them

[lone forge]

With gavials that would be important

[opaque shard]

But we had new Englands before which was an easier project for the team so that they could worlk other things such as Australia

[left adder]

yeah, i hope so, or mostly for tiger

[left adder]

thats true, they were probably working on both since NEM was a very big rush jonb

[opaque shard]

If they had a full year for the map then maybe tigers arent the only new new thing

Maybe rhinos wasnt s stretch of thought

[left adder]

they definetly arent

i wonder what the free update will have

[left adder]

this would be a really good map, and start in middle so you can pick where to go

like rev

i think that a really good concept map with a perfect case map

tall grass + tigers = cool staljk

[lone forge]

The mountains

The grasslands and swamps could be home to rhinos

The forest and farmland biome

The autumn Forrest hills

The jungle

That's how I would do it as Ew

[acoustic plank]

Hoping for many remodels

[midnight moon]

It's more likely to be leopards instead of tigers

[acoustic plank]

Doubt they would do us like that

[midnight moon]

Like what?

[opaque shard]

That roar cannot be mistaken it is a tiger

[midnight moon]

Hunting in nepal is restricted to one area called Dhorpatan

[acoustic plank]

You know what I mean

[lone forge]

It isnt

It's the only hunting reserve

[midnight moon]

That's what I thought too until someone linked a vid comparing roars

[midnight moon]

Are you sure? From what I read hunting is only allowed in Dhorpatan

[mighty dove]

In-game calls are not always 100% accurate

[left adder]

me?

[lone forge]

I'm pretty sure yes

[midnight moon]

Idk? The one comparing tiger lion and leopard roars

[left adder]

that was me

and that roar is def a tiger leopard roar isnt as throaty and powerful

[wraith gale]

I mean people could be flinging bs but in the comments of yt people were saying they worked with tigers and that was 100% a tiger roar🤷

[midnight moon]

Hard to find solid info either way. Anyway, the reserve sounds like sundarpatan

[left adder]

yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuyL4ARMObk heres the link to the comparing vid if anyone wants

[midnight moon]

Bs everywhere

In nepal they allow hunting leopards. Tigers I have no idea

Imagine if they just had both

[left adder]

i dont think tiger is allowed but i dont think EW really cares

[left adder]

imagine jungle tiger danger and mountains have leopard danger that would be sick

[dusky bridge]

Hello

[left adder]

Hello

[mighty dove]

I think it’s great EW is doing something different if it is tiger

[left adder]

I think they are definetly giving us what we want

[dusky bridge]

There is a Hunting reserve in Nepal name "Dhorpatan" Sundar Patan means "Beautiful fall", in Dhorpatan there is a waterfall

[upbeat glacier]

Good morning good afternoon and good night everybody

[left adder]

yes

[left adder]

Good morning, good afternoon or good night to you also!

[dusky bridge]

I guess its Dhorpatan hunting reserve

Sundar patan is misleading

[midnight moon]

More like jungle tiger danger and mountain leopard run away

[left adder]

lmao yeah

[left adder]

Its a fake name for a fake reserve, they would not copy a real life place

[midnight moon]

Yes I was saying earlier

[midnight moon]

Pansies like pumas

[left adder]

only good for scaring away everything else

[dusky bridge]

I was hoping a next russian map example the kamchanka

[wind ridge]

It could be a recreation of Dhorpatan, just like they did with Parque Fernando

[left adder]

Most likely

[left adder]

Да komrade, i would love another Russian map

[midnight moon]

Privet

[midnight moon]

What is parque based on?

[dusky bridge]

Russian siberian taiga is best

[lone forge]

Lake Baikal

[left adder]

Yesss

[dusky bridge]

Lake baikal ❤️

[wind ridge]

Parque Diana in Argentina patagonia

[midnight moon]

We do have one. Needs to be quite different

[midnight moon]

You wanna go fishing G?

[lone forge]

Patagonia

[lone forge]

No but the area is very cool

[left adder]

Lake Байкал

only 4 days until nexy stream

[midnight moon]

Yes, they could do one further north

[dusky bridge]

https://youtu.be/AdONJmKOriI?si=8qMC4UfXypBaNR4J

I like that Russian hunter

[left adder]

thats where i live fr

[midnight moon]

You live by baikal?

[left adder]

Unfortunately not, for some reason i ended up all the way in Australia

[midnight moon]

Now you have to brave convicts instead of the bitter cold

[dusky bridge]

Well Australia is another hunting spot

[left adder]

lol yeah

[left adder]

hunting is amazing here

[dusky bridge]

Every animals that early settlers brought there become invasive species

[left adder]

Yeah pests are crazy here

[lone forge]

Pests go

[left adder]

In one of the states here pet rabbits are illega

[midnight moon]

Same with New Zealand sadly

[midnight moon]

Those guys are crazy. Hunting around Yakutia in the mts

[left adder]

Us Russians are very crazy

imagine mountains like that in sundar patan

[dusky bridge]

Sergei Mazurkevich Russian hunter

[midnight moon]

They should be there being Himalayas

[left adder]

hopefully

[dusky bridge]

I wish the new map has a similar weather in Yukon valley

[mighty dove]

Yukon, my beloved

[midnight moon]

They brought the himalayan tahr here to NZ and they adapted well to the southern alps

[left adder]

We better get Himalayan Tahr in game

[midnight moon]

Dw. I won't leave them alone otherwise

[dusky bridge]

And Himalayan black tahr too

[left adder]

good

[dusky bridge]

Black bear tahr

[midnight moon]

That's raciss

[dusky bridge]

Himalayan black bear tahr relax comrade 🤣

[midnight moon]

And while they're at it. Backfill tahr to te awaroa

Ffs

[left adder]

they have to

[mighty dove]

If they do add Tahr they probably will

[left adder]

they legit still have the icon for it

[lone forge]

Can you do diy hunts in Russia or do you need an outfitter?

[mighty dove]

They weren’t meant for TA originally

*were

[left adder]

you can do diy i think

[midnight moon]

It's a travesty they added chamois and not tahr

[mighty dove]

Their call scares me

[left adder]

it was a problem with the fur and mane right?

[mighty dove]

Yeah

[left adder]

I hope cotw makes tahr bigger than woth ones

[midnight moon]

How big are those ones?

[left adder]

very small

like up to knee

[dusky bridge]

I wish there will be a Horse mount DLC

[left adder]

or waist

[midnight moon]

Tahr makes a similar noise iirc

[dusky bridge]

Hunters use Horse

[midnight moon]

Those devs having a laugh?

[left adder]

idk probably

[lone forge]

I really love chamois, I would love those on spain

[mighty dove]

It took the devs a lot longer to push out this map so I am thinking something big/different is coming

[midnight moon]

EW does do things properly, gotta give them that. Females up to 60kg and bulls up to 150kg

[mighty dove]

Which makes me hella excited

[left adder]

something big better come

[left adder]

yes

[mighty dove]

Yeah, it’s me

Better watch out

[lone forge]

I hunted chamois so much I have all the rares and diamond after they deleted drinking

[mighty dove]

Knock down your house and everything

[dusky bridge]

There was a Hunter name Pedro Ampuero he hunts chamois, he has a youtube channel

[mighty dove]

Took me way too long to figure out how to properly pronounce chamois

[midnight moon]

It became more fun after they removed their drink zones

[lone forge]

It really did

[mighty dove]

I am not against the removal of drink zones honestly I think it makes the game more fun

[midnight moon]

Proper mt hunting. Fun shooting them on the tops

[midnight moon]

How do you say it?

[left adder]

i have my glock with 12 rounds in it ill be fine

[mighty dove]

Like shammy I think

[left adder]

it makes you actually hunt

[mighty dove]

Won’t be enough

Higher caliber

[midnight moon]

Some people say sham-wah hahaha

[mighty dove]

SHAPOW!

[midnight moon]

Petition to remove drink zones

[left adder]

i used to legit say sham-oh-is

[left adder]

i dont think you should remove them, just maybe make them less op

or leave them as is

[mighty dove]

Although I do like grinding too because I have high anxiety and the repetitive nature of it calms me down

[left adder]

if you wanna hunt feed zones or drink zones whos stopping you

[true ice]

@left adder you can borrow my panzerschreck

[lone forge]

Shammy

[midnight moon]

Good for getting diamonds but it is dry

[left adder]

Thank you comrade

[left adder]

yeah

[midnight moon]

Some people in NZ who don't hunt don't even know them

[true ice]

🫡

[midnight moon]

The repetition makes me more anxious and restless tbh

Little known fact, tahr are dumb. If they rarely or never see people they just stare

[left adder]

I know a lot of people are against it but i would love to have a dragunov style weapon in game, thats what i was thinking the 7-9 AR could've been

[midnight moon]

Not much point now. What you think the new gun will be?

[left adder]

probably a large cal weapon

[midnight moon]

What do the Nepalese like to hunt with?

[left adder]

not sure, i hope an actual powerhouse weapon for all the rhinos and elephants lol

[midnight moon]

I think a good long distance mt hunting calibre

[dusky bridge]

There is no chance to put Rhino and Elephants

And even a tiger

[left adder]

if they go crazy then a rhino

[midnight moon]

Although they already have them all

[left adder]

yeah technically elephants and rhinos are already part of the game

technically

[dusky bridge]

The growl on the trailer i bet its a tiger but a tiger that will in the story.

[wind ridge]

Or just a Indian Leopard

[left adder]

i doubt they would make a whole new species just for a story

[dusky bridge]

Agree indian leopard

Btw we have african map that can't feel its african map

[midnight moon]

Also agree. Tiger would be better, but leopard is more likely

They don't hunt tigers in dhorpatan

[left adder]

slide cancelling and dolphin diving when?

[midnight moon]

As for a new weapon...well...it had better be a new rifle

[dusky bridge]

What map has a higher chance of diamond moose ?

[midnight moon]

They still need 7mm08, 6.8 western, .280ai and the PRCs

[lone forge]

? Source

[midnight moon]

Maybe they could add .300WSM

6.8 or .280 would go hard for the species proposed

[dusky bridge]

From my perspective it is obvious that EW will not put endangered species in the game unless they want to become bold

[lone forge]

Bro you joined 3 days ago and talk like your an expert on everything

They said that they would we even have endangered species ingame

[dusky bridge]

Relax i am not expert it is from my own point of view

[left adder]

lmao yeh

we alr have some pretty endangered species

Euro Bison, Lions

[dusky bridge]

Maybe i could wrong

[lone forge]

Yeah I think you are, sorry

[midnight moon]

Rhinos and elephants are debatable

It's more of a size issue anyway

[gentle shale]

They should puts more Housecat animals

[left adder]

you most likely are, but everyone has been wrong about cotw many times

[lone forge]

(something along the lines of) The team is way more open to experimental and endangered species
-jaxybeard

[dusky bridge]

Agree both species are critical endangered.

[lone forge]

They're not

Indian rhinos are vulnerable and asiatic elephants are endangered

[midnight moon]

Experimental species...that's interesting

[lone forge]

I love that you partake but please do some research or say something like I think before such a statement

[midnight moon]

Leave him alone, it doesn't matter

[lone forge]

I think they mean stuff like monkeys, housecats or elephants or other animals that feel experimental

[dusky bridge]

In my point of view i think the might become controversial if players start shooting elephants and rhinos

[lone forge]

Sorry but I can't have Missinformation this is not a personal attack or anything this goes for everyone. I'm sorry if anybody understood it otherwise it's hard to communicate what you mean by text

[midnight moon]

I was thinking extinct species 🤣

[lone forge]

Oh Yeah it will, I think they should not have drink zones and be pretty rare

[lone forge]

Haha, I think that's pretty unlikely 😂

[midnight moon]

Final map: ice age usa

[mighty dove]

I think EW are testing the waters a little bit but I doubt they will add those particular species

[lone forge]

Wolly mamoth bagfill on medved?

[midnight moon]

Maybe. No one seems to care about lions

[lone forge]

Rhinos are definitely way more likely then elephants

Irish elk on Hirsch?

[dusky bridge]

Agree but for me 100% they will not put on it.

[midnight moon]

Because of the size difference

[lone forge]

Yeah

They would have tol add new weapons and a new lodge and a new weapon class

[midnight moon]

Dire wolves and short faced bears on yukon

[dusky bridge]

Far cry primal

[lone forge]

Veloceraptor on EC

[midnight moon]

The plot thickens

[lone forge]

In my opinion that would be a bit too experemntal

[midnight moon]

They won't do dinos

[lone forge]

But I'd love seeing tigers, macaques and rhinos

[midnight moon]

That's for sure

[lone forge]

I don't think they'd do anything extinct in this game and I think that's good

[midnight moon]

Highly unlikely to do ice age animals either

[midnight moon]

Do.people hunt monkeys?

[lone forge]

Of you would do that as a suggestion it would be one of those with 3 👍 and 20👎

[midnight moon]

Someone wanted iguanas hahaha

[lone forge]

Yes they are even legal game in Nepal (I think)

[minor mauve]

Its got to be a tiger, i found some clips that could help compare, hopefully this is allowed to share links. Leopard roar: https://youtu.be/WPrsmLV6KlE?si=IvArJhvyKXi2HDVM

[mighty dove]

They should add those lizards that run at you on their hind feet

[lone forge]

I mean on a Florida map I would like seeing em

[minor mauve]

I would’ve loved jaguars in mexico or south america

[lone forge]

Mauritius Map with dodos 🦤

[midnight moon]

Stop it

[wind ridge]

Yep, Resus Macaque

[dusky bridge]

I like jaguars

[minor mauve]

Oo far cry primal hunting map? Id love to hunt those big elk they had in that one

[lone forge]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1229863432967294986 could add them

[midnight moon]

Shooting monkeys and iguanas seems to me like shooting ferrets and stoats in NZ. It doesn't feel like hunting

[dusky bridge]

What about Titano boa lol

[lone forge]

Smash!

[minor mauve]

Also have they made any mention of adding the croc to Vurhonga?

[lone forge]

Nile crocodile on vurhonga

😩

🤤

Would make buffalo hunting horrible tho

If they don't do predator rework that is

[dusky bridge]

I can't feel africa in Vurhonga

[midnight moon]

Need more rivers for crocs

[minor mauve]

Wouldn’t the nile croc just be limited to egypt? I thought the crocs in the rest of the country were just called saltwater crocs?

[lone forge]

It feels like some weird Texas game ranch

[hearty ravine]

I want a Dino map like classic. But updated. Just one map!

[lone forge]

Or a zoo like dome

[midnight moon]

Thehunter primal

[lone forge]

No they aren't even found in Egypt lol

[hearty ravine]

Yes that one! Lol

[lone forge]

Oops they are

Here's they're range

[left adder]

we alr have th GO fallow

[lone forge]

Lol

[minor mauve]

Yea, was gonna say, the nile croc wouldn’t be called the nile croc is they weren’t found in the nile river in egypt lol

[arctic pond]

Do ya think that ew will add trophy shots in this update?

[lone forge]

The Nile goes thru other countries too tho

[left adder]

doubt it

maybr another one

[arctic pond]

I hope it tho

[left adder]

Crocodile meat is rlly good

[lone forge]

I would prefere a congo basin map over a Nile map every day unless it's like Ethiopia which is pretty cool

[minor mauve]

Oh neat, i didn’t know it ran that far along

[lone forge]

Never tried anything that's not a mammal or a fish

[minor mauve]

Oop forgot i was replying sorry

[left adder]

u havent eaten chicken?

[lone forge]

Nope

[left adder]

How?

[dusky bridge]

Vegan ?

[turbid wind]

Ur missing out

[lone forge]

As a kid I found them to cute and now I only eat game and fish I catch myself

[midnight moon]

A vegan that eats mammals and fish ahha

[left adder]

I respect that

[lone forge]

I never said I'm vegan

[minor mauve]

Aww

[midnight moon]

Should've @dusky bridge

[lone forge]

Ah

[turbid wind]

@lone forge telling me you've never had a chicken nugget chicken. Patty

[lone forge]

No but a schnitzel

And vegie nuggets

[midnight moon]

I prefer chicken over red meat

[turbid wind]

So You've had chicken if you had a schnitzel

[left adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SyTqmTxo3I&ab_channel=Scarecrow unrelated but i miss scarecrows old trophy shot intros

[lone forge]

I'm from Germany so...

[turbid wind]

Schnitzel is chicken fried steak

[left adder]

god i remember how bad the trophy screen used to be

[lone forge]

It's made with pork

[left adder]

deutschland

[lone forge]

I had herring, fish stick, lamb, rabbit, roe deer, reindeer, moose, cow and pork

[lone forge]

Now Sweden since a few years

[left adder]

Nice

[lone forge]

And goat

[midnight moon]

Weapons experts...what weapon should they add to the map?

[turbid wind]

Ah yeah I see that now.

Sorry

[midnight moon]

You can't say that sir

[lone forge]

Ah tasty goat milk 😋

[turbid wind]

Are you a dad to a goat?

[left adder]

Delete that before mods spawn

[dusky bridge]

Yep a goat milk

[lone forge]

After 3 days on the server we say good bye to @dusky bridge he was a great person may he rest in peace 🕊️ 🙏

[midnight moon]

Haha they'll just delete the post. It was funny though

[left adder]

🪦

[limber cliff]

As if we can't see the logs...

[lone forge]

Oops

[dusky bridge]

Oh no they delete it

[left adder]

Nein, show mercy on him hes still learning

[turbid wind]

TyK all is good here no need

Lol

[midnight moon]

Well I'm nostradamus

He's still.here

[lone forge]

Ass long as tyk spawns your fine

[turbid wind]

(sarcasm to persuade the mod to get outta here)

We love TyK

[left adder]

Ok lets switch the subject, when are they gonna add rabbits exploding when i shoot them with the 470

[limber cliff]

That said, here's your one and only verbal -

Don't make jokes like that. The server is meant to be appropriate for all ages. Also, don't circumvent the swear filter. It's there for a purpose 🫵

[turbid wind]

TyK is such a good mod

[lone forge]

I may have done that once or twice 👀

[midnight moon]

Shouldn't be able to say ass then

[lone forge]

She really is

[dusky bridge]

Oh i am sorry about what i say to the goats

[limber cliff]

Ass is a donkey?

[lone forge]

You really really love them

[limber cliff]

Also, the "gentler" swears weren't deemed as awful by the higher ups

[midnight moon]

Yes, well

[left adder]

Somalia map with Somali Wild Ass update incoming

[turbid wind]

TyK if I could I'd tip you $10

[lone forge]

Gurl that's some wyld ass!

[dusky bridge]

Yeah i like them Especially their beards

[left adder]

lets not overuse this and get this word taken away also

[lone forge]

Do I want to send you a picture of my goat tractor?

[turbid wind]

Only use ass in context of donkey

[limber cliff]

I would immediately buy craft supplies with it, 100%. Thank you.

[dusky bridge]

Go ahead

[turbid wind]

I'd be willing

What ya crafting

[lone forge]

Screw it here she is

[limber cliff]

commission of a mew

[lone forge]

The white grey one not the black sheep

[limber cliff]

omw to collect the black sheep

[dusky bridge]

🥹

[lone forge]

Tractor is the goat of the goats

[midnight moon]

I don't like goats. They're strange and smell horrendous

[turbid wind]

Ahh I'm confused where the tractor

[lone forge]

Look at they're lil eyes also tractor smells great

[limber cliff]

Tractor IS the goat

[dusky bridge]

You hurting me

[turbid wind]

Ohh

[limber cliff]

Only the males, and only during breeding season. (they pee on their beards D: )

[midnight moon]

Hunting goats is an odd experience at times. Bizarre animals

[lone forge]

Ew

[dusky bridge]

Agree

[limber cliff]

It's "attractive" to the ladygoats

[turbid wind]

The tallywacker races that far??

[midnight moon]

All year round rather, trust me I know

[limber cliff]

a lot of leaning

[limber cliff]

Hm.. Then our bucks were well behaved

[turbid wind]

That's crazy. Gotta do what ya gotta do

[lone forge]

We have one male I dont have pics but he looks like this and he's aggressive his name is monster and he has bumped my back like 4 times and it did hurt for days

[limber cliff]

HANDSOME

[dusky bridge]

Now i understand why the lady goats in our farm like me

[lone forge]

Also he escapes at least once a month

[limber cliff]

I need so many pictures of your herd in the pet chat asap pls

[left adder]

Its unrelated again but recently a ram killed two people here in Australia

nvm in nz

[dusky bridge]

I like this black "Casanova"

[midnight moon]

A billy in the track saw me only when I was 2 m away and it duly stampeded over a kid to escape and left it's foul stench behind on the track

[lone forge]

It's not my herd it's at a shared pet garden I don't have the space I only own tractor

[lone forge]

Il get some next Tuesday when I visit em again

[dusky bridge]

Awesome i turn the topic about goats

[left adder]

goodnight guys ill be back when news releases

[midnight moon]

They're dumb and easy to hunt

[dusky bridge]

Anyway i have go too

[limber cliff]

Yaaay

[midnight moon]

Sometimes They're dumber than on cotw 🤣

[lone forge]

Good night!

[lone forge]

In the weirdest way possible

[turbid wind]

That's a cow goat

[midnight moon]

Deer, tahr or pig hunting is always hard and hit or miss, but if I decide to hunt goats it's basically a guarantee to get a bunch

[limber cliff]

looks like a normal nubian to me

[limber cliff]

cotw goats give PTSD

[turbid wind]

I've never seen a goat look like that tho

[midnight moon]

I think I'd leave those ones alone

[limber cliff]

Aw haha, we had a bunch. Just a spotted coloration 😄

[turbid wind]

Ah gotcha

[limber cliff]

10/10 decision.
Do you think we will get some goat/sheep things on this map?

(I hope we do)

[molten pond]

There are a lot of caprines in nepal if I recall

[keen belfry]

Blue Sheep I think are practically guaranteed to get in

[midnight moon]

Blue sheep and tahr. 2 highlights of dhorpatan in nepal

[modern pelican]

My best guess is a Great one buffalo on the new map…like the song says”I saw the signs “ lol😊

[wind ridge]

Blue Sheep
Goral
Argali
Tahr

[molten pond]

Markhor would be cool to hunt too

[lone forge]

I beg for the nepali mountain slam

[lone forge]

Not in Nepal tho

[molten pond]

It says they are

[lone forge]

They're not found in Nepal tho

[midnight moon]

Blue sheep, tahr, muntjac, leopard/tiger. Everything else will be a pick em. Pretty likely to get wild boar and axis deer again

[keen belfry]

It’ll probably be a remodeled boar instead

[limber cliff]

hmm

[keen belfry]

I can’t see the one we have working for Nepal

[limber cliff]

someone in here said yak at some point?
I know just talking

[keen belfry]

And I repeat, I’m 100% sure we’re getting a new bear

[midnight moon]

Possible

Ah yes, bears. Pretty sure they'll put one in

[wind ridge]

just cattle yaks

[limber cliff]

Hm.. I think that could be cool

Bears could be big fun. I wonder if we get multiple ones

[molten pond]

I'm fine with water buffalo as the big murder cow

[keen belfry]

I think the Asian Black Bear is the most likely out of the candidates, but Sloth could work in the forests

[limber cliff]

Oh man.

Just googled Sloth Bears

Tell me how this is actually just me in a bear suit

[molten pond]

It's likely one of those two, but I think Asian Black Bear is the better fit since I usually think of sloth bears are more of an grassland animal

[lone forge]

Looks like great sloth bear habitat

[blazing turtle]

If you want Markhor, Pakistan and Tajikistan are suitable locations for a reserve with Markhor (For a Central Asian reserve concept check out #1119449859297132564 )

[molten pond]

If they did add sloth bear though, I would hope that they made them super aggressive like the real thing, especially if the map will also have tigers

[lone forge]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1241485747442286684
Here's my take at it

[lone forge]

Would be cool

[mighty dove]

Pls give me more aggressive animals

[molten pond]

I want this reserve to murder me terribly

[mighty dove]

I want to fear for my life

Lmao

We hate ourselves apparently

[molten pond]

give the deer the ability to shoot back with .300 mags

[keen belfry]

According to some people who looked closer at the thumbnail, we may be getting Himalayan wolves too, but I’m not 100% sure on that yet

[molten pond]

The pic is too blurry to confirm imo

[stray basalt]

I would be fine without wolves tbh.

[wind ridge]

It could also be a Golden Jackal

[keen belfry]

Same, but I’m happy either way

[molten pond]

I'm fine with a lot of the suggestions. Wolf, Dhole, Striped Hyena would all be fun choices

[limber cliff]

Whaaaat

where that screenie at

[limber cliff]

hmmmm

[keen belfry]

It might just be vegetation, but it does oddly look like a canid

[stray basalt]

[limber cliff]

HMMM....

[midnight moon]

Looks like pixels to me

[mighty dove]

Just sign us up for the FBI at this point

[limber cliff]

But I mean - could be.. anything.

[mighty dove]

It is something

[limber cliff]

We need an ENHANCE button

[mighty dove]

Small predator maybe?

[limber cliff]

Big predator from distance?

[midnight moon]

It'd be more interesting to have sloth bears. They could hang out low

[mighty dove]

Me, big back

[midnight moon]

You want to be hunted?

[keen belfry]

My ideal bear thing would be Asian Black bears closer to the mountains and sloths sticking to the forests

[wind ridge]

Golden Jackal is a possible specie, huntable, no protected

[mighty dove]

If I have to go, I want it to be exciting

Put some antlers and a tail on me

[keen belfry]

If it is a Golden Jackal, I sincerely hope it isn’t another side-striped jackal model

[midnight moon]

Is a .338 slug interesting enough for you?

[mighty dove]

No

Bigger

[molten pond]

elephant rifle

[midnight moon]

.700NE it is then

[mighty dove]

[mighty dove]

Take me out completely

[molten pond]

[mighty dove]

LMAO

[keen belfry]

Black hole

[midnight moon]

Black hole

[stray basalt]

Or is it… a sheep look really closely at the upper neck, there is some sort of curl.

[midnight moon]

Hyena

[molten pond]

It could also be nothing and that our brains are tricking us

[keen belfry]

The pointed ears are too obvious for me

[midnight moon]

It does look somewhat canine. But people see what they wanna see

[midnight moon]

EW watching the speculation and rubbing their hands in glee

[mighty dove]

It is canine, believe me I am always right

🤫

[keen belfry]

Tuesday cannot come by any faster at this rate

[mighty dove]

Watch it be a leaf or something

[stray basalt]

Although the only animal I know to have this coloration of spots are snow leopards

[molten pond]

I've always wondered if they get more enjoyment of us guessing right or us passionately falling for a red herring

[limber cliff]

broken branch

[mighty dove]

Jaxy doing yoga

[midnight moon]

Dunno...I feel like I'm onto something with Dhorpatan though...

[mighty dove]

It truly does look like a canine of some sort

[keen belfry]

All I know for sure is this; either there’s going to be controversy over tigers being added, or controversy over being fooled by a tiger like noise only to have it be an Indian Leopard

[mighty dove]

100%

I am going to enjoy myself regardless

[stray basalt]

New tree species confirmed!!! 😂

[molten pond]

idk, we already have lions in game which are not doing to hot conservation wise either

[keen belfry]

But for lions, they can be legally hunted irl

[stray basalt]

Can’t wait for Ladylegends video on this.

[wraith gale]

It’s a f*cking game who cares

[midnight moon]

Tigers = more exciting, leopards = more likely

[molten pond]

they could have something like "maneaters" to justify hunting them

[tardy sail]

sure

[wraith gale]

Or it’s a game. So who cares

[midnight moon]

That'd be a sick as storyline. Hunting a maneater

[wraith gale]

Yes but that shouldn’t need to be justified To add them

[wind ridge]

a hunting game, a hunter just can kill game animals

[stray basalt]

Or is it… no… it can’t be… a 30ft 20 ton muntjac running through the forest.

[wraith gale]

It should be like the woth story line with the lion

[midnight moon]

Alright?

[molten pond]

true, but that hasn't stopped EW for not adding some animals to maps due to not being hunted there. Reindeer not being on Finland for example

[wraith gale]

He said to justify adding them to the game

[keen belfry]

Which is something I don’t get. Finland is literally the only place in the world to hunt Finnish Forest Reindeer. And it’s not like we’ll get two Finnish maps anyway, so why wouldn’t they add them?

[wraith gale]

It’s good for the story but that should be the only way to hunt obviously

[molten pond]

they could add tranq guns

[wraith gale]

🤦

Is it planet zoo now😂😂

[stray basalt]

The Poacher: Call of the Wild😂

[wraith gale]

New trophy lodge confirmed. Just a zoo😂

[molten pond]

I mean, cabelas did it once with one of their dangerous hunts games before they became lame gallery shooters

[wraith gale]

Tranq them to then stab a tiger with a knife sounds like a w mechanic

[keen belfry]

Wasn’t that when they started taking an action style route anyway?

[wraith gale]

Automatic shooting African animals goes hard😂

[molten pond]

I want to say it was like the last cabelas game that felt like a hunting game and not like doom, but with carnivores

[stiff hornet]

Here’s how I see it: shooting pixels on a screen is not going to influence people to go poaching irl. If some idiot thinks hunting a tiger in COTW would be like hunting a real tiger, that persons gonna get eaten by a tiger.

[molten pond]

In all suport of getting more people eaten by tigers, I really want tigers in game now

[stiff hornet]

So personally, I have no problem with them adding tigers. Do I think it’s overly likely? No. Would I be mad if they do come? Also no.

[stray basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/tiger-jump-aggressive-gif-14989833

I hope they make their aggressive stance less annoying and more fun.

[keen belfry]

Agreed, but I’m still on the Leopard boat when it comes to likeliness

[stray basalt]

Give them a few now that I think about it.

[molten pond]

leopards are still pretty at least and they could also be backfilled on vurungha

[mighty dove]

At this point I just want another map regardless of what it on it as long as it is new species

[stiff hornet]

My ideal situation would be they add both leopards and tigers, but at this point I’m hoping they add Tigers just so that a bunch of people don’t whine about the fact that there aren’t any.

[stray basalt]

I just hope leopards aren’t in a really dumb class like 3-6… class 7 all the way. If it’s tigers they better not be any less than 9.

[lone forge]

👆this

[mighty dove]

I don’t think they would tease a very strong tiger-like call without adding them but that’s just me

[limber cliff]

I think this is originally part of what got Lions on Vurhonga

[stiff hornet]

I think leopards could fit as a class 7 or 8. They routinely survive .375 heart shots irl.

[molten pond]

I can see leopard in a similar class to cougar

[midnight moon]

That's because leopards are legal to hunt and tigers are not in nepal

[lone forge]

They are less then 80 kgs?

[keen belfry]

…Tigers are in Nepal though? The number is lower than India’s, of course

[stray basalt]

I can’t. How many mtn lions do you seeing shrugging off .375’s?

[gentle shale]

Someone ut the image through ai for enchancement

[midnight moon]

They survive a .375 mag slug?

[celest harness]

37-90kg

[stiff hornet]

They’re way more powerful and tough than cougars. I’ve seen cougars drop from .223 shots to the heart. Leopards just tank bullets like they’re wearing a bulletproof vest

[lone forge]

This, mountain lions are a good chunk bigger then leopards it would make no sense having leopards smaller

[lone forge]

The biggest asiatic Leopard was 77 kgs

[stiff hornet]

.375 H&H. People use that round on elephants. Leopards still tank it.

[midnight moon]

They have ~ 350 in nepal apparently

[warm nexus]

Personally, my favorite cat is the snow leopard.

[keen belfry]

African Leopards are a part of the Big Five, and people fear Leopards for a good reason

[midnight moon]

Tanking a heart shot. Doubt

[molten pond]

are you sure they didn't just miss

[stiff hornet]

Yes, absolutely sure.

[stray basalt]

If you know anything about big cats, you’d know that to be believable, they are impressive little (big) creatures.

[midnight moon]

I think you'll find red deer can't survive being heart shot with a .22, leopard isn't surviving a 375

[lone forge]

I would love those

[keen belfry]

Oh, whoops. I misread what you were saying. I thought you said Tigers weren’t in Nepal. lmao

[stiff hornet]

.375 is the MINIMUM caliber in most countries. Minimum. Y’all underestimate how incredibly tough leopards are.

[midnight moon]

That's for dangerous game hunting. The idea is to have enough stopping power to be sure, if you hit lungs you want more oomf

[heady quartz]

i used to live where they did and i’ve seen them carry zebra up trees like it’s part of their morning routine

it’s terrifying

[stiff hornet]

And yet they can still shrug it off and run away. Leopards are FAR more tough than cougars. They should be at least class 7, if not class 8.

[midnight moon]

Sure. Just don't talk about them surviving slugs to the heart because they won't

[mighty dove]

I love when we get teasers for a new map. Discord becomes so much more active

[stiff hornet]

But they literally have. It’s not unheard of. Several leopards have not dropped from .375 H&H shots. I’m not saying that they didn’t die, because they eventually did, but they ran much further than expected considering their heart literally blew up.

[mighty dove]

Jesus

[limber cliff]

Part of why lions are the class they are iirc

[mighty dove]

Could blame it on adrenaline keeping them alive for that long

Poor things

[limber cliff]

Theyve got such a STRONG cardiovascular system that their body keeps going even if the light is going out

[midnight moon]

Consider adding the .375 then, I forgot about it

[mighty dove]

Like chickens still living after their heads have been whacked off

[limber cliff]

lmao poor chooks

[midnight moon]

.375 for the big cat and maybe water buffalo

[stray basalt]

Now that we have a chance to get tigers the incentive is there.

I mean, .375 is the Argentinian minimum for water beef.

[stiff hornet]

Exactly. If this map has a lot of the Asian big game that people want (Tigers, Leopards, Gaur, etc) then a .375 is almost needed.

[keen belfry]

In that case we can save the .416 caliber for Africa 2.0 instead of .375

[stiff hornet]

That sounds pretty good. .416 is probably better for Elephants anyways.

[midnight moon]

Too bad the 375 is not as good for longer shots. I kept thinking of sheep and tahr

[blazing turtle]

I've heard of leopards shrugging off buckshot and maul the guy that shot it (read it in an hunting magazine once or twice)

[midnight moon]

6.8, .280ai or 375

[stiff hornet]

Yeah it’s definitely a shorter range gun. Really only good up to 200m

[stiff hornet]

Once again why I want them. I want a sense of danger when I’m hunting dangerous game, not the cowardly lions on Vurhonga.

[midnight moon]

Designed for stopping power. What about the 7mm08, 6.8 western or .280ai?

[mighty dove]

Cowardly lions lol

They are really shy

Lions really should be more aggressive than they are

[stiff hornet]

6.8 western would be nice, but I don’t think it’s the best for huge and dangerous game. Good for long range shooting though.

[keen belfry]

Hopefully we’re getting a feline rework

[mighty dove]

Maybe not alone, but if they are in a group they could definitely take someone down without a thought

[stray basalt]

Grizzly bears too! Especially the time of year Yukon is set.

[midnight moon]

It isn't no. Good for tahr and blue sheep instead. Wondering what gun we'll get

[blazing turtle]

It only took 2 lions to consume multiple people in the Tsavo Region of Kenya

[stiff hornet]

I think that cougars should go aggressive more often, too. They should do more bluffing than anything else, but more aggression would be nice

[stiff hornet]

Oh, for Tahr and Blue Sheep it’s perfect.

[stray basalt]

Definitely needs a Lion prides/coalition rework, something more akin to WOTH.

[little mantle]

Yes to this!

[blazing turtle]

Yes, then I can do my whole dance of death armed with my 470

[stray basalt]

New photo dropped!!!
