[mighty dove]

I mean I am not saying a lone lion couldn’t do the job but if they wanted to keep a balance in-game

[stiff hornet]

Oh that’s 100% Nepal. No doubt.

[mighty dove]

So not every lion you meet wants to eat your face and become too overbearing like some buffalo we know

[stray basalt]

You don’t see many sights like this in India.

[blazing turtle]

True, the Cape Buffalo do have a reputation for having a short temper

[mighty dove]

Precisely lol

[stiff hornet]

I guess it could be somewhere like Vietnam, but it’s more than likely Nepal.

[lone forge]

Woaaaaah

[midnight moon]

Even at rhinos. Doesn't end well for the buff though

[stray basalt]

Close up (for those speculators).

[mighty dove]

Man look at that view

[lone forge]

Are those rice fields?

[mighty dove]

This is why I love this game

[humble charm]

A wider screenshot

[stiff hornet]

They appear to be

You can tell they worked their a** off to make this

[mighty dove]

I can’t understand anyone who craps on this game’s graphics. For being 8 years old, this game is still epically beautiful

[lone forge]

This will be the best map so far

[midnight moon]

It looks hilly, not enough mts from that photo for my liking

[stiff hornet]

I agree. I’ve been an advocate for an Asian map since probably Yukon came out, and I cannot wait to see it.

[stray basalt]

We haven’t even see 1% of the map yet😭😭😭

[midnight moon]

Yeah

[limpid sinew]

Yes. I believe we've seen more

[keen belfry]

It’ll probably become more alpine the further north we go

[blazing turtle]

Reminds me of Far Cry 4 in a way with being lush and green in the south and snowy alpine in the north

[stiff hornet]

I’d bet they’ll make the map look like a map of Nepal (Mountains in the north, foothills & forests in the middle, and Grasslands & farms in the south).

[mighty dove]

I am assuming the map is going to be scary accurate

[wind ridge]

Dhorpatan Municipality

[mighty dove]

Only reason I am assuming the map is going to be scary accurate is because of the time gap between the last release

[minor shadow]

YKW This makes me think that this Reserve could be set in both India and Nepal! Like right on the Border between both countries

[lone forge]

Reminds me of the valleys zou see on the road in San Sebastian, la gomera

[stone pine]

Not related to the new pic but I saw this from @fierce bay it’s from the trailer

[limpid sinew]

Wolf

[lone forge]

Looks like a wolf

[limpid sinew]

I call it

[stone pine]

Yea

[stone pine]

There is Himalayan wolf and fox also bengal and Tibetan fox

I wouldn’t rule out it being a fox

[gentle shale]

Or a Golden jackal

Where was the bee pic posted seels s bit low res

New not bee

[stone pine]

All the socials

The pic is very zoomed in

[versed canyon]

Thumbnail from the teaser

[gentle shale]

The ricefield one

[versed canyon]

That's on social media

In their Twitter and insta

[limpid sinew]

Could you get a wider picture?

[wind ridge]

Some images of terraced fields with Rhododendrons that I could find from Nepal ❤️

[mighty dove]

Those look so fun to jump down

ATV too

[limpid sinew]

Ima be zooming down those things at 50mph when it realeases

[limpid sinew]

Farther

[limpid sinew]

Photoshoped

[stiff hornet]

I’m thinking that the main habitats we’re gonna see on this map will be
• Mountains
• Himalayan Mixed Forest
• Farmland
• Grassland
• Tropical Forest

[limpid sinew]

FOR SURE

Yeah thats totality photoshoped

Npo

ITS NOT

SRRY

[wind ridge]

Non tropical, Sub-Alpine
They have the same humidity due to the layers of fog and rain that collide and move down the sides of the mountains

[stiff hornet]

I mean, we know there’s probably tropical forest since there’s the teaser

[wind ridge]

It's similar but it's not called tropical xD

Sub-alpine humid forest

[mighty dove]

God

Give me the map now

[stone pine]

Pleaseeeee

[fierce bay]

its a crab quality because it would otherways be to small

[fierce bay]

very nice map layout in this way

[wind ridge]

A setup like this would be nice

[heady ginkgo]

i'm sure it would be a huge undertaking, or too hard to do, but i'd be keen to see variable weather introduced so that alpine areas could be impacted by snow fall etc. unless i'm already missing something in current maps lol.

[limpid sinew]

I see it now

[fierce bay]

no problem

[spring sigil]

They’ve done this with Yukon Valley

Super cool system

[midnight moon]

Oh yeah the snow makes a big difference too

[heady ginkgo]

nice. I was thinking along the lines of giving folks who want arctic some stuff to experience it on the new map. would be a smooth way to satiate some players till a future arctic map is considered

[wind ridge]

Apparently it is focused on spring, it is very unlikely that we will have snow

[heady ginkgo]

oh

well that's fair

[spring sigil]

I mean there’s medved taiga

[heady ginkgo]

yeh I get that but I was trying to think outside the box and see if there was a way for devs to do seasonal changes and include alpine snow impacted regions

probably over thinking it a bit

I played the teaser trailer again last night. i'm on the fence now about the roar. Waifu thinks it's a leopard and i'm not convinced it's a tiger any more

[shrewd shell]

I'm off to do a bit of socialising this weekend because I need the distraction from obsessing over what's coming in and with the next map! 😫
Bear reset too! 🐻😛🥳

I'd prefer this map to be spring rather than winter.

[shrewd shell]

Me too. It could easily be leopard too. It's too short to really tell.

[shrewd shell]

I think it would be better if they saved the snow stuff the Canada/Artic map.

[zinc valve]

leopards don't roar like that 🙂 they are more throat-y and deeper, they don't have that scratchy high tone that bengal tigers have

[heady ginkgo]

something in the way the throat rattled

[winter rain]

Anything new this morning?

[heady ginkgo]

much of the same it seems. but i'm not 100% up to speed tbh

[zinc valve]

for me it sounds a lot like a jaguar, but jaguars don't live in nepal haha

[round citrus]

if its a tiger then who knows what else thir will be mugger crocodiles maybe

[midnight moon]

It sounds like your typical tiger (Based on my experience learning about animals) however if it’s not I’m cool with any big cat

We need more of em in game

But I do hope it’s a tiger

[zinc valve]

as far as I'm aware only clouded leopards (which are way too small for that roar) and snow leopards live in nepal and I don't think it will be a snowy area

[midnight moon]

Yeah, and clouded leopards aren’t dangerous

Too small

Snow leopards maybe but even then tigers are in the lower areas so I think they’re most likely

[zinc valve]

I really hope we get Himalayan tahr .. there's already a lot of goats but these are so funny lol

[midnight moon]

Me too, the more animals to hunt, the better

[zinc valve]

"did someone say lion?"

[quick grail]

Dang that thing looks nice to cuddle

What is it?

[zinc valve]

a himalayan tahr!

[quick grail]

Ooooo

[winter rain]

Any news today?

[quick grail]

Ty ty, they're gorgeous

Don't think so, been told possibly Tuesday by others on the server

[winter rain]

wassat?

[winter rain]

I assume Jaxy will spill something it's in his nature lol.

@agile mortar amiright

[quick grail]

Shhh if we pretend that he won't he might let his guard down :P

[midnight moon]

I’m betting the reserve releases early to mid June

[quick grail]

If released in June its gonna end up being my "ok elden ring is stressing me too much time to play something else for a minute" game 0:

[midnight moon]

Well my reason is look at when most reserves are released

Either December or June

[quick grail]

I agree

I mean more a lot of things are June this year haha

[midnight moon]

If it’s not out in June I will eat a boot

[zinc valve]

my prediction: muntjac, wild boar, musk deer, himalayan monal, black bear, bengal tiger and two of either blue sheep, himalayan tahr, goral or serow
(edited order for clarity)

[heady ginkgo]

i don't think the community will stay sane if they release it in December...😅

[midnight moon]

Lucky us they’re giving news

So that means it’s closer than December

[quick grail]

I think I'd love a mission to hunt a maneating tiger, just a special one where its very scarred and wounded so they had to resort to humans

Paying homage to other situations that happened irl

[heady ginkgo]

mission animal maybe if not a main species

[midnight moon]

Yeah I’m disappointed they didn’t do anything like that with a lion and there was a whole movie about stuff like that called the ghost in the darkness

Two man eating lions were attacking workers on a railway bridge in Africa

[final sierra]

[quick grail]

There was a v famous hunter who's name escapes me who was renowned for his respect of animals he hunted that hunted humans

Watched a thing about him lately, I just cannot remember his name, ik he was a British Indian man

[wind ridge]

I think this is the most likely list in my opinion.
North Red Muntjac
Axis Deer
WIld Boar
Sloth Bear
Indian Leopard
Blue Sheep
Tahr
Nilgai
Goral/Himal Argali
Golden Jackal
Hispid Hare
Bar-head Goose
Some pheasant
Some Partridge

[quick grail]

sobs in peacock hunting

Jim Corbett is who im thinking about

[plain yoke]

only 11 animals would not make many happy ....

[grand cipher]

Only 11? Have you seen the older maps😂y’all complain too much

[stone pine]

The newer maps have had 14ish

[plain yoke]

well thats the point ... they are trying to do better

or at least they claim to

[grand cipher]

I’m shocked I don’t see “I wanted Africa 2.0” comments tho

[midnight moon]

Tbf tigers make up for it

[quick grail]

i think this offers such a diverse potential that ppl are pleased

yea that and tigers

or leopards

god imagine both

[grand cipher]

Truth

[plain yoke]

if tigers are there that will make a big difference

[midnight moon]

I’ll go feral if it’s both

[quick grail]

we'd be so fricked

imagine being hunted by both 0_0

[grand cipher]

Happy to see that people aren’t disappointed and actually excited

[stiff hornet]

I wouldn’t be surprised if this map had 20+ species.

[quick grail]

tbh the reason idont enjoy some newer maps is just its incredibly frustrating trying to traverse past rivers

[heady ginkgo]

do they have the room for it? how many does Rev have?

[quick grail]

australia isn't so bad btu yea

[plain yoke]

thats what I'm saying it needs to be bigger and better

[grand cipher]

A lot of small bird/game is found over there

[stiff hornet]

Rev has 19

[midnight moon]

I want to hunt badgers one day

[stiff hornet]

Asian Hog Badgers are found in Nepal I believe.

[midnight moon]

Hell yeah

[heady ginkgo]

nice. is size a factor then? I remember something being said about having to make room in backfills or something and that some animals would be removed to make room

unless i misheard

[quick grail]

lmao just throw honey badgers into the current africa map and just say nothing until ppl encounter them

[plain yoke]

agressive honey badgers would be awesome

[grand cipher]

Back to just lurking every week 🫥

[stiff hornet]

Nvm, the species found there is the Honey Badger, which is even cooler.

[midnight moon]

Hell if they have dens they could give us dachshunds to flush em out

Cause dachshunds are badger hunting dogs

[lone forge]

Haha

[heady ginkgo]

and tempting fate to push back the release of the map lol to roll out the new dog . jks jks

[plain yoke]

imagine walking by a honey badger burrow ... and the next thing you know WHACK!

like walking through a mine field

[midnight moon]

Tbf I’ve had the same thing happen with a rabid raccoon

Lucky me I didn’t get bit or anything but I did kill it

[stiff hornet]

Honey Badger don’t give a sh*t

[quick grail]

honestly i just want a good flushing dog so i can better sneak up on birds that need to fly, then shoot em
like- i still find it annoying having to flush them myself lol

[midnight moon]

Yeah that would be awesome

[plain yoke]

yeah but Honey badgers dont have to be diseased ... they are just naturally aggressive and not afraid of anyhting

[midnight moon]

Or you know give the dogs the ability to kill and bring back birds

[quick grail]

id rather them not kill the birds

and the labs do retrieving

just scare em a lil

[worn aurora]

Honey Badgers are the new capercailles

[stiff hornet]

They fight multiple lions that are 10x their size. Im convinced they have a death wish.

[midnight moon]

I’m still waiting for hunter customization

[plain yoke]

Neha hunter need to kill the bird ... dogs just point and retrieve

[midnight moon]

Also my dachshund idea could work for rabbit dens too

[stiff hornet]

If theres Honey Badgers on this map it’ll make my year

[plain yoke]

Dachsunds are better at being scent trackers ....

[midnight moon]

They were bred for badger dens

[hexed moth]

that's what theyre like in far cry

[midnight moon]

To go in and get em out

[worn aurora]

dachshunds with a burrowing mechanic could be neat

[stiff hornet]

Wild idea, but: we use domestic ferrets to flush out rabbit burrows like the Romans did.

[midnight moon]

Hell yeah

[wind ridge]

I had forgotten about the axis, hare and partridge xD

[worn aurora]

though you’d only use it for the rabbits and badgers if they have burrows

[hexed moth]

walks into reserve with a backpack full of ferrets

[quick grail]

and we can cqarry it on our shoulders<3

[worn aurora]

which begs the question, you guys don’t just snipe rabbits with the .22?

[midnight moon]

Nah I like to use birdshot

[quick grail]

god dont talk to me about the .22
im very upset with it lately lol

[plain yoke]

this is what you need to hunt rabbits ... https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1070641304255598602

[stiff hornet]

aggressive noodles

[worn aurora]

sumatran rhinos would be fun to see

[midnight moon]

I vibe with this idea

[lone forge]

I would love seeing them

[worn aurora]

sloth bears too

[plain yoke]

those things look like armored tanks

[midnight moon]

I’m sorry but their ain’t no way in hell I’m riding an elephant

[zinc valve]

as much as I'd love to see rhinos ingame, the cruel reality about this hunt breaks my heart too much to be able to enjoy it I think

[midnight moon]

That too

[quick grail]

i just think of the video of a guy on an elephant and the tiger leaps up at him with seeming ease

[hexed moth]

i did it as a little kid it was kinda fun actually, but i dont really like heights

[zinc valve]

fun for you probably more than fun for the elephant 😛

[hexed moth]

they reach back with their trunk to check on you

[lone forge]

Those elephant riding things are so horrible

[midnight moon]

You have more bravery than I do, one bad day for an elephant could mean one worse day for a lot of people

[hexed moth]

this was like 20 years ago when circus animals were a thing

[worn aurora]

elephant riding is alright
it’s not as much fun as it seems though it’s a way to get around those areas

[stiff hornet]

Well it depends. On a cow elephant? Yeah, it’s not good. On a large bull? They’re fine.

[midnight moon]

Oh then I’d be only 2 at the time

[hexed moth]

it was a lot like a pony ride, they called some kids from the audience and loaded like 4 of us on the elephant

[lone forge]

It's more the way where the elephant comes from how it got "tamed" and how they are treated

[zinc valve]

I mean it's arguable that they are fine for the carrying you part, but the whole circumstances of being in a position where people are letting others ride on elephants..

[hexed moth]

i really hope it was treated well

[stiff hornet]

Right. Thats normally the bad part.

[lone forge]

They usually take wild young elephants they'res Videos on it thats how it's done in asia

[zinc valve]

the only places I support are sanctuaries who let you be around elephants for a donation.. but those places usually don't allow riding either

[stiff hornet]

In most of Asia, elephants are revered, so it likely was. Some of them are born in captivity, but most are taken by…other means. Not legal means.

[worn aurora]

I went to a nature reserve in Thailand and they offered a half-hour ride for 20 dollars
gas vehicles weren’t allowed in the park, and half of the area is marshland flooded up to 7 feet of water so if you wanted to see the park you basically had no other option

[hexed moth]

as a kid the circus was a fun day trip but as an adult i feel super guilty about it

they had lion tamers too which.... isn't great

[midnight moon]

I hated circuses as a kid, I have a bad fear of clowns

[lone forge]

I feel that Its so sad

[zinc valve]

don't feel bad, you were young and the fact that you even have the slightest remorse about it shows that you've educated yourself and that's what matters 🙂

[plain yoke]

They could design the hunbting of elephants and Rhinos so that they must be hunted in an ethical way ... Not slaughter in a grind like white tail

[lone forge]

I feel happy that circuses are illegal in my country

[worn aurora]

it was nice though the place specifically bought bred elephants from construction companies to rehabilitate them and they had a lot of other conservation stuff going on in the reserve

[lone forge]

No drink zones, small populations, you will have too get close

[wind ridge]

2 o 3 elephants spawns per time will be fine

[zinc valve]

family pic to lift up the mood 🙂

[midnight moon]

This is the best way to do it

[barren comet]

Today a trailer available?

[midnight moon]

I would like to hunt meer cats too

[hexed moth]

rapid fire with .22

[quick grail]

meetkats btu they are as visious as iberian wolves when threatened

death by 1000 lil bites

[plain yoke]

I was think more along the lines of tags that are very expensive maybe mission oriented ... and limited how many a player can kill in a certain period of time .... but do it in the context of a mission to not break immersion

[hexed moth]

anyone remember meerkat manor the like drama show about a group of them

[lone forge]

I don't know that would limit the players ability to hunt them

[midnight moon]

Yep

On animal planet

[lone forge]

I think making it harder would be cooler

So the player would have to spend a lot of time hunting for then

[plain yoke]

you wouldnt be able to grind them like whitetail

[hexed moth]

the issue with adding things like this to the game is realistically, you could sit there and grind out their real life population in a few hours

[midnight moon]

Give the elephants a one hit kill on the player?

[worn aurora]

fits the bill since most elephant hunting is purely just walking around until you are in sight of one
only thing is taking multiple shots on the elephant is more ethical since you’ll down it more quickly which is counterintuitive to the harvest check

[midnight moon]

And easy Aggro

[lone forge]

They changed the harvest checks in elephants so they might again

[plain yoke]

we do that with every species on every map ....

[worn aurora]

I think i’ve probably killed most of the ibex in Spain at this point

With my grind in CC

[lone forge]

Oh me too

[midnight moon]

I’d have made grey wolves extinct in the wild by now

[languid hill]

cute

[worn aurora]

ngl that would be neat so see exceptions for certain larger game

[hexed moth]

hunting the wolves is stressful

[languid hill]

how do you read this fast

[worn aurora]

Cuz one heart shot isn’t gonna down your elephant

3 or 4, definitely

[zinc valve]

I had it open on my second monitor haha

[quick grail]

had to read fast to do content moderation as a job, kinda made me fast at it personally

[languid hill]

bruh

[languid hill]

aren't heart shots instant

i mean

[hexed moth]

if it penetrates yes

[languid hill]

dont they instantly just 😵 when it hits the heart

so

[hexed moth]

not even an elephant would survive a bullet in the heart

it might stay up for a while though since theres a higher volume of blood

[languid hill]

there's no animal that can survive a heart shot

even a human

[hexed moth]

squids

[worn aurora]

an elephant’s heart is the size of a basketball

[languid hill]

bruh

[hexed moth]

loll

[languid hill]

so we gonna dunk it

[lone forge]

A Tiger's legs are so powerful that they can remain standing even when dead, they have been known to have been shot, bleed out, and die, all while standing up.

[worn aurora]

you’re gonna have one really mad elephant for about 30 seconds before he goes down

[hexed moth]

thats just cat stubboness

[languid hill]

o

imagine seeing a tiger thinking its hallucinating or bugged ingame bru

or irl

[quick grail]

LOL
i laughed so hard my stomach hurts dufhgdifughdf

[hexed moth]

they say when a pet cat lives past 15 they stay alive out of spite

[worn aurora]

I knew a cat that lived to 17 years

[languid hill]

cats dont even land on their feet

[quick grail]

i will feel bad hunting the lions but bc it is video game i v quickly lose the guilt lol

[plain yoke]

Truthfully I dont think elephant hunting would be that much fun in game .... They are just too big targets .... I would probably only kill diamonds and only if it was bibbger than what I already have

[worn aurora]

actually just sat on the couch 24 hours a day

[quick grail]

some cats can live up to 25

[hexed moth]

my boy lived to 19

[lone forge]

We had one in our town that outlived all of her kids, she got to 26 and survived 2 poisonous snake bites

[quick grail]

oldest cat lived to 38

[languid hill]

erm

lions and tigers are cats

technically

[quick grail]

fine

oldest domestic cat lived to 38

[languid hill]

lol

[lone forge]

Both are panthers to be more specific

[quick grail]

GETTEM JANNY

[zinc valve]

I mean and panther is a genus of big cats 😛

[hexed moth]

i recently learned that snow leopards arent actually big cats

[languid hill]

and big cats are cats

[worn aurora]

there's a point where the realism has to be abandoned or embraced
and realistically the way you go around killing elephants is not how you go around harvesting other animals in game with 2shot reqs

[hexed moth]

they purr

[lone forge]

Panthera is a genus of big cats

[languid hill]

if they're addicted to catnip they're cats

[low citrus]

Snow leopards > every other cat

[languid hill]

🤓

[zinc valve]

that's just the latin word, makes no difference

[quick grail]

god cheezer i wanna fight u (joking around)

[lone forge]

Panthers refere to the cats in the panthera genus

[quick grail]

gosh darn nerd :P

[languid hill]

[lone forge]

[quick grail]

I SUBMIT

im a massive kitty (i don't think i can say the slang term i wanna use haha)

[languid hill]

nevermind

[quick grail]

no im like a munchikin one

legs bad

[hexed moth]

theyre so pretty

[plain yoke]

yeah I wouldnt kill that many but I think it would be awesome to see elephant herds roaming around the map

[languid hill]

wait can big cats survive long falls

[quick grail]

i think snow leopards can

[hexed moth]

sometimes yeah

[lone forge]

Depends

[hexed moth]

if they land right

[quick grail]

i can imagine leopards and jaguars would have a chance, lions idk

cheetahs i doubt it

[lone forge]

Some do and then they'res cheetahs

[zinc valve]

a black-footed cat comes close

[low citrus]

They probably have the same instinct of landing on their feet but I dont know if they’re capable of surviving the same falls house cats can

[languid hill]

how would a lion even fall

[lone forge]

Who are not big cats btw

[worn aurora]

they'd add a lot more character to Vurhonga for sure

[low citrus]

Yknow, higher weight and everything

[languid hill]

they dont land on their feet do they

[quick grail]

he'd slip

[raven girder]

Sundarpatan

[hexed moth]

ever see lion king?

[languid hill]

bruh

[worn aurora]

imagine stalking a kudu through the brush and a bull just rushes at you without any sound

[languid hill]

its an ANIMATED movie

lions dont hold each other saying that they're brothers and stuff

then get thrown to their death

[lone forge]

We only need this map and a latin America map to put em all ingame

[languid hill]

🙃

[quick grail]

goddamn it isnt a documentary? I thought lions just acted shakespear constantly

[lone forge]

Live action remake left the chat 🚪

[languid hill]

dang

if they actually added a rudolph in christmas

or did they

[quick grail]

god hunting in the amazon would prob never happen but imagine hunting MASSIVE anacondas

[worn aurora]

that's just that they want you to think

[lone forge]

Or we could put em on rancho

[languid hill]

bru

[languid hill]

it looks like steak

[zinc valve]

what if we get manul?

round

[languid hill]

too cute to be shot down

[worn aurora]

ngl more reptiles would be amazing to see in game

[lone forge]

I think I only had one of those in my live

[worn aurora]

komodo dragons in sundar would be a blast

[languid hill]

I've never had a steak in my life

I don't eat cows

they have a higher IQ level than me

[lone forge]

I always was more a sheep chop gurl

[languid hill]

[quick grail]

yeah id love to hunt big cool ones
oooo i just want an amazing long snake in my lodge

[hexed moth]

[lone forge]

I don't either

[hexed moth]

mutton is the best

[languid hill]

i love chicken

[quick grail]

idk man ur brain seems to be p good

[languid hill]

yea

in games

when it comes to math im a dummy

[lone forge]

I've seen one at a confiscated animal sanctuary once they're funny

[hexed moth]

are you good at artistic subjects like language?

[quick grail]

chicken and beef are my preferred meats, pork i can take or leave tbh

[languid hill]

I literally learned english off of minecraft

school didnt teach me nothin

[lone forge]

Me too lol

[languid hill]

club penguin to

[quick grail]

thats why they invented the calculator,
cows cant use them, on account of their hooves

[heady ginkgo]

probably not the most appropriate place for saying this kind of thing

[worn aurora]

imagine being able to put this guy in your lodge ❤️

[languid hill]

well cows can use their brain which I mostly can't

[lone forge]

I learned English becouse I had watched all Videos on YouTube about saltwater coral they're where in Germany so I switched to English

Don't boop that snoot

just- a real frickin nasty article appeared about something 4 hunters did to one

[lone forge]

Bro that's a fricking dragon

[languid hill]

its a tiny dragon

[hexed moth]

but it looks so cool

[worn aurora]

even a .22lr would be excessive for this guy lol

[languid hill]

adding snakes to the hunter would be insane

imagine getting poisoned and dying

[worn aurora]

gonna just step on him for the harvest check

[hexed moth]

you catch them with an empty peanut butter jar

[languid hill]

lol

[lone forge]

It just took me 20 seconds to spell the word that, I was trying said but it feels wrong lol 😭

[quick grail]

they're added but we get the "strangle" button as an attack

[hexed moth]

i usually just guess and let auto correct do it's thing

[languid hill]

[lone forge]

Autocorrect couldn't help me anymore

[languid hill]

I hate COTW modded servers

literally

[lone forge]

Omg in so happy that I'm on console

[languid hill]

I was just going on a banteng hunt and got flinged to the skies by a cheater

[lone forge]

Bro

[languid hill]

multiplayer

[lone forge]

Camels on EC?

[languid hill]

that would be cool

[hexed moth]

very good idea

australia has a LOT of camels

[quick grail]

i dont get doing that- i mean i understand if you are playing on your own with some mods to increase view distance or animal spawns but, i don't see the point in going into MP with it or like, being as braggy about your kills idk

[worn aurora]

camel hunting would be pretty funny

[quick grail]

god camels are so dumb looking, i love em

[languid hill]

lol

add monkeys to the game

[hexed moth]

apparently they taste good

[worn aurora]

plus they're invasive

[quick grail]

they should add horses to australia
to hunt

[languid hill]

it bit me irl I wanna get revenge

[worn aurora]

would be a fun money grind

[hexed moth]

the coat variation wow

[languid hill]

gorillas in COTW?

they would need a new map tho

[lone forge]

Scrub bulls in the outback?

[quick grail]

ikr? I think it'd be amazing, I would just have an entire lodge filled with horses<3

[lone forge]

I would love congo basin map

[languid hill]

aw man

[worn aurora]

isn't Africa 2.0 bound to happen

or is it yet to be considered

[lone forge]

Please let it be somewhere in central aftica

[hexed moth]

Congo probably

[lone forge]

Not one of the next 3 maps

[languid hill]

NPCs in COTW?

[plain vigil]

in the picture from the new post from call of the wild on yt there is an animal in the down rigth cornor

[languid hill]

(humans not animals)

[worn aurora]

yeah that's what I heard

[lone forge]

So not Sundar and not the 2 after

[lone forge]

We all know

[dry pivot]

I hope the next Africa map has the big 5 on it

[lone forge]

It's probably a wolf

[tepid nexus]

that camel has QUITE LITERALLY TESTICLES IN HIS MOUTH

[languid hill]

funny name

[lone forge]

Nope it is his tongue

[tepid nexus]

its Tuck

Not the other one

[languid hill]

funny name still

[hexed moth]

i can't remember if it's their throat but they do that too keep cool

[languid hill]

what if they bite it

insta kill

[worn aurora]

the thing with gorillas is that it was a fairly common trophy hunt before poaching and tourism really took off in Africa

[languid hill]

💀

[quick grail]

lmao let us hunt the panther in england seeing there seems to be even more evidence of some living there

[worn aurora]

the reason you can't hunt them anymore is because of all the poaching

[languid hill]

oh

[tepid nexus]

i thought i heard they bite off the testicles of other males while fighting

[hexed moth]

idk if they have teeth there tbh

[languid hill]

what.

[lone forge]

Why are they poached tho

[hexed moth]

a lot of animals go for the balls actually

[worn aurora]

tasmanian tiger GO in EC when

[languid hill]

they know the weakest spot of a male 🗿

[tepid nexus]

yeah i think im getting confused with another animal

[lone forge]

It can't hurt that bad

[worn aurora]

meat, "medicinal" value to some people, sport/trophy for others

[languid hill]

ahem

[hexed moth]

i always compare it to being hit in the cervix

[worn aurora]

mostly meat though

[languid hill]

1. no kids
2. pain
3. depression

[worn aurora]

it's kinda hard to find someone who'll mount a gorilla for you, unless you're paying a lot of money or they're fine with poaching

[quick grail]

aaaaaa owowow

[lone forge]

I mean they're rolling on the floor by a little kick I can't imagine that it hurts so bad I mean I it will hurt butt not that much that a full grown man lays on his tummy and cries

[tepid nexus]

excuse me?

[languid hill]

mount a gorilla

thats a new one

[worn aurora]

works both ways lol

[languid hill]

ok tuck is the sus guy in the server

[lone forge]

I mean all the organs are in the chest and I broke my rib once from getting hit they're but I think they'res not much between the legs organ wise

[tepid nexus]

huh??

[languid hill]

😂

[tepid nexus]

you think youre funny bud

[languid hill]

erm

no

[worn aurora]

what was the animal in the trailer for sundar

[languid hill]

but its true

[lone forge]

Muntjac

[hexed moth]

it's all about nerve density. having their bits outside the body isnt ideal, but too much heat isnt good for fertility

[gaunt imp]

Muntjac and some form of geese

[worn aurora]

got it

[tepid nexus]

homie , its as bad as pros COTW chat

[lone forge]

That makes sense, it's still kinda comical too me

[tepid nexus]

its very bad in here

[gaunt imp]

I can tell

[worn aurora]

oh it's the guy with the holes in its face

hehe

[tepid nexus]

.

[lone forge]

It's bad but I'm a baddie 😎

[worn aurora]

they're funny

[languid hill]

what

it looks like ears tho

[gaunt imp]

Bro has air intakes

[worn aurora]

they're scent glands

[languid hill]

man im dead

[worn aurora]

like an even cooler musk deer

[hexed moth]

thats pretty metal

[worn aurora]

euromounts would be a cool addition for trophies

[lone forge]

We need them

[lone forge]

My great grandpa had over a hundred of those

Mostly roe deer, red deer, fallow deer and wild boar

Also a lot of taxidermied birds

[worn aurora]

sticking a deer euromount on the smaller plaques would save so much space

[lone forge]

Like even the dead songbirds he found had a place in his house

[lone forge]

It would

[hexed moth]

GO skull when

[lone forge]

Or on the table like in the Layton lodge

[worn aurora]

my grandpa had a ton of stuffed pheasants and quails, big bird hunter (he had like 60 beagles between him and 2 of his friends at some point for flushing)

[plain vigil]

are their any animals in india/nepal that are already in other maps? that would be in the new map also

[worn aurora]

my other gramps was a big boar hunter though he quit after he saw his guide get gored

[worn aurora]

sambar is the only one I can think of off the top of my head

[lone forge]

Axis, hog deer and wild boar

And sambar

[worn aurora]

india has the gaur which is a buffalo similar to banteng but it's a different species

[plain vigil]

interesting multymounts

[worn aurora]

a multimount of axis, sambar, and hog would be cool

[lone forge]

Btw my friends have been calling for 140 hours now 😭

[opaque shard]

I swear aint that a rabbit to the right

[hexed moth]

i see it lol

[lone forge]

Can you mark it on the bigger pic lol

[hexed moth]

rabbit great one

[worn aurora]

imagine if they added peacocks

[worn aurora]

and you could just hunt them like turkeys

[wind ridge]

short ears, maybe Hispid Hare?

[hexed moth]

you would hear them screaming too

that would be so cool

[worn aurora]

piebald peacock would go nicely with my piebald mallards

[lone forge]

I love the lagomorphs with the newer models

[hexed moth]

rabbit great one

[lone forge]

As long as they are rare lol

[worn aurora]

scrub hare GO when

[hexed moth]

the females will be invisable lol

[lone forge]

42

[hexed moth]

id like this in the entrance of my lodge plz and ty

[quaint lintel]

Wait what, what did I miss?

[worn aurora]

just talking about what animals could be in sundar

gaur, gharial, peacocks, komodo dragons

[hexed moth]

Dhole?

[worn aurora]

an asia map just has so many opportunities for new big reptiles to be added

[worn aurora]

dhole would be interesting

[hexed moth]

let me look at the list of animals in far cry 4 real quick lol

[quaint lintel]

Yooo, look at the pink trees in cotw ... Asian nature incoming

[wind ridge]

just a strip of land

[lone forge]

I'd love Himalayan wolf's

[lone forge]

This guy has priority

[hexed moth]

red pandas

id feel bad though

[winter rain]

OMG GUYS HAVE YOU SEE THIS?

https://youtu.be/dgguTO8Fs6c?si=Tk9XW2Ds0SwmlGsi

[lone forge]

Yes lol

[gaunt imp]

Imagine it standing up on its hind legs... Just to get blasted by a 300 round

[hexed moth]

blackbuck maybe

[winter rain]

I have to ask is anyone else thoroughly bothered by the deer chewing sounds in the teaser?

[lone forge]

No they bring me down

[winter rain]

I...wat

[lone forge]

They relax me

[hexed moth]

deer chewing asmr

[lone forge]

I love animal eating sounds I sometimes put them up on my laptop before sleep

Especially when camels and goats eat or crabs

[winter rain]

I have severe misophonia so chewing sounds are insanely irritating. But not just that the chewing sounds like a fat man at a salad bar lol

[hexed moth]

dont deer kinda eat loud

i imagine it's like cows

[winter rain]

If you ask the audio designers at Expansive Worlds, yes. They do. Like a fat man at a salad bar

[lone forge]

I sometimes watch those eat when I have nothing to do because they'res a herd where I live

[hexed moth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5vmuPZjDtg

wait this is so cute

[wind ridge]

If you get close enough you can hear the animals chewing

[lone forge]

Yeah that's what I mean

[hexed moth]

just a girl and her appy slices

[wind ridge]

You can also see the steam of Reindeer breath in Taiga

[winter rain]

They're not nearly as loud as the deer in the EW Teaser lol

[arctic pond]

Yeah it was a little bit irritating

[hexed moth]

i didnt even notice it

[winter rain]

[languid wedge]

He looks like how I feel most days

[worn aurora]

lol muntjac scream like foxes do

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHEWCUvxY8M

just what I need to get startled sneaking around

[hexed moth]

you get too close and it goes full zoomies

[lone forge]

Alexa add "get a pet muntjac" to the To Doo list

[hexed moth]

aren't they stinky?

[lone forge]

Then I'll get a Hog deer

[hexed moth]

get a red deer

dont be a coward

[worn aurora]

is bleach a "stinky" smell though

[hexed moth]

get an irish elk

[worn aurora]

plus all animals are stinky

[languid wedge]

I mean people have pet skunks

[warm nexus]

Pet skunks tend to have the glands removed.

[hexed moth]

they get de-stinky'd like ferrets

[worn aurora]

the scent muntjacs release smells like bleach for some reason

we got oxiclean deer before GTA VI

[languid wedge]

Lmao

[lone forge]

I found a muntjac seller but they only sell bottle fed baby's I think thats pretty sketchy

[hexed moth]

bleach is better than maned wolf smell in the house i guess

[worn aurora]

most exotic animal sales are pretty iffy to begin with

unless it's a large-scale breeder

or you happen to adopt an invasive off the side of the road

[hexed moth]

i live in a huge city so no mini deer for me

[worn aurora]

muntjac roommate

he pays rent too so it's alright

[plain yoke]

Little Muntjac ... bottom of the food chain .... 🐯

🐅 🐅 🐅

[lone forge]

Oh may be I'll get a water deer?

I'll buy a property in Texas and get some exotics

Not for hunting, just as pets

[hexed moth]

now i really want peacocks in the game

[plain yoke]

🦚

[hexed moth]

imagine seeing them strutting

🥹

[plain yoke]

I would just like to hear them calling while I'm hunting

[hexed moth]

that too

or see them flying

[stark storm]

I’d imagine even if they aren’t on the roster their sounds will be part of the ambience

[plain yoke]

if they add peafowl they will have to get the calls right

everyone knows what they sound like

[stark storm]

Interestingly Primos makes a peacock caller!

[vale grotto]

That would be cool but most people would hate it as rabbits are near to impossible to grind

[stark storm]

Used to get shock gobbles out of turkeys but still

[meager crater]

I really hope they don’t make it just an ambient sound, growing up with them as pets makes me hate the sounds

[hexed moth]

that's the best part

😈

[vale grotto]

as i grind i wouldn't be mad but it would take someone like a year to just try and get one as they are near to impossible

[plain yoke]

They really missed an opportunity not putting the kookaburra laugh in EC

[stark storm]

Pretty sure it is

[hexed moth]

do they make good pets? like if i got a few chickens would adding a peacock be much more difficult?

[stark storm]

I think you can hear it in more of the scrubland areas

[hexed moth]

or you'd just have to get lucky

[limber cliff]

There's almost 600 messages since I last stuck my head in here

Anything importanté?

[hexed moth]

rabbit great one

[vale grotto]

Thing is its not a rrabbit

[lone forge]

A rabbit great one was confirmed

A rabbit great one was confirmed

[vale grotto]

@hexed moth

[scarlet bluff]

when

[hexed moth]

im holding out hope

[scarlet bluff]

i hope that that actually didn’t happen

[stark storm]

I wonder if there will be a lagomorph at all on this map

[vale grotto]

It literally a picture that EW posted which everyone is saying its a Rabbit G1 but its just the land

[scarlet bluff]

what is it posted on?

[lone forge]

It's a joke sorry

[vale grotto]

ngl if a rabbit G1 was a thing i think it could be the most hated g1 possible as its impossible to grind them.

[vale grotto]

Yt, 2 hours ago

[limber cliff]

I somehow don't believe it, there'd be way more than 600 messages in here haha

[scarlet bluff]

thank god lol

[vale grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT4y83PIfd34qxS2vPIqwcg/community?lb=UgkxCrgnAjE8qworHeyK-cJEOANS_fG3Pdne

[scarlet bluff]

a rabbit GO would be absolutely horrible

thanks

[hexed moth]

turkey great one

mallard great one

[vale grotto]

Unlucky as its not a base game animal

[stark storm]

I think most small game GO’s wouldn’t be taken that well

[plain yoke]

Turkeys would make a very valid G1

[vale grotto]

Fox or Coyote wouldn't be the worst as its grindable

[stark storm]

A small predator would be neat imo

[scarlet bluff]

coyote would be the best choice since they’re in a pack

but won’t happen this time around anyway

[hexed moth]

awee my fan just died

[stark storm]

I think red fox would happen first just for the variety of maps it’s on

[vivid cosmos]

It’s probably going to be a tiger no? The new GO?

[gentle shale]

Feral pig

[scarlet bluff]

maybe but i doubt it

[stark storm]

I doubt it would be a species that’s only on one map

[vale grotto]

Could be but idk.

[scarlet bluff]

why would they go with feral pig over boar?

[vivid cosmos]

Or is EW hasn’t started with the non base game GOs?

[gentle shale]

Boar us base map animal

[scarlet bluff]

i don’t think they would go with feral pig because they could have stayed based game and went with boar

[gentle shale]

Hog is not and on 3maps so plenty to grind

[scarlet bluff]

obviously

[vale grotto]

Thing is i think they won't split the hype up this time.

[vivid cosmos]

Is the new GO confirmed not to be a Base game animal?

[scarlet bluff]

yes

[wind ridge]

Feral Pig is a good option

[vale grotto]

Yes, Jaxy confirmed its not on a base game map

[gentle shale]

Its on mississipi new zealand and australia

So grind away

[scarlet bluff]

if the GO ends up on the new map it won’t be feral pig

[vivid cosmos]

Did he say it wouldn’t be a deer type?

[stark storm]

To be fair when whitetail GO came out it was only on one map

[scarlet bluff]

they have wild boar there i believe not feral pig

[vale grotto]

Its something unexpected

[vivid cosmos]

Because if he didn’t my bet is on the mule deer

[scarlet bluff]

when did it come out again?

[stark storm]

Like 2019?

Or maybe 2020

[vale grotto]

2020 i think

[stark storm]

It was before I started playing and I started in 2021

[vale grotto]

The class was introduced in April 2020 with the Whitetail Deer Great Ones being added to the game. The next species followed in November 2021 with the Red Deer.

[wind ridge]

There are many cases of giant Feral Pigs

[hexed moth]

i still dont think tigers will be huntable

[vale grotto]

Its either tigers or Leopards

[vivid cosmos]

So an Australia situation?

[stark storm]

Man whatever community manager is watching the chat probably gets the biggest grin on their face whenever people wonder what the big cat is

[scarlet bluff]

i don’t think feral pig would be a better candidate than boar though tbh. i think that they would have just stayed base game and went with boar over pig

[hexed moth]

what happens in australia?

boar is in Herch right?

[stark storm]

Yea

I was kinda hoping it would be boar but I’m intrigued whatever it is

[scarlet bluff]

it won’t be boar this time around just because it’s base game though

[stark storm]

Hopefully something I’ll have half the heart to grind

[midnight moon]

cough cough Hogzilla cough cough

[hexed moth]

is the new GO confirmed to be in the base map?

[tepid nexus]

My friend got that guy

[hexed moth]

maybe moose

[stark storm]

We have moose already

[scarlet bluff]

it’s confirmed to be non base game

[hexed moth]

ah

[stark storm]

I feel like it’ll be something more like the bear considering we’ve had two antlered GO’s in a row

[scarlet bluff]

so it won’t be on hirsch or layton

[midnight moon]

I’m thinking the great one is gonna be the new predator

[stark storm]

Would also lighten the load so they can make the map

[molten pond]

what if instead of tigers or leopards, the roar came from a very very angry cappercallie

[stark storm]

A mocking bird imitating a big cat

[hexed moth]

maybe it's a wolf

grey wolves get lighter as they age

[stark storm]

Wolf could be on the map but no way that growl is canine

[hexed moth]

so a wolf that was black at 2 years old can turns almost white by 8

i think it's a tiger just not a huntable one

maybe an environmental threat

[stark storm]

I would love to see their take on a wolf with their latest texturing work

[hexed moth]

both of these were likely black at one point

so they get this cool black undercoat

genetically theyre black

(the first one is edited lol)

[stark storm]

I would totally grind a wolf GO

[midnight moon]

Me too

[hexed moth]

it can look pretty cool

add some scars

[midnight moon]

I want a wolf rework eventually

[hexed moth]

hunting wolves gives me anxiety

i always get ambushed

[midnight moon]

That’s why you keep that thang on ya

The 10mm

[vivid cosmos]

It’s a well known fact that Jaxy checks the chat and laughs about the theories we come up with

[midnight moon]

Rn though I’m using the .45 rolleston frontier

[scarlet bluff]

give us a GO wolf with a radio collar

[hexed moth]

can you shoot wolves with those?

[scarlet bluff]

yes

[hexed moth]

that's kinda rude

although it helps the researcher understand distribution

[scarlet bluff]

all it is a tracking device to monitor the packs better i believe

[hexed moth]

ok, new theory

[midnight moon]

Yeah I wouldn’t shoot one with a radio collar

Research is important to preserving species

[wind ridge]

oh god no, hunting an animal with a radio collar completely ruins an entire research routine

[hexed moth]

if the wolf was tagged in a reservation with no hunting and then it left and entered a hunting zone though it still gives information

[midnight moon]

Yeah but no

[hexed moth]

idk i play wolfquest

[midnight moon]

I’d still not do it based on moral principles

[midnight moon]

We all did at a young age

We all did

[hexed moth]

i still do

💅

[midnight moon]

Slay

[hexed moth]

well not rn since my pc is dying

kangaroo great one

and it's just a kangaroo in a red hoodie

[midnight moon]

Jackie legs

You know that movie was supposed to be rated R

But the company decided to change it to a kids audience

[hexed moth]

i saw it as a kid and didnt understand a thing

behold, feral hog great one

[midnight moon]

Me after one too many jalapeño deer poppers

[final wigeon]

What if they add dhole for a potential species?

[hexed moth]

id be down for it

[unreal haven]

Was a tigers roar

[vivid cosmos]

Doesn’t mean the new GO is a tiger, just means we will get tigers

[unreal haven]

I’m not saying it will be just saying it’s a tigers roar leopards sound slightly different

[vivid cosmos]

Oh, since you tagged my comment I thought you were talking about the same thing

[unreal haven]

I personaly would love it to be a g1 tiger

[vivid cosmos]

Would be the rawest thing ever on COTW

That and animal interactions… @theDevsofTheGame

[unreal haven]

Personaly I hope we get both bengal tigers and snow leopards

[vivid cosmos]

The leopards are even more endangered than bengal Tigers

[unreal haven]

Its a game so does it really matter if there endangered we allready have endangered animals in game pluss not like it a real animal

[vivid cosmos]

Nope, I lie, that is not a true statement

[minor shadow]

OK I’m just gonna say this if we do get Bengal tigers which at this point is an Extremely high possibility I have an idea for the Perfect MultiMount!

[vivid cosmos]

Maybe we only get some in a sanctuary or maybe we can’t really hunt them like in other games

[unreal haven]

U can hunt them in far cry 4

[scarlet bluff]

you can hunt anything in farcry?

it’s not a hunting game though

it’s a shooter type game

[unreal haven]

Never said it was a hunting game

[unreal haven]

All games with guns are a shooter game

[scarlet bluff]

i’m making a point that they wouldn’t care whether or not something could be shot or not as far as an animal goes

[scarlet bluff]

i would not say so

i guess technically yes

[vivid cosmos]

It’s illegal to hunt tigers worldwide

[scarlet bluff]

but i think of shooter games as stuff like cod and battlefield

games of that type

[unreal haven]

That’s irl not like we’re hunting them irl it’s just pixels

[vivid cosmos]

EW policies haven’t changed by those facts

[unreal haven]

One thing I don’t get is y people are ok with killing people in video games yet there triggered by killing animals in games like

[scarlet bluff]

probably because one in endangered?

if i had to guess

[unreal haven]

If they didn’t want endangered animals in cotw they wouldn’t have any endangered animals already in game

[unreal haven]

I’m on about all animals in games not just endangered

[scarlet bluff]

i think that EW is starting to branch out from it and started adding endangered animals but under certain circumstances

[uneven bloom]

The only animal officially listed as endangered in the game is the banteng, which is an invasive species in Australia.

[scarlet bluff]

they’re finding work arounds to add said species

[uneven bloom]

Lions and Iberian wolves are vulnerable, and European bison are near-threatened

[vivid cosmos]

I’d love to hunt tigers in CoTW but the game creators don’t like to add endangered animals, maybe they add a different type of cat and the GO is literally the tiger after you kill enough of that other animal a Tiger appears somewhere and doesn’t go away from your map, kind of like the Moka Moose

[vivid cosmos]

Around 3500 in the whole world tho?

[unreal haven]

2200-2700 Iberian wolves actually

If that’s wat ur referring to with 3500

[lone forge]

They literally said that they became more open to endangered and experimental animas

[hexed moth]

it still isnt something that should be glorified in media, especially since the main reason theyre endangered is because of over hunting

adding tigers as a huntable is in bad taste

[lone forge]

Ah yes after shooting a tiger in Cotw I will go to Nepal and shoot a tiger

[vivid cosmos]

I was talking about tigers but I didn’t know about the wolves

In light of the facts I learned now, i hope we get tigers then

[scarlet bluff]

nepal has a higher concentration of tigers though so i think if they were to be added they could get away with it

the easiest work around to adding tigers would be just to say that they’re overpopulated on the reserve

[wind ridge]

just 350 tigers in Nepal

[vivid cosmos]

But I hope it’s not like a Puma situation I hope we get less tigers than lions in vurhonga

[hexed moth]

adding tigers to a realistic hunting game like cotw normalizes it, hunting tigers or any endangered species should be viewed as a taboo

[scarlet bluff]

which is a lot higher than most if i remember right?

[unreal haven]

Cotw isn’t realistic

[tepid nexus]

lies

[scarlet bluff]

or at least high enough for them to consider allowing people to hunt them under more circumstances than them just killing a person

[tepid nexus]

its has some realism

[hexed moth]

if they tie it into the story and it's like one tiger thats fine

but people grinding them to get variants just seems wrong

[scarlet bluff]

cotw can be made more or less into whatever type of hunting game you want it to be which is the great thing about it

[hexed moth]

sometimes i use it as a hiking simulator

[unreal haven]

Cotw is more arcade than a simulator

[wind ridge]

yes, but they use real game species and real huntings seasons/law for desing animals and reserves

[unreal haven]

Except the imersion is broke by not having actual brands names fire the guns

The guns in cotw feel weak

[vivid cosmos]

That’s a very American point of view

[unreal haven]

I’m not American please never say that to me again

[plain yoke]

not having brand names doesnt break immersion

[wind ridge]

Take Parque Fernando as an example, there are no native species in it (Except Puma, and Migratory duck), it is because federal regulations only allow hunting introduced species within a Hunting Reserve (Coto de Caza)

[plain yoke]

The guns and ammo not have realist ballistics breaks Immersion

[unreal haven]

For u for me it does break it

[vivid cosmos]

I said your point of view is, but noted

[vivid cosmos]

Guy can’t play Skyrim

[unreal haven]

I never played Skyrim before doesnt interest me

[vivid cosmos]

Figures, or any game that doesn’t have brands

[tepid nexus]

lets settle down before we start fighting

bc i know the outcome of that

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah fair

Bye

[lone forge]

Bar heads are super cool

[unreal haven]

The guns definitely need to be more powerfull in cotw cos they feel weak

[tepid nexus]

what is that from?

[plain yoke]

look kind of like bean

[scarlet bluff]

considering there’s plenty of species that drop to double lung of most guns for their class i wouldn’t say so

there are some weak guns though

[weak smelt]

New map is gettting revealed next week

[scarlet bluff]

the 270 and 6.5 are probably among the weakest for their class

[unreal haven]

Like a moose will not tank a 300 win mag or 338 win mag irl if u double lung it but in cotw they run for a while

[stiff hornet]

Have you hunted moose? They could tank an Anti-Tank rifle. They’re giant.

[plain yoke]

yeah thats kind of threw me when I frist played COTW and I disacovered the in game .270 didnt take down deer like my RL .270 ...

[unreal haven]

Yes I have granted it’s mainly was with a 338 lapua magnum

[wind ridge]

Hey, what do you think the drinking areas will be like on the map?
Do you think we only have mountain melt streams?

[stiff hornet]

I’d bet we’ll have lakes too.

[scarlet bluff]

hopefully not brushy ones

[stiff hornet]

They’ll tank some huge round man. Most of the time they take 2 or 3 rounds to take down,

[blazing turtle]

Funny, my grandpa hunted moose with a 20 Gauge firing slugs

Mind you he was a very skilled marksman and often aimed below the ear on a moose

[plain yoke]

A slug in the head .... Yeah that'll do it ...

[blazing turtle]

Brain shot to be more accurate

[hexed moth]

i think im gonna reset my save

[plain yoke]

still with a 20 Gauge he would have to get close ....

[blazing turtle]

I was told his shotgun had rifling in the barrel
And shotguns do come with that option

[stiff hornet]

Brain shots will kill just about anything though. Thats a pretty good strategy to quickly take down moose. I used that when grinding them in game.

[plain yoke]

hmmm .... rifled 20ga ..... that would be interesting

[stiff hornet]

I don’t have the balls to hunt moose with a shotgun or a bow. There’s no way I’m comfortable getting that close. I’ve been charged by a good few moose when hunting and hiking, and they’re nothing to trifle with.

[plain yoke]

you could only fire slugs then ... buck shot would mess up the rifling

I wouldnt hunt them from the ground period .... tree stand only ....

[blazing turtle]

There are also rifled slugs you can fire out of a smoothbore barrel

[stiff hornet]

Here in the western US we really don’t have much choice. Moose tend to be in swampy or sagebrush country, so barely any suitable trees.

[blazing turtle]

Ah, the Moose in Canada inhabit everything from muskeg & swamp to forest to farmland to mountains & tundra

Depends on where in Canada you are

[vale grotto]

The poll that was sent out earlier today, could we be seeing a hunt club pack for cosmetics before the update to give us more clues abt the map?

[stiff hornet]

I’ve seen Moose in fields here, but they’re never too far from some sort of water. The ones in the sagey lands tend to stay in the higher up areas where there’s creeks and some ponds to chill in.

So with those Muntjac, do we think they’re gonna max at level 3 or level 5?

[scarlet bluff]

maybe they’re working on a cosmetic pack for sundarpatan

i can’t imagine they take super long to make but idk

[plain yoke]

Theyll go to 5 probably like hog deer

[vale grotto]

Yer, maybe or its a hint to something we will get next week.

[limber cliff]

ten

[vale grotto]

Thing is due to its size it could be a 3.

[limber cliff]

Inb4 4 horned monstrosity as a GO

[stiff hornet]

Next G1 confirmed

[vale grotto]

Was abt to say, do you know something we don't.

[limber cliff]

haha imagine the freak of nature it would be

[limber cliff]

wish tf I did 😭

[vale grotto]

Lol

[stiff hornet]

It’s a good thing I don’t know anything. There’s no way I’d be able to keep it a secret 😭

I’d be waaaay too hyped.

[scarlet bluff]

GO blackbuck?

[stiff hornet]

G1 Pronghorn ideas? All of these are ancestors of the modern day pronghorn.

[limber cliff]

That first one really fightin with oryx for pointyboi award

[hexed moth]

i really like hunting pronghorn

[stiff hornet]

Non-Typical pronghorn?

[hexed moth]

so a g1 i wouldnt mind at all

[stiff hornet]

Tetrameryx. One of my favorite prehistoric animals.

[plain yoke]

Heres my guess ... GO Giant Roo ...

[limber cliff]

he look lumpy

[fading gorge]

Glad my work roos dont look like that

[hexed moth]

what about a lion with a black mane

[stiff hornet]

Dark Brown lions. Already have them in game.

[hexed moth]

extra fluffy

or a maned lioness

[limber cliff]

Naww naw, darker than that crusty brown mane

[grand cipher]

Absolute tank of antelope if it was a G1 love it

[hexed moth]

female GO

[stiff hornet]

The only reason I’d want a lion g1 is so that they can get the remodel that they absolutely need.

Honestly I’m having fun speculating what the next g1 is going to be. We know that it’s likely a species we won’t expect, so who knows what it could be.

[grand cipher]

It’ll be a curve ball like the new map if it doesn’t overlap with the new map

[acoustic plank]

Kinda looks like it will be more jungly than mountainous or a map

[hexed moth]

rabbit 🤞

[limber cliff]

It's cos they're basically 75 years old

[stiff hornet]

If the next G1 is a Sambar deer it could be based on any of these. They’re all close relatives of the Genus Rusa, of which Sambar are a part of. (*IGNORE THE BOTTOM ONE)

[limber cliff]

I'm naming it now, Center one is Mitre Rack

[stiff hornet]

Perfect 🤣

[limber cliff]

Or rather

whats the hat called

holup lemme google
