Honestly I think it would be cool if the G1s were based more on their prehistoric counterparts.

[limber cliff]

[stiff hornet]

It does bear a striking resemblance

Speaking of bears, some g1 brown bear/grizzly ideas? Based on Arctodus species (Arctodus simus) and Arctotherium species (A. bonariense, & A. tarijense)

[scarlet bluff]

we need a trumane system for lions

[limpid dock]

You tell me how that would work

i see no way of implementing that

[upbeat glacier]

YES the Acrctotherium is my favorite extinct animal (Besides the mamoth and Beezlebufo)

[scarlet bluff]

literally no different than truracs lmao

different mane lengths and colors

obviously different manes that fit each level

would mostly be a random color/size thing

[gentle shale]

First they need to fix the fur rendering

Reason tahr was never addded

[limpid dock]

I would like the manes to be improved and redone first

[scarlet bluff]

that too

but i would imagine that would come if they did a trumane sytstem

[upbeat glacier]

you know i think i would rather have a bison greatone based on bison antiquus or Bison latifrons

[stiff hornet]

G1 Plains Bison ideas? (Species from left to right: Bison antiquus, Bison latifrons (top right), Bison priscus (bottom right)

[stiff hornet]

You read my freaking mind I was just making those.

[scarlet bluff]

i'd grind it i guess

wouldn't be my first choice

[upbeat glacier]

yooo great minds think alike

[stiff hornet]

I’d take those over lions or coyotes any day

[upbeat glacier]

agreed

[stiff hornet]

Although I think Bison priscus would be pretty boring since its horn size wasn’t much bigger than modern Plains Bison, but it was a lot beefier.

[upbeat glacier]

true you could substitute it with some fur types i am not sure what color fur they hade but since they are so closely related they would look the same but they could just do what they did with whitetail G1s

[stiff hornet]

Yeah, but I think something like piebald bison or some crème colored bison would be cool.

[lethal hound]

Grizzlies look so wrong in the face in COTW.

[stiff hornet]

Their faces are pretty blocky.

It’s probably just because their models are going on 5 years old, so they’re part of the old model group that hasn’t aged well.

[meager crater]

That’s the reason to this day I don’t have a grizzly in my lodge, really wish they would fix them

[stiff hornet]

I have 2 grizzlies in my lodge, but I think that with a remodel they could look absolutely stunning. We saw how good they did with the Axis Deer and Feral Goat remodels, so a Grizzly would look awesome.

[scarlet bluff]

they just look more like kodiaks rn

[upbeat glacier]

I get so mad reading recently extinct species and it brought me to the Bison drives in the western US it gets me so mad is that there are so many idiotic poachers it annoys me to my core i am all in support of hunting but sustainably I just don't get the drive of sport poachers its like a active defiance of the natural order. any way sorry that wall of text

[stiff hornet]

I’ve seen a good few bison jumps out here on the Snake River plain. This entire area was covered in bison thousands of years ago, but they’re all gone now. Sad, but I’m only 6 hours from the largest wild herd in the US.

[upbeat glacier]

I live in a state where all our larger species where driven to near extinction or extinction by deforestation and over hunting like I've heard older people talking about there grandparents seeing these species and it makes me sad.

[stiff hornet]

A lot of ours are low in population. Grizzlies, Wolves (sorta), the occasional Bison in eastern Idaho. The Mulie population is declining too, mostly due to bad winters and bluetongue.

[upbeat glacier]

that is sad what is bluetongue btw?

[scarlet bluff]

wasn't like 90% of the wolf population in idaho killed or was that a different state?

[stiff hornet]

That was the original plan, but I don’t think that’s gonna end up happening. It’s been 3 years since the bill was passed and we’ve only taken about 400 wolves. I bought a tag this year since they’re cheap but I’m not expecting to get anything.

[scarlet bluff]

what exactly was the population there anyway?

unless prey animals were struggling i feel like 90% is very excessive

[red violet]

Just hopping in here and say we probably getting a Nepal map :D Y'all can continue now flies away

[uneven bloom]

You might be thinking of the Wisconsin wolf hunt

that was a disaster

[stiff hornet]

1500 or so. They were pretty clumped up in the Sawtooths and Selkirks. They want the wolves to disperse. It was making the elk and deer extra stressed.

[uneven bloom]

people were actually encouraging each other to not report kills, and the quota was exceeded within 2-3 days

[stiff hornet]

Oh yes, that was a huge mess. Lotta wolf hate out there in the Great Lakes.

[scarlet bluff]

never understood it tbh

i get the whole predator management thing

but plenty of people want to just wipe out the species

[uneven bloom]

Because wolves are supposedly "evil"

there's a ton of entrenched beliefs about them from the middle ages

[carmine mason]

Isn’t that the same as cats before the plague

[stiff hornet]

I’m a lifelong elk hunter, but I understand that 1. Wolves were here before me. They deserve be here and 2. Wolves are absolutely necessary for the continuation of Elk and Deer populations.

[scarlet bluff]

i feel like it's more so that people can't stand competition for elk and other hunted game

[uneven bloom]

also the whole "but wolves will kill all of our livestock for sport!!!" thing ranchers have going

No, wolves do not kill for sport. If they go after livestock, it's because there's very little other food around

[stiff hornet]

Some people need to learn that finding 50 elk on the side of the road and shooting one isn’t hunting, it’s just killing an animal.

[scarlet bluff]

that too

[stiff hornet]

Yeah, that really pisses me off. Thats something I’d fight someone for saying.

[scarlet bluff]

my suggestion for that has always been a very large pack of lgd

[uneven bloom]

lgd?

[scarlet bluff]

livestock gaurdian dogs

[uneven bloom]

Ah

[scarlet bluff]

would really need to get the right mix of them though to go against grey wolves

[stiff hornet]

The problem with Livestock Guardian Dogs, is that Wolves aren’t scared of them. Wolves aren’t really scared of anything that isn’t a Grizzly or another wolf pack.

Even an Anatolian Shepherd dog couldn’t fight off a wolf pack.

[scarlet bluff]

no dog could win a fight against any of the wolves we have in north america

[upbeat glacier]

well if nature will not let a cow farm take root its not meant to be

[scarlet bluff]

but my thoughts are if they had a big enough group of dogs that it could be a good deturrent more so than anything

[minor shadow]

Here are some G1 Bengal Tiger Ideas
(Species on the Top) “The Ngandong Tiger”
(Bottom Left) “Longdan Tiger”
(Bottom Right) “Smilodon” Yeah, I know the last guy isn’t technically related to modern day Cats but the idea is that the G1 Tiger would have large, saberlike teeth

[stiff hornet]

I think we need proper wolf management, not a full eradication of wolves. Wolves deserve to be in the wild, where they can hunt elk and deer, and not have to deal with selfish hunters that think they own the elk. They don’t. You’re not on your own terf. You’re on the wolves terf now. They own the mountains.

[scarlet bluff]

^

thankfully i don't live in a state where i have to deal with anything like that

don't have any predator bigger than coyote around here

[upbeat glacier]

We probably should have had this conversation in general

[carmine mason]

I live in a state that used to have wolves and mountain lions but the wolves are extinct and mountain lions are super rare to come across ( it’s Florida if you don’t know )

[scarlet bluff]

well it's done now

[upbeat glacier]

Yeah true it’s ironic that’s why I brought it up

[limber cliff]

That head dent 😭

[scarlet bluff]

must have been dropped on his head as a cub lol

[stiff hornet]

Dude wore his headset too much

[limber cliff]

Noooo

[acoustic plank]

Unfortunately they were eradicated in Ireland we once had the largest wolf population in Europe

[lethal hound]

Late response but agreed. They aren’t the worst but definitely need an update soon. If they were to get a G1, I’m sure they would update the model along with it like they did for fallow. They look a bit derpy at times!

[stiff hornet]

Yeah, a lot of Europes wolves were eradicated. They’re definitely making a comeback, but it’ll be a long process until they’re back to their max possible healthy population.

[limber cliff]

There's like one in the region here, the farmers hate it and asked the farmers to take him out
The hunters in turn have said no - because its been so long since one has lived here.

It's not like the farmers couldn't go to the gov't for reparations if they DID lose a sheep here or there

[midnight moon]

My nan had wolves in her town

[warm nexus]

Up here in MN, they brag about shooting them illegally, snowmobiling across the border to Canada, and selling them.

[limber cliff]

I hate that so much

[warm nexus]

As a wolf lover, I think we should get the airforce involved and just shoot them when they cross the border.

They are always the WORST people too.

I mean, I'm not exactly a great person myself, LOL.

[stiff hornet]

I love wolves, even though I do hunt for them. Ive killed 3 wolves in my life, and all of them were in the name of keeping the population healthy. I always had tags and always used the hide, skull, even some of the bones. People bragging about killing wolves illegally makes me so angry as someone who is openly anti-poacher. “Shoot and shovel” some of them say. Pisses me off.

[plain vigil]

do you guys think there are going to be elephants

[bleak stump]

i cant wait till the new map

[vale grotto]

Not this update i don't think as the game will need a whole redoing as we have no lodges for them and the level system will need to be redone

[languid wedge]

You mean class system

[midnight moon]

Class 10 would need a panzerfaust to kill

[vale grotto]

Yer, 🤦

[plain vigil]

they could make it that great ones are 11 and then elephant 10 it would be easier like 1-10 easy to hard

[amber kiln]

That’s how people are here with red shouldered hawks 😢

[stiff hornet]

People were like that here with Peregrine Falcons until the state stated dishing out life sentences for people that shot them.

[languid wedge]

Class 10 338 (because base game) 470 and what ever big calibers we get later on (375+)

[midnight moon]

Mortar

[plain vigil]

so animals releveld as what weapon

[languid wedge]

The animal level system is perfect I don't see anything being changed for that

[stiff leaf]

Wonder what kind of bunny this is

[languid wedge]

Got tiny ears

[vale grotto]

I don't think its a rabbit tho, it looks like the end of the grass verge

[languid wedge]

Almost like cotton tails or mountain hare

[plain vigil]

its the elevation of the hill

[languid wedge]

Neck do look a tad weird

[vale grotto]

Because you can see the ending just infront of the photo location

[plain vigil]

i wonder what the thing at the left site is

at the road

[languid wedge]

The farm areas?

[midnight moon]

Do they grow rice in nepal

[vale grotto]

I think where the person is standing is the same as the other side

[quick grail]

yea looks like tiered farms n stuff

[plain vigil]

left middle at the road

i can circel it in for u if you want

[warm nexus]

I don't hunt; I prefer watching animals alive. That said, I'm not anti-hunting; it needs to happen because we've disrupted the balance, and I especially respect people who actually use the animal. I'm very anti-poaching.

[quick grail]

im the same as you Hosch, I don't think I could take an animals life but I respect good hunters who do things ethically n all :)

[open crag]

Rice terraces look awesome, great spots to hunt pheasants IRL.

[vale grotto]

So maybe pheasants could be on this map

[open crag]

Bottom left looks like a hare to me. The Indian hare would make most sense.

also known as the black-naped hare

[open crag]

Nepal has literal dozens of gamebird species, it could be anything from various pheasant species to peafowl and junglefowl or even an alpine bird species such as chukar or snowcock.

[signal drift]

perfect opportunity to add a new pheasant species, i don’t see how they pass it

[wind ridge]

just dirt

[vale grotto]

Yer.

[vale grotto]

Yer.

[open crag]

#1194806575567745084 message

moosedragon made a good list.

[vale grotto]

How did you get that photo as its more zoomed in on the yt

[signal drift]

i like this but i’d really like more sheep and a mountain side of the map, kinda like SRP or te

[heady ginkgo]

That peak in SRP just about made me go mental trying to get to the top. ...unless there was an easy way up

[open crag]

Same here, I'm a little worried they haven't shown any actual alpine habitat yet. hopefully in the future.

[wind ridge]

I don't know, someone posted it before
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/818877458140627044/1243560343834333246/GOWSGGhWoAEGrKm.png?ex=6651eb52&is=665099d2&hm=114e662e55b22483abe9e42d3a5691625d22f0a5594c67dc2fb5b9e59747d82e&

[vale grotto]

Ah okay.

[signal drift]

i’d imagine they’d actually put paths to make it easier, wonders what a few extra years of development does lmao

i really need marco polo sheep/blue sheep

[heady ginkgo]

Canadian Rockies perhaps...

[stiff leaf]

Ah ok makes sense

[open crag]

Would be pretty cool, I'd love a map like that. I was a little disappointed we didn't get mountain hunting on Yukon or Te Awaroa.

[stiff hornet]

Alaska without mountain hunting isn’t Alaska…

[open crag]

Exactly, mountain goats and dall sheep would have been my favourite species on the map.

I'm not expecting Mt Everest, there is very little life at such altitudes anyway. Something like this image would be great for tahr and blue sheep though.

[languid wedge]

Hunting that with 400m render would be hell

[open crag]

True, wish they could bump it up for this map.

[long spade]

Would love to see an area like Kumaon

[stiff hornet]

Maybe have Everest or K2 in the background, but not something that we can actually reach. I would like a few tall, climbable mountains, though, like Te Awaroa or SRP has.

[long spade]

looks like the rockies with a more tropicsl undergrowth

[wind ridge]

It seems that we will have all the mountains covered in forest xD

[long spade]

It'll probably feel like the NW portion of emerald coast

thick vegetation, old growth, with a few meadows

[wind ridge]

This is what the north of the map should look like if it were Dhorpatan

[long spade]

hmm

.275 rigby (7x57mm Mauser) was a super popular hunting cartridge in india's late colonial period, maybe we'll see one here

[open crag]

Isonzo is a FPS set in WW1 rather than a hunting game but the climbing mechanics they had on their Ascent map were really fun. Would be really cool to see it in CotW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYpI6wixcfc

[dusky wolf]

I hope we get another back fill when sundarpatan gets added

Like woodgrouse on hirschfelden

[long spade]

For reference, jim corbett used a .275 to hunt maneater tigers in the late 20's and early 30's

[heady ginkgo]

Doesn't backfilling mean removal of some animals to make room. Maps have a finite amount of space, right?

[dusky wolf]

Hirsch is a pretty big map

[heady ginkgo]

You want more on Hirsch?

[long spade]

yeah, but ffs pheasants are hard to hunt there so no major loss

[heady ginkgo]

Fair enough. Have never hunted pheasant.

[dusky wolf]

I’d die to see what a G1 Capercaillie would look like, also would feel nice given they had woodgrouse on Hirsch in classic but not in COTW

[dusky wolf]

I wish the pheasants would actually make noise when they take off 💀

[open crag]

They don't have to remove animals from the map but the populations generally become smaller to accommodate the new animals. They also have to adjust every species need zones to fit the new animals in which is quite difficulty and time consuming according to the devs, which is why they don't do it that often.

[dusky wolf]

Irl they sound like jets when taking off

I swear if sundarpatan is another map with red deer I’m gonna lose it….we have like 5 or 6 red deer maps 💀

[long spade]

How you liking them cicadas?

[dusky wolf]

Do we know where sundarpatan is located? Cus first thing that came to mind was India but I’m pretty sure hunting is illegal there

[heady ginkgo]

Nepal

[wind ridge]

Nepal

[dusky wolf]

That’s in India

[heady ginkgo]

No

[dusky wolf]

NVM IM AN IDIOT

[open crag]

Tibetan red deer are a thing but I doubt we'll see them. loads of other deer species are available though mostly deer we've seen on other maps i.e. chital, sambar, hog deer etc.

[long spade]

our new GO might be a brown bear, it would be a dlc animal and its on multiple maps now so? maybe?

[languid wedge]

They ain't really started anything yet or it's just normal

[wind ridge]

This wil be a possible animal 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

[summer pasture]

Has anyone considered a new species of bird in the trailer?

After the roar there's geese

[vale grotto]

Its Bar head geese.

Due to the white heads.

[stray basalt]

Geography lesson!

[frail tendon]

China map

[dusky wolf]

We don’t have a base game map with brown bear on it atm so I doubt it’ll get to e great one since I remember them saying that great ones are going to be reserved for species on the base game maps to prevent people missing out if they can’t get the DLC maps for some reason or another

[vale grotto]

We aren't getting a G1 on the base game maps this time

[long spade]

jaxy confirmed the new one wasn't base game

[stray basalt]

Chinese government doesn’t like when people have guns, definitely not happening, not much mid size game either.

[heady ginkgo]

Or they could encourage a spike in sales by putting the new g1 exclusively on a dlc map

[dusky wolf]

Let’s hope the conservationists won’t get pissed for having tigers in the game

[wind ridge]

I'm starting to believe that the next GO will be Hogzilla (Feral Pig)

[open crag]

I'm kinda hoping for a Great One sika personally.

[heady ginkgo]

I'd pay to see that

[wind ridge]

It is completely farmable and is in several DLC maps

[dusky wolf]

A wild boar rework would be nice ngl, they don’t look like real ones in game

[vale grotto]

Yes but they won't comee with a g1

[stiff hornet]

I hope we see Gaur on there too

[fierce turret]

most of the old animals need reworks

[dusky wolf]

Would be funny if the Great one is a bird

[long spade]

i was kinda thinking boar, but then he said it wasn't base game

[heady ginkgo]

Also the biggest let down ever hahaha

[dusky wolf]

I’d kill for another map with water buffalo and especially a water buffalo rework, infact the older bovines ingame need new animations cus they pretty old, and some texture updates aswell

[stray basalt]

Not lumping in wild boar with feral pigs and wild hogs would be a massive waste of potential (and resources).

[vale grotto]

I think it will be on the new map and some others tbh

[dusky wolf]

Turkeys?, they’re on a lot of maps including Layton

Idk

[gentle shale]

@wind ridge yes! Another pig believer

[long spade]

huge difference between a real euro wild boar and feral pigs, like that gristle plate in their shoulders

[dusky wolf]

I have yet to find a game that has accurate boar models

Same as wolves

[stray basalt]

Red dead has great boar models.

[stiff hornet]

Way of the Hunter has both. The wolves are some of their best models (although their faces are kinda round).

[long spade]

bethesda didn't even try with skyrim, its just a big warthog lol

[stray basalt]

Very few model changes Would be needed. It is a “Great one after all) and it is “just a game”. Might as well go wild for something I’ll never see with my own two eyes.

[crimson tiger]

is that game any good? been wanting to at least try it out but idk if I’d play it over cotw

[stiff hornet]

It’s really good, just slow paced.

[long spade]

yeah, stories are meh but its good

[stray basalt]

It’s incredible. Give it some time to get a few more maps and it will be a close to a 10/10.

[long spade]

fair, that red deer is straight out of english fables

[dusky wolf]

Idk how to describe it but COTW has a better feel imo, mainly cus the looking around is actually pretty smooth and slow as if someone was looking around, in WOTH it’s kinda robotic when looking around which I’m not a fan of

[stiff hornet]

The bear is straight out of a mountain man’s crazy stories

[long spade]

but the guns work like irl. . .

[crimson tiger]

gotcha, might drop the money on it then, remember it coming out everyone was pretty hyped about it

[stray basalt]

I do prefer the aiming in WOTH because of how smooth it is. It’s way too fast even set to 1 sensitivity in cotw.

[long spade]

catch a sale, or try it on gamepass first,

[gentle shale]

And the draw distance is Amazing

[frail tendon]

This game needs at minimum 600m render lol

[crimson tiger]

PS5, I’ve seen it on sale a bunch already I’m sure it is now lol

[stray basalt]

But on the other hand, the models are kinda… ugly and the animal selection is very weird.

[long spade]

btw, highly reccomend Matariki park dlc. terrain is amazing

[stray basalt]

Well it’s a 7 year old game… I’m not sure how you expected that from an older game.

[long spade]

why ya gotta call them out like that?

[stray basalt]

It is the truth, plenty of time to improve!

Like cotw has.

[heady ginkgo]

there would be so many more people crying about game crashes 😂

[long spade]

ngl, brown bear on trannsylvania got that goober face in a bad way. . .

[gentle shale]

https://youtu.be/U9zuga2-LTg?si=hOFlWShP7QlxHQ2Z

[long spade]

oh yeah, they got a new map comin soon too

don't think they've said anything yet tho

[hollow tundra]

nice profile picture lol

[long spade]

June 7-15th is my guess for release date

[gentle shale]

im guessing in 2 weeks june 4th

should be a tuesday

[stray basalt]

Took it myself😂😂😂

[hollow tundra]

lmao

[plain yoke]

So many systems and subsystems tied to the render distance .... It would probably take a major rework to increase render ... That is if the older engine can even handle it ... The new engine that Angler uses might be able to do it .... But they wont change engines till they get ready to do COTW 2.0

[hollow tundra]

Jaxy said its an engine thing and they cant add it sadly

it think

[round citrus]

fun fact white tigers are tigers with lucsium if we get tigers we should be albe to get a white one

[frail tendon]

Leucism*

[placid oasis]

I think for tigers we should get white, psuedomela and golden for the rares. If we get tigers

[stray basalt]

Needs maltese.

[placid oasis]

Are maltese real? I thought those were just edited photos/ myths

ofci dont mind a fake color but im just curious

[stray basalt]

Wait, no it’s called Erythrism, strawberry.

[hollow tundra]

what kind of duck is that

[stray basalt]

Falcated teal.

[hollow tundra]

cool, looked like a fancy mallard

[stray basalt]

They are really cool birds.

[hollow tundra]

birb

[lone forge]

Falcated Duck, a type of widgeon

[orchid linden]

Anyone think we could get a massive surprise and have both Tigers and Elephants on this new map?? Really hoping for a new 7-9 class rifle, too. .375 H&H or .416 Rigby.

[midnight moon]

Anything new about the map yet ?

[midnight moon]

Wow

What about species wise

[vale grotto]

Nohing.

[sweet depot]

Thought it was minecraft with shaders and mods for a sec xD

[vale grotto]

Lol

[midnight moon]

It does look like it on the right haha

[hollow tundra]

we only know about the Muntjac species from the teaser trailer but thats it

[midnight moon]

Yeah I saw that

[vale grotto]

And the Bar Head Geese

[midnight moon]

And Ive heard about tigers but idk yet

[vale grotto]

Not been confirmed as the roar could be a leopard

[midnight moon]

Yeah

Is there anything been mentioned about the new great one ?

[hollow tundra]

buuuuuuuuuuut we're not sure since they're 4 pixels each

[vale grotto]

Nope, apart from not on the base game maps

[midnight moon]

Ooh

[vale grotto]

Well yer but the white heads on all of them kinda give it away

[hollow tundra]

i couldnt see it

[hollow tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/glare-cant-see-blurred-vision-gif-15278830

[lone forge]

Bar heads?

[languid wedge]

[amber kiln]

Those appear to be the closest match of Indias geese species, I would love to see one of the two white fronted or red breasted geese in the reserve too

[past ridge]

We need banded waterfowl

[orchid linden]

Absolutely!

[past ridge]

Have you tried field hunting duck in game yet

[orchid linden]

Geese, not ducks.

[past ridge]

New England corn fields

[orchid linden]

Huh, I imagine those would be good for sure.

[scarlet bluff]

idk this image still confuses me lol

like some or at least one has a white head but others don't

[vale grotto]

2 do at least

[hollow tundra]

i think they're birds

[lone forge]

Back when revontuli cam out they had a clue with both tundra and graylag geese in one flock may be this is the dam case

[scarlet bluff]

that's a good thought lol

[vale grotto]

maybe

[lone forge]

Also graylags don't have such pale bellys

[scarlet bluff]

hmm

[hollow tundra]

lol

[scarlet bluff]

would taiga bean geese be a possibility?

[lone forge]

Nope

[scarlet bluff]

i've read they're in nepal

or at least migrate through

[lone forge]

The only geese in Nepal are bar heads and grays

The map is rather good for ducks then geese

That's all of them

You will have to go onto the picture too look thru

[scarlet bluff]

ooo

shelduck would be cool

[lone forge]

They really would

[scarlet bluff]

so would the pygmy goose tbh

[hollow tundra]

i hope this map has a decent number of birds, and as many big game as it can have

[lone forge]

Here's the same for upland birds

24 species are possible, I showed 23 they'res also woodcock

[hollow tundra]

chicken???

[stray basalt]

Yeah! This is where chickens are native!

[hollow tundra]

I wouldnt mind shooting a chicken tbh

yummy

[stray basalt]

They fly better than in domestic breeds too!

[hollow tundra]

thats cool, i wouldnt go as far to make them a ground able species but id hunt them

[stray basalt]

Definitely no grounded, something like Capercallie would be a great example to compare them to.

[hollow tundra]

yup i agree

🐓

[lone forge]

Junglefowl, they are our domestic chickens wild ancestor

[vale grotto]

More murder chickens

[lone forge]

If they add rhinos what rares would y'all wanna se?

[lone forge]

I think albino and diamond would be nice can't think of any others that would look good

[scarlet bluff]

idk

what rares have been documented in them

[stray basalt]

You mean Indian Rhino? I highly doubt they will be added.

[lone forge]

I Do doubt i too but I still would love seeing them you could make those class 9 but tank far range shots and only being able too be ethically killed at under 150 meters instead of the 2 shots rule

In the end this is not a hunting simulator but much more a chill hunting based game

[dry pivot]

I hope they would be in the new map but I highly doubt it

[lone forge]

You wouldn't blast a hundred whitetails at a lake would you

[stray basalt]

I don’t think they have many documented mutations, so probably not much more different than the individual displayed.

[lone forge]

Same

[stray basalt]

I don’t, most people don’t.

[lone forge]

Yeah I think albino would be the only rare.

Of they have low populations and no drink zones I don't see them as that bad

If you see those on every corner and can easily blast em away at a lake I think that would be bad

[limpid sinew]

I want rhino

[stray basalt]

Mid, I’d rather them use resources elsewhere.

[limpid sinew]

Like?

[stray basalt]

Tahr fur.

[dry pivot]

I’d like to see Indian elephants on the new map but I also think they will not be on the map

[lone forge]

Will see on Tuesday

[limpid sinew]

They could and prob did the rhino

[dry pivot]

Yes we will

[lone forge]

It's already two so I'll head to sleep 😴

[stray basalt]

They’ve had problems with it in the past.

[stray basalt]

Prob didn’t*

[lone forge]

Honestly I would prefere rhinos over winter coat tahr, they just can make summer coat and it would propably look better

[lone forge]

I think they probly didn't but I hope they did

[limpid sinew]

Cape Buffalos and Indian rhinos Are like the same height.

So we could fit it in the lodge but it'd be tight

[lone forge]

On the large plauges and platforms they would easily fit I have seen both irl and indian rhinos aren't much bigger then capes

[limpid sinew]

Same

[signal drift]

is that a road in the back or a body of water

only josh noticing it

wow josh green is actually taking over my life i mean just

[scarlet bluff]

def a road

[vale grotto]

Its a road

[signal drift]

ah okay

thought it could’ve been a small river or something

[warm nexus]

IMO, it would be cool if we only had a chance of having a species on a map. e.g. they could do tiger and leopard, but it randomly chooses which animal to add when you load the map, and if you reload the map, you might get the other one.

They wouldn't even need to recalculate spawns each time, it could just be a different population loaded.

[quasi holly]

thats true

cool as hell

[grim meteor]

I personally like populations being predictable, I’d rather not have to RNG game it like that

[finite wagon]

^

[grim meteor]

I’d be interested in seeing rhinos in game but idk what color morphs they have!

[quaint lintel]

Sundarpatan concept

[warm nexus]

Maybe an option where you pick a set of animals from a larger possible set?

I hope they have a tea plantation and a Buddhist/Hindu temple. Those temples are neat.

[scarlet bluff]

would work better in a game like classic tbh

i don't think a system like that would have any place in cotw at all

but it is a neat concept

[warm nexus]

Yeah.

[stark storm]

I know far cry 4 when I see it

[signal drift]

don’t they in a sense already have a model cause of the vurhonga missions

[stray basalt]

Isla Sorna map confirmed?!?!?! Release date official!!! 😮😮😮

[jovial spade]

😯

Spinos?

Paras?

T-REXS?

[stray basalt]

The variety that could be displayed on paras would be monumental. The Hunter Primal 2 PLEASE🙏🙏🙏

[amber kiln]

That’s what I was gonna say 😆

[gentle shale]

what you talking about?

[grim meteor]

I haven’t gotten to the missions yet unfortunately! If it was the savanna ones though, I imagine they’d still need a new model for the specific species in Nepal (as I presume the savanna ones where the African rhino, which are a good bit different then the ones that would be in Nepal), on top of probs being older and not as set up for the type of stuff we see with actual huntable animals. So they’d probs still need a new model, but I’d still like to see them

[signal drift]

iirc it wasn’t even a complete model but it’s been so long since i’ve seen it, just thought they’d be able to at least use it as a base

while i don’t think it’s gonna happen rhinos would be unreal

[grim meteor]

Yeah I get it! And yeah they do feel like they’d be more so dream material with how the game is right now, but hey, I can dream LOL

[scarlet bluff]

i think there will be more big species than that on the map

in a past stream jaxy said that there will be a few big species

[wet bough]

Tbh idrc what's on there, long as there's Marco polo sheep

Unfortunately I don't know if that's likely

The one thing I've wanted in this game since release

[scarlet bluff]

i just want himalayan wolves

gaur would be nice too

as would barasingha i guess

[wet bough]

Barasingha are so cool

Returning species list could be absolutely amazing

[scarlet bluff]

honestly

i hope the returning species list is very very minimal

[midnight moon]

What's sundarpatan?

[scarlet bluff]

the new map

[midnight moon]

Nice

[wet bough]

Yeah obviously, but you know that's not very likely knowing EE

EW

[scarlet bluff]

that’s true

[languid wedge]

Nem list

[wet bough]

Then again, they've had a year to contemplate

[scarlet bluff]

i just hope that since they took a year to put in quality that it’s more new species than returning

[wet bough]

If hope for at least sambar and blackbuck

[scarlet bluff]

i still don’t know what they were thinking with nem tbh

[wet bough]

And ffs please for the love of God no more nighttime drink zones

[scarlet bluff]

like it’s a good map for a lot of the small game

[wet bough]

NE is the spawn of satan

They took everything we hate about maps

Put it together

[scarlet bluff]

i hope we get good home ranges on the new map

[wet bough]

And added no new species

[scarlet bluff]

well technically they added two new species

but also not really

[wet bough]

Yeah seriously. Not every animal should be on every square inch of the map

Reskins are not new animals and my opinion will never change on thay

[languid wedge]

That will be one of the greatest questions in the world

[wet bough]

That's why I was so disappointed with ranch at first

[scarlet bluff]

at least rancho was a really good whitetail map at one point

[real flame]

NEM wasn’t that bad though?

like it’s a really pretty map

[scarlet bluff]

nem only has scenery and small game going for it

[wet bough]

I'd be fine with it if we got aus first

[scarlet bluff]

it was advertised as a grinders map but is no such thing

[languid wedge]

Home ranges and literally only one new species to the game plus an absolutely hellacious river system

The map is probably the most beautiful one in the game though

[real flame]

yeah I like beautiful maps lol

[wet bough]

But let's face it, how many people hunt small game every day nowadays?

The last time I hunted ducks or anything class 1 had to have been more than 8 months ago

[languid wedge]

If they would interpret it better instead of map fillers a lot of people would

[scarlet bluff]

honestly i would do it more frequently if i wasn’t stuck trying to get this last bear GO before the update

[acoustic sparrow]

Willing to try once I reach max level.

[languid wedge]

Birds are a really big thing in the game now days

[scarlet bluff]

it’s not wanting to cooperate at all

[wet bough]

To the point where a freaking retriever takes priority over a map? Something definitely isn't right there

We've yet to see if the year long wait was even worth it

[tribal sail]

Hey EW, I just want to let you know, I think you're doing a great job. I've really enjoyed all the updates and I'm grateful for all the work you guys do. Thanks for NEM, Revontuli, retrievers, reskins, and the abundance of positive work you put into this game. I'm glad to wait to see the changes you do make as it's just getting better all the time. It just takes time. So thank you for all you do. I'm sure you don't hear it enough.

[real flame]

the retriever is really good though

[acoustic sparrow]

My only gripe about Revontuli is that there’s nearly nothing nut them Effing birds.

Good map otherwise, just too many birb.

Not enough big game and predators.

That’s just me though.

[scarlet bluff]

i always wonder why the retrievers turned out to be such a dud for people tbh

it was something that was very frequently asked for after rev

i’d of thought and expected them to do really good tbh

[languid wedge]

I love it way more then the bloodhound

[scarlet bluff]

i always enjoy having mine with me

[tribal sail]

I use mine quite heavily

[wet bough]

2 years later though? I mean good grief spare us from the pain of NE and do that instead

[scarlet bluff]

it just sucks they break so frequently in multi

i think they should add some things that they could pick up though

like at least raccoon

if they can pick up a turkey then no reason they couldn’t a raccoon lol

[languid wedge]

Raccoon and gray fox it should be able to carry

[scarlet bluff]

maybe even reds

i known irl there are some breeds that have to pick up and retrieve fox to pass a test

[gentle shale]

a flush dog would have been more useful

for the upland burds ans smallgame

[scarlet bluff]

usually the versatiles though and not labs

[languid wedge]

I can't see how a flush dog would be useful

Unless it made the birds fly towards you

[scarlet bluff]

labs could have easily been a flushing dog too

i guess they kind of are in a way

they spook small game when they get too close

[languid wedge]

Yeah they do have a flush feature

[gentle shale]

then again like the same point being made all the time ; its a 7 year old game on a dated engine and the code is spaghetti

[scarlet bluff]

really need pointers though

[languid wedge]

Pointers with a upland bird rework

[scarlet bluff]

yep

[gentle shale]

pointers? the bloodhound yelps when you are uin critucal distance its really usefil

[languid wedge]

So does the lab

[gentle shale]

but it doenst track so bloodhound > lab

if the lab tracjed and received it would be a good fix

[languid wedge]

I can easily track anything trying to pick up 20 Bob White quill in a field full of corn is a nightmare the lab brings all to me and geese lol

[scarlet bluff]

well from a business stand point they can’t make the lab track

[gentle shale]

not as good tracking as bloodhound but jusst to balance it out

[scarlet bluff]

if they made the lab track then there would be no purpose in having a bloodhound

[languid wedge]

Unless you have to own both

[scarlet bluff]

same as if they add pointers they couldn’t make them retrieve birds

[scarlet bluff]

i guess they could do something like that too

[gentle shale]

its just a matter of trainging and adding skillpoints

[languid wedge]

Like let me buy all of them and make my lab into a super dog lmao

[gentle shale]

the look is cosmetic

[tribal sail]

And any dog they add would have the same result as were experiencing now. It'd cause another long delay on getting a new map. So what's the priority, a new map or a new dog?

[gentle shale]

engine upgrade

[scarlet bluff]

i feel like the dog really didn’t take priority over a new map though

[tribal sail]

Classic is still going on it's engine

[scarlet bluff]

i guess if they said it did then it did

[gentle shale]

yea but they made cotw though

[languid wedge]

I personally would take new small anything and big updates fixes possibly free small content over 2 maps a year

[scarlet bluff]

i think they maybe just used it as an excuse to take longer on the new map

[gentle shale]

of the team is smaller than it used to be

[scarlet bluff]

or maybe they got behind on sundarpatan because of EC

[gentle shale]

and ppl want lots of stuff but jaxy is always saying the same thing , engine , coding etc its not easy so at some point the team will need to make a decision

[scarlet bluff]

because i think they said maps are already being worked on like a year or so before they even come out

i feel like maybe they’ll be changing to a new engine in the near future maybe because of the survey today

[gentle shale]

link?

syrvey?

survey*

[scarlet bluff]

they were asking about peoples pc specs

[tribal sail]

I can see some validity to that, but if they did it that way someone else would complain. It seems people want to just jump on the bandwagon of negativity instead of seeing the positive side of things. Enjoy what we get, otherwise we might lose everything completely.

[languid wedge]

I see the fun thing is tahr was/is locked behind engine limitations so the fun thing is will we get tahr on there home map?

[scarlet bluff]

it’s in the game main menu

[scarlet bluff]

well possibly if they do summer coats like someone was talking about

[languid wedge]

[scarlet bluff]

i guess we’ll find out soon enough

i know we are suppose to be getting the map reveal this tuesday?

which would lead me to believe we’re also maybe getting a species list and GO reveal

or maybe they’d wait until the week after to do that

[languid wedge]

I doubt go reveal on map+species list

Day

[scarlet bluff]

i just feel like the map is maybe a bit closer to release than we think

just basing how they did things with EC

with EC we got a hint one week and then teaser trailer the next

the week after that we got species list and GO reveal

[languid wedge]

Maybe

[scarlet bluff]

but with sundarpatan the whole hint and then teaser thing happened in a matter of days from each other

but maybe that was because we didn’t get a stream the week before

[gentle shale]

they shoud just drop it , best releases are surprise releases

i know they ened hyp e, but the best hype is gamer feedback

imagine when ypu heard the growl ingame and you didnt know about it

i mean everyone now expects tigers but what if its compleetly something else

[uneven bloom]

I'm expecting a leopard more tbh

[gentle shale]

i can see the sweat on jaxy brow

[scarlet bluff]

i also can’t remember them showing us any photos of EC after the teaser like we got today for sundarpatan

[uneven bloom]

also, the reason why they don't leave anything for us to find out ourselves anymore is because the cheaters find and leak them first

[scarlet bluff]

as much as i’d like tiger i kind of want leopard more

i think maybe it’s just because people are so sure that it’s tiger and all we have to base it off of is a roar lol

[languid wedge]

I'm honestly to the point of both

[scarlet bluff]

i can’t decide what the roar sounds more like

[uneven bloom]

I can't either, mostly because stock sounds like using tiger roars for literally everything

[scarlet bluff]

i’ve listened to both big cats roar and it really sounds like it could be either or

i think people are so certain it’s tiger just because wishful thinking

[regal briar]

Wait are we getting a stream next week

[languid wedge]

Tuesday

[regal briar]

Oh nice

Im gonna be at the trip with my school so idk if im gonna have time to watch it

[scarlet bluff]

we should be getting the map reveal next week

[regal briar]

Ooooh i like that

[scarlet bluff]

at least according to this image that somebody shared earlier today

[regal briar]

Maybe its just the reveal of the mystery roar

[gentle shale]

roar is def tiger

but then again sounds often get mixed up

[regal briar]

I had to get my grandfather to hear it

He is sure its a tiger

[scarlet bluff]

this was under the post we got today of a screenshot from the map

[regal briar]

I know i saw the screenshot

[scarlet bluff]

i think it would be safe to say that it would be the map reveal instead

but could be wrong

[regal briar]

I would love it to be

The nature just looks so good

And i think its safe to say it will have decent amount of new animals

So when you combine those you get a perfect map

I really like the new England nature but no animals exclusive to that map

[midnight moon]

They have to put in blue sheep and tahr. The two star attractions of Dhorpatan

[meager osprey]

What do yall think of this species list concept

Class 1: Indian spot-billed duck, bar-headed goose, greylag goose, Himalayan snowcock

Class 3: Eurasian lynx, northern red muntjac, axis deer, hog deer, blackbuck

Class 4: blue sheep, Himalayan tahr

Class 5: Wild boar

Class 6: Barasingha (swamp deer)

Class 7: Nilgai

Class 9: Water buffalo or gaur, Bengal tiger

[quasi holly]

when do we predict this is dropping

and when do we think the GO is getting announced

[plain yoke]

That's why people don't like NEM ... No new Animals and difficult to grind ..... But for me the map itself is drop dead gorgeous and very huntable ... not grindable but for me a joy to hunt

[regal briar]

Yeah i like it because i dont usually grind, just old school walk and hunt

[dusky bridge]

Black bear himalayan tahr

[lone forge]

One upland game bird I'll protest of we get that low amount

[meager osprey]

Not bad idea

[meager osprey]

What other uplands do we have

Pheasants, partridges, sandgrouse

Yeah they should also include kalij pheasants and maybe some sort of partridge

[lone forge]

All upland birds of Nepal, that's 23 and you choose to include 1

[meager osprey]

Well dang

Gotta add a few of those

Ya don’t got to be rude about it though, I don’t know the next thing about nepals birds 🤷

[lone forge]

That's okay lol

[meager osprey]

You’re good

I’d definitely want to see chukars, kalij pheasant, francolins, peacocks

[night trench]

The blue quail would probably be the smallest animal in the game

But Himalayan monal would be cool

[normal urchin]

I think if it would be a tiger we would need more big game calibers like the 458 or the 375

[night trench]

Stubble quail weigh 130 grams and a blue quail 40 grams

[lone forge]

I would love blue qual ingame

Egg

[shrewd shell]

Now that's cute! Kill kill kill! 😂

[plain yoke]

Beautiful bird but hardly worth the trouble it takes to clean it ....

[real flame]

uplands are surprisingly fun lol

granted the shotgun scope really helps ngl

[lone forge]

I want to get some as pets now lol

[lone forge]

For quail I only hunt those with scopes

[midnight moon]

Needs leopard and sloth bear

[twilit grail]

I couldn't even spot those with my glasses lol

[acoustic plank]

And asiatic black bear

[narrow niche]

The Indian rhinoceros would also be really cool but i don´t think they are putting endangered species into the game

[lone forge]

Albino would look cool

[narrow niche]

or some skin types with stripes or spots

[jade wyvern]

That’s a totally different species

[finite sleet]

I think Indian rhino are a step less than endangered. They are labeled “Vulnerable”

Also I feel this is a big turning point for COTW, if they do a leopard then not much is changed. But if they do a tiger or a rhino, that means they are finally ready to not worry so much about hunting more threatened species. Which could really be the step to making the game that much better

[languid hill]

tigers

[narrow niche]

they will be on the map theres a roar in the trailer

[languid hill]

tigers are an endangered species

they are going to be added tho

[mighty dove]

EW has always been a big supporter of ethical hunting and adding endangered/vulnerable species to the game will not change that

And when they do we know they will do it with respect and class

[narrow niche]

I would also really like to see frogs in the game at some point

like the flying frog

[mighty dove]

To hunt?

[limber cliff]

Ultimately, if I would trust any company to do it in a respectable manner, it would be EW.

[mighty dove]

You telling me you wouldn’t trust Disney?

Nevermind we know what happened to Dumbo’s mother

[limber cliff]

So many people are just "Eh it's pixels who cares"

And I mean, I get that. They ARE (in this case) just pixels. This is the closest so many could come to hunting in general - much less lions or tigers or crocodiles - whatever the target.
But EW will do it justice - not just slap some animals on screen a-la NES Duck Hunter and say go for gold

[limber cliff]

Ma'am they let Bambi's mom be taken out unethically, Dumbo's mom became dog food, and I am sure there are other examples haha

[mighty dove]

I forgot about Bambi’s mom

Rip

[molten pond]

TheHunter COTW already has some species that are considered endangered or are pretty close. With Musk deer and lion being considered vulnerable while hog deer (if it's the indian hog deer) and water buffalo (if it's wild water buffalo) are considered endangered

[mighty dove]

That’s true

Although I think there are species that are more heavily judged than others

[molten pond]

I think the only reason people are bringing up the "EW won't add endangered animals" is because tigers are a charismatic species that gets mroe attention

[limber cliff]

Yes.
I think also the banteng in EC are only huntable because private land and non-native species?

[limber cliff]

This is also a valid thought

[unkempt oyster]

Does anyone know if red deer gets a pop reset in te awaroa when this new map comes

[narrow niche]

no not shooting them instead you´re catching them and putting them in a terrarium and having not only dead animals inside your lodge

[molten pond]

Let's also not forget that you can hunt a lot of endangered, critically endangered and extinct in the wild species on Texan game ranches

[limber cliff]

I tink pop resets only happen when there's an overhaul to the species and they need to adjust something

[native sparrow]

they don't have Isla Sorna or Isla Nublar in the COTW.

[novel galleon]

#🦌︴general Can somoene answer please?

[limber cliff]

is there a question?

[novel galleon]

It got answered its fine but thanks

[limber cliff]

Ah. I wasn't sure where I was looking, you linked the channel but not the question 😂

I was lost

[languid wedge]

Tis was if piggy was troll or what

[limber cliff]

I'm with it now 😭

[winter rain]

Anything new since they dropped the teaser?

[limber cliff]

Not yet
Hoping we get a sick update on Tuesday

[lone forge]

Yes a screenshot

[winter rain]

Oooooooo

TERRACED RICE PATTIES

I'm obsessed with terraced rice patties 😍

[limber cliff]

honestly thought these came same day 😂

[winter rain]

Can't wait to see how fleeing tiger AI handles that 😂

[lone forge]

Me too I love them

[novel galleon]

Yeah i was asking if i got a troll

[quaint lintel]

Anything new on Sundarpatan?

[quaint lintel]

I have a feeling Tigers simply won't have a fleeing animation... they go agressive no matter what

Just like irl

And I hope they reworked pumas and lions agression with the update

[lone forge]

Nope we can probably expect another teaser tomorrow other then that I'm just happy for Tuesday

[quaint lintel]

I think we'll get another 30 sec announcement teaser on Tuesday

[lone forge]

They get defensive I'd they want to get out of the way of a confrontation

[lone forge]

I think we'll might get another screen before that

Would be a perfect 2 day rhythm

[quaint lintel]

I hope they wrote a new music for the reserve, not just used Medved music since it's not playing in Medved anymore

Cause Tibetan music is beautiful

[hollow tundra]

its always new music for every reserve so idk why you would mention that

[small steppe]

Sometimes they're very good at incorporating a uniquely regional touch to the score. The "Waltzing Mathilda" theme in Emeral Coast was quite clever, Mississippi and Medved also utilized this brilliantly. Of course the scores have all been at least good, but the first four had a particular majestic feel to them.

[hollow tundra]

yea emerakd is really good

[quaint lintel]

It's Medved music playing in the teaser we got few days ago

[hollow tundra]

are you sure? it sounded different to me

[quaint lintel]

Nope, it is 100% Medved music

I'm around since 2018

I hope we get the new music with the official trailer

[hollow tundra]

we probably will, btw what score or whatever is the music then?

[quaint lintel]

In the "Tiger" teaser they used the Medved music that plays by the outposts (or used to at least, now it's bugged and not playing)

I hope this map has a Tibetan style music, search up on YouTube

[limber cliff]

My guess is the sound track is being hidden since that was just a teaser

Maybe we hear it Tuesday I hopeeee

[quaint lintel]

My thoughts exactly

Hopefully that's the case

[limber cliff]

Things I hope we see:

• Full song release
• Trailer
• some of the animals but not necessarily a GO

[small steppe]

-An old Hollywood tradition for studios to use some score from a different film that they own for trailers/previews, as often they're released before the score is finalized.

[glacial summit]

Can confirm

Love the medved music tho can't lie

[outer geyser]

I think this may be the more hyped the community has been in for basically 2 years

Yes EC had a HUGE hype build up

But this map seems almost special as

1: No new map in a year, so we all really excited for new animals

2: Possible Tigers

3: Asia map - New and never done before

I just wish it was Tuesday lol

I made this as a POSSIBLE Sundar Patan list

Not covering everything or all possiblities, but thought it kind of gave a good range of classes

[hollow tundra]

this sounds great

[vale grotto]

i think the black bear would just be called black bear tbh

[outer geyser]

Thanks guys, again so many different things they could do

I just kind of thought of a handful of ideas

do you think we will get 8 new species like EC

or would there be more?

[vale grotto]

Probs more like Rev

and I think tthe g1 will have more fur types then the others

[outer geyser]

I know I sound boring, but I hope we get at least 1 new gamebird

I been on REV today and I forgot how fun that map is

a nice cuppa and a shotgun and its great

[vale grotto]

I like bird species just loads on 1 map can be to much sometimes

[quaint lintel]

Add Sambar deer to the list and I'm the happiest man alive

[blazing turtle]

No, the Asian and American Black Bears are different enough

[vale grotto]

They are but I just have a feeling that it will jsut be called black bear

[blazing turtle]

They are not the same species though

[scarlet bluff]

if they were added then they would be called himalayan black bear

[vale grotto]

Ik

[scarlet bluff]

it would be no different than grey wolves and iberian wolves

[outer geyser]

is the blood pheasant hunted in Nepal?

[stray basalt]

If Grizzly bears and Eurasian Brown Bears are separate animals, I don’t see why Asiatic Black Bear and American Black Bear couldn’t be separate animals .

[vale grotto]

Yer it just seems something that would happen.

[blazing turtle]

The Asian and American Black Bears are more different to each other then Eurasian Brown and Grizzly Bears

Asian Black Bears are distinguished the white crescent shaped chest marking that they have, leading to their other name: Moon Bear

American Black Bears do occasionally have white chest markings, but it only occurs in about 25% of all American Black Bears and have longer hind limbs then their Asian counterparts and also, American Black Bears come in more then one fur colour

[red violet]

and asian black bears just look much different in general to american black bears

[vale grotto]

Well heres the thing if they will need to change the black bears name then, to american black bears or smth like that so new players don't question why ones called black bears and one isn't

[red violet]

i don't think that would be that big of a problem changing the name

oh and the asian black bear can come in different "variants" too :D

almost looks like a lion xD

[high stag]

it would be funny if they would not tell us what new great one is. so everyone would start to grind random animals to find out xD

[red violet]

Evil xD

[mighty dove]

Look at its ears

🥺

[vale grotto]

they've don t it before but a hacker found it i believe

[red violet]

Oh? For what GO was that?

[vale grotto]

I think bears

[blazing turtle]

That is true, they've done it before, the Eurasian Brown Bear used to be called Siberian Brown Bears

[mighty dove]

AHHH

They too big for hims head

[red violet]

they look so comical

[mighty dove]

He could take off with those things

[uneven bloom]

a hyperaggressive animal would kill the map for me, no matter what else is on it

[scarlet bluff]

if they did something like that then they would have to make it do like no damage

and make it found only in one part of the map

[blazing turtle]

I get the feeling if Sloth Bears are on the map your not going to like them too much on account of their aggression thanks to tigers being their main predator (And inability to climb trees thanks to claws designed for opening ant and termite mounds)

Even if both tigers and sloth bears are added, I reckon the Sloth Bear would be the more aggressive and hostile of the two species

[uneven bloom]

looking at sloth bears' IRL range, I think they're on the unlikely side. Sloth bear population in Nepal is on the lower side of the scale

[novel galleon]

What pack hasd the Zarza 300 in it?

[acoustic plank]

That fur type would be crazy

[scarlet bluff]

there is no zarza 300

[novel galleon]

I meant the 300 i got mixed up sorry

[scarlet bluff]

if your talking about the new 300 ar though it's in the high caliber weapon pack

[novel galleon]

Ok thanks'

[scarlet bluff]

np

[blazing turtle]

Its still a bigger range then the Blackbuck in Nepal, but you could be right about their inclusion, we will have to wait and see

Indian Blackbuck in Nepal only live in a very small part of the country

[uneven bloom]

blackbuck could get in on virtue of it only existing on one map rn

[stray basalt]

I mean, same kinda goes for tigers. They both have very slim ranges in Nepal.

[uneven bloom]

I'd enjoy having a map to hunt it on where I don't have to worry about murder buffalo

[blazing turtle]

That can be due to habitat preference and availability

[bitter matrix]

So based off previous timelines we may have the offical trailer in two days, two weeks or a month, but no more than two months out🔥🔥🔥🤓

[vale grotto]

We will probs have the trailer just before the EW stream, then maybe a map reveal or g1 reveal on the stream then the following week or the week after is when the map is released

[bitter matrix]

I think we get the offical trailer by Wednesday then the map drops two weeks later, they are consistent about dropping the map very soon after the official trailer

[vale grotto]

Yer.

[limber cliff]

I think 2 weeks is earlier than prior summer launches

most june drops are like 19th-27th or so

consider also they need to get it uhhhh

what is it when you need to run it by console platforms

[uneven bloom]

through Certification Hell

[vale grotto]

Idk but they takes ages

[limber cliff]

Yes this, that word haha

[peak cedar]

Name change is not an issue lol, they’ve done it with turkey and mountain lions, even bobcats I think

Back in the day when SRP was the only turkey map it was just “Turkey”

Or common turkey I forget tbh

[scarlet bluff]

idk when we'll get the actual official trailer

but i'd assume sometime close the the release of the map

which i would expect around the 11th or 18th

[glacial summit]

2 weeks prior usually yeah?

[scarlet bluff]

from the research i've done it seems like the map comes out about 3-4 weeks after teaser trailer

some were sooner than that though

[glacial summit]

tbh I dont think much of that matters because they don't really do things like they used to for a lot of the maps

Also do we know if it's going to 1 map a year at this point?

[scarlet bluff]

potentially

if i remember right the EC trailer didn't come out till release?

and we got a release date about 2 weeks after the teaser for it

[night trench]

EC did not get a teaser, it got a announcement trailer

The only teaser we got was a picture of the landscape

But no trailer

[oblique plinth]

Ik we're all talking about tigers and species lists but i will say the muntjac we did see looked very nice

[vale grotto]

100%

[oblique plinth]

Im already dreaming of the different furs

[scarlet bluff]

basically same thing

it shows off some of the map and a species on it or two

[signal drift]

i’d assume EW stream but if not wenesday fs, it’s normally a week after the teaser, then release is 2-3 weeks after

[plain yoke]

I dont think they will leave us hanging after the teaser from this last week... My guess is that we will get the official trailer this coming week with the map release 2 to 3 weeks after ....

after the official trailer they will dish out drips and drabs of info like the official animal list as well as bug fixes with the update

[vale grotto]

I think we will get the trailer either before the stream or at the end of the stream, and maybe a species list, probs the week after will be a g1 showcase then the map reveal then map release

[analog sorrel]

is it tuesday yet lol

[potent bane]

Mood

[unique roost]

I think new GO will be Axis deer

[signal drift]

only time of the year i want the weekend to go by faster than the actual week lol

[small mesa]

If tigers are in sudarpatan I feel like they would be the GI

GO*

[midnight valve]

Also we've not had a map in a year now I dont think staying within historical 'release week' Is for sure needed anymore.

[small mesa]

Fr

[midnight valve]

It could drop tomorrow or drop in four weeks time there's no real rhyme or rules too it now.

[small mesa]

Yeah

I was so happy when em coast came out but I didn't think it would take a year for a new map

Fr

[hollow tundra]

i dont think it will drop tomorrow lol

[small mesa]

I miss old cotw anyone else agree

[midnight valve]

Its a hypothetical question not that It would actually happen.

[hollow tundra]

i know lol

[midnight valve]

Before hand with the map release every 6 months we knew usually down to the week of trailers, teasers, and release dates.

yearly model we dunno Its new.

[hollow tundra]

yes and no, yes because of how i played and stuff, no because it was laggy and had bugs all the time, now its not so bad

[small mesa]

I just miss old cotw because it was more fun back then

[small mesa]

Especially when playing it in quarantine

[hollow tundra]

yeah, srp was fun, everything drank at once, and running around for feed zones was fun

[small mesa]

Yeah fr

What's halls favorite map mine is layton

Yalls

[hollow tundra]

i have a soft spot for cuatro and te, but revontuli is nice, and i used to play hirschfeldon a lot when looking for my euro bison dime

[small mesa]

Yeah revontuli is prolly my second fav map

And te is probably my 3rd fav map

[hollow tundra]

yeah i just never liked layton a lot, i like cuatro for all the ibex and deer

[small mesa]

Fair opinion

[hollow tundra]

but i havent been hunting for a while since cotw the angler came out tbh

[small mesa]

I like Layton for the moose and Whitetail and for vibes and beauty

Yeah same

Some times I only play cotw once a month now

Its gotten kinda boring

[hollow tundra]

ive been grinding red deer lately though and got a g1 outta the blue

[small mesa]

But im starting to kinda get back into it

[hollow tundra]

i also have almost every dime i want in the hunter until the new map comes out, just need hog deer, sambar, water buffalo, bobcat and some others, i dont like bird hunting a lot so dont want any birds really

[analog sorrel]

hahaha

[glacial summit]

real

[wet bough]

At the end of the trailer

Obviously not decernible at all, but it's definitely a bit bigger than a muntjac

My guess is nilgai

[glacial summit]

that's the corner of your monitor

how this helps!

[proper wedge]

Open pic in browser, zoom in - there are 2 larger animals in the field!

[limpid sinew]

TIGERS!

Its tigers

There vegan tho

[languid wedge]

It's a t rex

[gaunt imp]

Is an indominus

[limpid sinew]

It a spino

[languid wedge]

It's Amelia Earhart living out her days

[gaunt imp]

That's crazy

[wet bough]

It's gotta be Godzilla frfr

Also this

I'm sorry about the quality, but those look like axis

Or hog deer

[hollow tundra]

i cant see anything for the life of me

you crazy

[proper wedge]

Two animals in the field at the end of the trailer @wet bough

[wet bough]

Yeah that's what I was pointing out

That's why I posted that screenshot

[wet bough]

As I was saying, they look like nilgai to me

[signal drift]

either axis or new species

so off the teaser alone we have basically

• second deer specie
• muntjac
• greylag/bar headed goose
• nilgai
• tiger/leopard
• some sort of canine

pretty crazy from a 15 second clip

[midnight moon]

Any thing new yet

[brave grove]

I had almost forgotten nilgai exist

Big goofy goobers

[wet bough]

Noticed a a second muntjac off to the side too

[brave grove]

Some sort of canine...dhole?

[long spade]

Dunno if anyone's poointed this out yet, but this might be the first map with two big cats on it, possibly tigers and leopards

[wet bough]

They also look an awful lot like hog deer to me🤷

[long spade]

hope these are axis deer

[dire grail]

Look pretty wide

[long spade]

Would also like to see Sambar deer on a second map, they are one of the big reasons i adore emerald coast

[hollow tundra]

they cool tho

[scarlet bluff]

all the more to spook everything

[limpid sinew]

Leopards jump outta trees and kill you?

[paper fiber]

If they are gonna put any tree animal, let it be an squirrel

[quaint lintel]

Wait what, They dropped a new pic?

[wet bough]

No, I was looking closely at the trailer and saw some interesting things

@quaint lintel

[acoustic plank]

Bro how did you even spot that 😭

[wet bough]

I couldn't grind, so I hopped on yt and analyzed the teaser frame by frame on my tv

[acoustic plank]

Good spotting nevertheless dude

[stone pine]

They said something that it will come next week on insta

[scarlet bluff]

hard to tell

[shadow prism]

Looks like a wolf lol

[scarlet bluff]

but doesn't quite look the right color for dhole

i'd say himalayan wolf maybe

[limpid sinew]

Dholes dont live in nepal

[scarlet bluff]

the legs still throw me off

[limpid sinew]

Nvm

[proper wedge]

Packs of dholes will attack tigers

[scarlet bluff]

?

golden jackal?

[wind ridge]

Golden Jackal, huntable, no protected, is a good option

[signal drift]

y’all think they drop a new screenshot tomorrow

would be nice if they did one every 2 days

[scarlet bluff]

prob not

but maybe?

[red violet]

if we get a golden jackal, they really need to do some rework on the coyote and side striped jackals models

because they are some of the worst models in game (sorry)

[scarlet bluff]

i don't think coyote are horrible

they could use a remodel but there's others that need it more

jackal def need it

[red violet]

and grizzly bear cough cough

[scarlet bluff]

yeah

[red violet]

but I think that blob in the image is really just some rocks

[scarlet bluff]

idk

maybe

but it looks a lil too animal like

[wet bough]

To be fair,

Himalayan wolf

[red violet]

i doubt they make a map with all protected species lol

[quasi holly]

that's funny

man i really hope we get rhinos

they probably would've flexed the rhinos in the teaser trailer by now because they'd be a massive addition

but there is hope

[wind ridge]

All wolves in Nepal are protected, even the Gray Wolf :S

[quasi holly]

WAAHH WAAAHH WAAAAAH well we're getting tigers so it doesn't matter

they're extremely protected

[red violet]

with the poached rhino on the Africa map..i don't see them putting rhinos in the game

[quasi holly]

maybe in this map you play as a poacher

xd

[wind ridge]

They won't add tigers either xD

[quasi holly]

what do you mean they wont add tigers

[brave grove]

Some maps have animals that aren't common or are protected. they're allowed a bit of artistic license, it's a game.

[red violet]

like, I don't care about the "It's just a gaaame" argument. Some things don't need to be added to games just because they are games. 🤷‍♀️

[quasi holly]

nothing NEEDS to be added

but i would've dropped this game if they didn't add something as gamechanging as a tiger in this update

because if they stuck with the endangered species thing then every map from this point on would've just been a slightly different biome with deer and sheep reskins

[red violet]

and there sure is people who would drop the game if they added tigers or other highly endagered species

[quasi holly]

i can't think of much else they could add besides a tahr or something that isn't protected AND isn't just a reskin

[quasi holly]

but there aren't many of them

because most people can just

not hunt the tigers??

people still have free will you can always just not hunt the tigers

[wind ridge]

Until now that is the content policy of the developers, they have given a little when considering animals "that can still be hunted in real life" in the case of Elephants and others from Africa.
But Tigers are the most protected predators on the planet and cannot be hunted in any country, not even in farms.

[quasi holly]

that doesn't mean you HAVE to hunt them in game

[red violet]

you can also not want to support the game for putting in those animals

[wind ridge]

Although I think the Jaguar is in the same condition than tigers or maybe a little better xD

[uneven bloom]

last I was aware jaguars are also very illegal to kill anywhere they're found

[quasi holly]

this is true, but once they're in the game, what can you do really

[red violet]

Like, if they ever added elephants, I'm gone. I'd play the game, but would not put any more money in the game, not buy new maps or anything, because I think elephant hunting is disgusting and I don't support it-

[wind ridge]

Correct, there are more than 30 international treaties that protect them, there are even cybersecurity organizations that monitor possible hunting attempts xD

[minor shadow]

Actually, Jaguars are legal to hunt in Ecuador so that’s about it

[uneven bloom]

huh, interesting

[turbid star]

That's why I play the old school nintendo games, there was no limits on the animals to hunt really. Like the dangerous hunts series

[minor shadow]

So if we ever get another South America map of them or Amazon jaguars. It’s most likely going to be Ecuador.

Also, I’ve said this before, and I will say it again! With this new map, we better get a brand new could MultiMount Titled “Oh My!” 1 Male African Lion, 1 Male Bengal Tiger, 1 Male Grizzly Bear, and 1 Male Mountain Lion/Puma see where I’m going?

[turbid star]

That would be pretty cool, but a HUGE mount would be needed

[languid wedge]

Battle of kings lion vs tiger

[minor shadow]

Also, I know Technically applies more for Siberian tigers but currently the Bengal tiger would be the only tiger in the game, so gotta improvise have one of a Bengal tiger fighting a Moose

[minor shadow]

Don’t We have huge Mounts? Especially in the Safari Lodge?

[turbid star]

I don't know if that's big enough for all 4 of those species though, tigers should be the same size as the lions

[languid wedge]

Tiger vs water buffalo

Omg please

[minor shadow]

Yeah it just weights more than lions and is a bit more bulky

But yeah I think we can fit all four on a multi Mount

[languid wedge]

Bread winner is the biggest mount tmk

So comparing it to the size it should work

[turbid star]

True

[minor shadow]

Also, Bengal tiger versus grizzly bear would be pretty cool, multi Mount

And one of the tiger fighting a crocodile

[quasi holly]

i feel like they'd have to be near eachother for that multimount to happen

[bitter matrix]

Hear me out, a tiger attacking a muntjac multimount and the tiger could be literally be on its back biting its neck

[wind ridge]

Jaguar is Protected specie in Ecuador by Federal Law, Contitucional Law and Federal Protection Program

Art. 119 ibidem, states that: “...It is established as species of birds and mammals
threatened with extinction in Ecuador, prohibited from being hunted, the species
detailed in Annex 1 of this Book IV “On Biodiversity”…” In Annex 1,
The “List of Endangered Mammal Species” is determined by the authority.
or in Danger of Extinction in Ecuador.” Within the Carnivorous Order, the jaguar is
described as a Vulnerable species, however, currently (since 2011), as
indicated previously, it is considered Endangered in the Amazon and Critically Endangered in
the Coast (Tirira, 2011).
Art. 119 ibídem, manifiesta que: “...Se establece como especies de aves y mamíferos
amenazadas de extinción en el Ecuador, prohibidos de ser objeto de cacería, las especies
detalladas en el Anexo 1 del presente Libro IV “De la Biodiversidad”…” En el Anexo 1,
se determina, por parte de la autoridad, la “Lista de Especies de Mamíferos Amenazadas
o en Peligro de Extinción en el Ecuador”. Dentro del Orden Carnívora, el jaguar, está
descrito como una especie Vulnerable, sin embargo, actualmente (desde 2011), como se
indicó con anterioridad, se considera En Peligro en la Amazonía y En Peligro Crítico en
la Costa (Tirira, 2011).

[languid wedge]

Ain't those lil tiny dur?

[wind ridge]

Jaguar is the most protected specie in SA, at same level than Panda in Asia

[bitter matrix]

Yuhhh but that’s how the tigers take em down, they jump on their back and try to sever the spine as fast as possible, they use all that 300-600lbs to topple anything they jump on

[languid wedge]

Yes I'm meaning like the deer is like the size of the tigers head isn't it there wouldn't be much jumping on the back of anything

[stray basalt]

I’m pretty sure tigers can cripple a muntjac with even the lightest swipe of a singular paw.

[quasi holly]

a multimount where a tiger is pouncing from above towards a perfectly calm muntjac looking the other way would easily make the absolute hardest pic in the game

[bitter matrix]

This!

[left adder]

I may have found something, at 6 seconds in this orange shape moves like its stalking the muntjac i think its tiger proof

[bitter matrix]

OHHHHHHH

DID WE FIND SOMETHING!?!?

[left adder]

I think we did boys

[bitter matrix]

Could be a second muntjac laying in the grass as well tho
