[proper wedge]

Flinter - here's the one you said you liked.

[mighty dove]

Baden is so encoded in CoTW lore

[warm nexus]

I have a feeling we are going to be the Baden.

[river swallow]

the tigers look sick

[heavy venture]

1212 Big Male Lane, Hooooooooly, Pennsylvania

[quaint lintel]

This time baden got molested by a tiger

[warm nexus]

That would actually be really fun, if we had dynamic missions in multiplayer and had to look for each other's corpses.

[river swallow]

can someone confirm for me that the GO is a thar? (im too lazy to google it)

[long spade]

I'm betting the new baden is in a cat's stomach for the second time

[glacial flame]

It is

[plain yoke]

actually look very healthy to me

[mighty dove]

Think they mean sick as in cool

[jade thicket]

one of those two

hmmm

[river swallow]

I think they did a really good job with the rare fur types, I was a hater till I saw them ngl

the one on the right looks a lil burnt

[quaint lintel]

It is, Jaxy said Tahr has become the most requested species after New Zealand, I bet that's why they decided to do a Great One for it when they make it ... if Great Ones were a thing when SRP came out, they would've for sure made Turkey GO since everyone was asking

[mighty dove]

Jaxy’s face lmao

[long spade]

Difficult decisions are difficult

[glacial flame]

I want all the rare tigers so bad

[hazy forge]

The albino s when they are aggressive they look so cool

[glacial flame]

Forever gonna be grinding them and tahr

[quaint lintel]

How you gonna grind tigers?

[heavy venture]

I really wonder if grinding tigers is possible

heh

[glacial flame]

Uh shoot them lol

[hazy forge]

If they drink zones

[warm nexus]

I mean, from the blog post, the tigers are going to be grinding you.

[quaint lintel]

That's hunting lol

[hazy forge]

Are tigers one shot u?

[warm nexus]

Let's just say I did NOT realize that pun until after I sent it.

[quaint lintel]

YES

[glacial flame]

Going through meticulously killing them all off I’d still call grinding tbh

[hazy forge]

Dayum

[long spade]

I just had a thought, are the snow leopards as aggressive as the tigers, or are they wary? Cuz if they don't come after you. . .

[glacial flame]

But it doesn’t matter really what you call it lol

[warm nexus]

We don't know yet.

[heavy venture]

the way Jaxy described it, they're gonna flee I think

[warm nexus]

On the stream, it did come running over to attack Jaxy after he released it.

[heavy venture]

He said something like "if you're running, you likely wont see these guys"

[warm nexus]

We couldn't see it, because he turned the stream off, but we could hear him comment on it.

[glacial flame]

Anything can do that with the dev controls

[quaint lintel]

I don't think it will be predictable where we gonna find the respawn for one in the same region, but yea, I get it, I myself will kill (or at least try if they let me) every tiger I come across

[long spade]

That is what worried me

[glacial flame]

Happened with a red fox when he showed the go moose on nem

[hazy forge]

I think they gonna be like lynx’s

[heavy venture]

we need aggressive wooly hares

[warm nexus]

Petition to re-enact the killer rabbit scene!

[glacial flame]

Lolll

[hazy forge]

For halloween

[quaint lintel]

What I liked the most .... TIGER DID NOT FLEE AFTER A GUNSHOT LIKE CROCS!

[heavy venture]

good point

[long spade]

If the Tigers are like a kill or be killed situation I'm gonna love this game so much more

[heavy venture]

it kinda sounds and looks that way ngl

[quaint lintel]

It is what it looks like, Jaxy shot one, tiger didn't give a dam, still molested him lol

[quick grail]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-and-the-holy-grail-rabbit-bunny-gif-11190286

[long spade]

I can't wait for the 18th

[warm nexus]

Well, I've had that happen with moose.

[quaint lintel]

What y'all think the December dlc gonna be this time? A lodge?

[quick grail]

same i am really looking forward to having a lodge dedicated to tigers

[warm nexus]

Once they are already in molesting mode, it takes a lot to snap them out of it.

[quick grail]

god I HOPE ITS A LODGE, i think we would do well with a new one

[river swallow]

What is the release date and time?

[quick grail]

18th June, time idk

[long spade]

Idk, a .375 bolt action would be super welcom for me

[jade thicket]

a nepal themed trophy lodge would be cool

[quaint lintel]

I think it is gonna be something new we don't have in game

[quick grail]

biiiig agree

[quaint lintel]

Yea, but I rather Yukon themed

[quick grail]

oh wait no i agree more w/ yukon

a lovely snowy place<3

[jade thicket]

i would like both

[warm nexus]

Why not Whitereme map + new lodge instead of new gun?

[long spade]

What would a Nepal lodge look like

[jade thicket]

but i feel with the species we got at nepal people will deffo be making lodges just for nepal

[quaint lintel]

Jaxy said an Arctic map is a new idea in community, and probably won't happen this or next year ... like when Australia idea came out, it took 4 years to happen

[warm nexus]

Ah.

[quaint lintel]

Cause they have a written roadmap

[jade thicket]

interesting went on google to find nepal trophy lodge literally all searches are cotw

[quaint lintel]

Because of this survey question from back in 2020, I think https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1207357430963507281 is next in their roadmap

[river swallow]

Whats the release date and time?

[warm nexus]

Or for an older look:

[long spade]

I' be pretty happy to pay the 12 bucks for a dlc with 2 lodges

[warm nexus]

June 18th.

[quaint lintel]

June 18th, whenever you wake up lol

[river swallow]

so like 1pm?

[quaint lintel]

If that's when you wake up xD

[warm nexus]

Not an EW employee, but as a dev, you normally only plan one major release ahead. So at this point, they know what they are working on next, but they probably haven't assigned dates to anything beyond that.

[river swallow]

ima be the first with the albino yak

[quaint lintel]

I'm gonna be up 7am on June 18th

[river swallow]

I can already tell the yaks are my fav new animal

[warm nexus]

Because user sentiment changes; you don't want to get locked into a long term plan longer than 6-12 months ahead of where you are.

[quaint lintel]

Yaks are biggest animal in game so far, watch on the stream when jaxy standing next to one compared when he standing next to water buffalo

[long spade]

How you guys feel about the new price?

[warm nexus]

Beyond what they are doing next, they probably have a pool of 3-5 to pick from, and 20-100 that could happen down the road, but might not be anything more than a region of the world.

[quaint lintel]

And it sounds like Yaks gonna be agressive like Bison

[warm nexus]

The 3-5 "almost ready to go" are probably assigned a tentative name and species list, etc.

[quaint lintel]

Well, you decide, where next? If they said no Africa until 2026 and Arctic is a new idea so it's fs not gonna be next, my guess still stays on https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1207357430963507281

[warm nexus]

I think that's a good guess, but no clue.

[long spade]

Hard to believe we are 15 maps in

[quaint lintel]

I know their new roadmap started with Revontuli, when they started adding tons of animals to new maps

[uneven bloom]

eh, I had a feeling price increases were inevitable

[warm nexus]

TBH, the only map I really want is a badlands map.

[quaint lintel]

First I thought they did a price increase to donate the extra money to programs that protect Tigers and snow leopards in Asia, but no, it goes to their pocket lol 😂

[warm nexus]

I don't really like heavily overgrown maps, so I might pass on a jungle map, unless it has some really cool new species.

Honestly, I'm surprised pricing been as low as it has for as long as it has.

[quaint lintel]

Jaguar

Check out https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1207357430963507281

Species list

[long spade]

I mean, I'm fine with maps for 12 bucks or so, at least it'd not like expensive packs of skins and temporary boosts

[warm nexus]

Yeah, looks cool. Having snakes would be fun too.

[quaint lintel]

I played games that had a small skin pack selling for 50$

[long spade]

Shoot, two weapons and a map and I'll pay 15 any time really

[jade thicket]

remember 20 percent off on all platforms

dam mic in way 🤣

[long spade]

Nah, rather pay for cotw maps and gear than fortnight skins

[heavy venture]

Just wait till we can play as Peter Griffin in COTW

[jade thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/y3ongi-gun-peter-griffin-gif-21033967

[heavy venture]

well played 😂

[long spade]

I kinda miss outfits tho, they were kinda cool.
If I hadn't bought the bundle on way of the hunter I wouldn't have got that outfit pack tho

Autocorrect never corect

[heavy venture]

I think customization of characters is a good thing. Tho we never see our own character in COTW

[plain yoke]

Not outfits or cosmetics until we get third person view

[jade thicket]

it would be cool to design our own stick names on and such

[hazy forge]

A nametag and stickers on guns

[river swallow]

just wait till they add FA guns 👿

[long spade]

Saw your video on the woth skins, kinda wish I hadn't bought the bundle

EW PLEASE let us have flinter as a option in character select

[heavy venture]

Hah! That would be cool 😂 Running into myself in multiplayer would be wild tho

[long spade]

Classic did creator weapons right? How about creator characters in cotw

[river swallow]

will you request full auto guns to a dev

[long spade]

Get a good mp video of flnter running from a tiger

[heavy venture]

Do we need full auto guns?

[river swallow]

idc if it's "unethical" finna make the fallow grind goated

[river swallow]

we do

for my mental health

[stable parcel]

bro just play call of duty at that point

[river swallow]

but I can't grind a lvl 10 hooded big rack in cod

[warm nexus]

How are you going to make sure you only shoot an animal with one/two bullets with full auto?

If you shoot anything with full auto, the only thing left is a smear on the ground.

[river swallow]

well obv you can toggle between simi auto 🙄

I just want the option

just hear me out, the drive by on verhunga is finna go ham

[midnight moon]

usually a burst is 3

if they wack a GMPG in game and you mow down a herd of bison i can't imagine you'll pass the harvest checks

[plain yoke]

Not Gangsta COTW

[river swallow]

no way we get a glock wit a switch and no full auto

[warm nexus]

To be fair, even gangsters use full auto. That's an almost exclusively military tool for denial of area.

[river swallow]

im gonna deny the animals their area

[midnight moon]

Grand Hunt Auto: Call of the Cops

[warm nexus]

The cost alone prevents it from being useful anywhere else, as does the risk of hitting something else in any other setting.

[long spade]

Can we go the opposite direction and get a few more really cool old style single shots?

[warm nexus]

You're going to love the new gun, LOL.

[midnight moon]

i would like a bigger mag for the AR platfroms in game but still keeping it semi auto

[long spade]

😒 not at 4-8

[quaint lintel]

Have you got killed by a Tiger yet in early access? 👀

[warm nexus]

To be fair, most standard rifles would be in the 4-8 range/.

Smaller, you either use a pellet gun or a heavy rifle.

[quaint lintel]

7mm once again gonna be the best gun for this and any map

[warm nexus]

Like, coyotes, you'd use a .22 irl, not an AR/AK.

[uneven bloom]

we have nine 4-8 rifles, compared to an average of three for everything else.

[warm nexus]

And for larger animals, like the bison, you need a heavier gun.

[long spade]

I can't see myself shooting a 120 pound deer with a bullet over a half inch in diameter

[uneven bloom]

idk about anyone else but I'm getting a bit sick of all the 4-8's

we need more variety for bigger game

[plain yoke]

Most of the animals are in that class so sorta kinda makes sense

[long spade]

I mean, the new rifle isn't that far removed from. A musket with too much powder in it

[warm nexus]

I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm just saying the average rifle would be roughly 4-8, so if they are adding true-to-life rifles, that range having the most options kind of makes sense.

[midnight moon]

military weapon pack incl. Boeing AH-64 Apache class 9

[long spade]

Yeah, the average rifle would be, but we have enough average rifles and need more for the bigger and smaller stuff

[midnight moon]

i love the arzyna .300 for big game but id like more options

[warm nexus]

They did just release a rifle back for the bigger stuff.

[midnight moon]

GIS MORE

[uneven bloom]

of pre-existing calibers.

[warm nexus]

I wouldn't be surprised to see more bird shotguns soon, though.

[heavy venture]

not that I could tell you either way, but I havent even started EA 😂 I gotta record videos on the live build still

[long spade]

I mean, gimme like a 9.3double barely for 6-9, a .257 for 3-7. So.ethingnother than 4-8

[shrewd shell]

When are creators allowed to show Nepal?

[long spade]

Rate the map by tacos. 1-10

[long spade]

14th

[whole lava]

4 days before release

[shrewd shell]

Bummer

[long spade]

Bit of a wait

[heavy venture]

based on everything EW has shown, 147 tacos

I havent eaten today

I now want tacos

[long spade]

Ohh

Apologies

I'd like a weapon pack pulled directly from Classic, a lever action .405 for 7-9, a reverse draw crossbow, and maybe a .308 pistol (wolfsbane skin is gorgeous)

[midnight moon]

is this game available in russia?

[worldly shard]

YO I LOVE UR VIDEOS BRO

[heavy venture]

hey thanks! 😄

[vale grotto]

Hello Flinter, guess you got EA?

[long spade]

Well he didn't get a turkey this year

[shrewd shell]

Is it true that early access can only be offered to PC players?

[whole lava]

Prob only content creators

[scarlet bluff]

it’s only ever offered to content creators on pc because i believe it’s a certain file that can only be downloaded/used on pc

[shrewd shell]

No, apparently to player council members too but only those on PC.

[hardy apex]

so when it says the amount of tigers is limited on the map does it mean that they can't respawn?

[whole lava]

Nuh uh

[heavy venture]

hey!

[shrewd shell]

Thanks for clearing that up. Bit of a shame really. Console players are second citizens. 😂

[heavy venture]

😂

[hardy apex]

fr?

[scarlet bluff]

i think it’s just too difficult/impossible for them to do it for console because of that

[whole lava]

Of course they respawn

That would be quite dum if they didn’t

[hardy apex]

then why are they limited?

[heavy venture]

Apparently doing multiple builds on console is really problematic. Certification and all that sort of stuff goes into it

[whole lava]

To make them more rare

[hardy apex]

altough they respawn?

[whole lava]

Yes

[vale grotto]

just generally console is 10x as hard to get stuff done as they take ages.

[shrewd shell]

Which cancels console players from being eligible for Player Council too. 😭

[hardy apex]

then they aint limited

[whole lava]

No but they are for how many at a time in map

[scarlet bluff]

forgot about all that stuff too

[vale grotto]

They are, 16 on the map at one time.

[hardy apex]

ah thanks

[hardy apex]

ye my ass got it now

[sudden ginkgo]

As in, the number that will be on your map at any given time is very small lmao

[glacial flame]

Hi cash!

[vale grotto]

Also snow leopards are going to be even harder due to them being having a small amount on the map.

[hardy apex]

yes just watched a video about it

[heavy venture]

what if I think 16 is a lot???? Then what?!?!?!

[vale grotto]

Thing is i was kinda expecting it due to them only being on the top part of the map

[vale grotto]

🤦

[scarlet bluff]

let’s hope the content creators find a way to hunt them effectively

[oblique plinth]

has anyone mentioned a number for snow leopards? or do we just know its less than 16

[heavy venture]

less than 16 is all we know rn

[oblique plinth]

ah thanks

[vale grotto]

Just less I believe. i didn't hear anything else.

[shrewd shell]

Actually I was wondering the same thing. 16 lethal cats may be a bit of a hazard. 😂

[sudden ginkgo]

@warm nimbus break up with him right here right now

[heavy venture]

the way they described it with each having a home range kind of thing, it shouldnt be too frequent

[heavy venture]

[shrewd shell]

Finger crossed! 🤣

[vale grotto]

Well ngl I kinda don't want to see the mela attack me at night time as I will not be going to sleep as that attack animation and not going to be able to hear them will scare the shitt out of people.

[heavy venture]

why cant you hear them 👀

[vale grotto]

There new sneak ability...

[hoary cosmos]

Hello.

[heavy venture]

Maybe by the time they roar its too late xD

[heavy venture]

[vale grotto]

Yer. They roar as soon as they attack that would sound about right.

[hoary cosmos]

Love the channel ❤️

[heavy venture]

Enough time to close your eyes before they maul you 😭

[heavy venture]

thank you!! 😄

[hoary cosmos]

😄

[vale grotto]

Yep, or just turn around and see them swipe...

[scarlet bluff]

i feel like they have the potential to get annoying fast since they 1 shot

[sudden ginkgo]

470 to the face right here right now

[vale grotto]

Thing is it wouldn't make sense that tigers wouldn't 1 kill you. but the speed they run scares me more tbh

[scarlet bluff]

yeah i know

[vale grotto]

U aint out running them lol

[scarlet bluff]

300 AR is gonna be a necessity

[shrewd finch]

Oh Flinter hii

[heavy venture]

I am gonna be so mad if I mess up an attacking diamond doing that 😂

[heavy venture]

[vale grotto]

that or the handgun.

Sunberg handgun

[shrewd finch]

Shooting to aggressive tiger is ☠️

[long spade]

Is 100 arrows enough?

[hardy apex]

no

[scarlet bluff]

i prob won’t hunt them till after i get done with tahr

[vale grotto]

100 will be just to kill it....

[midnight moon]

them tigers were rapid

[vale grotto]

I won't be doing tahr unless they drink as they will be painful

[scarlet bluff]

true that

[midnight moon]

once it starts running thats game over you cant dance around in triangle shapes like with capes and roos

[scarlet bluff]

i feel like they’ll have to give tahr drink zones because it’s a GO

[shrewd finch]

Yeah

[scarlet bluff]

but i really can’t be sure of that at the same time because of everything so far

[vale grotto]

Yer but lbh EW will go with the trend that MG and that don't drink

Also idk if tigers drink.

[scarlet bluff]

i think tigers will still have all their zones

[vale grotto]

We know it has a resting, why do i think doesn't have set times of the day to drink ect

[scarlet bluff]

maybe it won’t

or maybe it’ll have several drink times and choose which one it goes to

[vale grotto]

Yer or that

[scarlet bluff]

just hope they didn’t make them too difficult to the point where nobody wants to hunt them at all

[vale grotto]

Yer.

[scarlet bluff]

assuming he got EA maybe ibuy will have found a way to hunt/grind them effectively

[vale grotto]

I think he said he won't grind them too much but i think he will

He normally does

[glacial summit]

You don't know me son

[scarlet bluff]

well at least pro should have a zone map done by release

[vale grotto]

Hopefully lol

[long spade]

Ah crap, I just remembered I have a doc appointment the 18th and it's two hours away

[jade thicket]

i always get loads of guides ready for launch. just need to know which you want

best get to work on em i guess

as lots to do 😁

[amber kiln]

Leopard guide 🤭

[jade thicket]

haha will have all the species covered

going to be a busy time

[long spade]

Barasingha would be good to know

[amber kiln]

I know I was just messin around, since there’s so little leopards

[jade thicket]

yeah it will be hard but people like me and pro go deep on the guides and put the time in

[peak cedar]

$20 a Tiger kills you first

[amber kiln]

Definitely will watch your yak and leopard vids

[amber kiln]

Yeah, your all’s guides are always in depth and well put together

[heavy venture]

before I kill a diamond? Probs xD

[bold monolith]

I'll be making sure that Widowmaker is on my hip.....aka The Rhino.

[upbeat glacier]

Flinter you should do a pistols only tiger hunt that would be a bit spooky

[heavy venture]

I'm trying to decide what kind of hunts to do for them. Pistols only is a good one!

[heavy venture]

I am gonna carry the .410 revolver

[stiff hornet]

Crossbow Iron Sights 🤣

[heavy venture]

sometimes I think people want to watch me kill 0 animals 😂

[upbeat glacier]

that is vile

[stiff hornet]

Could be worse…Recurve Bow…

[upbeat glacier]

that is true

hip shot only two

[upbeat glacier]

this you flinter if you do pistols only?

[heavy venture]

how'd you know I look like that?!

[heavy venture]

I think I am more accurate with that than the irons on the xbow 😭

[upbeat glacier]

Idk maybe it was the irl hunting vids

[stiff hornet]

I hate the old recurve, the new one is good.

[upbeat glacier]

I have only used bows Once in game so I don't really know what the old recurve sights look like :/

[tepid acorn]

missed all the stream yesterday, do we have any news on the new weapon thats coming with this dlc?

[heavy venture]

well they dont have sights

[stiff hornet]

It’s a 4-8, and its caliber is .577/450. That’s about it.

[heavy venture]

but you can kinda use the broadheead to aim now. Before that was way harder

[tepid acorn]

Ah, another 4-8?!

[upbeat glacier]

Oh okay

[stiff hornet]

Yeah

[teal garnet]

Yeah, bit annoying especially if it isn’t as powerful as any others :/

Idk yet tho

time will tell

[mint jacinth]

can you kill yaks with the new gun or no?

[upbeat glacier]

Probably not

Yaks I'd bet are class nine and the new gun is 4-8 i may be wrong

[tepid acorn]

better than nothing i guess

What mechanism is it? Bolt action? sorry i cant find anything about it on YT etc...

[peak cedar]

nah, just a Tiger in general. Dogs don't count 😏

[rustic quarry]

Is there a stream today on the new map?

[upbeat glacier]

It’s based of the martini Henry rifle which is a breach loader

[uneven bloom]

that was yesterday

today is Angler stream

[heavy venture]

everyone said I half to not bring my dog the first hunt 😂

[minor shadow]

Tiger with a Sombreo and a Mustache Please! “El Tigre Hombre!”

[upbeat glacier]

No dog needed just pull a Saxton Hale from tf2 and punch the tigers to death

[stiff hornet]

Breech Loaded

[peak cedar]

Yeah because it’s big lame doing it for the first time with the dog

Ruins half the fun

[scarlet bluff]

i think as a general rule the cats and tahr would be a safe place to start

[gaunt imp]

Tibetan fox guide when?

[lime scarab]

I've seen people saying the gun should be 5-9 instead, i'm not sure how accurate that would be but I wish the new gun would fare better on this map with several class 9's

[west wadi]

It has the highest caliber in the game thus far

[teal trail]

577/450 martini henry can be used effectivly on anything from spirngbok to bear and moose irl

[midnight moon]

i wonder how the arzyna .300 will perform against yakovlevs and tigers

[jade thicket]

well tigers are class 9

so i guess the arzyna will be the one

[midnight moon]

sayin i wonder how quick it'll down em

[jade thicket]

i guess we will know soon 😁

[vapid garden]

You can shoot moose which are class 8, but not tigers which are class 9 despite weighing half of what a moose weighs

[teal trail]

i was refering to the actual cartirdge

[vapid garden]

Ik just showing how silly it is that you can't use it on tigers

[teal trail]

the actual cartridg eis able to kill bear and was designed mainly for africa

[west wadi]

At least the .470 is going to get more use

[uneven bloom]

that thing's a bit underpowered ime

.300 drops things quicker

[west wadi]

The .470 or the Gahendra?

[uneven bloom]

.470

[west wadi]

Well, both I suppose

Yeah, it could use a rework

[uneven bloom]

didn't work very well on water buffalo when I tried it out

[west wadi]

What range did you use it at?

It has pretty big falloff

[uneven bloom]

was a while ago, but I think 50-ish meters?

[west wadi]

Huh

Whenever I use it at that range, it skewers the buffalo

[glass raven]

Is there gonna be a gun that comes with the map like how elephant rifle came with savannah

[west wadi]

Yes, a Gahendra rifle

.577/450 like a Martini-Henry

[jade thicket]

yeah classes 4 -8

[brazen radish]

Hi is anyone down to unlock the new map with me when it comes out. You need to be on Xbox

[rich mural]

Do we know what caliber the martini is gunna be in?

[midnight moon]

.577/450

Single shot

Black powder cartridge

[scarlet bluff]

one that you shouldn’t bother using lol

[dense sleet]

yay another 4-8 weapon.....

[scarlet bluff]

that’s single shot and weighs more than 300

[uneven bloom]

I'm sorry what

how much does it weigh???

[vale grotto]

4.5

.5 heavier

[uneven bloom]

bruh

that just guarantees I'm never touching it 😭

[vale grotto]

Lol

[midnight moon]

I might try it tbh

I like to try every gun

[scarlet bluff]

there’s literally no point in using it for any other reason than the sound

[midnight moon]

The arzyna .300 is fire af

[amber kiln]

I’ll use it because I like it, 270 is one of my most used rifles just because I like it

[stray basalt]

Makes the game too easy imo.

[scarlet bluff]

they just need to make it a 4-9 rifle

[west wadi]

Or 5-9

[royal cliff]

Needs to be a 4-9 or it'll just be another shelf warmer 😭😭

[hoary cosmos]

What pack is it in?

[scarlet bluff]

high caliber i believe

[midnight moon]

High caliber

It can pierce two lungs on a bear if you go broadside and drops it on the spot

Also real talk for a sec I think I saw a trail cam sitting on top of the storage area in the stream yesterday so we might be getting trail cams at some point

[jade thicket]

the arzyna 300 is a beast

id almost class it as a must buy tbh

[midnight moon]

Yeah

I think of all the reserves I’ve played NEM was kinda lackluster

[uneven bloom]

NEM's got the backyard bonus for me, and it's a pretty map, but it's also not easy finding good hunting spots

it's like Hirsch in that you really want to look more at feed zones than drink zones

[west wadi]

Shame it doesn’t really have an exclusive species

At least Parque has cinnamon teal all to itself

[mighty dove]

NEM has pumpkins and that is all that matters

[west wadi]

True

[plain yoke]

NEM is my Zen Map .....

[midnight spoke]

It's kind of weird, NEM has a completely different feel than any other map, its ambiance is more along the lines of a soothing hike/walk in the heart of nature with nothing pushing you to move faster or do more. (at least, that’s how it feels for me on NEM)

[west wadi]

It’s very pretty

[vapid garden]

I hope they do, doesn't make sense that you're not allowed use it to hunt the most iconic animal on the map it comes with, but you can use it on something that's more than double the size of the tiger

[plain yoke]

You can use it just wont get full credit ....

If you want the experience of shoot a tiger with a historic rifle ... go ahead

[vapid garden]

Takes up too much weight, it'd be better to use literally any other gun

[plain yoke]

that wont change even at 4-9

[vapid garden]

But at least you could use it lol

[plain yoke]

you can still use it at 4-8

[vapid garden]

But you don't get credit so why would you

[plain yoke]

you dont get full credit ...

but you do get credit

[midnight moon]

At that point just use the M1

[vapid garden]

Doesn't make sense that you can use it on a thousand+ lb moose but not a 500 lb tiger

[rich mural]

I only use one gun at a time, so this gun is like made for me

[plain yoke]

the .308 is the same at 4-8

[midnight spoke]

I'll give it a try, it's hard to know its true effectiveness when the shot on stream was taken defensively with a full-grown tiger barreling at top speed to help guide you to the crossroads.

[vapid garden]

that's why it sits in my storage box and doesn't come out

[uneven bloom]

if I feel like using a single-shot 4-8 rifle I'd just use either the Curman or the Hudzik

[rich mural]

But it’s so silly

[plain yoke]

Thats your choice ....

[uneven bloom]

I know the devs have their reasons, but in terms of actual relativity in the game, the only gimmick the new one has going for is its historic tie to the map

[vapid garden]

having the .308 at 4-8 was just an excuse for people to buy the .300 AR which is lame

[rich mural]

It’s about the experience, of course there’s better options but you won’t get the martini experience with those

[plain yoke]

history is cool / important

[rich mural]

I’m a raving hudzik user btw

If I wanted peak efficiency for hunting I wouldn’t have bought half the dlcs I did

[stray basalt]

Minne balls really need a buff though.

[vapid garden]

the gun is cool and all but it's useless for the map they decided to put it on. It's not designed for long range at all so you can't use it in the mountains, you can't use it on yaks, tigers, or buffalo so there's no reason to use it in the lowlands. So for most people it's just going to sit there

[rich mural]

I like them how they are, if they buff it there won’t be any risk in the hunt

[rich mural]

Most historic guns aren’t good when you compare them to modern firearms

[stray basalt]

I understand, but they should also be class 9, with a little more pen and expansion.

[rich mural]

I think a class buff is needed, but I sorta think they’re already pretty fair for pen/exp

[stray basalt]

Minne balls were well known for making massive, nasty holes in soft targets, they should be able to atleast take a moose.

[west wadi]

It does take moose

I use the Hudzik on moose all the time

[rich mural]

That’s what I was thinking

It does pretty good damage on buffalo too

It shreds pretty hard already

[stray basalt]

Not really, broadside meh, frontals pretty bad.

[scarlet bluff]

are you thinking of the inline?

[stray basalt]

Nope, caplock.

[rich mural]

Idk it’s pretty good from last time I used it

[scarlet bluff]

i’ve never had a problem with the caplock on frontals or any shot

interesting

[rich mural]

I do hope the martini performs slightly worse than the caplock though

[west wadi]

Why?

[rich mural]

Idk I’m all for the crawl closer type of hunting, I want a reason to need to get close

[west wadi]

Jaxy did say the Gahendra has a large falloff

[rich mural]

Which is why I don’t use alot of the better guns, like the 308 and 303

[rich mural]

that’s what I love

I’m the sort of person to carry only one gun

😭

And end up being mauled by wolves

[scarlet bluff]

i like the sound of the new gun but that’s about it so far

[rich mural]

I remember suggesting for a rolling block and martini about a year ago, this is right up my alley

[west wadi]

The reloading animations are cool to me

[rich mural]

Very

[hoary cosmos]

alr, I'll buy

[glacial summit]

literally out performs the 300 on moose

[hoary cosmos]

Is it good for moose?

[midnight moon]

It’ll kill a moose

[hoary cosmos]

al

r

I'll buy it some time.

[hoary cosmos]

June 18th.

🏆

[teal pumice]

did parteners got early acces?

[glacial flame]

Yes

[teal pumice]

luckyyy

[teal pumice]

first thoughts?

[glacial flame]

Can’t say anything until the 14th 👀

[teal pumice]

i cant wait 🔥

[proper wedge]

Barasingha looks similar to the Kashmir Stag, found in the western Himalayas.

[glad nacelle]

It won’t be

[glacial summit]

Do they look similar?

[rich mural]

that’s fine, as long as the animation is great and the dropoff is bad

[glad nacelle]

But yk what it could be 😭

I just remembered how much expansion the Caplock has as well as the penetration that thing is op lol so I can probably see it being better than the martini unless it does some unrealistic penetration or has even more expansion.

[rich mural]

all the black powder weapons have such good pen for no reason 😭

[royal cliff]

Wonder if the Martini will have its own scope or just use the default ones

[glad nacelle]

That’s what I’m scared of

[vivid cosmos]

Man I’m exited

[scarlet bluff]

hopefully it can just use the normal scopes

[lunar acorn]

@glacial flame so you have played the map?

[glacial flame]

I cannot confirm or deny…

[royal cliff]

If they keep it at 4-8 and don't give it a scope then it'll just go on the shelf 😭😭

[lunar acorn]

even if youve played it?

[glacial flame]

Can’t say a word other than we have access, and embargo is the 14th lol

[lunar acorn]

ahh okay

[royal cliff]

I really want to use that rifle but they're making it sooo bad right now

The 7mm single shot may be the go to for the reserve if nothing is changed for the Martini-henry

[scarlet bluff]

why use the 7mm single shot when the bolt action exist for it?

unless you don't have the dlc

[royal cliff]

I have all the DLCs, this is one of only like 3 games I have where I always buy DLCs when they first come out

I just want to use an older Rifle for the map is all

Thought about the .303 tbh, use the 10ga brass lever action slugs for 9s

[scarlet bluff]

my loadout for it will be 7mm bolt, 22, 16ga, 243 pistol, and tents so i can setup on tahr

[royal cliff]

The .22-250 is my go to 2-4 now, best small-medium game rifle they've added since the .223 M16

[scarlet bluff]

it's aight

wish it hit just a bit harder though

[warm nexus]

They were all playing it within 10 minutes of getting access 😂

[scarlet bluff]

some maybe

if they have a 2nd account to stream on or make content for

otherwise most probably won't want to keep switching back and forth between EA and current build

[warm nexus]

Usually these things aren't turned on for them by default, they usually need to be in individual contact to gain access.

[sinful bluff]

Will the Bengals be just in the lower 3rd of the map

[scarlet bluff]

i believe pahad and terai

[warm nexus]

So if they were actively streaming, they wouldn't be likely to be chatting with ew to get access.

[scarlet bluff]

i think they just have to get the file for it or something like that

and that gives them access to it

[wraith gale]

100%

[warm nexus]

Usually getting that file is the thing that requires communication...

[bold monolith]

I have early access my friend

[hoary cosmos]

😭

[scarlet bluff]

yes but once they have it and won't need to get in communication with them again

[hoary cosmos]

Wish I did 🙏

[wraith gale]

How many followers to get access?

[scarlet bluff]

so they would just be switching between early access build and live build when they wanted to stream

which is a bother because it takes time to redownload everything

[warm nexus]

Yeah.

[hoary cosmos]

Lucky.

[bold monolith]

I’ve been a creator partner for about 2.5 years or so….you have to apply to the program

[wraith gale]

Or how many do you have?

[scarlet bluff]

so most probably won't want to do that a whole lot unless they have two accounts

[hoary cosmos]

What day can you play it?

[scarlet bluff]

i think they can already play it

they just can't show or tell anything about it till a certain date

[hoary cosmos]

mhm

[midnight moon]

glad the devs are okay with adding endagered animals and see it as a video game

[limpid dock]

can you kiss the tigers

I want a pet tiger

i know it'd eat my face

but itd also be adorable

[real flame]

there's no way it'll be 4-8 on a map with multiple class 9s

[mint jacinth]

yes

it is.

[real flame]

plus .577-450 Martini Henry is a massive round

like basically a musket ball

[royal cliff]

If you watch the stream it is sadly, I'm just leaving it as either it being a "placeholder" or "severe Dev oversight"

But if it's 4-9 by the time of launch then I think the community will be satisfied

[royal fog]

the bullets stats are total overkill for any class 4 animal, got 53 pen and 60 expansion

[royal cliff]

.577/450 would obliterate a white tail lol

[royal fog]

the poor ibex on cuatro ain't gonna know what's hit em

[summer canopy]

Just gonna be a cloud of red mist where a ibex once stood 🤣

[real flame]

what

jesus bloody christ

[summer canopy]

Yeah the new rifle is a bit wild but you have to remember the drop off equals it out

[real flame]

... ya know what that's gonna be my new Vurhonga rifle, no cap

[lone forge]

Day 2 of asking for new game birds on sundarpatan!

[upbeat glacier]

I agree we need new game birds to be back filled later on I don’t care when I just want it to happen

[languid wedge]

Ganebirds?

[lone forge]

Sorry I can't spell

[lone forge]

Same I dont expect anything happening in the next 6 months I just want it to be heared

[upbeat glacier]

Put that in the feedback if you have not already

[west wadi]

We have

[upbeat glacier]

Liked it

[west wadi]

Thank you

We gotta keep the conversation active

[whole lava]

Training for my job rn 👀

Dam

Almost every time I talk I kill the chat

[whole lava]

You want ganebirds?

[lone forge]

I do

[whole lava]

No but you misspelled game

Oh nvm

[lone forge]

Chill

It's just a typo

[whole lava]

Someone already pointed it out

[lone forge]

I know

[whole lava]

Nuh uh

Anyways what animal are you guys gonna hunt first?

[west wadi]

Bengal tiger

[whole lava]

Hol up guys I gotta go train for my job

[subtle saddle]

Either tigers or leopards

[finite wagon]

Whatever just so happens to show up

Perhaps muntjac or blue sheep but I gotta see the tigers for sure too

[shrewd shell]

Does anyone know if lynx will also be affected with the bobcat update?

[orchid linden]

I have to say - it will be nice to have a map to truly hunt and not just grind.

[midnight moon]

You made a meme with a typo haha

[midnight moon]

What bobcat update?

[lone forge]

I did

And I wont redow it

[midnight moon]

It's one of those days I cbf doing anything...

[shrewd shell]

Aren't they getting fixed or something? I wasn't aware there was an issue but that's because I don't hunt them.

[midnight moon]

Idk...they appear to be fine on xbox. I got my dim the other day and low levels weren't making dim

[shrewd shell]

Congrats!

[subtle saddle]

So r the rabbits a new species or is it just one that was already in the game?

[shrewd shell]

New

[subtle saddle]

Ok thx

I heard the map is going to be more expensive than the others how much is it going to be?

[long spade]

11.99 US, but there's gonna be a 20% discount on launch

[subtle saddle]

Ok thx

[lean quarry]

Seriously, this would have been the perfect map if they added 3 more birds to it, reaching 16 species total.

[lone forge]

It would have been but if we scream loud enough EW will hear so go support us at https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1247621249794834523

[midnight moon]

@lone forge the rev warden is speaking to my character

[lean quarry]

I really want the monal 😭

[lone forge]

Isn't he attractive?

[lean quarry]

Majestic as f

[lone forge]

I mean I think he's be a pretty good dad to all the kids I would wanna do with him

[midnight moon]

Couldn't tell you, I like women

[lone forge]

I so too but you still can tell if somebody is attractive especially the Rev warden

[long spade]

He's too happy, irritatingly so

[lone forge]

I mean I'll take everything but mostly birds the birds in a non romantical way tho

[lone forge]

Kinda like some weird little finish Mormon

Odly hot

[long spade]

👎

[finite wagon]

YOU'RE SO RIGHT

I can see why the Revontuli warden can be "too sweet" for some

But bro we literally just met and he already gave me FOOD

Stole my heart immediately

[lone forge]

I like him if it wasn't obvious already

The accent is so cute

[lone forge]

Same

[finite wagon]

That too

[midnight moon]

Stop thirsting pixels

[long spade]

DOWN BOY
OR GIRL
OR WHATEVER YOU ARE

[midnight moon]

And that's my cap react

[lone forge]

I'm not thirsting the pixels I don't even remember the looks but in my head he looks like tomorrow chalomé

I'm only thirsting the voice

[lone forge]

Girl lol

[midnight moon]

What

[finite wagon]

And the fact that Revontuli is in a cold place? ✅
AND THE FACT THAT ITS A BIRD ORIENTED MAP AND IM A BIRDWATCHER? ✅

Revontuli is peak I fear

[lone forge]

I like seeing fellow birdwatchers

DM me some of you're pics if you photograph

[finite wagon]

I dont do wildlife photoe sadly, only landscape

[lone forge]

Oh

[long spade]

Cold, mountains, dangerous animals, lack of birds. . . .Nepal is my dream home

[finite wagon]

I dont have a good enough camera for wildlife

[lone forge]

I'm also a bit gay and hearing impaled I'm always fascinated how many gay hearing impaled birdwatchers I can find

[lone forge]

I do it with my phone

[midnight moon]

I'm also partial to birdwatching

[midnight moon]

I think you're bisexual actually

[vivid cosmos]

I like good models, animations and AI

[long spade]

Impaled? Please go to a doctor immediately

[vivid cosmos]

oh I thought we were talking about things we like from the maps :v

[finite wagon]

We're literally twins

[lone forge]

I am

[finite wagon]

Another one of the wardens I really like is the Medved lady

I woudn't date her but she reminds me a lot of my grandma

Shes got the same attitude

[lone forge]

What's the name for when you nearly can't hear in english

[finite wagon]

I like her lol

[finite wagon]

Hard of hearing?

[long spade]

I like quiet people, you don't have to talk every few seconds to show someone you care

[midnight moon]

Impaired. Not impaled

[vivid cosmos]

Happy pride people, I have nothing to add to the conversation... I like Carolina from a character standpoint

[long spade]

Impaired, you were close enough I figured autocorrect git you

[vivid cosmos]

I'll come back later

[lone forge]

I'll guess we'll I rely on hearing machines

I'll guess we'll I relay on hearing machines

[finite wagon]

Carolina? Do you mean Colorado?

I dont remember there being a map in Carolina

SRP is in Colorado iirc

[long spade]

I'd hunt with Doc and Njabulo, but the other wardens are eh

[vivid cosmos]

Carolina the warden from Parque lol

[midnight moon]

Anyway....I started a new game for raccoon dogs, hence the warden bothering me

[vivid cosmos]

the crazy murderous lady

[finite wagon]

OHHH

[midnight moon]

Grandfather is underrated

[long spade]

Like the new wardens voice

[vivid cosmos]

I've checked most stories, Medved is one of the best, Granpa Njabulo is a great character and I love him but vurhonga story is convoluted

[midnight moon]

I see a lvl 5 reindeer...

[vivid cosmos]

Why do we need a Magical Ghost Jackal

realistic game my butt

I'm exited for nepal's story they said it was a cool one

[long spade]

Made more sense than walking away from a poaching operation in Mississippi acres

[vivid cosmos]

And the story circling around tigers, just interesting

[midnight moon]

I think the Cuatro arc is the best

[vivid cosmos]

I like medved one but cuatro is def 2nd for me at least

[vivid cosmos]

Mississipi is one of the weakest story lines

[long spade]

SRP story felt kinda . . .idk, overdone?

[midnight moon]

Miss is so lame

I'd better go knock over this lvl 5 reindeer, doesn't look big enough though

[vivid cosmos]

the Baden arch was... odd, I do like to pretend my GO was the bear that took her out

but yeah also a bit convoluted

[long spade]

That was Yukon not srp

[vivid cosmos]

SRP baden was a yoga instructor

female

[long spade]

Oh righ

[midnight moon]

It was both

[vivid cosmos]

in Yukon, it was a bigfoot hunter or some thing

[long spade]

Badens go down like flies, can't keep up

[vivid cosmos]

Baden from cuatro made me almost sad to see him go, I like the rival arch

I was also going to say Yukon story is also great, it has a cutscene

[midnight moon]

The real Baden

[vivid cosmos]

it's a bit simple

[long spade]

Idk Quatro baden was kinda an ahole, dealt with too many people like him

[vivid cosmos]

I'd like for a reveal from the devs in which they tell us that a real guy name baden spurned them so they add him to each story in spite lol

[long spade]

I'm hoping there's a baden in sundarpatan

[vivid cosmos]

Most Baden are annoying from an outdoorsman point of view, The Youtuber Baden from Vurhonga who got pushed from a high bridge by a GHOST JACKAL

was annoying as well, the yoga instructor not knowing what she was doing but doing it with confidence, made me angry

[vivid cosmos]

me too

[long spade]

I worked with search and rescue in Tennessee for years, that's so common it's on bingo cards

[vivid cosmos]

there you go, they nailed for most of them, the entitled yet inexperienced and stupid, city guy that gets in trouble in the wilderness so the people who really know need to save them

It feels like the Devs had a personal vendetta against someone named Baden, but all of us know a real life "Baden"

Still I have very high hopes for the Sundarpatan Story missions

[long spade]

So far this has been true, but missing 2 common experiences. One a major injury that requires a helicopter rescue because of rafting off cliffs, and someone being reported lost only to be found in stupidly close quarters to a major road or ranger's cabin

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah but maybe the reason for that is that all Badens die lol

[long spade]

Also, there has been no "found naked on the ground whispering to trees because of suspicious mushrooms" badens

[finite wagon]

Still crazy to me that a Baden died to a LITERAL GHOST

Mountain lions and wolves? Yeah that makes sense

But a ghost jackal? Lol lmao skill issue

[vivid cosmos]

we defo need that one

[finite wagon]

Who wants to bet that a Baden gets eaten by a tiger in the Sundarpatan storyline

[vivid cosmos]

we have the puma lover one

[midnight moon]

They haven't done a baden in a while

[nocturne tundra]

baden?

[vivid cosmos]

From story side missions

[finite wagon]

Name for idiots in cotw storylines

[nocturne tundra]

AHH thx

[finite wagon]

So far theres been.... how many badens now?

3? 4? 5?

[long spade]

Have personally carried out a guy who swore that he'd broken his leg running from a Bigfoot in a 26 acre park

8 badens, 6 of which died

[finite wagon]

Oh.

[midnight moon]

How old are you?

[finite wagon]

I have yet to meet the other badens then

[dim saffron]

That’s bad

[long spade]

30

[dim saffron]

En it’s sad

[midnight moon]

Nice. I might do SAR one day

[dim saffron]

Nah i was being funny

[long spade]

It's.. . . An experience, be ready for incredible stupidity and bloody deaths if you do

[finite wagon]

If you're a Baden in COTW you are guaranteed two things according to The Prophecy™️

[vivid cosmos]

not on the OG maps but 2 Vurhonga and medved, 2 Parque and Yukon, 2 in cuatro colinas and SRP, I think I remember one in Mexico and one in the Awaroa

[dim saffron]

Gimma a gif jaxy’s tiger attack

Gimme

[midnight moon]

Both ok. Good for stories

[finite wagon]

• You're a clucking idiot
• You have only a 20% chance of dying of old age

[dim saffron]

Bad enough

Badenough

🙃😂

[finite wagon]

Dont have a gif but heres a video

Here i'll make it into a gif

[midnight moon]

Bloody lvl 5 reindeer. There are wolves everywhere

[finite wagon]

Two cotw tiger attack gifs are on the way!

[long spade]

You know whitewater rafters? The ones who cliff dive into rapids? We've had to look for parts along miles of river before

[dim saffron]

Iconic moment

[long spade]

I suppose we did get "high and lost" baden,te awaroa

Oh no

[vivid cosmos]

oh yeah

[midnight moon]

The last baden?

[dim saffron]

Tiger poacher

[vivid cosmos]

I do believe the Awaroa one was the last one

[long spade]

I just realized Nepal is the perfect "yeti seeing baden falls off a cliff and swears creature threw him" territory

[dim saffron]

He gonna get wooped by a yak

[midnight moon]

Hey a yeti in the story would be fun

There better be some maneater type thing in there though

[dim saffron]

I think it will be more into the poaching and conservation perspective

Issues

[vivid cosmos]

But we have the Yukon baden who was killed by a bear while looking for bigffoot

[dim saffron]

Retrieving snares and etc

Was he

Or a helicopter reached them

[long spade]

Hhas to be, maybe that's what Patricia meant about the southwest corner of the map

[vivid cosmos]

I'd like him to be chased by Yaks

[midnight moon]

Which would be more dry

[dim saffron]

What do you mean

[midnight moon]

I think she just meant she got murked by a tiger or two

[vivid cosmos]

is there another Baden after te Awaroa? or why do I have Cap in my previous message?

ª

[long spade]

" A huge and hairy beast with fierce red eyes attacked me, I fled for life. Go there and see the tracks for yourself. " proceeds to find one yak I'm a field that doesn't even care that you are there

[dim saffron]

Yak !A human

Guess i’le gore it

🫢

[midnight moon]

Lvl 5 reindeer troll, ofc

[vivid cosmos]

Yeti=Albino Yak?

[dim saffron]

Yeah

No

[dim saffron]

😫

I had a guaranteed troll two weeks ago

[long spade]

Various yeti tracks throughout the story end up leading yo to albino yak

[dim saffron]

387

Lvl 5

[vivid cosmos]

with a mean mean temper

[long spade]

It's like the medved bear, just badenized
Autocorrect sucks

[midnight moon]

I expected it. It wasn't huge

[finite wagon]

Ok I'm making the cotw tiger maul gifs 👍

[vivid cosmos]

What new Baden story could even be told

the HIgh and lost one

[dim saffron]

Hell yeah sikas deer hunt

[midnight moon]

There had better be a large amount of missions like old times

[long spade]

Wonder if I should keep a running tally on how many Tigers kill me before I get a diamond with the longbow?

[long spade]

Wish we could reset missions

[midnight moon]

A dim with longbow. Psychopath haha

[midnight moon]

Time to create a feedback thread

[long spade]

I will take my very first tiger diamond with the longbow, no matter how long it takes

Lions took me a year

[midnight moon]

Why is that tiger phasing through the air?

[midnight moon]

Intense. I always use a rifle for a first species dim tbh

[finite wagon]

Just how it was for the release date trailer

[finite bluff]

What’s everyone’s fav new species coming on sunderpatan

[long spade]

I'm stupid and stubborn in equal measure so I use the longbow

[midnight moon]

Tahr, tiger, snow leopard

[finite wagon]

https://youtu.be/DAifRBbQtfo?si=pSGfvqWbid7MbqiK where the clip is from

[midnight moon]

Jaxy jumped

[finite wagon]

@dim saffron heres the gifs lol

[midnight moon]

I've taken a few with the longbow, some with compound, some with handguns, most with rifles

[fading pendant]

"One of the most terrifying aspects we incorporated is the Bengal tiger’s sporadic growl when stalking you. Unlike other animal “calls” in our game, this growl can’t be pinpointed by the player. You can hear it, but you can’t figure out where it’s coming from" this is what i experience with most animals in all maps since a few patches back.

[midnight moon]

Wear headphones

[finite bluff]

Not going to lie I’m horrible with any bow

[midnight moon]

Practice and more practice. I don't even use zeroing anynore

[long spade]

I can use other weapons but my first diamond of each creature is with a longbow,and I can't make myself do more sensible things

[fading pendant]

thats not it, i turn to where a sound is coming from based on what I hear in my 160$ studio headphones (used to do audio mastering so yeah) and immediately after the visual cue is in a complete wrong direction from where audio is

ive played game for 5 years i noticed the change quite a while a go

[midnight moon]

So the visual and audio doesn't line up

[long spade]

Doesn't apply to birds tho, tried that and it was insanity

Even getting the pheasant was murder

[midnight moon]

Yes...gl with the bow in flight

[long spade]

I was like 500arrows in when I got the pheasant

[deep idol]

With the new tiger behavior, I'm excited to see some of my friends get to experience the fear of hunting that we had when Yukon first released with stampeding bison herds and relentless wolf packs.

[long spade]

Ah yes, the dozen wolves coming after you at a time and slow reloads because you didn't expect a swarm

[fading pendant]

amen! my Yukon strategy back then was to fly in my atv to the nearest tower, jump off while it was still moving and defend myself from the stairs!!

[peak cedar]

Yukon back in the day was a lot more terrifying than it is now

They should have never nerfed wolves

[deep idol]

That's exactly what we did. Got chased the whole way.

[fading pendant]

yukon early wolves where INSANE though. wolves can still be fierce, i had to kill a pack attaking me on the spain map

[deep idol]

I refused to hunt the west side of the map without friends lol

[long spade]

My strategy was carry the 12ga loaded with slugs

[midnight moon]

Too many snowflakes complained

[fading pendant]

thing is its not a horror game, its a chill hunting game. but imagine they do a proper dinosaur hunting game.. !! that would be cool

[long spade]

Ptsd moment. I had this happen when I was carrying nothing but the malmer7mm bolt action. I have a clip somewhere

[fading pendant]

people would know they are signing up to be terrified in thehunter dino edition (not the old crappy one)

[warm nexus]

Well, most of the dinosaurs were herbivores, iirc... And I'm pretty sure we think they are cold blooded?

They would honestly probably behave like monitor lizards, if that's the case.

Which aren't slow, but I would hardly call them fast either.

[long spade]

Ps4 game called carnivores, used to get chased by 2 carnos at a time while I was trying to shoot one of the duck billed things

[warm nexus]

Platypus?

[long spade]

Nah, the dinos

[warm nexus]

Oh.

Of all the insane animals in the world, the platypus has got to be in the top 10.

[long spade]

Oh cool, it git remastered for ps5

Why does my phone constantly replace got with git?

[warm nexus]

Are you a programmer?

[naive abyss]

It would be pretty sweet if EW made a dinosour or ice age style hunting game with trophy lodges and guns and all that kind of stuff to shoot them with.

[midnight moon]

Stop telling people to git gud

[warm nexus]

Tell autocorrect to git gud.

[long spade]

I'm barely tech literate, my only real skill is carpentry and gunsmithing

[warm nexus]

Oh neat. I do a bit of cabinet making (jewelry boxes, mostly; my next project is a side table, though).

[long spade]

My last project was a desk for my wife. She's drawing more these days

[warm nexus]

Neat. What style do you do?

My favorite style is mission.

Lots of mortises and tenons in my larger pieces. Dovetails in my boxes.

[long spade]

Uh,not any particular style I suppose, I used to make custom furniture so I just did what the customer ordered

[warm nexus]

Neat.

[long spade]

I guess if I actually had to pick, mission is the most satisfying

I realize how this sounds and I question my choices

I just mean that I enjoy the precise work that mortise and tenon takes more than just glue or hidden screws

[long spade]

Think I need to leave he server. . .

[warm nexus]

My dad had power tools, but decided they were all too dangerous, so he sold them all but the sander. I use his setup, so I do all my stuff by hand.

I completed that a few weeks ago.

[glad nacelle]

Why are we shooting platypuses

Platypi if you want me to be correct

[warm nexus]

Cause they have beaks!

Mammals aren't allowed to have beaks!

[long spade]

I usually put Pandora on in the background and just take my time doing fittings so it's nice and clean lines. Same for gunsmithing

[long spade]

I like this, I kinda wanna make a full size trunk like this

[warm nexus]

That would be cool.

[long spade]

It'd be heavy but I bet cedar would look awesome

Wait no, can't get red cedar here. Crap

[warm nexus]

Oak from wine barrels.

[long spade]

Wine barrels would be a little hard to find in Wyoming

[warm nexus]

I suppose it would be pricy to ship it in. I can get cedar here in MN.

[midnight moon]

#🦝︴off-topic

[long spade]

Fair

I wonder what the cosmetics will be?

[midnight moon]

Great question

[warm nexus]

I want animated cosmetics. Bonus points if they make noises with the animations, lol.

[midnight moon]

Keep forgetting cosmetics exist

[long spade]

I love swapping ou the wood coloration, but the fact that I can't customize the scope bothers me

[midnight moon]

They did tents and stuff, should happen sometime

And, I hate raccoon dogs

[long spade]

Feelings mutual

[midnight moon]

3 new games, no legendaries. Wtf

[long spade]

I love raccoon dogs, one of the best small predators. Tibetan fox will be the only rival

[midnight moon]

You love them now?

[long spade]

Oh I meant they hate you too. Personally my favorite small predator

[midnight moon]

Why?

[long spade]

Somebody needs to ask flinter about the cosmetics

[long spade]

This

[midnight moon]

Because they troll?

[long spade]

I need to hunt raccoon dogs again

[midnight moon]

It's my last missing non small game dim animal

[long spade]

The only one I don't have is bobcat I think

[midnight moon]

Got that one 2 days ago lol

Then two lagomorphs and quite a few birds

[long spade]

Longbow makes my life misery but I'm too stubborn to give up and use a rifle

[midnight moon]

True....hmm a lvl 5 female and lvl 2 male, weird rng

[obsidian mist]

What’s best map for red deer farm

[royal cliff]

New Zealand

[stray basalt]

Definitely Te Awaroa, crawl around the northern lakes and you’ll find infinite red deer.

[obsidian mist]

Sweet just bought it for a red deer farm

[dim saffron]

thank you

I put it in my favorites

EPIC

[lone tulip]

how much will it be in CAD currency? whenever it comes out

the map

[dim saffron]

maybe 15$

[lone tulip]

goddamn

[dim saffron]

yeah

[lone tulip]

might be worth it

[dim saffron]

but it sure is worth the buy

[glacial summit]

That's not that much

[dim saffron]

compared to let's say some other maps

Not that they weren't great

but the hype and animals of Sundarpatan ARE LIT

[lone tulip]

hopefully i’m able to get it genuinely cannot wait for release

[obtuse vapor]

Wait is sundarpatan not the usual 7 dollars?

[uneven bloom]

Game development is expensive

[obtuse vapor]

Fair enough

How much is it going to be?

[uneven bloom]

$11.99 USD

[obtuse vapor]

Ok thanks

[royal cliff]

Honestly I'm shocked they kept the map prices the way they where for so long, I thought when Aus came out that they would raise it.

$12USD is still more then fair tho

[ripe cobalt]

I just realized this is only the 2nd dlc map with no base game animals. After vurhonga.

Every other map has red deer, Whitetail, moose, or black bear.

[uneven bloom]

oh heck you're right

[vivid cosmos]

I wanted to disagree but couldnt

[west wadi]

They ducked inflation well

[bitter matrix]

One thing to also think about on this map, this is the first map in the game with two big beef species🙏❤️

[ripe cobalt]

Is it the first with 2 class 9s? It's definitely the first with 3.

Oh y, vurhonga again

[bitter matrix]

This map will probably have more class 9 than any other map, Tiger, Yak, and Waterbuffalo, but after that the only thing in between small and large will be the nilgai, everything else will be class 5 and below but I think nilgai will come in at 7 or 8

[warm nexus]

The tiger leap is animated a bit funny. It looks like it's jumping over you.

You should just see the top of the head get really close before blackout.

[ripe cobalt]

My 7mm will be put to the test here.

I wonder if the remodel will change the way I can shoot water buffalo.

[vivid cosmos]

looks like it's aiming for the neck, which is common behavior

[dire grail]

It looked smooth

[warm nexus]

Neck, vs throat?

[ripe cobalt]

Right now I can't reliability hit lung on broadside. I have to alert them and go under the neck for the heart.

[dire grail]

Really nice animation now if only they could go back and fix older models

[warm nexus]

If it was going for the neck, wouldn't it charge from behind?

[dire grail]

Not a requirement

If I was out to comit death and was spotted that wouldn’t change where the vitals are

[midnight moon]

And their new rifle doesn't even do class 9

[dire grail]

But it’s cool

Smooth and the animation is fast

[thick meadow]

We have a thread going on trying to change the new rifle to include class 9 https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1247588310633938986

well a lot of us arguing in there for it

Hopefully we can get the devs to change their mind on the decision

[midnight moon]

Hmm

[thick meadow]

It's crazy that they decided to do 4-8 class when everyone will be wanting to use a gun for the map that can take a class 9

[uneven bloom]

the intent of the thread is more of "we need more variety than the endless deluge of 4-8's"

[midnight moon]

Should've been a .375

[subtle echo]

The martini Henry thing is cool, but should be like 6-9

Maybe 5-9

[midnight moon]

It has slighter more power than a 45 70 so it should be

[subtle echo]

Yea

[bitter matrix]

I said it once and I’ll say it again, they hunted tigers with weird bullets and still killed them back in the day, now the ammunition is much more refined and we could even have hollow point, if they could shoot them with lesser versions of the gun back in the day why can’t we shoot them with an improved version today?

[royal cliff]

I'm happy so many people are being vocal about this 😁😁

If it is 4-9 at launch then it'll definitely be my go to for nepal and even Africa

[bitter matrix]

I really think with all the chatter it’ll be 4-9 by early access

[royal cliff]

If not it'll definitely change with an update

If not then my steam review will make it clear

[bitter matrix]

I really think with the exclusivity of the leopard and the tiger the only way to really walk away with a W for ew rn is to change them by launch

Otherwise this update isn’t much better than any other, just another massive map to scrub for hours, I also think if tahr don’t drink this update will die as fast as it blew up

[royal cliff]

Wonder if they'll just include this for the scope setup or if they'll give it a unique one like the .50 Caplock

[bitter matrix]

But I have hope, I wanna see good things here so I think they’ll accept their mistake and fix the rifle soon enough

But it wouldn’t be uncharacteristic of EW to just say screw us and leave it

[uneven bloom]

Feed zone hunting is perfectly viable.

takes a bit more effort to find them, to be fair, but that's the fun part

[bitter matrix]

But all the big CCs won’t like that

[uneven bloom]

We'll have to wait and see

[bitter matrix]

And that energy reverberates through the community sadly

[bitter matrix]

Yep

[royal cliff]

When I'm grinding deer I always go by drink or feed zones

[bitter matrix]

Feed zones for me are just another beast, but then again I have issues finding good lanes for most of my feed zones, they’re just in the middle of the woods 9/10

[royal cliff]

Find need zones, setup tents and hunting blinds/tripods

Stay in the blinds/tripod to avoid creating hunting pressure when you down animals

[bitter matrix]

I do drink zones like a normal person🤣 like I said, I hate feed zones because of lack of lanes

[uneven bloom]

Feed zones are the secret to success on Hirschfelden and Mississippi.

[bitter matrix]

Mississippi is another story now
