[left adder]

what u hunting?

[midnight moon]

Man I would rather jump off something really tall than move to Texas

[glad nacelle]

If it’s 35 you go 40 if it’s 40 you go 50 if it’s 50 you go 60

[west wadi]

Precisely

[midnight moon]

Ptarmigan, hare, raccoon dog. Couldn't tell you how many I've killed

[glad nacelle]

Hey you be nice its nice here 😭

[left adder]

Ill try hunt racoon dogs lol

[glad nacelle]

I like my cows,cactus, and corn

[left adder]

i might start

[west wadi]

The Midwestern speed limit is ten above

Everything's too far spaced out to go any slower

[midnight moon]

Trying to get dimes of all 3. No max lvls yet, otherwise I'm forcing spawns

[glad nacelle]

That’s how it is here pretty much and if you go slow in the right lane we will road rage and you will never know unless someone finally gets sick of you

[left adder]

you hunt racoon dog drink zones?

[glad nacelle]

Right lane=speed left=the actual limit

[west wadi]

Left lane is the fast lane for us

[glad nacelle]

See you got it right there

Idk what they got in Cali

But these people

HMMMMM

yall can’t drive

[midnight moon]

I was doing that...but it's very painful for that species

[left adder]

that sucks

[glad nacelle]

When I’m in my manual jeep and I see a Cali license plate on a mom van and this women JUST KEEPS PUMPING THE BRAKES AND DOESNT LET ME GET OVER I SWARE TO GOD

As you can see personal experience ✨

[midnight moon]

Real

I’m from Colorado originally so do not fret

[midnight moon]

And more efficient to do day hunting for all 3 species

[left adder]

thats true

[midnight moon]

Just nailed a flock of 6 ptarmigan

[left adder]

no way really?

[glad nacelle]

Send the clip

[midnight moon]

What clip haha

[glad nacelle]

ohhhh your on pc aren’t you

Well you can’t prove it then

Not possible

[midnight moon]

Xbox

[glad nacelle]

Can you not record past moments like ps?

[midnight moon]

Too late. Stood there for too long. I have "record that"

So can't prove it

[glad nacelle]

I’ll take your word for it

But on console I can record like a whole past 60 mins

[left adder]

fr

its great

i caught some crazy snipes with it

[midnight moon]

Idk how to do it rn. I can record for 60, record that is up to 1 min I think

Tigerrrr

I wonder what level distribution will be for them

Next time then...i did it earlier as well. When theyre in the open it's easier

[glad nacelle]

9 legendary I can imagine

[midnight moon]

Class 9, up to 9 legendary

I mean like how many 1-4 5-7 8 9 there will be

[left adder]

yeah

i wonder what the ratios of gender spacing will be

[glad nacelle]

Idk man I’d be thankful to have a 7-8 mythic with how many can even be in my map

And than to imagine a rare one

I can’t wait

[midnight moon]

Mmmm yes

[misty fulcrum]

I want a Mela one

[midnight moon]

I’m gonna grind so manyyy

[left adder]

I hope both males and females can make Diamond

[midnight moon]

that would be amazing

[left adder]

yeah smae with sow leopads

[midnight moon]

Male and female tiger mount would be so nice

[left adder]

Asian Royalty Mount

[midnight moon]

YES

[left adder]

Or a tiger vs Lion

that would be so cool

I hope there is a new MAIN/BIG mount like Breadwinner or Bye son siszed

[glad nacelle]

Just let me remove this rail✨😭

[midnight moon]

Definitely

Tiger stalking water buffalo

[left adder]

FR bro it ruins the gun sight

[left adder]

What about Asian Breadwinner, that would be sick

[midnight moon]

A snow leopard and Tibetan fox multi would slap

[midnight moon]

Tigers aren’t usually in groups or it would slap

[left adder]

or Sundarpatan Grandslam
Tiger, Yak, NIlgai, Snow LEopard

[glad nacelle]

Like I’m not gonna miss

But still

[left adder]

the sight would be so much better

[midnight moon]

Definitely

[left adder]

Over-unders are so cool

[glad nacelle]

I have a really nice one like my side by side but just have a preference on side by sides

[left adder]

nice

[glad nacelle]

I think for shooting longer ranges there a must tbh but fast quick shots I like my sxs

[left adder]

Saiga 12 when?

[glad nacelle]

😂

I’ve seen some used to kill drones so I think it’d get the job done

[midnight moon]

What’s that

[glad nacelle]

Over under shotgun

[left adder]

Over under shotgun

[lethal karma]

so i was thinking for a tiger mount, it could be a male and female with the make hokding the females tail in his mouth or she could be laying down behind him and he could be standing in front of her growling

[glad nacelle]

The shotgun with stacked barrels

[midnight moon]

Ooooo

[midnight moon]

That would be so cool

[lethal karma]

Mhm 🥺

[warm nexus]

Tigers mating mount ftw.

[left adder]

I want a Nilgai mount

[lethal karma]

Bro no

[left adder]

lets keep it kid friendl

We draw the line at slaughtering animals

not forcing their corpses to do unholy things

[warm nexus]

Roflmao

[midnight moon]

Me too

[glad nacelle]

I just wanna see two tigers cuddling

[midnight moon]

REAL

AWWW

that’s a wholesome multi

[left adder]

Nilgai should be backfilled to Rancho it would be sick, and Tahr to NZ, what else

[midnight moon]

Definitely

Although if they would be ghostly as the pronghorn tho I don’t see much of a point

[left adder]

yeah

[midnight moon]

But nilgai would help restore ranchos lost charm

[bitter matrix]

I don’t think anything can restore that lost charm

[left adder]

lmao fr

mate what happend to ur boost role

[midnight moon]

I have 3 trophy bobcat I never need to go back

[bitter matrix]

You hop in for an hour excited to see what you get then without fail you just end up getting frustrated and moving to a better map

[left adder]

Interesting how nilgai are mainly in himal and pahad not terai, thats what i could tell from trailer

[bitter matrix]

I mean when cuatro has pheasant the only thing I go to rancho for is javelina

[midnight moon]

I need a diamond javelina

[left adder]

I remember being disapointed that Aoudad werent in Rancho

I think it would be cool if half eyarly the devs give us some backfilled animals or new species on old maps to hold us over for the new map in a year time

[bitter matrix]

Leucistic is better than a dime imo

[midnight moon]

True that

[bitter matrix]

They used to do this but this entire update has been very unconventional for them

[left adder]

yeah

do u remember the Greater Kudu thing

that sucked

[midnight moon]

Idk how not to sound like an ass but… there isn’t much

[bitter matrix]

Well they did the pheasant and back filled it to cuatro and hirsch

They did the wolves on medved another update

[left adder]

yeah

[midnight moon]

Is more backfilled species too much to ask?

[left adder]

aalso #🦌︴general is cured we can go b ack

[bitter matrix]

I don’t think so

[left adder]

nah its safe again unless we r talking abotu sundarpatsn

[bitter matrix]

Jaxy said that they DO want to back fill tahr to Te

[left adder]

they said they will in a later update

[glad nacelle]

I wonder how much work that is

[midnight moon]

Yeah but WHY not now we waited way to long to even get this map and it feels that all their effort went into

[bitter matrix]

Not too much, but I understand not doing it rn

If they added the tahr to Te rn all the GO grinders wouldn’t want to buy the new map

[midnight moon]

One update had backfilled species to every map minus SRP and I think REV

[bitter matrix]

So they did it for sales

[midnight moon]

Kinda assholey

[languid wedge]

That's almost minimum 3 even is min

[left adder]

it would be a lot because of home ranges coding and stuff

[midnight moon]

True too

[left adder]

thats true

[glad nacelle]

My thing is if that’s the case why not give me quail in srp

[left adder]

the lakes that yaks drink at look so fun to hunt

[bitter matrix]

Help I have arachnophobia😭🙏

[glad nacelle]

Bobwhites and scaled quail are common in Colorado

[midnight moon]

Literally

[left adder]

i can relate (im aussie)

[glad nacelle]

Honey get me the hairspray and a lighter

[midnight moon]

That’s just a wolf spider

[bitter matrix]

He dead

[midnight moon]

Completely harmless and will eat the bugs in your room

Nvm

[bitter matrix]

I just shot him with a pellet gun

[midnight moon]

He’s dead

[peak cedar]

Just eat spider

[bitter matrix]

I friggin hate spiders😭

[peak cedar]

Extra protein in the diet

[midnight moon]

Yum

[glad nacelle]

Hey guys

[midnight moon]

I have so many questions

[bitter matrix]

I almost lost my cat Kevin to a brown recluse, already had arachnophobia but it caused some serious mental damage

[midnight moon]

Tf are we dismantling for one

[glad nacelle]

Also what😭

[midnight moon]

Oh no I’m sorry

[left adder]

that sared me

[left adder]

rip

[languid wedge]

Best outpost in the game

[glad nacelle]

Rip Kevin I’ll pour the catnip for him

[midnight moon]

Not rip Kevin lived

[glad nacelle]

how would we know😭

Oh he said almost lost

[midnight moon]

Yeah…

[glad nacelle]

I instantly read it as he did😭

[bitter matrix]

This is how we know he’s alive

[glad nacelle]

Omg Kevin’s adorable

He has a very kissable face

Does he have orange zoomies or no

[bitter matrix]

Yes

[glad nacelle]

Otherwise known as orange cat symptoms

Awwwe

[bitter matrix]

He’s a handful

[midnight moon]

Not a single brain cell in that organism

[glad nacelle]

Nah man orange cats are the best

You’ve seen that picture a million times

[bitter matrix]

He’s also an award winner, he’s been featured in 8 international calendars

[glad nacelle]

But it’s my fav of him

[midnight moon]

-1 brain cell in that one

[glad nacelle]

😂

[bitter matrix]

You see, there is one thing Potter did not account for

All orange cats must have a black and white bestie

[midnight moon]

Damn, crazy

[glad nacelle]

A younger version of me with the same cat

[midnight moon]

@languid wedge got a question for you

[bitter matrix]

We should prolly get back to chatting about the map

[glad nacelle]

The maps great but I wants birds

[midnight moon]

You look like you’d be on Pinterest in 2020 in the most polite way

[glad nacelle]

Screw the geese no one likes them

[glad nacelle]

Yk what I get it

Truthfully I use Pinterest for ceramics 😂

[midnight moon]

Ykw real

[glad nacelle]

I was also 14-15 in that photo I think

A bit has changed since then

[bitter matrix]

If it was a new geese species than I’d be down, but just another backfill is diabolical😭

[midnight moon]

My ex never unfollowed me on Pinterest -1 million aura

[glad nacelle]

I would be fine if it was the new geese

[midnight moon]

And has a board for their new partner -1 billion aura

[glad nacelle]

But it’s not

[bitter matrix]

You checked to see if they did, -1 billion aura

[midnight moon]

You're diabolical mate

[glad nacelle]

😂

[midnight moon]

OMG THEY FINALLY DID

A GOOD DAY INDEED

[bitter matrix]

My iPhone is homophobic, I write they and it corrects me to he or she😭🙏

[glad nacelle]

Who can relate

[midnight moon]

You’re 100% right and I hate you for it

[midnight moon]

BAHAHAHAHA HELP

[glad nacelle]

It knows best😂

[fading halo]

I agree with your iPhone

[midnight moon]

Can we not get into identity politics please

Quickest way to get me to dip

[bitter matrix]

I think we should all try to procure a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, that’s all I will say about that.

[glad nacelle]

Guys listen I identify as a grilled cheese sandwich and go by either grill or cheddar

[bitter matrix]

Anyways

[glad nacelle]

Anyways

[midnight moon]

ONG

[bitter matrix]

Muntjac

[midnight moon]

Out here nailing moose with .270...

[midnight moon]

I hope they get blue not red eyes

[glad nacelle]

Ehhhhhh

I’m scared of it

I forgot they had weird scent glands

[midnight moon]

Me too tbh

[bitter matrix]

I’m sad they didn’t add the weird air pockets to their faces

[glad nacelle]

Ahhhh I can’t stop thinking about them

[fading halo]

That’s my favorite subject

[bitter matrix]

They are called alien deer because of those patches and EW just thinks the patches don’t exist😭🙏

[fading halo]

Y’all can’t say cap to a favorite thing

It’s called a opinion

[glad nacelle]

https://youtube.com/shorts/XBsoPnx2hSM?si=H35bOFF1NRHEGbCA

[lethal karma]

U see them open up whenever u get a warning call from one 😂

[glad nacelle]

Uhhhhhhg

[bitter matrix]

They do!?!? I’ve looked closely and see no pockets

[glad nacelle]

I don’t wanna look at them then

[midnight moon]

Please

[glad nacelle]

It’s just gross

[lethal karma]

Look up videos of em, they do 😂😭

[glad nacelle]

And creepy😭

[glad nacelle]

Look at the link I sent

[bitter matrix]

Gold nilgai

[midnight moon]

Call me a muntjac! That’s all I will say

[glad nacelle]

https://youtube.com/shorts/XBsoPnx2hSM?si=H35bOFF1NRHEGbCA @bitter matrix

[midnight moon]

Would be a sick uncommon

[glad nacelle]

I’d rather you be Kevin

[bitter matrix]

Oh I know, I just thought you meant they do it in game, But I don’t think they do

[glad nacelle]

I really hope not

[lethal karma]

Oh, no they dont do it in game

[bitter matrix]

They should😭🙏

[glad nacelle]

That is a real feature I want them to leave out😂

[lethal karma]

I meant itd be funny if they did lmao

[glad nacelle]

NOO😭

[midnight moon]

Literally

[bitter matrix]

Should’ve at least added visible pockets😭🙏

[midnight moon]

We waited a year

I want my muntjacs to scent

[glad nacelle]

You see them smelling something and all of a sudden those pockets open and im just like euhhhg no

[lethal karma]

XD

[glad nacelle]

😂

[languid wedge]

?

[fading halo]

I’m about to bang this bangtan

I got a free shot

[bitter matrix]

Free tan? Sign me up!

And you say it’s bangin, big bet

[midnight moon]

Let’s not bang the bangtan please

That’s illegal

[fading halo]

Bang him with the gun I mean

I got a free shot from behind

[bitter matrix]

Whats a Bangtan?

[midnight moon]

Your not helping ur case

Bantang

Why did I forget

[bitter matrix]

Banteng*^

[fading halo]

Bro u know what I mean

[midnight moon]

Thanks

[midnight moon]

Your the one saying odd stuff 🙏

[fading halo]

No im not bro

[midnight moon]

👴🏻

[midnight moon]

Do I have to shoot the whole flock of ptarmigan to get respawns?

[languid wedge]

It's really a unknown

[bitter matrix]

I’ve come to find that you do not

But that’s my opinion

[midnight moon]

I see...well I've been killing all in sight anyway

[bitter matrix]

The ptar just spawn in slow

[fading halo]

Atleast I have good penetration

[glad nacelle]

Can I get that on the new map

Is that the new vehicle?

[fading halo]

It will work good on the bangtan

[bitter matrix]

They work like geese, you might have to restart your map to get the respawn

[uneven bloom]

ATBison

😂

[midnight moon]

@languid wedge I've murdered maybe 90 this afternoon

[bitter matrix]

Hey, if you got a tent that’s no issue

[fading halo]

Did y’all know if u click new game it gives better diamond spawns

[long spade]

3x fixed scope for the .470 KingDB please, it would make it so much more huntable

[glad nacelle]

My friend and I last Friday

@midnight moon

[fading halo]

High penetration

[bitter matrix]

I have more hours than some CCs, I’ve restarted 14 times all time, I’m aware

[languid wedge]

Damn

[midnight moon]

I did know this...wish it worked better for coon dog

[midnight moon]

WHERE IS THIS LMAO

[glad nacelle]

That’s on New England

I also sent the bison mobile

[midnight moon]

That sounds so fun I need more friends 😭😭

[lethal karma]

Instructions unclear, my game is no longer on my xbox 😦

[glad nacelle]

😭

[bitter matrix]

do I need to help you for this coon dog?

[midnight moon]

Yeah man, not to mention coon dog and mt hare

[fading halo]

Why u sleeping with a goat

[glad nacelle]

I hope you didn’t do that one lol

[midnight moon]

I almost just trauma dumped

[lethal karma]

I didnt 😂

[midnight moon]

I’m a mess rn sorry gang 😭

[midnight moon]

Possibly...you're on xbox

[fading halo]

Yes

[bitter matrix]

And so is my gfs account, her rev is untouched she might let us hunt it👀

[glad nacelle]

Sir

Those are raccoons

[fading halo]

That’s a big racoon

[glad nacelle]

Dennis

Go find your glasses

[midnight moon]

BAHAHAHA

[midnight moon]

Damn. Well I'm ganna switch to drink time and see if ones there forst

[glad nacelle]

I bet you left them on the toilet or the sink

[fading halo]

Hm

[bitter matrix]

Gotchu, lmk and I’ll ask her to see if she’s cool wit it

[glad nacelle]

I say those 2 things because that’s relatable to me😂

[vivid cosmos]

So, on Tuesday it’s just GO info?

[bitter matrix]

Yes and no

We might get some more sneak peaks but I dunno what’s left to be shown tbh

[midnight moon]

That'd be 4 populations with no 9s if there isn't one this time

Maybe a mini hunt

[bitter matrix]

I have belief

[midnight moon]

I nailed a bunch in the day...so surely...

[bitter matrix]

Took me about 27 MP sessions to find my albino banteng so I feel your pain

Out of those I checked the full pop on at least 15 of those

[midnight moon]

Reminds me of the albino wolf

Dims aren't as rare as albinos though

[bitter matrix]

Albino wolf wasn’t bad for me got one at 350 kill in, took me over 5k to get an egg white tho

[midnight moon]

Dream rare after mela red fox

[bitter matrix]

Took me around 10k wolves over two years to get my male red brown😭🙏

[arctic pond]

Where can I find that place?

[midnight moon]

Crazy

Red brown used to be more common

[bitter matrix]

I’ve never seen a dark grey tho, not even in a lodge

[glad nacelle]

New England

[midnight moon]

I have 2 now XD

[arctic pond]

Which outpost?

[midnight moon]

… 😭

What does dark gray look like

[bitter matrix]

I don’t even know

Some say it’s the worst rare in the game

I just know that I’ve never seen one

[midnight moon]

That's a rare? Probably killed one and didn't even notice

[bitter matrix]

Probably not tbh

They are as rare as albino and mela

(So I’ve heard)

[midnight moon]

Seems that way...

I have too many egg whites and melas

[bitter matrix]

I guess this is a dark gray

I can see how you might be able to tell but at the same time… it looks no different

[midnight moon]

How very awesome looking

[bitter matrix]

It really is just one of those niche accomplishment trophies

[midnight moon]

Definitely

Dream multimount for this map

I’d take snow leopard and fox

[glad nacelle]

Retz notch hut

[dusk sapphire]

Any more official intel on the actual number of snow leopards per map, other than "less than tigers"?

[glad nacelle]

I truthfully don’t think so but if there’s even less they are elusive as hell

[midnight moon]

Probs 8

[gentle shale]

Why dont ppl like mississpi . The forests on the east side are really pretty and plenty if turkey bear and whitetail

[midnight moon]

#🦌︴general

[midnight moon]

I know, the lush and marshes and swampy areas make it a better map than most

[stray basalt]

I love Mississippi. Top 5 map. But it needs more small game. Mallards, Coyotes, Bobcats, etc.

[midnight moon]

Yes

[left adder]

I think we will get a full trailer on tuesday

[midnight moon]

We already did no?

[left adder]

technically that was a date reveal trailer

not full trailer

[midnight moon]

Hmmmm okay okay

[left adder]

but none of the trailers match up too much

its not raelly that simple to predict them

its odd though

[gentle shale]

Tuesday is all about great one tahr no?

[left adder]

yeah

but im talking about the possibility of a trailer releasing a few hours befroe

[gentle shale]

Doubt it i think we aleeady got all

[left adder]

we alr have a couple trailers yes

but none are specifically a main trailer, but i think the date reveal one pretty much is the main trailer

[gentle shale]

I think ill start ignoring the discord till release no more spoilers and i think with the cc weekend it will explode

[left adder]

yeah im not gonna watch any content creatiorn ones

maybe scarecrows but thats it

[gentle shale]

Kinda stumped they showed alm the rare tiger furs arlready

[glacial flame]

It was definitely interesting they decided to do that

I don’t think we’ve ever been shown all the rares for a new species before

Maybe it was to get people excited about the potential of what they could find when hunting them tho, seeing as they’re much rarer than other animals

[glad nacelle]

Hi mell

[glacial flame]

Hiiii

[glad nacelle]

How’s the rabbits coming

It 2:40 ish am and it’s late so if I can’t type well that’s why😭

[glacial flame]

If you mean mountain hare…I haven’t been hunting those 👀 tho I know eventually I’ll be headed back to Revontuli 😭😂

[glad nacelle]

😂😂

[glacial flame]

Lolll understandable 😭😂

[glad nacelle]

I’ve been trying to hunt but I’ve learned a valuable lesson of if I cannot text on discord and hunt

It’s not possible

My adhd can multi task

But that level is too high

You unlock that at level 160 I’m like lv100

On the adhd scale

[left adder]

yo wsg mel

[glacial flame]

Lol I am always checking discord when on cotw to see what’s going on 😭 but tbh I could probably play cotw with my eyes closed at this point

[left adder]

||hows the early access fr||

[glacial flame]

Hi!!

[pearl harbor]

The turkey bears are so elusive though...

[glacial flame]

I can tell you- I’m beyond excited to share the content I’m prepping 👀
(Scared as always hoping it’ll be good, but super super excited to share!)

[left adder]

I have no doubt it will not just be good, im sure it will be superblky amazing

[glacial flame]

🖤 thank you so much! I always stress about stuff like this- don’t want to disappoint those who are kind enough to support! 🙈

[left adder]

lol literally dont worry, just play the game and show us, ur videos are always really good for in depth looks at stuff other content creators dont really show

[glad nacelle]

I didn’t even know you were a content creator 😂

[glacial flame]

Thank you! I shall try not to worry aha. I can definitely relate to Jaxy right now- not being able to say anything is so hard!!

[left adder]

I can guess

Im so glued to the cotw discord right now

[glad nacelle]

Just thought you were a cool person okay

[glacial flame]

I’m actually just a huge nerd so that’s totally reasonable

[left adder]

I have an essay i desperateyl need to do but im too busy wasting time on here lol

[glad nacelle]

Hey nothing wrong with being a nerd, I nerd out about all sorts of things.

[glacial flame]

Thank you!! 😊

[glad nacelle]

My name says what I am and I could nerd out on potter forever but I don’t 😂

[left adder]

fr bro, i literally memorised all animal scores and weights and stuff in this game lmao and in lots more games

istead of memorising things for schoolwork 💀

[glad nacelle]

@left adder @glacial flame what are the things that you hyperfixate on/ you have an obsession with

[glad nacelle]

I memorized a lot of that but for the animals I hunt lol

[glacial flame]

Exactly nerds are cool 😎 (but seriously tho I am just a massive cotw nerd and somehow I’m now lucky enough to be here lol)

[glad nacelle]

I forget a lot of stuff now

I’m new again somewhat it’s weird coming back from a Break

[left adder]

My country(s 🇷🇺 ), Games, guns, histroy, other stuff

[left adder]

I think it works out in favour of your channel style though

[glacial flame]

Animals in general, biology, cotw, hunting, science in general…😭🙈

[left adder]

same bro

[glad nacelle]

😂

[left adder]

and dinosaurs, lots and lots of dinosaurs

[glad nacelle]

Oooooo talk to me about the biology

What kind

[glacial flame]

I definitely think it helps with that for sure!

[glad nacelle]

I love virology

[glad nacelle]

Bro who doesn’t

[fading halo]

#🦝︴off-topic

[glacial flame]

Osteology is my favourite, skulls and bones are neat as heck

Which is also why I’d love to see skull mounts for cotw lol

[glad nacelle]

I’ve found that fun when studying in school too but generally I love viruses there so fascinating

[glad nacelle]

😂

[glacial flame]

Imagine a freaking tiger skull mount in the lodge tho

How cool would that be?!

[glad nacelle]

See that’d be cool

[left adder]

there is kidna on in the ECA sanctuary outpost

[glad nacelle]

I’d like a red deer skull mount that’s just me

[left adder]

i think it may have been an easter egg to SUNDARpatans

[midnight moon]

You want some euro mounts

[left adder]

ok i need to hop off now cya guys!

[glacial flame]

Yeah there’s a few skulls in game and every time I see one I’m like plz, plz let us have these in our lodges lol

[glacial flame]

See ya!

[glad nacelle]

Seya brother have a good night

[glad nacelle]

😂

[glacial flame]

Definitely

[glad nacelle]

I wish we could customize the interior of lodges

I feel like you’d make your lodge like a gothic castle with skulls everywhere Mel

[glacial flame]

See that would be super cool. I definitely think with this map coming, a new lodge is needed soon

The ones we have just don’t quite match up anymore

[midnight moon]

Most hunters here seem to do skulls and not a proper taxidermy

[glad nacelle]

They’ll probably get to it eventually

[glad nacelle]

It’s cheaper

[glacial flame]

yes

[glad nacelle]

I don’t have 300-500$

[glacial flame]

And if we get stuff like hippos…

A hippo skull mount…

[glad nacelle]

With ducks you can freeze them till summer for cheaper rates

But generally taxidermy is expensive

[glacial flame]

Definitely and the higher quality stuff is so worth it but definitely expensive aha

[midnight moon]

Ain't nobody got money for that these days

[glad nacelle]

I’ve asked for them I think with the addition of large game it may be the time to start doing even more bigger and dangerous animals

[glad nacelle]

Hell no

[glacial flame]

I totally agree

[glad nacelle]

I have a 10 pointer I boiled till it was clean than washed again and generally it’s just better

@midnight moon

Like I’d rather do that

Than be like yeah hey here 500$ mount this deer

It’s just not worth it

I wanted to mount the bufflehead I shot

But that’s like 200

[glad nacelle]

I’m calling it a night Mel but hope you have a good one good luck on your videos and stuff

AND KEEP BEING A NERD😂

[glacial flame]

Thank you so so much! Have a good night! 😊

[glacial flame]

Always

[midnight moon]

I got a 10 as well

[bitter matrix]

Where is everyone, we got a lot to yak about

[worldly shard]

GIME

NAW

[bitter matrix]

I mean, it’s still early but shoot I’ll call it, 9 days until Sundarpatan

[worldly shard]

I LOVE THE ALBINO YAK

[gentle shale]

An expert confirmed they look the part

[timber juniper]

The dog is also excited for the new map

[raven sigil]

MAP

NOW

[minor shadow]

Please add a MultiMount Called “OH MY!” 1 Male African Lion, 1 Male Bengal Tiger, 1 Male Grizzly Bear/Brown Bear/Black Bear, and 1 Male Mountain Lion/Puma

[midnight moon]

New achievements/trophies on sundarpatan?

[wintry laurel]

why so long sundarpatan releases

[bitter matrix]

Because they like to play with our emotions😭🙏

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

[midnight moon]

Shut up doug

[bitter matrix]

I am only speaking facts😪

[midnight moon]

Haha true story

These damn waterfowl rn though

[wintry laurel]

anyone could help me get a female merriam turkey rare for a multitrophy?

[midnight moon]

#🦌︴find-a-game

[empty sleet]

Do we know what time they usually release updates?

[wintry laurel]

only thing ik abt sundarpatan is that it comes 18.6.2024

[bitter matrix]

It depends on where you are, I’m American central and it’s prolly gonna be no earlier than 4 am but no later than 9 am on the 18th

My estimates are based off previous release times*^

[empty sleet]

So they don't do local midnight releases, gotcha.

[bitter matrix]

Hit it on the head, universal releases ova here

[empty sleet]

I'd prefer local midnight, hahaha.

[bitter matrix]

I think we’d all prefer that but then again, some ppl like me will probably be up all night and maybe even streaming when launch happens

[empty sleet]

Naturally

Lol

[bitter matrix]

And we don’t want others to have access when others don’t ya know, that’s why there’s early access

[night trench]

Xxxxxxxxxxxxl plaque

[keen belfry]

Something random I just realized; with this map coming up, and with the ten new species, we now have 98 animals, which means two away from reaching triple digit numbers

[bitter matrix]

To think there was a time where there was less than 50 animals

[minor shadow]

Still hope Tigers and Snow Leopards will have need Zones just give each Tiger in Saddle leopard multiple need zones each that way just adds to the elusiveness, still go every animal needs to eat drink and rest! For Example, 1 Tiger or Snow Leopard could have Multi-able Drink zones

[night trench]

If you consider puma and mountain lion and wild hog and feral pig as seperate species we will have 100 species

[ripe cobalt]

I hope they have invisible zones if they have them at all. It would be a let down if all I had to do was find a track and follow it backwards to a zone then change the time. That's too easy.

I kinda hope they don't even leave tracks.

[mild sierra]

😜

[open grotto]

Oh gosh

[jovial spade]

More like a zoo for tigers

Caging the people like that is crazy

[turbid wind]

When iss this map coming out

[proper wedge]

June 18th

[split agate]

I am sure they will have at least feeding and resting zones. THe game needs zones to move the animals around the map. (They are the target the animals move to once it is time) If they have no zones, they don't go anywhere.

[tidal delta]

by far my fav fox so far

[waxen bluff]

like an uncle after 5 beers

[peak cedar]

Literally nobody considers them separate 😭

And if you do you smell

[peak cedar]

Something about a tiger having zones. If I get too close then they go aggressive towards the hunter. Sounds way more lame and dull than

Tigers roaming the map 24/7 and if they spot…the hunt is on!

[vivid cosmos]

yeah need zones will make them the opposite of elusive... I think elusive is never knowing where they are

[peak cedar]

I mean tbf we don’t know because EW has called plenty of species in the past “elusive” like sika on TA for example

[vivid cosmos]

i hope they have hidden zones like animals in classic, like a tiger just starts resting where ever it is at a specific time

or if it passes near water it could drink for a little bit of time

[peak cedar]

I’d find it very stupid if they gave them standard rest and feed zones and didn’t give them drinks zones since that’s a majority of the tigers schedule typically is drinking

[uneven bloom]

COTW is built entirely around the zone system

it never was and never will be Classic 2.0 unless they rebuilt the entire game from scratch.

[peak cedar]

Kind of hard to call them “elusive” if we can predict where they are though haha

[uneven bloom]

that might be referring to how there's only 16 on the map at a time.

[vivid cosmos]

then I hope tigers have no zones, altho it will be a bummer because of the animations

[peak cedar]

Because it’ll just be another grinder species and that would kill half the hype right away. 💀

I compare these two a lot but turkey is a great example of poor execution 😭

[vivid cosmos]

yeah, if they have zones, I can find each tiger feedzone and kill the 16 in like 5 minutes

[peak cedar]

See it’s always hard to know how new updates are in terms of excitement. Can’t rely on EW because of course they will say every update “this one will blow your minds” 😂

[scarlet bluff]

why does a species being grindable kill the hype?

just because they were said to be ungrindable or?

[vivid cosmos]

I myself hate grinding

[scarlet bluff]

then don’t grind

[peak cedar]

Because it lacks innovation if it’s just like everything else

[vivid cosmos]

I don't...

[peak cedar]

And then people get bored and starting spamming “when is the next update for cotw”

Just an endless loop lol

[uneven bloom]

...then why are you complaining about a species being grindable if you don't partake in it yourself?

[scarlet bluff]

they do that regardless of the species and if it’s grindable or not lol

[peak cedar]

Wdym if I don’t partake in it? It’s all hypothetical lol

None of us have see actually gameplay

Relax 😂

[vivid cosmos]

all species are grindable, If you don't grind you don't have access to many of the trophies of the game

[scarlet bluff]

unless it was already said that the species won’t be grindable then i don’t see how them being grindable would ruin anything

[peak cedar]

I mean you already have content creators out there promoting it would be different just saying lol

[vivid cosmos]

well if the tiger has zones I will know where the tiger will be at all times

[scarlet bluff]

considering half the time things aren’t in there zones at the right time the tiger will be wherever it wants anyway lol

[vivid cosmos]

this discussion is not getting anywhere can I interest you instead on how good does the new sheep look?

[peak cedar]

Most conversations don’t get anywhere in this server lol

Have to get used to it

[scarlet bluff]

they do look nice

have to say that i’m most excited for the yak though

[peak cedar]

Did they say what the next stream will be

[vivid cosmos]

the Yak look so great

[uneven bloom]

Tuesday

[peak cedar]

Tahr great ones?

[scarlet bluff]

tahr showcase sort of

[vivid cosmos]

GOs

[uneven bloom]

Tuesday Tahr showcase

[peak cedar]

That’s all it is right l?

[scarlet bluff]

hopefully we get the snow leopards shown off a little bit too

[peak cedar]

I’d imagine

[heavy venture]

Tahrco Tuesday

[vivid cosmos]

Lol

[uneven bloom]

I suspect it'll include other things as well

[vivid cosmos]

yeah I hope

[peak cedar]

I want my great one tahr to have big horn antlers

Antlers…I really just said that lmao

I need to go back to bed

[heavy venture]

I cringed when I read that

[peak cedar]

I cringed reading it too

😭

[proper wedge]

When you call then Bazinga

[heavy venture]

[vivid cosmos]

yeah the Cooper deer

[peak cedar]

I hope to see some really stupid looking furs for the tahr, the crazier the better imo

[vivid cosmos]

I'd like to see how magical do the GO tahr look like

[cinder orchid]

😆😭

[vivid cosmos]

oh yeah exactly

[tawdry nebula]

@everyone

[heavy venture]

[vivid cosmos]

yo... what...

[peak cedar]

@tawdry nebula what

[cinder orchid]

[peak cedar]

No way people type @ everyone, see it not actually pop up and keep going

[heavy venture]

I respect the confidence

[tawdry nebula]

It doesn’t ping

[peak cedar]

Tiger Vs 22 video when

Name a price 💰

[heavy venture]

People keep asking fot that 😂 Maybe I should try to do it... I cant imagine it going any kind of smoothly

[vivid cosmos]

I hope tigers go aggressive when hurt

[peak cedar]

That’s the point!

We hope it’s a miserable video lmao

[heavy venture]

I typically do so maybe they will

[tawdry nebula]

they will go aggressive even when they are fine, don’t worry

[peak cedar]

Tigers won’t go aggressive with me. Im so mentally crazy they look at me and run away themselves.

W method

[cinder orchid]

Idea: Ending the stream when i'll manage to find an Irbis and shoot it with a bow
10h+ of content right there

[tawdry nebula]

Idea: start stream sunda right now for 15 minutes and we won’t tell anyone

[peak cedar]

Bro, I’m still waiting for the reason you had to tag everyone 💀

[tawdry nebula]

It doesn’t ping tho..

[vivid cosmos]

Idea: Drop the map for us, just trust us

[tawdry nebula]

@everyone

[peak cedar]

Then why do it 🗿

[tawdry nebula]

It’s fun

try it

[peak cedar]

Pink names don’t partake in activities like that 🗿

[tawdry nebula]

🗿

[vivid cosmos]

🗿

[proper wedge]

Before they show you the door - it won't ping if you have "Suppress Everyone" selected.

[peak cedar]

We are not starting another emoji train

That is how I got banned the first time lmao

[tawdry nebula]

@everyone

[peak cedar]

Along with my fellow 35 hunter classic friends 😭

[bitter matrix]

The forbidden mention🙏😭

[peak cedar]

Ew why you green 🤢

[tawdry nebula]

I hope I am not getting banned

[bitter matrix]

I need to be a booster in another server for 5 days in another server to get free in game items 😭🙏

[limber cliff]

Then I would hope that you stop trying to ping the whole server 🙃

[peak cedar]

Tyk a better person than me, would’ve been smoked 😭

[tawdry nebula]

I mean, it doesn’t really ping so it won’t hurt anyone?

[bitter matrix]

Happy?

[tawdry nebula]

but I will stop

[long spade]

So I got two pings and checked 4 frickin servers before coming back here to see what was going on

[peak cedar]

That’s a thing?

I never knew games give free items if you boost the discord

[tawdry nebula]

I pinged 3 times, so no. This is not the server

[bitter matrix]

Yes, it’s a Roblox game but my gf likes it so I must accommodate

[peak cedar]

Oh I see, yes. Happy wife happy life. Idk what they say for gfs but it’s probably the same

[long spade]

Says the man who pinged everyone

[limber cliff]

Probably for the best. Even if it doesn't actually go through - people see it, then they all try it - and why bother doing it when it's not even a perm y'all have?

[tawdry nebula]

Lies

[tawdry nebula]

I am not doing it again

[limber cliff]

Really tho?

[peak cedar]

I ask myself the same thing when I try to do gifs

[limber cliff]

[long spade]

Someone in an entirely different server pinged me asking about this map

[bitter matrix]

🤨

[long spade]

"Avoiding spoilers" but you take the time to ping me and ask what ammo to stock up on and what animals are in the reserve

My friends are idiots

[wraith gale]

The black ops 6 reveal is gonna be lit

[long spade]

Would anyone be interested in a survival game with cotws mechanics and looks?

[wraith gale]

? No

It wouldn’t be complete

You would need a survival game with a mix of hunting fishing and a system like ark or dayz for the best survival experience

Woth would be way better than cotw for survival

It would feel better

Adding more realism

[long spade]

I don't mean a weirds port, a standalone game and new ip

[wraith gale]

Exactly what I said. A combo of all of those would be a new ip.

[uneven bloom]

if you're talking about theoretical games, it'd go in #🦝︴off-topic

[long spade]

I was thinking about it because of how the tigers work now. Can't say I know of any game to use a system like this

[uneven bloom]

nothing's outright been confirmed or denied about how the tigers work, aside from the stalking behavior

[cinder orchid]

I must say Discord adding the summary beta for some people is really nice, you can see specific topics and take a look at them
Even thought most of them are just speculations so far 😂

[long spade]

That's the behavior I mean, I literally can't think of a single game that works that way. Even if they have need zones if there's only one to an area it'll Be a new system won't it?

[midnight moon]

I genuinely thought it was Tuesday and was like “why aren’t people talking about the stream?”

[long spade]

Bit longer for that

9 days til release tho

[warm nexus]

From the designer's comments, the need zone is you. He designed tigers to be a horror element in the game.

[finite wagon]

I genuinely cant wait to get a rare of one of these things lmaooo

[finite wagon]

Im gonna redraw my pseudo melanistic snow leopard

[long spade]

I hope they cover snow leopards a bit more on the next stream

[vale grotto]

I think its the g1 on tuesday so i don't think we will.

[long spade]

I know but I'm actually way more interested in the tiger/leopards

[scarlet bluff]

was interested in the snow leopards till they said there were less than the tigers

still think they're cool just won't bother hunting them much unless they have zones

[long spade]

I like that there's less, it just means that it'll be more interesting than other predators

[scarlet bluff]

or it means nobody will bother with them because they can't find them

[lone forge]

I will search for em

I like ethe challenge

[long spade]

Maybe, but I'm gonna take the time to go after them

[scarlet bluff]

hope they figured out a way to balance out hunting them with also having a low pop

[long spade]

I don't think they'll be that hard to spot actually. They'll probably be on the move most times

[scarlet bluff]

the other thing that worries me with the low population of both tigers and snow leopards is how many are gonna be male or female unless they both make dime

[worldly shard]

Hi

[lone forge]

Hallo

[worldly shard]

Whats going on here?

[long spade]

I'd say both could make dime

[lone forge]

Where talkin bout them new cats

[lone forge]

I dont

Females are quit a bit smaller in both species

Wouldn't make sense

I think the diamond will be not that unrealistic

[scarlet bluff]

could always make an exception for them because of low population

just make the males and females have different dime scores or something

[long spade]

But they have very low populations and will either be tracking or avoiding you. Difficulty may adjust the trophy requirements

[lone forge]

I say that too

I think both diamonds and rares will be inflated to match the population

[long spade]

We also don't know if they even exist at levels lower than 7

[lone forge]

With them still Beeing hard to find

[quaint lintel]

It's surreal for me as an old player to know that there is both Asian and Australian map in the game lol

[lone forge]

I highly doubt that they wont

[lone forge]

Same!

And 6 american maps 6!

[long spade]

I feel like these two cats are going to take a way more active hunting style than anything we have in game

[quaint lintel]

Imagine if they took a year to make srp ... that would've been mind blowing

[long spade]

Srp was not one of my favorites

[warm nexus]

One thing I think would be cool is if "gossip" is added to the game

Something like "locals say there is a deer with a huge rack out near X location".

Or "there are rumors of a melanistic tiger out near Y location".

[long spade]

Kind of like local legends?

[warm nexus]

I guess? Is that a mechanic in classic?

I've never played classic.

[long spade]

No, but it was in old cabelas games. You would have the normal spawns and if you did enough side objectives in the previous area you could get s "local legend" spawn that was a tad different. Maybe a drop tine or a piebald

[warm nexus]

Ah. Yeah, something like that would be cool.

It could even be used to push people to parts of the map they visit less often.

[midnight moon]

Yesn’t garenteed trophies are kinda lame

[long spade]

It was a very fixed thing in the old games, but in cotw something could be a lot more interesting

[warm nexus]

Yeah, but it's also better than the highest scoring animal on the map being silver. I've had that WAY too often.

I had a really hard time getting a gold whitetail on nem because the highest scoring one was silver.

I had to do a serious cull to get a gold to spawn.

[midnight moon]

That’s crazy cause that’s more of a you issue in the most polite way

I’ve not ever had that issue on any map

[long spade]

It really doesn't have to be a super locked thing either, they could run a similar thing as anglers legendary fish, it's a single animal spawn at a random spot the species is normally found

[warm nexus]

Well, I was getting all the kill credit stuff. There was just a really low max score.

[midnight moon]

This is the most I can get behind honestly

[warm nexus]

It would also be cool if the primary lodge on the map could have taxidermy animals put in it.

[long spade]

It doesn't need to be super rares or diamonds either does it? Maybe a color/coat variation

[midnight moon]

Now this i definitely would love

Like the mocha moose

[warm nexus]

It shouldn't be that hard to add some wall mount spots to the lodges in game.

[midnight moon]

You’d be suprised

[warm nexus]

Floor mounts could be a pain because there often isn't much room, but they could to one or two.

[long spade]

They could replace some rugs for pelts too

[midnight moon]

Wall pelts would be fun but hard to make cause that’s new models and textures for like 6-10 species

[long spade]

I'd rather see rug mounts that just shows the pelt. That way there is a cool use for low level piebalds and rares

[glad nacelle]

Did you even sleep 😭

[midnight moon]

From 12:30am to 9:30am

[bitter matrix]

Some of us haven’t slept since birth👀🙏

[midnight moon]

That would be but also like I said really hard to do

[glad nacelle]

Okay than😂

[midnight moon]

💪💪💪

[limber cliff]

[long spade]

Hoping a new lodge is the December update

[midnight moon]

Please I need a new one

[bitter matrix]

Us: When did you realize you had that motion twin?

Sundarpatan: Since birf☝️

[long spade]

What kind of lodge would we get?

[bitter matrix]

A new one😃

[midnight moon]

Asian inspired probably or a massive wood cabin

[bitter matrix]

Yea prolly Asian inspired

[long spade]

I'm hoping for a massive Yukon
Cabin

[midnight moon]

Creamed

[long spade]

You make poor word choices

[tawdry nebula]

fr

[midnight moon]

Gotta speak my truth sorry yall

[tawdry nebula]

My only ask is Africa 2.0

I will not ask for anything else

[long spade]

I'd love Africa 3.0 . . .

[midnight moon]

There is infinite africa maps but noooo more American maps

[uneven bloom]

We still need Arctic Canada

[midnight moon]

That is IT tho

[tawdry nebula]

@midnight moon irl example ^

[uneven bloom]

and a Manitoba waterfowl map (with bonus Manitoba elk)

[midnight moon]

???

[tawdry nebula]

“There is infinite africa maps but noooo more American maps” and then Lyra just mentioned that we still need Canada map (North America)

like real example of what you just said

[dim saffron]

yeah i agree with the user Tact

[midnight moon]

a single NA map doesn’t outway 3-4 possible Africa maps

Lmao

[dim saffron]

we never said so

[uneven bloom]

Two NA maps actually. South-central Canada map could be a good American waterfowl map

[midnight moon]

Fair fair

[tawdry nebula]

If I had to chose between Canada or one single animal added to vurhonga I will chose the animal (could be rabbit)

[midnight moon]

Ehhhh

[dim saffron]

euh no

first thing first, we got no Canadian map. And there's plenty of big unique mammals out here in the Canadian Wildernesss

Layton for me is in WA or OR

[midnight moon]

What’s unique there respectfully minus maybe polar bear and arctic fox

[uneven bloom]

I suspect the next map is going to be an NA one anyways. Feels like it's going on an alternating pattern

[midnight moon]

As long as it’s something unique idc

[dim saffron]

Muskox, Dall Sheep, Stone Sheep, Arctic Wolf, Beaver

[uneven bloom]

Snow goose

[dim saffron]

^

Eiders

[midnight moon]

Okay that’a fair

[uneven bloom]

would probably get snowshoe hare too

[midnight moon]

Istg tho if we get another map with reused species tho

[dim saffron]

Wolverine

[uneven bloom]

could also be caribou map #2

[dim saffron]

indeed

[midnight moon]

Indeed

[uneven bloom]

...on that note, gray wolf instead of Arctic wolf + possibly coming with a wolf GO?

[midnight moon]

Actually yeah gray wolf are top 3 for a remodel from me so yeah

Plus give them a regular rare black fur

[dim saffron]

nope. would prefer they do just like they did with Iberian wolves but for Arctic ones

[dim saffron]

Black fur came for introgression with domestic dogs and the K-Locus

It's a thing that's mostly common in certains part of NA. Arctic wolves typically do not come in black.

[midnight moon]

Hence why I’m talking about gray wolves

[midnight moon]

Ik but gray wolfs still come in that color and if the gray wolves get a remodel it would slap

[dim saffron]

yeah

it would

well... the melanistic would be common

if that's what you mean

[midnight moon]

No no mela can still exist

Like egg white and albino

Black and mela cause mela is true black

[dim saffron]

there's also blue, blueish-black

[midnight moon]

Now that we have 9 tiger rares lmao I think those should be incorporated too

[dim saffron]

Here's Jasper National Park Wolf #112F

She was completely black when she was young

[midnight moon]

Ooo that would be cool

[dim saffron]

that's the same wolf

at 5 and 13 years (blue)

[uneven bloom]

honestly there needs to be an alternative "default" fur for wolves that's more of a tawny coloring

[dim saffron]

yeah

[midnight moon]

Definitely

[uneven bloom]

while black wolves are fairly common, they're not all-encompassing

[midnight moon]

The only gray gray wolves are really weird

I’ve only ever seen ones with tan undercoats or close to that

[uneven bloom]

...also, maybe, tone down their aggro behavior a bit. I really do suspect their long-term broken flee behavior stems from their AI vacillating over if it wants to flee or go aggro

IRL wolves also avoid human hunters when possible unless cornered

[dim saffron]

Outside of NA and Italy, they are quite rare.

[amber kiln]

That’s my guess too, as their stance is defensive when frozen

[dim saffron]

When you are talking about tawny, here's two collared wolves from YNP

[uneven bloom]

this. We need this as a fur type 😭

[dim saffron]

The one on the left is 693F (2006 - 2013)

and the one on the right is 778M (2007 - 2016)

[lofty dune]

North American wolves have about 5,000 year old dog admixture, which is why they can have white patches on the chest and black fur, among other various markings.

[dim saffron]

The one of the right weighed 118 lbs

[lofty dune]

European wolves probably do too, but to what degree is unknown to me.

[dim saffron]

And he was the last Druid Pack Member ever alive

He was shot by a hunter

sadly

[midnight moon]

Legally or illegally

[dim saffron]

Legally

[midnight moon]

Ah damn

[lofty dune]

Doesn't bother me then

[midnight moon]

I get it tho

[dim saffron]

12$ tag

[lofty dune]

Nothing wrong with that.

[dim saffron]

radio-collar GPS (3000$)

[uneven bloom]

there was this one famous female pack leader that was shot illegally in the park

[lofty dune]

We are part of management, we have always been part of management.

[uneven bloom]

they never found out who was responsible, sadly

[lofty dune]

Illegal take of an animal (the only definition of poaching) is bad.

But legal is good.

[midnight moon]

Not at all but it’s a shame a pack is extinct yk?

[uneven bloom]

wolf packs break up a lot more frequently than you think

[lofty dune]

His blood lives on in other wolves I'm sure.

[dim saffron]

oh the Druid Peak Pack dissolved in 2010

[dim saffron]

his, yeah

[uneven bloom]

if the breeding pair dies, the rest tend to disperse

[dim saffron]

often yeah

[midnight moon]

True

[lofty dune]

Then they become their own breeding pair with whomever they find, starting anew 🙂

[midnight moon]

It’s amazing

[lofty dune]

I do hope for a wolf remaster.

For some reason it seems like no one can get wolf models or animations right.

[midnight moon]

Literally omg

[lofty dune]

Wolfquest is part of this, btw. Their pup models are good but the current adult models are really antiquated.

[midnight moon]

Which is wild they aren’t but they are really simply canines

[lofty dune]

I hope Dave gets an artist to remake them!

[dim saffron]

Wolfquest has these wolves in it

[uneven bloom]

WolfQuest my beloved

[dim saffron]

778, 693

And others famed wolves like 9F, 832F (693's sister)

[uneven bloom]

the OG was a buggy, buggy disaster but it was my childhood

[dim saffron]

and many many others

[midnight moon]

I read this as “wolfquest has wolves in it” and was like yes

[dim saffron]

lmao

This is the uncollared female known as "The Half-Black" (386F). She was a member of the Druid Pack.

[midnight moon]

Gorgeous

[dim saffron]

If you look at Fennoscandian Wolves, you'lle see Orange/blonde wolves

[lofty dune]

Same, along with Feralheart/IT.

[lofty dune]

Here's an Eastern coyote.

[dim saffron]

yes

[uneven bloom]

oh I saw one of those right outside my house once

[dim saffron]

I saw many

[midnight moon]

Adding that to my fox and coyote remaster suggestion

[lofty dune]

Looks like a Taiwanese street dog, which is very interesting

[dim saffron]

Even saw them on carcasses of WTD

[uneven bloom]

enough of them can definitely take down an older or sick deer

[tawdry nebula]

😈

[dim saffron]

In Cape Cod, male eastern coyotes (aka Coywolves aka Canis lycaon X Canis latrans) average over 20 kg (20.4)

[lofty dune]

Dimitrii Prosov, again, making stellar models. His is about the only good wolf model I've actually seen.

[dim saffron]

Indian Wolf or Arabian Wolf would fit it

[lofty dune]

It's just hairless because that stuff is done with different systems.

[dim saffron]

But it's probably a bit too high

Otherwise, it's neat asf

[lofty dune]

I think the height is correct given how much limb length is hidden in fur.

[dim saffron]

that one looks like a Basenji

[lofty dune]

Same model, just a different angle

Not a coincidence, given the Basenji is a primitive breed.

[dim saffron]

indeed

Why are they named like that? To avoid humanizing them like we do with pets? all of this pretty new to me

[dim saffron]

that's their identification number (they have tracking collars)

[vivid cosmos]

did you guys noticed the new Blackbuck fur announced is the same one that appeared on some old announcements from Spring Creek manor?

are we plotting to add some chupacabras to the game?

[quick grail]

WQ was my childhood, esp the forums ☠️

That way researchers can know that this or that wolf did this or that at X time

[dim saffron]

yes.

Wolf #9F was the ninth wolf in wyoming to be handled by researchers

Most of them get numbered after being captured for collaring purposes. But others gets numbered after control actions... or if "by luck" researchers find a dead wolf that is uncollared

[vivid cosmos]

will we have wolves on sundarpatan?

[alpine heart]

I see

[dim saffron]

they will give it an identifier so that samples taken from the dead wolf can be easily tracked down to the individual in question and solely that one.

Ty

[dim saffron]

you're welcome

[dim saffron]

no.

[vivid cosmos]

ok... I'll be back later

[dim saffron]

The list of species is available on the pinned messages of this channel

[dim saffron]

These radio-collars can be really informative

[vivid cosmos]

Ik I was just lost on why were you talkinga about wolves

For instance, during the COVID-19 Pandemic, a study made on tigers was made in India or Nepal (i don't remember, l'le check after)

And it was shown that the lockdown made tigers further explored their territories (Especially if they intercepted roads of the the National Park)

They demonstrated that the frequency of crossings and use of the road was (predictably) much higher when human use was low

you can find this study here

We found that the highway more strongly constrained the space use and habitat selection of the male in Parsa National Park than the female in Bardia National Park. Over the entire study period, the female on average crossed 10 times more often per week than the male, and when he was near the highway, he was over 11 times more probable to not cross it than to cross during the day. However, we also found that the cessation of traffic during the pandemic lockdown relaxed tiger avoidance of roads and made the highway more permeable for both animals. They were 2–3 times more probable to cross the highway during the lockdown than before the lockdown.

hmmmmmm

i prefer the one on the right

[vivid cosmos]

yeah the remastered is much better but... now that fur type will very likely be in the game which is awesome

[tacit hamlet]

The left looks like a female with horns to me

[vivid cosmos]

because the old furtype wasn't in the game

[dim saffron]

i think the same as Outdoors

[vivid cosmos]

that's not bad

i'm just happy this brown furtype will be huntable

[dim saffron]

same

[vivid cosmos]

and was improved

[dim saffron]

just like i was with the Fallows

When they introduced Chocolate and White

whoops

[tacit hamlet]

What I’m saying is I think it’s just one of those times when EW made an impossible fur/horn combo for a promotion thing

[dim saffron]

White Chocolate

hihi

[vivid cosmos]

the Fallows had furtypes in the code that never made it into the game?

[dim saffron]

for a long long time, there was no white or chocolate

There was the generic "common"

which was 1-4-5 furs types of most species

[vivid cosmos]

oh yeah but they never teased us with them

[dim saffron]

true

[tacit hamlet]

Pretty sure this is the case, not a long overdue teaser

Similar to when EW put a mocha GO moose on a promotion banner

[dim saffron]

ah
