[weak smelt]

There's lots of stuff we should've gotten with sundar

[torn comet]

the lack of birds in sundarpatan is astounding

[midnight moon]

Rude

[wind stone]

Tf was it deleted

[midnight moon]

Lmao

It was

[wind stone]

That’s the literal name of a bird

[midnight moon]

Ig common sense ain't so common these days, unless a mod is trolling

Maybe they should add blue footed boobys to Arctic

[wind stone]

The mod who deleted it should have mod privileges removed

[weak smelt]

Antlered does when

[torn comet]

himalayan snowcock

[wind stone]

This not a joke either

Dirty mind

[midnight moon]

Now now

[stuck tapir]

It's automated

[weak smelt]

PLEASE be bman🙏🙏🙏

[midnight moon]

Blue footed booby

Yeah not automated

[shadow prism]

srp?

[midnight moon]

Plot twist, @wind stone deleted it and is trolling

[shadow prism]

It has nothing and it should have coyotes raccoons badgers rabbits and more

[slim sand]

i am so excited for new dog... and im a cat

:3

[wind stone]

I’m really not

[slim sand]

this game rules

[shadow prism]

Tell that to the judge pal

[midnight moon]

The mod will stay anon now

[wind stone]

Wouldn’t it say why it was deleted

[torn comet]

it doesnt get auto moderated unless you separate the words

[wind stone]

Yeah

[midnight moon]

No, we are in a regime

[grim crest]

Maybe musk ox will be in the 2025 summer map

[stray basalt]

More than likely

[glad nacelle]

Sup nerds

[stray basalt]

Sup

[inland kite]

I'm wondering what kind of weapon we'll get with the future map, hopefully it'll be something good to cover most of the species there, like with the gandhare rifle on sundarpatan. Or maybe it'll only cover 3 classes like with Yukon's .300 canning

[grim crest]

Yeah if it’s a map with musk ox then we have a lot of potential as far as animals go and for guns probaly somthing like a class 6-9 would be cool

[torn comet]

we need a baller safari rifle

[glad nacelle]

We are getting a 375

That’s practically what we have been asking for

[torn comet]

yeah i mean if get an african map

[glad nacelle]

Only other options than that would have been a .416 rigby and a 600 nitro

[torn comet]

.416 rigby would be insane

[stray basalt]

Jaxy has already said it’s not “if” anymore

It’s “when”

[glad nacelle]

I’m not going to say 700 nitro because truthfully I feel like that is a bit much but that’s just me who knows

[glad nacelle]

Well they have to compete with ultimate hunting now somewhat

Like they have elephant

[stray basalt]

Yeah

[glad nacelle]

We don’t

Hunter cotw has to keep up the demand now

[stray basalt]

Meanwhile WOTH has been completely left in the dust

Lapped them x5

[glad nacelle]

There graphics aren’t it and the controls of the game are wack

Animations for animals as well mainly birds suck too

(I’ve already complained about the new small game reserve coming up because I want more birds)

[torn comet]

is woth still popular? i played it only once

[pine lily]

the .40+ cal weatherbies are an option

.416 and ,460 have 6200+ ft-lbs of energy

[glad nacelle]

Nope

It’s dead

[wind stone]

Apparently the Map will have
Gray Fox
Red Fox
Raccoon
Raccoon Dog
European Rabbit as the 5 mammals

According to lady

[glad nacelle]

@stray basalt who’s video did they use to show off the clay shooting ?

Imma be honest they need me doing that

If we had competitions

I’d win

Easily😭

[stray basalt]

Honestly.

[glad nacelle]

Like dude

THEY NEEDED ME

https://youtu.be/6FdheqfC1b8?si=L8rh6ob-Xp0PQDjQ

[shadow prism]

No I enjoy with I don’t think it’s way behind

[glad nacelle]

I am the shotgun king

[shadow prism]

If you compare cotw when it was that new to woth they would be neck and neck if not ahead of cotw

[glad nacelle]

I can agree with this somewhat but the graphics of WOTH aren’t it

I like the bullet feature where I can see the round go through the animal as well as change to different rounds

But the graphics are like ps2

[shadow prism]

That’s fair I think it looks choppy

But they are the first unreal engine graphics if they would have waited for better I think it’d be top tier

[glad nacelle]

Oh definitely

[weak smelt]

There's no gray fox

[wind stone]

Yeah just read her comments people called her out for it

[stuck tapir]

Lady misinformation strikes again

[stray basalt]

There’s been one half good map in WOTH’s history lol

[wind stone]

That’s your opinion personally the New Zealand and Aurora shores only good map the rest of the game is good

[fervent kraken]

European Woodcock

[stray basalt]

With all these returning species…

It makes me wonder what they are working on now

Because they don’t have to work on 80 different models

[pine lily]

they may be devoting the energy to a larger species roster

for a later map

please gib arctic w/ muskox, polar bear, and walrus

[long spade]

#1308990463394447462

[slim sand]

what is woth?

[worthy schooner]

way of the hunter

[dusk creek]

Ill be waiting on africa 2

I like arctic but there a lot of animals in the game that, if they were reworked, would make me not want an arctic map

[languid wedge]

I mean 2 new game + 17 go variance + 3 remodel and whole new range and wp and dog and rough new smaller map? They definitely at least put some work into this one

[slim sand]

as a completely new player who has become addicted to the game recently yukon valley has easily been my favorite reserve

im excited for whatever comes next!

[stray basalt]

If you like Yukon

You’ll be certain to enjoy what’s coming in the summer

[warm basin]

It’s a good thing he wasn’t around when Yukon first came out 🗣️

[stray basalt]

I will say, Yukon has very few flaws

Except

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1261793334809198633

[warm basin]

When the map first came out the animals could score above 1000

The Max score at the time was 1000

And every caribou was a 5 for some reason

[plain star]

What year did Yukon come out again?

I forgot

[warm basin]

Uh I’m a unc

[stray basalt]

Like 2019

[warm basin]

Like 2018 or 19

[plain star]

Ah so like around when I started playing

[warm basin]

Yea

It came out before cuatro

[plain star]

Yeah

[red gyro]

Do y’all think flinter will take the go pheasant with a bow like the rest of his Go’s

[stray basalt]

Yes

[gaunt storm]

Browning is the king of O&Us

I just bought a Citori

[arctic pond]

How many new species does the new reserve have?

[stray basalt]

15

[dusk creek]

15 brand new ones?

[plain star]

2

[silk rose]

Do we know what exact species will come with the map?

[arctic pond]

Only two? 😔

[grim crest]

Yes😐

[dim saffron]

I mean wow guys !

Here's the stuff :

1. Raccoon Dog : 1 ---- > 2 maps : Revontuli + Salzwiesen

2. Common Raccoon : 2 ---- > 3 maps : Mississippi + New England + Salzwiesen (3 maps)

3. European Rabbit : 2 ---- > 3 maps : Hirschfelden + Te Arawoa + Salzwiesen (3 maps)

4. Red Fox ! : 4 ---- > 5 maps !!! : Hirschfelden + Yukon Valley + New England + Emerald Coast + Salzwiesen (5 maps)

5. Black Grouse : 1 ---> 2 maps : Revontuli + Salzwiesen (2 maps)

6. Ring-Necked Pheasant : 4 ---- > 5 maps !!! : Hirschfelden + Rancho del Arroyo + Cuatro Colinas + New England + Salzwiesen (5 maps !)

7. Gadwall (New)

8. Ferruginous Duck (New)

9. Some Goose species : Revontuli + Salzwiesen + ? (2+ maps) (probably will one of or some combination of Canada Goose, Tundra Bean Goose or Greylag Goose)

10. 1 mammals returning

11, 12, 13, 14, 15) Other birds returning

[limber cliff]

Is this all stuff we saw in the video?

[dim saffron]

yeah... We saw some goose species flying over a field in the trailer (well i think they were goose)

And all the other animals were in the trailer or said to be in the map (like the 2 new ducks)

I think they said there would be 10 birds and the link to the Szalwiesen Park Page tells us that there is 15 species

and we saw 4 mammals in the trailer

[limber cliff]

I didn't see all the trailer watching the stream chats lmao

Hmm.

Wonder who the mystery guest on the map is gonna be

[dim saffron]

https://youtu.be/Ia4xxvu9OCk

this is the trailer. It lasts about 78 seconds

[limber cliff]

Tu

[dim saffron]

no problem 🙂

I would like to see roe deer as the last mammal

[lean quarry]

I think both canada goose and greylag goose will be added.

[dim saffron]

i think so too

I think we probably will see mallard

[lucid parcel]

I think deer will BE one species cause in the Dog Trailer they Showed deer grazing infront of Windmills and i dont think Windmills are on any current map right?

[dim saffron]

they are a lot of windmills in Hirschfelden

many landmarks or interest points in Hirschfelden talks about them

Tichenau Lonely Windmill

"The old sawmill of the 18th Century who is nowadays standing alone after a fire destroyed the others Windmills in 1965"

Schonfeldt Windmills

"Those Windmills are dating the years 1000's and attracts numerous visitors."

and there are others i think.

iirc correctly, you can even enter some and hunt from openings in them

[long spade]

Not sure why they don't just release the trailers, they already showed them on stream

[limber cliff]

https://callofthewild.thehunter.com/december-updates/

All of the new vids are there tmk

[shadow loom]

They are also live on EW's YouTube channel

[long spade]

And once again YouTube fails to notify me about the things I specifically chose to get notifications for. Thanks internet.

[vital blaze]

Wait what

[limber cliff]

They were saying we didn't know all the animals

I said I wonder what it's going to be

[lucid parcel]

Is this hirschfelden, cause i havent seen an area like this on there but im also quite new so idk

[limber cliff]

Aka. Mystery guest

[stray basalt]

That’s hirsh.

[grave cypress]

Do you know what the list of animals on the new map is?

[narrow crypt]

Yep it is

[vital blaze]

I thought you ment a person

[limber cliff]

Oh, ew. Humans.

-# JOKING. I made a JOKE.

[narrow crypt]

Is there an official site for the update Info ?

[vital blaze]

Npc on the map would be a W

clay shooting challenge 👀

[long spade]

There is much speculation and my personal hope is for Sika deer
"Oh,ew. Humans." Is totally valid.

[hushed topaz]

Sika would be great but they'd also need a remodel pretty bad

[vital blaze]

Lol the photo

[long spade]

I was trying to get a screenshot and sharpen a saw blade

[vital blaze]

No I ment the fallow deer

That's NOT a sika

[long spade]

I did NOT notice that lmao

[vital blaze]

I hate it when people mix up animals especially deer

And yes I get pissed when I see a caribou with elk or red deer antlers

[hushed topaz]

Google almost always messes up photos of deer. I'll search up moose and it'll show me a picture of an elk

I'd love another sika map but they'd need a remodel pretty badly

[fierce bay]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1308520482991247431

[plucky forge]

is there any pictures pictures of those new great ones>

?

[fierce bay]

if nothing got leaked no

[plucky forge]

ok ty

[molten mortar]

i wholeheartedly agree with this statement

[limber cliff]

None yet

[lucid parcel]

Oh i def gotta Check IT Out

[kind lava]

It is a map where there will only be class 2 and 1

[long spade]

We have one unknown mammal and nothing says exclusively small game, even if you're right there's no reason to deny anything before it's been confirmed

[kind lava]

They said it in the premiere and it is put in the description of the map, the missing mammal is most likely the European hare.

So I think the list of species would be like this:

• Red Fox ( class 2 ) - Great One
• Raccoon Dog ( class 2 )
• Common Raccon ( class 2 )
• European Rabbit ( class 1 )
• European Hare ( class 1 )
• Black Grouse ( class 1 )
• Ring-Necked Pheasant ( class 1 ) - Great One
• Eurasian Teal ( class 1 )
• Eurasian Wigeon ( class 1 )
• Goldeneye ( class 1 )
• Mallard ( class 1 )
• Gadwall ( class 1 ) - New
• Ferruginous Duck ( class 1 ) - New
• Tufted Duck ( class 1 )
• Greylag Goose ( class 1 )

[long spade]

Two rabbits don't make any sense and they never used the words "exclusively small game"
Only small game focused

[kind lava]

You will see that time proves me right and there is nothing wrong with the rabbit and the hare together on the map.

[wind stone]

We need another map for the hare

[kind lava]

Just by looking at the map description, considering that the new GOs are the pheasant and the fox, and that this map is half the size of a normal map, it's impossible for them to add any kind of big game.

The European hare should be in Hirsch and TA and not in CC, the Iberian hare is the one that should be in CC

[abstract lodge]

honestly think we have enough ducks in the game

[wind stone]

Nope

We barely have any

There should be more small game in the game that larger game

[abstract lodge]

7 species of duck in the game

[wind stone]

That’s nothing

There’s probably 50+ that we can hunt

[abstract lodge]

right but who wants to hunt 15 or more species of duck

cmon

[wind stone]

Me

Hopefully with this water fowl rework more than just the species of decoy’s you have go to the spread

[abstract lodge]

the majority dont duck hunt

[wind stone]

Because it sucks currently

They are the prettiest thing in the game rn

[long spade]

Until it's confirmed I'm hoping for sika

[abstract lodge]

you keep telling yourself that

[languid wedge]

🙋

The new ducks and the rework is my most excited part of the new update

[plain vigil]

No deer on the map?

[wind stone]

No

It’s a small game park

[abstract lodge]

apart from
landing directly on me everything else works fine just ive hunted duck in real life and in game aint fun

[wind stone]

There might be Roe or a smaller species

[languid wedge]

None confirmed yet

[kind lava]

There will be no big game and roe deer is big game

[wind stone]

Yeah

[kind lava]

You'll see how right I am.

[abstract lodge]

basicly rabbits and bird species

wont be any deer gurentee

[languid wedge]

Would been really cool to had gotten a new goose with this map

[abstract lodge]

tbh geese are so screwed up i dont think they will ever work right

[languid wedge]

Wdym?

[abstract lodge]

they dont land anywhere near you spook with the slight sound i could be hidden in brush and they will see me and spook

[kind lava]

The mechanics of ducks should be applied to geese, they would be much better.

[abstract lodge]

there noisey aswell i play in silent on hirsch now

[languid wedge]

Lol

[abstract lodge]

i cant sit in a feild for 3 seconds without honking like mad

you know how hard hunting is with no sound lol

like im a deaf hunter

[long spade]

I do not care

[languid wedge]

You know they land pretty consistently in same spots every time depending the wind right? You have to be set up down wind from where they land

[languid wedge]

Hiiii huxxy

[abstract lodge]

bro ive done it all trust me canada goose in hirsch horendous and they land everywhere

[long spade]

You must be happy bird boy, a whole reserve for you

[abstract lodge]

evan in the forrest they land

[abstract lodge]

im well versed with the game been playing 3-4 years if not longer

hirsch just needs work

[languid wedge]

I finally get new diamond's to chase after almost a year and possibly a go to chase only disliked part is it's pheasant instead of mallard

[abstract lodge]

nah pheasant all the way

[wind stone]

Better it than Merriams

[kind lava]

hahaha

[long spade]

You still got plenty of ultra rare piebald mallards to hunt, go on

[abstract lodge]

i swear 80% are pie now

[lean quarry]

Playing on the fields in Hirsch for more than 5 mins is not good for my mental health. Yukon is not much better.

[long spade]

I avoid birds in general but I see tons of them in one flock

[abstract lodge]

fr bro i hate geese

[long spade]

I'd love a GO turkey, might even have a chance considering how many I snipe with the .22H

[languid wedge]

I only have 1 those

[long spade]

The closest I came to caring about ducks and geese is when I popped a tufted duck on Rev the other night and got a dime

Turkey would have been way more interesting

[hushed topaz]

I just think pheasants also needed a remodel

The G1 models for the pheasants are gonna look drastically different quality wise from the normal pheasants

[languid wedge]

I expect they got cleaned up a bit nothing big enough to say a remodel

[hushed topaz]

I hope so, they could use a little touch up imo

[wind stone]

I’m hoping the pheasants are as easy as fallow deer

Anyone know if they respawn males

[languid wedge]

Yeahhhhhh that's not gonna happen

[wind stone]

I meant the spawn rates

[languid wedge]

Probably around anything on hirsch-tahr level hard

I'm hoping black bear levels of spawn rate

[long spade]

I restarted my game and an odd bug. 6 Canada geese flying in a circle about 5 ft of the ground. One was a diamond.

[wind stone]

I mean considering most of the feed zones are in fields and it’s a smaller map it won’t be that bad

And male pheasants respawn in to the same feed zone

[languid wedge]

Or they switch to solos

[wind stone]

Don’t think that’s gonna happen either way just pop em with the .22 h or just .22 virant

No idea why that auto corrected to that

[slate hound]

Where’s the new map based?

[stray basalt]

Sudan

[slate hound]

New Africa map? How exciting

[stray basalt]

No

I’m just kidding

It’s in Germany

[fierce bay]

schleswig holstein near the border to denmark

[slate hound]

Ah well less exciting but still very cool

[dusk creek]

Are foxes getting a remodel for their g1 or is it just a g1?

[crystal sedge]

Yes

[lucid parcel]

Do you guys think the duck decoy pack will be with the new map cause its focused on bird hunting?

[stray basalt]

No

They’ll be free

It’s already been confirmed

[slim schooner]

So i bought it for money now its gonna be free…

[lucid parcel]

Oh wow where did you read that

[stray basalt]

Promotional material

And decoys have been free with the appropriate reserve for literal years now

[lucid parcel]

Ok thats nice to hear

[quasi raven]

Gigantic

Would love to see them

[pine lily]

man that looks like exactly like the Walrus panorama in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science

takes me back to my childhood running through the wildlife hall like some impetulent little gobline lol

[paper meadow]

i did not expect to actually see a pheasant great one announcement. this is awesome. reserve made just for me

im very excited :D

[stray basalt]

I think a lot of museums use this display weirdly enough because the Field Museum has almost this exact same layout (minus the lighting)

Down to the background lol

[paper meadow]

also surprised to see people dislike hirsch, i really like hirschfelden :)

[stray basalt]

If I want heavy brush, I’ll just play on Mississippi or https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1207357430963507281

[pine lily]

Common Walrus Panorama Setup W

[stray basalt]

The species list just isn’t fun, it’s from a time before ew could even imagine doing real game birds

[paper meadow]

i got really into hirsch because i like the familiarity of it having come from classic, i dont really mind brush too much

something About it. that and my game likes to crash sporadically on almost every other map lol

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, I felt so nostalgic when I realised the top right corner of Hirsch is essentially based on THC's Hirschfelden.

It just feels like home.

[paper meadow]

i finally made it to that corner recently and it made me so happy!

just with a nice facelift, but the layout is the same :)

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, back in THC Pheasant hunting on Hirsch was always my fav.

[paper meadow]

yesss pheasants in classic are always a blast, and hirsch was my go-to

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, Bird hunting in Classic is / was top tier.

[paper meadow]

im still struggling in cotw, but mostly because i happen to find them in need zones in forested areas, and i just cant see them when they flush in time, wish they had a take-off call like they do in real life to make it easier

but its great fun going on a chase, i should really practice more

[lone forge]

Y'all's museums are cool we just have one big hall with a bunch of poorly stuffed animals from the 1800s in big glass boxes without any terain or something.

[lone forge]

Omg I never noticed that

[gloomy holly]

I noticed it when I saw that classic had hirschfelden so my nerd self couldnt not make sure that the are the same

[pulsar latch]

Will the new map have no big game at all? no deer at all? Only small game? Because revontuli had big game haha

[stray basalt]

We don’t know

[pulsar latch]

ok thx

[dusk creek]

Id assume it if it were big game, itd be fallow

But grinding fallow on such a tiny map would probably make it too easy

Maybe roe deer

[stray basalt]

Roes or boar more like

[kind lava]

with the great diversity of small game that exists in schleswig-holstein and they have only added two new ducks.
https://jagdlehrling.de/aktuelle-jagdzeiten-schleswig-holstein/

[random merlin]

is the update gonna reset our populations?

[vale grotto]

Most likely for red fox, pheasant, european rabbits.

[fierce bay]

based on the things we saw i tried make a fraction of the map ....

[long spade]

#1309254176454479992

.22H Revolver would be incredible on SP

[lone forge]

I doubt those couse they would get a rework

[stray basalt]

What we were given isn’t a full list of features at all.

That will come with the map.

[vale grotto]

You say that but neither did pheasants and some of the other species.

[lone forge]

Pheasants have a way better model then wild boar

But we'll see

[vale grotto]

Not dismissing that but they could do witha touch up tbh

[lone forge]

Yes

[vale grotto]

Like they did good on the other bird species so they defo need a touch up to give them one. Like the feathers

[abstract lodge]

i love hirsch just needs a
rework

[north pecan]

Will the new map be the same price as the other ones

[stray basalt]

If they told us we’d know.

[vale grotto]

We don't know, but I guess not as its smaller but then again idk

[long spade]

#1307451049258258513

Please ignore the rant, the op is still the main point

[dim saffron]

Everytime i type cheetahs, i get leopards and jaguars

[dim saffron]

Mallard, Cinnamon, Green-Winged, Eurasian teal, Eurasian widgeon, goldeneye, tufted, gadwall, ferruginous, harlequin, i am at least at 10 ducks species not 7

[long spade]

Anyone else a little surprised there wasn't some kind of bird hunter's outfit with the pack? Would have been a good time for it I think.

EW, regarding outfits, please don't handle them like Way of the Hunter did. A regular outfit pack would be acceptable, just not the way they did it. That said.

Gloves please, the hands are kinda weird.

Could do hats and gloves like backpacks (which need fixing btw) so the player could choose them at any time. Like the Angler clothing system

[jaunty drum]

have they denied there's a outfit with the new map?

[long spade]

No, but I figured they would have mentioned it since they always have before

[stray basalt]

I was hoping they’d bring back outfits permanently for emerald coast

BUT THEY STOPPED

caps

[wind stone]

This would be good

[gray plume]

Did they say if it’s the companion or job that needs to be max level to cross train the dog?

[wind stone]

I believe you also need to own two dog dlc’s

[jaunty drum]

didn't we get one with emerald coast?

[weak smelt]

Yes

[fervent kraken]

I believe so

[jaunty drum]

One for Nepal might have been too close to the Africa warden or outback outfit

NEM didn't come with one. And I don't think TA did either

[stray basalt]

That was literally like half my point

[stray basalt]

Line the pith helmet with tiger teeth and a few round of some non descript express round for all I care

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1303639540938051604

[torn comet]

Hell yeah

[glossy garnet]

A decent chunk of the map feels unplayable

It’s to dense

[weak smelt]

Skill issue

[glossy garnet]

Nah it’s my play style

I don’t like bows or pistols much

I like shotguns for ducks

[weak smelt]

There's plenty of open spaces on hirsch

[glossy garnet]

There are but not enough imo

[weak smelt]

If you like shotguns then go for pheasant

[glossy garnet]

Like the western part with the bison is good part there are only bison there pretty much

[weak smelt]

There's tons

[glossy garnet]

And then you can only really see stuff on the farm fields

I like long range sniping stuff

I do have to say tho Hirsch is significantly better than New England

[weak smelt]

Dawg what

Nem is great

[glossy garnet]

Nah bro

It’s got no unique animals

It’s just another North America map with nothing new on it

Everything on it I’d rather hunt on a different map

[weak smelt]

Still a great map

With a great animal lineup

[glossy garnet]

It looks rly pretty but that’s not what makes me like a map

[weak smelt]

It's super easy to hunt

[glossy garnet]

What’s your fav map

[weak smelt]

NEM or sundar

[glossy garnet]

I like sundar and emerald they are the most unique imo

[weak smelt]

Eh emerald really only has roos, magpies, and quail

Not much else going for it

[glossy garnet]

Nah the deer aren’t on any other maps same as banteng

[weak smelt]

They all look the same and troll 90% of the time

[glossy garnet]

It’s probs the best map for foxes

[weak smelt]

Lord no

[glossy garnet]

Nah all the other maps with foxes have loads of bushes around the lakes makes them hard to spot

[weak smelt]

Yukon or NEM are better

[weak smelt]

So does EC

[glossy garnet]

Nah you go in the southern end of the map

It’s super ez

[weak smelt]

That's like a tiny portion of the map

[glossy garnet]

The western side is also pretty good

[languid wedge]

He was talking about you

[weak smelt]

The jungle area is an absolute pain

[weak smelt]

Hush

God will i love this new pointer with tracking pheasants

[glossy garnet]

Yeah ik

I just don’t like hirsch tho

I don’t think most people do

[weak smelt]

They don't know greatness

[glossy garnet]

It’s only got one unique species

Every other species on the map is easier to hunt on other maps

[weak smelt]

Pheasants

[glossy garnet]

It has been rendered obsolete

[glossy garnet]

Yeah they r on quatro and rancho

[languid wedge]

Rancho says what

[weak smelt]

Rancho doesn't treat me right like hirsch does

[languid wedge]

Treating and best is 2 different things

My only rare male came from Hirsch mult

[weak smelt]

My only dime came from hirsch

Wish i could put it in a better place in my lodge but i have no where

[glossy garnet]

I reckon the new map will be best for pheasants

You know I’ve never actually seen a pheasnt on hirsch

The fields on cuatro r crazy for them tho

[whole kettle]

Fr though

[warm nexus]

I like Rancho for the pheasants.

[paper meadow]

i do not own rancho, hirsch got me

[jovial jolt]

I’ve shot like 3 pheasants total in my 6 years of playing the game 🤣

Not my cup of tea (or vodka)

[cinder orchid]

I already grinded Bobwhite Quail for the multimount so I got an idea of hows it gonna look like to shoot Phesents

Nothing pleasant thought

[lone forge]

I made myself a bobwhite set up with tents and stuff like that and them it worked quit good

[acoustic plank]

Isn’t it interesting how they are giving red fox another remodel since they already have given them one previously

[cinder orchid]

The new models are good but not that accurate to real life
I think they're trying to fix that

[glass hull]

will the pheasant GO be big

[dim saffron]

Yes, it's gonna be big, as big or bigger than a diamond

We do not know yet

[kind lava]

@final sierra When will you release the full species list for the new map?

[long spade]

#1309529559066214552

[vale grotto]

Probably next week in tueaday on stream

Its normally 1 week before the map

[agile mortar]

I may have some goodies to show on Tuesday 😉

[kind lava]

There may be more content that was not shown?👀

[agile mortar]

Oh lol. Nono, we have announced everything that is coming in the Winter Preview Show 😉

On Tuesday I just get to show it a little better

[kind lava]

By the way, I guess the early access for YouTubers will be on the 19th, 30th, 1st and 2nd, right?

[kind lava]

Ok ok, I would love to see the new rabbit, it looks beautiful.

[sinful pulsar]

Will the new G1 fox and pheasant variants be shown? If so, when would it be? @agile mortar

[plain cosmos]

They won't, they want players to discover them

If I understand that correctly

[kind lava]

Most likely it's in the transmission.

[kind lava]

No?!

[hushed topaz]

They showed off every tahr and moose G1 so I highly doubt they won't show the fox and pheasant off

Nevermind, Jaxy liked the message-

[plain cosmos]

Idk, I thought they were talking about that in video

[agile mortar]

we like to switch things up. we thought it would be fun to give the community a chance to discover them

[hushed topaz]

I might not be remembering correctly lol

That's certainly new. I like it

[plain cosmos]

Yessir, I know I was right

[lean quarry]

Can you tell us anything about the price of the new DLCs ?

[plain cosmos]

Or I was hoping

[agile mortar]

that im not sure of yet but you can expect it to be comparable to other releases that are similar. suppose that doesnt help with the reserve though.. soon as i have a price to share i will. may have that info on tuesday!

[kind lava]

@agile mortar, so on Tuesday's stream you'll only show the map with its species, the new shotgun with skeet shooting, the new dog and the weapon pack, right?

[vale grotto]

They did it with bears

[cinder orchid]

I'm like a little kid before Christmas

This is just so exciting for me

[kind lava]

For you and for the entire community, or at least I hope so, this is a great update with a huge effort behind it from the entire technical team.

[cinder orchid]

This ⬆️

[fair minnow]

Can’t wait to see more about the dog

[abstract lodge]

basicly the same just points to a animal i mean what more you need to know

its not gonna track they are implementing useing multiple dogs together

[glass hull]

do you all think the great one phes is gonna be huge

[abstract lodge]

so honestly dogs dont wow me on cotw i like spot and stalk but few buddys are hella hype for it

[glass hull]

that’d be kinda funny

[abstract lodge]

i doubt it my just crazy plumage

[glass hull]

so far

fat*

[abstract lodge]

might be a lil chunky

[glass hull]

i’m excited for it i’m not sure how hard it’ll be to get but i don’t have one yet and struggle with trying to get great ones

[abstract lodge]

bro i struggle hunting phesant but hopefully they rework them be nice to have em flying over feilds in hirsch

most time they flee to the brush and its over on hirsch anyway so dense

[glass hull]

not sitting in trees a ton hopefully

i’m excited for waterfowl re work too

[abstract lodge]

tbh i hardly hunt ducks as there terrible atm but maybe ill do more after the update

[manic sinew]

how are we doing this fine friday afternoon?

[glass hull]

they just land outside the spread or on land and it’s annoying

[dusky wolf]

I’m not excited to hunt pheasants for the great one 💀

They’re already a pain to hunt atm

Excited to see how they look though

Great one foxes I can already guess what they’ll look like if semi domestic foxes are anything to go by

[kind lava]

Well, until the community finds them, we won't see them.

[solar grotto]

Ngl for pheasants I think my plan is sporadic tents on cuatro and then 22lr and 12 gauge

[dusky wolf]

I can already guess some of the fur coats such as the cross fox

[dusky wolf]

I would love pheasants more if we didn’t have to shoot them in the air, same as the other species like quails and ptarmigans

[dim saffron]

Silver Fox
Cross Fox
White and black Piebald style

That’s at least 3 im thinking of

[worthy schooner]

Im happy the fox will be a G1 but, pheasants...

i mean im happy for both

it'll be great

[worthy schooner]

Now you see, thats a G2

[dim saffron]

What do you mean

G2

[worthy schooner]

like, great one...

but the second-

yeah it isnt funny no more

[dim saffron]

Well i didn’t get it, that’s for sure hahaha

[worthy schooner]

hehe

[weak smelt]

Just shoot them on the ground for respawns

When grinding at least

[worthy schooner]

you smart, you very smart, matter of fact you a genius

[plucky forge]

Will expansive worlds show us how those new g1s would look like before release?

[torn comet]

scroll up a bit and you will get the answer

[dim saffron]

Like the rest of the species cast (1 mammal and 6 birds) ?

[kind lava]

5* birds and 1 mammal

[dim saffron]

Black Grouse, Ring-Necked Pheasant, Gadwall, Ferruginous Duck, what else was said already ?

[kind lava]

Black grouse, Common raccoon, raccoon Dog, red Fox, ring-necked Pheasant, European Rabbit, Greylag goose, Gadwall and ferryginous duck, 5 birds and 1 mammal are missing to know.

[dim saffron]

was Greylag confirmed or people assessed it was greylag based on the sounds they made in the trailer ?

[stray basalt]

Assumed, correct

[glad nacelle]

Arctic fox?

He needs head pats

[delicate patio]

Wish the .300 blackout was 2-6

cause I always take a shotgun as my class 1 gun and would ahve nothing for class 2

[glad nacelle]

PFFFFT

no

[delicate patio]

Why?

[glad nacelle]

Have you ever shot an animal with 300 blackout?

[delicate patio]

No

[glad nacelle]

Do you know what 308 is?

[delicate patio]

well I havent looked at 300 blackout too much

yes

[glad nacelle]

Okay same bullet practically snubbed down in a 556 casing

[delicate patio]

well then shouldnt they bump up the class?

I might just not know

[glad nacelle]

That’s why it’s the class that it is

[delicate patio]

oh ok

[worthy schooner]

yeah idk what i created

ig im a rapper now

or a wrapper

[weak smelt]

There was a picture comparing .375, .300 mag, .308, 450 bm, .300 blk, and .223

[glad nacelle]

He doesn’t know the rounds

@delicate patio

There’s the classes

[delicate patio]

Ty

[glad nacelle]

But 2 is way too small for 300 blk

[delicate patio]

Ok thanks for your help

[weak smelt]

Still shows a good size comparison

[glad nacelle]

6 to me is even a bit of a stretch because who in there right mind would kill a red deer or mulie with it

But it’s a game I digresse

[languid wedge]

Just leaves us the sks to be class 2-6

[glad nacelle]

That I could see

Maybe at least a lower powered version for raccoon dogs or smaller game

They need to buff the mosin if anything

Considering I’ve been having fun arguing with people over the new small game bird map

[delicate patio]

arent red deer basically the size of elk?

if they are they should be class 7

[weak smelt]

Smaller

[delicate patio]

oh

[languid wedge]

Weight wise elk is pushing 2x bigger+

[delicate patio]

oh damn

[weak smelt]

Elk need to be moved back to class 8 tbh

[delicate patio]

Yeah

I agree

[weak smelt]

And get a remodel

[languid wedge]

Scaling antler to body ratio on rockys would be great

[glad nacelle]

Weight wise they are completely different red deer weigh about 450 ish lbs for a big one Rosevelt elk can be like nearly 1300 lbs

[languid wedge]

You know something that's honestly easy to forget that bull elk push moose weights

[weak smelt]

Another damn troll moose off yukon

2nd troll today

Also just hit 1000 harvests since new game

Bow time

[stray basalt]

I mean…. .300BLK is becoming a pretty popular round for coyotes

It’s clearly not overpowered

[dreamy goblet]

I mean, a new 2-6 would be kinda neat tbh..

and the 300BLK would fit it quite well.

[kind lava]

I've been looking at all the fox furs and I think it's not crazy to think that this could be a Great One fur.

[fierce bay]

could be but to me i more looks like a remastered orange fur type ... unless it have a crazy pattern or something like that on the chest (we cant see the chest )

im thinking more of these fur types for the GO fox

[kind lava]

It may be, but what distracts me is the entire snout and legs in a dull black.

[fierce bay]

the version right no dosent have such a black snout and legs but the old one on the other hand have quiet black legs. I guess we have to wait till we find out ...

[kind lava]

Well yes, in Tuesday's broadcast we will see the remastering of the fox but not the GO, although we will be able to know if the one in the trailer is the GO or not.

[fierce bay]

the old piepald would be a nice fur aswell

or the new have more piepald versions

[lean quarry]

They already remastered the fox in 12.2022 so I don't get why they are changing it.

[fierce bay]

because it looked good but wasent realy 100% acurate i think

[kind lava]

We'll have to wait until Tuesday to find out.

[lean quarry]

Yeah too fluffy

[scarlet bluff]

not so sure it was a model change as much as it was the fur getting touched up

model might have got a touch up here and there though along with new animations

[fierce bay]

oh and the animations got a complete rework

[dreamy goblet]

This picture...brings back memories of my THC Fox Cross grind XD.

[dim saffron]

That's a red fox

[dim saffron]

he had lots

He is from a rehabilitation center

That's my picture !

The animals there serves as ambassadors or animals that can't be released back to the wild for various reasons

[plucky forge]

any new photos of those new g1s?

[dim saffron]

hahaha

It didn't remember it looked like that

[fierce bay]

Maybe it looked different found it on Google and it was saying piepald fox ...

[dim saffron]

I never shot a piebald fox tho (even tho i started playing in 2017 on xbox)

I did see many on youtube videos of the game, and i have been watching youtube videos of the game since like 2018

[fierce bay]

No and from i heared they wont Gunnar Show them of until one got found

[plucky forge]

oh ok

[gaunt sparrow]

I got a leak of the great one red fox

[brave temple]

Fabled Scribble

[abstract lodge]

so when is the update

[fierce bay]

december 3rd

[abstract lodge]

sweet

[reef rover]

Is the new map only small game?

[quaint lintel]

Fabled Fire Red Fox

[dreamy goblet]

As far as we know, yes.

Which im quite happy about.

I like small game.

[reef rover]

cool

will be a nice change of pace

[dreamy goblet]

Im just glad that we're getting a new Double Barrel.

Especially a O/U

[orchid saffron]

I would be glad if they do one normal map and then a little one with little games of the same environment every year.

[glass hull]

are they adding cross play on the 3rd?

[hollow tundra]

They can't at this point, the game is too old to implement it

[orchid saffron]

I wouldn't be against a the hunter 2

[stray basalt]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1187670413002690590

[stray basalt]

My vote for COTW2

[lucid parcel]

Do you think it will be better than the caggiatore?

[stray basalt]

Yes

It’s 10gaugw

[lucid parcel]

I dont really know much about guns, what exactly does that mean?

[stray basalt]

It’s bigger

By a lot

[lucid parcel]

And that makes it stronger ig?

[stray basalt]

Yeah

More pellets and more powder

[lucid parcel]

Does that effect the range?

[stray basalt]

It’ll have more range

[lucid parcel]

Ohh thats great

[stray basalt]

Just as the other two 10’s have

[lucid parcel]

Thats what i was hoping for

[weak smelt]

Rather have something different tbh

Like .410

[stray basalt]

Don’t get me wrong, I’d would’ve preferred a 28 or .410

[weak smelt]

28 would've been nice too

We already have 2 10ga shotguns.

One being overrated to high hell and the other being fun af

[stray basalt]

I like both

But at the same time

I don’t kill 80 birds at one time

[lean quarry]

Don't know a lot about guns, but why is this considered a great shotgun for birds? The one they released with the 300 AR was also 10 ga, but it's horrible for birds.

[stray basalt]

Horrible?

Are you just bad at the game?

[lean quarry]

You're gonna tell me it's better than the couso or cacchiatore ?

[stray basalt]

Definitely

Semi auto automatically makes it better than any pump action in existence

I don’t care how smooth it is to rack it lol

[weak smelt]

4 shots make it worse tho

[stray basalt]

1 less than the 16

Make your shots count

[weak smelt]

I mean it's not bad, but the cacciatore is better

[amber kiln]

10ga semi is one of my top 3 shotguns in the game. Took me a bit to get used to its iron sights tho, where it has the riser you aim lower than normal. Other than that I mainly carry it or the caversham

[stray basalt]

I like the 20ga mainly

But I haven’t waterfowl hunted in a while

They are annoying little things

I’ll probably get back into it this coming update though

[amber kiln]

I haven’t waterfowl hunted in moths (other than geese). My main waterfowl gun has will possibly always be the 10 ga lever

[rough tree]

I haven't put the Strandberg down lol

i think in terms of feel and aesthetic, the Cuoso is my top favorite, but the speed at which you can send shots out with the semi-auto shotguns is super nice

[gaunt sparrow]

That looks very familiar

[stray basalt]

What?

[amber kiln]

I long for a 28ga in the game

[jovial jolt]

Do any musk deer or water deer or muntjac live in or near the area that Salz is?

[stray basalt]

Yeah

Chinese Muntjac

[jovial jolt]

Damn, that would be cool if it was added, but they said only new species were ducks right?

[stray basalt]

I’m not sure, I’m going to wait till it releases to make any real thoughts.

[jovial jolt]

I hope it has something like that or even roe deer

That would keep the theme of small game but also add more mammals n stuff

[long spade]

There's also a population of Sika deer in that area too

[night scaffold]

The Salzwiesen have the largest sika deer population in Germany, if I'm not mistaken. So it’s he most likely animal species for the new map. I really hope so!

[long spade]

Yup, I'm gonna hold out a little hope until proven otherwise

[sullen badge]

From what it looks like, they aren't going to have any big game species on the map?? Unless that's changed

[long spade]

There's one mammal unnamed and nothing yet has said the park is exclusively small game. They added a 10ga for class 1, and the smallest caliber in the weapon pack overs 3-6 so either the weapon pack is useless in the new area or There's a class 3 in there somewhere

[jovial jolt]

That would be so cool

[stiff hornet]

Makes sense to me. It’s essentially a massive salt marsh surrounded by semi-open woodlands and farmland. It’s the absolute perfect habitat for them.

[amber kiln]

They’re called marsh deer for a reason

[stiff hornet]

Yep. I’ve always wanted to see them on a map with Salt Marshes, and prior to this maps announcement I only thought that would happen in a Virginia/Maryland map. Considering that Germanys Sika population is sizeable, I feel they’d fit well.

[amber kiln]

I would love a Maryland/virginia map even a Maine map, since they all have marsh deer to a good extent

I’m holding out hope for a backfill to the new map eventually with sikas

[weak smelt]

I've been saying virginia map for ages

[stiff hornet]

Either a backfill or they end up there to begin with (unless I missed some news of what the missing mammal species is).

[weak smelt]

RM elk in the west, sika in the east

[amber kiln]

Perfect opossum introduction map too since it’s literally in their name

[stiff hornet]

And Whitetail everywhere. Virginia is the place I’d go to hunt Eastern Whitetail.

[weak smelt]

I mean tbf it's quite the distance between the two sides of va but there's also a jungle and the himalayas like 3km apart on sundar lol

[weak smelt]

There's tons of open fields and our forests are super flat so spotting stuff is pretty easy

Basically a north american cuatro

Could also add some more north american waterfowl too

[stiff hornet]

Yeah, but I feel they could make a Virginia map work, even as a mini map if they have to. It has a sizeable amount of Small Game Animals that aren’t in game yet (Opossums, Beavers, Muskrat, Nutria, Marsh Rabbit, Porcupines, maybe even Fishers if EW is up for adding a rare species).

[weak smelt]

I'd really like to see it as the last american map they add

Because honestly it's the only place i can see them being able to add

[languid wedge]

Squirrels as well

[stiff hornet]

The only other place that’s in the US that I could see is Florida and Hawaii (in terms of regular sized maps) and Wyoming or Idaho (in terms of mini maps).

[weak smelt]

I feel like they could do it like sundar. Appalachians in the west. Central VA in between, and Chesapeake bay in the east

[stiff hornet]

Yeah that would be a good one

[plucky forge]

Any news?

[weak smelt]

About?

[plucky forge]

New map , Great Ones

[weak smelt]

After the show? No

[plucky forge]

Arl

[rustic hedge]

Sorry if this gas been answered.....with the new update, will there be a population reset of all species?

[weak smelt]

only euro rabbit, red fox, and cinnamon teal

[warm nexus]

Florida is pretty similar to Mississippi, and Maine is very similar to NEM. I'd like to see a SD badlands map.

[stray basalt]

I don’t think anything’s been confirmed

[warm nexus]

I wrote a proposal for it somewhere, but it got buried.

[stray basalt]

I’d like to see Florida, Texas, and the Dakota’s to finalize America

Unless we get a Kodiak Island map

[warm nexus]

I wouldn't even necessarily want new animals on some of the maps. Just different terrain would be fun too. Like, I love the prairies and dislike the woods.

Especially at night.

Someone made a new one just the other day: https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1271927456323993610

I linked my proposal there, in case some of the work I'd done was useful.

[winged steppe]

Do you think afognak island would be a good map?

[stray basalt]

I’d just make it one big Kodiak Island map

Since there’s more species on Kodiak

[winged steppe]

That’s what I was typing out to ask😂

[stray basalt]

Why thank you!

Kodiak Island has Elk, Reindeer, Blacktail deer, tons of small game

Oh and of course bears

[dreamy goblet]

NGL.

I'd honestly love it if there were Pidgeons / Doves in Salzwiesen

[orchid saffron]

What G1 will you all go for first?

[dreamy goblet]

Probs the Fox, but I dont really grind for G1s

[sharp parrot]

Im going for The fox

[dim saffron]

Fox

Always wanted to grind foxes

Started doing it with gray and red foxes on NEM a while back

[kind lava]

@agile mortar Two questions:
1 Has the sense of smell been eliminated only in birds or in hares and rabbits as well?
2 Will there be a Dev Diary of the new map?

[stone mural]

Will the geese undergo changes in the update?

[quaint lintel]

The Dev Diary of the map #📢︴game-news message

[kind lava]

It is not a diary of the map, but of clay shooting

[quaint lintel]

That's a good point actually, then I wonder why they named it Salzwiesen Park Dev Diary lol

I wanna see the full species list

[jade wyvern]

Im sure we will get it this week

[limber cliff]

Might not hear from him as it's a weekend

[winter pasture]

Do we know all the animals on the new map yet?

[fierce bay]

not all
Black grouse
Raccoon dog
Raccoon
Pheasant
Rabbit
Ferruginous Duck
Gadwall
Red fox
and probably greylag goose since you heared them in the trailer

[night trench]

I mean the rest is guessable since there are 10 birds but only 2 new ones

[fierce bay]

yeah it will probaly only be all ducks from rev

[languid wedge]

It....has.... reindeer???

[stray basalt]

Yeah

Introduced

For hunting iirc

[languid wedge]

Ohhh

I never knew that

[stone mural]

Will the geese undergo change?

[languid wedge]

It's unknown rn we just know ducks will

[night trench]

Why do geese need change?

[stone mural]

They also don't land on decoys

[fierce bay]

the decoys are standing 50 meters to my left and the geese ar elanding right on top of of me ....
just why

[stone mural]

exactly, I always hunted geese but because of that I got discouraged

[brisk mauve]

Do we know the full species list for the new map btw

It’s 15 total just what are all of them

[stray basalt]

No

[fierce bay]

these are the confirmed species
Black grouse
Raccoon dog
Raccoon
Pheasant
Rabbit
Ferruginous Duck
Gadwall
Red fox
and probably greylag goose since you heared them in the trailer

[lone forge]

Could depend on wind

You generally want the decoys to be in the green area of your conpas

[fierce bay]

have the feeling they start comming down over the decoys and fly a straight line to the ground

[fierce bay]

i know they land against the wind

[lone forge]

If its easy wind the geese would land like this

Then theyre is usually no issue

Great spot btw

[fierce bay]

thank but i dont hunt magpie geese have you maybe one one for greylag ?

[lone forge]

What wind do you have?

[fierce bay]

mostly in the western direction

[lone forge]

If you got south this is best

For me personally

[fierce bay]

ah okay

[lone forge]

Place the decoys 25-35 meters south of you

You can use a tripod or a tree stand if that doesn't block your view is optimal

I assumed you hunt them on rev like every sane person

[fierce bay]

yeah thats my setup right now

[lone forge]

Looks fine

[fierce bay]

maybe it works better after the update

[lone forge]

I haven't had much problem with waterfowl after I started shooting hens

[fierce bay]

or if saltwiesen also have greylag i´m gonna hunt them on the fields

[fierce bay]

most of my shooted greylags are hens

[lone forge]

Gotta kill the whole flock

[lone forge]

Understandable

Still in need of that hybrid graylag

You hunt on PC right?

[fierce bay]

yeah

[lone forge]

Already killed like 60 magpie geese today

I really want that mela

[fierce bay]

would love to have a trophy of them found al vl 5 yesterday in multiplayer and didnt found it again ...

[fierce bay]

yeah they look awesome

[lone forge]

I got all the waterfowl species in diamond pretty soon after rev release

Goldeneye took a while

[brisk mauve]

So six more

[lone forge]

I still want a hybrid Goldie

[fierce bay]

5 bird 1 mammal we will probably find out on thuesday

[lone forge]

I really wonder what that mammal is

Lynx may be?

[fierce bay]

im hoping for sika or roe deer

[lone forge]

Sika would be sick I feel like roe would've gotten rework

[fierce bay]

lynx only would, in my opinion, work if they are rarer then snow leopards on this map

[fierce bay]

yeah they realy need one

[lone forge]

Yeah

And only in like forest areas

But on the other hand we have black grouse on a map based in Schleswig Holstein

[fierce bay]

hhm yeah what ever thougt about that but im okay with that

[lone forge]

No way

I just looked up a range map and theyre fairly close

They deserve it

I wonder if weel see wood or hazel grouse on this map

[fierce bay]

hopping we have atleast a bit of these biom on the map

[lone forge]

Ooh

Sexy

[kind lava]

According to the data from the search I carried out, there are no populations of any of the species in that place.

[brisk mauve]

Not Tuesday

Isn’t that the streams?

[lone forge]

Yeah

But I think weel get the full list

[brisk mauve]

So it is Tuesday?

[lone forge]

Stream yeah

Map the Tuesday after

[fierce bay]

if thuesday was day after monday than yeah

[kind lava]

The only options left to us to know the rest of the species are the European hare and 5 ducks...

[lone forge]

Yeah they're more central/south Germany

[lone forge]

Or geese

But european hare without rework?

[midnight moon]

How exciting

[lone forge]

I find so

But seriously they could've added Huns and a cupple more new ducks

Like Pochards or shoverlers

[kind lava]

It is true that the Canadian goose can also be perfectly fine.

[lone forge]

Or tundra bean

[fierce bay]

or greylag

[kind lava]

The new ducks that could have been added apart from the two new ones that were already announced are the northern pintail and the northern shoveler.

[fierce bay]

what animal is that

[midnight moon]

Looks like the theoretical range of something

[kind lava]

According to my research, they are not common in that place, the only common ones are the canada goose, the greylag goose and the barnacle goose.

[brisk mauve]

Ok

[kind lava]

That one is already confirmed

[midnight moon]

More greylag?

[fierce bay]

basicly confirmed

[lone forge]

Every goose ingame for that matter, barnacle or brant goose would've been pretty sweet...

With barnacles even Beeing legal in Schleswig Holstein

[kind lava]

They are heard in the trailer and there is also an image where you can see their white asses.

[lone forge]

Black grouse aren't common either

[midnight moon]

What is confirmed then?

[fierce bay]

good point

[midnight moon]

Is it mostly waterfowl?

[kind lava]

yeah

[lone forge]

Or gadwall or ferruginous duck for that matter

[fierce bay]

Black grouse
Raccoon dog
Raccoon
Pheasant
Rabbit
Ferruginous Duck
Gadwall
Red fox
and probably greylag goose since you heared them in the trailer

[kind lava]

That's true, but well, there is a tiny population.

[lone forge]

Yeah that's what this map if for

[lone forge]

Not in Schleswig Holstein

Or may be at the very edge

[lone forge]

I like it, everything has its fans

[midnight moon]

It'd better be cheap

[vale grotto]

Well theres gunna be a bundle for all 3 dlcs I do believe, the map is smaller so I think it will be slightly cheaper then the other maps

[kind lava]

They could have added more new ducks instead of repeating so many species and adding common quails or grey partridges or both.

[midnight moon]

The Jannmeister has spoken

[fierce bay]

it will have 15 species in total these are just the confirmed but its also like half size of an normal map

[lone forge]

Yes

[lone forge]

She has

[midnight moon]

There's a dog one too?

[fierce bay]

pointer

[kind lava]

According to my research, there is a population of approximately 600 specimens in the north of the region.

[vale grotto]

Dog, Weapon pack and map

[midnight moon]

Ig I'll get the weapon one then

[lone forge]

European Pochards
Common scoters
Common eiders
Barnacle goose
Hungarian partridge
Common quail
Eurasian woodcock
Northern shoveler

Just some examples

[lone forge]

You see I won't because I don't care and that's fine, turns out we have different opinions lol

[midnight moon]

The 375 is the only good weapon

The 450 might be satisfactory

[midnight moon]

Even the weapon pack might be poory value, we'll see

[peak cedar]

Still only 2 species out of the whole map will be new, if I read it correctly?

[lone forge]

Also it's not like ducks need super crazy programming like tigers, you can copy the ai, animations and rig

That would've been better then that the dogs can pee and poo differently depending on theyre s3x

[peak cedar]

I didn't care about dogs much until they added pointers, a dog that has a real purpose, expands the gameplay

I found the bloodhound mediocre considering by default tracks you know... glow?

[lone forge]

Me to

[peak cedar]

I wonder if they will change the AI or mechanics of euro rabbits when they are retouched

[cinder orchid]

They could remodel the burrows

[peak cedar]

I more curious about rendering with them

[kind lava]

@lone forge A list of species that I think would be difficult to beat would be the following:

• Red Fox ( class 2 )
• Raccoon Dog ( class 2 )
• Common Raccon ( class 2 )
• European Rabbit ( class 1 )
• European Hare ( class 1 )
• Common-Wood Pigeon ( class 1 ) - New
• Common Quail ( class 1 ) - New
• Ring-Necked Pheasant ( class 1 )
• Eurasian Teal ( class 1 )
• Eurasian Wigeon ( class 1)
• Mallard ( class 1 )
• Gadwall ( class 1 ) - New
• Ferruginous Duck ( class 1 ) - New
• Northern Shoveler ( class 1 ) - New
• Greylag Goose ( class 1 )
  The waterfowl species are debatable but I think the number of them is about right and I have not added the eurasian woodcock and grey partridge because there are no populations in that region or at least I have not found evidence that there are.

But unfortunately it will be this one here:

• Red Fox ( class 2 )
• Raccoon Dog ( class 2 )
• Common Raccon ( class 2 )
• European Rabbit ( class 1 )
• European Hare ( class 1 )
• Black Grouse ( class 1 )
• Ring-Necked Pheasant ( class 1 )
• Goldeneye ( class 1 )
• Eurasian Teal ( class 1 )
• Eurasian Wigeon ( class 1 )
• Mallard ( class 1 )
• Gadwall ( class 1 ) - New
• Ferruginous Duck ( class 1 ) - New
• Tufted Duck ( class 1 )
• Greylag Goose ( class 1 )

[peak cedar]

right now you can place a tripod and tent 25 meters away from their "zones" and just spawn mash essentially

this is coming from someone whos killed, uh...8,000+?

[cinder orchid]

Wtf

8k my god

[peak cedar]

so I am quite excited about them being updated lol

[cinder orchid]

💀

[peak cedar]

seems like a high number but it's not hard

[cinder orchid]

Do you have a personal issue with them or what😭

[peak cedar]

I want a SR still never got one

[cinder orchid]

Imagine if it was a light gray sr

Wouldn't be worth the time for me

[peak cedar]

I'm still convinced that's a bugged fur lol

I don't even tax those anymore

[cinder orchid]

How many diamonds do you have? Cuz like.. jeez

[peak cedar]

well I had an entire reset a while back, stopped playing for a few months when they stopped making interesting content (imo)

total? I have no idea 😂

I found hirsch to be the superior map for them, this new one will change that. It's smaller

[lone forge]

I'd do

Red fox
Racoon dog
Recoon
European rabbit
European badger
Barnacle goose
Brant goose
Common eider
Northern shoveler
Common Pochard
Hungarian partridge
Pheasant
Common quail
Ferruginous duck
Gadwall

Sticking to the 10 birds 5 mammals theme

I wouldn't do pigeon couse I feel like that would take up a bunch of programming power

[lone forge]

Which animal?

[peak cedar]

Euro rabbits

[lone forge]

Oh yeah

Absolutely

[brisk mauve]

I want eiders

[peak cedar]

they don't spawn like any other species so prior rendering didn't impact them

[brisk mauve]

And scoters

[lucid parcel]

That would definetly be great

[lone forge]

Me to, so badly we should've gotten them with Finland already

And oldsquaws

[brisk mauve]

Or if New England was coastal

Which it should have been

[lucid parcel]

Does someone know if we will get all decoys of all the ducks in the new map or Just the decoys for the new ducks?

[peak cedar]

I think it's the fact EW had a stream showing them off (broken/bugged) and still went "okay, they're broken. Release next week" it was the tipping point of their "controversial track record" for releases lol

[lone forge]

Hopefully we'll get tufted duck and goldeneye on the coast and not mallards or something

[kind lava]

It is also an incredible map but I would still change a goose for a pigeon, it is one of the most hunted birds in the region.

[lone forge]

That's true

[peak cedar]

At least I think in the last year of so they haven't had any bugs that were super obvious?

I haven't played much

[long spade]

Unless something changed, we aren't getting badgers, jaxy said the ducks are the only new species

[cinder orchid]

I have issues with switching loadouts, it always takes like 20s for the game to switch my weapons

Also the painting tool sometimes bugs out and shows blue squares instead of the colours and sprays

[brisk mauve]

Literally the biggest mistake becuase I go to Maine constantly

[cinder orchid]

Biggest ones for me rn

[peak cedar]

that's small potatoes compared to things from 2-3 years ago ha

[brisk mauve]

And salt marched and beached along with the foliage would have been peak

[cinder orchid]

Well yeah I was already around by then

[brisk mauve]

Such a huge amount of new species to use

[lone forge]

That's true

[peak cedar]

so we are getting more than 2 new species?

[brisk mauve]

Prop not

💀

[quaint lintel]

Imagine this map doesn't have class 3? 💀 you can take only the hornet and it covers everything 💀

I'm just gonna take the 243 pistol and all shotguns

Plus the virant ofc

[long spade]

It must have one other wise there's nothing n the weapon pack to use on the new reserve e eryone will want to be on

[quaint lintel]

Yea, hopefully roe deer

[rare arch]

Bro just imagine they added polar bears next year because it showed some sort of winter nap when cotw introduced salzweizen park

[wind stone]

It’s more than likely a northern Canada map so probably

[brisk mauve]

PLEASE EW

Give me scoters and eiders and my soul is yours

I mean any polar map the polar bear is a given at this rate

[stray basalt]

I literally have no idea why’d they hype it up so heavily if it didn’t

[hot rose]

I hope so hard.

Nunavut would be utterly perfect.

[rare arch]

It'll probably have the same mechanic as tigers where they all stalk you or maybe they should run very fast towards you. And there will probably be a limited number of them on the map

Cuz polar bears are very aggressive

[stray basalt]

I’m expecting snow leopard numbers.

[hot rose]

What I find very interesting is that they could use the aquatic crocodile behavior on walrus, and have them run into the sea if they get spooked.

[rare arch]

That'd be cool

[stray basalt]

Seals too

[limber cliff]

-# Thats a walrus

[vale grotto]

Was abt to say that

[long spade]

It's a seal on the left

[limber cliff]

yeh. One is, not th'other

[long spade]

So it's a buck toothed seal

[limber cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/conceited-idk-man-umm-sure-gif-10183510

[long spade]

Am I wrong? No, no I am not

[inland kite]

Polar bears, muskox, caribou, arctic wolves, seals, etc. There's a lot of potential although we'll just have to wait and see

[weak smelt]

Caribou and reindeer rework with the new artic map🙏🙏🙏

[long spade]

Please EW!!!

[pine lily]

PLEASE

[long spade]

I hope the winter map means Medved gets some reworks, musk deer look amazing irl and if they added Roe deer to Medved they could remodel them based on Liberian roe deer so they could have incredible antlers

[lone forge]

Yes

Just yes

[long spade]

Boo no bird, only mammal

[weak smelt]

Musk deer need a remodel

Badly

[lone forge]

I want high Arctic

Talking northern Canada

Putting all the focus in the barren high Arctic

[long spade]

Irl musk deer, if you didn't know what we mean

[pine lily]

he head pointy

bro got that cheese-o-matic cranium
