Hello, one of my mates is having an issues of joining people and his game is saying that he is running the wrong version how can we fix this, it says that is has the dev commond panal, is there a way that we can fix this, if u would like to contact him his at is @lapis plank
It doesn’t startup anymore on Xbox series x. It shows the startup screen for about 1 sec. and then exit!
Did they drop the update and go to bed? Xbox is broken
Please send a DM to the @honest isle bot with any relevant screenshots, please and thank you
Unlikely since its... 12:30 here. Have you put in an online ticket? https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=4415262260242
They always stitch us up and then dip out for coffee bro
No I’ve done that too many times to count and have never had it do any good, but I did immediately make a post in the support channel
good afternoon. and what happened to the ducks after the update? I can only knock them down with the third or fourth shot.
Don’t you know… they fixed them
i hope i don't lose my nearly 1000 fallow grins progress 😢
I tried, but they didn't fix it.
Oh I know my friend, sarcasm isn’t well expressed in text lol
I got it))))))
On Xbox it’s a 20gb update and then the game won’t start so I think my game is more fixed than yours
ok will do ill get him to send it in
Support posts are nice, but if there is an influx of issues, they might get missed depending on how fast the forum fills.
In the future, even if its just copy/pasting a post into the ticket - please do that. Even if "it doesn't help" it gives the Support team a place to start
That said, I asked around if anyone above has heard anything re: Xbox not working.
If i hear something back I'll let you know
Same thing is happening to everyone
I have the same issue. Ticket postet.
I second this. I can't even start my game
I have xbox one
We're trying to resolve the issue with Xbox asap. Thank you for all the reports!
What about pc
Hello, Expansive World, What is your goal in your game? Sorry for the translation because I am French. The Pheasant is unkillable up close and far away, I don't have the right areas to shoot from afar. Listen to the community please (the good community) Your "bug" for the pheasant which remains for a few seconds on the ground is not a "bug" it is a realistic animation, I don't know if you have seen pheasants in real life but when they are close to you, they go into the bushes and hide. Why did you change this? everyone loved farming this way, you just lose community like animal respawn time 15 minutes. So please look at this post and respond. I just want to debate, talk nothing more. Thank you for your understanding. Good day.
I’m with you bro what they did is take our money and mess things up when it was already perfectly fine
Please instead of posting this in several places, especially since the Devs don't sit and scroll discord all day looking for comments, your best bet is to make or join a #1067511606373785730 post that aligns with your topic and bring the conversation there.
Yea the pheasant were perfectly fine and they are supposed to run into the bushes so I don’t know why they had to go and ruin it.
Ok thanks you moderator 😉
Yes bro
Mainly because of Mississippi releasing right
Thay will take it back
With as much back lash as thare getting rn that'll revert it 100%
And then they always come up with the same excuse “it was an exploit”
anyone know what the update was
i’m seeing lots of people complaining
won’t even let me load up
not really
just updated my game, it’s opening then closing straight away does anyone know the problem?
literally doing that for me to
Are you guys on Xbox
yeah
yea
“It wasn’t working as intended “ is what we will get
Yea a lot of Xbox people can’t open their game
average cotw update
Xbox and PC are having issues
does anyone know why? like is it servers or just an average thing cos im only new to the game ?
i just restarted my xbox
still hasn’t fixed it
yh it’s kinda sad
expansive try not to break the game after every update, challenge impossible
updated a game for me just not to play it 😭
And they say they listen to the community😩😭
Well they do
explains the million dlcs
only two maps for free is kinda crazy to me
thank you EW for taking my money and then making fun of me, you are a joke
Only the youtubers
We literally just got a pack CREATED BY THE COMMUNITY
once every 5 months
there like 3 bucks it’s not that much 😭🙏
still adds up when you get all of them
dlcs add up more then the game actually costs
true
The summer dlc I’m sure is entirely based in community feedback
Not my fault you live in the land of inflation😬
Why do you keep saying guys? You know women play too right?
Why is my game opening then immediately crashing
I do too
They broke it in the update
But to say they don’t listen to their community is wrong
it’s not that serious
Flat out
cos they broke it
like always
all that's left is to stop playing this game and let the people at EW play it themselves
I didn't say it was I just noticed they said guys alot and it was confusing
could just be saying it as a group term
They sure as hell listen better to their community than rockstar does to Red Dead Online.
How many do you have?
why are you acting like red dead online isnt an abandoned game
The one update I’d like to see is that g1s have a small chance to trolllike normal animals
It was abandoned by rockstar
yeah….?
What is the update today about it’s taking forever?
You sound like a child😂😂😂
bug fixes but the broke the game even more
How so?
won’t even let most people load in
Do you need to get screened? Are you lacking social cue awareness?
what are you on about dude
Thanks I hope mine works
They f’ed up the pheasant grind, people on Xbox and pc can’t get in the game
I’ve done multiple grinds
Oh like they made it too easy right?
No the pheasant fly away before you even get to the tent
What are you on about
This game is dead
??
Well then…. leave
It will be if they keep doing stupid stuff like they have for the past few years
Bro why are yous arguing when we should be angry at ew for taking our money
i’m not bothered abt that it’s just the game breaks every single update
Take our money then stuff the game up
Why are we fighting with each other? Tf
anyone else thinks they should fix great one spawn rates
been playing since 2018 only have 3
Make them 98% chance of spawning
Fix an RNG factor?
they really aren’t
That's just bad luck I spawned 4 in 800 kills
Okay but seriously - can we create a discussion post? Instead of flooding the chat, as I stated before?
that just doesn’t sound legit
at all
I've seen crazier stuff happen RNG is like that
Is tykmas a mod? Because they've been very passive aggressive in alot of responses and its making me not like the team in charge of this game
The spawns come at random rng it’s just luck the spawns are fine
yeah she is
...I didn't say you were going to get scammed?
I asked for y'all to make a post to discuss it -
Wow big oof
Yeah this game will die if the team keeps acting like they don't care lol
That’s not how it works
tell me abt it
I can say just as much as you can, but ultimately, having civil discourse and not dragging everything and having a thread they can reference will go further than me going "Hey people hate this"
If you want to talk go here https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1316032026117406740
since your a mod you can tell us what’s wrong with the servers
Hire a new mod 😂
If EW can waste our time and money then they have the time to read through this channel
deadset 😭🙏
Oh no...
I mean, sure, Go off with yaself on that.
I'm just tryna say, the topic will change and this will get buried
literally spent over £85 on this game for it to work 70% of the time
that’s just stupid
Sounds like they should get on it quickly then huh?
Wild that they already are aware and y'all have been told they are working on a resolution
but you know
the chat moved past it and y'all didn't see that I guess
Can you yap your little ear off in here
https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1316032026117406740
Your just trying to cover up ew mess just leave it to them they’ll listen to us if they want to keep the game alive
Not if everyone is still mad about it it won't get buried. People are mad and they will stay mad until things get fixed. The pheasant thing isn't something I've experienced because I can't even load the game soooo
Again. Please don't ping the account -
why
Big leap, fam
I'm telling you all to be civil about how you handle yourselves.
Because the rules literally say this:
lol
Uh huh.
Ping the account, maybe they will do something other than a passive aggressive mod breaking their own be considerate rule
Being rude and mean is not going to get things fixed faster, they didn't mean for this to happen and are trying to fix it and despite everyones disgusting behaviour mods are still here reassuring yous, you should be thankful they are putting up with this and not just blocking people.
It’s not just that tho it’s the pheasants😭
The ping is for important things, this is important
So.,.. What I would say then, is by reading that post.. If things are getting resolved.. then things will be fixed?
I just started the update on Xbox should I not install it and try to play offline for now anyone else figure out how to play
DO NOT INSTALL
I Hope they Figuren everything Out on Like a day or so and dont Take for ever
They have one ping - though. People don't need to KEEP pinging is the thing
@timber stream i still better have my albino wolf still when i spawn in.
Probably at work I would guess, its only 14:30 you know
Might wanna just load up cabellas dangerous hunts atp
Without the update can’t play online anyways would have to play offline I usually insure to play online so everything saves to the cloud
Some people live other parts of the world you know
Except they dont live on Discord?? They probably are on Slack or something.. doing work 
Sorry sorry, 2:30pm
Lmao
I never said you were buckaroo.
Not everyone does 24h clock
Wow I hate this mod she should be fired lol
He means time zones
@timber stream please put the pheasants back
I Hope they get IT figured Out fast and dont Take AS Long AS usally for an Update
Hi is COTW having issues? My game won’t load up?
I'm a she but yes lol
So sorry
Go ahead and file a @honest isle and ask a CM to review. Surely they would get back to you about it
Yeah I understood when they fired back about not being dumb.
She's so rude lmao
MKay 🙃
I see now why the game is dying, they hire the worst people who don't care about the game at all or the people who give them money for it
is it just pheasants and xbox servers that are bust or anything more i’m seeing people complain about deer grinds being bust
Passive aggressiveness isn't a good quality for a moderator
Fr
They can't please everyone
not trying to be rude but do you not have a hobby or anything else to do
with your time
at all
I do in fact have hobbies!
I cross stitch and crochet :3
thought so
Well I'll be sure to never message a mod for help with anything on the game since I know it's not worth it lol
And no one cares about your hobby, learn to be a proper mod
She was directly asked about hobbies and answered
You like 16?
binx asked, I answered.
There was cursory curiosity 
feel free to ask @honest isle for help in the future - it'll save you needing to deal with the nasty nasty mods.
she's a mod for a reason??
Make a wish moderator
Yep
Nah Cuz I don't want your help, you're rude and passive aggressive and that's still part of the mod thing
A mod's job is to moderate forum content, not solve your problems with the game.
If you want a solution, create a thread in Support or Feedback where the developers can see it.
Learn to use the right channels...
You missed a lot lol
Tried this, got called controlling and passive aggressive
So.. You know. Gotta live up to my expectations 
So unprofessional lol
Bro she should be kicked out for being aggressive that’s what happenes to us
Fr
The joys of modding 🤣
I'm just gonna leave there's no reason for me to be in a mismanaged discord with no benefit to me anymore lol
Is what it is.
Remeber, in somebodys story you get to be the villain.
A Power Hungry one.
Im an admin in LadyLegends discord and been called a lot worse🤣
Now she tryna be smart👎💀
Honestly don't know what they want you to do, not like you can snap your fingers and it'll all be fixed, they just be mad cause they can be.
I dont think I understand your question.
Modding is all we can do, we have no control over the game or how it works
Is the game fixed yet
And now she making fun of peoples spelling
No
Oh
"Expansive Worlds decreasing in quality since 2017"
damn whys everyone so mad today
No, not particularly,
I don't understand the question that was asked.
Simple
Ah yes of course
Hotfix is 🗑️
Thanks YouTubers
Specifically if you must know, "what stream the hunter of you" - are they askign if I stream the hunter? Or?
I see nothing wrong with how she hndling the chat, actually having to take a lot of crap thats not deserved
Sorry you believed that person - I just needed you to rephrase it.
it’s not the people here who messed up an update, ppl gotta have some patience, it will be fixed man
i’m as sad as anyone i can’t play but i won’t take it out on anyone bc it will get fixed lol
But it’s ew fault it’s not ours and they took our money
What is all this?
Well, people complained that they ran too much.
People mad, I'm terrible, it's my fault the game is broken? Maybe?
The update was fantastic and I love the new map. Sure I find the rabbits disappearing now and then but easily fixed by a reload.
How was it fantastic??
💯
The new map is a very nice change as it allows you to carry a loadout that focuses on the species in it
Just like last map with tigers
Bro it’s not that💀 it’s that they messed up the pheasants and Xbox people can’t even load the game
As for money, COTW is one of the cheapest games to play. DLC are much cheaper then other games
Ah sorry, my bad. I took all the angries and made one big generalized statement
It will be fixed as soon as they can, they had good intentions trying to make the game better and if it was a scam as you said then they would leave it like this but no they are fixing it as we speak be rude as much as you want but it won't change things if you hate it that much uninstall and not pay for any more dlcs.
It doesn’t matter how much it cost it matters that they still scammed us
They tried a change in ai behaviour I see and the point was to make the birds act more real and it worked somewhat. But they do seem to get stuck. To be honest this is also really realistic as you can scare a bird so it just tucks down in the shrubs and refuses to come out.
Must be something you like about the game, you keep buying and playing
🤡
Any pheasant I ran across while hiking with my grandad back when I was young would hunker down in shrubs unless we got too close - then they'd flush, so idk. It seemed right to me
It’s actually not cool to have a corrupted game cause all ya hard work is gone so yea this update wasn’t good
It’s tried to corrupt people games
I haven’t clicked it at all
Have you ever been Pheasant hunting?
You're the 🤡
I have picked up a bird with my hands as it did not dare to fly off
Bro stop covering up their mess u know they messed up so just say it
The only Thing i dont like IS that the phesnats fly instanly before youre even at youre tent
🤣🤣🤣
Theres never been an update without issues, thats coding for you, but they get fixed
How many hrs you got loser
2,500+
It’s not like they didn’t make pheasent flee at 200 meters 😂 lemme shoot a bird with a 22 from that far
@tribal shale They did change the spook to avoid ppl placing tents close to the need zones, but I too think that there may be a bug here as I notice scaring animals 400m away when fast traveling to a tent
Update wasn’t good.
But it always comes to the same excuses like it’s working as intended or it’s an axploit
@vestal oriole the Game Not loading on Xbox IS nore then Just an issue
If you guys don’t like the way people grind just call it out just stop doing it like kids
it’s a game chill out
As Patrycja stated earlier, they are aware and are seeking to resolve this
People should he able to play however they want EW shouldn't expect all of us to sink thousands of hours into their game with little to no rewards
When the game was made it was not intended for consol, by adding consol it added a lot of issues with the coding.
Yeah hopefully IT gets fixes by the end of the weeke
Also, I fully understand that the devs will have to make decisions shaping the gameplay the way they invision it, not after my single person preferences. All I can do is suggest things in the correct forums or suport tickets.
you can get trophies by playing casual it’s designed to have a fine line between grind and chill and both are options you can get trophies but ofc the grind side will get more trophies
I dont Care how Long IT Takes AS Long AS IT gets fixes and i can get my g1s im Happy
I do, pushing 5000 hours
How often do you find great ones while randomly roaming about?
@vestal oriole u love them very much is what it sounds like
what did I say in that did u read it all or no
I’d love it if they’d stop screwing the console side of the game it’s only 50% of their player base
there’s a grind and chill side if you grind you get rewarded
if not you get basic trophies because they are easier to get
In the preview show they said the peasant would be the dark souls of great ones. If you want an easy great one do fallow
Its more the people I have met while playing
The game should have some hard trophies in it
I can tell
snow leopard dimes are one of the hardest casual dimes
Coding takes time, if you think it's that easy go do it yourself, this won't be as quick a fix as you want but it will be fixed.
Snows are brutal 
It wasnt built for consol, thats the big reason
Yeah but are super cool
Honestly one of the prettiest models to date
7 year old games are gonna have hard code to work on and tons of bugs
Wether it was built for console or not it’s half of the player base and it’s been out for on console for like 7 years these issues shouldn’t even still be a thing
To each their own opinions that’s what their for🤷
I mean, opinions. I love how the snow leopards look.
You're fine to dislike them, bud.
Rust was built for pc and they made it work fine on console no game breaking updates
I’ve bought every dlc and camo now I can’t even load the game up ridiculous
Issues happen dude think of all the times the Xbox servers went down this year same with ps stuff happens
Oh no.. Not an insult about my looks. 😂
Yea iv seen you on the cover of bush pigs weekly
You can grind peasants now it's just a little longer than before
Oh well. Thanks for buying 
Can I get an explanation what’s even happening I’ve just been picking up hints so far
Same here with all g1’s & 500+ 💎
So don't grind every zone?
Pheasants broke? Or were adjusted and now people think they're broke?
Also Xbox cant login rn
How does Xbox not work
Do you have Xbox, and can you get on rn?
Likely adjusted for all we know they could have made easier GOs and ppl are just assuming
Funny how people say adjust
I do but can’t rlly
They updated pheasant behavior and made them impossible to grind
They smarter now?
Shotgun don’t shoot 150 yards
If you fast travel on top of them they fly away
Instantly
Yeah they fixed tent behaviors for birds
So the solution is fast travel farther away and then hunt them like normal
They made them the same as all animals and flee faster and leave
Instead of cheesing fast travel mechanics
U are one of the biggest complainers I’ve talked to
Just stop meat riding ew and tell us you messed up
How did I mess up lmao
Stuff happens the Xbox issue could be the Xbox servers themselves
If you are complaining you got scammed out of 7 dollars for a game dlc you're broke as hell
I really wish the pheasants ran towards cover when fleeing until you get close or whistle. (as the original update was intended), not instantly fly away. Feels inconsiderate of EW not to see the impact of an update before they dropped it so quickly.
Not u lil bro💀
The pheasants are like the GO grinds in general they all are way worse now from the tent patches just gotta adjust it’s not fun to but you adjust or give up🤷
Bro has she finally left thank god
💀 sure man you're cool
What even
Nooo she’s back
So this update is just stupid huh, they added the defensive thing with salz release, and now they pretty much made it useless with this update,
I'm too invested in this K-drama called "Winter Update"
She’s is she’s meat riding ew 💀
Can't tune out yet
Or 3rd option, make them switch it back
So like, if people had a thread and got all this discussion in and ideas rolling, EW could read about it. Instead of chat being a shouting match
At this point ew should just say they hate grinders
They won’t but that’d prolly shut a lot of ppl up if they did
Yeah but their brain capacity is too low to think like that
They make chat a screaming match but dropping these effed up updates the only reason yall aren’t upset about is because it doesn’t affect yall it’s ridiculous if yall couldn’t play it’d be a huge deal with y’all’s 5k pcs
Even more meat riders😭💀
My PC is almost 9 years old fam. Nothing about it is 5k 😂
I play cotw I have grinded plenty it’s just the game you get over it or shut up and swap games
If you dont like it dont play, then you wont get scammed
There’s a diff from opinions and just being trash to ppl
Only games I play
Naw, kiddo.
Moreso for words he chose to use against other Community members.
but that's not your issue to deal with 🙂
He's just being honest
Should be happy he wasnt banned 🤣
You can be honest without being crude 🙃
is there a possible time frame for the xbox fix?
The truth hurts 🤷🏻♂️
I haven't heard anything yet - but they are aware and are working on it
Ima assume by tn if possible but they prolly will need a few days
Having the chat be a screaming match from people wanting their specific issue fixed immediately instead of just creating a ticket so the devs can see how many are actually affected is very tiresome for all other users though.
Do WE have an Idea of when Xbox will BE fixed yet
Tried to explain that too - got told Tickets do Nothing
Have not heard anything else other than "They are aware of the problem and working on a fix"
We know nothing else so far
Hey tyk has anyone been banned recently?
How Long you think IT will Take
Can tell you grew up in a generation that didnt teach respect
No :C
I'm slacking in my evil duties
Okay yeah was wondering cuz the ones account joined today
The hilarity of this statement has me in tears
Chill unc
You know what Has me in tears that i cant Play what i want to Play
I think Tickets work. Some of my suggestions have even been added
Bro this is discord we're lucky it's stayed as respectful as it has been
They do! People just get frustrated when its not an immediate fix - but I mean... only so many Support agents and probably a ticket queue
Glad yall ban people from a games disc community
If you break the rules enough, removal can be arranged, surely.
Tbh not the best part of the day - would rather people can figure out convos
Last thing we want is banning people, but sometimes no other course to go
Seems like it’s not far down the list people come in an express their opinions on the game and everyone in here calls them stupid for complaining about bs updates so pretty much if we don’t agree with the mods in disc we get belittled and made fun of for “being broke”
Complaints are valid - the thing is - literally making a thread where folks can condense the thoughts and have the convo and bounce ideas on how to improve etc is WAY more helpful than the emotional peeing contest this chat has been for the last hour
So, this update today made game unplayable, can't even launch game
Same
Thats not the issue, its when you attack the mods or other people
Have you ever seen an update go perfect
It will get fixed
Xbox?
Stuff happens, it will get fixed
apparently theyre in the process of uploading a new build for xbox rn?
Within a week for sure I would guess today
Check for xbox update now
What they said - check for your update
None
hmmm
i see mine
The game isn’t working on PC and xbox people
Like why TF IS IS the Update Like 25 GB on xbox 137mb on Stream and Like 1gb on PS Like IT doesnt make Sense there IS such a big difference
After update, when I press play, it loads for 2 seconds and then goes back to home screen
I got one
IT makes a lot of sence if you look at how the game is packaged etc. ( @tribal shale )
It’s worked since the update until this morning
Ed you must have selective reading I came in a said this is what I get for buying all the dlc content for the game and someone immediately called me broke but that doesn’t get and consequence so we can make fun of people we just can’t disagree with moderators got it thanks for the clear up
@limber cliff the 24 hour mute on @shadow leaf was a bit excessive wasnt it? and my hour one aswell, seems like your abusing your power bc we have an opinion, not a very good mod
Not really
He was kinda annoying
1/ they have to hear about the bug. 2/ they have to research and see what caused it. 3/ they have to figure out a fix and recode and hopfully not mess up something else. Not gonna be done instantly
It's about giving the chat the chance to talk about anything else for a bit 😃
he was having an opinion just like you have one aswell wasn’t he?
people don’t mute you for your opinion
exactly
I would say to throw a ticket at Support via: https://support.thehunter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Watch IT Take Like a month to fix Xbox hopefully it doesnt Take that Long
All he did was yell and call people names. That’s not an opinion
Like, have you guys noticed that there seems to be a LOT of rabbit burrows on salzwiesen ?
You can have an opinion, no one said you can't. Don't be crude to other people and there isn't a problem.
I’m restarting my Xbox first
I saw guides stating 6 burrows but I found 7 active ones so far.
you can’t yell in a discord chat sir
he was typing
I tried restarting 4 times, still ain't working
and the name calling isn’t a 24h mute against him worth right?
Man I want to say some stuff, but respectful so will keep my mouth shut 🤣
give him one more chance and unmute him
And have an open ticket to support with no replies
he will say sorry
Lemme ask around and see what I can hear
I got the update
it could be that it's in a queue of things
What are you on?
Bc pc and xbox isn’t working
He shouldn't
Meth?
Nah Xbox 🤣
My game works on PC though
why shouldn’t he?
Then it aint working
Restarting your Xbox should give you the update
Everything he said was true
Only playstation is working
It breaks the game
It doesn’t let you load it up
@limber cliff Sorry 🤣
Crazily enough,.... Voting wont free him.
When he's unmuted if he can treat others respectfully he can avoid this in the future.
It worked for me
Oh
that’s not very discord mod like don’t people deserve second chances?
Well.. When you apply for Mod and get the position, you can do otherwise.
Also, his second chance will arrive when the mute lifts.
That’s weird I haven’t tryed it yet but for some people it doesn’t work and some it does on Xbox
Na, I literally didn't understand you question about streaming - but if that's laughing I guess
this is why people don’t like you.
HHe will, he was timed out, not banned
I'm on my 11th restart now of Xbox 😂
for speaking the truth
Thats okay. You don't need to like me
11 I’m on 37th restart the closest I got was the menu
Can't understand why people can't respect the decision made fair and square by mods.. I like that you ain't backing down lol
PS5/4 seems to be working fine, wonder what bricked it for pc/xbox?
Where would expansive worlds post updates for the Xbox fix?
y’all was d riding @timber stream but they can’t even fix there game that’s why people have been trying to play for 4
hours like i’m pretty sure the map was perfect before the update but yh there was a couple bugs but they wernt life changing game breakers
Separate servers, PS are sturdier 😂
You can look in the #📢︴game-news channel for stuff like that I think
The update did break it
I dont get anything free, have to buy just like you
As I have said before, please do not ping the Team.
and i get a 1hr ban on the guy but a 24h one is crazy?
Bros gonna tweak when he gets banned XD
Lol Tyk go back to the days I got muted for just saying Hi to certain Mods hahaha
no im just gonna make another acc and do the same thing
Look, at this point it becomes spamming.
which is why I am asking you to not
It's fairly simple
Is this your 38th account then? 🤣
sum like that
Don't you have better things to do tho? Or are you so petty that you'd do that all day?
I can understand not wanting to listen to me, something something rules. Something something evil mod
You're not evil tho
Must be nice not to have a life
Their fault for not following rules
They just made a statement on the news page
got home from work a couple hours ago wanted to play a game and can’t even play it
so like
Thank You
Great news
Don’t complain to much you’ll get banned
Means they're fully working on it, if you think games are free from bugs, time to wake up
As I have said before.. Complaining is fine - do it without being rude.
Rude is the line draw
Okay I’ve only been insulted ten times this morning but that’s fine
deadset
Wish they could apply an IP ban here 🤣
I mod the discord - not the game.
As I have, repeatedly said...
Putting in tickets and posts int he forum is your best way to contact them.
Would be needed
It's, again, not complaints that will get you banned here, it's insults towards both players AND devs; the same rules apply to each: be respectful. I'm hopping in to point this out, because some folks are missing it: There is a BIG difference between, for example, "this sucks" and "you suck". Word your complaints well, or nothing will happen (not just here, but in life in general. The squeeky wheel gets the grease only if you aren't calling the mechanic a moron).
vpns?
dont get why ppl have to be disrespectful to the mods and also ping the team knowing full well its against the rules you know you could check out the #📢︴game-news page it tells you there they are aware and sorting a hot fix asap not hard really is it.
I've seen you give as good as you apparently got.
Listen yall dont like this stuff but except the pheasant tent thing it aint that bad tho
So I mean idk what you want from me, ban everyone?
Pay for VPN to avoid a ban? That's just....
(Also, for real, if you're being insulted by other players, PLEASE submit info to modmail. We DO care about that. Please, help us keep the server a decent place)
nah pay for a vpn to watch netflix tbh but uh yea it helps with other things
Definitely asleep.
Definitely sleep crafting the hotfix
Just be honest is a start if you only ban people for being rude and insulting ban the people that’s rude and insulting not the ones mad they can’t play a game they have payed for ??
also as for ppl saying this is why ppl dont like you... Iv never had an issue with any of the mods especially Tyk shes awesome and actually really funny if you dont act like a tool lol
I get you dont like it, but they can change it with the amount of feedback rn
Wait, who are you waiting for an answer from?
I remember the old days when you didn't need VPN for Netflix 🤣 it's fallen so far now
I timed out people for misbehaving severely, I don't really need to justify it 
why am i lying ?
Just a FYI, they dropped a new hotfix around 700MB on Xbox, and COTW is now loading up :)
As per Rule 7, you don't have to justify it at all. It's nice that you do, though 🙂
you don’t need need one to have netflix but yea to watch shows that’s you can’t get in your country it helps
Clearly
yes she does she just doesnt let ppl get away with being idiots and breaking the rules... isnt this the job of a mod lmao
I know, but Netflix is going downhill fast due to content locking regions
Croc need zones are under water?
like i said before, and was likely ignored. it would be nice to see the pheasents go defensive towards cover, and not fly until flushed by player, dog, or whistle (as the original update intended), rather than fly away intantly when you wake up in a tent 100M away.
therefore i pay for a vpn… see mate it’s all clicking now
Morning @heavy pond
they usually stay underwater so yea ig
Morning!
I just don’t understand how a community of gamers aren’t upset that a game is unplayable atm I means that’s ridiculous on any game wether console or pc dedicated it doesn’t matter if you pay for a game including dlcs or excluding there should never be an update that kills the game
You're not being ignored, chat's just busy as heck
Since today's update you can no longer spawn in the pheasant areas, right? Now they fly away immediately if you do that
well you do know crocs like to be in water lol
Tyk doing a great job
They sleep floating I guess 😂
restart your xbox there’s another update guys
true, maybe try and acknowledge feedback like that rather than the stuff thats easy to disregard.
My dude, I'M upset when things like this happen, for sure. The devs are too, believe it or not (at least, since they're also human beings, I imagine having months of work not go to plan because of unforseen things is really upsetting).
That's fair, I suppose. It's difficult to reply to several hundred people at once, but I'll try to be more attentive 🙂
This ain't new, it's happened in lots of games before, Like CSGO and also WoW and some other well known ones, they're extremely uncommon, but happens from time to time, no one's perfect
games fixed
I'm trying! We aren't all you, Tyk 😛
good job @timber stream
its back now, so it was down for like 6 hours, not a huge deal at all
Not even remotely a huge deal, especially in life in general. If the biggest thing that goes wrong today is CotW was down a few hours, it was a really really good day
Wait they fixed Xbox
Weird, it's like they're working on the game 😆
Wait.. So.. Not sleeping then
yes you can be a bit miffed about the game being down due to a bug in the update but theres no need to go onto a public forum and be agressive and nasty to mods who actually only mod the forum they have nothing to do with working on the game they have about as much say in what happens as we do at the end of the day. (btw not saying this is what you did just something iv used as an example).
it is fixed, its working how EW intended it to work now
I dunno lil buddie
If me being rude is complaining about someone calling me broke for not being able to play a game I bought so be it I guess
@limber cliff Gotta run, hope your day gets better
Are we becoming friends only by way of lil bud and lil girly?
We're best friends now.
there is no need for rudeness no matter the situation. there is always the modmail route to let the team know someone is being rude etc.
Too late, no take backs.
now lets not pretend you guys reply to anything that is actually constructive. its 99% just telling people to calm down, saying things are working, fixes are coming, and that people need to adjust witht the game. its like an answering machine. am i wrong? doesnt seem like anything constructive is done or acknowledged here.
So Xbox IS fixed ?
Too late lil bubbie.
and oh look at that the team have sorted it and let us know in fast timing
No they didn't. This is a mirage. The team is busy pretending to scam
fantastic work devs ty for sorting it out now i can get bk to hunting ma birdies 😄
Last I checked the mods are not the ones who work on the game…and it’s not like the dev team isn’t actively making sure the bugs are sorted out. People act like EW is EA. EW is easily one of the best developers I’ve ever played a game from. They do an amazing job.
pmsl tyk i do love u n ur sarcasam lmao
Tdogg, I've just gotten home from work and must have missed allllll this in my settling in. If you have a gripe about another user here, please do use modmail. We DO listen to that stuff, that's what we're actually here for (not dev stuff, believe it or not 😆 )
how bout my pheasant feedback? seems like it goes by the way side because it catches a specific flaw in your GRIND BREAKING UPDATE2.0
so you need to be the forerunner here
go update and see if they work again
Thanks, lil bro
So I mean, this is the info I am working with
Does the game work for you?
SEE THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT YOU WERE XBOX
well i have an update and im on xbox so try again
FAM THATS A WHOLE NEW STORY
to be honest, the grind on the pheasant works quite well, I moved all my tents to 200 or so meters and it seems very ok... but a little slower
you know there is more than 1 map with pheasants lmao
send ur dog to fetch em lol
Go play with your pet fasan
i love all my doggos 😄
@shadow loom I think you should release another bug fix patch next week or as soon as possible, there are still a lot of bugs in the game to fix.
they know and r working on them lol
Lemme go to school and learn how to code on a proprietary engine, and then also get hired by EW and THEN I will fix your pheasants.
I hope so, there are a lot of bugs people are reporting on cotw-support.
I am sure there will be many patches in the future full of bug fixes. Although I would not expect one before Christmas now.
if you dont grind great ones, and cant respect the percentage of community who does feedback. but out, you are unprofessional and out of line. i bet you dont care because you dont play hard. get over yourself, look at your chats ^ disrespectful, and full of disregard. you STILL havent said anything about my VALID feedback above. i dont type much so its easy to find
You paying for my schooling?
they can only work on so many things at once and it doesnt help ppl making loads of different posts about the same bugs if the bugs were kept to one post for each issue it wouldnt look as if they have millions of bugs lol
I think @timber stream shold look at the % of negative useless comments you reply to compared to constructive conversations.
Anyone know why I have another update for cotw? Almost 1gb on console
So... Looking at your chat history - you seem to be upset with the change to grinding
I'm aware of that, but you start adding up errors without repeating it and there may be between 10 and 20 errors or bugs in the game.
@balmy stratus
it's a bug fix
seems like i struck a nerve.
You didn't - I'm still reading all... 25 of your comments.
the devs do go through the bugg section weekly if not daily so they know whats being reported
thats a first
Okay so...
Re: pheasants - you dislike that they insta book it?
So when people teleport to the need zone via tent - should the birds not do their best to get outta Dodge? Or should they waddle swiftly to some obscure cover?
Because, imo, if I appeared "out of nowhere" in front of a wild bird - it would explode trying to fly away
👍
ty tyk my point exactly when anyone says this lol animals have a flight or fight system built in and 99.99999% of the time they flight not fight so they hear a noise they dont like n off they go like a rocket went up there asses lol
Go shower merry, u and ur opinion stink
They could add that they like go defensive for 3 second and flush
personally i think EW should patch the game so every peasant just freeeze when spooked, and they all should all gather in 5 zones
Showered this morning, boo, but thanks
that would make the grind much easier
there is NO excuse for rudeness at all
I can understand this to a degree - but also like, I've seen people put tents literally a sneezes distance form zones. I don't think the bird AI should factor in "defensive" for something like that.
Yall calm tf down we are talking about pixel birds
agreed
what a thoughtful comment. before i give my opinion, ill state facts. ew knew exactly how the pheasants reacted when fast traveling to them, as they stated their fleeing mechanic prior to the update. therefore they didnt change it to make them run more realistically, they changed it to make it harder to grind due to our success we showed. they knew this change would affect 99% of the grinders, and did it intentionally. if anyone denys this, they are just a grind hater in denial.
I get that yall are frustrated but for me the pheasant grind hasn’t slowed down with this
So it's still working for you?
Yup
I couldn’t care less about some birds flying a bit earlier
not everyones zones are easy to see from 200m or get to without spooking. so no some people are left completely unable to efficiently grind
What do you play on, Happie?
I know right! I usually just lurk and read the chats, but it is like a kindergarten today
Also people want realism, well then remove great ones
we are just gremlins in the corner watching juicy drama
They aint real
So here is some of my take on this, while I don't grind a lot I do agree it can be annoying when you want to min max a grind but this isn't the first time they've done this stuff. The first big annoying change was when they altered the spook radius for as long as they did, which did eventually get reduced back down a bit. I'm more saying this because that change was made as a result of the massive amount of grinding going on and while grinding itself isn't a bad thing in my book it is something that EW to me has consistently tried to alter over the years as it's happened more, but some of the changes they make do get reversed so there is still hope.
Jaxy has a long stream waiting for him today, but he'll probably ignore all the comments about changing pheasants
I mean, like, if Happie's pheasants are still fine and yours are that broken
You may want to record a little of your gameplay and add that to a ticket or something.
Give the Support team a visual on what exactly is wrong with your birds
Any mod take a look at this thread
https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1316023244897259561
Sounds like a map issue then, with zone locations, versus the pheasants being broken then?
Maybe it is just a skill issue
are you implying that peoples zones are all suppose to be the same and easy to see from 200M? no obviously every maps zones are different. and this change doesnt take that in account
its cos all the schools r slowly breaking up for xmas they have let all the delinquents out lol
100%. kid been going on about the same thing all morning
I'm just going to say this once - you are allowed to dislike patches, changes, updates, etc. and voice your opinion in a constructive way on this server but you are not allowed to constantly spam channels with your negative comments that do not bring much into the discussion. Also, you are part of the COTW community. While you dislike something with a burning passion, for others it might be a change they were looking forward to and it takes us time to collect the feedback and then react. Never assume we're going to reverse something overnight just because you hate it.
Why would you put words in my figurative mouth 😂
Of course no ones zones are 1:1 - thats asinine. However, if he is having this serious of an issue with them and other PS players aren't - recording and showing Support can help them see what is wrong and can then determine if its an issue or a zone thing or whatever.
you clearly dont even understand his feedback. his pheasant zones are invisable from any distance you have to put a tent due to the update
same point im making
at last a higher up saying the same as the mods ty so much @shadow loom for standing up for our awesome mod team.
I appreciate them lots
I was under the impression his birds were flying away instantly - not that he couldn't see the zones at all
they are a fantastic team and dont get half the respect they deserve.
Is the issue on PC being resolved
depends what issue you are talking about
he cant see the zones, because "they are in a hole (nole in the ground) and you cant see it from the new tent distance. some people dont have this problem due to their zone placement.
So he needs to move his tent to where he CAN see, right?
Thank you for explaining it more clearly.
thank you for the conscious response.
sure, undo the update, well put them back where we can see them, and shoot them. lol, otherwise you cant see through 360 degrees of dirt.
Submit a video of it and send it to support.
Poor jaxy later
why? the zones are "working as intended", not always in easy places. the problem is they want to make it impossible to efficeintly get over this hurdle via the new update.
This isn't me hating butit feels like the devs rushed this big fix
oooooh is this a case of ban evasion lol
Mods ban him
You said they were underground, not that they couldn't be seen from where you had a tent placed. One is bugged, other is working as intended.

show me where i said they were underground? lol ill wait. i said dirt 360 degrees, meaning in a nole surrounded by dirt mounds you cant see over. go ahead
Mods on fire today perhaps I wont play up like usual hehe.
One time I caught a mod muting another mod on accident
byeeeeee ban evader lol
Heya Vivi you lurking with any news for us?
Not here obv
So your complaint is simply there's one zone where you have to sneak in??
the chaos of a fast moving chat
It wasn't even that
If it was King he prob deserved it
The dude didn't think it would work
The news is... hotfix is out! 
This do be news
I really think you fully understood my feedback. and with some luck, hopefully it gets somwhere and sinserely understood. for the record, this isnt about me, its about the unfairness the tent spooking update has created for people with easy zones, vs hard ones.
and the hot fix to fix the hot fix is also out hehehehe
So are the children 
See
Idk why they let us kill animals in game lil bb bro
Tyk didn't make the game, bother us instead 😆
Bad news is thare could be other broken stuff
little bubbie broham
Dangerous word Vivi your inbox be flooded lol
damn just got to 5.76yds and thats when my male pheasant decided oh dear theres a person i might try n fly off lol
No I thought you meant I had a god complex.
It was funnier that way
I took that as an honestly intended wording
You really gotta stop assuming I'm laughing at you.
That guy really did a number on you to think that.
Thats some good sneaking fr
Might pop back in for a stroll around Salz before the stream starts. I will leave you in Peace Tyk and Vivi hehe.
yeah i was crouched n walking with my retriever n i litrally shot that bird up the nostrill as it flew away lol safe to say retriever didnt need to retrieve lol
When I said earlier for folks to use the @honest isle - this is how you can reach out to Staff.
You DM the bot, click the link to confirm it can act as your proxy, and then choose the server to send to and then send the message in the DM
It will make a ticket and you can converse with staff in a 1:1 form
We're gonna announce in a minute, but we actually won't be having a stream today! People are starting to disperse for winter holidays ^^
nooooooo we need a stream 😦
Awwww its 30C here no Winter lol. guess will find a movie too
"summer" holiday ?
i need ma weekly jaxy fix 😦
Idk. I don't think EW is saying never grind. I think they wish to make it a litte more difficult than shooting Fish in a Barrel - but until we hear from them directly, I guess we dont know
Please stop talking to our mods like this.
Excuse me lil bro?
Ima go play the angler while this fixes
You need to calm down lil bro
My game is still broken
@balmy stratus lil bro go to bed
I had to reinstall it
HE ? Tyk is a wonderful woman tyvm
I think ur bedtime is passed lil bro
Go to bed before ur parents catch u staying up to late
What's the newest version of the game
Woah
No, in this you are wrong. I am in fact crafted with XX Chromosomes.
i think ur just making things up to complain about my friend. 22 works fine just been using it EW do nopt scam anyone you brought the map of your own free will and we know pheasants wasnt going to be an easy grind no animal is anymore due to grind changes which i find more interesting btw,
Thats not nice ☹️
well im having 0 issues with my 22
Can someone help me with what's going on
its just a little troll out of school early trying to cause issues
Pheasants fly away when you fast travel on top of them.
have u updated ?
we have had 2 updates this morning 🙂
What were they for, do you have an idea? I had to update earlier
Lol okay
yup yup pretty much that lol
Must’ve Had his mom call him out of school

nooooooo thats not allowed no jaxy fix till 2025 😮
i cant go that long without my bearded hunter 😮
must of finished the update lol
unless it was an in game update
not the case
i have a feeling thare were some files that were confuseing it but idk bc i deleted them when it was lawnching
ok here goes
Nope
omg stop with the scamming rubbish no one has scammed u no go get back in ur pram with ur dummy
if you have played a certain amount of time you will no get a refund from anywhere lol
Is it fixed as all my friends are able to join and I don’t want to waste time trying to join
You can still get the GO. You're acting like they took them out.
Or shoot them as the game intended and not by using a bug.
nothing is weired just because u cant go out and shoot a go pheasant within 4 birds you think u have been scammed becuase u cant teleport to a tent right on zones without scaring the birds you say ur scammed try playing the game correctly then it will work for you.
exactly this
I have a great one, but thanks for your copium.
iv only had 1 go and that was a fallow dear you dont hear me crying iv been scammed no cos im happy to wait for one to just show up somewhere
Is it fixed yet as all my friends are playing rn
You mean : gasp : you have to adjust your grind and not rely on a bug.
Found the problem but at a cost
They are not hard at all
Understand that you are crying over a bug being fixed? Yeah, we understand. haha
But it's not like I had to restart anyway
yes 1 G1 and am i running around screaming iv been scammed no im not lol
yeah he wants to be able to drop in a tent right on his phesant zones n expects then not to fly away big shocker they fly away on him lol
PLEASE stop making your opinions of the changes to a video game a personal attack on each other. Sheesh.
Some how something in my files got messed up
First, I am a female. Second, I play HOURS a day. Third, I'm also half blind and still able to shoot a pheasant.
it happens sometime did a full reinstall work ?
No
You try on a pc with blurry vision.
That doesn't change the fact that they weren't meant to be shot down just fast traveling mindlessly shooting them on the ground.
im on xbox same play style as ps i can shoot flying pheasants with 22 and shotty lol
I kill them just fine on xbox, pheasants are still easy grind
Can someone help me by putting tents near outpost on Yukon
why do you need to kill fast ? there is no fun in that
I don't care about any other maps I just want to get back to my foxes 😭
bye then dont let the door hit u on the way out 😄
You won't quit playing....you'll adjust and keep on hunting. 😉
exactly this lol
silly little boys n there temper tantrums lol
this is the first time iv used a shotty properly and im actually really enjoying it
actually u seem to have issues with a lot of ppl here and from what im seeing is its all females lol
How easy would grinds be if I could set my tents up on my bear drink zones and have them all just stand there. : dreams :
Bwahahaha pow pow fast travel pow pow
omg how amazing would that be lol
sorry yogi bear u dont know im here bang bang hope u enjoyed ur picnic lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And now has to be done just like everything else in the game.
Imagine if all g1 species just froze in place when you start the game up😳
Reading your crying posts, I don't believe that. lol
obviously not reading ur messages lol
Wow someone is quite s*xist
oh yes he calls Tyk lil girly
For real?
Get out of here with that
Oh one of those type…gotcha
yup been doing it most the day
Middle schooler
Hasn’t experienced real life yet lol
omg a clap of thunder on my game just made me jump out my skin lol
I have PTSD because of this game 😭
feel for him really he gonna have one damn rude awakening when he goes out into the real world from being in mommys basement lol
The growls on te😭
Not that
what growls on Te ?
I can't load into the game without my anxiety taking off
It's gotten to the point where I shake
At night time stuff growls at you even though there’s no predators on there
Justice for the pheasant grind
omg iv been on that map so many times spent so many hrs irl on there n never heard that
Make cotw great again 👍
its never stopped being great lol
Yes mam it did with that tiger update while back
It’s better than it was pre hotfix
It's grown to be my favorite game
i loved the tigers
I did to when I could grind the tree lakes a tiger a time
Felt
Probably still could shoot the tiger then run up north shoot tahr for 20 minutes and then reset but it’d be annoying as hell because the tahr kinda suck
I'm trying to pheasant grind and they made it 10x harder now
My thing is if you do a full tiger run it still takes longer than 15 minutes irl so by the time your last tiger is harvested it should be more than enough time for the others to start respawning the next round assuming you are actually going through all the zones and maximizing the total number of potential respawns (yes this only applies to tiger and not pheasants but it's still relevant because they are still very easy to grind)
Tigers are a pain in the ass to hunt but once you get the hang of it and hopefully don’t spook any off it’s not terrible
LadyLegendXO has the best setup and tutorial for it
Happened to me too..
True especially since every time you kill one they can change their zones but that's what makes it enjoyable you get to actually explore the map a bit when grinding them how I do it at least
Mhm
I think what helped my grind was riding along the one side of the river at the end
Sorta forces some tigers off the river and onto the lakes I have rented
What’s the 1.90 update?
DONT LET IT INSTALL!!!!
Damn gg it auto install over night
What happened with the 1.90 update
What’s the matter with it @stray basalt
It messed up a lot of things
Like what
It fixed the bugs with the pheasants and people are acting like the world is ending. lol
Oh well
I don’t hunt pheasants at the moment just dealing with angry tigers so
What was the bug with pheasants
They weren't spooking. You could fast travel on top of their zone and shoot all the lower level males to spawn the GO. Now they fly away if you do that.
Well should’ve taken as advangatge of the bug whilst it lasted
Same thing that went for the 3 lakes for tigers
Did they remove the Odin? It’s nowhere to be found for me
Did you accidentally uninstall the scope pack?
The scope pack isn’t even appearing. Both on my console and my two brothers.
iv got it installed n im on xbox using it right now
I’ve never had loud thunder ingame or infact I don’t think I’ve encountered it
???
Is it at specific areas or can it be heard anywhere on the
I honestly don’t remember it’s been months since I’ve hunted te at night
It could really benefit from a backfilling
I’ve lost all my zones on salzwiesen and my hunting pressure is gone as well. I also can’t find any animals anywhere. What’s going on
Tbf is did release in a kinda weird period of the game
I don't see why theirs an issue with the patch if pheasants finally spook it's a good thing. I hated literally kicking them n never fly.
the main problem is it's way too far the other direction
the tent thing shouldve been fixed
but now they spook and flush from the player or dog approaching at 180-200 meters
which is about twice as far away as any pheasant i've ever seen go alert and try to fly or hide IRL
hell half the time when they hunker down IRL you step on the things before they kick up
thats mostly in thick reeds or unharvested grain but point withstanding
Oh so they made them act more like the quail now. I'll have to hop on & see what happens as well.
seems to have also been done to black grouse and the other upland birds like ptarmigan
anything else aside from the FE 300 with the Odin? I assume its still 3-6 instead of 2-6?!
people hunting on Rev are saying they're spooking like they did pre-update but worse, which is to say going defensive and flying off about 150-200 meters out
still 3-6 to my knowledge
they didnt fix that but they seem to have undone all the good tuning on upland bird behavior
so now they're more skittish then a heroin addicted hamster
sad day 😞 yea the black grouse were too easy as they were ptarmigan on the other hand were always a pain.
yeah the black grouse were never really an issue, birds hunkering down in brush then flushing when you get up on them is fine, but it seems we've time travelled back to Rancho now and all the upland birds run away at 200 meters and you never see them
Well they'll likely go back n do another hotfix at somepoint. This always happens when a new patch gets dropped it affects the coding n they have to go bk to the lab n redue the formula as it were. Hopefully the FE 300 will get reclassed where it should be in the near future like the Gandhare was in the process.
Was there anything good in the update or should I just avoid it if I can?
but yea I'll mess with the birds myself n see if I can find a way to get them bc I got to the point to grounding them bc the would never fly and quail were actually working with the pointer. So I'll look into that as well.
yeah, the main problem though is this is the last pre-holiday patch
Nope!
Not at all
so the earliest the birds will stop flying off at like 200 meters is mid January
We should have seen this coming tbh anytime there is a update that gets praise and gets people interested in hunting for a great one and giving grinding a try they do some update to reverse it and make it as annoying as possible to do
it royally screwed up upland bird behavior, especially pheasants
they spook from you or your dog out to like 200 meters
and are much less inclined to hunker and wait when spooking
now they spring and flush from really far like they did when Rancho dropped
like pheasants will run and flush in certain circumstances IRL
Actually
The “Flush” command should now always display on the dog wheel when it is available for use
really short-cut grass fields for instance
Doesn’t sound to bad
if they see you they'll kick up out in the open at like 75
I’d have to see though
and fly off to a brush stand
but they're doing this in forest margins and brush in-game
where they would imnmediately hunker down IRL
Tbh I don't care at all about upland birds in this game. I usually ignore them like I do rabbits
yeah that's a good change, and another good one is ducks no longer get all flighty about the dog
eitherway I'll make the best of it. But I will admit when they were dumb shooting them with a bow was so satisfying after getting annoyed, they never flew.
they also calm down more
ah then if you're not an upland game hunter this patch doesnt affect you like, at all
pointer should still work great for large game
I don't even have the first dog let alone the other two
oh yeah then this really doesnt affect you at all lol
what about ducks and geese?
also apparently it screwed up both xboxes
The problem with that is that a lot of people have started hunting pheasants for the g1 so it is going to effect a lot more people. It basically kills half the new map other then racoons and fox
it was supposed to fix system errors, and seems to have done that
but download speeds are low as hell
where most people were gettin 20 or more mb/s download now this patch is like 2.5 to 5 mb/s at most
I set up a goose spot when I need to grind money but have other things to do. Pop down the dekes blind and ecaller and afk until the birds land
yeah it has also seriously screwed hunting them for a G1
the tent changes aside, that was its own thing making them legit spook from fast travelling
but now that they spook like they did in rancho all the forest and woodland or marsh zones are hard as hell to hunt from what I gather
no sight lines and no angle to get a shot before they flush at like 180 or 200
honestly that'll prob be even more lucrative for you now
they come back faster and are less aware of both the player and the dog
when in a blind mainly iirc
That is legitimately all the bird hunting I do, I'm sorry it's bad for all you guys tho
yeah it sucks something fierce
I just really hate that as soon as I feel like I can get a great one through grinding the second I get my setup finished and start hunting the next day there is a update that ruins the setup I've been a day one player and the only cool trophy's I am interested in at this point is a great one. But they seem to gatekeep them from anyone who has a job and life outside of the game
given that you mainly hunt large game like deer in this game I would say the equivalent would be imagine if all deer, elk, and moose spook from you walking at like 300 meters and spook from gunshots out to like 380 so you can barely see most of them
basically guts the ability to properly hunt them
Also, why does EW do surprise patches like this but not to fix problems or accurately change what needs changing
I have no idea
also this is the last patch of the year afaik
so pheasants are screwed like this until mid january
cause they get like a 35 or 40 day holiday break or something I think
I’m scared what they might’ve done to bobwhites…
inb4 they spook at render
I mean they'd already fly off at 200+
might be 300+ now given how other uplands had their spook range increased by 50% or more
basically quadrupled for pheasant
Mississippi bobwhite hunting was super fun last I played, especially with the pointer…. Big yikes
needs testing to be sure but im gonna take the pessimist's route given how badly all the others got screwed
Can I say that I legitimately hate these birds? Like, I grew up in TN with fields of these little monsters everywhere. If you were out for a walk, trying to fish, hike, stalking an animal didn't matter. They hold totally still until you were like 3 feet away and then blow up with with like 10 to 12 birds going everywhere it would spook every deer or turkey within 200 yards. Ruffed grouse were the same but they stayed in the woods where you lose sight of the deer in an instant
fully valid to hate them but their IRL behavior again points to why people who fowl hunt hate this patch so much and hated pre-Salz bird behavior
