[stray basalt]

It’s been beat a few times now iirc

[shadow prism]

I thought so

[stray basalt]

Still a massively impressive feat though

[shadow prism]

Fr

[stray basalt]

So EW, when are you going to make the .22LR 1-9.

We’re waiting.

[languid wedge]

please

[shadow prism]

I hope they eventually make predators look diff as dimes and golds etc

Like a size diff at least

[stray basalt]

I need tru size

[fading matrix]

I want this

[shadow prism]

The bigger the animals the grayer the face and whatnot

[lone forge]

Was about to say that the beavers look cartoonist and then I saw this

[shadow prism]

That’s who ate my dang tent

[stray basalt]

I should be able to put a banteng down with a .22

[fading matrix]

Yeah ofc

[shadow prism]

I mean you can

[rough tree]

unserious creature tbh

[stray basalt]

I’ve tried. It doesn’t pierce

Not the skull that is

[shadow prism]

After enough it dies

Around 40

[fading matrix]

Shoot it enough

[stray basalt]

It should really only take one

From really close

[fading matrix]

It will drop eventually

[south urchin]

.22 hornet

[shadow prism]

Lr

[plain star]

22 lr > 470 NE

[stray basalt]

Great minds think alike

[shadow prism]

I’ve killed more buffalo and bison with the 22 then the 470

I hope wood bison are huge

Like 1400kg +

[stray basalt]

We’re waiting, Expansive Worlds

[south urchin]

Biggest NA animal

[shadow prism]

Is it bigger then water buff

[digital quartz]

Yes

[stray basalt]

I want them to actually give me a reason to bring a class 9 gun on the reserve

[pine lily]

what in the sweet rhyme of the ancient crispy kentucky fried sam mother f$%k is that

[south urchin]

Idk maybe

[shadow prism]

I think it is idk tho

[stray basalt]

Well I tried to find the 40mm buckshot Huxley was talking about earlier and stumbled upon that genius piece of combat engineering.

[pine lily]

the american 180

[coarse lintel]

Kentucky ballistics called, he wants to know where to find one xD

[south urchin]

Google says it really really close but WB are heavier

[plain star]

“A swarm of angry bees”

[shadow prism]

Huh maybe mine showed average water buff but wood bison are 2400 and water are 2200

Unless it showed biggest to average

[dense thistle]

How many animals in Alberta are repeats?

[shadow prism]

Now I got water are up to 2600

[stray basalt]

A lot

But they look brand new

[shadow prism]

Ima guess around half

[last schooner]

we don't have a list of every animal in alberta yet

[dense thistle]

Not sold tbh

[south urchin]

Water 2650 wood 2600

[stray basalt]

So they might as well be new species

[pine lily]

current idea is 10 repeats 9 new

[shadow prism]

Yeah they might be around the same

[shadow prism]

Nice not too bad

[stray basalt]

That’s what I said three days ago

And here we are

[south urchin]

Could have been better ^

[dense thistle]

A sled would actually be kinda sick

[stray basalt]

Should’ve been 45-70 but I’ll gladly take it

[shadow prism]

I’m loving the new lever action live

Love

The 44 and new 30-30 look great

[south urchin]

Model is great, the caliber is not

[languid wedge]

[pine lily]

the fact its basically a 1:1 new series Marlin 336 is rad as hell

[shadow prism]

If it’s buffed it’ll be even better

[stray basalt]

When will it be 45-70’s turn😔

[vivid cosmos]

Sled is often used to carry a carcass so it's not likely we'll get a usable one, we could get outpost decorations tho

[shadow prism]

Didn’t even realize that’s sick

[shadow prism]

Eventually

[dense thistle]

Lame

[delicate peak]

You driven me with your screenshots to make an entire lodge of birds, every diamond, every rare

[pine lily]

looks like it could come with new ammo too

[stray basalt]

Maybe they’ll give us skies and we can fly around like Sir Aimo Koivunen.

[pine lily]

bottom right of the render has what looks like nickel plated case ammo with black bullets

maybe based off Remington ammo from what Huxley and Spooqi said

[south urchin]

That’s called a shadow

[dense thistle]

What’s y’all’s dream reserve?

[languid wedge]

I has 3

[south urchin]

Kodiak island or South Africa

[shadow prism]

Prolly a better “actual” Alaska

[languid wedge]

#1070045518002147458

[pine lily]

theyre in the sun 💀

[south urchin]

From the green box

[dense thistle]

Musk oxen

[stray basalt]

Marlin 1895 Guide gun, Brown Laminate is my dream reserve

[pine lily]

one of ems out right in the sun

[stray basalt]

And it should be yours too

[plain star]

Canadian Arctic or a reserve like Mongolia

[south urchin]

That’s the way light is reflecting off, it’s copper not black

[stray basalt]

I hope if we get Mongolia they increase call distance

[plain star]

I think Arctic Cordillera would be a cool setting for an Arctic map

[stray basalt]

Particular for elk

[vivid cosmos]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1319172980982415360

[dense thistle]

Dude yes Mongolia is my #1, I threw the idea on the subreddit and no one agreed. Would be a great way to introduce horses as a mode of transportation

[nocturne flare]

Dream reserve is def Arctic Alaska

[vivid cosmos]

They should just add those regardless

[pine lily]

fairly sure those are nickel plated cases with blackened bullets

especially since the ones in the shadow would be copper colored if they were copper, instead the bullets are dark grey

[vivid cosmos]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1319526077319872572

I mean facts

[stray basalt]

Reddit people ask how their wife’s boyfriend is feeling after work, who cares

[south urchin]

I’m telling you bro it’s light reflecting off copper

[pine lily]

i dont think it is

[stray basalt]

But seriously though, either Mongolia or Africa 2.0

[pine lily]

argali 🗿

[dense thistle]

Altai wapiti, wolves, sika (?) antelope, moose, argali, ibex

[south urchin]

Look at the other copper bullets

[stray basalt]

I told you to stop buying copper from Ea-nāṣir!

[stray basalt]

No sika

[dense thistle]

Insane reference

[stray basalt]

They don’t live in Mongolia

[lone forge]

Reddit people ask if there the whole for committing triple murder on kids

[vivid cosmos]

A map for each subspecies of argali just like we have for elk

[dense thistle]

Saiga***

[stray basalt]

Ohhhhhh

[plain star]

Black-tailed gazelle

[stray basalt]

Siberian Roe Deer

[pine lily]

uh, they all look the same to me dawg

[stray basalt]

Like four different species of ibex

[shadow prism]

I want another arctic map that’s partially ice flats, mountains, and forest with dall sheep musk ox polar bears seals arctic fox and wolves with a spruce grouse and whatever repeats fit

[pine lily]

green tips now that I look at it

[south urchin]

Exactly the others are copper meaning they’re all copper

[plain star]

Bactrian Camel

Lots of birds

[dense thistle]

Muskoxen, walrus, stone sheep, dall sheep

[dense thistle]

I mean there’s kangaroos so why not

[rough tree]

Huxley and I thought there were two different types, but it's more clear in that picture that they're all the same (black/grey with a green tip) which is interesting

[pine lily]

no they're grey my guy are your eyes okay 💀

copper would glint and glow

these are like matte

[south urchin]

Brother the light is reflecting off it, they are copper

[rough tree]

copper would look like these

[shadow prism]

Green tips are for better pene so if we get some that’ll be 👌

[vivid cosmos]

Why are you guys discussing the bullets?

[stray basalt]

30-30

[dense thistle]

Black tip M80 7.62 are AP

[inland kite]

At this point both of y'all should just settle on galvanized square steel

[south urchin]

Diamond tipped

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah but what are we learning?

[stray basalt]

We’re learning 30-30

[plain star]

You can also do snow leopards as well

[pine lily]

things other than copper reflect light 💀

[vivid cosmos]

Got it :v

[shadow prism]

Good

[south urchin]

I legit can’t argue with you anymore

[vivid cosmos]

That's a pener

[plain star]

Tf we arguing about copper

[stray basalt]

Goddamnit

[dense thistle]

What about a Nevada reserve? Elk, moose, mulies, 3 subspecies of bighorn, coyotes, pronghorn, mountain lions, bobcats

[south urchin]

Pause

[inland kite]

nonsense atp

[stray basalt]

Himalayan Snowcock

I’m not too sure about moose

[shadow prism]

Very basic and we have a ton of NA maps already

[plain star]

Specifically US maps

[cunning cosmos]

I’ve called for help twice, not a frack you, what do you need or nothing

[dense thistle]

Nevada had their first moose draw last year or two years ago

[shadow prism]

Yup

[dense thistle]

1 tag for the entire state

[stray basalt]

Oh sweet

[south urchin]

We have like 8 maps with moose

[vivid cosmos]

Cotw doesn't do subspecies unless it's elk

[stray basalt]

And mtn lion it seems

And bears

[shadow prism]

And deer

[lone forge]

If they have to do north America (above the Mexican jungle line) I'd want to see the Arctic mostly but I would be fine with, California, new Mexico, BC and various Alaska forms

[shadow prism]

Which is very good

[dense thistle]

Well either way it’s the high desert setting that I would like

[plain star]

But not whitetail, which is not good

[shadow prism]

Yeah mule deer on top

[plain star]

Won’t go into that tangent again though

[vivid cosmos]

They just changed the name

[south urchin]

It’s dependent on the region^

[red stream]

Is it on Epic Games yet?

[vivid cosmos]

Oh well it's more than what they did for bighorn true

[plain star]

What what were you responding to lol

[shadow prism]

Nothing stating a fact

[stray basalt]

I’d love a Gila National Forest map for that exact reason

[south urchin]

Not out at all

[red stream]

I mean like wishlistable

[rough tree]

bison (plains and wood)
mule deer (blacktail (presumably Columbian Blacktail) and "mule deer" (rocky mountain or desert depending on what reserve)
mexican bobcat and "bobcat"
Wild Turkey (Merriam's, Rio Grande, Eastern)

[shadow prism]

moose?

They have many diff moose why don’t they do it to them

[plain star]

I’m confusing myself rn

[inland kite]

Wish they would tbh

[shadow prism]

Prolly

[stray basalt]

EW forgor

[lone forge]

Yeah an Arizona map with different quails, couse deer, desert mulee and bighorn, elk and a bit more would be fine

[south urchin]

We only need 1 more Na map

Northwest Territories

[shadow prism]

Ik it’s a little early to think about but what do we think the mini maps gonna be

[mystic sorrel]

Little bummed with the new map was hoping for musk ox, some new sheep, and polar bear man.

[shadow prism]

Is it gonna be small game again or any other guesses?

[lone forge]

#1375853270890840245

[vivid cosmos]

Turkey I forgot turkey we do have a lot of different subspecies of turkey which is funny

[pine lily]

fun fact, mule deer and blacktail it turns out are actually separate species and genomic research has found that mule deer are technically a form of blacktail instead of the other way around

[lone forge]

There won't be one this year

[shadow prism]

Many species haven’t been identified

[stray basalt]

I hopes it’s a mini map but instead of being mini it’s actually normal sized

[pine lily]

evidently around 11000 years ago the retreat of glaciers in the rockies brought whitetail and blacktail in close contact

[shadow prism]

I thought there would be one

[lone forge]

Gould's would be epic

[pine lily]

wt does and bt bucks hybridized

[lone forge]

Nope, two big maps like this

[pine lily]

creating a larger subspecies that now lives in the region between the two species ranges

[rough tree]

huh, interesting. do you have a source on that? (not challenging your statement, I just wanna read about it)

[shadow prism]

Oh nice

[plain star]

I’d honestly rather have Nunavut

[vivid cosmos]

I was going to say they are a bit further removed, but I didn't because I didn't really knew

[pine lily]

its a neat journal article ill have to refind, might be able to grab it in a few minutes, i shall go searching

[lone forge]

#1375853270890840245

[stray basalt]

I like a nice mix of NWT and Nunavut

More potential species

[mystic sorrel]

In that area there are none of those species I think

[plain star]

Baffin Island would be amazing

[mystic sorrel]

I looked it up

[shadow prism]

True

[lone forge]

It is based of the whole Canadian archipelago including Baffin, banks, Victoria and elsemere islands as there main inspiration

[mystic sorrel]

Well either way I am looking forward to some new hunting areas

[south urchin]

Legit any northen Canada/ Alaska map with polar bears, muskox

[shadow prism]

I hope this map is better then sundar it was a letdown for a lot of people

[mystic sorrel]

Bison would be cool to have as a great one. Want a class 9 great one super bad

[south urchin]

Wym

[plain star]

Yeah, anywhere along the cordillera would be sweet

[south urchin]

Sundar was one of the best launches of all time

[shadow prism]

The launch was but lots of people have hated it

[mystic sorrel]

That was so fun hunting that map

[south urchin]

Give me names

[shadow prism]

Not all but a ton who I’ve talked to hated it

[south urchin]

I will hunt these people down

[mystic sorrel]

Idk what there was to hate really

[shadow prism]

Lmao

[mystic sorrel]

Guess the tahr are a pain in the ass

[lone forge]

If it had a little bit more open areas for tahr and a new bird or two especially upland it would be literally perfect

[rough tree]

Last time I checked Sundarpatan was an absolute success, aside from the people who didn't like grinding for a GO tahr bc they don't have drink zones

[shadow prism]

It’s an acquired taste imo very strange to hunt

[stray basalt]

Not enough mountains

[lone forge]

But it's definitely top 3 rn

[stray basalt]

And too much brush in the mountains

[shadow prism]

Yeah

[stray basalt]

Fantastic bow hunting map

[shadow prism]

It’s a very visually appealing map

[plain star]

That’s not a reason to absolutely despise the map though I feel like

[stray basalt]

Took the crossbow out a few hours ago, phenomenal

[lone forge]

Yeah

[shadow prism]

Just dry in some areas

[rough tree]

i've definitely struggled with this lol, it felt like I was in a cartoon chase scene with a blue sheep once

[south urchin]

I hate bow hunting

[stray basalt]

In most of the park tbh

[shadow prism]

That’s how I felt too

[mystic sorrel]

I was lucky I got a initial spawn blue so not too much grinding there

[stray basalt]

It needs axis deer

[lone forge]

And the tigers and snow leopards, you barely ever see them, especially outside drink time and that makes them so much better

[mystic sorrel]

It is nice that big horn sheep are getting a re do though

[shadow prism]

Idk playing on other maps then back to sundar it’s good but very different

[stray basalt]

Feels like they put too much emphasis on the big cats and not on their prey

[shadow prism]

And allegedly mule deer

[mystic sorrel]

They did win the antler poll I think

[shadow prism]

I hope they get a whole rework I mean

[mystic sorrel]

Should probably go get a diamond one before the new map comes out so I have the old rack

[shadow prism]

There’s 3 or 4 racks now I think

So Goodluck with all of that’s your goal

[stray basalt]

The current diamond racks are garbage

[mystic sorrel]

Eh I only need one I suppose

[shadow prism]

The small rack is prolly the best and it’s not the best

Very meh

[stray basalt]

Yeah

[mystic sorrel]

Hoping they’ll be easier to hunt on this map more condensed then what they are on the other ones

[shadow prism]

This one’s cool but looks bad

Very unrealistic and just random

[plain star]

That rack also can have the brow tines clipping inside each other

[shadow prism]

Yeah

[stray basalt]

It just needs to be tilted a little more

[mystic sorrel]

Wonder what the new great one will be

[stray basalt]

Snow geese🙏

[mystic sorrel]

I am praying it’s the Bison.

[plain star]

No

[pine lily]

@rough tree

I found these:

A web article based off existing research https://enviroliteracy.org/what-do-mule-deer-come-from/

and this journal article on mitochondrial studies https://academic.oup.com/jmammal/article/103/3/723/6500288?login=false

I cant find the exact article and the ones that the web article appear to be based on are either paywalled or have broken links

[mystic sorrel]

I want a big class 9 great one

[shadow prism]

I’m honestly gonna say mule deer as a GO very wanted

Or an elk species

[mystic sorrel]

Bovines don’t get enough love

[plain star]

I want antlers

[rough tree]

sweet, I'll give those a read when I have a moment ^-^

[shadow prism]

Same

[mystic sorrel]

Horns

[plain star]

So either elk or mule deer

[stray basalt]

They should make a mission where you are forced to eat Gefilte, by far the hardest mission ingame.

[shadow prism]

I’d even take a bighorn could be good

[mystic sorrel]

Nah by big horns I meant like a bison with big horns

[shadow prism]

I think bison would be boring

[pine lily]

like that sh!t th steppe bison had where its a 8 to 10 foot internal spread

[shadow prism]

Very bad grind

[stray basalt]

I could grind them with a crossbow lmao

[shadow prism]

Think of a moose grind but harder

[stray basalt]

Running around like a coked out Minecraft baby zombie slinging bolts

[mystic sorrel]

Like come on that would be great

Have some unique skins too. Just a big ole bison

[plain star]

I really find that only antlered species interest me enough to grind for them

[pine lily]

itd def be neat but this is also cool

muleys got them points going on

[stray basalt]

Reminds me of that one Ace Ventura scene

[static tree]

rah

[pine lily]

ill honestly take either

[mystic sorrel]

Ik but like we already have deer though

[shadow prism]

Or caribou

[mystic sorrel]

We don’t have a great one Bovine yet

[wintry laurel]

i hope there will be bison in this new map

[shadow prism]

They are confirmed

[mystic sorrel]

Imagine if they make the beaver the new Great one hahaha

[rough tree]

there will! it's confirmed that we're getting wood bison

[stray basalt]

Tahr are bovines

[wintry laurel]

rlly plains bison or some new one?

[mystic sorrel]

Nah man that’s a goat

[shadow prism]

Weird

[shadow prism]

Wood

[wintry laurel]

Wood bison?! thats sick

[stray basalt]

Goats are bovines

[wintry laurel]

im so excited

[mystic sorrel]

Damn

[rough tree]

we've only seen this so far but I'm sure we'll get a clearer view soon

[wintry laurel]

nice

[lone forge]

Tahr are both bovines and goats (ish)

[pine lily]

i love how well theyre modeled

[shadow prism]

I love there beards lol great detail

[mystic sorrel]

I just want a big class 9 animal as a great one, water buffalo, Cape buffalo, bison idc just want one

[wintry laurel]

what other species will be on this map?

[pine lily]

they got the emo hair and the shoulder hump right

[wintry laurel]

Sameeee!

[stray basalt]

Check pins

[pine lily]

i gotchu homie on second

[inland kite]

Wish there was more of an emphasis on danger, as you're tangling with north Americas largest land mammal

[plain star]

I’d rather have water buffalo than bison

[pine lily]

this

[rough tree]

yeah lol they genuinely nailed it

[wintry laurel]

thanks!

[mystic sorrel]

No Musk Ox though or polar bears 😭

[wintry laurel]

woah new goose and ducks and an BEAVER?!

[stray basalt]

They could use a bit more mass though

Maybe it’s just their distance from the camera

[pine lily]

same goes for the elk model imo; neck posture issues withstanding but all deer in this game suffer from that except moose and caribou/reindeer

[pine lily]

and the light

its in fog at like dawn

[shadow prism]

The head looks too high imo

[inland kite]

Yeah, I think they did a decent job with the wood bison modeling to make it stand out with its plain counterpart

[shadow prism]

Humps not tall enough

[pine lily]

yup!

also dusky grouse

[mystic sorrel]

Beaver great one.

[stray basalt]

Dusky grouse great one🙏

[shadow prism]

Bighorn great one

[plain star]

Tree great one

[rough tree]

that's why I'm hoping we get a clearer view at some point, that way we can judge it better

[shadow prism]

I’m assuming front 2 are females backs male

[mystic sorrel]

How long after sund was announced did it take for us to get a close look at all the animals and such

[shadow prism]

A week we get full list I don’t think we’ll get a deep look cuz no stream

[mystic sorrel]

Dang

[wintry laurel]

what other species you guys think will be in the new map

[stray basalt]

It depends

[glacial summit]

deer

[wintry laurel]

i hope the GO will be a beaver or some class 9 animal

[stray basalt]

I could have the current species list rn and be happy

But I’d take grizzlies and wolverines

[pine lily]

oh also if you havent seen the wolves got remodeled

[wintry laurel]

wait im not that good in english what are wolverines?

[stray basalt]

.22 class 1-9 when?

[wintry laurel]

nice looking

[stray basalt]

Evil badger things

[wintry laurel]

ooh thats actually ppretty cool to have on the map

imagine if they could climp trees n stuff

[stray basalt]

That’s the dream

Unlikely though

[wintry laurel]

yea

[stray basalt]

They were just testing the waters with beavers

[glacial summit]

these would be so peak

[wintry laurel]

i literally just took a look at hunter for first time in 1 month and they making a new map

im coming back to hunter btw

[wintry laurel]

he looks so funny

[stray basalt]

Reminds me of Jurassic Park 2

[wintry laurel]

[lone forge]

Stone sheep go very close to the Alberta border so I wouldn't mind them on here

[inland kite]

[wintry laurel]

i wanted to do the laughing emoji

[thick owl]

Grizzly’s need a remodel bad

[glacial summit]

this guy was hauling ass up on the alcan, didnt want to clear the road

[wintry laurel]

you guys think moose or whitetail grind will be fun on this map?

[lone forge]

Pronghorn, mountain goat, grizzly bear and caribou are my prime guesses

[glacial summit]

real!!!!

[wintry laurel]

also hope next is amazon or africa 2.0

[stray basalt]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1120101900096909383

[lone forge]

I don't see it likely I'm just saying it could work

[glacial summit]

speaking of which

bad photo but stone sheep from the same trip

[lone forge]

😍

It's amazing to me that people live in places with such amazing animals

[glacial summit]

just a yearling, but first one I ever seen. Super cool

[lone forge]

[wintry laurel]

what country?

[lone forge]

Wild sheep and cool are os cool

Sweden

[wintry laurel]

haha im in finland

literally next to u

[lone forge]

Where in Finland?

I love Åland

[stray basalt]

I’ve got whitetail, more whitetail, and some whitetail

[pine lily]

hes so fluffy lmao

would love to spend more fr, this map should be similar though 🙏

[pine lily]

and im in Colorado where weve got tons and tons of birds and also bighorn, elk, moose, black bear etc

name a big game animal

weve got it

[wintry laurel]

btw do you like my only great one (its my pfp)

[stray basalt]

Polar bear

Boom

[lone forge]

Never been there, my dad went there once, do you see whitetail sometimes?

[pine lily]

the birds include endangered gunnison grouse

[wintry laurel]

is POLAR BEAR ON THE NEW MAP?

[plain star]

No

[lone forge]

Ive been awake for 2 hours

[stray basalt]

Perchanceably

[pine lily]

outside of a couple small flocks in Utah colorado is the only state with them

[cunning cosmos]

Halp

sometimes but not everyday yesterday i saw one

[lone forge]

Epic

Never been to the Finnish mainland

[glacial summit]

Negative

[stray basalt]

Are we certain?

[inland kite]

Yeah, we're certain

[lone forge]

Tbf they look just like the common sage grouse which we could see on this map 🤞

[pine lily]

true, but they are sadly going towards extinction

[stray basalt]

Yeah but they’re endangered so EW has to add them

[plain star]

I can affirm that polar bears do exist not on this upcoming reserve

[pine lily]

last survey found a decreasing population in the gunnison grouse flocks

and while the proposition to ban bobcat hunting in CO did fail

if they were left unhunted theyd have a population explosion

[lone forge]

Their population might go down but I don't think they'll go extinct soon

[pine lily]

and after the rabbits are gone

the first thing they do is go after upland birds

and bobcats are notorious for surplus killing grouses especially

banning bobcat hunting is basically damning gunnison's grouse to die off in the next 5 years

[stray basalt]

-258 downvotes

[pine lily]

not as long as bobcats are manages

[pine lily]

yeah people get mad hearing that but its the truth

reduces boom/bust cycles too

less corpses

less diseases from lower pop density

i mean at the end of the day they technically cant cause morals are more of a human invention and they only really do what they think is fit to survive

[plain star]

[pine lily]

killing 10 grouse and taking out a whole flock to eat 3 and bury the other 7 for keeping just seems smart

[inland kite]

Its such a goofy emoji I love it

[lone forge]

[wintry laurel]

[pine lily]

but when every bobcat in the basin does it

then its a damn problem

[plain star]

[pine lily]

and every bobcat in the basin will do it

cause they want food security

[wintry laurel]

[stray basalt]

I want to say leopards were recently attributed to a moral system of sorts but I can’t find the paper

[pine lily]

but its under the assumption there will always be grouse

[plain star]

[wintry laurel]

does anyone wanna hunt with me on my map

[pine lily]

intriguing i wanna find that ngl

[stray basalt]

Have you tried https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/491938753917485056?

[cinder flame]

On the topic of Alberta I said it once I’ll say it again LETS GO OILERS🗣️🟠🔵🟠🔵

Amazing game tn

[stray basalt]

Did they win?

[cinder flame]

Ya 4-1

[stray basalt]

Hell yeah

[wintry laurel]

is oilers a hockey team?

[cinder flame]

Ya the Edmonton oilers is a team in the nhl

[plain star]

Damn I wish I was into hockey a little more, but the only Texas team there is the stars, which y’all just beat

[wintry laurel]

i had my first american football game last saturday

[plain star]

And I don’t really care for the stars

[glacial summit]

not over yet

[cinder flame]

Cheer for the oilers man in honour of the new map 😂

[cinder flame]

Dallas has to win 3 in a row to win the series

[wintry laurel]

guys you pick what map should i go play

they all fresh cuz i just started a new game

[stray basalt]

Mississippi

[cinder flame]

Sunderpattan

[lone forge]

Idk what oilers is but can you please stop spamming it it's annoying

[cinder flame]

Nope

It’s Alberta based

It’s fine

[lone forge]

🤨

[wintry laurel]

annoying that idont have the first srp outpost from spawn and only have one from accross the map

[plain star]

Team is in Edmonton

[glacial summit]

Tell you what you can bring it up again when/if they win the series

[cinder flame]

Which is the capital of Alberta my home

[glacial summit]

Otherwise take it to #🦝︴off-topic

[cinder flame]

Deal

[plain star]

Also I do like to watch hockey whenever it comes on, shares a lot of similarities with lacrosse

Which I did play

[cinder flame]

Off topic back to the map here me out they should give us tannerite to blow the dams and huts up😂

[pine lily]

alternatively

[stray basalt]

tlachtli is the best sport.

[pine lily]

flamethrower tank

[inland kite]

Yeah like we need a churchill crocodile for herd management

[pine lily]

im so glad at least one other person actually knows this things exact name

[stray basalt]

It’s my emotional support Churchill Crocodile

[plain star]

Just give us the Steyr Gustav

[pine lily]

nah we gotta have that uh

whatd the proto NASA dudes use for testing in like 1951

oh yeah

the

and I quote

[plain star]

Or just the damn Death Star

[pine lily]

"ORBITAL RIFLE"

[wintry laurel]

i have played too much warthunder to know thats a Churchill Crocodile

[plain star]

Yeah that thing

[pine lily]

designed to fire projectiles past the goddamn karman line

[stray basalt]

Test drive——> hop off ——> Test drive——> hop off ——> Test drive——> hop off ——>

[pine lily]

real

[plain star]

Give us the manhole cover

[wintry laurel]

but i quit war thunder bc its so pay to win and id rather use my money on hunter

[pine lily]

i spent my senior seminar class writing a paper about the man who helped invent it and commanded the 79th Armoured Division it served in during WWII

counting the bibliography and cover page its 27 pages long

7500 words

I got a 96 on that

its basically the undergraduate thesis for my history degree

[pine lily]

lmao

[stray basalt]

Glad to say I’ve never spent a dime on the snail and made it to American air tree tier 5.

[inland kite]

I mean just think about it, we already have the FL .303 sporter for TA (which New Zealand was formerly under the dominion of the British Empire), so why not for Askiy Ridge, the boys AT rifle?

[stray basalt]

I wanna shoot a polar bear with a Lewis gun

[wintry laurel]

i want a browning M2 to pur down deers the humane way

[inland kite]

I mean, we could also just revert back to another 4-8 slop with the Ross MK III

[plain star]

Remember us saying 22 lr >470 NE earlier….

[wintry laurel]

at the same time i want a Browning M2 to put down deers the humane way...

[stray basalt]

4-9? with .280 Ross

I don’t really know where to put .280 Ross tbh

It’s quite the odd ball

[wintry laurel]

btw why do people not hunt elephants with MGs?

[inland kite]

Waterfowl be damned cause its going to be like flying through a wall of AAA

[stray basalt]

Poachers

[wintry laurel]

at this point Why not drop 2000kg Air support bombs on those MFs

[inland kite]

I mean hell, I'm down for anything odd as long as its fun to hunt with

[stray basalt]

Still can’t believe they tried to kill The Cave Crew.

Main reason The Angler died lmao.

[wintry laurel]

btw is angler worth it i been thinkin abt buying it

[stray basalt]

Imo

No

[wintry laurel]

ok

[stray basalt]

I have every dlc and nearly max level

[stray basalt]

It gets really boring

[trim kiln]

As an Albertan I'm very stoked but kinda question the choice of Manitoban elk, they're not a common species here and it seems like an odd choice considering rocky mountain elk would be far more prominent in the area where the map seems to be set

[wintry laurel]

start a new game ig

[inland kite]

Who cares about accuracy when you can suppress their ability to fly

[wintry laurel]

new species t ohunt is a new species to hunt.

[stray basalt]

They’d rather add a new species so it looks better on paper

[wintry laurel]

i like a new species more too

[quaint lintel]

Did y'all notice the player had a new outfit on in the trailer?

[stray basalt]

No

[pine lily]

no

[quaint lintel]

Yea, hold up

[wintry laurel]

i hope they always add as much new species as possible

[stray basalt]

All I could see was a silhouette

[inland kite]

Yeah, I thought they were

[wintry laurel]

the spring bear thing event is it a new species?

i gotta go to school at 10.15

[tawdry juniper]

no probably not sadly

alberta isn't anywhere we'd see a new species

and they confirmed no polar bears this time

[quaint lintel]

Looks like he's wearing those winter hats with long ear covers, new winter outfit maybe

[inland kite]

I mean, comparing it with the existing arctic hunting outfit, maybe...

[dusk creek]

Theres 7 species we dont know about yet

[tawdry juniper]

i was gonna say it looked like a ushanka to me

[wintry laurel]

found this on the internet abt most commons animals in alberta

[quaint lintel]

Yea maybe new outfit, maybe the old one

[inland kite]

Wouldn't be suprised lmao

[pine lily]

im personally sitting here just hoping we get a remodeled pronghorn and mtn goat

please lord

[wintry laurel]

hope there will be badgers and bats would go crazy but no chance theyll be added

i mean werevolves

not badger

[tawdry juniper]

same but with mountain lion for me, they're such cool animals but i don't really hunt them cause they look awful

[pine lily]

wolverines?

[pine lily]

and theyre annoying as hell

[tawdry juniper]

that too

[pine lily]

honestly that and grizzlies too would also be awesome

[inland kite]

Yeah some new outfits or a more in-depth character customization screen would be awesome

[tawdry juniper]

they need fixing

[wintry laurel]

yeah

[dusk creek]

The carnivores need desperate glowups if theyre old more than anything

[pine lily]

mtn lion rework so theyre limited pop like tigers and more skittish like snow leopards

[tawdry juniper]

I don't want them to be quite as limited as tigers but something like that could work

[wintry laurel]

yo im gonna grind hunter when summer break starts

[inland kite]

Yeah, like everyone's saying about the grizzly

[wintry laurel]

imagine if they add bats one dya

day

[dusk creek]

They should be more of an inbetween of snow leopard and tiger

Not as aggressive and not as elusive

For mtn lion

[tawdry juniper]

i got a diamond grizzly and i taxed him but i hide him in the back of my lodge cause he's ugly 😖

[pine lily]

im thinking 20 or 22 per reserve

[lofty tree]

Whilst not as low as tigers the lions do rank 3rd lowest in terms of numbers under 100 per map around 50 from what i remember

[pine lily]

divided even male/female

[tawdry juniper]

nod nod

[dusk creek]

Or, make them as elusive as sl, and semi aggressive

[tawdry juniper]

i also would really love them on a snowy map

would make for a super cool hunt

assuming they looked nice

[pine lily]

especially since in most locales where they have a season their season runs from late October/early November to late March/early April

[last schooner]

arnt the lowest population tigers, snow leopards then actually lions then mountain lions/puma

[tawdry juniper]

exactly what i was thinking

[inland kite]

While the update is likely to come out in mid June and as much as I'm looking forward to sitting down and playing, I'll going to be going camping inside/visiting Yellowstone for the very first time around that same time frame

[dusk creek]

Snow leopard is the lowest

[lofty tree]

🤦‍♂️ missed the mountain part

[tawdry juniper]

I hope you see a grizzly! but not too close!

[wintry laurel]

holy crap yellowstone is my dream aint there like bison n stuff

[tawdry juniper]

it's a cool experience

[wintry laurel]

kinda boring animals here in finlan

where is yellowstone btw

[tawdry juniper]

i was really fortunate to see a mother and her cub while i was there, it was awesome

[pine lily]

Wyoming

[wintry laurel]

imagine a yellowstone map

[dusk creek]

Murica

[pine lily]

one of our amazingly square western states

[tawdry juniper]

northwest corner of wyoming

[wintry laurel]

thanks is that a usa state?

[tawdry juniper]

yes

[pine lily]

yep

[dusk creek]

Now that is never happening lol

[wintry laurel]

ok

[inland kite]

Yeah I've heard and seen online a lot about the Tourons of Yellowstone

[plucky forge]

Anything new?

[wintry laurel]

why have they said smth

[tawdry juniper]

hahaha oh god

[wintry laurel]

im gonna finally visit greece next summer

[dusk creek]

No but theyres already a lot of map icons that cover it

[pine lily]

I forget every country only really teaches its own geography and geography of immediately adjacent countries and then basically nothing for the rest of the plane tapart from basics like the north/south pole, equater, continents, hemispheres, and oceans

[dusk creek]

Id be very surprised

[inland kite]

Yeah, there's plains bison, rocky mountain elk, grizzly bear, wolves, pronghorn, basically if you took most of Silver Ridge Peak's animal lineup and plopped them into a national park

[wintry laurel]

yeah we have learned all european and north - south american countries but not all states

[pine lily]

only thing that could be added is moose, grizzly bear, and wolf

[dusk creek]

7 unconfirmed species pretty sure

12 known

[wintry laurel]

also are the maps all based on some real life place not just a country

[pine lily]

yeah local geography is country by country lol, like I dont got a damn clue about what counties/provinces Finland has

but i have memorized all 50 US states

cause im american

[wintry laurel]

yeah i know every european country and capitals on map

[dusk creek]

As long as u know where the country is ur fine

[wintry laurel]

our capital is helsinki

[inland kite]

I'm hoping it'll be a 50/50 split between returning but remodeled animals, and some new species

[pine lily]

all are based on some general region in a given country, for the maps in the US many of those regions are inside a given state

[wintry laurel]

btw not tryna flex but i got an new graphics card for birthday and im rlly happy

[inland kite]

Nice

[inland kite]

I'm thinking of buying Askiy Ridge as a little reward for slugging through my Colleges spring quarter

[wintry laurel]

bc my dad has an ultra pc bc hes a gamer like im talkin 4090 and newest processor i got his old graphics card

[pine lily]

Spring a bit of a struggle for motivations for you as well?

[tawdry juniper]

hell yeah congrats

[dusk creek]

Cotw reserves are pretty cheap if you keep up on them

Thats the only downside, keeping up

[tawdry juniper]

happy late(?) birthday

[inland kite]

The burnout is real my brother...

[wintry laurel]

it was this month

👍

[pine lily]

same, but I managed to survive and keep the 4.0 cause i had a lot of lattitude with my research projects

[tawdry juniper]

same here 🤝

[wintry laurel]

im gonna have to go to school in just a sec

[pine lily]

basically full freedom of choice, and most stuff was real short

[wintry laurel]

🤝

im rlly good in math i get 10s and 10+ all the time (basically an A) but i aint very good in history and religion

[inland kite]

Got around like 3- 3 1/2 weeks left til its over, with only my finals being the last real hurdle

[wintry laurel]

im gonna go now bye guys

[plain star]

Spring is a bit harder because no football lol

[inland kite]

See ya man, have fun with that new graphics card

[pine lily]

damn thats a long semester

[pine lily]

cya

[pine lily]

certified maddog answer

[inland kite]

Goes from April til mid june so around 10-ish weeks from what I can gather

[pine lily]

okay thats actually really short then

just later

mine was early January to early May

16 weeks

[plain star]

April to June…thats interesting

[inland kite]

Rip

[plain star]

Penn State is January to Early May

[lone forge]

Do y'all think blue will be common for snow goose?

[coarse lintel]

Bruh it’s been an hour since I was in this chat and there’s 659 new messages 😂

[pine lily]

id say uncommon

like a third of them are blue in the wild

[lone forge]

I'm guessing 10-30% of them are blue

[pine lily]

this reveal has led me to send 1000 messages in this server in the last 24 hours lmao

[inland kite]

Trying to get up at 6:00am PST (adjusting for the time differences around the world) to watch the next F1 race is just not my cup of tea man, glad that the Canadian Grand Prix is starting at 11 am for me

[coarse lintel]

I’m going to bed now and I guarantee that there will be 2k+ messages xD

[pine lily]

possibly 3000 im not sure

[coarse lintel]

We’ll find out 😂

[pine lily]

people do be talking

[inland kite]

Its prob just going to be 50% what the remaining species will be and the other 50% being PoLaR BeAr AdDeD???

[plain star]

My sister is into F1 more than I am, and what’s interesting is that I am more into cars than she is

[pine lily]

lemme tell you, the existence of sausage curbs make me wanna strangle the FIA executives with the spinal sinew of a deer

[plain star]

Or “How many animals” or “what animals are on rhe new reserve”

[tawdry juniper]

I miss the person i was when i thought they were gonna make nunavut

[inland kite]

Oh how the turntables... lmao

[tawdry juniper]

"is there a release date"

[plain star]

That too, lol

[lone forge]

Imagine a redone pronghorn in the snow

[plain star]

Probably at least a fourth of my messages are me ranting about whitetail deer

[pine lily]

they could still do Nunavut/NWT thats like boreal forest margin/tundra plain, coast, and ice sheets with musk ox, polar bear, walrus, several seal species, arctic hare, arctic fox, wolverine, arctic wolf, caribou, snow goose, tundra swan, king eider, etc.

[inland kite]

As much as I'd love more reserves and species to hunt, I just want to see more forms transport other than the ATV or walking, like a horse or a canoe

[lone forge]

#1375853270890840245
#1070045518002147458

[tawdry juniper]

I hope, i think i prefer NWT actually, 'cause dall sheep

[pine lily]

yeah definitely dall sheep too

[plain star]

I prefer Nunavut because Arctic Cordillera

But dall sheep is also a good point

Oh, and the amount times I’ve said Arctic cordillera today

[tawdry juniper]

NWT has the mckenzie mountains

though arctic cordillera is a whole different animal

[quasi holly]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[tawdry juniper]

would be cool to see no doubt

[quasi holly]

HOW MANY MORE PLAIN BISON MAPS

how many more . . .

[tawdry juniper]

whos gonna tell him

[inland kite]

Brother its a wood bison chill

[lone forge]

This map doesn't have them tho?

[quasi holly]

https://tenor.com/view/come-look-at-this-come-look-at-this-meme-run-run-away-laughing-at-phone-gif-24193569

epic embed fail

[plain star]

Mount Thor would be insane

[hearty blade]

Do we have a full list of species on the map?

[tawdry juniper]

malding over 2 maps with plains bison LMAO

[pine lily]

this

[quasi holly]

theres no way it's too there is no WAy

[plain star]

Imagine the view it would provide if it was in a reserved they made

[pine lily]

incomplete @hearty blade only 12 of 19 known

[hearty blade]

Thanks

[plain star]

And looking down the sheer drop

[hearty blade]

Thanks

[pine lily]

its just two...

[inland kite]

I'm just glad the wood bison has been both, acknowledged, and is being added to COTW

[tawdry juniper]

same, i didn't think they'd do it

[quasi holly]

huh.

STILL

where are the euros

[tawdry juniper]

figured we'd get plains

[hearty blade]

Do we know a realise date for the map?

[quasi holly]

give me my damn euro bison

[tawdry juniper]

in hirsch oh my god

[pine lily]

on hirschfelden....

[quasi holly]

i know

[pine lily]

where they have been

since the game released

[quasi holly]

but hirsch isnt a real map

[pine lily]

9 years ago

[hearty blade]

Do we know a realise date for the map?

[pine lily]

you impetulant slungoid

[quasi holly]

hirsch is made by big pharma to make people buy the dlcs

[quasi holly]

you know im right

[pine lily]

nothing confirmed but prospective June 17 to 22 range

[inland kite]

Its been that long holy Jesus lmao

[hearty blade]

Thanks

But could be earlier?

[pine lily]

open beta started summer 2016 yeah

[pine lily]

maybe but its usually 3rd week of June for summer release

generally a thursday

[hearty blade]

K thanks

Are the unknown species going to be new species or returning species? Do we have any hints or stuff and is there actually gonna be 19 species or is that just a estimate

[pine lily]

no idea which, some people have heard 10 repeats and 9 new which leaves 3 new species but others have said 12 repeated 7 new which leaves only 1 new species

[plain star]

5 years after our lord and savior Todd Howard released Skyrim unto the earth

[pine lily]

I personally lean towards 10 returning/9 new

[inland kite]

We have no idea at this moment, although there's been speculation on species like grizzly bears, or caribou

[hearty blade]

Hmmm there better be stone or dall sheep or smth

[pine lily]

i theorize we're gonna get mtn goat, pronghorn, caribou, and grizzly bear as returning species with 3 new species including stone sheep

[plain star]

Which makes now what, almost 15 years since the last new elder scrolls game, damn

[pine lily]

possibly also smaller game, like badgers

or a skunk

or another furbearer

[inland kite]

And that they're only holding them back so they can reveal their levelotuion or the new great one

[hearty blade]

Pronghorn? But yeah we better get the rest it would make the map good

[pine lily]

so far all the revealed repeating animals were on the polls back in november, which included pronghorn, mtn goat, and caribou

[hearty blade]

Ohh

[lone forge]

I am guessing pronghorn, mountain goat and caribou

[lone forge]

And some birds, hopefully grouse, hopefully sage grouse

[quasi holly]

what are any other possible species so far for the remaining however many?

[hearty blade]

I NEED stone sheep

[pine lily]

plus the reserve is southwestern alberta and includes a grassland/prairie region, which could be where the pronghorn would go

[inland kite]

As much as I've been saying that Yukon has been one of my favorite NA maps, I think Askiy is probably gonna take that spot due to the sheer amount of wildlife, plus the aurora borealis being featured

[hearty blade]

Oh so it’s not just gonna be all snow

[pine lily]

remaining 7 we're fairly sure mtn goat, pronghorn, and caribou will be included too since they were in the nov/dec polls last year

[quasi holly]

great one caribou

cheeky

i still think great one bison would be peak but meh

[pine lily]

other 4 could be a number of things but popular picks are shaprtail grouse, stone sheep, badger, wolverine, and other famous NA game animals and furbearers

[hearty blade]

Will we be getting more hints about the species and what the map looks like or will they only show us at the release

[pine lily]

no not entirely

like the prairie will still have a dusting but its a common late fall grassland scene

[hearty blade]

Phew

[lone forge]

With some more american birds I am 100% on, this map will be great

[pine lily]

we will get a release date trailer next week sometime, likely tuesday or thursday

more pictures possibly between now and then

[hearty blade]

I can’t wait that long 🙏

[quasi holly]

it's ok seals and polar bears are coming they just lied

[hearty blade]

Yes plas

[hearty blade]

If only 😢

[pine lily]

and also a complete species list likely next week

[hearty blade]

Yessssss

[inland kite]

Yeah, basically the ultimate form of Yukon, Medved, and probably to a lesser extent, SRP and Layton

[hearty blade]

Imma go watch the trailer again hold on

[pine lily]

in terms of geography and species list its basically yukon fused with SRP if SRP was what it should have been

[inland kite]

Yeah true

[hearty blade]

Did I just see a wood bison in the trailer?

[pine lily]

mule deer got remodeled as well

also animals can get snow accumulation on their backs now it seems, and it will likely come with dynamic snow storms on the reserve

[pine lily]

yep!

[inland kite]

Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you

[pine lily]

one of 6 confirmed new species

[hearty blade]

ITS ABOUT TIME THEY GET A REMODEL

[hearty blade]

Wdym snow thing

[lone forge]

I would say a Yukon srp mix

[hearty blade]

Yeyyyyyy

[hearty blade]

YESSSSS BRO

[midnight moon]

They have no reason to lie

[hearty blade]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[inland kite]

IKR

[hearty blade]

THIS MAY BE PEAK

[quasi holly]

man i was making a joke 💔 🥀

[indigo wadi]

Goodnight all

[pine lily]

can see it on the mule deer doe here as well

[inland kite]

Not to mention we're getting another lever-action chambered in .30-30

[hearty blade]

Wow

[pine lily]

and its a near 1:1 of a Marlin 336

[jovial spade]

I don't think Caribou. Another smaller animal

[inland kite]

Hope to god it gets buffed at least

[plain star]

The One NA map to rule them all (until an NA arctic map comes out)

[pine lily]

new gun here too, seems to have new ammo as well

[inland kite]

That, or we're hunting rats with dogs down in the bronx lmao

[plain star]

Anyways, going to bed, gn y’all.

[indigo wadi]

Goodnight everybody talk to you tomorrow

[quasi holly]

africa 2.0 for the 10th anniversary of this game surely

[hearty blade]

Nice

[pine lily]

gn

[jovial spade]

Gn gng

[hearty blade]

Yo going sleep?

[jovial spade]

no

[hearty blade]

Gn

[pine lily]

also it can use standard scopes, no more absolute ass side mount scope

[jovial spade]

telling the guys who are gonna sleep goodnight

[inland kite]

Yeah, I thinks its best I log off too, as I got classes from 10-3 tomorrow

[indigo wadi]

The tip btw of the new bullets is green

This is used for AP rounds

[pine lily]

bighorn got remodeled as well

[indigo wadi]

Do these animals have body armor?

[static tree]

rahhhh

[inland kite]

Cya guys, had fun chatting with y'all

[hearty blade]

Tbh I barely see a difference

[indigo wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/rah-usmc-marines-devil-dog-military-gif-13018362507691597221

[pine lily]

for some cartridges yes but not with .30-30, just means a more solid bullet construction for better pen

[lone forge]

I'm hoping grouse, lots of grouse but my guess is they'll do all the poll animals which all are in alberta

[indigo wadi]

Gn all don’t wake up to early hope yall don’t get nightmares tonight and sleep tight

[pine lily]

meanwhile current model

[jovial spade]

What were the poll animals?

[lone forge]

Looks completely different, the horns, the head, the fur everything

[jovial spade]

More fluff and better horns now

[pine lily]

gray wolf, mule deer, moose, pronghorn, mtn goat, caribou iirc

[lone forge]

Every single one of those is in Alberta btw

[jovial spade]

Oh

[blissful bough]

all of those antlered ones are potential canada ones

[pine lily]

oh and bighorn yeah

[jovial spade]

Unpopular opinion, but I don't want Caribou in the new map. Leave it for the arctic one

[blissful bough]

so rocky mountain goat or just mountain goat are a likely addition to the map

[lone forge]

Yeah I'd rather have stone sheep or more birds

[pine lily]

if it could be exchanged for mtn lions with a complete rework and restriction to 20 or 22 per map under the snow leopard/tiger territory system id be happy

also willow ptarmigan would be nice to have on there

couple other grouse as well

maybe turkey?

[blissful bough]

rock ptarmigan are in canada too iirc

[jovial spade]

I want more small game furbearers

[pine lily]

yeah, i also was wondering back when the polls dropped why clarify rocky mountain goat

[pine lily]

give badger and wolverine

[jovial spade]

I'm in the map, possibly??

[blissful bough]

really hope they add a decent bunch of small game in these last 7 species to be confirmed

[blissful bough]

yes

[pine lily]

I could take both ptarmigan ngl

also whitetailed ptarmigan

3 ptarmigan

[lone forge]

Sage grouse, sharp tailed grouse, spruce grouse and ruffed grouse are all potential new upland birds

[blissful bough]

those would be a great addition imo, but you can’t say no to canada goose on the canada map

so i think at least there’ll be another goose

[pine lily]

alternatively they could also do a small reserve in december that is just stuffed full of NA upland birds including that whole list as like a US/Canadian Salz

[jovial spade]

What if this is just a late april fools prank, and we actually get New York City with rats?

[pine lily]

which I would happily buy

cause grouse

[lone forge]

They already said it's gonna be big

[pine lily]

yooooo

holy cow

aight nvm gimme more birds for alberta

Albirda

mo grouse pls

[lone forge]

But I'd be down for an Idaho 9 map, Arkansas flooded timber or Alaskan islands waterfowl

[lone forge]

Same!

If I had to choose the rest of the species would be

-stone sheep
-mountain goat
-pronghorn
-spruce grouse
-sage grouse
-sharp tailed grouse
-sandhill crane

There's 7 we don't know

But I really like grouse...

[pine lily]

I think 10 are supposed to be repeated and 9 are new, so wed be waiting for 3 more new announcements i think

assuming that id personally take stone sheep, badger, and sharp tailed grouse

[lone forge]

3 new would be stone sheep, sandhill crane and spruce grouse 4 me

4 more old would be mountain goat, Canada goose, pronghorn and goldeneye

[pine lily]

for me 4 more old would be mtn goat, pronghorn, grizzly, and mtn lion

[jovial spade]

Stone sheep don't live in Alberta?

[jovial spade]

Maybe Canada goose instead of mtn lion

but idk

[pine lily]

they barely scrape over i think, but mainly in northern alberta

[jovial spade]

Yeah, and this map is set in Alberta Rockies, I'm pretty sure

[lone forge]

They don't really that much but there just over the border

Euro bison also don't live in the alps

It's like yak on sundarpatan

Who don't live in Nepal

But make the map way better

[jovial spade]

Yaks do have small populations in northern nepal

[lone forge]

They don't

There's occasional sightings of single digit numbers

[lone forge]

There's been 3 spotted in 2022

[lethal cairn]

I really wish for a wolverine, they can be found in Alberta

[tawdry juniper]

An Idaho 9 small park would be to die for

Idk a lot about their distribution though, they’re probably a little all over huh

[manic gulch]

ayy me too

[outer geyser]

Will we find out more today?

[verbal peak]

If anything it’ll just be a small
teaser image to build more hype

[manic gulch]

Hopefully we can skip the goldeneye and get someother new instead, since sundarpatan had like 10 new same concept could be here

[plucky forge]

Any new infos about the new reserve , animals in it?

[jovial spade]

@plucky forge

[whole wren]

Please be wolverines

Otherwise this thing becomes New England 2.0😭

[jovial spade]

Not really. This time there's MANY new species

[hearty blade]

Frrrr

[jovial spade]

God, I want my dad to buy this again asap. I need this on my birthday

[hearty blade]

Do we have a world map of where exactly it will be?

[jovial spade]

no

[hearty blade]

😡

Does anyone have an updated world map of COTW? including the new map Alberta.

[static tree]

nu uh

[manic gulch]

it’d be 8

[tawdry nebula]

it’s waaay better than new england, u can’t even compare it

[glacial oasis]

no

[minor shadow]

Still hoping for Cougars in Alberta

[languid wedge]

@humble tinsel

[stoic echo]

@raven girder

[static tree]

i zionked it

[humble tinsel]

Droptine better

[deft heron]

looking at the poll again all of those animals can be in the new map so it's pretty much guaranteed that they will be part of the species list

[lone forge]

They also talked about grasslands in the steam post which would align with some more prairie based species like pronghorn and hopefully some prairie birds like sandhill crane, sage grouse or sharp tailed grouse

[last schooner]

still waiting for 270 and 6.5mm to be class 3 so i can hunt pronghorn with it

[sly hollow]

Just saying this could be the map for dall sheep

[lone forge]

If we're gonna get something that isn't bighorn it would be stone

[manic gulch]

that would be cool because then i could hunt roe deer with it

have you posted that suggestion in the weapons talk post?

[minor shadow]

Cougar, grizzly, Canadian Lynx and Coyote should also be on this map hopefully…. Red fox could use a Break.

[manic gulch]

i don’t mind those as long as there is some kind of small predator, though not lynx

[jade wyvern]

I hope they rework the spawns of mountain lions if they do add them. There’s wayyyyyyyy to many on silver ridge

They should be like snow leopards but not as rare

[real flame]

oooh, wood bison and new elk

I wonder whether we get musk ox?

[urban void]

Probably not

@shadow loom when can we expect the release date?? Pls and thank you

[iron drum]

Next week

[urban void]
