[opal vortex]

Map DLCs are always released on the third Thursday of June

[stoic echo]

not always. there has been the 12th done before the 22nd done before

plus vivi said they might dont be going at the same schedule as previous years

[opal vortex]

so I hope they release today, cant wait to play this map haha

[eternal belfry]

Why did they not do polar bears and wolverines?

Whole new map for beavers and a reskinned elk?

[opal vortex]

maybe there are wolverines on this map, there are still 7 species to be revealed

[stoic echo]

cos polar bears dont live in the bit of alberta where this is 😭

[eternal belfry]

My point is we could get beavers and polar bears if they didn’t do Alberta?

[stoic echo]

we could, just not with this update. they havent said that they're never adding polar bears

[eternal belfry]

It’s just a waste,

And it’s like what 8 North America reserves now?

[urban void]

6 I think

[eternal belfry]

Let me check

[stoic echo]

this will be the 7th

[eternal belfry]

7

I want to see stuff in South America, Africa, Asia.

We keep getting American maps, it’s boring at this point

[stoic echo]

yukon,srp,layton,racho,miss,nem, askiy

[eternal belfry]

And it’s mostly repeat species

[urban void]

Tru, I would love to see jaguars in the game

[iron drum]

There's going to be a decent amount of new species

[lone forge]

#1325982630792921159
#1375529292347211908
#1319172980982415360
#1140173149657366588

[eternal belfry]

How many are new that we know? Two I think?

[iron drum]

Here

[stoic echo]

Wood Duck
Dusky Grouse
Snow Geese

North American Beaver

Whitetail
Gray Wolf (Reworked)
Mule Deer (Reworked)
Bighorn Sheep (Reworked)

Wood Bison
Manitoban Elk
Black Bear
Moose

[iron drum]

And there are still 7 slots

[stoic echo]

these are what we know

[mighty dove]

Not necessarily. Could have been a completely different map had they decided to go a different route

[stoic echo]

6 new so far

[mighty dove]

There are still 7 species left. I am excited to see what they are

[eternal belfry]

Yes but they choose this instead of the same country but a little more north?

[stoic echo]

hopefully wolverine

[eternal belfry]

Hope so

[urban void]

I would have chosen like South American map tbh

[stoic echo]

that might be the map in winter this year

we dont know

[iron drum]

It's the second largest country in the world landmass wise...

[urban void]

What about Africa? Asia?

[iron drum]

What about them?

[urban void]

Aren’t they bigger than North America?

[eternal belfry]

Which baffles me as to why they would not choose the location to be the part of the country that everyone’s been asking for years now?

[iron drum]

Those are continents....

Not countries

[urban void]

Oh lol

[iron drum]

Bruh

[iron drum]

Idk. Didn't fit their direction or something.

[eternal belfry]

Hmmm

Maybe, it’s-a really generic NA species lineup, again.

[hearty blade]

Whitetail deserve a rework

[green wraith]

WISHLISTING fast!

Wood bison instead of reusing plains bison?? Hell yeah!!
Manitoban elk instead of reusing wapiti and most likely meaning an old wapiti remodel?? Hell yeah!
No arctic or timber wolf BUT remodel of grey wolf?? Hell yeah!
Snow on animals now?? Hell yeah!
Remodel of bighorn sheep?? Hell yeah!
Changing weather and 4 different regions on map?? Hell yeah!
New Great One confirmed?? Hell yeah!
Beaver as the brand new animal, most likely working like crocs in the gameplay, happy for it tho it's not my interest in hunting, it's something brand new for players! Hell yeah!
Brand new goose (and duck)?? Smallgame hunters will be happy! Hell yeah!
And a new type of gun I guess, I don't have the knowledge much of guns but I hope gun enthusiastics will be happy!

Can't wait to find out what are the other animals on the map!
I know it sounds like asking too much after so many cool stuff we are getting, but I still hope if there is remodeled caribou, polar fox, and idunno if whitetail/mule deer needs rework or GO or more levels for antlers but they are fine to me.
And I HOPE we soon get Sumatran-like predators rehaul where we get of max 10-20 pumas or bears on the map BUT agressive and charging if you manage to approach too close or hurt them.
Plus we didn't get a new trophy lodge for loooong time, please at least make me turn off the weapon holders if I don't use them just like trophy holders, they are constantly in the way, I only put trophies in my lodges and they are hidden by those big wooden objects.

Thank you so much for not abandoning the game!
Me and my friends love to play it and we are always so happy to see a new content!

Happy Hunting yAll!

[stoic echo]

i agree

[lone forge]

You forgot brand new grouse, that makes me happy

[unborn sigil]

100% They also need new antler variations. Have had the same handful of racks ever since truracks came out.

[umbral latch]

we are getting the full list today right?

[nimble fox]

i'm excited for the new map but a little bummed to have another NA map at the same time. Should be good though per usual

[stoic echo]

nope, no one has said that.

people are only guessing

[whole wren]

People on the Reddit are not too happy

[gloomy holly]

time to come back to the hunter after 6 months

how much will the map cost

[stoic echo]

ofc they arent

its reddit

[gloomy holly]

if you gave them a 144 square kilometre africa big 5 map with every species on the planet each with their own unique behaviour they’d complain about the name they chose for it

[stoic echo]

alot of people will complain if they dont get what they want to a tee. kinda sad tbh

[fringe orbit]

Maybe new mechanics ?

[iron drum]

Honestly the best thing would be not to look there.

[fringe orbit]

Based on the last poll

[carmine mason]

We got animal list yet ?

[iron drum]

I understand if you don't like the map, but ...

[whole wren]

I know we joke about Redditors, but those are all opinions that have also been displayed on here

[iron drum]

That's true, but imo, the complaining is a lot more over there. Not in a constructive way or anything. But that's just my opinion

[gloomy holly]

does anyone know?

[iron drum]

Probably between 999 and 1399 usd

[gloomy holly]

worth every penny

I NEED the new mule deer

and bison and elk

actually every species there

12/19 so far

[fast hawk]

I’m excited to find out what the new great one is

[mighty dove]

7 more species and they all could potentially be new

[green wraith]

(what is the game difference between the icons of and ?)

[fleet isle]

I’m just glad we’re getting a new map and wood ducks finally. Plus the bighorn remodel looks great from what we have seen so far. I’d still love to have stone or dall at some point but I’m not at all disappointed with this it’s already looking like a fun map

[tall wedge]

Hopefully we get cougars/mountain lions…it would be nice to see them in snow

[stoic echo]

the gold is antlered/racks, the pinkish one is predator

[fleet isle]

Or even a aoudad in a new west Texas map one day would be cool

[green wraith]

Ooh ok, thanks 😄

[stoic echo]

np

[fast hawk]

So should we be finding out additional information today?

[mighty dove]

Over the next week Vi said

[fast hawk]

K

[pearl harbor]

I hope one of the species are grizzly bear. They are in dire need of a remodel

[stoic echo]

we will get stuff until the map releases. we get the release date next week (im guessing next tuesday with Trailer #2)

[bronze forum]

Me too man I’m really hoping we have grizzlies

[fleet isle]

It would be nice they currently look like I know someone cheaper taxidermy 😂

[bronze forum]

Real talk 😂

[fleet isle]

I really hope we get dall sheep added to this map I would love to see it happen

Or even the stone sheep

[plucky forge]

whats the new g1

[urban void]

Im guessing mule deer

[nimble galleon]

is this gonna be in the game

[junior ice]

Guys how do we feel about this list for the possible remaining species

• Cougar (Remodel/rework)
• Caribou (Remodel)
• Grizzly bear (Remodel)
• Mountain goat (Remodel)
  -White tailed jackrabbit/snowshoe hare (Remodel/New)
• Canadian lynx (New)
• Gray partridge/chukar (New)

[fast badge]

Does anyone have pictures of grouse?

[junior ice]

They haven’t been revealed in game yet

[fast badge]

Okay thanks

[junior ice]

Np

[nimble galleon]

Species list is kinda boring so far imo

[junior ice]

I feel like the remodels and the environment will make it more interesting to hunt though, I was worried it was just going to feel like silver ridge/yukon 2.0 but it feels unique

[stoic echo]

Turkey
Wolverine
Mountain lion
mountain goat
another grouse
Snowshoe hare
Coyote

im thinking these

[iron drum]

Do the announcements start this or next week

[junior ice]

I could see that, personally I’d trade out coyote for cougar but that’s also a solid list

I can’t believe I forgot to put Wolverine on mine

[stoic echo]

wouldnt cougars be mtn lions basically?

[warm imp]

I don't think Daeodon was announced

[plain star]

They are mountain lions

[lone forge]

Id rather have these but that's and unrealistic
Cougar
Mountain goat
Stone sheep
Spruce grouse
Bufflehead
Sharp tailed grouse
Ruffed grouse

[plain star]

They are the same thing

[iron drum]

Yeah. Puma=cougar= mountain lion

[nimble galleon]

🤓 mtn lions cougars pather puma are all the same species its just the region they inhabit also black pathers are any of the 4 possessing melanistic properties

[plain star]

I use Cougar and Mountain Lion interchangeably

[lone forge]

That's wrong

[nimble galleon]

?

[lone forge]

Black panthers are not mountain lions

[nimble galleon]

i do apologize im going from what I remember🙏

[hollow burrow]

I'm hyped for the list we have just because whitetail and mule deer are my favorite to hunt but I hate Rancho so hopefully the map itself is better

[rigid haven]

how much is it gonna be,

?

[plain star]

Dang cougars have over 40 names in English alone

[nimble galleon]

it just seems like no new animals

[plain star]

There are 9 new animals wdym

[lone forge]

No issue, They usually are leopards or jaguar but can be any species of the genus Panthera (no mela snow leopards or lions on record tho) cougar (puma concolor) is in the puma genus like cheetah and jaguarundi. There's also no black cougars on record

[nimble galleon]

from what i saw it seemed like no new mb gang

[stoic echo]

there is 6 new animals so far

[snow sun]

There really isn't any Medium game animals listed yet..

[stoic echo]

bighorn

[snow sun]

Unless you count Beaver, but I see them more smallish.

[stoic echo]

mule deer

wt

[snow sun]

Those are all "big game" species.

[stoic echo]

ingame wise id count that as medium cos theyre medium class (4-6)

[snow sun]

I'm talking Coyote, Fox, Bobcat, Lynx..

[stoic echo]

ah

[plain star]

Maybe Canada lynx?

[snow sun]

There will be a few more new species, but if the majority of them are birds, that's going to be frowne upon.

Frowned*

Although I like the birds in this game personally.

[stoic echo]

i feel like we will get wolverine in the last 7 species

[snow sun]

And they go aggressive, hopefully. lol

[wraith gale]

Yeah probably but honestly with the stuff they already added I wouldn’t mind 2-4 small species hopefully new for the map

I just like the map even though it’s repeats and remodels like I think it’s so good with snow I don’t care.

[lone forge]

Id appreciate american rev

[mighty dove]

I don't want the rest of the list to be birds, but I ain't gonna complain if a few of them are

[snow sun]

Canvasbacks are neat little ducks.

However you spell them.

[desert hound]

I think they're going to add sharp tailed grouse and, or ruffled grouse

[snow sun]

Apparently they're one of the most hunted duck species in Alberta.

[mighty dove]

Birds just ain't my thing, but it wouldn't be fair to ask for no birds just because I don't prefer them

[snow sun]

Pheasants and other out of the air birds aren't my thing, I couldn't hit them if they were as big as a barn.

[ivory vapor]

The rest of the unknown species end up being birds then that’ll be a huge no for me

[snow sun]

but I can set up for ducks and find the game enjoyable.

[desert hound]

I think ruffled and sharp tailed grouse would be a popular species if they're added

[mighty dove]

Half and half would be fine with me as long as it's new species

[ivory vapor]

Yeah that would be fine. I doubt all of them would be, though. But you never know

[lone forge]

Don't forget the spruce grouse

I'm in favor of 3-4 new birds and 3-4 more mammals

[tight raven]

I wonder what rares they are gonna have

[lone forge]

We already have the dusky grouse and wood duck which are my #1s

[lone forge]

Leucistic and hybrid would my guesses be

[snow sun]

Grouse species are nice.

[desert hound]

I think they're going to at least add one more grouse species

[snow sun]

Pintails would be a nice duck species.

I don't know how they'll skip Canadian Geese though.. lol

[lone forge]

Duck wise pintails and buffleheads are cool

[lone forge]

They are on like 3 maps already

[mighty dove]

One can dream

[snow sun]

And I'd rather see Coyotes backfilled on SRP than added here.

[stoic echo]

these look too different to be the same species imo

[lone forge]

Different colour and lights I think

Also from where is that screenshot???

[stoic echo]

left one is from Steam, right is from official website

[lone forge]

Yeah didn't see right yet

[green wraith]

I thought we already have snowhoe hare on Revontuli?
My vision is

• snowshoe hare
• arctic fox
• caribou (remodel)
• cougar (only if remodeled and reworked)
• canadian lynx
• gray partridge
• and I guess grizzly and mountain goat and canadian goose is realistic for reusing models

[lone forge]

Did you know that Bieber means beaver in German meaning we all made beaver/Bieber jokes with Justin Bieber back in the day

[lone forge]

Polar fox is a hard no for alberta

[stoic echo]

damn

[snow sun]

Meh, Red Deer and Red Fox are on multiple maps, doesn't really stop them from continuing to add them. lol

[lone forge]

I'd love cougar with snow leopard mechanics

[lone forge]

Didn't say it's unlikely just that I don't really want them to much

[mighty dove]

This would be a nice map to finally add squirrels

[green wraith]

I mean arctic fox would be at least NEW species 😄

[snow sun]

It would be disappointing, but it is in the top 5 most hunted bird species in Alberta.

[regal briar]

YALL NEED TO TAKE A LOOK WHAT MAP CONCEPT I FOUND IN MY NOTES

[mighty dove]

[busts door down] did someone say arctic fox?

[snow sun]

But then again Impala are the most hunted game species in Africa and Africa didn't have them.

[regal briar]

Predicted it a year earlier

[green wraith]

I did XDD

[snow sun]

It would be nice to see a map with multiple bear species.

[mighty dove]

[busts through wall] say no more

[lone forge]

Add the other 4

[snow sun]

The other 4 are better, yeah.

[lone forge]

Unless it's mallard, what are the top 5

[random merlin]

I like the thickness of the antlers in the photo on the left. They look really nice

[snow sun]

Well Mallard is up there too.. lol

Canvasbacks, Redheaded Ducks would both be new.

[mighty dove]

Ugh. I hate being teased. I just want the rest of the list

EW please 🙏

[regal briar]

Made it a year ago

[mighty dove]

Omg please!

To see them doing that animation would be epic

EW

[spark magnet]

planet zoo mentioned

[shadow prism]

I hope we get snowshoe hairs

[lone forge]

Yes Arctic fox but not here, they are an high arctic species not really fit for these environments should be added on another map in the future or medved, Alaska, Russia, northern Canada, Greenland Iceland, fennoscandia and Svalbard could all work

[shadow prism]

Hares*

[lone forge]

Would be cool with there winter fur

[shadow prism]

Yup and give them mela and maybe piebald but not albino cuz yeah

[lone forge]

Dark (there summer fur) and molting could also work as rares

Basically opposite of what they did with the mountain hare

[tight raven]

Snow bunny

[vivid cosmos]

Where did the new picture came from?

Good morning everyone

[lone forge]

Official the hunter website has it

[bitter sorrel]

Yall think this is a regular like $8 map or one of the $12 like sunderpaten

[vivid cosmos]

Okay

[plain vigil]

New teaser today?

[vivid cosmos]

Probably not Philip, until next Tuesday

[vivid cosmos]

I like them more and more

[lone forge]

Me to, they looks great on that pic

[lone forge]

Some pots is nice

[plain vigil]

Could still reveal one more animal

[vivid cosmos]

They could but not a new trailer

[stone night]

When is the reserve said to be released

[stoic echo]

''this summer'' but more than likely in the next 3 weeks

[jovial spade]

You're right

[quaint lintel]

Looks next level

[lone forge]

Where's that from

[quaint lintel]

Same place

[marble quartz]

HAS EW POST SOMETHING YET

[mighty dove]

They posted about beavers

[quaint lintel]

Where?

[fast hawk]

Twitter

[quaint lintel]

Link?

[urban void]

I need to see the beaver

[marble quartz]

THEY DID

[urban void]

Link pls??

[fast hawk]

I don’t know how to link

[mighty dove]

https://x.com/thehuntercotw/status/1927726701397639336?s=46&t=4_kppLCwLQrmweDlvZ0Jhg

[fast hawk]

I would imagine it’s probably on their main Facebook

[calm fractal]

Cant wait to use the 300 on beavers

[fair magnet]

https://youtube.com/shorts/B6FjwamNzhQ?si=KYlnuRfS10sGCmRV

[fair magnet]

For new short

[lone forge]

Not lots of new stuff just a meme

I hope there will be a sev diary on beavers

🦫

[mighty dove]

Closer look at their model at least

[fair magnet]

I wonder how much money you get for beavers

[urban void]

They are so cute if they didn’t take so many structures down

[lone forge]

This isn't close enough? Do you want to see it with a damn microscope

[fair magnet]

@urban void no just got to buy a lot of ammo

[urban void]

Fr

[uneven bloom]

ayy I watched Flinter's recap and it would appear bighorn got redone

[fair magnet]

A lot semi auto rifles will be used

[marble quartz]

We will have a kill party for the 🦫

[night trench]

Yes they did

[mighty dove]

I was saying the post gave us a closer look at their model

[fair magnet]

@marble quartz yeah a lot multiple players severs will have dead zones

[marble quartz]

How hard is it to not kill the beaver

[night trench]

Not very hard

But it also aint hard to kill him

[fair magnet]

Very hard work

[marble quartz]

They are so cute and adorable

[lone forge]

Was more of a joke, I agree

[urban void]

Will the remodel species have a population reset?

[lone forge]

Popular oponion, I wanna pick em up by shoulders and carry them around

They definitely deserve a kids seat when driving

[lone forge]

Peopably but who knows

[urban void]

Im hoping, I think today I’ll search my map for trophies and such from all remodel just in case

[agile cradle]

they'll more than likely have to, considering they're probably coded as a new seperate entity

[fair magnet]

@marble quartz yeah but nice target and should have traps

[marble quartz]

Are they missing with us with the post or is that all we get today

[urban void]

I hope not

[marble quartz]

I hope we get more than that Post

[urban void]

What do we think the rares for the beavers are?

[marble quartz]

Every one who has their tent destroyed

[fair magnet]

I think only post once day

[shrewd finch]

Yes

[urban void]

New great one??

[fair magnet]

Albino Melanistic piebald leucisic and maybe pink

[marble quartz]

I hope we can talk to them and ask questions

[lone forge]

My guesses melanistic, albino, piebald may be leucistic

[fair magnet]

@marble quartz probably not because no live stream

[marble quartz]

Stop it hard now because I am a animal lover but I want to get my revenge on them for destroying my tent but at the same time they are so adorable

[urban void]

I feel the same way

[marble quartz]

@urban void because there are so cute but they are demon for destroying our tent

[urban void]

I know 😭😭

[marble quartz]

The fun part is the wolfs

[regal briar]

Do yall think we are getting any new animals apart for the ones we know of right now?

[weak smelt]

Yes

Still 7 unknown ones

[marble quartz]

@regal briar yes there are 19

[regal briar]

I meant like any that are coming with this map like that are not already in the game

Also beavers will build dams

Its confirmed

[marble quartz]

@regal briar yes there are 7 more we don't know

[oblique plinth]

i think they mean if any of the 7 unannounced will be brand new, never before seen in the game species

which they could be

i'm wondering if they're saving something big for a later announcement

[regal briar]

Exactly

[ivory vapor]

Hoping there's more big game apart from Moose and Bison

[oblique plinth]

keeping my fingers crossed for remodeled grizzly

and of course we still don't know which species is getting the GO

[spark magnet]

new elk if you count it

[lean mist]

i think the biggest name would be beaver ngl

[marble quartz]

Bison are conform

[ivory vapor]

Oh yeah. Just want more new ones, not impressed with the current list apart from Beavers and that Elk

[lean mist]

also hope they rework more animals with this update, like the potential grizzly, mountain goat and cougar

that would be 6 reworks?

[marble quartz]

I am wondering the release date is

[spark magnet]

the new elk looks beautiful, unfortunately I think the biggest game we are getting are elk moose and bison, but im hoping they add something else ❤️‍🩹

[lean mist]

around the 15th probably

[oblique plinth]

best guess is june 17th

the second tuesday after the announcement trailer

tends to be the pattern with them

[ivory vapor]

Which are on so many other maps, hope those aren't the only ones

Bear too but then again

Grizzlies on here I'd like a lot though

[spark magnet]

ill be happy if its a grizzlies rework, would be sick

[marble quartz]

On farther day no way they do that that would be unfair for the dads

[oblique plinth]

how so

if i was a dad i'd love a new game on father's day

[void plover]

is this a real place i can find in alberta

[marble quartz]

True but you also want to spend time with your kids

[oblique plinth]

plus it isn't father's day for everyone- at least it doesn't seem to be father's day here in canada on the 17th

[void plover]

its not

[oblique plinth]

isn't that usually on a sunday?

[spark magnet]

none of the reserves are a 1 to 1 scale of anything, it just shows off the environment

sure you could find a place that looks like it, but never 100% accurate

[marble quartz]

I just saying though

[void plover]

is mainly new birds or are there new animals too

[oblique plinth]

but if it's not even father's day, why would it be a problem?

[marble quartz]

I woulding if they give us the animal list this week or next week

[lean mist]

probably next week

[void plover]

awesome sauce

[marble quartz]

I think this week

[fair magnet]

@marble quartz 50/50 probably this week because we got a part of animals list. But nothing else to give away next except rares and g1

[vivid cosmos]

Probably next Tuesday we'll get a full trailer, that weekend we'll get content creators early access and on the second Tuesday from now we get the map.

[fair magnet]

Yeah

But never know

[vivid cosmos]

We kind of do know but we would all want it sooner

[marble quartz]

But they could surprise us release the animal list this week because they did so us some animals yesterday so they could do that then tell us what the g1 is on Tuesday

[fair magnet]

Or teasers of animals we don't haven't seen in short's

[stoic echo]

i feel like we will get trailer 2 next week with the other animals . and they post about the g1.

then the tuesaday after that release

[vivid cosmos]

Oh animal list?... hmmm maybe

[urban void]

Are the bears getting a remodel? The bear in the trailer looks puffier

[woven grotto]

I think it could just be that they have a bigger fur because of the snow

[vivid cosmos]

I think it's a GO

[stoic echo]

its a g1 model i think but with base fur. idk why they did that but thats what i think

[vivid cosmos]

Could be

[stoic echo]

cos apparently they did that with the tahr too but idk

[dreamy portal]

I have a feeling this is gunna be my new favorite

[vivid cosmos]

I think that too

[dreamy portal]

I like the new gun coming

[urban void]

Same Mud

[dreamy portal]

The 30-30

[vivid cosmos]

I will like the mountains

[spare sentinel]

I can’t wait to play the new map

[woven grotto]

Ngl but why are they adding the wood ducks in this map instead of Mississippi and I live in Mississippi and see them all the time

[spare sentinel]

I haven’t had time to get on

[dreamy portal]

I can’t wait to finnaly hunt wood ducks

[woven grotto]

I agree

[marble quartz]

Bighorn sheep got remodel for sure there hron are huge

[stoic echo]

they might backfill them another time

[urban void]

They are so pretty, hopefully they add them to Mississippi

[woven grotto]

That’s what I hope

[vivid cosmos]

Do you know if there is a big population of them in Alberta? Just because you have them doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't

[vivid cosmos]

Their faces and fur look amazing

[dreamy portal]

The new gun

[woven grotto]

I never said that Alberta can’t have wood ducks

[marble quartz]

The way the snow cover them is sick

[woven grotto]

Maybe the sled is for dog sleds and they will add huskies🤔

[urban void]

I love that mechanic

[vivid cosmos]

"Why are they adding wood duck to the new map" because they live there?

[woven grotto]

Yeah, I know

[marble quartz]

They did a amazing job

[woven grotto]

I never said they couldn’t

I’m just saying they should’ve added them to Mississippi because they live there

[marble quartz]

I am hoping we get muskox

[meager crater]

I am also hoping they backfill them to Mississippi, I hunt wood ducks in swamps similar to that map every year

[dreamy portal]

I’m hoping for Dall sheep

[stoic echo]

maybe limited amount of muskox?

[woven grotto]

Yes

[meager crater]

I’m kinda surprised they didn’t go with pintail over wood ducks

[woven grotto]

Probaly like snow leopards

[stoic echo]

yea

[meager crater]

They have experience modeling pintail with classic

[desert narwhal]

Wood ducks are probably my favorite

[lone forge]

Rather not, something more Arctic like #1375853270890840245 fits em hetter

[lone forge]

Snow leopards are actually native to Nepal and not vagrant

[meager crater]

Wood ducks are my favorite just because that’s all we have where I’m from, pintail are a very close second even tho I don’t get to hunt them

[marble quartz]

Snow hare would be nice

[vivid cosmos]

See when you say "they should've added them to Mississippi" you make it sound like "instead of adding them to Alberta the right course of action would be to just add them to Mississippi" that might not be what you are saying, I understand it now but it sounds like that

[lone forge]

Common for snowshoe could be white

Rares like brown (there summer coat) and molting would be nice

[woven grotto]

Yeah, someone said that there are a limited amount of musk ox and I said it will probaly be like snow leopards on Nepal

[carmine mason]

“Why didn’t we get polar bears on this map”

[lone forge]

Doubt it

[meager crater]

Gadwall could also be a good species for the new map, wouldn’t be brand new but relatively new

[lone forge]

On this map they would suck, they could've just made a map in the Arctic tho...

[pseudo idol]

How many birds are gonna be on it?

[woven grotto]

Yeah, sorry if I made it sound misunderstanding Ive never been good at grammar

[lone forge]

I'd rather see other reuses but it would be okay

[woven grotto]

Same thing with harlequins even though they aren’t new

[marble quartz]

How long have you guys been playing the game for

[plucky forge]

year

[urban void]

I call it beaver massace rhymes with grug

[pseudo idol]

Like 2 years

[meager crater]

I’d really love them to maybe sometime after this update as a smaller update do a revamped waterfowl update, I don’t think it’s crazy for all of the maps to have a wide selection of waterfowl

[woven grotto]

I first got the game during the Christmas of 2022 or 2021 could’ve been during 2020 I forgot

[urban void]

When ever Emerald coast came out

[meager crater]

Backfill a bunch of maps and maybe add pintail and canvasbacks with some new semi auto shotguns

[shy onyx]

Since release

[woven grotto]

I’m pretty sure it was 2021 because I rember the newest map being Mississippi

[marble quartz]

I play the game on game pass and then buy the game on my birthday

[dusk drift]

[minor shadow]

Hoping for a Cougar Remodel and Rework!!!

[pseudo idol]

Do we know how many birds will be on the new map

[woven grotto]

When do you guys think hunter will be cross platform, or if they ever will

[woven grotto]

At least two or three

[pseudo idol]

It won’t be

They’d have to make a new game for that

[vivid cosmos]

They've said never sadly

[woven grotto]

[pseudo idol]

Maybe in Cotw2 😂

[woven grotto]

Already have that🤣

[vivid cosmos]

Since a month before parques release

[woven grotto]

Hunter classic is one and hunter call of the wild is two

[vivid cosmos]

You are kind of right, the Hunter COTW is using the hunter Classic as a blueprint

[marble quartz]

@vivid cosmos dam so are a og of this game then

[vivid cosmos]

I'm still very bad lol

[urban void]

Wdym? lol

[woven grotto]

I’ve always been bad

[marble quartz]

@vivid cosmos was there any funny part of playing with game

[vivid cosmos]

Funny? Plenty, when cuatro colinas launched there where some weird spikes that could launch you in the air and people started trying to kill animals while flying

[minor shadow]

Here’s what I think are the Yet to be Revealed Animals!

1: Cougar/Puma/Mountain Lion: Remodel and Rework and Gets Tiger/Snow Leopard Treatment= Low Population
2: Grizzly Bear Remodel
3: Coyote Massive Remodel and Rework
4: Pronghorn
5: Mountain Goat
6: Canadian Lynx ⭐️
7: Snowshoe Hare ⭐️

[urban void]

Canadian lynx, isn’t Eurasian Lynx the same?

[woven grotto]

No Canadian lynx is in Canada and Eurasian lynx is in Europe in Asia with slight differences

[urban void]

What are the differences?

[woven grotto]

Hold up I’ll look them up

[lean mist]

Canadian lynx is Lynx canadensis and eurasian is Lynx lynx, the latter is way bigger and has a different coat

[marble quartz]

@vivid cosmos the funny thing happened to me I was Hunt in savanna and a springbok jumped out and launch me off the 4 wheeler

[lean mist]

eurasian, iberian, canadian and bobcat

[woven grotto]

Canadian is smaller

[woven grotto]

And a few different types of fur patterns

[marble quartz]

Lynx are the same if they are big or small

[lean mist]

lynx and bobcat remodel when

[lone forge]

#1326876687740305481

[marble quartz]

Iberian wolf need to be in the new map

[lean mist]

Its in Canada tho

Lol

[woven grotto]

That’s impossible

[lean mist]

Kinda regret having endangered species now lol

[marble quartz]

How is it impossible

[lean mist]

Iberian means spain/portugal

Alberta is in canada

[woven grotto]

Iberia is the Iberian peninsula is Portugal and Spain

[woven grotto]

In*

[lean mist]

We will have gray wolves tho

[woven grotto]

What do you guys think the new g1 will be?

[stark storm]

Def mulies

Highly doubt its a predator of any kind

[marble quartz]

Could we get squared

[weak smelt]

Dawg what

[weak smelt]

Elk

[marble quartz]

Mule deer

[last schooner]

I want to see an elk g1 but it's definitely gonna be mule deer especially since the new map has a new species of exclusive elk

[lean mist]

Kinda wish great ones could be just a nontyp

But then it might become kinda boring for grinders

[weak smelt]

Dude just watch the trailer

[carmine mason]

Late 2020 when I got my pc

[marble quartz]

Still people are still asking for it

[lone forge]

Wouldn't say def

[lean mist]

Most likely

[humble tinsel]

The elk would be best imo

[weak smelt]

Asking for what..

[lone forge]

Summer 2020 when srp released

Been 5 years now and 2568 hours ingame as of rn

[marble quartz]

For a mule deer g1

[stark storm]

Highly likely then

[verbal peak]

Could be elk, beavers or a species not revealed to us yet

[stark storm]

I have trouble thinking of better options on the map

[verbal peak]

We just won’t know until next week

[night frost]

I used to play the game alot vetran player since day one but this map does look good I'll probs play it for one day then go again since great ones have been a thing I have been drawn away from the game keep see videos of people grinding for great ones and it kind of makes it like an arcade feel rather than actual hunting before the great ones were a thing.

[weak smelt]

you really should have said that then

[marble quartz]

I really think so

[verbal peak]

Calm down mate it doesn’t matter

[lean mist]

Can we make a petition to restore the early gameplay before grinders, even if as a different gamemode

[night frost]

Since the grinders it don't feel like a hunting game any more I moved to way of the hunter more realistic and feels like hunting rather than running and gunning lol

[lean mist]

only thing that keeps me from enjoying WOTH more is the fact they dont have dynamic tracking

[marble quartz]

@weak smelt want to make a bet

[weak smelt]

that really doesn't make sense but alright

[lean mist]

like you cant just pick a track and follow it to find the animal, you will only find the needzone

[mighty dove]

You can play the game normally

[weak smelt]

the grinders can just.. not affect you lol

[mighty dove]

Whatever "normally" is for you

[weak smelt]

yeah

[vivid cosmos]

I used to have the same issue and what I did was started playing like a bit of an RP I won't use fast travel, I won't hunt drink zones and I won't change time unless night to day, it feel realistic again and I never grind

[weak smelt]

what is it

[night frost]

I know you can but it just puts you of seeing all the grinders they make it look like an arcade game lol

[mighty dove]

Because it kind of is

[lean mist]

doesnt feel as good as the other games, to which you can say "go play the other games then" but that affects their income, they should try to please both playerbases

[marble quartz]

If the great one is a mule deer you would have apologize to me

[lean mist]

idk man

[weak smelt]

they do

[lean mist]

do they

[weak smelt]

what for lol

[mighty dove]

How do they not?

[night frost]

Correct they should add a real hunt mode cause at the moment the game is ruined because of the grinders

[weak smelt]

It's not

[mighty dove]

You can turn off tracks and not hunt zones

[night frost]

How have you not been put of seeing people grind after grind lol

[verbal peak]

There’s nothing telling you to grind?

[stark storm]

If you let grinding ruin the game for you I don’t think that’s the fault of people who enjoy grinding

[marble quartz]

Are you really should have said that then

[lean mist]

Have you played classic? Not having needzones allows more natural encounters and you can find animals anywhere on the map

[mighty dove]

Then don't hunt them

Besides that is Classic, not this game

[lean mist]

Should they completely ignore a part of the hunting game community tho

[marble quartz]

@weak smelt Are you really should have said that then

[night frost]

When you hunt properly and actually find an awsome trophy that feeling is amazing but when u are grinding it's not actually earned lol

[lean mist]

You theoretically can ignore needzones but the game kinda sucks if you do that

[vivid cosmos]

But it does, the worst part of the game is the medal system TBH I think that Golds are not as uncommon as they should be, so they are seen as trash tier instead of decent trophies, if we saw mostly bronze and silver animals and we got 1/100 gold they would be trophies and diamonds would be super trophies and GOs would be a myth as they should be

[mighty dove]

They are not going to completely redo their game because a portion dislikes the zone feature. It's been a thing for years, long before grinding became popular

[lean mist]

Could use a little rework tho

[meager crater]

I think a lot of people just wish grinding wasn’t the only way to get the best trophies in the game, any given session on classic I can find a giant non typ and just be blown away out of nowhere

[oblique plinth]

idk why people think grinding trophies aren't earned. people still put in a lot of time and effort for them

[lean mist]

Also im not sure what changed, but back in like 2020 zones were a bit more natural

[lone forge]

Hun, nothing changed, people just discovered optimal ways to kill ungodly amounts of animals, you don't have to do that it does not affect you in any way

[mighty dove]

Zones can definitely be reworked, but are not going to be completely removed

[marble quartz]

@oblique plinth yes exactly

[vivid cosmos]

We just need a bit more randomness

[sullen karma]

Or don’t hunt drink zones that’s what I do with tigers?

[mighty dove]

I am fine with that

[oblique plinth]

i would also like a little more randomness tbh. i like to grind but sometimes i also run around

[vivid cosmos]

Like maybe this herd won't drink today or they will feed elsewhere

[meager crater]

If you want realism this might not be the game for you but that’s why they have classic
I think both are great games just in there own ways

[lone forge]

There are also (not enough tho) non drink zone animals like mountain goat, chamois, jackal, birds and springbok

[sullen karma]

Go play way of the hunter then

[lone forge]

Of WOTH

[night frost]

Well if you are like me and played since day one yeh it does affect me as it just puts u of the game all together which is a shame cause I have every dlc for the game since great ones have been a thing I have one that's a black bear

[meager crater]

If they just had Cotw I think there could be more of an argument to move outside of this company’s games

[lone forge]

Sounds like a you problem

[meager crater]

Well true but I was kinda more so arguing for this company and not for other companies games

[marble quartz]

People have their own way to play the game

[meager crater]

Woth is still a way different game then classic or cotw, there’s something in the space of hunting games for everyone

[vivid cosmos]

No, I do play it and the animals feel smarter and more realistic but COTW could do it as well, the AI Systems are super different and it would give cotw more of a thrill

[night frost]

The game will die in the end why make an awsome hunting with awsome trophy's then let people turn it into a arcade run and gun lol

[meager crater]

Some people just need to learn to let go of a certain game to go find the one that fits them best, I play all 3 depending on my mood that day

[sullen karma]

I think reworking the entire game like some want would make a lot of ppl mad which would prob be a majority of the player base

[oblique plinth]

if you shoot animals randomly, then you will get a great one randomly, and tend to get less. if you grind, you put all of your time into hunting for a great one specifically, and you'll get more. it's just a different use of your time

[marble quartz]

Hey let people play their own way and you play your own way

[lone forge]

Exactly

[night frost]

True mate it funny seeing the animals drink sand when they are no where near the water

[lean mist]

something they could do is make animals move more, either by making need zones larger areas that the animals would randomly roam around in OR have multiple needzones like in WOTH, having them only be active for like 2 hours so you could find animals randomly around the map

[meager crater]

Or be like me and grind 2500 WT only to stop and get a GO randomly right after 😂

[marble quartz]

Dude it's not that dam hard

[vivid cosmos]

I literally said add some randomness to animal routines

[brisk mauve]

Any more animals

At all

[mighty dove]

Now you're being negative just because you are not getting your way. Go play whatever game will make you happy and stop making people here feel bad for how they play

[oblique plinth]

i got my whitetail GO in 300 kills. I wasn't even really done setting up yet. now that i'm actually trying for one i can't find one

[sullen karma]

That would still make a lot of grinders mad (I’m not one I just like running around and shooting stuff)

[oblique plinth]

the deer know. you have to play hard to get with them lol

[wet bough]

Nice pfp I have that as my background

[crystal forum]

Why don’t they add new achievements

[marble quartz]

@mighty dove exactly

[meager crater]

I understood them being super hard to find at first, I wish maybe they would tweak them a bit to be a bit easier now that they’ve been around so long

[mighty dove]

Probably not a priority

[meager crater]

I think maybe that’s the answer to toning down the arcade grinding style of play

[night frost]

I'm not just putting a fact out that people know is happening lol

[oblique plinth]

well if they make great ones easier to get, then grinders will get more, and that will just make people who hate grinding even more mad

EW can't win

[marble quartz]

@night frost hey do what made you feel good

[next isle]

Isn’t this chat post to be for talking about the new map. Someone boot the guy crying about how people play the game

[vivid cosmos]

The devs have actually shown that they don't really like grinding they respect it since it's a decent part of the player base but they've been nerfing tents and stands for some updates now, (both of which are foundational for grinding)

[oblique plinth]

also, isn't this game currently more popular than ever? weird to say it's dying

[meager crater]

People enjoy grinding for the thrill of getting the prize at the end, make that prize a bit more attainable and I think it will slack off. Nobody wants to grind just for the sake of grinding

[sullen karma]

Maybe just add a mode with no zones at all to make those ppl Happy

[lean mist]

The problem is that you cant just nerf grinding without making other hunting strategies more viable

[night frost]

Nothing on the game anymore lol

[oblique plinth]

but that would still make GOs feel less 'special' which is the main complaint

[fast hawk]

Did I miss anything

[marble quartz]

@fast hawk no

[vivid cosmos]

Nah because I like that animals have home ranges, if you don't hunt water and you don't change time you get used to seeing some animals in some areas and that's very realistic

[night frost]

All the good cotw youtubers i whatch back when there were no great ones now do the grinding and that's the last nail in the cofin lol

[meager crater]

Well are they really that special when you can kill 1000 animals a day and have a GO or multple in the span of a few days

[lean mist]

Yeah a new game mode would be optimal but the people who should be actively asking for it have already left the game

Callers have been bugged for years but no one uses them so it doesnt get reported

[sullen karma]

Watch dd33 if you don’t want grinding lol

[oblique plinth]

those would be extreme cases. most grinds can go on for months

[meager crater]

I mean I get a notification that scarecrow has another Go on stream it seems like atleast every other day

[night frost]

True it's a better feeling walking out of a bush on a normal hunt bumping into a great one rather than run to tent to tent to tripod lol

[oblique plinth]

yes, scarecrow is an extreme case

[oblique plinth]

that would be your personal opinion

[vivid cosmos]

I use callers and I haven't noticed what's up with them?

[foggy mason]

Probably an unpopular opinion but I hope they let us figure out what the GO is on our own, like they did the black bear.

[lean mist]

Idk what triggers it but sometimes animals completely ignore them

[oblique plinth]

dedicated content creators aren't the same as the average player grinding after work

[meager crater]

Even if people aren’t getting them as often they are definitely seeing them often enough it would be acceptable in my opinion to increase the odds of finding them and nobody really care other than the grinders slacking off on grinding

[vivid cosmos]

Like in real life

[marble quartz]

@night frost stop judging people on what they do on the game

[vivid cosmos]

Oh yeah but they shouldn't lol

[oblique plinth]

but you admit that scarecrow has many GOs frequently already, and he's still going. so is IBUY.

[sullen karma]

I don’t want that version of the game for me personally I don’t play the game enough to get angry about how drink zones and stuff works or doesn’t I just wanna run around and shoot some animals

[lean mist]

Well sure but for a game thats kinda harmful imo, makes bowhunting for example even less appealing

[lean mist]

Sure, i just dont understanding being actively against a change that would make people happy

[meager crater]

Well that’s 2 extremes like you said, they do it for views. Are they gonna get as many viewers if everyone can get a G1 in a few days the way they do? No people will go do it by themselves and it’ll force this “grinding culture” this game as developed to die down

[marble quartz]

It's annoying when people are judging only people

[oblique plinth]

i think if they increased the rates on GOs, it would be like what happened with the pokemon shiny hunting community. people wouldn't be grinding less frequently, they would be grinding more often, with shorter grinds, especially as the game keeps adding new GOs

[wraith gale]

Grinding hurts the game a lot for non grinders. Because grinding is a thing ew has to make great ones and trophies harder which then screws over the non grinding part of the community

[last schooner]

people would just datamine it on day 1 and then boom words out (I know this server doesn't like the topic of datamining)

[sullen karma]

Well I mean I’d imagine that would take away from other content

[wraith gale]

I don’t like grinding but I will do it for certain animals.

[sullen karma]

I don’t have a great one and I’ve played since launch I’ve tried getting one just no luck

[meager crater]

For the people that are obsessed with the prize yes but that’s a small percentage of players, a majority are gonna see they can get a G1 in 300-900 kills (if they made the odds better) and see it’s completely obtainable to get it naturally therefore why would they need to grind

[lean mist]

A new game mode would be the job of scripters, new GOs and maps are made by modellers, animators and level designers

[marble quartz]

@wraith gale hey go ahead and play how to play

[oblique plinth]

but it still wouldn't solve the problem of GOs retaining their rarity. they would just get exponentially more common

[mighty dove]

A new game mode is a lot of work

[meager crater]

I can remember a time when seeing a level 3 whitetail naturally was the best high ever in a hunting game, was absolutely amazing and now it’s like eh I have a whole lodge full of those from grinding

[wraith gale]

I honestly think the best thing is to leave the game how it is. I feel it’s in an okay spot for balance between grinding and non grinding

[oblique plinth]

it would also make grinding more feasible for more people. if they think the odds are too imbalanced to bother with now, lowering the odds would make grinding not only the most efficient method, but also more widely attainable

[wraith gale]

I think great ones could be less rare but idk it’s hard

[oblique plinth]

i wish there was another method, i really do. i wish more people could get their GO. but i also think lowering the odds or having a guaranteed GO isn't the solution people think they want

[meager crater]

I think you are missing the point that a very small percentage of the player base wants to grind, and the developers themselves don’t really like it. Take away the thrill and it will go away, people can have there Great Ones naturally the way it should be without having to kill 3000 animals a week

[marble quartz]

I think people don't have to judge offer people on what they want to do in the game

[lean mist]

Tbh it could be done under the same time frame as a new map, specially if they just tweak some of the already existing systems

[oblique plinth]

overwhelmingly the complaint i see is that more people having GOs devalue them for everyone. i'm just saying that making them more common kind of defeats the purpose

[sullen karma]

Okay but then people would get mad and say next gen should come before that so I don’t think they can really win

[lean mist]

Wdym next gen

[sullen karma]

Oh my bad I play on ps5 like updated graphics bc all console players are still on the old graphics like ps4

[meager crater]

But they are only really valuable because they are rare and because of the grind lol you take that away and yes value goes down but it makes the game so much better

[oblique plinth]

but grinding only makes them more common now because you dedicate more time to hunting the same species, that you know will give you a great one if you keep at it

[marble quartz]

Where we supposed to be talking about the new map

[sullen karma]

Great ones are not common lmao I’ve killed 8k fallow stopped and never did that again and 4k tahr and I’m never doing another grind

[oblique plinth]

i agree with you. but that's the complaint i see, that they're too common

i go months while grinding after work without seeing any

[lean mist]

Oh, didnt know they changed graphics for ps5, its still the same on pc at least

[sullen karma]

They are definitely not I just want one great one

[sullen karma]

They haven’t changed them at all that’s why some console ppl want them to change it

[lean mist]

I see

[iron drum]

I think we're slightly off topic in here

[vivid cosmos]

GOs should be the equivalent of criptids

[iron drum]

Then why don't I have any?

[vivid cosmos]

How many criptids you have ? :v

[sullen karma]

Exactly lmao I’m pretty sure they were just saying they were too common

[potent bane]

I think the graphics look great tbh

[red violet]

GOs are luck, that's all. Same with playing the lottery.

[potent bane]

Maybe not when close

But still

[marble quartz]

@sullen karma hey be nice

[sullen karma]

Sry I’m frustrated by the fallow😭

[iron drum]

Well I have a lot of cryptids. So it doesn't track.

[lean mist]

tbf what else would we be talking about

[sullen karma]

They aren’t bad but compared to pc they don’t look good

[oblique plinth]

i'm not saying GOs are too common, i'm saying the complaint is that they are both somehow too hard to get but also too easy to get.

[potent bane]

Aren't they the same? At least on series x

[vivid cosmos]

:v you have a taxidermy Bigfoot, minotaur and a Jackelopr?

[marble quartz]

@sullen karma I don't blame you but try to be nicer

[iron drum]

Only bigfoot and maybe the jackalope would be considered cryptids in that.

[vivid cosmos]

They aren't easy to get grinders force the game mechanics with HM and spamming respawns

[oblique plinth]

"spamming respawns"

[vivid cosmos]

Which apparently is not an exploit and P2W

[mighty dove]

You can not spam respawns anymore

[sullen karma]

They might be for Xbox but for ps5 they are different

[iron drum]

I have a taxidermied Bigfoot, snallyghaster, wampas cat, flat woods monster, and more in my house.

[red violet]

But also, what does all that have to do with the new map

[sullen karma]

I’ve never used hm and that’s why I couldn’t get a fallow

[marble quartz]

@red violet thank you

[oblique plinth]

you can put your hours in and not get a GO or you can put your hours in and not get a GO. either way, you put your time in, you played the game

[potent bane]

I have no clue actually

[vivid cosmos]

Dang I'm so jealous I've been hunting for a Wampas cat for a long time

[mighty dove]

You do not need HM to get a Great One. I have two of them that I got just by tediously running lake to lake

[sullen karma]

It doesn’t matter it doesn’t bother me I just brought it up

[potent bane]

Yeah yeah I get it

[marble quartz]

What is this even about the new map

[potent bane]

Snowwww

[sullen karma]

We love beavers

[iron drum]

Yeah. You need to try harder.

[iron drum]

Antelope

[sullen karma]

Exactly

[lean mist]

Havent we run out of new map topics already tbf

[iron drum]

Nah

[worldly shard]

When is the releas date of the map?

[potent bane]

The amount of messages sent here after the reveal might've covered it all lol

[red violet]

tba

[sullen karma]

Probably the 17th

Always on a Tuesday

[lean mist]

Yeah until we get new info we have already talked about everything

[sharp cedar]

When are we getting the full list of species?

[livid fiber]

When is the map coming out

[potent bane]

[oblique plinth]

best guess is june 17th. but nothing confirmed yet

[sullen karma]

Probably 17th or 24th

[livid fiber]

Thanks

[sullen karma]

All it is guessing😭

[red violet]

Why can't people just read like 2 messages above their own

[vivid cosmos]

Tuesday in 2 weeks

[potent bane]

Or check pins

All info is in pins

[oblique plinth]

2 tuesdays after the announcement trailer is the usual pattern but they could switch up on us any time

i really hope they don't release later in june. i'm moving the 1st of july and i won't have time to go beaver hunting

[sullen karma]

Hey I wouldn’t be complaining if they released in on the 9th

[vivid cosmos]

Anyhow you guys think bighorn will be on those insanely steep cliffs in the new map?

[oblique plinth]

ugh the map releasing on the 9th would be a dream

[weak smelt]

what the hell are you on about

[fervent sundial]

If they are they're never getting hunted

[marble quartz]

@weak smelt never mind I forgot

[weak smelt]

brah😭

[sullen karma]

I think I’m gonna be out of town so the release date isn’t my biggest concern😂

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah they would, you'll shoot them from above and below

[lean mist]

probably not as much as say a mountain goat, but would be nice to have a goat hunting rework

cuatro for example had all that fuzz about ibexes but they suck

[weak smelt]

It would be sad to not have them up there

[vivid cosmos]

Models are rough

[sullen karma]

I hope it has mountain goats that would be awesome

[vivid cosmos]

I hope they look rad

[lean mist]

not only that but they are just reskin deer

[red violet]

rough is....nicely said lol

[oblique plinth]

i think the improvement of the animal models is really helping with building hype on the newer maps

[weak smelt]

It would be a mistake from EW to not have them

[oblique plinth]

i didn't realize how bad some of the older ones were until the improved ones started coming out

the wolves are worse than i remember lol

[lean mist]

well tbf every animal that isnt a tiger, leopard, upland or waterfowl or crocodilian feels like a deer in this game

[vivid cosmos]

So incredibly true

[oblique plinth]

but they're so cute now

[lean mist]

yeah i wouldnt mind the other 7 species in this map being old animals as long as they get a remodel

or at least a portion of these 7

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah they just have different senses

[lean mist]

barely

[fervent sundial]

you'll shoot them from above and below, I'll be shooting only the great one species on day one thennn I'll explore after, I'll be first this time I swear. But I'm also just not messing around with mountains, they aggravate me

[sullen karma]

I think it would too but they are one of my fav animals in the game so I’m not trying to get my hopes up too much

[oblique plinth]

i'm going to hold on to hope for a grizzly remodel until the full 19 are confirmed. those bears are heinous

[vivid cosmos]

Moose actually smell you, and don't hear or see you

[lean mist]

🙏

grizzly remodel and aggression rework

[fervent sundial]

Mountains just make me big sad

[oblique plinth]

grizzlies look like muppets that got beat in the face with a shovel

[vivid cosmos]

Aggravate you? Why? lol

[oblique plinth]

and agreed, i'd love for them to be more aggressive

[sullen karma]

Black bears need that help too

[oblique plinth]

the other maps feel so much less exciting after being hunted by tigers in sundar

[red violet]

I wouldn't even mind an update with just new models. I'm not someone who gets bored and needs a new map every 6 months. But devs gotta eat too.

[sullen karma]

That’s why a lot of people are mad but I’m just happy they are still updating the game

[oblique plinth]

i wish lions would be more of a threat as well

mountain lions too. they stalk people sometimes like the tigers in game do

[vivid cosmos]

I saw some feedback asking for them to be ultra defensive near their feedzones

[oblique plinth]

that would be awesome

[sullen karma]

That would be awesome

[lean mist]

how did people receive snow leopard behavior? id love them to implement that onto cougars and both lynx species

[oblique plinth]

a startled bear or feeding bear should definitely charge more

[sullen karma]

I love snow leopards fav animal in the game

[fervent sundial]

Harder to track on a mountain and I just like grinding more tbf, if you enjoy mountains I hope you have a blast but I personally don't so I won't be

[vivid cosmos]

Most people want to grind them so they complain about spookiness

[lean mist]

yeah, and also bears and crocs should one shot you like tigers do, its silly how they do as much damage as a capercaille

[lean mist]

istg bruhh

[weak smelt]

Grind mountain goats a i dare you

[oblique plinth]

i like to grind and i don't think they're easy to spook honestly. they tend to give me a lot of warning calls

[sullen karma]

I think only one person grinded snow leopards😭

It would be way too hard

[fervent sundial]

I already have a dime and rare so no reason to

[vivid cosmos]

Oh well thanks it looks like the map will have clear open lakes and riverside which is great for grinding

[oblique plinth]

but they do have excellent camouflage. sometimes i can't see one even when it's 40m away from me

[lean mist]

how do you even grind something whose needzone vanishes everytime you kill one?

[oblique plinth]

not a complaint, i think it's cool

they are the ghost of the mountains after all

[weak smelt]

What about both of those combined

[vivid cosmos]

That's why you hate NEM and Hirsh and that same reason is why I like them

Not the goat part

The grinding part

[sullen karma]

Why can’t we just be happy I’m sure they will be parts of the map that are fun for everyone not just grinders there’s still so much of the map we don’t know about

[oblique plinth]

i just like how pretty the water is

so blueeee

[sullen karma]

I know

It’s beautiful

[tidal light]

Agreed

[red violet]

Am I the only one who is more excited about rares than diamonds?

[tidal light]

It looks amazing

[fervent sundial]

Yeah I saw, it's definitely a map that both the hardcorest of grinder and the most hardcore of ambush hunter can enjoy in harmony, and I really like that. Everyone should be able to the hunting game with how they like playing

[lean mist]

i want to stalk cougars in that same kind of forest we saw bison and bighorn in the trailer 🙏

[oblique plinth]

no i'm with you. i want a rare beaver so bad

[sullen karma]

Agreed

[tidal light]

Always liked rares more than diamonds tbh

Agree 100%

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah the map looks good

[sullen karma]

What would a beavers rares be?

I’m excited for beavers

[red violet]

got my first mela whitetail 2 days ago. Had a blast ;D

[oblique plinth]

i hope the mule deer will be getting updated rares as well. they could have better piebalds

[nimble grove]

That outpost by lake looks 👌🏽

[vivid cosmos]

Leu, beeno, mela

[tidal light]

Same

[oblique plinth]

there has to be an albino one for sure

[tidal light]

Yeah

[oblique plinth]

i've seen some pictures of piebald beavers too

[tidal light]

An albino beaver would look amazing

[sullen karma]

An albino in the snow would go crazy

[tidal light]

That's what I was thinking

[fervent sundial]

Yup, they're not easy to grind and both heavily disappointing with lack of species diversity and the outposts kinda suck alot

[tidal light]

Can't wait to hunt beavers

[fervent sundial]

I will eventually, but rn? Probably not

[tidal light]

Want to try get a rare one

[vivid cosmos]

Maybe it's even like an improved parque lodge(not likely but I can dream)

[sullen karma]

I don’t grind much and don’t like either but I love Mississippi If that counts for anything

[oblique plinth]

i'm also dying to get a rare wood bison. i don't have a rare bison yet

[marble quartz]

Want to join the call and talk about the new map

[oblique plinth]

and wood ducks! i wonder what their rares would look like

[fervent sundial]

I live near Mississippi so I'm kinda obligated to like it

[sullen karma]

I do too😂

[nimble grove]

A lodge we can customize trophy sizes vs only certain size wise if that makes sense

[vivid cosmos]

I haven't even thought about those, those will be fkin 🔥

[fervent sundial]

Plus the spot that the Mississippi reserve is based off of is only like 30-40 minutes from my crib lol

[vivid cosmos]

Snow bison coming

[nimble grove]

Albino bison will look good or mela

[oblique plinth]

silver wood duck maybe?

[nimble grove]

While in a snowy area 👌🏽

[sullen karma]

Haha that would be awesome to hunt irl

[vivid cosmos]

Melas often have that vanta black effect, not that cool

[tidal light]

All the albinos will look amazing in the snowy area

[nimble grove]

That would look awesome

[sullen karma]

Yes

[sullen karma]

Do yall think the snow will stick to animals backs or that was a new fur type?

[red violet]

they have snow on their back

[fervent sundial]

I dunno why but I thought the bird was smoking a cigarette at first, I need to get my coffee lol

[vivid cosmos]

It will stick while snowing

[tidal light]

Need one of em

[nimble grove]

Let’s get a vote for new lodge 🙋🏼‍♂️

[sullen karma]

Wolves and bear in trailer

[vivid cosmos]

It will disappear once the snowing stops

[tidal light]

Yes

[vivid cosmos]

And bighorn and mule deer/blacktail

[red violet]

yes. I know, they have snow on their backs. It's not variants. You can also see it on the mule and elk

[nimble grove]

Wolf going after a moose on XL trophy mount 👌🏽

[sullen karma]

I was just curious thanks

[lean mist]

elk too apparently

[fervent sundial]

If animals have dynamic weather I'd buy the map faster then my credit card number could go onto my PlayStation

[lean mist]

wdym

[sullen karma]

Do yall think they will add it to other maps?

[lean mist]

probably

[nimble grove]

I hope so because that would be cool on Layton lake

[oblique plinth]

wow there are all kinds of morphs for them

never knew

[sullen karma]

Imagine yak with snow on their back

[tidal light]

Wow

[fervent sundial]

For example, if it starts snowing on a bear, the snow stays on their backs

[lean mist]

isnt it confirmed atp

[vivid cosmos]

Nah honestly they fear messing the other maps up(fair) and they won't add something so complicated

[fervent sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-i-need-it-i-don’t-need-it-i-definitely-don’t-need-it-thirsty-gif-17101453146721253330

[sullen karma]

I mean we can’t rly blame them imagine the chaos that would ensue

[vivid cosmos]

It could be added to other maps with snow

[lean mist]

imagine having that on any animal you bring into snow, like making a tiger follow you all the way up to the mountains in sundarpatan and they get snow on their backs then

[vivid cosmos]

It has happened before and the lash out was just brutal

[sullen karma]

That would be such a cool picture

[sullen karma]

When I don’t remember that?

[vivid cosmos]

When they made some changes to the lodges and trophies changed skin colors

[tidal light]

Oh yeah

[fervent sundial]

Lodge changes that ruined multiple URs

[vivid cosmos]

And the only legit Ultra Rare ever harvested became a normal GO

[tidal light]

It made loads of normal animals rares and other way around

[fervent sundial]

As in, the only legit Albino UR- yeah what he said

[lean mist]

would shooting an animal with snow on their back mean it would keep the snow in the trophy lodge? that would be quite cool

[tidal light]

Probably not

[fervent sundial]

There's about 10 Pie URs, but there was only one albino ever, and that update ruined it

[vivid cosmos]

I think they won't even keep the snow in the harvest screen

[tidal light]

It would be cool though

[sullen karma]

Yea I think that was when great one whitetail would turn other fur types or something

[tidal light]

Yep

[sullen karma]

It might we have no idea tbh

[spiral hill]

Any news today yet?

[tidal light]

Might

Probably not

[vivid cosmos]

I doubt them I've only seen the receipts from the albino one

[vivid cosmos]

Fair

[sullen karma]

Nah we’re probably done with news until next week they’ve given us a lot more than usual because of no streams

[vivid cosmos]

We had a ton of hacked Fabled piebald Ultra Rares

[fervent sundial]

You can ask about anyone in G1 grinding channel, the most recent legit one was December I think? But everyone agrees about 10 legit pies out there

[fervent sundial]

Unfortunately yeah

[vivid cosmos]

There was one legit that started selling his file

[sullen karma]

I hate hackers in this game so much I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that

[fervent sundial]

Just don't play multiplayer and you won't encounter them

[wet bough]

Imo hacking is fine do what you want but don't bring it into multiplayer and don't act like it's legit

[sullen karma]

Well I play on console so I never have to but seeing videos of people think they got some crazy rare and uts on a modded server annoys me

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah, Don't bring it to the discord and act all smug

[tidal light]

Happened to me loads 😭

When I first went on emerald coast I joined a modded server thought I got a leucistic croc but it was modded 😭

[sullen karma]

That’s so annoying

[fervent sundial]

Imo I think hackers that add anything more then accessibility features should have their PCs smashed. It never stops at "I'll just add this" with hackers, most of em are smug and want gratification for something they didn't do

[tidal light]

Yeah

[vivid cosmos]

KillClynton has a SR albino Cape Buff that he claims it's real but it was clearly on a hacked server

[sullen karma]

Yea I remember that

[vivid cosmos]

Not his fault but he parades it as if it's the perfect trophy

When very clearly it's just a hacked buff

[wet bough]

Not to mention the alligator that was max score max weight off a random multi that he just happened to see the 4 pixels of white in its chin when it poked it head out of the water for .04 seconds

[sullen karma]

Multiplayer in general is messed up you get kicked for just being level 60😭

[uneven bloom]

'tis why I reccomend new players on PC to never touch multi ever

it's just not worth it

[tidal light]

Agree

[fervent sundial]

Hard agree

[red violet]

I wish they would give us snow themed taxidermy bases.

[vivid cosmos]

I check the models in multiplayer, like a photographic safari

[tidal light]

Good idea

[sullen karma]

I hope they give us a sundarpatan themed lodge because it would have snow and jungle plaques I’d imagine

[vivid cosmos]

We really need wall bases

[fervent sundial]

Actually a great idea, I'd love to be able to switch the templates for my stands and have them match a certain environment

[red violet]

WOTH has some nice wall bases

[tidal light]

Yeah

[vivid cosmos]

I never even thought about that, I'd love that

[tidal light]

That's what I was thinking

[oblique plinth]

i know they keep saying there isn't a lot of interest in trophy lodges but i think that's only because they're kinda lackluster rn

[sullen karma]

Yea it would be cool and they acknowledged we want a new lodge

[red violet]

It's sure time for a new lodge lol

[oblique plinth]

being able to pick different bases would be nice

and more multi-mounts

or just different plaques for the walls

something

they just need a little love

[mighty dove]

Hunting Lodge Pack

[oblique plinth]

like obviously it would be a huge undertaking but they can only get better

especially with the amount of talent on the team these days

[mighty dove]

I want a Yukon themed hunting cabin

[oblique plinth]

snow cabin is one of my biggest wants

i was hoping for one for canada but alas

[red violet]

Saseka Safari Lodge has a nice layout, but I'm not big into the africa theme. Spring Creek Manor I love the theme, but it's so big that I get lost in there xD

[mighty dove]

Snow outside, fireplace, lots of different sized mounts

[oblique plinth]

i'd like a lodge with a trophy garden of sorts

[shrewd radish]

New snowy map let’s GOOOOO

[oblique plinth]

like a bunch of hedges and foliage but random mounts dispersed throughout

i think that would make for really cool lodge tours

[fervent sundial]

Bros reading last week's newspaper today

Nah Im playing

[shrewd radish]

I’ve not been playing a lot of steam games recently

But lowkey excited

[tidal light]

I haven't played hunter in a few months

So hopefully gonna be a good update

[fervent sundial]

I'm playing currently

[shrewd radish]

I think last time I played was when the High Caliber pack came out

[vivid cosmos]

They should make a customizable trophy lodge where you can change the decor and outside to any map you want(I would pay as a full map for that tbf) and have more dynamic trophy placing

I started playing with friends and it rekindled my love for the game, now with the Bighorn I'll never leave

[pallid fog]

My main want for a new lodge is a bird room and a deer room where I can mount all my PR

[wet bough]

What y'all think of this species list

[lean mist]

Bear in the trailer is a black bear, hope they still add grizzly tho

Id like to keep mountain goat without drinkzones

Caribou are protected in the area so unlikely

Canada lynx would need a new model, its completely different from eurasian lynx

Otherwise its a good list

[fervent sundial]

this map will have 4 great one species you can grind for

Moose bb WT and new one

Fwt

[winged sluice]

I’m assuming caribou’s coming since it was in the polls, and they haven’t let me down so far

Nothing guaranteed tho

[vivid cosmos]

Same as NEM

[fervent sundial]

Yeah except this map will be grindable

Nem makes me wanna put my hands in a grinder

[stoic echo]

nem has 5

[weak smelt]

i mean technically NEM is the best map for HM whitetails

since it has the largest population

[vivid cosmos]

NEM has pheasant?

[weak smelt]

yeah

and fox

[fervent sundial]

Sure, if you wanna waste 200 hours of your time going through 170+ zones getting them to end hm

[jade thicket]

revontuli coast or layton tbh for whitetail

[stoic echo]

whats whitehart?

[jade thicket]

rancho del arroyo was the best prior the change that was top tier

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah Whitehart island ftw

[weak smelt]

oh hush

[vivid cosmos]

Rancho has weird lakes

[jade thicket]

but was king before being changed

it was amazing

[warm basin]

Rancho was murdered by the devs 😔

[lean mist]

What happened to rancho?

[fervent sundial]

Someone's been on TH:C

[warm basin]

Went from a top 3 map to a bottom 3 map 😭

[vivid cosmos]

The original map in TheHunter Classic

[jade thicket]

still decent just they go in some not nice spots now

[true pebble]

Hope the reworked wolves have a timber Wolf fur variation

[vivid cosmos]

It will go up for me cause Bighorn
