[tawdry juniper]

anybody have pics of the new roes?? cant find em Dx

[sharp pike]

Like turkeys?

[midnight valve]

There ya go

[midnight valve]

Yup

[hexed dust]

Wow silent?!?! 👍

[agile cradle]

i was expecting it and still got a little fright when it happened😂

[limber cliff]

I make that same sound at my cat when he's misbehaving

[midnight valve]

It louder in real life like the video of the red that we shot last night sounds different but it's still quiet

[tawdry juniper]

very american thing to fire silenced rounds into the ceiling when your cat jumps up on the counter

[midnight valve]

Like I shot a buck Monday and the doe and fawn bolted and started grazing again.

It's like oh shid then ehh we gucci

It's the reaction of the deer that scare them more after the bang

[agile cradle]

man some of these guided hunt packages are pretty damn expensive how do you find the ones that arent for american tourists with money to burn

[compact cypress]

i am hoping the clothing will be the Scottish Ghilli and not a flipin Kilt

[midnight valve]

Stalking directory has more listed that aren't mental

[tawdry juniper]

"oh nooo there goes brent!! anyway.."

[midnight valve]

Theres an entire section dedicated too it

[hexed dust]

Silencer make's all the difference, almost same level of sound as a bow almost.

[agile cradle]

said i'd check it out then completely forgot you told me about it🤦‍♂️

scrolling through the listings and im like "why on earth are they advertising stalks for deer with Chronic wasting disease?"...

its chinese water deer

[tawdry juniper]

hahahaha

[limber cliff]

honestly hate that they share the acronym

[tawdry juniper]

if they abbreviated it like that i'd be confused too

[midnight valve]

Not at all, but it does help.

[limber cliff]

they do 😭

[tawdry juniper]

that's so bad

[agile cradle]

the lack of commas is what got me

[tawdry juniper]

i cant even read "african wild dog" without going "yo no way they just dropped ACUTE wasting disease"

[agile cradle]

legit jus looks like they're saying "come hunt these prion infected deer we have"

[tawdry juniper]

hell yea bud fire up the grill 🧬👅🧬

misfolded proteins you say..? how many grams?

[jovial jolt]

5

[lunar ingot]

the name of this website feels highly illegal

[tawdry juniper]

The logo is doing a lot of heavy lifting

[agile cradle]

i want 6 ounces of your best sirpriloin

[lunar ingot]

my fave of them all is ‘roe does somerset’… what did the roe do to somerset?

close second is probably ‘27th or 28th for fallow or chinese’… so we can either hunt some fallow deer or have a succulent chinese meal? 🤨

[agile cradle]

new folklore fact file jus dropped

[lunar ingot]

can i say something…

i lowk think overheads are overrated 💔

theyre cool n all

but id much prefer a well worked counterattack with a beautiful goal at the end than probably any bicycle ever

was a good goal yesterday tho i cant knock it

[viscid jolt]

I want grimalkin in Scotland as a mission

Just chuck a mela female Eurasian lynx in there

Like they did w that moose in the awaroa

[lunar ingot]

EW got in touch with me n said theyd only add it if yesterdays writing was completed

[viscid jolt]

It was

Do your school work and ew will grant you 3 wishes

Btw guys

[lunar ingot]

u know what that means 🤭

grim help me write this essay about a castaway by augusta webster its due friday

[viscid jolt]

Bollocks I forgot my binoculars

I don’t have anything in my inventory what am I DOING

[lunar ingot]

i was about to ask what were out looking for today i thought u meant irl

question still stands

[viscid jolt]

Too cold outside ! No way

I’m setting up more feeders

[lunar ingot]

ITS SO COLD TODAY

i also have tonsillitis woke up st 6am for class and died coughing in pain so im in bed writing a damn essay. later will be filled with my hunting dreams tho

also im still debating feeders, stoney told me theres a bug with them causing ur game to save loads on ps so im hesitant. once thats fixed should i get them or not like what really are the plus sides?

[sterile pendant]

I was hoping we'd get a shadow drop of CotW on Switch2 with this map release. I would have gladly bought the game a 3rd time to have it fully handheld.

[mild furnace]

I doubt even the switch 2 can run it

[sterile pendant]

K obvious you've never actually played a Switch2. The DLSS is pretty amazing & many games look better than a Steam Deck

[mild furnace]

I have a switch 2 lol

[sterile pendant]

Take a look at Star Wars Outlaws Steam Deck vs Switch 2

[mild furnace]

The hardware isnt as good as it seems,most games are dumbed down to be able to run. Also the licensing to get it on there would be insane

By dumbed down i mean lower render and smaller loaded areas for example

[sterile pendant]

Cotw runs fine on a base PS4, it could run on a Switch 2

[lunar ingot]

the ps4 can also run games like rdr2 and many other games with a stable and decently high fps.

i highly doubt a switch 2 could run rdr2 without dying 30 minutes in

like idk i think the switch 2 is very overrated with how well it can do considering its just an upgraded switch which is still weaker than any other current gen console

[sterile pendant]

It's already been leaked by industry insider NatetheHate (who has accurately leaked many releases) that a RDR2 port is in production for Switch2

And I'm just asking for a handheld port. I already own Cotw and all dlc on PS4/PS5 & PC for more than half a decade.

[lament helm]

Hello Yule of Yule

[lunar ingot]

hello Ash 👑82DK 🛡️

[lament helm]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[lunar ingot]

wait why did i get ur name fully accurste

u got mine wrong

[lament helm]

Too late

[lunar ingot]

its okay, its because i care for you and respect you

[lament helm]

I care for and respect all players like you as well

[lunar ingot]

why thank you Ash 👑82DK 🛡️ 🥲

are u excited for scotland

[lament helm]

Yes, especially badgers

[agile cradle]

it was a 3 minute strong attack with no other way to get on the ball without losing a scoring opportunity when it gets on ground... it was just as good as any counter attack could be

[lunar ingot]

lowk same they look so adorable!!!

[agile cradle]

there was no power on the cross and a lot of height, it took him more effort than a counterattacked goal would

[lunar ingot]

i understand i just think theyre overly flashy and boring 💔

[lament helm]

I do want to know what the new GO is

[agile cradle]

yeah well that wasn't boring

[blazing kraken]

Will there be a new specimen display room in this update?

[lunar ingot]

let me think it was 💔

[lunar ingot]

same like wth is it please tell us

lets get vivi to leak that

[agile cradle]

boiling down the best tactical decision in that moment to "it was boring" is just odd

i just watched 27 years of heartache fade away last night

[lament helm]

Idk I don’t think Vivi will

[lunar ingot]

i think she will personally

were pretty close

i can tell

[lament helm]

Can you see if she can convince EW to give the mod team a raise then? (Joking)

[lunar ingot]

on it

@ vivi

yea i aint no fool

[viscid jolt]

7 G1s an hour just isn’t doing it for me…

[agile cradle]

when africa 2

[viscid jolt]

EVERYTIME someone asks abt Africa 2 I phone up mr cotw and ask him to delay it by exactly one month

Current ETA is 2086

[lunar ingot]

guys i want africa 2

messing

when is great britain 2 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[viscid jolt]

dear god not another one

[urban isle]

We got Scotland so when are we getting south Scotland?

[lunar ingot]

new england name just dropped

[mighty dove]

Good morning o/

[mighty dove]

North, South, East, and West. We have to be inclusive

[lunar ingot]

not the east

if its anything like the east midlands it should be cut off entirely

[outer geyser]

I really wanna see the last 3 new animals

1: Pine Marten/Stoat (only 2 options)

2: Red grouse (or a game bird)

3: Woodcock or a new ducky

One thing that bugs me

Why have so much coast line as seen in the picture and not a coast line animal?

Maybe a sea bird? Barnacle goose? Seal?

[rigid river]

IDK, feels bad coming from an 82DK player 😉

The Blueberry Menance

[lament helm]

Now now, we don’t need to bring caovian politics in here, even if the colonials are wrong.

[lunar ingot]

hi! im english!

we did a lot of things wrong

[lament helm]

We’re not talking about those colonials

It’s in reference to a game

Where I am of the opposite faction known as the wardens.

[viscid jolt]

historically we have been very poorly behaved

[jaunty drum]

Is it just me or does anyone else hope the shotgun is a not-a-Auto 5?

[lunar ingot]

i would sit us on the naughty step forever if we were held accountable for our ancestors sins

[quiet mantle]

They re

Theyr managed herds

European bison

[frank skiff]

put us in the timeout corner 😭

[jade thicket]

we may find out this week next week id say 100 percent

[frank skiff]

my prediction was the wild boar cuz they’re also getting a new model

[agile cradle]

just like that handball n geoff hursts ghost goal that never crossed the line in the 1966 world cup... wasnt even born and i still hold the grudge

[frank skiff]

my predictions…

New Species:

• Badger
• Mink
• Highland Cow
• Red Squirrel
• Harbour Seal

Returning Species:

• Red Deer
• Roe Deer
• Feral Goat
• Wild Boar (new great one)
• European Rabbit
• Sika Deer
• Mallard
• Pheasant
• Red Fox
• Muntjac
• Mountain Hare

[mighty dove]

I don't think we will get the Highland Cow

[frank skiff]

the only reason i think it’s there is because it looks like one in the trailer. let me find a screenshot rq

i doubt it is a highland cow cuz they’re domesticated but

oh i can’t even add photos… go to 0:10 and zoom in next to the red deer

[split agate]

No one goes to Scotland to shoot livestock as sport

[agile cradle]

the highland cow is not wild and that was definitely a feral goat

i said earlier aswell

only about 25-40 wild cows exist in scotland

any other nature roaming cattle are still owned cattle here

[split agate]

Seals and red squirrels are also both highly protected species in the UK. For seals, see https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1970/30

[agile cradle]

i mean so is the badger

its heavily protected and we got that

they don't care too much about protected status

[split agate]

you're right of course. I meant cows. No one goes cow hunting in the UK

[agile cradle]

though i think red squirrels is a stretch, given how small they are

[old goblet]

What the point of having squirrels as trophy animals?

[agile cradle]

could ask the same of any animal?

people want trophies of what they like

squirrels are cool

i've seen plenty table mount squirrels irl

[agile cradle]

yeah, i think they're pretty much protected even if they're feral too

[jade wyvern]

A seal would be insane lol

[agile cradle]

im not sure as theres so little wild cattle theres not much info on it

i would very much like to see the seals

we have harbor and grey seals

[elder saffron]

neither highland cattle nor seals are hunted in scotland

[marble quartz]

Guys do you we get a tease tonight

[elder saffron]

if we get zo hunt seals it will be on an Inuit map

[agile cradle]

neither are badgers yet they're added

in Scotland there are no culling events either

so badgers are added, seals arent that much of a stretch

[marble quartz]

What about squirrels huh what if the hint is that we are getting red squirrels in the game

[viscid jolt]

I see no way they’d add red squirrels when grey squirrels would be a viable option

Invasive , major pests , everyone would wanna pop em with a 300.

[marble quartz]

Add them both maybe

[glad jackal]

we all would prefer reindeer right

[marble quartz]

Reindeer are not in Scotland are they

[agile cradle]

only 150 are in cairngorms and no none of us would prefer to see a deer thats barely in this country

[marble quartz]

I don't think anyone asked this but are we getting new g1 Red deer fars

[jade wyvern]

Hope we get more pics today of it

[glad jackal]

Calm down

[marble quartz]

I hope we find out more animals in our new map

[agile cradle]

i am calm?

just a bit silly to suggest a deer that isn't in this country on any major scale

[marble quartz]

@agile cradle man I am so glad it's Scotland

[agile cradle]

same

wish there was a pre order option tbh

[kindred swallow]

has anything being said about wildcats being on the map?

[marble quartz]

@agile cradle what do you play on

@kindred swallow nothing yet

[kindred swallow]

ok good ty

I'm hoping.. not

[agile cradle]

i hope they do add it

[glacial oasis]

i hope pinnipeds never get added because theres literally like no thrill

they're just sacks of blubber than dip into the water the moment they sense danger

at least crocodiles actually charge you

[agile cradle]

they'd look cool in lodges

thats my reasoning for animals being added

[kindred swallow]

on another European map yeah, but our cats are so precious and far between

[marble quartz]

What if they tesse the G1 today

[glacial oasis]

walruses yeah

i can see walruses

[jade thicket]

could be im sure if not today we will get something teased on friday

[agile cradle]

idk if you know this, but they'd still exist even if we shot em in game😆

[glacial oasis]

we're getting a new great one?

[jade wyvern]

Yes

[glacial oasis]

really?

thats cool

hope its the boar

[heady cosmos]

Tbh reindeer itself should get a remaster since caribou got it

[marble quartz]

@jade thicket I hope today we get the animals list so I can get started working on my list of animals

[kindred swallow]

lol I know I'm not stupid and I know that I'm completely biased by how much I love them.

[agile cradle]

i love em too, still want to drill .375 through them for funsies

[jade thicket]

doubt you will get that this early

it generally builds

[glacial oasis]

cats?

like wild cats?

[agile cradle]

if not wildcats we might get Kellas Cats

[agile cradle]

yes

[glacial oasis]

domestic-looking cats are something i dont think is ever gonna happen

[agile cradle]

i'd love to see them in game as trophies too

[marble quartz]

@jade thicket yeah that's true

[glacial oasis]

people are gonna lose their minds

id be indifferent towards them but my god

the people that eradicate feral cats in australia already get death threats

[agile cradle]

people are such softies

its pixels

[static harness]

Do we have a list of animals?

[heady cosmos]

So new G1 is a wild boar? This will be so cool

[agile cradle]

so far red deer, feral goat, badger and mink

[glacial oasis]

we dont know yet

[jade thicket]

no one knows yet

[tired wolf]

Only partially for the moment

[marble quartz]

@glacial oasis it's Scotland Man of course people are loseing there minds

[glacial oasis]

fym

people would lose their minds over shooting cats that look like domestic cats

wild cats, kellas cats etc

[marble quartz]

We been waiting for this map

[glacial oasis]

im not talking about the map

[static harness]

G1 roe deer thoughts?

[glacial oasis]

please no

😭

[tired wolf]

I mean so far know:
red deer
American Mink
European/Eurasian Badger
Feral Goat
Possibly Eurasian Otters too

[jade thicket]

no otters in scotland

confirmed yesterday

[marble quartz]

I am sorry but I think it's the European hair

[tired wolf]

For the map?

[tired wolf]

That one in the water?
Is like how Ron said

[jade thicket]

thats a mink

[tired wolf]

I checked the size of American Mink and they are super tiny

[marble quartz]

That or maybe we get our wish and it's the lion

[glacial oasis]

fym lion

[glacial oasis]

not that tiny

they're bigger than quails, which we have

[tired wolf]

Like 1.4-2.3kg making the smallest predators that will come to the game and the only Class predator as well

[agile cradle]

im so not ready for all the mispronunciations from content creators

[glacial oasis]

LOL

[tired wolf]

Tiny as comparison with the other predators from the game

[glacial oasis]

one of a kind then

[glacial oasis]

just like alligators were the first reptiles

[agile cradle]

istg if i hear one cc call them lakes and not lochs im calling the police

[marble quartz]

It's so cute

[limber cliff]

you know they will

[tired wolf]

Don’t understimate it cause of it’s cute looking

[glacial oasis]

mink are mustelids so

they are pretty wild predators

[jade thicket]

yeah till they bite you lol

[agile cradle]

it will harm me physically and emotionally to hear, all lakes are lochs, but not all lochs are lakes

[jade thicket]

like ferrets tiny needle sharp teeth

[glacial oasis]

i think id rather come across a bear than a lion sized mustelid

[tired wolf]

I saw them taking large rabbits and hares and even large birds

[marble quartz]

How can I kill that tiny fluff ball

[tired wolf]

Wanna something insane?
All of you?

[glacial oasis]

with a .22h

[tired wolf]

Traps are the most commonly used to hunt them.
Kill traps as hunting

[agile cradle]

american mink bites hurt like HELL.

[worldly shard]

DEMOMAN EASTER EGG SOMEWHERE

[tired wolf]

I saw one in a video attacking a fully grown Mute Swan

[marble quartz]

No I can't do that that would break my heart

[jade thicket]

they destroy fisheries they are a pest in general

[tired wolf]

They are not native to Scotland and Europe at all

[agile cradle]

those teeth are nastily sharp and that little jaw has so much power behind it. i had to get like 5 shots at the doctor after being bitten by one living in an abandoned shacks walls

[glacial oasis]

hence american mink..

[glacial oasis]

gah damn

[tired wolf]

They had ended up in Europe same reasons as the Raccoon Dog.
Fur farms, kept as pets and more

[agile cradle]

"oh we'll just rest here for 5 minutes have a smoke and move on" instantly gets bit by a mink hiding in the wall i was reaching into to see what it was i was looking at

[glacial oasis]

LOL

[tired wolf]

@jade thicket where was mentioned that wouldn’t be otters on the new map?

[marble quartz]

I think all animals are cute because I am a animal lover

[glacial oasis]

so why is shooting a mink crossing the line

[agile cradle]

i personally would love to see carts of american mink being taken to the coat factory in scotland

invasive pests deserving of it

[jade thicket]

Cotw vivi mentioned it yesterday

[agile cradle]

i love them when they're in america, not scotland

[jade thicket]

also shooting otters you would get super hate

[tired wolf]

One is real life and one is in the game

[jade thicket]

weird really as if you take ethics out of it not much difference shooting a mink to a otter really

[tired wolf]

Otters are not 100% cute
I saw them tackling and taking on much larger predators
The Giant River ones from South America are the most gangster freshwater mustelids could ever existed

[jade thicket]

i dont mind personally id shoot everything

[marble quartz]

I would leave animal that don't bother you alone and kill the once that try to kill you you can go kill them leave the other one alone I know it a video game but it's hurts me

[jade thicket]

i see a animal as a animal bird frog horse dog

just humans attach themselves to certain ones

[tired wolf]

Yes Ik that and is true

[dark flower]

ye I don’t know why they won’t add cats

[marble quartz]

Man I love this game but it hurts to to shoot any animals in that game

[tired wolf]

You mean feral cats?
They can be added for Emerald Cats

[dark flower]

ye feral cats

[tired wolf]

There’s an another type of feral cats in Australia

[marble quartz]

I hope we don't get any predator in this map because I just want injoy the map and I don't want to be food for a predator

[tired wolf]

We get minks and those are too small to can represent a real danger like wolves and tigers do

[jade thicket]

well its scotland so unless its nessy you should be fine

[tired wolf]

It would be cool a mission with Loch Ness Monster

I mean there’s a mission about Wendigo in NEM.
So why not?

[marble quartz]

Your never safe in any map with predator

[kind lava]

Vivi, will there be any new news today?

[jade thicket]

if i were a dev id add one in a loch and just have it pop up now and then in the distance on very rare occasions but not mention it so people dont know if they actually saw it or not

[median tree]

Could you please tell me what the animal rendering distance is on PC? I think it’s around 400 to 450 meters on console. On this open map, it would be really useful to increase the distance at which animals can be seen.

[jade thicket]

flat 420m

on high ground possible 600m ish

maths basically

[median tree]

PC is the same ?

[jade thicket]

yup

i think so

[tired wolf]

I can’t believe I play COTW for 5yrs and unelievable how much the game added and evolved

[jade thicket]

we just starting out yet as well

[marble quartz]

I can't wait to see how the dog can carry a badger and mink in it's mouth

[jade thicket]

so 8 years old and classic is nearly 17 now and still supported so imagine how much is to come

[glacial oasis]

theres like no predator in scotland that can kill you unless its a mink with rabies 😭

[agile cradle]

Vivi i will pay good money to have this maps soundtrack pressed on to a record

[marble quartz]

Good so I am safe then

[agile cradle]

the UK is officially rabies free

[final sierra]

how did you know I was lurking..

[glacial oasis]

thats awesome

the chicken head method

[median tree]

A fall off a cliff will do the trick

[agile cradle]

i didn't that was sheer coincidence

maybe im a soothsayer

[glacial oasis]

are we getting the animal list today

or told what the g1 is

[final sierra]

No, too early

[glacial oasis]

siiighh

🥀

tomorrow?

[jade thicket]

well we was waiting for the next teaser to drop today...😁

[tired wolf]

Mostly next week when the release date trailer will come

[jade thicket]

haha but friday is cool too 😁

[glacial oasis]

i wasnt gonna buy this map till i saw the minks and badgers

[tired wolf]

Lucky for me that Friday is my off day for University

[glacial oasis]

and that there are 3 extra new species with those

[median tree]

VIVI.
Will the game include a new animal mechanic like it was with the tiger and the beaver?

[viscid jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/badger-badger-badger-mushroom-mushroom-mushroom-iggydr-gif-18197905

[tired wolf]

I got only one trophy Euro Badger and that was in WOTH

[viscid jolt]

I’m thinking setts and “remastered” burrows .. as a new mechanic I hope I’m right

[marble quartz]

Why do I think we said that and they drop something out at 10

[tired wolf]

Looks like they got the burrows for badgers like how is in WOTH, but will seems more like how are Euro Rabbits as well

[tired wolf]

10 what

[marble quartz]

I don't know I just know that usely when they release some things

[tired wolf]

10 days?
Like?

[viscid jolt]

Drop in ten seconds….

[marble quartz]

And that doesn't make me a hacker

[tired wolf]

Yeah

[jade thicket]

steam will normally say how long till release in hrs before it launches

just before

[agile cradle]

i jus wanna pre order it so my broke arse doesnt have to wait til payday

[night trench]

Probably no real news today

[paper locust]

We'll get the official trailer and release announcement next Tuesday most likely

Then release on the 9th

We've got some time

[viscid jolt]

I’m so hyped for Scotland but I’m also so so so so so so hyped for the patch

And this mysterious new GO

[agile cradle]

when do they announce pricing again?

like how close to release

[paper locust]

It'll be 11.99 usd

[agile cradle]

i need non-freedom units

[paper locust]

Idk then

[agile cradle]

askiy was £10.79 but sundar was like a pound more at release so idk

[marble quartz]

We think December 9

[paper locust]

It's the same price as asiky

[agile cradle]

i know when it releases lol twas revealed on the sites

[agile cradle]

alright then i'll just sell a skin and add an extra £8 lol

[tired wolf]

I checked on Steam and the price is 11.99€

[marble quartz]

Holy cow I was right

[long spade]

Think the new gun adds anything ?

[paper locust]

Yeah they are following the same release schedule as asiky

[tired wolf]

Is a semi-auto Shotgun

Benehag 12G exactly

[long spade]

I know, its a 12ga. Im betting its a reskin of the 20ga semi auto and doesn't do much aside

[tired wolf]

It will be a nice addition
I mean my best shotguns for bird hunting are 12gauge and 16gauge

[long spade]

Its adding to the numbers, not affecting the gameplay in any way

[tired wolf]

Yup

[marble quartz]

I want to know if the content creators will be able to show us the map before release

[paper locust]

Unlikely we will know until they do or don't

That's contract/nda stuff

[long spade]

Scoring 2.0 was in January of 2020, they've added dozens of animals and around a dozen guns but haven't said a word about fixing issues

[tired wolf]

You mean Early access?
They are gonna do that
They did this with every map added to the game

I hope we get Red Grouses and Common Wood Pigeons as two of the other new species for the new map

[marble quartz]

What do you guys think the remodel animals would be

[tired wolf]

Red deer, boar and something else

[jade wyvern]

Red, boar, goat, roe

[tired wolf]

Right
Feral goats were looking better in the trailer

[marble quartz]

They said 3 remodel

[jade wyvern]

Oh then no goat

[marble quartz]

I think
Red deer
Wild boar
Ferel goat

[tired wolf]

Yup

[long spade]

No roe remodel would be so disappointing

[paper locust]

Pretty sure they said red, roe, and boar for remodels

[fierce bay]

Suprise suprise

[paper locust]

Not goat

[frozen parrot]

roe deer remodel

[long spade]

Until its seriously confirmed im not holding my breath

[fierce bay]

It is on the playstation and xbox Banner for the game feeder pack according to doc honse

[marble quartz]

Not until ew says anything about it Im not holding my breath

[fierce bay]

New picture in 8 min ?

[marble quartz]

Don't Believe that

[paper locust]

We won't have more news until likely Tuesday

Just chill time for now

[long spade]

Think the new 12ga will unlock bird and slugs for level 1 players?

[marble quartz]

There's a chance never say never

[agile cradle]

i have 2 ideas for pictures that could be hung in the lodges

number1: the penalty that bukayo saka took that sealed englands defeat in EURO 2021

number 2: Scott Mctominays goal last night

[marble quartz]

@agile cradle can you delete these please

[fading pike]

Could legitimately have beavers

Nobody seems to have mentioned it as an option for this map

[agile cradle]

if a mod wants to remove them, by all means, but i was making a joke during a time when chat was dead🤷‍♂️

[tight raven]

Wdym

Like everyone did

[agile cradle]

iv said beavers a few times

[fading pike]

I've been at work tbf so if they have my bad

[marble quartz]

@agile cradle sorry I was just asking nicely

[lament helm]

Nah

Let em stay

[little verge]

pin them

[marble quartz]

Those pictures are not anything with with hunting

[agile cradle]

first time in map chat? we literally have a song about clams pinned😭

or we did

they removed all the old pins

[wraith ore]

A good 60% of general chat is about food

[agile cradle]

food, what people are doing, just general shenanigans unless someone shows up with a need of help or a screenshot of the game

[silver fog]

Oh that's nice

[long spade]

Irish beef stew does look fantastic tho

[turbid cloak]

gahhh

[agile cradle]

g'day war bear

[lament helm]

It is fantastic

Especially if you use deer

[agile cradle]

irish stew is in my top ten foods

[silver fog]

~~ Dont like stews ~~

and hi

[agile cradle]

we must send you to exile

[long spade]

I have no beef, at the moment, so I was going to make it with elk shoulder or mule deer

[silver fog]

Mushy foods are for people with bad teeth

[agile cradle]

elk would be good

[agile cradle]

im so sorry that you've had mushy stews but real stew meat should still have some form lol

[long spade]

European elk or American elk?

[lament helm]

Irish elk great one when?

[agile cradle]

both would be good in my opinion

[marble quartz]

😒

[agile cradle]

im not sure on the differences surrounding them too clearly

taste wise

[agile cradle]

now this would be pretty damn cool

[lament helm]

You also gotta account for if the kill was efficient or not, if they’re alive too long the stress makes the meat taste off

[long spade]

Diet largely, moose eat more swampy vegetation and elk have a more sage based diet

[agile cradle]

they've got less time than fish for dispatch and gutting aswell right?

[lament helm]

I believe so, not sure

I’ve only done field gutting on deer

[agile cradle]

i'd go with elk then, i am a sucker for sage in my stews

[long spade]

A quick kill helps but its more that you need to bleed and cool the carcass as fast as possible for the best taste

[agile cradle]

sagey meats tend to taste the best

[marble quartz]

This was forhunting not for any thing else we got other chat you could put it on

[lament helm]

Cooking is part of hunting bud

[long spade]

As if no one else jokes around here

[marble quartz]

The game i am talking about

[long spade]

Curious. Do you age meats in Scotland by wet or dry aging?

[kind lava]

Vivi, plssssss show us the new weapon on the map

[jade thicket]

curing is a old age thing going back 1000s of years

[oblique plinth]

theyve floated the idea of cooking/resource harvesting in some of their player surveys and as much as it would be a huge undertaking

i'd love to see it

a little more of a survival element like far cry primal or red dead

[long spade]

Great but I mean what's preferred

[oblique plinth]

i doubt it would ever happen but it would give me more of a reason to diversify my kills yknow

[jade thicket]

its more of a choice tbh

[oblique plinth]

other than just hunting for rare furs

[jade thicket]

most countries do the same

[oblique plinth]

plus i love foraging mechanics

[marble quartz]

Omg can we talk about anything else other than hunting some were else

[agile cradle]

i think in butchers and groceries they dry age but at home its purely preference

[long spade]

Ew no, dry age is by far the better way, but don't leave the birds whole

Can I asked, if they've gone through the trouble of creating models of carcasses, why are all predator feed zones just little chunks of meat

[jade thicket]

well thats the point people like different things 😁

[long spade]

Also, why can't you buy a chunk of meat like feed zones use to make predator baits with

[marble quartz]

Thank God we are back talk about cotw

[red heath]

This us probably the closed thing we're gonna get to an Ireland map. I'm so excited for this map

Is*

[marble quartz]

@red heath Scotland

[red heath]

Ik it's Scotland

[long spade]

Found the GO

[lament helm]

Trust me I also wanted an Ireland map

[red heath]

When I seen the red deer and the ruin castle i thought it might have actually been ireland ngl

[lament helm]

I thought the same thing till I heard the pan flutes

[marble quartz]

I know that it was Scotland because of the bagpipes

[agile cradle]

it would be nice to have both countries but im glad we got ours first

[lament helm]

We’ll get Ireland eventually

Maybe we’ll get proper Mauser rifles if they give us Ireland

[long spade]

I wanted a Stalking rifle in classes 3-7, preferably a 7x57mm

[marble quartz]

Maybe next year

[red heath]

What yous think the new G1 will be

[lament helm]

Wood stocks will always be better than polymer

No one can say otherwise

[tardy kelp]

What's this semi auto shotgun

[red heath]

Bro I'm gonna be grinding for a ginger badger man

[tardy kelp]

Oooo

[pine lily]

truth

[red heath]

There so cool

[agile cradle]

wood stocks are gorgeous and if i had the skills i would be handcarving rifle stocks for the world rn

[marble quartz]

@red heath I think Europe hair or our first animal in Savannah the lion

[oblique plinth]

all the badgers

[lament helm]

Oh dude same

[oblique plinth]

i'm so excited about mustelids being added to the game

[long spade]

Then I can disapoint you further. There was originally 3 variants of the .470 DB and this one was left out in favor of the polymer black one

[tardy kelp]

Aren't they arthritic

[lament helm]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-gif-24341837

[agile cradle]

there is something about just that feel of varnished wood under your hand, whether its a replica or firing rifle, just feels amazing

[red heath]

Like look at this

[long spade]

Feels more alive and cared for

[lament helm]

I’ll never forget firing my first rifle, it was a kar98 and the whole bolt action felt so smooth, best weapon I ever had the joy of handling

[marble quartz]

Ash do you don't like that gun

[red heath]

I would have called them there seintific name but I just don't know it

[oblique plinth]

erythristic

[lament helm]

Needs some omega 3 pills

Good for arthritis

[tardy kelp]

Same thing

[oblique plinth]

but they want the badger to have arthritis

so if anything they should be making the badger knit or something

[lament helm]

Makes hunting them easier I guess

[marble quartz]

I want a challenge

[tardy kelp]

The minks look tiny

[marble quartz]

That makes it more fun

[next folio]

wood looks so much better than a poylmer stock

[red heath]

Do you think because there a protected spieces/ they can't really be hunted that there'll only be a limited amount of them?

Like at a time

[marble quartz]

What class do you think mink and the badger would be

[pine lily]

its what makes my SMLE so magical to me at least

feeling the grain on the wood, the different layers of finish from when it was retouched at the armory

the pits and gouges from use

it's character

[tardy kelp]

Do we have a size compassion for the minks lol

[lament helm]

I think EW is gonna take some liberty with hunting laws

I mean no one would be allowed to harvest multiple animals if the hunting laws applied

[pine lily]

i mean Germany doesnt allow hunting of its bison herd at all but we have em on hirsch

[lament helm]

Or tigers if the protected status applied

[pine lily]

and tigers and snow leopards cant be hunted legally anywhere

[red heath]

Also I think this might be my favourite map cause from what ik so far they got red deer which just look great Feral goat which recently I started to get interested in hunting and then badgers which are something I've been waiting for

[agile cradle]

chicken balti is a lot spicier than i bargained for i am dying

[oblique plinth]

isnt hunting at night not allowed in most places as well

[next folio]

both probably 2

[lament helm]

And feeders

[long spade]

Do you have low spice tolerance?

[pine lily]

yeah; illegal outside of predators in the US

[red heath]

Would mink be 1 cause didn't they used to be critter on med ved

[pine lily]

oh and pests like pigs can be yeeted in the dark too

[agile cradle]

no no i can handle spice, but my stomach cant, im worried for my stomach lol

[lament helm]

Weakness

If you can’t handle habanero peppers are you really that strong?

[agile cradle]

god i love stuffed habanero

[lament helm]

Same here

[next folio]

spice tolerance is just mental

cant help it if it blows up your insides though

[long spade]

If your stomach cant take it you can't

[lament helm]

You know people said Indian food was spicy but I was just kinda disappointed

It was kinda mild

[next folio]

i mean

not really

[pine lily]

he can he'll just regret it horribly

[oblique plinth]

depends on what you order

[lament helm]

I ordered the spiciest curry they had.

[agile cradle]

i still eat it just im going to regret it about 6 hours later

[pine lily]

Shartacus Eruptus

[oblique plinth]

what kind of area was the restaurant in

[agile cradle]

did you ask for indian spicy or western spicy

[oblique plinth]

because some restaurants will nerf their spices for the average clientel

[lament helm]

Alabama but specifically in the “bad area” of town

[agile cradle]

i asked for indian spicy once and cried

[red heath]

Ik it's off topic but for me "are we still freinds?" Gives me chrismas vibes

Christmas*

[marble quartz]

Guys What if they are not attached to the feeder

[lament helm]

I still wish they’d at least put red nosed reindeer in game around Christmas

[oblique plinth]

spiciest thing ive ever eaten was an order of noodles at an airport in korea

[lament helm]

I want to hunt Rudolph

[red heath]

But make it like rare

[pine lily]

youd love classic

[oblique plinth]

only had 2 chili peppers next to it on the menu and yet i saw god

[arctic pike]

blast him outta the sky

[lament helm]

I play classic

[proper aurora]

They should of mink on new england

[pine lily]

i forgor 💀

[proper aurora]

Put

[lament helm]

That’s why buckshot exists

Also cool pfp

[marble quartz]

Wait not Rudolph

[pine lily]

event should be on time this year so yeet rudolph for christmas

[lament helm]

Hell yeah.

[arctic pike]

why thank you

I made it myself 🙂‍↕️

[oblique plinth]

event animals are a big thing missing from cotw

i'm so jealous of some of the stuff classic gets

[lament helm]

I did not make mine but i commissioned it way back

https://tenor.com/view/braveheart-mel-gibson-scotland-gibson-scottish-gif-21954284

[half rapids]

Im from the Republic myself but I have to admit I find Scottish highlands more interesting for hunting since we dont have things like roe deer. Pine martens and wild boar are far more rare too. And even at that places here like the Cooley mountains give me very similar vibes to Tòrr nan Sìthean

[pine lily]

i hope the 3rd mustelid is pine marten

[lament helm]

Who knows

[arctic pike]

otters would also be cool, I'd love to see more semi aquatic species

[half rapids]

I'd say its likely for Scotland

[oblique plinth]

i'm just hoping there are sika deer

[pine lily]

only other options are weasel and stoat and idk if theyre big enough to shoot with anything

and vivi said no otters sadly

[marble quartz]

I am enjoying this 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

[lament helm]

Honestly I wouldn’t mind hunting weasels

[half rapids]

Stoats are tiny

[arctic pike]

otters when 😔

[lament helm]

I don’t think they’ll give us otters

[night trench]

Weasels to small

Stoats not much smaller than a mink

[marble quartz]

They are mink get it right

[lament helm]

Don’t gotta be mean dude

[pine lily]

huh?

[red heath]

Oh yea what happened to mission trophies I swear they just disappeared

[marble quartz]

My bad

[lament helm]

I don’t think those were a thing?

Not sure

[night trench]

Weasels are like, the size a Toblerone including tail

[long spade]

GOs ate up the dev time and budget

[red heath]

Mr black

[lament helm]

Oh right

[red heath]

Albino diamond in medved

[marble quartz]

Cape Lock was on

[limber cliff]

Hear me out...

Badger... and MEGA Badger..

[lament helm]

The wolves in cuatro

[red heath]

Oh yea

[half rapids]

Fernanda

[pine lily]

there once was a giant prehistoric badger the size of a wolf

i dont mean like 65lb eastern wolf i mean like 175lb northwestern wolf

[night trench]

I’ve seen stoats from a big distance they are pretty big

[red heath]

What G1 would yous like to see

[marble quartz]

how can keep caps locked off on phone

[night trench]

Stubble quail

[night trench]

The button above shift

[lament helm]

Honestly alligator

[red heath]

Od like to see sika deer just knowing there on the map

[pine lily]

me want roe deer

[lament helm]

I never expected haggis to actually taste okay

[oblique plinth]

a GO sika would be a majestic bastard

but i'd just like to see any sika on this map

they're overdue

[red heath]

I made a suggestion a while ago

For G1 sika

[night trench]

I couldn’t dare eating it😭

[lament helm]

Great one musk deer, just give it a Dracula cape

[marble quartz]

@night trench I have been doing it but it keeps caps after I sent my text

[long spade]

Roe deer make the most sense but it'll probably be boar just to be contrary

[night trench]

wdym?

[red heath]

Did yous see the suggestion with the 3D models for the croc

And boar

[lament helm]

No I didn’t?

[vivid cosmos]

That's just the Squonk

[half rapids]

Still significantly smaller than mink and pine marten tbh

[fast hawk]

So do we know if the great one red deer is getting new fur types this update ?

[agile cradle]

https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1439268296666124441 daily repost in case some havent seen

[lament helm]

I hope so.

[long spade]

There's a whole website for wild haggis conservation my guy

[oblique plinth]

nothing's been mentioned/confirmed but it would be a huge missed opportunity if they don't

[night trench]

I mean who’s suprised lol, pine martens are really big

[pine lily]

man this rock cover of Blinding Lights goes unreasonably hard

[fast hawk]

Yeah

[agile cradle]

go on youtube and listen to shambolics cover of the same song

[oblique plinth]

i think i'll do a red grind on scotland anyway even if there aren't any new furs

[night trench]

I think we have every kind of mustelid scotland has

[pine lily]

id hope the G1 is getting a redux too, although wouldve taken a huge amount of effort

[oblique plinth]

i want to see those giant vine entangled antlers in those forests

[red heath]

Can we get another Easter egg like that one in te araowa with the wendigo (I can't spell btw)

[fast hawk]

Yeah, definitely

[vivid cosmos]

So does the Squonk

[oblique plinth]

the wendigo?

[marble quartz]

when I am getting ready text my first word it caps the first I typed

[agile cradle]

that looks kind of like the old man of storr on the isle of skye!

[oblique plinth]

does new zealand have wendigo legends?

[vivid cosmos]

They are extremely endangered since they can cry themselves into a puddle unprompted

[half rapids]

Thats super pretty

[night trench]

There’s actually one more here

[agile cradle]

i hope the old man of storr is featured somewhere on the map

[night trench]

Idk what it’s called but literall translation is stone marten

[pine lily]

mink, badger, and pine marten are the big 3 mustelids in scotland so yeh

[red heath]

At one of the outposts at night there's a book and if you open it it the lights flicker and the shadow of a wendigo shows up on the wall behind you

[pine lily]

terrestrially at least

theres also otters but sadly no otters

[night trench]

So here we have pine marten, stone marten, polecat, stoat, weasel, mink, otter and badger

[lament helm]

You know what I think is funny about the Scotland map

[agile cradle]

what would that be

[marble quartz]

oh I fixed it

[vivid cosmos]

Appalachia doesn't have wendigos or skinwalkers since neither of their cultures are present in the area the legends in Appalachia should actualky refer to spirits or the Fair Folk

[pine lily]

seeing people throw a hissy fit about it on occasion has made for good entertainment; at least until ive gotta step in to maintain civility

[lament helm]

There’s going to always be that one group of British people upset over the usual things

[night trench]

There’s a surprising amount of predators here

[lament helm]

This too.

[pine lily]

i didnt know the british were upset but then again the only brits I know are Grim and Mel and theyre both hyped af

sample of 2 is not immense

[lament helm]

I thought they were Scottish

[night trench]

7 native mustelids, we have raccoons, raccoon dogs and minks for invasive predators and wolf, fox and wildcat for remaining

[oblique plinth]

just looked into it- it's a thing, but it's on new england!

[lament helm]

The ones I’m talking about are usually banned when they start talking about why they don’t like it

[oblique plinth]

which makes a lot of sense

[pine lily]

i thought they were both in England 😭

[agile cradle]

oh yeah i've seen some wild comments on some posts by the angry lot

[pine lily]

ah that makes sense lmfao

[red heath]

Ah sorry about that

[agile cradle]

Mel lives in scotland i think? and grim is in england

[red heath]

But EW should make another thing like that that was cool

[pine lily]

Mel either lives in Scotland or her partner is Scottish im not sure

[oblique plinth]

nah no worries i was just interested in figuring out if the legend was that widespread

[pine lily]

she is in some way connected to scotland

[agile cradle]

vivi typing everyone QUIET

[pine lily]

We seen you Vivi 👀

[marble quartz]

@pine lily it's like when people want a map they want and ew makes a map that people don't ask they complain about it

[final sierra]

I just wanted to say that racoons aren't in the mustelidae family that's all 😭

[night trench]

Mel’s partner is scottish

I really hope they have Marten, I remember a book from where I was young where the protagonist was a wild Black Cat and one antagonist was a marten

[agile cradle]

do you know theres a reply function you can use so you don't ping people

[lament helm]

You know raccoons are also evolving to purposefully domesticate themselves apparently

[pine lily]

yeah that happens' folks just get way too pressed about it is all

[marble quartz]

I keep forgetting

[half rapids]

Leave it to the Angloids to be constantly upset at not having more

[lament helm]

So pet raccoons might soon be a thing

[final sierra]

literally my dream

[lament helm]

You and me both, though maybe an opossum too

[night trench]

If i see a raccoon here if have to kill it

Bc it’s invasive

[lament helm]

Probably not, could give away too much

[lament helm]

Shame that you gotta specify on that last name these days

[vivid cosmos]

Like dingos to dogs? Or like feral dogs to dogs

[oblique plinth]

try having it BE your last name

[agile cradle]

they have domestic like fur. still a wildcat, usually bigger than the housecat with stubby tails and an attitude

[delicate peak]

Dingos to dogs

[night trench]

Cats originated from african wildcats iirc

[oblique plinth]

anyway here's a scottish wildcat

[lament helm]

[night trench]

No😭

Not possible like they had to arrive to the island somehow

[night trench]

Doggerland….

[delicate peak]

From european wildcats

[vivid cosmos]

I bet they became wild after being introduced

[jovial viper]

A fabled feral goat is the answer.

[delicate peak]

Someone who knows

[agile cradle]

im pretty convinced a hybrid found its way to my village once. it was absolutely huge, let me pet it for like 3 seconds and then began to viciously attack my hands

pigeons, woodcocks or partridges 😭 😭 😭

[final sierra]

I just wanna show everyone this video @solemn crypt did a month ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXzabqC3ClI

He had no idea it was Scotland so we were of course giggling and eating popcorn when we saw it posted

[delicate peak]

They probably crossed over to the British isles when they were above sea level

i said this a year ago

[delicate peak]

When was this?

[night trench]

It attached the netherlands (my country) to the British isles i have to know😭

i dropped the hints since about 2018 across several platforms and surveys😂

[night trench]

I’m apologize for my bad humor pls don’t reset my game😔

[oblique plinth]

i've heard a lot of them are hybridizing with domestic cats which is one of the big threats to the species along with habitat loss

[delicate peak]

Yea

[final sierra]

My finger is hovering on the reset button, you're on thin ice kid!

[delicate peak]

Most wildcats have that problem

[marble quartz]

oh no

Every survey I’ve seen for years I’ve always recommended Scotland, you can imagine how hyped I was when it was revealed

[vivid cosmos]

Vivi can do that

[agile cradle]

i feel like my lucks going to run out soon, i mean my country wins their qualifier group the same night we get a new map, it was fate

[oblique plinth]

i have a theory about the next map. i think we're getting capybaras

[jade thicket]

Africa 2.0 should be Tanzania its amazing and different

[vivid cosmos]

No, we are skipping 2.0 all the way to 3.6

[oblique plinth]

how do i know?? i don't

[marble quartz]

lol this amusing

[oblique plinth]

but i have a sense

[delicate peak]

Vivi we demand teasers in exchange we buy the map

[night trench]

Who are they playing next?

[urban isle]

Scotland 2.0? 👀

[agile cradle]

not decided until the playoffs are over

[lament helm]

Maybe they’ll reveal trail cams next

[jovial viper]

Rework layton lakes

[agile cradle]

we are in pot 3 which means we might come up against the likes of England or Argentina in pot 1 though

[vivid cosmos]

You are in position to demand nothing

They beat us in 2022

[vivid cosmos]

What do you want reworked?

[agile cradle]

yup we've been dealt a pretty scary hand for the world cup but we pulled off something magical last night

[oblique plinth]

people will complain about anything but honestly i love these new landscapes so much

[lament helm]

You know one Scottish person who could be the warden?

[marble quartz]

your safe but I did laugh a little bit

[lament helm]

Peter capaldi

[jade thicket]

ayyye laddy

[vivid cosmos]

I've seen hate on everything this game puts out

[jovial viper]

All the reeds/tall grass around the water

[oblique plinth]

thought you were gonna say gordon ramsay

[lament helm]

No, there’s better than a washed up chef

[vivid cosmos]

You want them to have better quality?

[oblique plinth]

he's from glasgow

[jade thicket]

same as my fam

[night trench]

I don’t want to get called a donut when i miss a shot

[jovial viper]

Yeah

[night trench]

Or a idiot sandwich when i botch something

[vivid cosmos]

That's not a crazy ask

[urban isle]

Gordon is a Scottish national treasure don’t ever

[delicate peak]

Fr

[vivid cosmos]

You could make a feedback post

[jade thicket]

my fam are from pollok bit rough

[jovial viper]

Maybe

[night trench]

Like the fish? Pollok?

[lament helm]

He can’t even make a grilled cheese, I respect him for being Scottish but I don’t respect him as a member of the culinary field

[agile cradle]

YOU! YES YOU! STAND STILL LADDIE!

[jade thicket]

haha just a rough part of glasgow

[vivid cosmos]

I'll make it, it's a good ask

[lament helm]

Also every time I read Glasgow I read it in the accent and it sounds like glazgoo

[agile cradle]

christ you could walk into pollok with nothing and still leave with less than you arrived with

[urban isle]

Billy Connolly should have been the warden ngl 👌

[agile cradle]

that'd have been cool

[urban isle]

Aye no half rough mate, wains would set about ye fur no giving them a cig 🤣

[night trench]

I’ve been to scotland i will be the warden

[agile cradle]

im just glad we got an authentic accent

[bleak ether]

The Scottish Wildcat is listed as Critically Endangered.

[agile cradle]

and the badger is protected.

[urban isle]

I know I was surprised it was an actual Scottish person and not a Scottish American accent

[night trench]

There is 15k badgers tho😭

Like 32 scottish wildcats

[half rapids]

Ik Im just showing the difference. Not a recommendation

[urban isle]

Same with red foxes in some places

[paper locust]

Ngl as a homebound american, my first thought was Brave when I heard the accent 😂

[agile cradle]

quite alot of hybrids about the place and only growing in numbers too

[paper locust]

Judge me as you will

[urban isle]

Cause brave had the true accents aswell 😩👌

[jade thicket]

it is weird in some places up there my mate who is a game keeper showed me a pile of foxes hed shot in two days like 20+

[agile cradle]

there was a dev called Chaplain in here yesterday who said they did ask them to put on a bit of a voice but she definitely is still a real scot

[urban isle]

Yeah the law about them is iffy, you can hunt them to protect your farm but you can’t hunt them just to hunt them

[half rapids]

Please tell me EW payed the VA to say desgustang

[paper locust]

Yeah cause a huge majority of purchasers are going to not know the difference and that lil "act" type push is what we are used to

[jade thicket]

with shotgun licensing changing soon will be different again

[urban isle]

I’m noticing more and more Scot’s slowly appearing, I’m one of them 🤣

[jade thicket]

if it passes

[agile cradle]

we have more scots than you'd think in here

[bleak ether]

In Scotland, the government can issue licences to prevent serious damage by badgers to land, crops, poultry, or other property.
The Scottish Wildcat is strictly protected.

[paper locust]

I didn't know that actually! Cool info to tuck away.

[verbal peak]

Loads of Europe haters hiding too 😂

[urban isle]

We shall take over

[urban isle]

Shocker 🤣

I love being patriotic about my country I’m too hyped for this map 🤣

[agile cradle]

that doesn't include animals on a 25km squared nature reserve, they're free roaming on land like that and therefore adding them isn't exactly much different from adding wildcats unless you put them in one specific piece of farmland

[urban isle]

My grandad can do that 🤣🤣

[vivid cosmos]

I love Europe maps this game is too focused on the American way of hunting

[agile cradle]

not to mention, you can just say you're culling the hybrid species of scottish wildcat which is a problem and is outcompeting the trues for natural resources

need i remind you

tigers and lions and snowies

[jovial viper]

Alright tell me how it goes

[vivid cosmos]

Snowies are the real sign to be honest, no one was asking for them, the mountains would still be cool without them, still gave us a super endangered species and made it the best hunt in the game lol

[bleak ether]

In COTW, we are the owners of the hunting reserve land.

[agile cradle]

no we aren't, thats why a warden is talking to you the whole time

[oblique plinth]

the origin story kind of varies from map to map

like on vurhonga i think we're adopted"

?

[vivid cosmos]

In most maps we are literally hired hunters in some maps we are hired help lol

[jade thicket]

thehunter games is based on we are wardens

[pine lily]

and on vurhonga we're the warden's grandson

[vivid cosmos]

Vurhonga's story us a fever dream

[urban isle]

I wish they reintroduced species into maps, like how Scotland used to have a lot of reindeers and lynx but they died out years ago, just would be cool to see them wandering Scotland again.

[bleak ether]

There are feral cats (hybrids included).

[vivid cosmos]

Like What the hell was up with that glowing Ghost Jackal

[urban isle]

Was weird but a cool story ngl, caught me off guard and gave me that spooky feeling I wish the game had more cause hunting can be terrifying at times

[vivid cosmos]

And whatever the Grampa Nyabolo was on in that Eloko sequence

[jade thicket]

its a great story

[vivid cosmos]

I also liked it but it was by far the weirdest story

[urban isle]

Idk why guard autocorrected to Halifax 🤣😭

[vivid cosmos]

I also found that weird

Lol

[urban isle]

Would like a spooky story again, like the old witches of Scotland would be cool
