[lunar ingot]

i like to play a game where i find a mention of freud in at least one class per semester. he was finally mentioned on monday. its just a meme how he always turns up

[lament vault]

I have a lot of second language English friends and I’m struggling to figure this out😭

[tawdry juniper]

thats cause English is her first language

[lament vault]

Lmao this is objectively funny

[bright estuary]

American one do making weird sound
European not

[tawdry juniper]

DUDE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[lament vault]

Ahhh now I get it

[lunar ingot]

yous are just being mean cos i knew what she was saying when she sent it first time

[bright estuary]

Woodcock*

[lament vault]

How does this mean Woodcock😭

[tawdry juniper]

facts bro

❤️‍🩹

[lament vault]

No I’m confused

[bright estuary]

Woodcock in french : Bécasse

[lament vault]

That’s why I’m confused

[bright estuary]

In England is also bécasse ?

[agile cradle]

PUT THIS MAP ON PRE-SALE OR PRE-ORDER ON STEAM OR I WILL RIOT ITS PAYDAY THIS WEEK. ITS NOT PAYDAY ON THE 9TH DECEMBER

[lunar ingot]

[lament vault]

EK KOM VAN SUID AFRIKA!

I do not speak French

[midnight moon]

Join the club

[lament vault]

No we call them a woodcock or snipe

[tawdry juniper]

no. Budget wisely 😈

[bright estuary]

Okay Snipe so random

[lament vault]

That’s where you get the word for sniping from

[midnight moon]

The economy is so bad I got a speeding fine. Night made

[lament vault]

Because it take a good shot with a musket to kill one

[tawdry juniper]

Arent snipe and woodcock separate animals?

[lament vault]

No

I think

I’m pretty sure

[midnight moon]

Rifleman

Another bird

[lament vault]

If you find it to be different then I’m okay with being wrong

[tawdry juniper]

u might wanna double check

[lament vault]

I forget these things

As I’m not much of a bird hunter

[tawdry juniper]

A snipe kinda looks like a woodcock but they got long legs

[lament vault]

Oooo then that would be why I got confused😭

[bright estuary]

Not the same bird

[lament vault]

Just looked it up

They are different

[lament vault]

My apologies we only call them Woodcock then

[lunar ingot]

this feels like some sort of psa idk why

[lament vault]

That’s the same damn bird😭

One just looks like it has etiquette

[tawdry juniper]

Nuhh uhh

[lament vault]

Yes

[tawdry juniper]

Not taxonomically ☝️🤓

[bright estuary]

In France we got this 2 ones

Becassine munch smaller

[tawdry juniper]

Not even same genus BUDDY

[lament vault]

Be quiet Mr American

[bright estuary]

And live in wetlands and bécasse is in the woods

[lament vault]

They look the same

And as I have no ability they are the same

[lunar ingot]

i love how french has ‘bois’ as an actual word. i read it like ‘boys’ and it makes everything feel so funny

[bright estuary]

Bois is for woods

[digital quartz]

I have to go to sleep soon

[bright estuary]

French teacher 🥖

[lament vault]

Please do not teach me French

Your language frightens me

[lament vault]

Then go to sleep and sleep well

[digital quartz]

[lament vault]

Have a good one sleep well

[tawdry juniper]

idk wtf more they can release

OMG GG1

great great one?

[agile cradle]

its christmas time, there is no such thing as budgeting at this time of year

why does everyone need a goddamn present

[jaunty trail]

I anticipate at least one nessie easter egg

[midnight moon]

Can you speak English please

[bright estuary]

I do speak french just to fear british

[lament helm]

C'est bien, libérez l'Écosse.

[viscid jolt]

can you please not post jumpscares............................

[limber cliff]

bro... that's just my face

[agile cradle]

the lassie doing the voice over wasn't wrong... that was exactly like a scene affa shortbread tin

[viscid jolt]

i love shortbread tins so much they've always got such pretty images on em

if ur shortbread tin doesn't have a pretty picture on it i'm NOT buying

[agile cradle]

the only downside, you pay the christmas deer picture tax🤣 they're so expensive this time of year

[viscid jolt]

why does it feel like steam wants me to buy crypto or an nft with this design

[agile cradle]

valvecoin

[viscid jolt]

deeply cryptocoded graphic design

[agile cradle]

this is the first year i've ever had payday on black friday

and well

i cant afford it anyway

im still gonna miss out lmfao

[woeful forum]

Why not?
Also if I recall correctly, Steam hires a new artist every year.

[agile cradle]

because crypto space art makes me wish the world ended when the mayans said so

crypto and NFTs as a whole tbh, that space of the internet is hell.

[austere wigeon]

Then I couldn’t spend way to much time grinding in cotw

And getting my 3rd great one this week

And that’s no fun

[viscid jolt]

I’ve really enjoyed the previous sale illustrations but haven’t found any artist credits or I may just be blind 😭

[agile cradle]

um rule 9 buddy

i have to imagine that was thrown together quickly

its triangles on a supernova

[austere wigeon]

Nuh uh! One was a 500 kill grind… second was finishing up a 2.2k grind… and then today’s was a 150 kill grind

[agile cradle]

i like the *admittedly loose use of the term "holiday"

in the graphic

[viscid jolt]

Just doesn’t feel like it stands out to me (positively anyway) when other sales have had much more effective design , doesn’t scream Black Friday , feels more .. X..

[agile cradle]

Elon Musk bought steam

[austere wigeon]

Wait it’s 4am are we talking graphic design

[viscid jolt]

Yea ! Tho it’s silly against this very . Stoic design

[viscid jolt]

I don’t know

I like analysing design

[agile cradle]

yes the steam black friday sale design

[viscid jolt]

I studied it for a few years

[austere wigeon]

Ohhhh

[agile cradle]

it looks like an advert for another scamcoin

[woeful forum]

Art credits only show up on trading cards, and black Friday sale doesn't have those.

[austere wigeon]

Goodnight it’s 4am and I killed my wolf 😭 me tired

[viscid jolt]

No trading cards no whimsy 💔💔

[viscid jolt]

Gooodnight

[agile cradle]

it was created by their in house team

and very quickly rushed too as they didnt even warn devs

[half rapids]

Its a promo for GabeBucks

[agile cradle]

GabeNFT

[viscid jolt]

I don’t think the design looks bad it just doesn’t get the right vibe across to me but that’s a consequence of .. yaknow. Modern internet

I love then the designs take over the whole store page with a flowing graphic

[half rapids]

Too much corpo minimalism

[viscid jolt]

The erm . Ohh my gosh what was it .. with the fish??? …

I loved that

[viscid jolt]

Like .. there was .
Fish

Dude I’m really bad at explaining HELP

fishing fest I think

[agile cradle]

oh this is their first ever black friday sale

[viscid jolt]

Ohh . Testing the waters I see

[agile cradle]

lot of googling seems to show no indie devs had any warning this sale was even coming

when usually they get those a week ish in advance

[viscid jolt]

Yea maybe less on the . Corporate . And more on the . Yippey! Yay! Vibe

[agile cradle]

it jus seems like worlds biggest rush job to me

[viscid jolt]

How I’m gonna be in a UX board meeting going

“ MORE YIPPEY YAY”

The user needs to experience the yippey yay

[agile cradle]

push it now think about it later type deal

[viscid jolt]

i know him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[final sierra]

#🦝︴off-topic

[viscid jolt]

there are fish in scotland.

joking. we know that's not true.. finnneeee boss!

[agile cradle]

well according to our lord and saviour John Muleston, fish are CIA operatives

[half rapids]

The Scots dont need fishing rods, they just yell at the wee buggers until they jump out

[viscid jolt]

this will be a new mechanic trust

[mighty dove]

Good morning

[agile cradle]

silly americans being in another timezone

[limber cliff]

Afternoon~

[lament vault]

Hi

You come to make sure the children are not ripping each other apart?

[limber cliff]

yes

[mighty dove]

I will unsolicitely DM you

[agile cradle]

how dare you.

[glacial flame]

Lmaooo

[agile cradle]

this is true, i once screamed at a pike and he apologised

[agile cradle]

i suggest they add a couple rally cars and let us make our own stages on scotland map

give us Colin McCraes Scooby

[tight raven]

@final sierra

I hav a question

[night trench]

7,3 on the history test

[tight raven]

Will there be any backfills this update?

[frozen parrot]

the other developer said something along the lines of: ''its something were interested in'''but it was for a NEM backfill question

[bright estuary]

So black grouse on Scotland ?

[lament vault]

I think so

[queen pasture]

Good morning Scotland

[lament vault]

Hello

[queen pasture]

I need 400 milligrams of caffeine to get me through today

Does anyone have an entire case of white monster?

[lament vault]

You might be cooked

[queen pasture]

Especially after a 7 hour trip, getting home at midnight and then back up at 7:15 to leave for a doctors appointment!

(I’m gonna collapse by 8:00pm)

[lament vault]

Yip

[queen pasture]

But anyways

I wanna see new great one

[lament vault]

Imagine very big pig

[queen pasture]

Pot belly pig

Great one

🥳🥳🥳

[lament vault]

Lmao

I’m definitely going to be hunting for him

[queen pasture]

Piglin from Minecraft new great one

It fights back

Gotta like fist fight it or something

[lament vault]

Ye

[frozen parrot]

is it going to be boar or roe deer? and is it confirmed

[lament vault]

50-50

Either one I will be happy with

But I’m very sure it will be boar

But I will be happy to be wrong

I love roe and I love hunting them irl

[frozen parrot]

i think your right on the GO boar but for me to i would love to see a roe GO

[lament vault]

So ye

[dim saffron]

I want feral goats g1

https://tenor.com/view/please7tv-please-beg-pray-hope-gif-3860103425950934673

[lament vault]

Bro is barking up a tree that does not exist

[frozen parrot]

I also really like those realistic GO's not the magical ones with the magical furs that could just be me tho

[frozen parrot]

arent they like on 2 maps

[dim saffron]

3 maps

[frozen parrot]

EC, this scotland map and

[dim saffron]

Te Awaroa

[frozen parrot]

oooh didnt know that

[dim saffron]

🥺

[frozen parrot]

never touched TA

grinder heaven

[lament vault]

Yessss

[dim saffron]

I grind goats there

310 max levels

[frozen parrot]

scotland is going to be a grinders heaven to i think with those highlands

[dim saffron]

Idk

We will have to see

[lament vault]

I’m just going to be walking around shooting stuff if I’m real with you

[frozen parrot]

oh my how many hours do you have on the game😭

[dim saffron]

1500

[frozen parrot]

lol me to basically my playstyle

[lament vault]

Lmao

[dim saffron]

In 8 years

[frozen parrot]

is there a realistic GO?

[lament vault]

I only got like 36 days or a bit more

[lament vault]

Red deer

Pretty realistic

[frozen parrot]

oh yeah that one is cool, shame its just 1 type tho

[dim saffron]

Average of a week by year

[lament vault]

True

[dim saffron]

In playtime

[lament vault]

Lmao

I think I’ve been playing for three years

Maybe more though low key

[dim saffron]

Some players have 9000 hours (aka more than a year of playtime…. Yes playtime)

[paper locust]

I haven't even crossed 200 yet. Long way to go lol

[lament vault]

Gosh, darn, brother

[lament vault]

But a child😌

[frozen parrot]

i just have like 60 hours

and 2 diamonds 1 rare

[lament vault]

Haven’t even taken first step yet

[frozen parrot]

lol

[lament vault]

lol

[frozen parrot]

im enjoying the game tho

[lament vault]

Low key, one of the best games

[dim saffron]

That’s all that matters 🙂

[lament vault]

Fr

It is kind of easy to break muntjac bones

[frozen parrot]

its a really nice game yes especially since i dont live a walking distance from a forest of some sorts sometimes its just fun to get into the game and walk around

[lament vault]

I broke one with the back of a knife

[frozen parrot]

irl?

[lament vault]

Yes I irl hunt

[frozen parrot]

are you going to eat it? because your breaking the bones

[lament vault]

I have killed 4 this year

[frozen parrot]

didnt know you were allowed to hunt in UK

[lament vault]

It’s already been eaten only got a bit of the backbone and backstrap left

[lament vault]

😭

Most professional deer hunters in the UK will kill more deer than anyone in the US ever will

[frozen parrot]

i feel like only americans actually hunt those redneck types

but that sounds dumb maybe

[lament vault]

Just a little bit, but it’s OK

[frozen parrot]

here in nl i only see pheasant hunters once a 2 years

[lament vault]

Damn

[frozen parrot]

but its cool to know that you can hunt in UK

[lament vault]

Lmao

[frozen parrot]

always wanted to hunt once irl in my life

[lament vault]

Whereabouts do you live?

I might be able to hook you up with a guide

[frozen parrot]

well in the ntherlands

so its pretty far

[lament vault]

Damn never mind you’re cooked

[frozen parrot]

lol yeah

i guess i can go on a pheasant hunt once or rabbit

[lament vault]

Actually thinking about it, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Germany, and technically France all have decent hunting if you know where to look

Oh yeah, and Poland

[frozen parrot]

germany isnt that far away

2 hour dirive maybe

to the border

[lament vault]

Yeah, they hunt wild boar, roe, red stag, and fellow that’s what I can remember off the top of my head

[frozen parrot]

good to know

thanks!

[lament vault]

They definitely hunt other things, but that’s basically what I would hunt if I went there

[lament vault]

No problem

[fierce bay]

I asked chaplain yesterday about backfills, he said theyre have not planned any for now.

I hope we get the map revealed today

[frank skiff]

the map is already revealed, no?

unless you mean the actual map layout

[frozen parrot]

im really curious about it, i think its going to be somewhat like sundar, with highlands, lowlands, midlands and forest in the south or north

[fierce bay]

No way whats the location 😱

Just kidding i mean the reserve map

[frank skiff]

yeah i’m hoping for a smaller map tbh, my low attention span can’t handle having to travel for that long 😭

[paper locust]

It'll be a full-size map

They revealed that during the last q&a

[agile cradle]

what dog can flush animals? is it jus all of em or

[trail totem]

Pointer

[frozen parrot]

shorthaired pointer

[paper locust]

I mean technically all

[trail totem]

Or dogs with specials maxed out

[frozen parrot]

but i think you can train them all

[paper locust]

But the pointer has it naturally

[frozen parrot]

can the retriever retrieve and point?

[paper locust]

Works on the other two when skilled to pointer

[uneven bloom]

You can set it to via the "expert dog" after the retrieving skill is maxed out

[jade thicket]

master dog at level 15

i have a guide on it on youtube

[kind lava]

Vivi, for the Scotland map, will content creators get more than one day of early access?

[quiet mantle]

What will the price be?

[brisk mauve]

same as the other new maps

[radiant wren]

Pretty sure they said $11.99 USD or something like that

Won’t be more. That’s for sure

[quiet mantle]

Thats like uh 13 euros right

[fierce bay]

Content creators always had more then one day early Access, they just werent allowed to post to post earlier for "small" dlcs. For maps they can post the EA vids the friday before release, so 5th of december

[jade thicket]

it normally starts on the friday before launch embargo day

that footage can be released

[jade thicket]

sometimes its short access sometimes its longer

just depends

[fierce bay]

Yeah, if i'm not mistaken you posted a Video "we got earliy acces for sundarpatan" like two or three weeks before the realease

[jade thicket]

sometimes its only one or two days before

just depends

not always the same

but 99 percent of the time the footage is normally shown on the friday before launch so id expect next friday for that to happen

[craggy mango]

do we know what the greatone is for the new map?

[uneven bloom]

Not yet

[craggy mango]

are they adding a new fur type to red deer GO's?

[uneven bloom]

No one knows yet.

[fierce bay]

Why is this chat so dead

There was no quiete Minute with Alberta

[uneven bloom]

probably because it's prime at-work hours for the part of the world that's awake rn

[fierce bay]

Yeah but wouldnt been the same for Alberta Chat?

There were always atleast 100 messages within ine hour

[radiant wren]

Probs just different folks in different areas excited about different things

But also it’s the holiday season rn. For Americans it’s 2 days before thanksgiving and all

1 day sorry I’m still on yesterdays time

[paper locust]

1 day

oh im slow

You already corrected 😂

Maybe I should focus on finishing my breakfast first and having some more caffeine

[quaint lintel]

Let's talk June 2026, what map are we thinking?

[uneven bloom]

Too early to even think about that imo

[fierce bay]

Germany 3.0

[radiant wren]

Literally in the same boat. Cheers lol

[paper locust]

Idk about june but I'm feeling either updated Savanna or new Africa next year

[radiant wren]

https://tenor.com/view/greys-anatomy-derek-shepherd-we-all-are-patrick-dempsey-gif-25757811

[uneven bloom]

I'd love a Salz-style Florida map to go with TLC'd older maps (Hirsch, Layton, Medved, Vurhonga)

the single-frame door animations on the first three, man...

[radiant wren]

I don’t even give a single rat hair about the Africa maps + the current roster people want, but by god if that isn’t the most requested thing

[fierce bay]

I'll take anything that would improve hirsch

[uneven bloom]

Layton desperately needs another pass done on its coyote distribution

[radiant wren]

I’d take that over getting stuck in the entryway/outposts on salz/sundar and such

My characters fat body doesn’t fit through them when I just open one door

It makes me open two 😭🙏🏻on controller

It’s so dumb it just feels like the biggest annoyance when it happens

[pearl sierra]

Hehe I get today off

[quaint lintel]

Technically this was Germany 3.0 but a good one lol

[paper locust]

I honestly just want Zebras 😂

[quaint lintel]

Lodge rework = lodge DLC in March with XXXL placks = Africa 2.0 in June

[paper locust]

Probably my most desired animal right now outside of squirrels

[radiant wren]

Homie this is Scotland, not Germany lmao

We rly do need a lodge rework. Bad.

Thankful for what we’ve seen so far. I’m still hoping for a proper new lodge tho

[radiant wren]

Those would be cute!! I think I saw someone make a zebra suggestion not long ago
P sure deity was making art for one? Not sure

I’d just like more critters 🥹 if they could keep expanding on species variety it would be golden

[verbal peak]

How is this Germany 3.0

[paper locust]

Hyenas I'd also enjoy

[radiant wren]

Yessss

[uneven bloom]

hyenas would def be fun

[limber cliff]

I would love yeens

[lament helm]

I also want to hunt hyenas

And cheetahs and leopards

[uneven bloom]

I'd be cringing at cheetahs being put in, ngl

actively declining population in the wild

[pearl sierra]

Cheetas

No, yes too lions, elephant, hippos, crocs, and leopards yes

But cheetas

[uneven bloom]

cheetahs literally stress themselves into miscarriages

[potent bane]

I say no to all these

Gimmie antelopes

[pearl sierra]

Yes

That but those to

[potent bane]

Crocs are fine tho

[paper locust]

I think it would be cool to have a cheetah sighting in a mission. But not as a hunt

[uneven bloom]

Nile crocs would be great

[dusky wolf]

We have tigers 💀

[pearl sierra]

They are rising

[uneven bloom]

Stable and growing population in Nepal to the point where population controls are being discussed

[pearl sierra]

In some places

[uneven bloom]

Snow leopards are also very stable in that region IRL

[pearl sierra]

They are rising so, bengals and siberans are okay

[potent bane]

Siberian tigers in medved hehehe

[pearl sierra]

No

[uneven bloom]

ehhhh

[tawdry juniper]

Siberians are declining no?

[uneven bloom]

Siberian tigers aren't doing nearly as well as Bengals

[potent bane]

They wouldn't fit

I'd love siberian roe

[pearl sierra]

And they don't live there

[uneven bloom]

nor is their range anywhere near where Medved is, yeah

[potent bane]

Yes ik

[uneven bloom]

dark red is where they're found as of now

light red is former range

[potent bane]

The thought is fun

Hunting bears and a tiger murders u

I see them as more of a jungle animal so it would feel out of place

[potent bane]

Yeh

Is medved that north?

[uneven bloom]

North-Central Siberia according to the in-game world map

[potent bane]

Ah

[stone pine]

When do you think we figure out the g1

[uneven bloom]

Reveal likely next week

[stone pine]

Tuesday probably?

[uneven bloom]

yep

[potent bane]

Wish they'd skip the reveal and let us find it ourselves like with red but too many cheaters these days :(

[uneven bloom]

used to be that they'd leave it for the community to figure out, but - yeah, exactly

[stone pine]

Sadly

[potent bane]

Brain connect

[uneven bloom]

-# the first GO red was hacked and the guy tried passing it off as legit, but it was a normal fur and not the Fabled Spotted.

[stone pine]

I still behind 2 g1 bc I’m on a 5k mile deer grind

[potent bane]

Didn't they all spawn dead and botched

[stone pine]

Yea

[uneven bloom]

that was also an issue

[stone pine]

Lady found one like that

[uneven bloom]

I forget what the trigger was

[radiant wren]

Oh that’s still a current issue too

[uneven bloom]

really? I haven't heard a single person complaining about it

[potent bane]

What?

[uneven bloom]

and if that was still happening we'd absolutely have had people screeching about it here

[radiant wren]

Ran across it the other day. Someone was asking how I the world their g1 wolf spawned in but they never saw it, and when they did see it dead, it was botched. They couldn’t even claim it for themselves, it was as if someone else shot it but the name was blank

Rule 9 shenanigans

[uneven bloom]

yeah that's my guess

[radiant wren]

They refused to send in a ticket which is another reason I say that lol

Very adamant against it and sending their files in but refused to expand further

[uneven bloom]

not a current issue if them messing with their game files is what caused it

[radiant wren]

Crazy people do things like that and then wonder why their game is messing up

[potent bane]

Guys I messed with the game files in a game that doesn't allow it why is it broken

[radiant wren]

It’s still present in terms of someone messing with files causing it
I was referencing this in relation to the red deer worm mentioned being spawned in botched/dead bc of rule 9 violations lol

[uneven bloom]

the way you phrased it makes it sound like it's actively happening to people who play legit

[radiant wren]

It’s not a normal game bug, no, but it’s still one for people who mess with things lol that was all I was sayin

[tight raven]

I had a dream

[radiant wren]

Nope. I was replying to a comment about rule 9 stuff 🙃

[uneven bloom]

be more accurate to say "it can still happen if you do dumb things"

[tight raven]

That i got leucistic gold scoring euro rabbit

[potent bane]

Either way it's clarified now

[delicate peak]

Guys what y’all know about the water horse

[paper locust]

It's also a huge marketing beat tbh. It makes sense they wouldn't hide it

[novel galleon]

Hi

[novel galleon]

What ones in the middle of europe?

[uneven bloom]

Hirsch, I believe

[novel galleon]

Hirsch is german

[uneven bloom]

yeah

[novel galleon]

Maybe salzwein?

[novel galleon]

Oh wow

[uneven bloom]

Salz is the one above it

[novel galleon]

Oh cool

[echo lodge]

Salz's German too

[verbal peak]

Does anyone else think that Tor Nan Sithean will be a top 5 map? Or am I alone in that thought.

[paper locust]

I've a feeling it's going to sit in my top 3

[echo lodge]

Might be top3 ngl

[novel galleon]

Yeah i thought that hirsch was bavaria tho

[verbal peak]

I mean it’s the ultimate European map

[echo lodge]

Probably top 2

Only loosing to sundar

[verbal peak]

I doubt they’ll touch Europe for a while after Scotland

[novel galleon]

As a scot it looks very accurate

[potent bane]

Romania with ibex and chamois when

[echo lodge]

It really seems like ITS gonna be essentially a better rev+te

[paper locust]

I love both the reds and fallow. Excited to have a chance to hunt sika. Hyped for the mink, badger, and marten. Then there's the visuals and history of the area which is a whole other tier of awesome

[echo lodge]

Indeed

[potent bane]

Roe rework 🗣🗣🗣

[echo lodge]

In terms of looks

[uneven bloom]

I'd kill for a COTW rendition of Classic's Val-des-Bois

[verbal peak]

I love the abundance of upland game birds too

[echo lodge]

Only ones that can compete with it

Are nem e yukon

[uneven bloom]

fun thing about Hirsch: the actual "Hirschfelden" region of the map is in fact Classic's Hirsch

[echo lodge]

It has one of The best lineups

[verbal peak]

I’ve been getting bored of the waterfowl tbh

[potent bane]

I love upland birds when you don't have to flush them

[echo lodge]

We'll Just have to see the lake layouts and stuff

[verbal peak]

Holy ragebait

[echo lodge]

Wonder How red grouses Will work

[echo lodge]

Wut exactly IS ragebait there?

[verbal peak]

They’ll be the same as black grouse

[echo lodge]

Saying that nem looks good?

[uneven bloom]

most likely have to be shot airborne, since they're a type of ptarmigan

[novel galleon]

I hope the Caisteal an eilein counts as a house

[echo lodge]

Exactly what im thinking

[verbal peak]

Nvm I missed the ‘in terms of looks’ part

[echo lodge]

Oh

Ok

Lol

[violet basin]

when’s this map drop I haven’t really looked into it

[echo lodge]

Nems cool But nowhere near top5 imo

[echo lodge]

Dec 9th

[echo lodge]

But

The map's gorgeous

[novel galleon]

Looks pretty accurate

[echo lodge]

Oh

I was actually talking about nem there

But yeah

Torr's absolutely gorgeous

[novel galleon]

Fr

The highlands have a certain tone of colour to them

[echo lodge]

Yeah

[novel galleon]

Its always yellow

It looks beautiful dont get me wrong

But sometimes it can be a bit dull

[echo lodge]

I actually really like The greenish/orangeish tone gradient

[novel galleon]

If it was more green

[echo lodge]

We'll see once ITS out i guess

But

[novel galleon]

I wonder if it will have snow like yukon

[echo lodge]

Idk

[paper locust]

@uneven bloom I have confirmed I am in Spreeburg and the bow I used was the Bearclaw Lite CB-60. Going to swap to the other one and see if it works

[echo lodge]

I Feel like they would have added reindeer's If It had a snowy area

[uneven bloom]

there's approximately 150 reindeer total in Scotland and they're all in one national park

[novel galleon]

They have red deer tho

[echo lodge]

150?

[novel galleon]

Cairngorms

?

[uneven bloom]

I believe so. going off what I remember from the other times it's been brought up here

[novel galleon]

All the capers and wildcats are in the cairngorms too

They have special breeding programmes for them

[echo lodge]

Oh ye

Mixed It with norway's reindeer pop

Mb

[paper locust]

Hmm... I wonder... I haven't bought the Razorback. What do you want to bet that the Bearclaw will work if I just buy the Razorback and don't use it?

[novel galleon]

It would make sense that they would add red deer

As its the scottish red deer lol

[thorn jacinth]

do we have a list of all the species on the map

[echo lodge]

Ye

ITS pinned iirc

[hollow tundra]

is there a full species list somewhere?

[echo lodge]

Damm

[echo lodge]

You dont even need to Go UP in messages 🥲

[mighty slate]

old convo but it'll probably be this for me

1. EC
2. Torr
3. Askiy

i love all of the species and everything we've seen is just right up my alley im very very excited for this map

[limber cliff]

We haven't got it 100% confirmed - but we I think have visually seen or had announcements about the one Janny compiled

• it is in the pins
• one of the animals is unseen/unconfirmed last I saw

[jade thicket]

-Roe deer (Remodel)
-Red deer (Remodel)
-Sika deer
-Feral goat
-European badger (N)
-Pine Marten (N)
-American mink(N)
-Western capercaillie
-Red grouse(N)
-Eurasian woodcock(N)
-Eurasian wigeon
-Fallow deer
-Wild boar (remodel)
-Red fox
-Ring necked pheasant
-Mountain hare
-Black grouse

[echo lodge]

Didnt vivi confirm the list was right Tho?

[hollow tundra]

thanks ron

[hollow tundra]

ok

[echo lodge]

Id say

1. Sundar
2. Torr
3. Rev

With ec and askiy at top 4 e 5

[digital quartz]

1. NEM
2. Torr
3. Askiy

[echo lodge]

Askiy e ec are really Nice at first

But they dont age well imo

[limber cliff]

Yeah but we weren't sure on black grouse last I heard - or rather, she had not said yes def to the grouse

[coarse lintel]

I ain’t gonna rank this map until I play it and see how everything is. Also still need to see what new g1 we get

[uneven bloom]

I think it's safe to consider the grouse more likely than the caper

[limber cliff]

probs

[uneven bloom]

that'll make 3 maps for those

[coarse lintel]

Better then adding mallards

[uneven bloom]

-# dark horse candidate for G1?

[coarse lintel]

I’m hoping for a sika g1

[austere wigeon]

There’s no horses in Scotland to hunt

Smh

[limber cliff]

gods, imagine the remodel potential for sika if they're the GO

[uneven bloom]

'tis a saying

[amber kiln]

Mallard g1?

[uneven bloom]

"dark horse" meaning something unexpected

black grouse would be an interesting second bird g1

[limber cliff]

the model didn't look bad
Just needed a lil touch up cos it's reaching the beginning of 'old graphics' territory

[thorn jacinth]

What’s so cool about this map

[amber kiln]

Please😩 the red spotted model may be the one that shows the age the most

[uneven bloom]

...actually

[viscid jolt]

Ew needs to drop everything and remodel the jackal

[uneven bloom]

with how this is going to be the 3rd GO this year

[thorn jacinth]

It didn’t end up being that cool imo

[viscid jolt]

3 GOs in a year is bonkers

Genuinely

[uneven bloom]

half expecting this one to be like the red in that it only has the one fur/plumage type

[thorn jacinth]

The map looks cool from what im seeing

Species are eh

[coarse lintel]

All of Africa*

[thorn jacinth]

I’d play it and like it for sure but it’s not top 2

[austere wigeon]

YES!!!!

[austere wigeon]

That would not end well 😭

[tawdry juniper]

Even more bonkers if we end up getting more reds

[limber cliff]

it wouldn't be the WORST thing to happen - but yeah, the bar is high when they gift us 6+ furs per thingy

[austere wigeon]

True but no one’s making them give us 3 g1s a year

[hollow tundra]

YES

id rather have 1 or 2 really good ones a year than 3 meh ones

[austere wigeon]

Yasssss

[hollow tundra]

we had fox, pheasant, mule and wolves this year right? so thats 4

and theyre all meh

[limber cliff]

Yeah well YOU'RE ... also ... meh.

[hollow tundra]

aw 😥

[austere wigeon]

Holy airball 😭✌️

[limber cliff]

it's only cos you're human

[austere wigeon]

Wolf best g1 ever released

[hollow tundra]

im very picky

[austere wigeon]

We can tell 😭✌️

Sorry 😭

[hollow tundra]

ok bruh 😭 ✌️

[limber cliff]

Fr, my dog in game irl

[coarse lintel]

foxes and pheasants came out in Dec of 2024

[hollow tundra]

oh yeah

silly me

[limber cliff]

ty Jonny

[hollow tundra]

my brain only keeps info on fish things

[quiet mantle]

We lowk need a remodel for the racks for whitetail

[coarse lintel]

Ik this because I’ve been shooting foxes since then and finally got my g1 Monday 😂😭 I never want to grind pairs ever again

[limber cliff]

lowk miss the legacy look

[quiet mantle]

Idkinda like the racks a lil less over the top yk

Like moe realistis

[hollow tundra]

yeah and blacktail, and a bunch of other things

[quiet mantle]

Lealistic

[austere wigeon]

Cleaner tbh

[austere wigeon]

IM SORRRYYY

[hollow tundra]

its ok 😂

i was making fun

i cant do anything i want here! (jk)

[potent bane]

[pine lily]

sup cervid

you excited for woodcock and red grouse?

[hollow tundra]

never heard of those I'm gonna be honest 😂

[pine lily]

lmfao, woodcock is the dancing bird that does the funky jig and red grouse/scottish grouse are relatives of willow ptarmigan

[hollow tundra]

oh cool, ive seen the dancing ones before, the red one looks like the rare willow (probably the same thing basically)

[uneven bloom]

I can already see the "oh it's just a red grou-WAIT A MINUTE"

[limber cliff]

Like cousins or something

[echo lodge]

Caper was on The trailer tho

[uneven bloom]

there's some who think that might've been a grouse under odd lighting

plus Vivi's hinted that we got the full list figured out in the pins

[echo lodge]

Too chunky for a grouse

[echo lodge]

The list includes caper no?

[pine lily]

more or less, although red grouse were recently reclassified as a species of their own

there were arguments in prior years about validity

[austere wigeon]

HOLY BALLS NEW G1!!!!1!!111!1!1!1!1!1!1!1

[echo lodge]

Caper's on The list...

[pine lily]

but genomic studies confirmed it this october

[uneven bloom]

dyxlexia fail

[echo lodge]

Lol

All good

[uneven bloom]

I'm a bit 😬 about caper ngl

[echo lodge]

The scene people were talking about Black grouse IS another one

Im pretty sure

[uneven bloom]

they're not doing so well population-wise in scotland

[viscid jolt]

I’m honestly just waiting for an official list as there’s a bit of debate about a few species

[echo lodge]

I mean

Caper's scotish population IS higher than nepal's snowie population

Even tho

[austere wigeon]

Just black grouse 😔✌️

[echo lodge]

Both are completely different

[uneven bloom]

I'd like an official list so we can nip any remaining debates before they explode

[echo lodge]

And 400 snowies are way "more" Than 500ish capers conservation'wise

[austere wigeon]

I see. AirDrop a breeding pair of snow leopards into Scotland

[viscid jolt]

Shrug I don’t see the snowies / tigers argument as suitable to apply to any species that may be in decline , it’s about how that specific animal can be tied into the story realistically

[paper locust]

Maybe Monday? 🤞🏻

[echo lodge]

But

[echo lodge]

Both have sensitive poppulations, thats it

[echo lodge]

The only one lacking confirmation IS the supposed Black grouse

The remaining 16 are confirmed already

[viscid jolt]

They’re very special cases and have massively reduced populations in game to emphasise this , as a general consumer wouldn’t give any care to a . Weeny little bird species if it had like 5 on the map to reflect its status

[echo lodge]

I mean

[viscid jolt]

I’m totally out of the loop haha I’ve just seen debating over some birds

[echo lodge]

Capers dont have huge poppulations anyways

[paper locust]

Imma laugh if it's not a black grouse and something totally random instead 😂

[echo lodge]

You didnt watch The trailer?

[paper locust]

Unlikely but

[echo lodge]

Could always be mallard

[viscid jolt]

I did I just do not have keen eyes LOLL

[echo lodge]

Or...

African Bush elephant

[viscid jolt]

Mallard SWEEP!!

https://tenor.com/view/mallard-duck-gif-flying-duck-mallard-gif-17358770788195061453

[echo lodge]

Well

16 species are confirmed tho

1 remaining

That people are saying its Black grouse

[viscid jolt]

How I’m gonna feel playing Scotland on steam deck if my pc doesn’t arrive in time

[echo lodge]

Due to a scene with only hens

That

[viscid jolt]

Just squinting REALLY hard at everything

[echo lodge]

We dont know if

ITS Black grouses

Or red grouse hens

[austere wigeon]

Mallard on this map or we (yes we) riot!

[viscid jolt]

Ah yea I think. I brought that up the other day actually . I am deeply forgetful

[viscid jolt]

Community activity

[echo lodge]

African Bush elephant*

Started shooting ALL my wt zones

Aparently all of them are taking about half an hour to respawn

Great

[viscid jolt]

Ive been shooting so many whitetail just wandering around Layton

Where’s my great one!

[viscid jolt]

This just crashed my discord

[paper locust]

-# worth it

[viscid jolt]

Moo cat creepy pawsta

[austere wigeon]

YES!

[lone forge]

Haven't played Tor yet but

1. Sundar
2. Torr
3. Mississippi or rev (depending on day
4. EC

Thats my top -:D

[austere wigeon]

Was hunger needed 109kg of venison

[echo lodge]

Goated list

[austere wigeon]

If Tòrr is good for grinding it will be top 5

Red deer, pheasant, and fox please pull through

[echo lodge]

Bruh

My deer arent respawninh

[austere wigeon]

Sorry ate them

[echo lodge]

Legit like

Only half My zones got respawns

Some only got 1

After almost 40min

[austere wigeon]

Most of my wt respawn only one male instead of both 😔 it’s awful

[echo lodge]

Great...

How Fun

[austere wigeon]

It just means the other one is a g1!

I think…

[echo lodge]

I sure Hope so

Im not doing a +2k inconsistent grind for wt

Long grind i can Deal with

Long inconsistent IS a no no

[uneven bloom]

It might also mean you have a megaherd starting to form somewhere

[echo lodge]

Doubt it

Only using 2/2 3/1 zones

[uneven bloom]

idk what that means

[echo lodge]

No way ALL of Them would have broken at The same time

And they're respawning

Just really slowly

[echo lodge]

2 males 2 females

[uneven bloom]

ah

[echo lodge]

3 males 1 female

Aka most consistent ones

[austere wigeon]

Lowkey why I stopped fallow for a bit

But I wasn’t shooting enough

I shot some 2s and now I can get a kill a minute

My wt are 50 kills a hour

So not awful could be better though

[radiant wren]

They can still bounce tbh

I’d check exteriors if I were you

[spark pine]

currently doing a restack and management after like 5k whitetail on my rev

[echo lodge]

As i said

They are respawning

Only taking way too long

Same thing happened with bear

[austere wigeon]

same 😔✌️

[uneven bloom]

still a good idea to scope around

[austere wigeon]

My bear I’m so grateful for, 60-70 kills a hour

[uneven bloom]

cover bases in advance

[radiant wren]

Might be running into the issue where it seems like they’re slow but they’re bouncing+the ones you’re seeing slowly are just respawning from other kills during your rotation.

Yea. If your respawns are slow you lose nothing by checking other zones lol

Either that or yknow they’re just being whitetail lol

[echo lodge]

Pretty unlikely all males bounced in the same rotation

[austere wigeon]

Whenever I go back to WT I have to recheck all water. I’m sure I’m probably missing something but I can’t prove it

[radiant wren]

It’s whitetail lol

[uneven bloom]

Unlikely does not mean impossible

[echo lodge]

Already checked a good amount of zones

[radiant wren]

You do you

You’re in here complaining about it so lol

Just possibilities

Hopefully they stop bein wacky but yk lol

[echo lodge]

And they respawned without checking exteriors

As i Said

Only taking long to respawn

[lament vault]

Lmao

[spark pine]

did anyone notice the rare badges in the newest vid?

[pine lily]

the what

show

show badge

[radiant wren]

Need to see this

[spark pine]

one sec

[pine lily]

SAME

[modest sparrow]

Cant believe we actually got a scotland reserve

Theres like no animals here i never thought we would get one

[radiant wren]

U mean the butt when it goes into the burrow?

I think it did look a bit diff but I chalked it up to lighting

[fierce bay]

These ?

[spark pine]

yep exactly

[fierce bay]

Yeah those defently are rare

[radiant wren]

Yes!! Love emmm

[spark pine]

i didn’t notice it before but flinter s video had covered it

[mighty slate]

The leucistic one is beautiful

[pine lily]

YOOOOOO

OFF-WHITE BADGER

[spark pine]

yeahh, i think new species rares are some of the most exciting things to go for, especially because most people will be focusing the new g1

[pine lily]

im glad to have a nice balanced map between medium, large, and small game

gives me hope for future species rosters

[brisk mauve]

Also no mallards

[pine lily]

valid

[weak smelt]

No mallards, ew is healing

[austere wigeon]

These are NOT rares 😭 100% cotw lighting

[spark pine]

nah they are

[austere wigeon]

Nah

Actually maybe the first, seems the face stripe is a grey as well. Not convinced though

[tight raven]

First one nah, but the second one

[austere wigeon]

I’m not buying the map then

[pearl sierra]

Ban yourself

[dusky wolf]

im also glad we dont got mallards

[mighty slate]

Mallards should be put on more maps 💯💯💯 they're not on enough

That first badger is so incredibly white i cant imagine it just being lighting 😭😭

Why am I having such a hard time producing coherent sentences do I need to go to the hospital

No it was correct wtf is up with me

[pearl sierra]

Mallards need to be exterminationed

[mighty slate]

Theyre on 6 maps lmao

[pearl sierra]

6 to many

[agile cradle]

you're an odd one

[pearl sierra]

*true one

[radiant wren]

No, I’m with em. Exterminate all mallards. I need that blonde

[pine lily]

yknow what I want

moar grouses and diving ducks

[radiant wren]

Yes.

[pearl sierra]

On my old map I destroyed all my mallard zones but one

[radiant wren]

You can’t really destroy em lol

[pearl sierra]

I was thinking poison gas

[pearl sierra]

I sure tried

[radiant wren]

Alrighty. That’s enough of that. 😬

[digital quartz]

You'll never guess where I am rn

[agile cradle]

yeah as i said, an odd one

[agile cradle]

chev to the lev?

[radiant wren]

I’m crying you actually clipped it to say that 😭

[agile cradle]

yes lmao lev was a great portion of this servers existence for a while so i got involved

chev to the lev was peak

[pearl sierra]

The mallard deserve death

[agile cradle]

mhm okay lil buddy i think its time for your melatonin

[pearl sierra]

[raw thistle]

Has the new great one been announced yet?

[pearl sierra]

No

[raw thistle]

Aw man, soon hopefully

[austere wigeon]

Ok, computer tell me what the next g1 is
Computer: no suprises, most likely a roe deer or boar, it’s a jigsaw falling into place for all base game animals getting a g1 and they are getting a remaster

[digital quartz]

I found some clams

No pictures though

[marble quartz]

guys guess what

[mighty slate]

Chicken butt

[marble quartz]

female albino tahr My first ever very rare

[digital quartz]

Ok

[marble quartz]

I thought you were be happy for me

[weak smelt]

Does this mean tahr are gonna be on scotland???

[marble quartz]

no but are you not happy for me

[twilit shore]

No he prob just lost

[twilit shore]

Got a few rares and very rares. Its not that Special

[weak smelt]

I think it means tahr are gonna be on scotland

[weak smelt]

It's a rare, so it is

Plus good for a multimount

[dim saffron]

Hell naw

[marble quartz]

I wanted to share this with you guys and you guys are not happy for it's my first ever getting one

[weak smelt]

I am

[marble quartz]

thank you

best part is my brother was there to see it

bye everyone I am going back to Hunt

[austere wigeon]

💯

[marble quartz]

are you happy for me

[summer bloom]

Nice! I like the albino tahr. I got the black fur type earlier this year

[marble quartz]

best part is my brother was there with me and it's my first very rare

[raven estuary]

Looks good but I dont think we needed minks

[summer bloom]

Nice! My dad was with me when I got my first rare

[marble quartz]

I am trying to get more money so I can actually put it in my lodge

[summer bloom]

Nice

[mighty slate]

Why not? They're regularly hunted

[raven estuary]

It opens doors for more unnecessary critters

Like squirrels

[mighty slate]

U can not be serious 💀

[raven estuary]

?

I am?

[mighty slate]

Look at dis dood

[half rapids]

Small fur bearing game had too much focus on rabbits and foxes. I much prefer the additional variety

[raw thistle]

More than likely it'll just be one big let down of a great one

[pine lily]

theyre cool and they swim

[mighty slate]

Unnecessary and squirrel in the same sentence I think me I am personally being ragebaited

[pine lily]

me want all forms of squirrel

[half rapids]

I'd love to see american badger and virginian opossum

[mighty slate]

Id love possums

[half rapids]

And potentially wolverines and honeybadgers

[austere wigeon]

Opossum now plz

[raven estuary]

@raven estuary no rage bait
