Have a good one all im off to hunt grizzlys I got a melanistic male and a albino female I need a diamond no sleep again tonight
Bighorn are the only animal you look at and go “wtf is that “
Yea
They look so bad
I mean i also do that to the high scoring mule deer rack
It makes 0 sense like they never googled a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep
The one that looks like a fuckin tree
SRP needs a fat re work
Yep
Physically and animals
- adjust animal pops while subsequently doubling the cash from rarer animals like mountain lion and mountain goat 2) add a big mountain area that bighorn live on, like in TGT classic
#1 goes with all maps
The high scoring mule deer rack needs to get out
^^
I really wonder how they got info for SRP
Cause a bunch of the lodges are named after stuff in my state, Utah
I can tell they googled stuff
But did they get any hands on info? Cause I gladly would have given them everything I know
For free
A onsite free info to give you local resident information to an ecosystem half way across the world would be nice
And refined small details about where animals live and how they do it
Has the clue been found?
here's the clue image source resolution in case anyone wants to zoom in
Was just browsing Facebook and saw this??
How old is that post?
because if it's an older post it's probably referencing Te Arowa (or however you spell it)
probably SRP from the image
That was a old srp ad
I’ve been getting this one too. It just replaced the previous Te Awaroa release sponsored ad.
i dont think so
maybe?
Wait oh shit
that was a newspaper which have adds
holy crap
intense theory time
COTW released the news paper to throw everyone off guard. Te Awaroa is a small map and honestly lacking. Sika deer and goats are like the only brand new animal, and the map is small. People have always wanted a duck map like the Bayou in The hunter: Classic
They just released a survey about duck hunting, and not to mention that "add" newspaper has what looks like the silver ridge peaks logo, and what does that add picture? an elk on silver ridge peaks
Were getting a new map cause EW decided to get tricky with the hints, my god im a genuis
it all makes sense
have any other clues been found besides the torn up paper and text channel description?
I like Te Awaroa. bow hunting red deer FTW
Dang, they still haven't released another hint? Either their cards are on the table already or whatever they are hinting about isn't going to be here anytime soon
Good theory blue
Well the picture clearly shows benches and something that looks like a chair - leads to the idea that you get a new stance and will be able to sit down correctly in appropriate places - hides, tree stands, rocks... A whole new multiplayer experience - sitting together in a hide instead of walking around the stand the whole time... 😁
On the other hand - you could sit together with the others at the lodge and enjoy the evening after a loooong hunting day. Would imply to implement fridges and cold beer also... 🤣
Or a fix
could be a hole
3 Word header definetely starts with an capital L
middle word consists of 3 or less characters
Only if the image was in a higher resolution 😦
This was a thought I had too- made a little video about the survey because I wondered if they’re linked. So cool I’m not the only one thinking it!
A proper duck hunting map would be brilliant
Looks like 4 words. Going from the larger pic further up, my guess it says “Layton fix for WT”. Last word looks like WT.
I was about to say that too
It looks like 4
but the last letter looks more like a Z to me than a T
W I would agree on tho
That’s a very extensive reach ngl
Mainly cause the whole right half doesn’t look like a dog
You seem to have confirmation bias, where instead of looking at the clues to get an answer you try to force an answer into clues
Obviously there’s hints that could be dogs
But the shape of a dog in the paper? Either the model team is on strike or they just never thought of that
All I see there is the word door. Nice doodling though Ormy.
Or is it the word poor.

Or I'm just having a lot of fun? 😛
needs rick grimes full csi zoom
You sure it's not boor? 😛
Layton fix for WhiteTail
Maybe, but it’s a stretch
Whitetail have been showing up late and are making level 4 and 5 so a fix would be great
so im sure we will see something today or tomorrow
since they do a stream and also they usually post a pic of the stream
so idk if they will release the info on what it is this week or next week
but we will 100 percent see something new about whatever this is within 2 days
yeah its known about. i gave them my cotw save to look at recently and i believe they know how to fix the overweight ones. wasnt given a time frame though
whitetail do turn up late to drinking need zones. they are constantly travelling. for the time being start later say 2 30pm
Ok so it doesn't seem like the pic they showed today had anything
We shall wait for tomorrow
maybe a new clue on stream
Yeah that's what I'm thinking
Either that or they say something is coming out this week
And from me investigating clues and their release dates and what not they usually post a clue on Friday
I'm pretty good at guessing the clues but this one is super hard because there's not much too it
I knew there would be parque
And lions
And I said british columbia when it was yukon
So pretty close
But we can't really say too much about this until we see what it is
When I mean see what it is I mean a clue
It's pretty exciting tho
i can hardly think of places we don't have a reserve for yet
except for asia i guess
an Asian map would unfortunately probably be Red Deer Locale #5
Was that always there or am I just dumb?
That's always been there, yeah
nope not always, it's an old hint
It's a cuatro colinas hint
Oh okey sorry
New map: Sweden perhaps? The "home" of the parent company -Avalanche Studio.
Why not?
is there any animals we don't already have?
It's not going to be a map
^ agreed. Getting a new map this soon is almost impossible. They usually release a map every 6 months so we can expect next one at summer. Smaller dlc like weapon pack is more likely.
Last year was different tho. The was no additional dlc between SRP and Awaroa.
I think that's because of the rabbits on hirshfeldin
I think next is going to be weopan pack or dog dlc
Dogs shouldn't be a dlc tho
Dogs should be a dlc in my opinion
they're building dogs from scratch, they're gonna charge money for it lol
Is it just me or do the last two letters look like NZ. New Zealand. Tahr?
GO mulies
It’s a newspaper with the silver ridge peaks logo on it and mule deer are the only species on there with a chance of getting great ones and the black buck background was parque which has mulies
The idea with SRP is a good idea, it really looks like it
But I dont feel like they would only release one GO at a time
u know what, i totally forgot about great ones
@mellow vapor Thinking devs forgot great Ones too lol
What?
I don't think they'll add another GO until the current one works as intended.
and that
I got a long shot idea if anyone wants to hear
The problem with tahr was hair physics, maybe this shows they figured out how to work that problem out
I don't shoot enough fox to see how much hair they have on thier stomachs lol
Probably wrong but just an idea
What is wrong with the current great one? I'm a bit out of the loop on it
That wouldnt be the issue stopping them from adding more
They are not spawning correctly.
which is why we need smaller non typs around
People shot some lvl 4 overweight WT
That would make more sense. I can only imagine how much they had to break their current level system to add the great one in
Also, looks about normal @golden edge
That doesn't look like it was killed recently
It is the same model they have used for awhile
My bet is on dogs based on the torn newspaper.
A new great one is a very risky thing to do it adds the possibility of ruining the mule deer if that’s the species they go with
It could be dogs but it’s reading into the torn paper a lot
It's not more than reading anything else.
Good point
I hope it’s a new species and not dogs
The just don’t see the point in adding them
I mean. I don't think we need them either.
It is his another mechanic that could potentially break the game
It is just another
Not it’s his another
And with questionable usefulness in my opinion. But people want them, so they'll deliver it at some point. I think contrary what some people think EW is very good at listening to their audience.
They do listen but people want everything to instantly be fixed when they ask and they don’t think about the logistics that have to go into the development of a game like this
They can’t get whitetail deer right. Like hell they should even THINK another great one
There’s a lot of bugs that should have never happened, I think that’s were people get mad
Yes, but do all these people getting mad know about coding and such?
you can't really say "never should have happened" unless you know what exactly goes into putting the game together.
I don’t need to no shit except that longer release times w/o bugs and lodges disappearing is 100x better then crappy rushed updates that destroy everything
Can I code? Hell no
Can the devs? Ofc
Idc if there slow, fast, whatever, but making mistakes doesn’t have an excuse, just have longer betas and more thorough testing
They fix bugs all the time, just do it before they’re released
yea but then you'd miss your release window. there's marketing and projected sales and what not
'just fix it' doesn't really fly, code bugs are weird to solve
finding out what's going wrong in the first place is a challenge
we’ve had bugs since the launch of the game
shoulda been able to fix em by now
no hate I’m just saying that’s why people are getting mad no one wants to play a game with bugs
There's also the chance that there's bugs in the game engine.
Those can't be fixed.
and bugs aren't always constant either.
or easily reproducible
And that's why the bugs channel was turn from bunch of comments into a page guiding people towards the tickets system. Helps them with reports.
improvement!
Bugs is what makes the game more memeable
if it wasnt for the bugs who would ride the fallow does into the winter night sky with a magic sleigh and distribute presents?
Lol nice
if it wasnt for bugs who would have there lodges with there first diamonds, rares, and everything else they've accumulate?
Me, and a hell of a lot of other people
lol
its true tho
Problem is the support ticket system spews an auto generated email back at you then a few days later you get an email asking the same questions as the damn support ticket. So no it’s all broken. Just sends you in a circle wasting your time. Fix the damn game before pushing new content it’s getting ridiculous
it is what it is
No one says you have to play the game you know, if you're getting that upset over it being "broken".
and I say this as someone who's only really experienced one bug in my time playing the game so far.
Broken makes it funny. A friend and I were on Quatro at one point and found a slight mountain thing, and when i tried to drive over it with an atv it launched me across the map xD
I’ve got 4yrs invested in the game is the problem. It can be a great game has huge potential. Needs to be fixed
It will get fixed eventually. No need to get frustrated over little things
ok and? This game wasn’t made for “funny”
blog it
My friends and I play how we desire, you can play it how you desire. I enjoy it, and I will continue to enjoy it. Play how you want.
When the game constantly crashes and boots you to Home Screen or just doesn’t run at all I wouldn’t consider it a little thing.
Do you have Hunt Club Beta turned off? A few people reported that it can cause issues with crashing. It did for me and a lot of other people
I turned that off at one point and it deleted my game. So had to restart from lvl 1
That blows
I’ve literally tried everything.
What other fixes have you tried?
Even when I set my console to “play offline” it crashes out. No other game does this.
Re installed game sent support tickets taken off all dlc content and just tried to run base game
as bad as this sounds.. its most likely a fault on your side
So ya I’m at a loss as to why it does this.
a fault of the console
Ah, you're on console. I do not have any idea for how to solve issues with console based issues.
yea consoles are tricky, if something fails you cant just repair it quick
Console is fairly new. Everything else works seem less
Yea. I always update. Also have it set to auto update but check weekly just because.
That's good, im the same way on my rig. I do not know
I’ve also installed the game directly to the hard drive of my console and play. Then uninstalled and put it on my external drive to see if that would help. But made no difference so it is directly on hard drive of console again
Out of 30+ working and installed games this is the only one that has these crashing problems and losing progress.
I would check multiple resources to see if you can find a fix, even if you have, always double check. Never know if you might have skimmed over something by accident
Been through everything and anything I can come across to try and resolve it on my end.
Even booted up my old console and tried to play on it. Game crashed out to Home Screen after 15min
So also that was a way that I checked to make sure it wasn’t my main console crapping out.
did you try clearing cache and cookies on console? I clear my MAC address on my xbox biweekly or monthly. This might be a possible proble Snap
And how is this discussion related to the clues?
it doesn't sorry. I do think that because they took out the bug reporting discussion area, people are spilling it out throughout the whole discord server trying to get others to try to help? Not sure though as it could be better helped on the console channel actually.
Or help and tips
ok so if this destroyed paper teasing dogs it makes sense to put that paper into hirschfelden, cause if i am not wrong there is also this extremely loud (not adjustable) dog bark backroundsound on hirschfelden.
Well that's been in the game since release as ambient sound. Hirsch is located closer to people so you can hear human sounds like planes and chainsaws too.
yeah youre right but that makes in my opinion the most sense teasing dogs were always dogs are barking
Ooor they'll add something there what the community has been asking for years that would go well with the dog. I want to believe 😄
Like what?
Pheasant 🐦
yeah pheasants would be cool. Hirschfelden ?
That would make the most sense since the ripped paper is in Hirsch
But for gods sake let the pheasants behave like in classic. Just another Turkey animal would not be fun
That would be nice yea
i guess everyone is thinking dogs because "my dog ate my homework" is about as close as anything else to making sense of the torn up newspaper
i don't see how pheasants necessarily follow from torn paper
Hasn't there been a pheasant background sound on Hirsch for awhile? (Just making sure what I'm hearing is correct so that I know what to listen for)
pheasants would be rad
pheasants are cool, but wingshooting birds is pretty much impossible for me on PC. hopefully they'll fix shotguns
Its not the shotguns fault
Anything new in the stream?
no they don’t answer your questions
Lol what did you ask them
every thing that makes this game shit
Still best hunting game
not even close
Ok what do you think is the best
I was just chillin asking about clues. He came in fuming lol
the hunter classic
the never ending war between both the games confuses me so much
imagine, just imagine enjoying both games for what they are. I know its a foreign concept but just imagine
I have console so i dont really have a choice lol
i enjoy both but i got my reasons on why i like 1 game over the other
well that confirms it
there was bark at the end of today's stream
Oh yes, one bark.
Coming soon to theHunter: Call of the Wild...

oh wow you can even see the dog
doggo
Y'all catch the bark at the end haha
one with a tail i think
Maybe Diamond
Where do you see it, Zitro?
looks like a retriever
On the thumbnail
It’s doggies!!
a labrador maybe ?
you can see it in the thumbnail, not so much in the video
Ah, yes
Exciting
Daaaaang I was correct hahaa
🐶
Good shit ormy ^^
So pleased
it’s was obvious from the beginning
Jee someone really guessed it lmaoo
I had a bad cough that day sorry
Hehe
So does this mean we are getting cars?
Guys what’s this animal?
a dog
Looks like a dog
a big chicken
YES
It kinda looks like a miniature pony in the pic not gonna lie
If there’s no chihuahua I’ll be slightly sad xD
i'm pretty sure that's some sort of retriever in the thumbnail
looks like a chocolate lab but so blurry can't really tell
I was also thinking retriever, stocky built looking dog
really hope dog isn't map specific
Did you see the teaser trailer yet
dogs lets fucking go
It’s a dog bark but I don’t know what bread
well we know its dogs
God pleaaase let us name the doggos
They better lol
probably an alligator
If they remove the float back feature for ducks imma be mad
fox hunt?
If they’re planning on reworking the ducks, retrievers would be useful
And what if dogs increase visibility and make noise
I assume doggos are for small wildlife. Like hares, foxes, maybe ducks.
I probably will buy the dlc but never use them
Soooooooooooo we be getting dogs it sounds like
Jules: Why? Dogs are nice for moose hunting (very popular in Sweden and Norway)
It will help with goose hunting because then you don’t even need to move
I hope dogs arent a hirsh exclusive
That would be bad
why would they be exclusive to one map cmon now
I’m still thinking the duck survey is tied to this, in fact the duck survey made me think dogs were coming more. If they rework them to be more like classic, they’ll definitely have a use
I think they just showed it on hirsch because of geese
well its only been teased on hirsh
I’m so tired of losing geese, lost 3 lvl 4 yesterday because I shot them with the 22 and couldn’t find where they landed
That doesn’t mean that they are going to be an exclusive
O great dogs adding when the game doesn't even work right lmfao
dude just go to the where the hunting pressure is
Well
i know just saying
It's looks like we just got the answer
I think if dogs were added at some point I think we would need grouse or pheasant for dogs to point and flush
if you hunt geese alot all is pink so try to find it with hunting pressure
The brand new teaser trailer for cotw has woof
Yes
Agreed. Would be fun to do a rough shoot like that
Doggo is coming
Look at the trailer
well if u use the 22 it would probably from a distance
Oh, really? I didnt know that! But hunting moose with a dog sounds cool too.
Maybe dogs generally can be used to track scents. Like oh you lost track of an animal? Let the certified goodboy sniff the floor.
The hunting pressure is only where the fatal shot is, most of the time you hit it with the 22 they can still fly a ways before they actually drop
Retrievers for birds
Also dogs would probably be indestructible to everything that hurts player’s
Hounds for rabbits,coyotes,foxes etc etc
i hope that with the dogs they take away the dogbarking background sound on hirschfelden
i hope there's more than 1 breed. hunting sim 2 has multiple dog types for different hunting
It would be nice for duck hunting to because then it would take less time for you to wait for it to float to you
same
And some kind of dog in order to do hog drives
Hs2 sucks tho
Could be
Sounds like we are getting dogs. Just watched a teaser
yes, but its different breeds having different functions is one of its upsides
I’d say the three breeds from classic would be first- so Labrador retriever, bluetick scent hound and a German pointer
Pretty good
That’s a good guess
yeah, I hope the update doesn't make it crash even more
Oh it will
I still can't think any other reason for them to tease dogs in Hirsch except for pheasants. What that dog was barking at behind the hill? Maybe a bird 😛
I mean... Geese
yea
Could be because they plan to add pheasants, or just for geese retrieving
It could be that or it could be that they didn’t want to show the dog itself yet
I also just watched the trailer what if they troll us with wolves
not wolves I don’t think
Wolves are already in the game. Adding them to Hirsch would not be worth such a big teaser.
what if they trolled us with the bark and they put coyotes on hirsch? 😎
coyotes and foxes? idkk mannn
It’s pretty definitely dogs. There’s no reason now to think dogs aren’t being added
We dont have coyotes in europe
I hope that add pheasant too
so basically it's pheasants and dogs together
It’s a pretty dead give away
A dog bark
Guys its a joke... :( I know theres no coyotes in Europe
a bark snippet
it's a bark... but what if it isn't? xD
we kno
What if the next map has the game bird
huh
im gonna say it's a beagle bark
I still stand by the fact a duck map in future like the bayou in classic would tie perfectly with the addition of dogs
eh they would have used a different setting plus it would have included more animals i think
what if it's a cat with personality crisis ;D
I gotta say it sounds more like a person stubbing their toe than a dog bark
what if the next animal to be hunted is dogs 😈
D A M N
What if they add dogs now fix all the bugs for them then the next map has the game bird
that's all I do anyways, I'm a cat
That’s my feeling personally
it is dog isnt it??
yuh
just watched the trailer
Like put them in, get them working all good, then we can start training them for a future map
heard a bark
yea its a dog
It opens more possibilities in that sense
wooo
the next map will have something worth hunting with dogs like birds
Definitely agree
so will the dogs be a DLC or just a regular update im guessing DLC
just dlc
do you think dogs would be usable in other maps?
probably dlc
Gaters and those boats with fans
Maybe a more small game focused map
i reeaaaally hope you can level them. That would be so awesome
Would definitely love to hunt gators
I just downloaded and croped the thumbnail.
i feel like they should do something like classic where you can buy in game currency or grind alot to get the item
thats one blurry dog
that shape could be anything lol
the dog's just covered in vaseline, don't worry
completely different business model @midnight moon
might be bigfoot
yeah im aware
To me that screams retriever. A brown lab type? Stocky. Less like a pointer, but then it is very blurry
Watch it be coyotes and we are all being fucked with
It could be a cuatro wolf @peak barn
that would be hella funny
a the famous short legged moose
the bark in the teaser isn't how a coyote sounds
what do you think when will this come out?
YES WE GOT DOGS
on one of the streams they said when and if they get water physics there would be a possibility of hippos so gators would be cool
it's actually a man in a fur suit
Bigfoot
well we knew we were getting dogs for months
a month or less, or teasing this would be pointless
Hippos would be so dope, especially if they added skull mounts in future!
Based on their previous dlc stuff, next week reveal on stream and 2-3 weeks from there.
I hope its not just for one map, that its going to be accessible to all maps
I mean they normally tease an obvious teaser like this, then it’s not long afterwards
imagine using a dog to hunt a pack of wolfs
finna be crazy when they go aggressive
Probably 2 weeks
i just hope the dog isn't horribly annoying and you can despawn it easily
that would be dope
2 weeks is a good estimate honestly
ok its just teased now its not officially announced
so 2 weeks from announcement would make sense to me
I mean it’s technically a teaser but it’s dead obvious that it’s a dog bark
Yeah makes sense
nono cat
yea
It might not be tho
lol sorry xD
cat fucking dies
😮
It could be some sort of deer
rude Dx
Maybe a soon to be reveal
be nice to cat
Definitely not a deer bark
they'll show it on a strim
yes mo
It’s too...idk how to describe it
And then PS4 8 weeks after 🙂
If we do get dogs added then here are some different breeds
it is a dog
Like deep/smooth
its guaranteed
its that second one from the right
All of the above are good
theres no other animal similar to such vocal expression
very much doubt there will be a lot of different dogs to pick from
Better way of wording it
mmm dog bark make special noise mhm
nah I just want it to be the tiniest dog breed possible, just to see how people would react
I mean deer bark as an alarm call and that’s already in game with animals like roe deer so I see absolutely no reason it would be that
Roe deer actually bark lol
hm maybe it's a different type of tree , trees have bark
Yea probably only like 2 retrievers and that’s it
Lmao that’s how I was describing it 🤣 your description was spot on
😆
My dog IRL is a lab and shorthair mix so my dog does point and flush
does anyone know for clasic theHunter, didnt play it before, how many maps were there? I know there was a dog there, but could you take it to all maps?
maybe it will be something similar
if your dog doesn't flush you should pick up after it
I still reckon if we get one dog breed, there will be at least three (retriever, pointer, tracker/scent hound)
Yep there’s loads of classic maps and you can take your dogs on all of them
if that dog spooks 1 thing i'm throwing it in the trash
From the Australia outback to the snowy mountains of whiterime
finally gets a super rare and prepares to shoot but the dog scares it off
lol
Oof
i will uninstall the dlc as soon as it scares 1 thing i swear
i'll just not buy it lol
I will, I want it! 😄
Same I want a doggo lol
I think dogs are going to be for duck hunting if they do something with that and if they add pheasant
yea obviously
Imagine having your dog drive deer and it spooks out a great one
Ohh yea it would be awesome if the dog could drive animals towards you
baby moose
it looks like a baby moose with down syndrome
it's not that far
It’s a close ish photo that’s just heavily blurred
No it’s just like a filter affect, nothing to do with actual distance. I use a similar thing in irl and gaming photography
The dog on the far left or the far right kind of looks like the teaser animal
they all look like dogs
🤷🏼♂️
much more importantly: will the ears be floppy or not
Riot if not
ikr
I mean please don't 😄
flop
Yes, you can see how close it is to the camera.
xD
Exactly
It is pig sized
or dog sized
So probs not a larger dog
dun dun dunnn
Mid ranged
Wha tif it's a hybrid dogpig
Just a pic effect to make it appear blurry
moosedog
I’d say mid range, lab /golden retriever size
just rest on dog until the release or official statement
Good at finding truffle and deer
also if you can't name the dog they failed their job
Alt back to asking for air strikes and ieds
how would you name it?
deadass
Mine would be like fenrir or maugrim
idk you just give it a name somewhere
I'll do same as I have in Classic. Hemuli
Butt
🐶
no reason why we shouldnt be armed with M4 Armor piercing rounds or a 50. cal
do you name dogs by a different initial letter each year in your country ?
It’s baboon
Finally we can hunt baboon in savannah map
I was going to name mine fenrir as well
hi guys what this
Define what this
chanel
If you mean the channel then ew has released teasers
Its a dog
or baboon
I think he's joking its defo not a baboon
oh ok
Yes
but it literally could be a baboon. we just don't know
is the video teaser?
Yeah
interesting
perfect name and profile pic there
Dooooogs!!
What if it’s a pointer and found a bunny burrow
There was one other clue
But this one was the extremely obvious one, the other was very subtle
i care more about the duck rework rather than dogs
both might come at the same time
Hi, can i run this game at 4k res. with gtx 1650ti on medium setting ? I will buy a 4k tv if I could run it at 4d med.
why not a 4k monitor
Maybe pheasants as well?
I tested it with a tv and it was superior u know the nature with big screen
and I wanna play game with a TV but teh bootleneck is my gtx1650 😦
I think just because it is on the german map, it is basically a clue that the dog will be a german shepherd
No clue what a german sheppie would be used for in hunting, but the country at least used to be one of the more central "hare hound countries"
i wouldn't try 4k on a 1650 tbh, but this is not the place to talk about that
Definitely not at the same time. They just did the survey I doubt it that they would put it in so quick
imagine if they put in 1 dog breed and youd have to buy every other dog breed as a DLC in the future lmao
I doubt this is going to be a free update, you'll need to buy the dlc for the dogs. I don't mind, I want to support them anyway
There’s gonna be more the one species lol
I would like if they had different fur colours like you could pick your breed and have like 5 different variations in colour or do what rdr2 did with the horses
$20 they’re gonna be bugged
i dont think youll find anyone betting against that lol
I’d like to see them add pheasant and grouse to hirsch on top of dogs maybe a duck and turn hirsch into a small game reserve since no one hunts it
They already added rabbits and foxes are on the map it’d be cool to see
Would rather they made a small game British map, I hate hunting on Hirsch. Loads of game here too! Pheasants, grouse, snow geese, mountain hare, euro rabbits, ptarmigan, Mandarin ducks, widgeon, foxes, partridge, water deer, muntjac, sika, etc.
Things like sighthounds and game dogs would be fun
but only if they added in mechanics for those breeds to even work
Hopefully the dogs can be like blue ticks red ticks red bones and them sorts or at least diffrent breeds to pick from
Hopefully because i will defiently be getting it if it is dogs
they would not add them without any useability
I want them to be able to run rabbits and bird hunt because it would add a lot to rabbit hunting
this is the best day of my life. i just rlly hope that u get la lot of do
different typtes of dogs
Probably just point and retrieve
That’s it
And track
Which imo is worthless
Tracking
Not to be pessimistic or anything
Just looking at what makes sense
And what classic has
yeeah i know its just low possibility to happen
But like, look at an irl retriever, it can point, retrieve, and track
But they’ll add species because who knows
Obviously there should be more then retrieves
Cause German short hairs can point, retrieve
yes ik
Pure duck related map would be kind of meh tbh
Hey, I'm new to this, what happening?
Dogs are coming to COTW
Nice
What will they hunt? Or will you just be able to use them for finding animals?
Why? Duck hunting really fun if your good
It... really isnt?
Decent way of making money, filling a lodge and clearing hunting pressure for sure
But I prefer more trophy-like species
To each there own, but I just duck hunt cause it’s fun, not any specific reason
i don't mess with birds. i'll shoot a turkey once in awhile if i see one while i'm hunting elk but that's about it
birds will be good once they fix them
the geese are super fun though
shooting a bird from 250m with a .22 virant is not fun
Too bad dogs will not add anything but bugs to the game tracking is already easy enough and the retrieval aspect is also easy, animals that end up in the water float to you. Unless things change I will not be using a dog for anything.
Its useful for geese
I’ll only use it for birds but they need to fix ducks
and we better be getting pheasants or something like this soon
Geese are easy you go out and grab them.
you dont hunt geese then
Oh I do. But most of the ones that I shoot are in the field within 50m of my setup
the amount of geese ive lost because they drop over forest/bushes is pretty high. Having something that grabs them for you while you prepare for the next flock would be really good
But how reliable is the dog going to be. Is it going to pick that one up or will it have a certain range that it may not work in. Like I said changes are needed for dogs to be useful.
game needs more realism for that stuff
We’ll just have to see. I hope it is like you said Zitro and the dogs will actually have a use, but I’m not seeing it right now.
very excited for a new animal to hunt!
Im going to assume we are probably going to get a pointing dog breed (Short hair pointer) a tracking dog (bloodhound) and a retreiver of some kind. Maybe a fourth for a protective style dog to maybe help deter wolf attacks
I mean, you can shoot the dogs, but I wouldn’t recommend it
kill the dog for secret achievement
My guess is pheasants are coming with the dogs and dogs will be able to fetch ducks on the water faster,flush pheasants and push rabbits out of their burrows
Dogs 🐶 will likely have fleas to start then slowly Ew will kill them off with patches 😹
That certainly doesnt look like a common hunting breed so nope
theeyll probablty add like two dogs
hoping they add these guys.
They were used for deer, boar, and bears way back when
...okay but if it's a free update, I know how it could tie into DLC maps
one extra breed per map bought
dying to get these puppies
and I'm strongly hoping that they'll be able to fetch small game like rabbits and ducks
that's something i relied heavily on for this old bird hunting PC game I played the heck out of when I was a Smol
^^^^^^
it'd be amazing if they could at least help find larger things
see around corners pointer
because "pain" is trying to find a red deer when there was like 20+ of them in a herd
More pixilated xD
seems legit
that pooch looks hard AF. i need him to keep the wolves off me at Yukon
def dogs going by that teaser trailer......i hope it doesn't break the game. Also....hunt club fix plllllssssssss
then you certainly don't know a lot about dog hunting lmao
Didnt say I did. What breed even is it?
Finnish Spitz
Well that explains a lot
They seem to be very uncommon here in the US so never heard of them
No one hunts with dogs in the US
That can’t be farther from the truth XD
Lol what?
People use retrievers and pointers, but nothing else
Little use of hounds sometimes for bears and cougars
But nothing compared to europe
They do hunt but it's very different type of hunting than what we have here in the nordic countries
We also have different type of dogs
That makes no sense
People use dogs everywhere
It’s not the 17th century
Dogs can go anywhere
Wait, how do the euros hunt with dogs?
They use them for drives
They send them out to push animals towards them
Here people do it with people, if at all
Incorrect. That shitshow of a wolf hunt in Wisconsin had dogs.
Okay fine, wolf hunters in Wisconsin use dogs. My apologies. Clearly everyone uses dogs
Clearly xD
hi
@midnight moon i use hound dogs here in west virginia to run bear
People also use them around here to hunt coon rabitt and squirrels and few other animals
lets read back to what i said ( ill paraphrase ): People don't really use dogs, except for retrieval and other bird purposes. Some people use dogs for black bear (and wolves apparently), along with most cougar hunts
And with all the sheep, dogless duck hunts, elk, moose, bear, goats, bison, antelope, deer, deer, and more deer hunting that happens in the US
People in the US dont really use dogs
That could be an opinion that they arnt relaly used in the u.s
I think there used more than people think they are
its not an opinion
it really isnt
who uses dogs for: mule deer, coues deer, whitetail deer, rocky elk, roosevelt elk, tule elk, shiras moose, alaskan moose, cali bighorn, rocky bighorn, desert bighorn, dall sheep, blacktail deer, plains bison, antelope, black bear, grizzly bear, brown bear, caribou, mountain goat, and turkey, among other things
no one
litterally 3 people for all of those
so "not really used" isnt an opinion. 90% of the hunts you go on wont have dogs
I use them for black bear along with at least the other 10k or more people in my state
black bear hunts are probably 50/50 bears and spot and stalk
between dogs, bait, and spot n stalk
okay nice
what about all the other animals
oh and muskox, cant forget those
Well here its illeagal to bait bear and use dogs to run deer
okay so to bring it all together, what i said, is not an opinion, its a fact based off the defintion of the phrase "dont really use ___"
Our laws are diffrent from most states because our bear hunters are so strong together we aint let them get guided hunts here
how is that a flex? guides just bring more money to your state and help make your tags cheaper and your fish and game have a bigger budget
So this why the baiting is illegaal
If guided hunts came here the bear hunters already here we would have no where to hunt because they would be leasing all the land to guides and stuff they done tried it here and a bunch of bear hunters circled the capital in charleston with there trucks and dog boxes us west virginia hunters no what we got and we try to not let them get there way with guided hunts or anything to change the way bear hunting or any kind of dog hunting in our state so people dont have to pay hundreds of dollars just to hunt then we would have no game to hunt our selves because people would just come in and kill all of it because a lot of people come from other states to hunt to but if they had bait sites for the guided hunts they would just slaughter the animals until there was nothing left because here they already want the bears killed out but we wont let it happen butnif the dnr got guided hunts leagal and stuff they would most likely pay the people to have people come in and kill all of the bears out so the dog hunters in west virginia try to stay close together so it never happens and so it will be able to be hunted without having to pay big money
for a shitty ss anyone can get?
😑
I’m kinda getting excited for the dogs I was on the fence before but I’m warming up to the idea of having a puppet follow me around
👀
Wonder if they'll have tracking hounds in COTW too. Nothing better than hearing a hound get on a blood trail (favorite sound IRL)
Nah, I love getting on a blood trail with some hounds and hear them tear through the woods
Ah I hate the sound of hounds bark something about it makes my skin crawl
I can see where you come from XD
Plus the only time my Shepard makes that sound is when something is absolutely critically wrong and I need to know about it
I have only herd her make it once
Plot twist, its just a reserve full of squeaky toy animals that you can send your dog out to get
don't mind
I’m hoping for just more animals on existing reserves. I’m already super excited for the dogs tho
When do you think dogs will come?
Full reveal probably gonna be next week then they will come our 1 to 2 weeks after
Okay but was the most important question already asked?
Can we pet the dogs?
Let us also give it commands through mic 😄
"Oh no, don't poop... ! I meant SIT!"
Here guys here is my giant leucistic Caribou Diamond, but my friggin dog shat on it
When you just got the dog so instead of retrieving your diamond mela duck it tears into it
Lol u start with a dumb disobedient dog until you level em up xD
i would get my friends and go to vurhonga... get the dogs to attack a cape boofer that would be amazing
I dont think dogs are coming, maybe something dogs bark
?
I wish they would add an anti cheat and fix the hunt club
yeah. i joined hunt club and i dont get missions
Hunt club is useless both when it works and when it doesnt
eh
Comps tho
I mean like a revamp of hunt club where there are comps
that would be good
I agree that should be what it is
hope its not gonna be flooded with hackers
but it would be really cool to have comps
the unfortunate thing is that it probably will be
unless some anti-cheat measures are introduced
also the cheese would be horrible
you could just let a really big diamond live on your map until a tourney comes up
or maybe they would make tournament maps
like a map with a new population
yeah
That would be nice
After dogs the only thing this game will need is vr support, the only game I think it's worth it doing vr port
That'll be hard to do and probably laggy as fuck
agreed
they'll never add vr support, there's no money in it
yep and only like 1% of the community could use it
I mean yeah, ew ain’t doing shit for free
true lol
That would be sick if they did a vr port as there are no good hunting ve games out there
Even golf it added vr support and their normal game is broken as hell
But imagine trying to steady your scope...
or the massive fps drop from looking at a herd of wildebeest
Reloading would be nbd but ya steading scope over 100m could be wack
Obviously no vr game could look the way this game does so would take a good amount of work to reduce textures without giving up too much view distance
just watched the teaser, it's definitely dogs
xD
it's actually a dog launcher, new weapon pack
fire a dog at a deer and it chews right thru em
Tech spotting dog. It can fly with a drone and woof whenever it sees animals.
They should add fighter jets
Why?
That’s dumb
That’s amazing
The game isn’t that hard you do t need a jet to kill lots of stuff
What’s the best animal you’ve gotten just wanna know
Diamond red deer
Nice
It is pretty nice
My best is probably diamond red fox
I only have 16
Nice
Just got 16 today harlequin duck
Cool I relax like the sikas I had a troll the day of release and haven’t had anything decent since
friendly predator missile inbound
Fido stop! STOP!
dont worry, friendly fire is disabled. Invalid target
XD
when you shoot the dog the game uninstalls itself
I got 0 diamonds 😔
Or like maybe one duck that made me 1500
But my friend took it and didn’t check
going to name my dog old yeller
and let him wonder whether or not i'm just being ironic
it would be funny if you did that and the game said something
Yea but would you really turn down shooting shit with a jet
Or hunting entire herds with grenades
👀
Quick Kill 1000
Have I just been blind this whole time
Naw, I archived it temporarily to stop off-topic chat in between use.
ahh
Remember to keep this chat about COTW clues and don’t get nasty with each other if someone’s idea is different to yours.
Was going to bring it out of the proverbial cupboard this week, but the lovely mods said that there'd been a spike in chatter over the weekend so I activated it now instead.. What timing! Haha. 💜
What I want if the gourd is for africa
middle animal looks awesome
Sable antelope
i feel like if they are adding a new map it wouldn't be another usa one because there's already so many
same here
Alot of others would
i know
@golden edge Hippos, giraffes zebras u forgot
then again i see a lot of the community asking for another WT map
i want muskox on a map someday
I don't care for hippos or giraffes so I didn't put them
no way they'd get added to the game either
You never know
i'm really doubtful
elephants could be added
they'd have to make a whole new lodge
Yeah me too but i just want them
the elephants would fit on none of the plaques
im hoping for a na lodge nice log cabin style
i'd like a medved lodge
and def more multimounts
oh yea
its lacking a bit
maybe that's what the new update would be
a new lodge and updated mounting system
that would be nice
mabye the plaques would look normal on whitetail sense they are giant compared lol
👀
Log cabin in a snowy Forest
Elephants probably won't happen because all three species are endangered
African wild dogs have also been endangered since 1990 so there's no way they'll be in the game.
Noway they did a clue Channel 🤩
Elephants are legal game to hunt in some parts of Africa I believe western
I mean I wouldn't complain about another map with leopards and other antelope
We need big game. Tbh lions and buffalos are boring to hunt aren’t they
From what I know there are certain quotas for older male elephants similar to how it’s done for lions. Could be wrong but that’s pretty much what I’ve heard. So maybe only one spawns every session or something or you have to pay a fee for shooting it
elephants would just invite too much controversy
True
like I said, both African species are endangered now
But
so IRL rules might be changing to reflect that in the near future
Hunting virtual ones can distract from hunting the real ones irl xD
