Or be hunted by chupacabra.
Sambar and rusa would be the only new species people would care about
Banteng
Magpie goose
Weve already discussed how banteng wouldnt happen
Of course if you dont like bovids that'd be an annoyance
Alot of talk for someone was the basic pfp
Havent heard anything on that personally, but they did put them in the Classic map
Lots of rats in Australia that need shooting right now.
Classic is an older game
I just want to hunt. Give me a new environment and some animals to hunt....i'll be happy 🙂
Add that banteng arent actually seen as endangered or anything in Australia
Actually very fitting for how big some of the jumps on logic are😂
Cotw is on 3 platforms they arnt gonna add an endangered animal when it risk the game being banned
They just cant agree on wether they should be wiped out or not
I mean honestly, the "regionally endangered" species ship sailed years ago
I don't think they should take a risk that should get them banned, but I do not see how hunting pixels in a video game hurts endangered species.
Wolves, brown bears... both regionally endangered animals
They games story betrays a message about helping endangered species
It's less the risk of bans and more them trying to make a more "positive" image for hunting
euro bison
The euro bison have story reasons for being hunted and they have opened up for limited hunting of the species irl
Banteng are killed maybe 10 times a year in aussie I dont see them doing them
Agreed
Nope
Lesser kudu as well are on the endangered species list
They could add elephant seals and a bat and kill 2 birds with one stone lmao
Lesser kudu are threatened not endangered
But they are on the list, more so due to regional populations however
Same reason why wolves, bears and such are on the endangered species list here in Scandinavia for example
But yes, topics again?
Banteng are endangered all over Australia
What people want out of a map depends on the players.
Indeed
I want sabretooths and whooly mammoths...
The australian population are ferals of the domesticated variant just fyi.
But again. Some want Australia, some want africa, some want another american map
and only a simple bow
We'll see it when we see it
ARK
hahahaha yeah
I enjoyed it
Ark is big time poggers
Hows ur day been TK
Pretty good so far tbh. How about you?
was there any meaning behind the oxygen thing for a clue?
Great physically but mentally horrible with this clue😂
Interesting clue
Maybe hydrogen too? Should we all be thinking on the molecular level now? Do we play as COVID cells?
or the scinetists fighting the COVID cells?
What do u think about feral goats and pigs being on a map back to back ?
Incorrect!
Elaborate
Oxygen and Hydrogen make water. Water fuels our cells. Our cells die and our body rids itself of them in our urine
am i on the right track?
The gourd could hold trillions on oxygen molecules
Layton Lakes holds God only knows how many zeros would come after the 1
Where are u going with this
Fernando drinks thousands of oxygen molecules from the gourd and travels to the new reserve and urinates them out somewhere. Maybe we need to figure out where he takes his piss?
Just a theory...
🙂
Tiger is writing an essay
First I am Australian and I hunt , secondly banteng habitat the Coburg pen NT only and have for generations thirdly they are only endangered in their native country and our population is very strong and finally the Cape buffalo and banteng are the most sought after hunting trophy’s from ACROSS THE TOP ..... only an Aussie will know that term! ....and I can guarantee you they are a hell of a lot more hunted than 10 a year.... it’s big business
Intresting good to know
I’m giving you first hand facts not throw away BS, you asked I delivered..... your welcome!
And I thank u
where in the world did Fernando pee?
Australia? Africa? Asia? Mexico?
You inhale water everytime you breathe. The amount you inhale depends on the humidity. Your body takes the oxygen. Both water you drink and oxygen you breathe fuel your body. Maybe we are the clue? Not the gourd and not Layton Lakes itself?
What if your name happens to be Fernando? You ARE the clue...
they are renaming the character Layton Fernando and introducing a thirst mechanic with the gourd
All this hype will most likely be just fixing the stupid ducks...
Ur on to something
We get it. Ducks and geese are broken on Layton Lakes. The ducks/geese whatever are broken on PF. Gourd has the meaning of water. Water on Layton and Parque Fernando. Ducks use water. This will most likely be a fix to ducks/geese you have to pay for due to the fact that they will add a new species
You guys got big piggies up that way as well!
I will still buy it lol
A gaurd holds water they showed a picture of layton first then one of parque if the next clue is yukon then it may be a rework to ducks
It's the order the ducks released in
yess
I never and will never actively hunt the ducks EVER and i'll still buy the duck fix DLC just to support them
We nailed it...time to reveal it lol
Can be, The big stinkers where I’ve hunted are found around Cobar/Wilcannia in Central NSW...👍. Great area for using the dogs!
Duck rework leading into a retriever dlc
What exactly would they rework?
Duck rework with a new species of duck....maybe a dog???
them responding to calls and decoys , spook radious,them flying around etc.
Which 2 maps would rain the most?
One day I hope to bowhunt there!
Gourd holds water the ducks swim in, the air holds oxygen where the ducks would fly in, and Layton Lakes, Parque Fernando, and Yukon (and Hirsch for geese) is where they live
Ah yes, the random prezzi
solv'd
Tea agua row ah
tea and water mixed together will have enough caffeine to make you row a LOT faster....
Oh boy a tea awaroeaoaaroa hotfix adding more european deer
Its supposed to be this time of year
this fall lol
And minor dlcs never have this level of clues
Yeah I just want any reserve
anything at this point...
I'm also not taking a side for a particular one because this chat would turn into ww3 again
I won't take sides either. I will give my opinion on what it could be based on the clues, but people will come up with their own conclusions
Being that they said it might not be a map, I think a duck rework with either a new species of flying game or a rework with a new dog. OR it could be a new reserve if they are trying to throw us off and the new reserve will either be Mexico, Australia, Asia, or Africa based on the clues and everyone else's contributions here
it ofcourse is open to discussion and debate 🙂
My Guess: Either Australia, Africa or Mexico. But i think is going to be Australia 🙂
Open for discussion
but not for WW3
I honestly wouldn't mind a duck rework with a dog if it isnt a map
After all the clues would line up to water
The picture of Layton Lakes said 2003 right?
Their birthdate
Hirsh says 2003 as well
Also the starting date of a project called "Rico: Terror in the tropics"
the date when they bought that dumpster fire known as theHunter classic and turned it into a beautiful game lol
Isn't Mexico in the tropics?
yucatan peninsula is
Africa is pretty large, part of it is
Mate it's a date of a significant event for the devs history that's been there since release it's not going to be a clue
But I didn't know they bought classic so who made it first?
Is Sacha the product owner ?
I stumbled upon it before. I am looking for it again. It was not in 2003, but I think they bought it in 2009 and reworked it
If they redo the graphics that’s the best hunting game there is
Only a few flaws
It used to cost money to buy the game and EW made it f2p
Emote Games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheHunter
Here's an idea. Use it or lose it, it makes no difference to me. In 2003 (the date on the Layton pic sent by Meggles) Avalanche Studios started on "Rico: Terror in the tropics". One of the developers said "we wanted a game where you can skydive on a car's roof". Meggles also said dive deeper. Rico was eventually renamed to "Just Cause" which is situated on an island inspired by the Caribbean. The Caribbean is also in the tropics and is adjacent to Mexico
If you search "bitter gourd central America" you will see that bitter gourd is grown in the Caribbean and starts to flower in June. The common date for new maps
nice catch
This is starting to get fun👍
They can integrate 2 of their games CotW and Gen Z and give us mech suits with a chaingun...
Bruh there are to many theory’s. It’s hurting my brain
I’m in South Australia atm...feral goat country in the flinders ranges... Far North QLD and NT perfect for the bows .... lots of water up that way....😉
This chat will do that to you...
yes lol
My brain's been gone a whiiiiilee....
The channel should be renamed...Random Insanity...
There is a Gourd Lake in Minnesota.
or dont join if u want to stay sane
hahahaha yes
@candid pecan I think I figured it out!
pls enlighten us TK

She was giggling in the stream hahahaha
tell
He said Mexico or the Caribbean
Side not, the Caribbean has white tailed deer...
I see african map in classic
*note
I am down for WT deer ANYWHERE
Every zone in america has WT deer xD
Mostly yeah
Belize would be an awesome place for a reserve too 🙂
New map but blacktail instead of whitetail
I would want both considering we only have one map for them
But they might do either and I'd be fine with it
Truee
TK give us a useless Clue
he did...oxygen...
Water where ducks/geese swim, Oxygen in the air they fly in and breathe, and Layton/Parque/Yukon/Hirsch where they live
Correction: the Caribbean has Key Deer which is a subspecies of WT
We need moar deer species
yees
- Female moose
add moose to TA lol
Or an African map with Texas animals...
They could if they wanted too
Oryx,gemsbox,blackbuck, whitetail,wild boars, with some other stuff
female diamond moose
im waiting for the useless hint
hydrogen
Yes
What do ducks exhale? GO
Water
hahahaha
and fernando
No...the duck's NAME is Fernando...
Duck hunt in Argentina be amazing xD
FERNANDO

what if they made an absolutely amazing africa2.0 and only populated it with jackrabbits and sparse red deer
gimme more Red deer
im bored of hunting red deer on one map
3 Scrub Hares and 1 Red Deer on a 25 square km map. Make all 4 GO
but actually now.... if it’s australia they could add red deer.. kinda scary
What is this fernando clue mean
Name of a duck
Arid region and a america region
sure
I want to start a petition, delete whitetail from the game, they are ugly and no one wants them in the game.
Is that a clue?
You have to be kidding
And a new map to grind great one on because Layton sucks for grinding whitetail
^^^
There is way too many spots for them to hide
Mine don't show up to their drink zones on half my map...
Yeah I have that problem too
rework WT...not ducks
But have the they are drinking in the middle of the of the land a mile away from WT
Please rework the water mechanics
The bottom half of the map they don't show up
The river system from roonchee all the way up to Willpeg I have whitetail but that is it
They exist down there as I see them wandering, but they hate to drink....
there is a Paid Duck DLC that is useless at the moment that is why ducks need fixing.
Maybe they're rabid...
They just need to delegate Layton because everyone hates and make a new map with ducks and whitetail
I’ve said this 100000 and I’ll say it a billion more: EW has ruined NA in quality of maps and trying to make a map JUST for More whitetail (no other NA big game needed) will end in disaster
They should fix the ducks which is what they intend to do, but if this DLC is ducks, then it will make 10% of the playerbase happy instead of making 90-100% happy with a new map 🙂
Because the map will either be stupid and have re skinned/copy animals or have animals that don’t even make sense
I do agree but all I am asking is we have another map for whitetail to grind
Female Diamond moose confirmed by TK?
That’s the main problem with COTW, people perfer shit content but a lot over quality hunting but less
Yes
I want everything to be fixed as much as you do
They said they are fixing the duck spawns
So how does duck function
That’s what I’m saying, the map WILL NOT be good, it won’t flow well and the animals won’t be good and deal realistic (I know you guys hate that word) and there’s way better places to base a map off of
We need ducks fixed a new map for whitetail and the render glitch fixed
This person has it right
That’s all I want
I think render glitch will be fixed in next patch
Duck spawns?!?!? They need to fix their entire behavior and system, not where they spawn, it’s hella easy to find ducks
It might be pretty but there is 0 original animals
No we don’t
Fine I agree 100% they need to fix ducks, but to hype us over ducks would be stupid
Well it would certainly be nice
Ducks already have a DLC the DLC won't be ducks, it will, hopefully fix them so they show up or land within 100m of a Decoy
We don’t need another wt map, because it. Will. Suck
How about a Key Deer map?😂
Hopefully this new DLC will also update ducks when it comes out (because that’s what they’ve done in the past)
I just hope all of this hype and us being at each other's throats does not end up in a paid duck fix
Lmao
We do I bought this game to hunt deer whenever the season is over for deer hunting and it is almost impossible to find deer at this point
Never hard to find wt
I want them to fix the ducks to be the way tey should be 🙂
Well
When your trying to base an entire map off an animal that’s already in the game, in an area of the world that already has most of the animals in that region in the game, the map will just be a complete re skin
We need way more small game
There's only so many deer species
Oh yeah bobcat and raccoon that’s fun and enough to build a map off of
Sub species will be reskins and deer of the same type in other regions will alos be reskins
I do a lot of traping irl and we need bobcat coon and a better fox
No we don’t
That it’s what you want
Not what the game needs from a logical stand point
the one species that NEEDS to be added is Beavers, I need to hunt those tent destroying so and so's down for what they've done to my maps
Maybe stone sheep?
Won’t happen
Yeah it is fun
I’d like it
Lol😂😂
But Layton already has 9 animals
Yeah also beavers
XD
“shit quantity over good quality” - COTW
There are other games...
Nobody is really forcing you to play this game, either.
Stop complaining
I enjoy this game, I just want it to go in the right direction
we all do
Well I think they’re biggest issue
Is how much we have to pay for content
You have to pay so much to get 80% of the game
they're not EA. They have a small dev tream.
Then possibly be more constructive in your feedback, not just complaining without any real contributions except "no they won't".
It’s no better than classic
Well gtg
Now would be a great time for meggles or tk to give another hint to get this thing on the right rails again...
What is everyones current thoughts and why for the current clues?
This chat is literally designed for people to talk about what they think is coming to the game next, pointing at problems that could/should be fix is obvious
Africa or NA desert map
Anything else seems to complicated
QUALITY BAD TOO MUCH QUANTITY!!1!1!!
Wut lmao
Mate cotw is in a good spot 😂
Mine are New gunea, or Australia, and remember nothing has been confirmed so these are just guesses
Why New Guinea?
Either a new species of flying game with a new map, dog, or something else
People like you ruin communities by demanding devs do stupid shit which ends up making the game suffer, for example making fun of me for wanting the game to be fixed if that is the genuine state of mind your in over cotw, where you wouldn’t want actual buy fixes from what is in the game, you are hopeless
Where the new map is? idk
Be careful he's gonna claim UH is gonna beat cotw
Does anyone know how many active players cotw has per month?
Around 1 million
😳
We only know pc which is the smaller portion of players
Yup
New gunea was because the gourd, is from a Calabash tree or New guinea bean and I read an interesting article about New gunea Bow hunting that I thought would fit the COTW world
Was a little less 2 months ago, but cotw has a growing player base
That is a really high number
Probably on the steam charts
They made a social media post, telling us how thankful they are
But how many is players that stay around- not just new people buying the game and leaving it after a week
There's no way to know that
Could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure it said 900- ish thousand
Cotw brings in big bank
Yup, there is, I’ll try to pull it up, give me s sec
Oh ok
classic is 100% free to play now
Imagine 500k people buy a new map. Quickly made 3.995.000 dollars/euros idk
no dlcs, memberships, nothin
Classic isn’t pay to win at all, it’s just has lots of content
See how many viewers they get for their stream after a week and you got the most dedicated player number 🙂
it's just very grindy lol
That doesnt show everything cuz people can miss streams due to work etc.
That number would be to low, lots of people still play and don’t watch the stream
That's why I said AFTER A WEEK
Lmao who goes back and watches a stream
DEDICATED lol
COTW is cheap, super cheap, It's the best hunting sim out there and still super cheap to get DLC's, which is awesome
Way dedicated
hahaha
Classic>
There will be a lot more people that don’t do that but still play the game lmao
Don’t @ me
Shhhh not the time 😉
When the player base is sus
Not really 😂
I do as I sleep during it. It is too early in stolkholm syndrome time
Counting COTW users: Pls. visit: https://steamcharts.com/app/518790
Any news on what coming I just woke up😂
That's pc only
Nope
That’s very low, but remember there’s wayyyyyyyy more people on console
Damit I was hoping there would be so I can go to work happy today 😂
no new Theories, just same circular speculation and going way off topic
Ugh they need to show a teaser already for fuck sake 😂
Its gonna keep going offtopic bc they arnt saying anything
A gourd, Layton lakes, Parque Fernando, Oxygen, and a duck named Fernando that farts water...
I disagree
I hope the Next clue (if there is one) throws people on a different tangent
Friday
We hope
Not going to repeat but I have a theory that it will be Mexico
Man I'm hoping it's Mexico all signs are pointing to it so I'm hoping it is new whitetail map
i aint buyin mexico unless they improve the wt racks
Looks like ur not buying it then
Shiiii I am if there's whitetail whew take my 8 dollars
he'll buy it...they always do...
bet
I hope it's not Mexico
I perfer africa but it's most likey Mexico
Aus
Australia would be the #1 map i'd want rn, but if another wt map popped up? TAKE MY MONEY
what are the actual reasons for Mexico? I haven't seen any real reasons that relate to the clues, all I've seen is people say I want WT it's going to be Mexico because I want WT... Makes no sense
the gourd I think
The desert terrain seen in the parque clue plus the gaurd
Here's an idea. Use it or lose it, it makes no difference to me. In 2003 (the date on the Layton pic sent by Meggles) Avalanche Studios started on "Rico: Terror in the tropics". One of the developers said "we wanted a game where you can skydive on a car's roof". Meggles also said dive deeper. Rico was eventually renamed to "Just Cause" which is situated on an island inspired by the Caribbean. The Caribbean is also in the tropics and is adjacent to Mexico
If you search "bitter gourd central America" you will see that bitter gourd is grown in the Caribbean and starts to flower in June. The common date for new maps
a song called fernando about mexico
what does the Gourd have to specifically do with Mexico, they are/have been everywhere
Uve sent this 3 times already
relevant to the Mexico theory he has
Who
Jerdy asked
I asked, thanks, at least I know where your theory comes from now
That's where his comes from
Plus we got NZ last so an Australian map is unlikely
we thinking mexico or somewhere in SA?
Mexico and Australia
NZ and Australia are vastly different countries
one of the direction
it's like saying we have an American map so no need for an england map
crap...
Australia has a lot mor species
i dont think its Aus?
Whatever they add i hope it has many new species and not many copied ones.
I agree
Someone had a Good argument for Aus, I don't remember speciffics but made sense
U talking about the guy that found out a dude named layton went to Australia bc of a rock
I agree with Scrubje lots of new stuff pls
He had a gourd he was drinking out of too
yea but you have to tie it with Fernando now
hey here's a new Theory, what if it's a Canadian Great lakes map?
maybe its sweden lmao
Connect it to the other clues
do they have a history of gourds?
gourd could be to distract us i dunno
what if its mars
true
what connects them all together is water
gourds, water, what does Layton and gourds have in common, water
^^ 100%
since snow is water
Remember people, Parque is tied into this too
youtubers that cover the game constantly are saying mexico and it makes sense
thus why I think it is a new species of flying game and hopefully a fix to the existing system of ducks/geese, and a new reserve they can live on alongside new deers and such
i wouldnt mind a amazon map :^) hunt just giant snakes
If water is actually the only clue and gourd was to lead us to think about water, then Canadian great lakes works, but so does Florida swamp map and a heap of other maps around the world
Maybe new flying game, a fix to the ducks/geese, and a new retriever?
They havnt fixed the first dog yet dont get ahead of yourself
There’s not much to hunt there, do I doubt it, and really hope it isn’t
hey you never know
yea im just memeing overall
All things water point to all things using water
I’m hoping for either Mexico or Africa, Asia is a lost cause
I don't remember seing them say it's a map either, so maybe a new gun pack with water guns to have water fights with?
Please no, I really hope they’re not just trolling us and give us something that’s not a map
Its most likey a map
actually i think there arre a few lil things to hunt overall in Brazil, but i'm just being semantic now :P and i dont know the legality of it all, prob illegal mostly
ANYWHOM
Layton, parque Fernando, Hirsch, Yukon all have water species. If the next clue has something to do with Hirsch or Yukon, then I will DEF think it is flying game that uses water
well that's annoying thank god for discord block
anyways, do you think there will be an announcement today?
or tomorrow?
No
no fuck off
There may be one tommorow
(I thought it was friday there ngl)
😂
Probably Tuesday
ye, eitherway i look forward to it :^)
It's Jurassic park
same
No it's Ikea, we need to hunt em' meatballs and rats
Well all the 12s are getting on so ima dip before I start losing brain cells
tc
No matter what it is I Tip my hat to Meggles on some very vague clues which have led to a lot of wild speculation.
She is cool 🙂
It is all leading somewhere though and that is the fun part...staying on the trail to the end 🙂
What may be common for Layton lake and a Calabas? Is it not water, or?
Gourd it's a two-way clue, is a Pilgrim Gourd and Water Bottle
In South Layton we can see a lot of history about the pilgrims/settlers, the Layton train tracks are related to the settlers, the CODEX say it starts at Layton Lows and goes east, we can see that the train track goes south...
Sonora Desert is towards the south of EEUU..
Water bottle = Desert
(Arizona or Sonora Mexico)
The arid area in the photo could indicate that this is so
Water gourd = Layton = Fernando
All three can be found in America
https://www.backyardnature.net/q/b-gourd.htm
The only thing we know the map is either going to be Africa, Aus, Mexico or Asia
Asia very unlikely......
Have the COTW team said it is a new map comming up? I have not heard it. Maybe also an extension to an existing - or?
They actually haven't. We're all just guessing
Every 6 months they release a new map
The timeline is correct but nothing concrete
Agree.-- I would assume that it is possibly something with the Layton map. New features or an extended map
Well they will 100 percent do a reveal stream on Tuesday,but they could possibly have a small sneak peak from Friday-monday
A friendly reminder to everyone here that the stream that is about to start is a theHunter Classic stream and that they wont talk about COTW.
Dont go in there asking questions about the clue please
Omg my heart rn.... Tk made the announcement for Classic.... i thought it was a surprise reveal stream
This picture from the new map, I think. Cause we can’t find this on any another map we have.
It is
It’s on parque
Wait what
Really?
Yep
I though megs said it was the new map
Actually on Jaxxybeard latest video, he showed it on Parwue
Is Parque Fernando, but Arid Zone maybe a clue
🤦♂️
Oof
She said it’s clue
Yeah but it’s Parque fernando
Oh ok
Still a clue
It's arid
not a pic of the new MAP
So mexico or Africa
oh
I think the fact that she is specifically saying 1 word like Layton and Fernando, means that they are alternate meanings than the maps themselves. Likely a name or something.
parque fernando could be the map could be the name
Tanzania might be
meg said fernando
Finally the endboss arrived..
seemed specific
Mexico...
I didn't know about the third clue
Lol
10 or 15% of Argentina and Chile have as name Fernando, is too vague
There you go
haha yeah I looked at that too brock
That's hilarious
I don't think it will be super obscure references though. Like once you solve it, I think it will point to an obvious landmark or feature, or something unique about the place that is easily recognizable.
Yeah
I was hoping for africa
But we are getting mexico
I am sticking with Aus for sure. We will all be put out of our misery soon enough i think 😛
Followup shotted
Ok so let's see animals you can hunt in Mexico
White tail deer
Javelina
Coyote
Gemsbok
Bighorn sheep (desert)
I still don't see Mexico in those clues
Puma of course
Apparently TK said in a stream they have done sheep to many times
the fernando song was a huge hit in Aus...maybe the clue giver grew up listening to it constantly? 😛
Some sort of qual
You can never have too many sheep
Persian ibex would be a hit
Right but that might mean they aren’t aiming for a map that would require sheep like Mexico
There's still more species but those are the main onesi found
Exactly
That's true
watch it just be that your hunter now gets thirsty and you have to carry a water bottle.
I just really want to see some kind of big curled ibex
Especially for mexico
But it will still have white tails
I think that’s the main reason everyone wants it
Yeah
I think if it's not mexcio
Mexico*
Then it's most likely Australia
Or possibly Africa
But bah
This is my first rodeo with these games. Will each clue be explained at the end?
would be fun to know if you were on the same path as the clue giver
The reveal stream will show the map on Tuesday
I wouldn’t mind any of the suspected ones tbh Mexico-Whitetails,Africa-More Big game, Australia- Hopefully Kangaroos
I've tackled many rodeos on this game
I have been correct with so many things
Parque fernando
Lions
But this one
Honestly all the past clues were easy to decode
This one is hard
This one is a lot harder
True
Congrats Meg you put TK out of a job
This has definitely been fun
This one has got me twisting and turning
look how entertained it has kept everyone. It was really well done
At first everyone was at each others throats tbh
Now I've got mexico and Australia
haha welcome to science my friend...he who yells loudest wins 😛
get a group of 10 geologists together and you will get 20 different theories 😛
So do we know 😂😂
no
Not for certain
I am kinda hoping everyone is just completely wrong and it's somewhere no one has guessed.
Are they? Sad...
That would be an interesting turn of events
Yeah a few people be like: So what’s the next map ?
TK's probably telling them to fuck off?
anyhoo, I must go tend to the garden. Enjoy your banter and tinfoil hats!
yessir
Good morning. It's Mexico.. that's all.. goodbye
🙂
Watch it be a place near Mexico but not Mexico 😂
Central America lol like Guatemala
Did te awaroa have a clue
It had 4 if I remember correctly
Or northern South America like Columbia
What were they
If word/name Fernando is the real clue so we can wait a hunt reserve whit other spanish name
Reserva Carlos or Reserva Esteban
XD
A video showing TKs head on NZ, a drawing of a helicopter, a picture of a gorge, a drawing of a rifle and something else maybe
Np
Estancia Don Jose
XD
For the tin hat fellas... Tuesday after the stream, Meggles was here and I had a strawpoll open.. for a goof I asked her to go ahead and vote on what the next map would be.. not a lot of votes were coming in.. after she reacted to my msg, +1 vote appeared for Mexico.. ..x-files theme plays
Where did Mexico first come from? I'm not sure on that
Was just sorta thinking about how water ties everything together. The gourd holds water, Layton has a lot of lakes/rains a lot. Could the Fernando clue be because in the missions on that map deals with an underground spring? Which, honestly no clue where could be, but swampy or rainforest region maybe.
If it is mexico do you think mule deer will look desert ish or just copy and paste
From my teory i think xD
Gourd it's a two-way clue, is a Pilgrim Gourd and Water Bottle
In South Layton we can see a lot of history about the pilgrims/settlers, the Layton train tracks are related to the settlers, the CODEX say it starts at Layton Lows and goes east, we can see that the train track goes south...
Sonora Desert is towards the south of EEUU..
Water bottle = Desert
(Arizona or Sonora Mexico)
The arid area in the photo could indicate that this is so
Water gourd = Layton = Fernando
All three can be found in America
And possibly the new reserve has a spanish name
https://www.backyardnature.net/q/b-gourd.htm
Copy paste
Not even a question
kinda sad
Gourd= water bottle hinting desert
Fernando= an ABBA song about crossing el Río Grande
Layton= is from the side the crossing is being done
Would most likely sum up a mexican reserve well
I hope desert bighorn get better horns
Like rocky mountain elk and roosevelt
Reused animals, MAYBE a couple of reskins, would be likely
Which would be my own fears lol
EW has never made a full map of reuses I doubt they will start now
Of course not
But we will see how lazy they are willing to go
But I have a hard time picturing a mexican reserve that WOULDNT be primarily reused animals lol
Or reskinned ones for that matter
I also can't think of many unique animals that won't be a headache to animate
The one unique animal I can think of in a hurry is peccaries
The rest are either whitetail, mule deer or bighorn 2.0
Oh and shiny turkey
Out of these of course the only animal I'd dare say could be good is the "wee little piggy"
Gray fox could be an entirely new design even if its close to red fox kinda like grizzly and brown bear
So could be bobcat
Reskinned fox and lynx
And god I hope not, no offense intended but the grizzly has some major face issues I feel
Coyote coyld ve redesigned because it looks starved
The coyote is FINE in the body
Its the head that needs work
Same issue with the jackal
All animals have the same AI so this is a controversial opinion all animals are reskins of layton animals
No its body is skinny
Plenty of skinny coyotes out there
I hunt them irl they are way better looking than that
Sure they "poof up" during winter and autumn, but there's plenty who look "skinny"
All about the general region
For example
Grizzly is ugly as hell and caribou look like an insult to reindeer
I dont WANT to be nasty towards the modeler, but yes they do need some more cooking I feel
Animals after Yukon have largely been nice however
Its not the poofy fur
Its just normal sized
Skinny coyotes are found but they shouldn't be everywhere
Meanwhile, look at the one I posted further up
Pretty much the same
Im assuming the reason is because of fur difficulties with the game itself
Meh, I dont give a rats ass about size differences
But yes, Im assuming again that the fur was the issue. Look at the red deer from way back when the game released
Made them more "poofy" after truReds
But yea the coyotes can look skinny but why so small
@static matrix Random links do be random
xd
Aint going to click them for obvious reasons
Agreed
Thats a good looking coyote but they live horrible lives most dont look as good
Mabye its different from each state
@spring minnow Want to have a look at what Bosnjo is posting up there? Aint trusting it
How big they get
Yeah no, dont click those
Stop...you could give somoene a seizure
Cause here they get pretty big
He still has to stop
Well then tag a <@&393042322499305473> and get him out of here
Just ignore him he wants attention
lol
Again, dont click random links. This one may just be a shitty troll, but next time it's malware
xd
Unlikely from an HTTPS site but possible
@mellow barn
And now we're off topic again
Yes?
i banned him
Ok thanks
Thanks
🤝
I was sipping coffee trying to decide on a mute or ban. Thanks for deciding Scrubje. 🙂
my New opinion is it's all about the water all clues relate to water or a main lake or river, Amazon maybe?
You guys are quick at helping
Gourd and layton have water in common, layton and fernando have waterfowl in common
for anyone wondering the link led to a page with earrape, a jumpscare and flickering lights. Not funny at all.
Ye i saw
I think the main 3 ideas at the moment are
Africa 2.0
Asia
Australia
And Mexico
I wanna hunt in the netherlands 😂
Africa 2.0, Mexico and Australia, but close
Will there be a 3rd clue or is the next thing the announcement?
We'll know it when we get there
I mean what do the clues have in common? water? where is there water? EVERYWHERE!
The third clue was background of stream right?
Yep
So fernando
its the pic looking at sunrise from Parque Fernando
Ye
I still think it's Mexico but will know more tomorrow I assume
Posible Arid Zone
Gourd=Layton=Fernando all three can be found in America
Or Fernando name indicate other reserve whit Spanish name
Fernando Layton was an representative from ohio 1891-1897
What time is the gourd from?
it's looking along the river, I don't think the rocky parts matter it's all about what they have in common and from what I can tell it's water
Nile river
I could be wrong but don't all cotw clues point to something which makes sense when joined? Not so much the common thread?
Where are his ears!?
I can see where you are coming from but that's not what I mean
she literally says "What may these things have in common? what are the ties that bind"
Hey Im new but I have an Idea. The gourd is a Calabash Gourd, which are found a lot of places but I’m going have to pin the design of it to a South American Drinking Gourd. So a drinking gourd from South America, mix that with Layton and Fernando and... I think we might be getting an Amazon map. I’m almost certainly wrong but it makes sense in my mind.
I still think Yucatan Peninsula or northern South America
Could be getting a decent amount of drink time for mule deer on srp hehehehe I wish
I haven’t been keeping up well enough.
Are there any direct ties between Layton and Fernando?
Idk lol
That would be nice!
There's a guy named Fernando Layton who was an Ohian politician but that's about it lol
Mmm I don’t think they would care for politics in their clues
Well they all belong into the Americas somehow, Layton is North America, Fernando is South America and the gourd could stand for Middle America hence it would tie the bind of the Americas together. Dunno if that's right but makes sense to me
An old request to the COTW team ---> Have hunting by boat been discussed? That would possibly unite the two maps Layton and Fernando and the water?
that's a really interesting observation
Mmm I thought that might be too obvious.Seems like all we have at the moment. I believe that just points to Mexico still
what about the literal Tie the leather strap on the gourd is there a leather tie between the maps?
the whole "dive deeper" thing sways me to Aus tho
The "San Fernando River" is in Mexico. Hmm?
I'm 99 Percent sure it's Mexico
Everyone’s focusing on the gourd and Fernando. Does anyone know where Layton comes into it
Layton could tell us to research water, there's a lot of waterways in Layton.
....what about Panama? ...it literally ties Central America and South America together, being a transcontinental country. When viewed on a map, Panama is like the pinch-point of the Americas with the Panama canal forming a line dividing C.America and S.America - much like how the leather strap is tied around the narrowest point of the gourd bottle. Plus water-Panama canal link. Just another possible theory......?
I believe it’s New Mexico
I like the way you think
Whose ready for a Crazy theory?
Absolutely
Crazier the better.
Can’t beat my earlier theory though lol
Can’t beat the duck theory
What’s this duck theory
MEXICO PLEASE!
You mean Africa!
what if it's spelling letters from the maps, I got S from the gourd bottle strap how it is on the table, Y from Layton drawing the shape of the water, as well as an R and a F from Fernando following the water body
Now -.-
The gourd is a food ducks eat, and there was a duck survey not too long ago, there is a city named Layton in Utah right next to the Great Salt Lake, the single best place for bird hunting in the world, so we are getting another USA duck map with nothing but birds along with a rework
But that’s just a theory
And ducks are in PF, the song Fernando
I’m screen shooting this go prove I’m right
That’s interesting
Also to everyone focusing on the gourds ‘strap’... they are commonly used with straps just like that so I don’t believe it’s something to focus on
Another copy and paste map?
that’s my fear
I have my preferences but as long as it’s unique, I’ll be very happy
Don’t argue with them, clearly they never thought about it
What does Mexico have thats unique
Reason: Duplicated text
Not the map of Africa or Australia would have more copy and paste things
What is unique? is the same species and re-skins
Africa has dozens of other big game species to offer
BIG GAME
Africa copy and paste? o yeas, elephant, sable, great kudu, leopard, hyaenas, hippos, waterbuck.
Maybe I don't know, the CLIMATE !!
Yeah Africa has the most potential for species out of ANY continent I believe. Both big game, small and everything in between. Predators and prey of all size. Africa could be absolutely amazing if done well
Lmaoooo
Is all the same animals that we already have. Only pecari new
Dumbest thing I’ve heard all day
Hey it’s Friday does that mean we get a new clue?
Weather doesn’t effect you on cotw
It’s thrusday
At least in US
And Stockholm
It is?
It’s Friday here in Australia. EW should give me a headstart lmao
I swear I thought it was Friday
1:40am over here
any new revelations?
Assuming they have a 9-5
Yes
Never mind dismiss what I said
Check pins
the fernando image?
I am not saying that it affects only that Mexico would have a desert climate
Mexico will be a copy and paste map, with the same species already have (Mule, Puma, Whitail deer, pronghorn, coyote. Lynx reskin called bobcat, Bighorn reskin called Borrego. Thats all
Here is my message from earlier.
figured it out. So in Layton lakes, there is an outposts called ‘mount kraken outpost’. This directly southeast of this outpost is an outpost called ‘balmont northern outpost’. Now if you travel southeast of Layton lakes a couple thousands kms, you’ll reach Africa. In Africa there is a lake called ‘lake tanganyika. This lake is home to the cichlid Julidochromis marlieri. This fish grows to 15cm long. There is 15. Yesterday there were 6 new cases of covid-19 in Melbourne Australia, bringing the total cases to 15. So Melbourne is in the state of Victoria, this has a direct relation to the brand ‘Victoria’s secret’ as the map is a secret and we do not know where it is
I have cracked it
Bingo
Best guess so far
fr
Thanks guys
🤿
Yes
You welcome. Now i think we will have the victoria secret map. We can hunt pussies there.
get herpes?
I don’t under stand how someone can say “let’s get a Mexico map” and only reasoning is to hunt wt
Wait until Picsoul sees this
Yeah that’s painful
Layton is in North America, Parque is in South America, the gourd (and new map) are from Central America
I want NEW I want VARIETY I want UNIQUE
Let’s start a protest!
Re skinned cougars?
And the result?
Victoria Secret
Well you can’t say the whitetail are the same cous deer are vastly different from the northern population
Yeah, a reskinned version, like the rocky mountain elk and the roosevelt.
Caribou and Reindeer.
It’s still different
P sure roosie and rocky elk have rig differences
For many of us, nos different enough. Is basically a copy and paste
Guys show on this map where you think the Icon will go for your guess
But is ok, if some people want to hunt again and again the same models, with slighly different paterns.
Im in the other team. I want variety. real variety.
Ok well what I’m saying is other than a second Africa map or an Australia map you aren’t going to get many new unique species
In Africa you have hundress of options. Much more than in Mexico. And completely new
I understand that it’s hard for them to make a map with all new species and have 10 or more new species to model and animate along with a map. But they need to try their best and give as all the new species they can because after a few years of killing (mostly) the same species, it’s becoming really flat regardless of the map and landscape youre hunting
I mean i know some animators through discord and while it certainly isnt that easy to model, skin, rig and animate models it is most certainly doable to make 10 totally unique species in 6 months
And the best way for them to do that is a better Africa or possibly Asia. High numbers of never seen before but still realistic species
Absolutely. That is the reason why I'm starting to getting tired of the game and I play less than before. The game need a bit of fresh air.
That’s what I think. I think we should get 20 but I’m trying to be realistic lol
Are there perhaps any clues in the lyrics of the ABBA song Fernando?
Wdym, you have soooooo many unique species in Africa, not Australia, but sooooo many in Africa
Yep. It’s one of, if not my all time favourite game, don’t get me wrong I’m not trashing it. I love it. But it is getting a bit stale at this rate with repetition
i'd love an africa map
way more than mexico
Ooh yay me Just ticked over 1k hrs played
but mexico is more likely in my eyes
You also have to think people have been asking for pheasant for a long time and if they did do a Mexican deasert map they could do their four re used species and have three or four reskins that would require less effort than adding nine or ten new species it makes more sense from a business standpoint
@midnight mist 100% agree
no room on map given current sizes of icons for a Mexico map, Look at map above massive room from middle east all the way through Asia and Australia for a map though
They should just make an Africa based game with 50 huntable species on it
They could shrink the icons
Africa list : Great Kudu, Sable antelope, Sitatunga, Waterbuck, Dik Dik, Bongo, Elephant, White Rhino, Leopard, Hippo, Zebra, Giraffe, Klipspringer, Spotted Hyaena, Stripped Hyanea, White Tailed Wildebeest, Eland, Impala, Grants Gazelle, Gerenuk, Grevys Zebra, Forest Giant Hog, Nile Crocodile, Bushbuck, Hartebeest, Blesbok, Topi, Duiker, cheetah. Nothing around the world is comparable with Africa
surely they wouldn't squeeze another NA map below the 2 tightly squished ones already?
There is even more
Africa is just insane
Also some fowl
Well let’s look at it this way. Ew are a great group because they listen to their community more than most games I’ve ever seen. But at the end of the day, they still need to prioritise profits as any company does. They are going to create whichever map they think will sell the best. Now I think that will be something with birds of some description to fill that ongoing demand. Whether it’s pheasants, quails, ducks or geese. And anything else in extremely high demand, I haven’t really heard anything else
I know, Much more. I'm writing a book about African wildlife now. The list is enormous.
OMG that is epic, any idea when you are gonna publish it?
Also if you wanna know stuff about historically large nile crocodiles hit me up
tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if it was intended to be Africa 2.0 but then they had to reshuffle a bit to account for animal reclassifications in terms of IUCN status
I’m assuming you’re familiar with our friend Gustave
Gustave is very decent
There are many more though
Especially around Lake Chamo
Im a wildlife photographer, I been there many many times. From South Africa to the border of Kenya and Somalia. Almost all that countries. And the wildlife diversity there is just something amazing and impossible to see in any other continent on planet earth
Yeah, amazing to hear that
Me too man do you have any online portfolios?
Would love to visit Africa sometime
Me too! Damn I hope that’s our next map
Im still writing. I select only 50 species because in other way will be endless. The most emblematic and that ones that I have photographies in my stock
Is somthing that YOU SHOULD to do. really at least one time in your life.
The great migration in Serengeti is something that I see three times. and the 3 times I started to cry like completely idiot
@fringe oasis if you wanna see Africas biggest crocs id recommend Lake Chamo in Ethiopia, the biggest measured nile crocodile skulls from there and there was a 5.8m specimen shot there. Pictures and videos indicate nile crocodiles over 6 metres in the Lake
I definitely want COTW to become a little bit arcadey, adding elephants and the like. However, I understand that other people want a more realistic experience
You can find very large crocs in the Grumeti river in the western corridor of Serengeti. On the road between Seronera Valley and the coast of Victoria Lake.
Go other channel africa lovers...
Interesting
Oh ye sorry
Yes, of course
Jambo Bwana
Every years each 6 months ppl here only speak of Africa... Is boring really
Maybe because we are tired to hunt in NA
They need to make an African game and put the top 50 species in it. The africa map nazis can go there and we can get Mexico, Australia, and an Asian map 🙂
Australia species... Kangaroo, Dingo, rabbit, hare, feral pig, feral camel, water buffalo, fallow deer, red deer, samba deer, geese, ducks, Salt water crocodiles, feral donkeys, rusa deer, banteng, magpie geese, paciffic black duck,grey teal duck, pink eared duck, hardhead duck, maned duck, feral cats, feral horses, muttonbirds, wallabies, feral dogs, hog deer. I mean it has a Ton of animals and these are hunted legally here.
I have no issues with an Africa map, but we should cover the rest of the map before doing duplicate areas
Please dont touch my precious salties XD
haha
More Africa Species : thomson Gazelle, Beisa Oryx, Honeybadger, Forest Buffalo, Lechwe, Uganda Cob, Reedbuck, Steinbock, Lion, Cape Buffalo, Serval Cat, Caracal Lynx, African Hunting Dog, Derby Eland, Baboon, Black Backed Jackal, African Golden Wolf, Warthog, Suni Antelope. In many africa countries is legal too. You can hunt black rhino in Namibia if you have the money to pay the licence.
they are the only one from my list that are not legal to hunt and I wouldn't want to either, they are scary I live in Darwin, so very careful around water
Black rhinos are critically endangered
So u want kill each animal in africa?
Yeah Rhinos are in extremely bad shape
Outlaw Hunter 2022 (?
Poaching Simulator
Thing about the salties is they have a bad temper lol
Angry fellas
Africa is big, with a lot of ecosystems. Vurhonga is in the drakensbergs in the Free States. You also have the Kalahari desert, the Namib dunes, the etosha steppes, the marshlands of okavango delta, the jungles of congo and gabon, the endless plains and miombo of tanzania, and the nyka from northern Kenya, Etiopia an Somalia
Still off topic
Yes but are legal to hunt in many places.
Me everytime i open this channel
Make a AfricaLovers channel pls
Yes!
That would be great ngl
I would enjoy it
In your book please include freshwater fish?
I know man and like I said, I would have no problem playing it and hunting it and would buy the map if that is the one they released.
No, only mammals at the moment
I would love a game made by EW that was just Africa and this game that has a small variety from multiple locations 🙂
Sadly I don't have photographic material of fishes. I'm very bad underwater photographer.
Especially with the gators around lol
I did it in Florida, photographing manatees. Have some gators around.
If the water is clear and you have somebody in the kayak watching around, is ok.
Dark waters, never.
Ngl gators are pretty chill
Man I miss Steve erwin that dude was crazy brave the shit he did was amazing
Yes they are. They don't want problems.
I'd still stay far away myself lol
!Off topic
CLUUUES
any new one?
I think we've exhausted everything
we need meggles again lol
We have like 7 valid theories by now
we are bored again 🙂
damn this channel, its 2am here and I need to get up in the morning
Mexico, Africa, Texas, Australia? another?
Meggels is probably reading the chat 😂
Wouldn't be surprised
And laughing about our theories.
her and TK are probably in a discord call laughing their asses off rn...
Evil laugh at that😂
Nah those are the ones but i meant like 7 valid theories as to how the stuff could tie in
They're off the clock most likely
Where are any of the mods actually?
