[sharp jewel]

Dk

[midnight moon]

I’d think the color would maybe?

[sharp jewel]

That’s a hard one to know

[verbal lichen]

Donkey Kong?

[sharp jewel]

Don’t know

[verbal lichen]

Im joking lol

[midnight moon]

You’d have to think they’d base it off wingspan too but I haven’t read anything about wingspan being a measurable.

[verbal lichen]

tru span

confirmed

[sharp jewel]

Lol

[midnight moon]

anything new from day 1?

Looking at the screenshot it looks like the rear wing feathers are grey, has this always been on the model? This is usually what I’ve seen bright blue on mounts.

[sharp jewel]

Could be new fur variants

[sharp jewel]

This is a real one though go check on ones in game

[midnight moon]

Yea that’s what I’m curious about - if that’s part of the model change.

[sharp jewel]

I’m sure you could find quick images on the internet

[midnight moon]

This is the old model.

[sharp jewel]

Really I thought it was way cooler but up this close it looks kinda sad

[midnight moon]

Can’t find many shots on google that show the top of the wings.

[stiff leaf]

im silently thinking: ronmctube thumbnail

[midnight moon]

Looks like it was grey like in the CU screenshot.

[sharp jewel]

I you can see the clue in the wings

Lol typo

Blue is what I meant

[midnight moon]

I mean leave it to EW to think up a cool way to do it, but I can picture bino out over a lake and catch a glimpse of a big duck with blue feathers and knowing immediately.

[sharp jewel]

Ik right

Can’t wait for the update

[verbal lichen]

I feel dumb for thinking it was a new hint because i just glanced over it

[midnight moon]

Lol

Naw just trying to see the old model

[bold meteor]

Any new ideas about what the new map is going to be?

Or is it still Canada or Sweden?

[midnight moon]

Yeah

[midnight moon]

Hopefully tomorrow's stream confirms one of the two.

[verbal lichen]

ive said it multiple times and hell, imma say it again. Dont be suprised if we get a teaser trailer

But dont be suprised if we dont

[midnight moon]

I'm very confident we'll get one at the end.

[deft widget]

I hope so and if so it better show either a king eider or pintail

[verbal lichen]

oops

[verbal lichen]

imagine if it shows a GO moose with a flock of ducks flying over it and some in the back\

And if its a swamp map i wanna see a GO moose with moss all over its antlers while its feeding (if its in the trailer)

[fallow comet]

has any one thought it might be p.e.i or p.o.w

[wind ridge]

I don't think that will happen, the GO will come later, placing a new reserve together with a total change of textures and mechanics for the waterfowl rework by itself is too much

they can't risk the game breaking again

[fallow comet]

this is true

[verbal lichen]

no

[fallow comet]

what dose that meaan

as in no we haven't thought that or no we have thought that

[round pine]

Could be p.e.I

[deft widget]

That’s what it needs to be of so that would be epic

[fallow comet]

i just thoght some of the promotinol materiel looked like p.e.i

[midnight moon]

And that is…

[limber cliff]

Prince Edward Island

I think?

[round pine]

Yes

[fallow comet]

yes

[limber cliff]

Canadian province, East coast “and then some” or something

Like near Nova Scotia

[midnight moon]

I know where it is

[limber cliff]

Oh

My b

[woven scarab]

Mallard curls have nothing to do with age or size. Ita a plumage thing. That all started when the young cats started running and gunning and not knowing anything about the hunt

[pallid void]

"...We also dove into a number of upcoming improvements for ducks and geese including..."

Has anyone gone down the rabbit hole...with Megs using the word Dove, and the last picture seems to have another bird in it besides the mallard?

[blissful scarab]

Will they have a stream today?

If so maybe more clues then

[tawdry nebula]

Yeah mostly

[potent bane]

Why? What if it's a Scandinavian map?

[simple silo]

7h till stream 🤩

60/40 its 🇸🇪 hope so

[peak cedar]

Considering it’s “dove” and not “Dove” I don’t think so

[woven scarab]

Divers? Redheads, canvas backs, seaducks. That would be cool

[split charm]

It might be a dove actually

[midnight moon]

Maybe they're going to finally offer a tease at a full blown sequel? Going off Meg's capitalization of Great in the recent post.

Expansive World's motto is "Making the Great Outdoors Greater". Maybe it's about to get even Greater?

most likely a Great Lakes ref though

[split charm]

I made a comparison between a real Dove flying and the bird besides the Mallard from the #📢︴game-news community post pic

[pallid void]

Hmm, when i see it like this, i think it's more likely that it's just another Mallard flying left to right.

[split charm]

Who knows!

[lusty orbit]

Anything new before the stream?

[split charm]

Nope

[lusty orbit]

ok

i don't think we are going to get much from the stream either

June is still a month away, and unless they plan to release earlier this year, i think they are going to drag this one out

[hidden quest]

I think next update is going to be late this month, they said that the month of May would be a big one and they usually release an update in the spring, last one was February, so quite a while ago.

[midnight moon]

So is the community update come out for you guys yet

[limber cliff]

Taco are you in the US?

The anything’s usually happen around 11ish am

[midnight moon]

Yes

Ok

[mighty dove]

3-4 hours

It seems so far away

[tiny quiver]

Are there doves in either Sweden or Canada?

They are around the Great Lakes so I think they might be In Canada too but idk about Sweden

[split charm]

There are in Canada

Idk about sweden

but that bird might not be a dove

[tiny quiver]

Yea I heard some saying it was a woodcock others say it’s a dove

I originally thought it was a seagull

[split charm]

same

[stiff leaf]

Hey, just so I know, whens the stream starting EST time?

nevermind, i found my answer

[wind ridge]

Is another mallard

Or a pterodactil (?

Just wait for the devstream, evertything about clues has been said, there is nothing left to add or search

[terse girder]

ThT is the most innacurate pterosaur ive ever seen :)

[wind ridge]

But he is a happy pterosaur 😅

[bold meteor]

Two more hours till the stream starts!

[midnight moon]

what time zone are you?

i really wouldnt expect much on today's stream in terms of reveals. im sure they will go through the clues and talk about it and hype it up...but i dont think we are done with clues yet.

[bold meteor]

EST

[midnight moon]

definitely tune in - jaxy loves talking clues season. he probably has a good amount to say about it either way. my guess is today will be more about the waterfowl rework - which is also exciting!

[strong fern]

It's mallard

I can see there green-ish head

[verbal lichen]

what time do they stream?

[wind ridge]

In 3 hours

[bold meteor]

Don't they stream at 11?

[verbal lichen]

imma try to sneak it in class

[radiant osprey]

Jaxiy mostly talks about how important it is to tune in next week.

[verbal lichen]

i guarantee its gonna be the trailer or devbuild then

[wind ridge]

Idk here in Argentina is at 13hs and now is 10:15hs

I think in sweden they are i summer time

The video lists on youtube have not been modified, every time they release a new teaser or trailer it is uploaded before and they leave it private to reveal ir later

[wheat mist]

that's just another mallard

[split charm]

Alr

[storm sphinx]

Im hopin for some new clues today

[jade thicket]

fingers crossed

[compact island]

Pterodactyl*

[wind ridge]

Is spanglish sorry xD

[compact island]

It’s ok

[midnight moon]

When strem

[candid pecan]

2 hours! 6pm CEST

[opaque shard]

Hoping for a trailer in the end of the stream🙏

[midnight moon]

You sound excited- I’m assuming you guys have something planned?

[graceful saffron]

Im hunting whitetail while I wait

[candid pecan]

I will not be in the stream sorry! Will be doing Dad things at that time!

[opaque shard]

Aw too bad but would you say the stream will be worth watching?

[midnight moon]

When is the stream again

[mighty dove]

2 hours

[midnight moon]

Ugh

12:00 right

[mighty dove]

Yep

[midnight moon]

Seems so far

[limber cliff]

Doves are damn near everywhere

Just specie variants

[limber cliff]

You’ll be missed

[candid pecan]

I will need to try organise a stream I can join again! I miss it and I miss everyone.

[midnight moon]

i agree - would be awesome to see a TK cameo on the big screen!

[limber cliff]

Can’t wait to see it 🙂

[tiny quiver]

🥲

[split charm]

I think teaser

[terse girder]

That genus does not exist.

So therefore, you are wrong, too.

Wait nvm its a group I’m stupid

[odd gull]

yea the speices name is pteranadon

[wind ridge]

I don't think that happens, the video lists on youtube have not been modified, every time they release a new teaser or trailer it is uploaded before and they leave it private to reveal ir later

[split charm]

so what will we get in this stream?

[midnight moon]

Exactly. No teaser today unfortunately.

More vague hints at best

[mighty dove]

We might get more clues or general info

[split charm]

Kk

[sinful vale]

I hope on a new animal reveal ngl

Or another animal

revealed

[midnight moon]

They like to draw it out longer bc it really increases their viewership. Meggs has joked about that before

[wind ridge]

Maybe a new image and an explanation of the changes that will be applied in the waterfowl rework

[split charm]

a pic or a video?

[sinful vale]

Another animal in a pic

Cuz it could give us further pinning to the location

[split charm]

yeah that would be cool

[sinful vale]

cuz mallards are in the whole northern hemisphere

so not rlly a good pinpoint

[uneven bloom]

I have a feeling we're going to be left nowhere closer to figuring it out after this one too tbh

[mighty dove]

Don’t say that

[quaint lintel]

gm yall, are we ready for the stream?! What u think they gonna show or say, the teaser or just a clue?!

[mighty dove]

Positive vibes ✨

[split charm]

Maybe a pic with an animal from the map

So a clue ig

but i would like to see a teaser

[quaint lintel]

If they don't show the teaser today, then the map is fs coming out in June not May

[warm basin]

When is the stream in central US time?

[split charm]

In 10 mins

[quaint lintel]

Wherever you are rn, it's in 10 mins xD

[split charm]

yeah lol

[warm basin]

Oh w

[quaint lintel]

It's 8:50am for me rn

[midnight moon]

stream

is it

here

[wind hemlock]

Yes

[acoustic elbow]

lessgooo

[split charm]

NEW CLUE

[wind ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvs6QObaEC4

[mighty dove]

Yooo

[uneven bloom]

Pretty sure that's SRP.

[split charm]

oh then my bad lol

[midnight moon]

Yes that's srp ^^

[split charm]

im dumb lol

[mighty dove]

Oh, the image

I thought it was something else

Yeah, that’s SRP

[quaint lintel]

That's srp lol xD

[storm sphinx]

we gotta chill

[deft widget]

now we have to wait another like 7 minutes for the stream to start

[quaint lintel]

K, we'll get our clue on the stream, see u there

[odd gull]

it might be sweaden

[storm sphinx]

i hope it will

[odd gull]

thay have mallerds and the trees in the pics

[midnight moon]

why is it always sweden in everything and not finland or norway

[wind ridge]

is other NA map... so...

[midnight moon]

yay

[raven juniper]

Ohai Jaxy

[stark jetty]

I think we’re getting a northern Alberta or southern Saskatchewan map

I think it’s not Saskatchewan though seeing that Saskatchewan has no mountains

[cinder scarab]

Clue season? welp time to spend time on cotw

[odd gull]

im team sweaden

[raven juniper]

My sis is visiting over from Sweden and I showed her the confirmed clues, she thinks it looks a lot like Sweden

[dense birch]

its hard to say looks like canada as well XD

[odd gull]

yea sweden also has mallerd and moose and i think thares a good chance of getting moose GO

[potent bane]

South Sweden

[odd gull]

i dont think canada has mallerd

[potent bane]

They do

A lot

[raven juniper]

Layton is Canada

[potent bane]

No

[dense birch]

yes we do we have them everywhere XD its like our main bird when it comes to hunting

[odd gull]

no its in the us

[inner wasp]

Yeah we actually do

[odd gull]

oh ok i dident know

[split mortar]

Layton is Washington

[wheat mist]

oh

[limber cliff]

Are we still arguing where Layton lives?

[potent bane]

I live in South Sweden and the community updates look a lot like the nature here, and there's loads of mallards here as well.

[wheat mist]

so it could be just an expansion of an existing map

that kind of makes sense

[midnight moon]

is srp in montana?

[glacial summit]

colorado

[odd gull]

"why do you think moose GO" Jaxy

[vapid garden]

Layton's 100% at least partially in the US

[midnight moon]

oh yeah thats right

[round pine]

You’re in Colorado

[midnight moon]

that picture looks like a mix of layton lake and silver ridge peaks

[glacial summit]

Your moms a colorado

[potent bane]

It's srp

[gaunt valley]

that looks like silver ridge

[uneven bloom]

Fishing officially de-confirmed.

[dense birch]

it looks like canada too. i see those types of trees here. its hard to say as from what i saw sweden and canada are pretty close when it comes to the trees

[odd gull]

yea thay used trees from both

[glacial summit]

That picture is srp?

[split mortar]

Good

[gaunt valley]

yes

[odd gull]

most maps thay just use the same trees but change them a bit

[midnight moon]

i wanted fishing önönönönönönö

[potent bane]

Yeah that is very true. South Sweden would be hirsch 2.0 though with the animals so it wouldn't be very fun, but then I really hope it's not another NA map

[dense birch]

i mean it could just be layton too XD

[split mortar]

It’s called the hunter not the angler

[odd gull]

i dont think so

[quaint lintel]

It is something that will never happen in cotw, but people will still think it's coming with each update xD

[round pine]

The angler cotw

[midnight ridge]

They sent out surveys about angling a while back

[potent bane]

There's other fishing games

[midnight moon]

Call of the water lmao

other fishing games suck

[storm sphinx]

maybe we might not get any clues?

[potent bane]

Make a better one

[midnight moon]

fishing planet would be good if it was not pay to win

[odd gull]

then thay would have to call it fishing and hunting call of the wild lol

[dense birch]

ya i love maps in general alittle biased but i just would love to see dall sheep wood ducks and beavers

[midnight ridge]

Coarse and Carp is good. It’s by Dovetail Games

[midnight moon]

I enjoyed russian fishing

[strong fern]

What happened when I gone?

[glacial summit]

Fishing

[midnight moon]

Jaxy confirmed that its africa

[glacial summit]

Lmao

[dense birch]

that being said another map with ibex would be great

[strong fern]

No way

[potent bane]

Sure

[odd gull]

yea lol

[inner wasp]

Did he really?

[potent bane]

I wouldn't mind another ibex map

[odd gull]

no

[midnight moon]

Yeah. He said theres gonna be blackbear and non typical lions

[raven juniper]

A french alps map with alpine ibex would be fun, a VDB expy from Classic

[potent bane]

I wish

[glacial summit]

The trolls do be out

[odd gull]

i still think a bigfoot event would be cool like the werewolfs in classic

[midnight moon]

Anybody catch anything

africa 2.0 would be nice

[wheat mist]

Cameroon map pog

[glacial summit]

Covid this morning thats all tho

[quaint lintel]

Himalayas!

[midnight moon]

lol

[nocturne fjord]

I dont think they want cotw to be a scary game...xD

[quaint lintel]

@storm sphinx didn't mean to respond lol

[midnight moon]

keep your eyes out. if id have to guess...they are going to drop a clue today, but obviously it wont be a CU post if its today. Jaxy was quite...on the nose...with the next clue coming soon.

[midnight moon]

I'm sorry to hear that but I meant the stream

[glacial summit]

I still think hawaii is the play

[dense birch]

omg i would love a africa 2.0 so many more species to do and i want a map that makes me terrified to miss XD

[quaint lintel]

Himalayan map would be cool, with Yaks, snow leopards, bunch of Ibex and more

[odd gull]

thay would have to it could just be something you find hurt and you mercy kill it or something like that

[midnight moon]

i want south east asia map

[limber cliff]

Okay.. just got off a work call, anything good while I’ve been afk?

[strong fern]

I want a swiss alps map

[glacial summit]

Well thanks lol I missed the stream and people in here seem to know a…well…not much so Im just waiting fir a teaser trailer

[nocturne fjord]

moon map 100%

[midnight moon]

i want a map of the whole world with all the animals that exist

hmmmm...keep an eye on the ending screens after the stream is over...

[round pine]

Did you actually get covid?

[nocturne fjord]

that would take several years for them to release

[glacial summit]

Idk I fee like shit and was working on with someone who had it so I think thats what it is

[glacial summit]

really

Only several years

[nocturne fjord]

I mean...

depends

[round pine]

Rip

[nocturne fjord]

if its a scale map then like 10

[glacial summit]

Ok when he says all the animals

what does he mean

Cause like its not even possible

For starters

and even if it was only all big game animals and birbs it still would take like forever

[round pine]

Yeah. Way too many

[glacial summit]

And can you imagine the bugs?

[nocturne fjord]

they need to add flies that you can kill with a salt gun...

[storm sphinx]

all good 😂

[limber cliff]

I mean… go get tested fam.

[nocturne fjord]

l o t s

[glacial summit]

Pffft I already feel sick and Im not leaving the house so I don’t see the point

Ain’t nothing a bowl of mac n cheese can’t fix

[nocturne fjord]

flex tape*

[midnight moon]

Lmao

[odd gull]

im still hopeing for more xs size multi mounts

[glacial summit]

The body may be slowly disintegrating but the mind and heart stays strong with the power of flex tape

[nocturne fjord]

yes

[limber cliff]

Riiight… finding out if it is or isn’t and helping minimize effects by informing who you were in contact with if it is.. totally not useful for immunocompromised folks 😂

[keen belfry]

So there's apparently a new feature that may be revealed on Tuesday

[limber cliff]

Next Tuesday?

[keen belfry]

Yes

[midnight moon]

Give us teaser tho!

[quaint lintel]

We're getting something new (new in game feature) before or on next Tuesday

[midnight moon]

Then show feature on the new map

Oh my bad

[odd gull]

i hope we get a teasser like the gator for a GO

[midnight moon]

Next Tuesday

Something is coming

[limber cliff]

Sounds like a movie trailer

[sudden topaz]

So what did jaxy say

[glacial summit]

God damnit I only have so many Tuesdays in my life lets speed things up

[odd gull]

GO turkey lol

[lunar crag]

Chewsday

[nocturne moon]

No North African map 😢😞

[vivid cosmos]

so what was the resolution of the clues?

[sudden topaz]

Ohh so I’m assuming waterfowl rework is on Tuesday

[vivid cosmos]

so waterfowl rework

[sudden topaz]

Ig

[vivid cosmos]

thats nice and expected

[sudden topaz]

I don’t really know because I can’t listen to it rn

[glacial summit]

innit

[vivid cosmos]

oh they are up right now? I thought I missed it

[midnight moon]

What are they saying in stream?

[split charm]

I think we will get a clue at the end of the stream maybe

[midnight moon]

hmm

not in game

[uneven bloom]

No clues are in-game.

[split charm]

Yep

and they said there is a lot happening

[vivid cosmos]

so the pics are all we have

[split charm]

Holy cow im excited now!🐮

[inner wasp]

They haven’t said anything about waterfowl and nothing about when it’s going to release so where you got that assumption I don’t know

[vivid cosmos]

I'm pretty confident its the waterfowl rework

thats nice

[midnight moon]

i don't care what the map is i want to know the new animals

[tawdry wing]

moon map confirmed

[vivid cosmos]

not a map

they just said

[midnight moon]

Stream has said nothing…?

[tulip hawk]

Anything since the stream started?

[split charm]

what minute

so map extension?

[midnight moon]

Bruh

[inner wasp]

It is going to be a map

[tulip hawk]

It's not a map*?

[midnight moon]

On stream they just said it’s NOT a map??

[vivid cosmos]

I don't know where he got the info

[quaint lintel]

Jaxy said on the stream

[vivid cosmos]

there then they just said it

[midnight moon]

Yeah

[tulip hawk]

Time stamp? Unless you don't want that's fine

[quaint lintel]

I'll send the time stamp once the stream is over and posted

[mighty dove]

No map? 😮

[tulip hawk]

Ight

[midnight moon]

No map

[split charm]

omg

[midnight moon]

i think he was talking about the additional stuff coming.

No map.

[split charm]

so map expansion ?

[midnight moon]

N

O

[split charm]

and maybe new animals

[odd gull]

time stamp for the start and end done

[sudden topaz]

Because they’ve been hunting at one since the first pic..

[split charm]

new birds?

[vivid cosmos]

not likely

[tulip hawk]

Scam I thought we were getting a map. It's probably a good thing tho since I want an African map so bad

[midnight moon]

So no map

[mighty dove]

So they are not doing the 2 maps per year thing?

[odd gull]

hippo for africa 2.0 would be cool

[vivid cosmos]

guys conect to the stream or wait an hour for the responses nobody knows anything yet

[ashen pine]

Who said we won't get a map?

[quaint lintel]

I think we're still getting a map in June

[midnight moon]

no new content at all

[dense birch]

wonder what it will be

[vivid cosmos]

jaxy

[midnight moon]

@vivid cosmos

i am almost positive you all heard him wrong.

[sudden topaz]

WHAT

[midnight moon]

all the content will be removed from the game in the next update

[glacial summit]

hawaii is the new map calling it

[split charm]

man i am a bit disappointed if we dont get a map

[midnight moon]

he might have said its not a map - but i dont think he was talking about the coming dlc.

[sudden topaz]

No map?????

[vivid cosmos]

we will see anyways

[round pine]

I think he meant that it’s a different feature being teased on Tuesday.

[winged topaz]

No 29$ fortnite gift card ??

[glacial summit]

Well we could yk ask him to clarify?

[mighty dove]

Now I am even more excited

[midnight moon]

@agile mortar

[vivid cosmos]

I was quoting Zareh B.G.

[mighty dove]

Don’t ping Jaxy

[midnight moon]

yea...he was talking about a new feature that is being announced this week.

[midnight moon]

No map? So maybe this idea again? The announcement of a full blown sequel. Making the Great Outdoors even Greater. 🙃

[vivid cosmos]

he's in stream right now

[glacial summit]

Ok?

[mighty dove]

He will come in and comment when he can

[ashen pine]

Just started watching the stream and thats what I understood

[warm basin]

What I miss

[round pine]

A lot

[glacial summit]

nothing pretty much

[mighty dove]

Two different answers lol

[pulsar owl]

Several are asking about the map statement no response yet on it

[vivid cosmos]

just the start of the stream

[midnight moon]

yea...he just said new music is coming...means new map.

[jovial whale]

sounded like he said 'next tuesday, announcing new feature, this isn't about the map........oh wait not map, feature... i dont know if i just put my foot in my mouth" and started laughing

this was earlier

[dense birch]

is that new music or from something else

[mighty dove]

Sounds like we need to wait for him to comment in here and give clarification lol

[split charm]

the next thing we see is going to be juciy

[sick gate]

feeders?

[split charm]

thats what he said

[vivid cosmos]

it's the new turkey caller that is also a radio that plays heavy metal

[acoustic elbow]

anything new?

[split charm]

hope we get clue today

[midnight moon]

So next week they are releasing a feature, or revealing it, but it’s NOT A MAP

[glacial summit]

Yes

I guess

[dense birch]

oh nvm its existing music lol

[split charm]

so we are going to get a map

[uneven bloom]

...I am actually beginning to suspect we might be getting boats.

[midnight moon]

obviously could be anything...but if i had to guess, based on all the information we have currently - they are about to drop hunting from boats.

And we can assume we are still on schedule to get a map in June

[keen belfry]

Yes, along with the map

[glacial summit]

Its fine I didn't want a map anyways

[midnight moon]

Hunting boats 💀

[bitter badger]

Is it boats that go wooshwoosh, or boats that go NYOOOOM?

[sick gate]

Boats or Feeders have been asked for a long time

[midnight moon]

i would think its going to be a p2p system...but itll take you middle of the water to hunt from.

[dense birch]

oh true that would be a feature

[coral folio]

my wishlist besides new map or new great one:

New Photo Mode

New callers

Animals identify the colors of our clothes

Baits for attract animals

[wind ridge]

next update is -MWP Update- not a version change (map)

the map is coming in june

[simple silo]

if we getting boes they gonna be like on CC , so nothing special here 🙂

boats

[lusty orbit]

Only thing i want is a filter in the trophy manager

[round pine]

I just feel like baiting isn’t really needed with the way zones work

[midnight moon]

So what are the clues about

They don’t even remotely hunt towards boats

[vapid garden]

needzone rework wen

[midnight moon]

it makes sense...if they reworked how waterfowl sit on water...again - they probably could have easily worked in a boat model to that code.

[vivid cosmos]

That is one of the biggest issues in COTW for me

[mighty dove]

I would like to be able to rename lodges

[midnight moon]

boat driving...possible...but i dunno. p2p system where boats transport you to the middle of a body of water?

[vapid garden]

always has been

[round pine]

Yeah

[ivory arch]

alright any updates

[uneven bloom]

The game is built around the need zone system. They more than likely can't change much about it.

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah true that

[nocturne fjord]

I think that bc they are going waterfowl rework they are gonna add duck boats and boats in general

[lusty orbit]

They could maybe make the time they are used random

[round pine]

I mean. A few years ago I would have said the same about the scoring system but they changed it

[vivid cosmos]

It's still an issue to me tho

[vapid garden]

There's a lot of ways they could do it

Rn at least in my opinion needzones are too reliable and there's almost never any variety

[vivid cosmos]

I mean if they rework waterfowl by making them like in classic that means they won't have needzones

[hidden quest]

I’d like for animals to roam in feedzones, feed, get up and move a little, feed, repeat

[vapid garden]

but they did say something about hunting pressure working different so that might help with that

[mighty dove]

Instead of huddled in one spot

[jovial whale]

yeaaaa. i want to wander the world and see anything, not wander the map and see nothing unless im at a lake

[vivid cosmos]

Hunting pressure will become a forcefield that pushes animals into oblivion

[vapid garden]

Like the animals in classic still feed and sleep and do their own thing but they don't go to the same spot at the same 1 hour interval

[hidden quest]

It would make stationary hunting a little more viable too

[vivid cosmos]

And you still know in which area you should look for different animal species

[acoustic elbow]

we are getting boats

[mighty dove]

I never thought we would get boats

[vapid garden]

ye

[vivid cosmos]

Have they said it already?

[acoustic elbow]

he mentioned the boat clue

[umbral rampart]

so the right answer is in here somewhere it seems

[vivid cosmos]

If the Waterfowl rework is just a boat I'm getting real disappointed

[quaint lintel]

I always say, if you wanna guess what's the next content is, don't think BIG!

[mighty dove]

I always thought boats would be too OP but if they do it right I am sure it can be done

[keen schooner]

are the clues just the pinned photos?

[strong fern]

Yes

[vivid cosmos]

I would just go to parque big lake and shoot everything from the middle

[quaint lintel]

We'll most likely won't be able to drive boats because just like animal hair, the engine got issues with water mechanics too

[native trout]

I haven't been follow the COTW for a few months but I'm intresting about the new map. Do you already know something guys?

[mighty dove]

That’s my reason for them being too OP lol

[round pine]

He says that no one got the first clue

[mighty dove]

Perhaps if he told us

Jk

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah I don't think boats would work

[keen schooner]

im guessing it is another map based on small animals or maybe it is just a new boat DLC working on the same concept as the ATVs

[midnight moon]

The shores of sweden

[round pine]

Yeah

[sick gate]

did he just say "when I land on the shores of sweden"

[mighty dove]

The first photo was the one with the dock, right?

[midnight moon]

yea

[round pine]

Think it was the other one of the lake

[keen schooner]

I think they would choose Scotland or England for hunting more waterfowl and small animals if they were too as North America seems too full of these maps

[ashen pine]

This one

[quaint lintel]

It was the second I think

[round pine]

Yeah

[sonic drum]

So showing a new feature first the. Whatever map/map extension after it seems

[vivid cosmos]

Maybe a swamp map with the boats

[strong fern]

• hmmmmmmmmmm mode activated *

[quaint lintel]

Acres?

[mighty dove]

People have said boats and waterfowl. What else could the first clue be

[sick gate]

nevermind he said he is moving to sweden

[vivid cosmos]

Maybe one with much more water

[round pine]

Well we already knew that. But the way he said it was strange

[strong fern]

Archipelago map

[hot gazelle]

anyone have a link to high res images for the clues?

[vivid cosmos]

Acres doesn't have enough water to justify a boat

[vivid cosmos]

Classic is coming to COTW guys

[odd gull]

sweaden map cuze jaxy is moveing thare?

[midnight moon]

I have not been paying attention I need someone to tell me a recap

[quaint lintel]

Based on this clue .... it ain't a swamp map xD

[dense birch]

aw looks like it will be sweden i want a canadian map so bad lol hopefully someday

[vivid cosmos]

We are all rambling

[glacial summit]

Are we sure its a map?

[split charm]

are we even going to get a map??

[strong fern]

What did he say about German map

[glacial summit]

I left for a moment

[strong fern]

?

[mighty dove]

The stream has made us more confused

[vivid cosmos]

That's Layton

[vivid cosmos]

On the contrary

[glacial summit]

seems as though the stream was as clear as mud

[fair belfry]

America or canada

[vivid cosmos]

Pls no

[fringe oasis]

You already have one

[dense birch]

like sweden is being talked about a lot lol so its pretty hinty

[vivid cosmos]

Just stop with north America

[round pine]

Why

[fringe oasis]

Another NA map? Really?

[round pine]

There is a big variety of game in NA

[vivid cosmos]

There are not many more animals to add

[wind ridge]

yes, really

[round pine]

There is tons. Wdym

[fringe oasis]

Nothing compares with Africa

[limber cliff]

No one has confirmed it

[strong fern]

Badgers

[vivid cosmos]

Like 3 subspecies of deer?

[wind ridge]

maybe will be a NA map, stop cry

[round pine]

I mean I would also like that lol

[vivid cosmos]

We ain't getting subspecies of anything but turkeys

[strong fern]

Antarctica map 🗿

[round pine]

If you think that’s all there is to add you clearly don’t know about the variety of NA game that could still be added

[glacial summit]

hawaiii

[limber cliff]

Penguins and jaguar seals only 😂

[split charm]

NEXT TUESDAY WE WILL SE SOMETHING

[round pine]

Yes

[dense birch]

another week of guessing XD

[quaint lintel]

Jaxy just said he's gonna show something next Tuesday ... I'm 90% sure it's the teaser

[split charm]

yep

[wheat mist]

jaguar seal, you mean.... leopard seal?

[limber cliff]

“Next TOOSdey” it was the greatest enunciation

[fair belfry]

Boats?

[mighty dove]

Next Tuesday…I’ll never make it

[fringe oasis]

The release new clues today?

[limber cliff]

Yes actually. I was looking at a photo of a jaguar on my monitor while typing 😂😂😂

[wheat mist]

lel

[mighty dove]

I’m passing away

[round pine]

L

[fair belfry]

Like canoes?

[wheat mist]

ducks in the hunter feel more like hummingbirds

[round pine]

Skill issue

[quaint lintel]

So basically today's hint was that the next thing we're getting is on Tuesday...

[round pine]

The reveal of something is next Tuesday

[tacit minnow]

Yup

[silver fog]

This was all right?

Or did I sleep through any news?

[strong fern]

It has to be something very big

[uneven bloom]

That was all, yeah

[vivid cosmos]

Man not to start an argument but they won't add squirrels and subspecies of sheep or deer, we have the elks, the moose, the predators, maybe you could add little birds but all the non native species that got introduced shouldn't count

[split charm]

yeah

[wheat mist]

there wasn't anything else afaik

[uneven bloom]

there's also going to be a "highly requested feature" included in the update

[silver fog]

Ah, saves me from skipping backwards later lol

[glacial summit]

Boats?

[silver fog]

Fishing obviously

[limber cliff]

It’s the pic where the cats coming up from underwater and the surface tension turned it into a blorb

[round pine]

I’m not talking about non native species

[wheat mist]

I think he kinda hinted towards expanded maps but thats prolly just me

[glacial summit]

If its fishing

[silver fog]

Joking aside tho, actual highly requested features

[pulsar owl]

Fishing was denied today on the stream

[round pine]

He said fishing won’t ever be in cotw

[glacial summit]

Extended yukon?

[silver fog]

Trophy camera probably?

[glacial summit]

Dall sheps

[wheat mist]

he disproved fishing

[glacial summit]

that would be sick

[wheat mist]

yeah Id love a trophy camerra

[acoustic elbow]

I'm guessing the requested features are loadouts

[quaint lintel]

What's bad about not getting a clue today is that I missed a gym appointment for this stream 😂

[tacit minnow]

Don't think anything new was revealed today

[vivid cosmos]

Then tell me what map could they add with more than 7 new animals in NA

[round pine]

Bruh

Artic map

Ez

[silver fog]

Arctic map would be... eeeeh

Dunno

[round pine]

Also like no map has 7 new species

[vivid cosmos]

True

[silver fog]

Vurhonga

[half bison]

And if it is SEASONS (Winter, spring, Summers, fall)

[vivid cosmos]

Let's add 5

[silver fog]

If we're talking existing ones lol

[hot gazelle]

Well JB confirmed that whatever it is that is on the 2nd image was said. We need to focus on the first image...he said it has not been noticed yet.

[vivid cosmos]

Hares, polar bears...? And?

[round pine]

Like the only one. Cuz like obviously there wouldn’t be whitetail or something there 😂

[silver fog]

Muskox probably

[vivid cosmos]

Dall sheep

[barren bobcat]

If its arctic balck grouses would be cool

[acoustic elbow]

sitka deer

[silver fog]

I doubt it's arctic tho

[round pine]

Artic fox. Musk ox. Sitka.

Snow geese

[silver fog]

Anyway

[vivid cosmos]

That's five, ok tho if they would make an artic map I doubt it would be NA

[round pine]

Why?

[silver fog]

If you want the most bang for your buck, pun intended, your best bets in terms of wanting a new map with lots of new animals would be another african map, Australia or Texas.

[round pine]

Please not Texas

[barren bobcat]

Imagine shooting seals on ice

[vapid garden]

giraffes on texas map

[vivid cosmos]

:v

Canadians would get a club

[silver fog]

If you want more animals from the southern bits of Asia, thats your best bet, just saying.

[rancid pecan]

anything happened while i was away?

[barren bobcat]

Maybe another africa map

[tacit minnow]

The ducks reworked liking brings them landing on ground and not just water

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah and Africa

[uneven bloom]

There are zero clues pointing to Africa at this time

[silver fog]

Africa can fit plenty

[silver fog]

Yeeep, sadly.

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah

[fair belfry]

Canada?

[silver fog]

Anyway

[quaint lintel]

Stream is posted, go to 34:15

[rancid pecan]

so what happened?
confirmed canada?

[uneven bloom]

Canada or Sweden are the popular guesses

[silver fog]

We're nowhere nearer than we were yesterday

[wind hemlock]

Loadouts for a feature

[quaint lintel]

Stream is posted, go to 34:15

[wind ridge]

Canada #🦡︴cotw-scotland message

Sweden
#🦡︴cotw-scotland message

[uneven bloom]

No solid info given, aside from "tune in next week"

[silver fog]

I'll bring up this collage again

[vivid cosmos]

We sure have this picture

[round pine]

Wow. Not assuming about a whole country or anything

[tacit minnow]

There is a boat and a dock in one picture. So possibly ability to traverse water

[quaint lintel]

34:15 on the stream what I was saying Jaxy said, go check it out

[fair belfry]

Wetlands..

[silver fog]

The screenshots dont narrow down anything aside from being in the holarctic region

[fair belfry]

Canada..

[silver fog]

Foliage and terrain, could be anywhere from France and eastwards until you hit the tip of atlantic Canada

[round pine]

Watch it not even be a map

[vivid cosmos]

There are mallards in France?

[silver fog]

Mallards can also be found across this entire range so those dont narrow it down either

[vivid cosmos]

Ok then

[sudden topaz]

It’s Sweden

100%

[fair belfry]

Not to my knowledge

[regal ferry]

Mallards are almost everywhere

[silver fog]

Mallards have a STUPIDLY wide range

[vivid cosmos]

Sweden has any cool antlered species?

[regal ferry]

Mallards are in all of Europe

[silver fog]

Literally around the world

[vivid cosmos]

That is stupid wide

[regal ferry]

Also, Jaxy said the pictures with the ducks might not have a new map in the background

[vapid garden]

Mallards in Africa 🤔 So you're telling me there's a chance

[wheat mist]

muskox are game?

[fair belfry]

It is

[wind ridge]

There are mallards here in Argentina too

[regal ferry]

Those might have been just to show of the new duck model

[vivid cosmos]

Or hint the rework

[regal ferry]

Yeah exactly

[sudden topaz]

Jaxy was hunting at Sweden, right?

[wheat mist]

the model is new?

[vivid cosmos]

That could 100% be layton

[silver fog]

Hol' up

[silver fog]

EXTREMELY limited

[glacial summit]

no

[regal ferry]

Yeah, it is I am told

[silver fog]

But kind of

[round pine]

Mostly the same that is in the game already lol

[wheat mist]

then doubt

I miss mah dall

[vivid cosmos]

Then meh to sweden

[wheat mist]

oh and sitka

[silver fog]

Mostly is an understatement

[round pine]

Yeah lol

[wheat mist]

A sweden map wouldn't have anything new in terms of big game

[silver fog]

Literally every single one

[regal ferry]

Also, Jaxy said that people have already guessed correctly, so we don't need to focus on new ideas then have already been said

[fair belfry]

There are mallards in Australia..

[silver fog]

At most they could do scandinavian moose as a subspecies but... well...

[round pine]

Mallards are like everywhere

[silver fog]

Thats just a rack downsize

[round pine]

That won’t happen

[slate thunder]

Hello everyone e 👋

[wheat mist]

it would be pretty much a boring combination of europe + NA

[silver fog]

Greetings

[wheat mist]

hi

[round pine]

Considering they did whitetail instead of coues

[wheat mist]

coues?

[tacit minnow]

Perhaps ducks to srp, boats to layton, and the ducks fixed

[hot gazelle]

He stated the clue in the first image was not found yet.

[slate thunder]

Made a discord just for this 😃

[glacial summit]

Couuuuuuse

[quaint lintel]

On 34:15 on the stream Jaxy says: "Let me tell you this, between now and next Tuesday and it may be on Tuesday, we're gonna reveal a new feature, so it's not even have anything to do with a map, It's something Juicy, that is happening with a game!"

[silver fog]

Even as someone super biased and wanting a scandinavian map I admit this

[glacial summit]

Still pissed they didn’t add couses to rancho

[vapid garden]

epic desert deer

[quaint lintel]

On 34:15 on the stream Jaxy says: "Let me tell you this, between now and next Tuesday and it may be on Tuesday, we're gonna reveal a new feature, so it's not even have anything to do with a map, It's something Juicy, that is happening with a game!"

[regal ferry]

Yeah, but also that's people guessed thing completely right already

[strong fern]

Antlers shedding?

Boats?

Seasons?

[wheat mist]

thats just a white tail with another name

[wind ridge]

the waterfowl rework

[round pine]

It’s a sub species

[regal ferry]

Yeah, but on other points he was talking about a map

[midnight moon]

no this would be something additional.

[ashen pine]

This clue still needs an explanation. It doesn't show any mallard nor any boat, It has to be a new map

[tacit minnow]

The first picture shows a boat with docks. Both sides of the lake

[sudden topaz]

Exactly

[uneven bloom]

We already know about the waterfowl rework.

[wind ridge]

but we haven't seen how it works, it's probably what they will show

[wheat mist]

I thought he meant that nobody noticed the map in the screenshot is new, hence no one got the clue

[midnight moon]

jaxy admitted a few times today...the clues point to a map. he said it a few different ways. the feature is something else. its not the rework...he couldnt talk about it and they have talked about the rework for a while.

[ashen pine]

Exactly

[vivid cosmos]

They wouldn't be down playing a map

[tacit minnow]

And he did say it's a business and they need income.

So it's likely a dlc of some sort

[vivid cosmos]

They want the whole community to hype for new maps

[wheat mist]

btw whats the last dlc map

[vivid cosmos]

Mississippi

[wheat mist]

and when was it released?

[glacial summit]

so basically its just another easy money grab

[vivid cosmos]

Christmas

[vapid garden]

december

[wheat mist]

and the map before it?

[round pine]

Rancho

[wheat mist]

date?

[vivid cosmos]

We are aware of the pattern

[quaint lintel]

Late June

[vivid cosmos]

But it's not just maps

[unkempt mesa]

do in linear interpolation

[strong fern]

Background possibly a new map???

[wind ridge]

is SPR

[vivid cosmos]

The dogs got released as well in a
Map date

[midnight moon]

i dont think so. i really am starting to believe the map (although where all the hype is being put) is just the canvas for what they are about to do. I am thinking the rework is REALLY the centerpiece here. I think there is an obvious GO coming...they just teased a new feature...i think there is a LOT more to the rework than we realize.

[unkempt mesa]

silver ridge peaks ?

[wind ridge]

yes

[wheat mist]

what if

[vivid cosmos]

I hope so

[normal cliff]

If its not a map, it'll probably be fishing getting added, they did a survey all about fishing last year.

[lethal rapids]

what the fk that is srp

[harsh mist]

Its quite clear that we are getting a New feature...duck rework and a New map...

[regal ferry]

I think you are right on the money

[vivid cosmos]

I hope a huge change comes

[wheat mist]

fishing has been disproved

[uneven bloom]

Silver Ridge Peaks.

[uneven bloom]

Jaxy said outright that fishing is never coming to the game.

[midnight moon]

jaxy confirmed again on stream today fishing will NOT coming to COTW anytime soon.

[forest sphinx]

Hi, i think i heard they will never implement fishing

[wheat mist]

also after the stream I'm certain the clues aren't related on the next reserve at all

probably the next map will be a different thing

[hidden quest]

didn’t he say that fishing won’t come to the game anytime soon, but they won’t rule out taking a stab at it?

[wheat mist]

these clues are just related to the upcoming update

[quaint lintel]

The Fisherman: Chill on the Water

[vivid cosmos]

People forget about the bike, hike and horses part of that survey

[unkempt mesa]

is this also silver ridge peak?

looks like te awaroa .

are they dpoing rework on turkeys as well

[regal ferry]

After this I am however very sure that it will be some kind of monitized dlc

[wheat mist]

probably, they need da money

[uneven bloom]

Definitely not anytime soon, and more likely in a separate game altogether.

[tame storm]

Definitely not either of those maps. Both are summer time and extremely green maps

[wheat mist]

turkey rework as in visual?

[vivid cosmos]

Turkeys behavior needs some love too

[quaint lintel]

Maybe a new Fishing (separate) game from EW sometimes in the future? 👀

[vapid garden]

turkeys are very not fun to hunt as they are

[unkempt mesa]

i think there is one fishing sim which is not from EW

[lusty orbit]

couldn't watch the end of the stream, i assume there is nothing new?

[wheat mist]

gotta say the cotw turkeys are some of the most uncanny birds I've seen

[quaint lintel]

Jaxy said he's gonna show us some on next Tuesday ... most likely Teaser

[lusty orbit]

ok thanks

[regal ferry]

I'm guessing showing of new upcoming features instead of a teaser

[wind ridge]

I think they are misunderstanding things, just remember, the NEXT update is a big hotfix -MRP hotfix-, this will include the sights and the waterfowl rework

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah

[wind ridge]

It is what they will show next week, something differs from the map that will come in June

[quaint lintel]

That might be the actual teaser xD

[vapid garden]

the ones in classic looked like goblins

[regal ferry]

I'm started to believe this as well

[midnight moon]

I dont think so. the CU post specifically says "Last week, we shared an updated issues list which showcased a number of confirmed fixes to accompany the next big content release" - content release, not a patch.

[quaint lintel]

Maybe a 30 sec video of a few duck species landing on the ground on a new map (perfect teaser)

[regal ferry]

Which tbh, could mean good things as in what we would get

[vivid cosmos]

But they had a bit more of a realistic AI

[wheat mist]

crossing fingers for fixed carnivores

[vivid cosmos]

And angry meese

[vapid garden]

ye turkey hunting is very nice in classic but

creature

[vivid cosmos]

And buffalo debuff

[quaint lintel]

Oh yes!! Moose should be as aggressive as Buffalo

[wheat mist]

why

moose and buffalo are nothing alike

moose are way more shy animals

[wind ridge]

#📢︴game-news message

[quaint lintel]

Cause they are both aggressive in real life if u disturb them, but only Buffalo in game

[vivid cosmos]

Because they can target you from 500m and chase you for a mile

[wind ridge]

a hotfix still needs to be implemented before the map

[vivid cosmos]

Nope man they fight bears and kill hunters

They are the king's of the forest

[quaint lintel]

I just hope Cougars and Gators will be aggressive one day in the game

[floral blaze]

I didn't catch today's stream because I've been super busy, did I miss anything important?

[glacial summit]

nah

[vapid garden]

I'm sure they'll roll out tons of fixes with the new content

[vivid cosmos]

And grizzlies

[glacial summit]

doubt

[midnight moon]

historically they drop a major patch at the same time they release dlc.

[quaint lintel]

Yea, all the bears

[vivid cosmos]

Cougars are actually shy if you wound them

[wheat mist]

yeah so? they still aren't as agressive as buffalos

[tame storm]

grizzlies in cotw are no longer aggressive?

[wind ridge]

Continuing on with the waterfowl improvements and fixes that came with the MRP, you’ll see more polish and optimization for animations, environmental interactions, and behavior. This includes balancing the use of Need Zones for both ducks and geese.
#📢︴game-news message

[quaint lintel]

Not as much as when Yukon was released

[wheat mist]

moose are rather shy creatures even if they are mighty and can fight large predators

[tame storm]

I'd consider that a plus considering that they would hunt you down as soon as you shot on release

[vivid cosmos]

Hmmmm I don't know man they kill a lot of people, you are correct not as much as cape buffs but they should be like lions are now maybe

[wind ridge]

the waterfown rework and the sights will be what they will show next week, DIFFERENT from the map

[wheat mist]

yeah I agree that if they never attack in game they should change that and make them attack sometimes

[wind ridge]

nop a map

[vapid garden]

everything in cotw is either overly aggressive and wants to turn you into paste or not aggressive at all

[quaint lintel]

I wonder if animals in UH will be aggressive, Imagine an African Bush Elephant charging u in savannah xD

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah maybe as lions are right now

[wheat mist]

like I'm not against them being more agressive but making them as agressive as buffalos is just extreme

[vivid cosmos]

It is extreme for buffalos as well

[wheat mist]

buffalos are jerks and may attack you for no reason at all

[vivid cosmos]

Agreed

[quaint lintel]

The buffalos that charge me are blind ... I'm standing and not moving and 80% of the time they miss their charge lol

[wheat mist]

yeah their ai is kinda bad

[nocturne fjord]

thats how memes are made...

[regal ferry]

I think I agree with this, but I would then expect a map very soon after

[wheat mist]

you can just avoid them by moving to a side

[vivid cosmos]

Regardless of all the AI issues that won't happen anytime soon

[wheat mist]

the only times I've hunted buffalos were like that lol

I just want iberian wolves fixed, cuatro colinas is like the map I hunt the most in

im kinda spoiled from it

[vivid cosmos]

And the clues haven't showed a single brain or neuron

[chrome oyster]

Please tell me is there any clue bcs i missed the stream

[vivid cosmos]

I like that I feel like a matador with a crossbow

[wheat mist]

I used the shotgun

pew pew

[vivid cosmos]

Yes that is the macho way to kill the buffs

[wheat mist]

it's kinda ass hunting them without the proper gun

but now I have the regent things are gonna change

[vivid cosmos]

I miss being able to shoot them in the brain

[regal ferry]

Nothing really new, but something will be shown next week, probably a new feature

[wheat mist]

also is it true the only weapon I can use to hunt rabbits and ducks is the shotgun with the small anima ammo

[regal ferry]

22 lr works too

[chrome oyster]

Thx

[regal ferry]

Think its only in the weapon packs though

[wheat mist]

ooooo I didn't know this

[regal ferry]

Yeah, its by far the best way to hunt ducks currently

[wheat mist]

oh it's a paid dlc? rip

😔

[regal ferry]

Actually, 22 Hornet should also work if I recall

[silver fog]

All 22.'s are dlc iirc

[regal ferry]

But you need the Mississippi map for that

[silver fog]

The pistols and both rifles

[regal ferry]

And the 22 Hornet rifle

[limber cliff]

Bows and arrows 🙂

[wheat mist]

so basically its impossible to hunt small prey with full integrity without the dlc?

I hate bowhunting

[regal ferry]

Shotguns, but you need to get close

[wheat mist]

well at least for rabbits getting close isn't much of a problem, they are kinda dumb

[regal ferry]

As someone trying to get all diamonds with a bow, getting reminded of this frightens me

[limber cliff]

You’ve got limited options - but they exist.

Up to you to choose your weapon.

[limber cliff]

I ABSOLUTELY believe in you!!!

[visual void]

Ness help

[regal ferry]

The ducks will make me cry without question

Oh no

I just got reminded of the Quails

[hot gazelle]

Yeah,they also plan to speed the birds up. I think that with that change they need to fix red dot and reflex sight to allow faster targeting. Those sights should not slow down your ADS movement at all. Scopes don't so why should they?

[regal ferry]

Oh no, I will be tracking those birds fo hours....

But that will be a while away anyways, still need to get many easier ones

[sinful vale]

Any new pictures?

[wind ridge]

nope

[sinful vale]

No animals or whatever?

[wind ridge]

nothing

[midnight moon]

ok - so we are winding down toward the end. I am guessing one more clue is coming...just based on what jaxy said ealier in the stream but id have to guess we have mostly everything we need to make a solid prediction on the upcoming content.

[mighty dove]

A smaller-medium feature or DLC leading into a new map

That’s my guess

[round pine]

Everyone acts like they are way more aggressive than they are. They are blind wimps

[mighty dove]

Moose can be aggressive though

[midnight moon]

i semi agree. i think the rework is dlc sized. but i dont think its dlc. i also dont think the feature will be dlc - they would call it dlc just from a legal standpoint i would assume. i think we are getting additional items that are dlc size, but itll be an update.

[regal ferry]

Grouse can be too, but the fact they can be don't mean they are very often

[round pine]

Rarely. They false charge more than anything

[mighty dove]

Yes, but it happens

[wind ridge]

exactly, the next update it's just a rework and hotfix

[regal ferry]

Well, they were very clear on needing to money to keep doing what they are doing

[round pine]

I’m aware. But to make them anything like Buffalo would be so weird. I’ve spent a lot of time irl in the vicinity of moose and have never been charged

[wind ridge]

this is the next update
#📢︴game-news message
Map will come in June in a DLC

[midnight moon]

oh of course. the map will be dlc. i started to think the map might be free and there was additional dlc coming - but im hesitant to think that after today. i think the map will be dlc.

[mighty dove]

Oh no, not that aggressive

But that rare instance of being charged would be cool

[round pine]

That’s what the one guy said lol

Yeah

[wind ridge]

yes, the new map is a DLC

[regal ferry]

I genuinely think they will add some sort of paid dlc with the waterfowl rework, that won't be a map

[round pine]

Buffalo and bison need to be turned down on the aggressive factor as well lol

[midnight moon]

What happened

[regal ferry]

Tbh, it could well be a retriever dog

[midnight moon]

During stream

[round pine]

I just want to be able to hunt ducks properly

[hidden quest]

I wouldn’t be so sure about that, there’s a chance you’re right, but also a chance you’re wrong. They haven’t exactly been predictable lately

[midnight moon]

its quite possible. i would have expected it to have been said by now (and not called a feature) but could be a dlc i suppose.

[mighty dove]

Yeah, I was agreeing

[regal ferry]

Hmm, good point.

[wind ridge]

This is the next update
#📢︴game-news message
It's already said

[midnight moon]

ive had suspicions for a few days now that the map is not the centerpiece this spring. i think the rework is. yea the map will be paid dlc...but its the canvas for the things that are coming.

[wind ridge]

no other DLC will come since there is no way to support it, with the new map they will have enough

[midnight moon]

ive suspected that they are about to content dump on us...and the reason they showed the map in screenshots before release is because its not the "big reveal".

I hope they just rework the current duck DLC

Obviously

[regal ferry]

That is a very exciting thought you have there

[midnight moon]

What did they say in the stream? If anyone wants to recap it to me

[regal ferry]

Nothing really new, but some kind of reveal next Tuesday

[midnight moon]

Oh ok

Nice

well i mentioned a few nights ago i think there is another dlc coming - didnt know what...i did state i thought the map might be free and the other dlc would be paid...i dunno - i dont think thats the case now...but i definitely have had my suspicions the map is a "front" of types because we expect a map, but its not the big reveal.

[regal ferry]

Well, they did say they wanted to do the clues like this to keep more as much as possible bandwidth clear for the new features

[midnight moon]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they physically altered/expanded Layton

I hope that

[regal ferry]

So there is a lot coming for sure

[midnight moon]

ok - here is the reason i started thinking this way...i think the map is sweden 100%. i pushed saskatchewan really hard...thinking it was that...but putting 2 and 2 together...im 100% on board with sweden. the ONLY reason for this is the 5 year anniversary. its a celebration map...its a map that celebrates with the community, but gives back to the devs...a passion project as it were. thought it might be free like the pistol was, but again - i dont think anymore.

The geographical terrain is just weird

[midnight moon]

Why is it a “celebration” map

[midnight moon]

because its the 5 year anniversary of COTW.

[round pine]

5 years of cotw. Devs are in Sweden

[midnight moon]

I think they chase the hunters- and 80% of their played base is in Canada and the US. It makes sense to make maps there

[midnight moon]

Doesn’t mean anything tho

But it’s possible that’s what they’re doing

[hidden quest]

I don’t see anything that points towards what you’re saying tbh. Yes next update will have the red dot sight update and waterfowl rework but I still don’t see how you’ve gotten that information from that unless you are referring to the “continuing on with the waterfowl improvements and fixes that came with the MRP” which just means that they are going to further improve the waterfowl next update.

[midnight moon]

oh i might be absolutely wrong. i have no more knowledge than anyone else. i am prepared for that.

[jade hamlet]

Is the stream still going?

[midnight moon]

Guys I honestly think it could just be more duck species- if they added 3 way to Missipi or something

[uneven bloom]

Ended an hour ago.

[midnight moon]

The dev team can only do so much

[jade hamlet]

No real 'clues' then?

[midnight moon]

Think between release of MAP and now- they’ve already done a lot

[wind ridge]

no

[cold belfry]

Sweden map also makes sense because we only have two european maps out of 11

[midnight moon]

How much more can they do, looking at how much they do

[regal ferry]

At least you admit that, makes me appreciate your input very much

[mighty dove]

At this point it’s all guesses until we get confirmation

[round pine]

Yeah

[midnight moon]

Europe is also a small continent with animals that are covered elsewhere and a small population of hunters

[mighty dove]

We all have our own theories, but until we get more solid info all we can do is wait

[regal ferry]

I think you underestimate how many hunters there are in Europe, is just that in Europe people are not as open about it as in the US

[midnight moon]

but i do think...if its a celebration map...and its sweden...its a passion project. its not the big reveal. they have also hyped the heck out of the waterfowl rework. i think that is the main "theme". if this is the case...as i talked about last night...i do believe the GO will be a mallard (and happy to explain again if needed) and...and man this is crazy speculation...but i think hunting from boats is coming. i dont know if it will be drivable boats...but i do think hunting from boats is coming. i think the fact the dock is in the 2nd pic is a subtle clue.
