We have wild reindeer
not wild
Yeah, lots of escaped reindeer turned wild
I think they are all in Russia
Norway has a population as well in a national park
google Finnish forest reindeer
But there is also a rare Finnish subspecies
This exactly
wait you guys have forest reindeer!??!?!
well yeah, that
i thougth that they where extinct
not extinct, but very endangered
Some guy yesterday said you could still get tags for them though
good news
Few Forest reindeers are hunted yearly, but wolves are eating them also, so population isn't growing too much
imagen if we get a owl specie it would be cool
The Finnish government only has them listed as near threatened
Permission to hunt an individual of the species, these are often limited with rare species irl, but we don't have a system like it in game
having tags sounds more like a The Hunter Classic thing
Having permits for each species is just incredibly annoying and boring imo
Even they don't have it. It would be a very big pain to deal with
Well, yeah. Not advocating for it, just explaining how it works irl
Ok thanks
But there are already animals in game that would require tags irl, so no reason not to but the forest reindeer in
Except perhaps range and stuff
Aparrently they are one of the biggest subspecies of reindeer
wtf french has reindeer ?!!?!
Wikipedia page I'm geussing?
yes
France is cheating, they put a couple on a small island near Antarctica which is technically france
So now Wikipedia says France has reindeer
so they shouldnt count?
Kinda
It's a bit wierd to say they live in France, they live on like Kergeulen islands
Don't they have a population in Scotland?
They also have a free roam herd, which I s what I was thinking of, but those aren't wild
iknow
so you want to shoot them?
O_O
yea but i dont think they will add beavers atleast maybe otters
and i also hope they add animal children in a future update
no
Sad it's not Australia
i had hoped for sweden but i am happy that it is finalnd
Confirmed: Whitetail, Brown Bear, Moose, Capercaillie, Black Grouse and Raccoon Dog
I expect: Forest Reindeer, Roe Deer, Lynx, Wolverine, Wolf, European Beaver, Mountain Hare, Fox, Bean Goose, Mallard,
Common Goldeneye, Common Teal, Eurasian Wigeon
I'm hyped for the amount of species there is
How do you know they are confirmed
I was wondering hat type of gun we're going to get with this DLC
Maybe a gun resembling Sako guns (finnish gun manufacturer)? like this TRG 22 (.308 Win)
I believe it was said on stream, but I'm only 80% sure
Sako's TRG series resembles fancy "AR style", they also have wooden stocks and more "old-shool" styled hunting rifles
(Screenshot from Sako's website to portray what I mean by "AR style")
Oh thanks
Any idea when the update drops? Need that weapon wheel on console lol
How about that! I hail from Finland and only last year got my hunting license as a middle aged person, looked around for a modern equivalent of Deer Hunter 2005 (played that a bit back in the day) and noticed COTW. Have used the game for practising shot placement [in order to be a better hunter IRL], participated IRL in driven moose hunting. Apart from that some small game hunting.
I hope they'd add wood pigeon (could be hunted like geese with decoys in a field). Also hope we'll see one day more cartridge types for rifles apart from soft points and polymer tips (say a 30-06 could fire a light quickly expanding varmint bullet but also a general purpose medium weight bullet all the way upwards of 14-15 gram / 220-240 grain bullets for larger game that is quite not possible anymore with say a 308Win), this would make different rifles more versatile like bows at the moment.
Possibly three weeks. That is normal at this point of announcement.
Yeah i think next week is like a stream on the map and details and then the next week if all goes to plan until release
...and for the record, while I am glad Finland will feature in COTW, I am also sad that Sweden did not at this time (five year anniversary and all). A bit like the summer olympics of 1996 went to Atlanta instead of Athens
Though we did get that Swedish handcannon (.454) of course 😎
If pointers are ever going to be a thing, they'll be a separate dlc
And will introduce a secondary way of hunting animals such as the capercaillie, the proper way
Keyword: secondary
Dlc exclusive
What maps that will get resets?
Almost all (more or less), so far except the SRP. But that can change.
Yes separate Dog dlc probably. And Finnish Spitz is better for Capercaillie and Pointters for smaller Grouse species. I assume that Capercaillie hunting is gonna be just stalking them with rifle and you sometimes heard that Capercaillie flicking sound
Idk if I am more exited for a new map with tons of fowl or for waterfowl fix
Anyways, I am off to do my grand goal I failed to do in 1st 100 hours
Anyways, the waterfowl fix is coming with Finland, right?
This map is gonna be full animal-wise. I know SRP has a habit of being too full, but honestly I don’t mind. It’s nice seeing animals roaming the map no matter where you go. I just hope they spread them out evenly so you are not seeing them here but not there, forcing you to hunt one area
And I am about to bring it up, but Hirsch has a habit of not being evenly spread out with its animals
There’s plenty there of course, I have no trouble finding them, but sometimes I will trek hundreds or even thousands of steps without seeing a track or hearing a call
(don’t kill me, Victor 😅)
Will this map be hilly?
I don’t think we can really tell until the full trailer is released
Ok
Anyways, getting my shotgun, getting ma 22LR, I am doing my goal before this releases, damn it
What’s your goal?
Tax every fowl species in game
Cool
All I need is cinammon teal
I have no fowl taxed except geese
I am a fowl enthusiaist
This map will be just right for you I expect
No more than 8, no less than 5 so some where between those two numbers
They usually cost a bit leas during first launch
All maps are 7.99 euros so I am hoping for at least 30,34% off
it'll cost the same as the other maps
According to TK it will cost around 3.50 euros
Or usd I’m not sure
interesting, cheaper?
they probably have something else planned after this like I said if that's the case
Yes they said they wanted to make things more affordable so everyone can play new maps but they still need to make profit
Based on every reserve released ever in this game. It'll be 4 weeks max after the teaser is shown for the release of Revontuli Coast
So either May 31st for 3 weeks or June 7th for 4 weeks 😛
I agree I’m thinking May 31st
My birthday, les go
then after I bet we're getting a Retriever DLC
It would fit with waterfowl
2 months after the map comes out
I thought the maps were already pretty affordable?
they said this on stream?
Yep two or three Tuesday streams back
interesting
I’m a duck hunter IRL and it is the best thing to have a retriever to go get the ducks unlike in game, you usually hunt in tiny areas with a few inches of water or you hunt on the deep sea and ducks do not float to you
But I get it from an developer standpoint to make it easier for players
What is the 1# species you want to see on Finland?
What is the 1# species you want to see on Finland? -> Capercaillie
Man i wish I was a duck hunter irl
We already saw it capercaillie
Can't wait for this map
OH SHIT I SEE A SIZE 7 RED DEER
IRL Capercaillie is so awesome. Mighty bird😎
a solider in norway got arrested for attacking a capercaillie and a skier got seriously hurt from getting attacked by one
What is the 1# species you want to see on Finland? -> Literally everything!
I got a list of game birds I want to see in the new map
Starts at page 17
Anyways, you a professional duck hunter?
I do love the capercaillie model
Are the birds shootable at trees? Or are they just on ground?
Where i can leave update suggestions
Wdym by professional as in my job?
Yes. Never seen anyone hunt for a job so I would be suprised if you are
No I am not I hunt for fun but I eat every kill i do do some population control in big cities though not with duck but with geese and iguanas
Cool
Yeah we got 17 iguanas and 1 goose last time
That is currently unknown although they would have to rework trees completely so I doubt it
Dang, they should be...
I’m not sure?
I would love to see turkey roosting in the trees in the afternoon or ducks roosting
Example straight from my backyard
Population reset: there's another one planned for the update that coincides with the new map. What is the change/feature that was added that would require a pop reset on so many of the maps? It looks like some of the maps from the previous major update and map (Mississippi) will get reset again.
Resetting home ranges so animal populations will spread out farther
All fowl currently in game are 3 turkeys,3 ducks, geese, quail and phesants, right?
Yes correct
I fucking did it
After 101.4 hours of gameplay... I taxed every fowl species in game
When tons of birds are added... oh shit, will it be fun
Try 250+ Bitch
What?
I’ve played it almost every day since release
Cool
Was that explained in the recent live stream? I haven't watched it yet.
I got it a year and a half ago, I think
I’m a goddamn physcopath
Yes it was
I once got a 1000 Eurasian Lynx
That was the old top score
That you could get for any animals
I’ve gotta go to my trophy lodge to take a pic
Finnish Forest Reindeer, and for waterfowl, goldeneye and eurasian wigeon
My #1 is also Finnish forest reindeer I would love to see reindeer in the thick aspen woods
Would love to see wigeon just because they’re one of my favorites to hunt
IRL
Yeah, finnish forest reindeer looks similar to a reindeer but they are 2 different species, finnish forest reindeer is also very rare with around 20 of them shot each year
They are also very beautiful
Could you imagine killing a huge diamond
That would be awesome
Yes they are my fathers favorite as well
In fact I have one sitting in my freezer
A wigeon not my father
Where are you from btw?
Anything new?
Murica how about you
Finland 😅
Good morning no not really
10 maps in total are getting pop resets . te awaroa
missippi acres
rancho del arroyo
vurhonga savanna
medved taiga
layton lakes
parque fernando
yukon
cuatro colinas
hirschfelden
thats... all of them
😳
will all tents and stands be lost?
nope
its just animals and zones
i wonder how they are redistributing these zones
for some maps
just look at Te awaroa though for eg its so much better with update
Good to see you back in these chats
I agree that’s the pop reset I’m looking forward to
Te awaroa needs it bad
Torille!
Joo
I assume you two know each other?
a lot of species that drink at night will drink early morning next update so it's a W
The new map just makes me want to sing...
Once I get the new map all I’ll be doing is walking around the forest with a camo 270.
What is wrong with you
Why was that video so cursed
I hope they have more realistic formations like this again example from backyard
Those are ducks.Although all ducks fly in different formations
Cursed?
The lady sitting in the hot tub
We don't, it's just kind of a tradition to say torille or torilla tavataan if you see other finnish people on the internet
It just means really messed up
Ok I get it sorry
This is my prediction for the 19 species:
Moose
Brown Bear
Finnish Forest Reindeer
Whitetail Deer
Wild Boar
Roe Deer
Raccoon Dog
Eurasian Badger or Red Fox
Mountain Hare
Capercaillie
Black Grouse
Hazel or Willow Grouse
Mallard
Pintail
Eurasian Wigeon
Common Teal
Goldeneye
Canada Goose
Greylag or Bean Goose
European or american beaver is also an option but I don't think it's very likely to come
Ah, that kind of image is from the monty python TV series. Strange cut/paste animations. Like Monty Python and the holy grail, the movie.
Ducks like spoonbill, old squaw and common merganser could also make it
By now with how species lists I’ve seen someone has had to nail it
Wdym by common teal?
I think we call them Eurasian teal here
There are 19 animals??
They commonly go by both names
The Eurasian teal (Anas crecca), common teal, or Eurasian green-winged teal
Now that I think about it wood pigeon would be a cool one but I don't think they'd add it
I agree, I waited years to get pigeons in the Classic, but never got them
Wood pigeon is also the most hunted species in Finland if I remember correctly
Are there squirrels in game? You know, like the rats in Classic
I don't think there will be more than the two announced upland birds
True
Yes I think top3 Is Wood Pigeon, Raccoon Dog and Mallard
Wood pigeon and squirrel’s would at least give us a new spin on things by incorporating the trees
They would have to completely redo trees so I doubt it but it’s a possibility
With the reset on all the maps are we gona have to find all our need zones again ?
They might do it because of the grouse tho
Yes you will have to find most zones
Also looks like there is a new .22LR ammo. Truncated cone bullet
i wonder why tho, the one we have in game already destroys any class 1
Yup Jaxybeard accidentally revealed it
So things like turkey headshots are possible
Nope AKA polymer tip
why would you headshot a turkey with a 22?
we already knew that one was coming tbh
Because if your hunting them with a 22. Irl that’s what you do it kills them on impact
So many maps. Been playing since epic gave the game free. I've bought everything but haven't even tried all the maps yet. Still excited for Finland
Yes they accidentally leaked it when Mississippi was coming out
Also doesn't ruin any meat
Yea
I think they have added all those species to compete with that upcoming hunting gamw
I'm glad there will be more species
Ultimate hunting
so you can hunt turkeys with a 22 irl? Everyone i asked so far has said no.
Me too I think it’ll be a big improvement
Ty I couldn't remember
In the us yes you can (only in some states) including Colorado which is where SRP takes place
Also technically you can hunt a turkey IRL any small cal rifle, shotgun, or bow in the US
Even an airgun
I expect with the release of Finland it will give them experience and info on if adding more species to other maps will work
I hope so I really hope they eventually add some upland bird to medved
Personally I love the state where I live mainly because we have Eastern, Merriam's, and Rio Grande turkeys
I hope they actually add the Wood duck to Finland. One of the best looking ducks. The Loon is gorgeous too
Where do you live New Mexico?
Washington State
Wood duck unfortunately are America-exclusive
I hope they have beavers in the Finland map
Ahh
I googled it and thought I read it's in Finland too
True
They could add them to Mississippi acres
They could add them to Mississippi acres
I doubt it though
me and my friends all agree that for some reason Washington state is bipolar in some way as one half of it is a rainforest and the other half is a desert and the desert side gets more snow.
possibly the reason that we have so many species of animals here
So it's not native to Finland but the Wood duck has been spotted in Finland as a result of escaped ducks. Wouldn't that be an awesome way to have a rare
Never been there before but sounds like an odd state
Yes there are reports of them all over the Nordic area.
where I live is below sea level and a couple years ago we had a tornado which is extremely rare for Washington state
I wish we could have mandarins in game
Im hoping for another species reveal friday
I would love to have mandarin and wood ducks an apricot of either would be a beautiful rare to get
Apricot wood duck
Apricot mandarin
Only a few states. South Dakota used to up until a few years ago. Now it's only shotgun and bow
Personally if they soon add a new hunting lodge I would love it if they made it have more mounting space and more rooms. Also a lot more multi mounts
I think some species reveals and model reveals from today to next Tuesday
Or just allow people to mount where they want
In most states you can use rim fire in the fall season
I.e, AR-15 smoking torkeys
I’m pretty sure next Tuesday is gonna be the full trailer
might get a trailer Next Tuesday
Looking at past schedules yes I think so
I agree
Generally when things begin to say "coming soon" for DLC they come within that week. If it has a month timeframe it's longer.
Parque was "coming soon" it came 6 days after the trailer. Same with Yukon which was 4 days after the trailer
I am assuming that the full trailer will be released next Tuesday and within that week or two the map will officially be launched. One week is usually reserved for the CCs to try it out first
I reckon release on May 31st
Taking my prediction 😩
Go way back in the chat it’s everybody’s prediction
I didn't see a single person state it before me but ok
It’s not that hard to figure out a loose date for the launch
Loose date
But I also haven’t seen anyone else say the 31st either
If I had a say it would be today
👏
Lots hope it’s not late release for console
I hope it's two weeks from now and it's a "coming soon" label. Would be more of a shock to people who don't know the pattern and such
Fingers crossed for console
Glad I'm on PC 😅
they did say the way things are looking sim ship is still the plan
Yes and as an Xbox player I hope it works out
When do you think they'll start releasing the animal info pics for finland?
Probably within the next week
I think they’ll release pictures but no info
They usually do it after the trailer has launched
yeah but usually we don't know what animals the new map will have before the trailer
and now we do
Not a full list
to keep hype peeked. One should be done almost everyday
But then again they seem to be doing things earlier than normal so we could get them at any time
With te awaroa they released pics of sika and hogs right after the release of teaser
19 species. It's easy as hell to dribble that out.
I think they might do one every day or every others day since we already got capercaillie image
yeah but the info cards is what I'm talking about
i mainly want to see if other older animal models got an update besides the mallards
Easy content for the CCs, more hype for the community. Nobody forgets about the map because it will be in your face everyday before release. Ideally CCs will get a weekend and NOT a full week to show off the map. Full week kills the hype.
They definitely have the numbers to do that, haha
I don’t think they are going to cover every species in the trailer or it would be like 5 minutes long but I think on Tuesday they’ll release a full or like70% list just to keep us guessing
you could easily do it in 1:30-2 mins
most of the ducks and geese will probably come in as mixed groups
similar to classic
They said they revealed it early so release is still probably in June
Yea but they don’t really do that IRL
Not necessarily
Late May early June
I don’t care if the trailer is long. Give me a whole backstory to the reserve while showing every animal. Get me hyped up
hope we get a brown bear multi mount of some kind
Eh it’s pretty rare for a mixed flock to come into the decoys
not what I was commenting on 🙂
Usually they’ll mix once they’ve started feeding
Sorry
Troo
I would love a long trailer just don’t think it’s ew’s style
ducks need to fly about 3x faster for the waterfowl rework to be good imo
Eh
Yea especially teal they’re like little rocket ships
The speed isn't really a problem imo if they work like geese then I'm happy
Very little
the speed is a huge problem for "realism"
But even huge ducks like mallards are still faster than they are in game
they also don't cut back and forth at 90 degree angles either.
They also don’t nose dive
I'm sure they will prob show it off Tuesday
im guessing they will be like thehunter classic
I'm excited to see geese on the water in hirsch
I hope so although ducks don’t circle like they do in classic they do sometimes but not often
maybe we will see next week
I think so (I hope so)
I think the next little bit you'll see towards the new map will be Thursday after the classic stream or Friday.
i think we'll only see the trailer next week, nothing else
because they've dropped a full on trailer after a classic stream before.
God I hope they do
I agree I think maybe another sneak peek at the species or maybe a stream where jaxy plays the map
I think that something is coming between today and Tuesday
Next Tuesday
Same
Any predictions or hopes for terrain and foliage on the new map
atleast one beer can
that has been there for like 5 years
for that absolute simulation
Or a pile of beer cans and broken bottles that have been there for 20 years
it'll be cool but i doubt anybody will see it often since the best way to hunt geese is in the fields
the best way probably won't be fields anymore
Geese are going to get need zones
perfect
They probably will not be same after this update
yeah the game is switching up in lots of ways this update is going to be exciting
Yeah, I’m excited
Imagine all the new albino and melastic animals
raccoon dog would be interesting one to see
these are new to me 🤔
are those from the new map or old ones
new
new map
damn
Look how pretty those pictures are
it looks like brown bear country to me 😛
Looks more like Layton
are those mountains on the background..?
ugh Layton
They have to have some sort of boundary around the map
^
Mountains and large bodies of water are their go to
it's not gonna be 100% realistic to Finland
BLASPHEMY
None of the reserves reflect their locations 100%
I’m interested in what types of geese and ducks will be on this map
They represent real places, but they are still fictional maps
they added the rally english already in the trailer!
Also hoping that ducks on the other maps will be actually fun to hunt
Hunting harlequins properly would be cool
the Western Capercaillie, Black Grouse, Brown Bear, Whitetail Deer, Raccoon Dog,
are raccoon dogs big or classed as vermin ?
Probably vermin
Moose and mallards are also confirmed
Moose from the xbox page, mallards from the clues
Raccoon Dogs aren't that big to be honest, around the size of a cat probably 
Vermin, they’re basically super fluffy raccoons
Yes
They are
Yeah, they come from Asia
yep theyre so invasive, but also very agressive
So we get to shoot fluffy house cats basically
Pretty much yes
rabie infested fluffy housecat/foxes without actual rabies
theyre worse then chiuahua
both are demons
Pretty sure raccoon dogs cause trouble to the waterflows in Finland which is why I like the idea to add it in finnish map
Relates well in the map thene
I always want to play cotw and then get let down by the way need zones work 😂
eh
thats why i dont change time as much
i just go and see "oh its this time" and i go check a few areas
Can they just call raccoon dogs "fake Wolverines" smh
No
I call raccoon dogs as "supi"
in poland we call em Jenot so the more english friendly version would be Yenot for yall to say
atleast closer when saying
Wolverines are a mustelid, raccoon dogs are canids
In Croatia we call them smeće
they're also more closely related to foxes than regular raccoons 🤔
So I had a thought last night. If brown brown bear ends up the GO. How would you grind them? I’m assuming females would make GO too right?
Not going to lie. Watched a show last night about hunting massive brown bear and it has me hoping they are the GO. Would be awesome.
Why do we even need new 22lr?
Unless it is like a 1-2 or 1-3 but I doubt it
We already have 3 22s
a semi auto 12GA would be good
What new ammo are we getting?
From what i read online racoon dogs are a type of fox
You know what would be cool: deployable boats
Maybe one for 22 ar
You deploy them, get across a river, and pick them up
Not happening anytime soon probably
Like he said candids
Can you guys believe there is gonna be 19 different animals on revontuli
Can’t wait to buy the new map
And its going to be the best map because its finland
Lol
Epic
That would be kinda cool
I honestly wish the bears would attack you more than they do but it’s good
I’ve never been attacked by a bear in game and I’ve been playing for about a year
Been there done that lmao
Yeah they are
Greater source of money is a friend with trash pc
The Animals spawn based amount of your friend's specs so if he has trash pc they will Go slower than you walking
Its hilarious when a bison runs full speed but it goes slower than walking for me
Wish it was the opposite 😔
?
The map is apparently gonna be half the price as well for double to species
Finnish bears and Finnish moose..
Source?
specifically for the price thing?
I wonder if wolfs are going to be in gaem
I was told it was stated in the ew stream 2-3 weeks ago
Bears are far more aggressive
I didn't hear anything like that in the stream
new maps tend to be a dollar off on release day, but they're always the same price
Neither did I but I’m not gonna go through 3 hours to find out
wouldn't be surprised if it was a rumor started by someone fishing for a reason to complain
Apparently it’s to “increase sales and make it more affordable”
No date set. Window of release is likely June.
it's finland i dont care if it was 20 euros i would still buy it
May 31st
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
🥴
possibly early June
Oh wait next month is june
May 31 or June 7
maps are usually mid/late June, but with how early we got this teaser, it might be an earlier release as well
Literally like 3-4 weeks away
We already got the teaser so late June is off the table
Considering how different the rework is from everything else they've done I'd say a little later rather than sooner
I wouldn’t say that at all. They’ve tested the rework for 3 hours already it’s almost done
Jaxy said on stream that it definitely isn't finished but he still got a chance to play with it
Do you mean Finnished?
Plus if they have more time hopefully the release wont be completely broken lmao
🚶♂️
So I would not be surprised if they announce something about the dlc at the end of May just saying unless it's already been said
And I wonder what new guns will come with the map
The general consensus is a new shotgun
a second 10ga would be nice
I’d love a Bockbüchsflinte in 12GA and 7x57
Like a geese shotgun that’s semi auto
exactly
I'd like a .410 shotgun honestly.
They already announced what it is it’s too early to say when it’s coming out
hopefully not
.
sad
thats whats wrong with this game, you have like 20 different species of deer, elk, moose and sheep, but they are just different skins basically, the overall experience is the same
Yeah, well, that isn't really the fault of the developers, is it?
Welcome to videogames
Where profit has more priority than quality
If anything, that's the fault of mother nature itself.
Also this lmao
then whose fault is it? the animal behaviour is incorrectly modeled by the devs
Depends on the animal
None
Cant expect them to make unique behaviours for most species
Its just a waste of money
There is room for improvement, but the devs are open to that. They are aware that there’s more to be done to the models in the game
I said, immediately after my first message.
its not natures fault if the animal behaciour is incorrectly modeled
Ibex hunting sucking is just because the map is weird for them
How is it incorrectly modeled in your opinion?
Depends on the animal, hold on i have to write a long message, and its only about animals i have experience hunitng
Like ibex hunting in cotw is literally no different from any other animal which is a shame because they're very unique
Sure, go for it, I'm interested to know.
Make sure to leave your thoughts in the feedback channel too
Wait is people having an argument about animals being similar in real life and being similar in game?
Not really an argument
See, this is the type of player you want to have.
What 19 animals do y'all predict being on the new Findland map?
The real question is. Do you want a double barrel or a semi auto?
Semi auto
Por que no los dos?
3 shot long barrel pump
A.k.a why not both?
Both? Both would be nice, let’s go for that
Semi-automatic double-barrel.
Lol
Im assuming it's gonna be a semi auto 12ga like the one in classic
What's going to suck though it's only going to have three rounds
I guarantee you our lord and savior Ian McCollum has found one that is both semi-automatic and double-barrel.
Ian is too busy "playing" with his family.
Famas*
His famas is probably more important then his family to him tho tbh
That dude sure likes his french weapons
The map may not have a gun but a dog for the ducks
He is unique. Thats for sure.
Possibly but what are some Finland retrievers
Id love to see a BPS or Ithaca get some love.
A 10 gauge BPS is a really popular goose gun. Least in my state.
The Finnish Spitz possibly this dog
Is that top a super black eagle
Gold light and a BPS.
Browning gold light. One of the only semi auto shotguns browning makes.
Ok
Least in 10 gauge.
I know the a5 and such exists.
But I think its the only semi auto ten gauge they make.
i know this isnt the right chat probably, but does anyone know if mods are banned? i kinda want to download
Yes
rule j or something
like completely or wut
Read the rules
Why do you want to download mods?
They will get you banned from the server, yes.
answers your questions
Pink lions
J) I will not discuss or share anything pertaining to cheats, hacks or Mods. This ruins the game for others. I will also not trade animals in here, as this leads to manipulation of game mechanics which is against our T&Cs.
ah
Pink moose
As you can see he is not in here
Ok they’re still banned
Don't watch him💀
wait you get banned from just discord?
This is the discord server
Yeah they won’t ban you in game
oh lol
Just here
An anticheat option is being investigated. Just so you're aware.
Dub
Dub indeed
That guy 100% just installed em once he heard he only gets banned from discord 😂
Good thing I don’t cheat except on my diets
The biggest problem i have with the hunting experience overall is the hunting methods, its usually one of the 2, if you do it the way the game wants you to:
- Stalking, find the tracs, follow the tracs and shoot the animal. This type of hunting is extremely rare irl, yet its the go to method in cotw
- Luring, pretty much everything can be lured in cotw, even though for a lot of animals that would only work spring time, when hunting isnt allowed usually
I understand that currently the game doesnt have any real hunting dogs, dogs used as pointers, stoppers or chasers and thats why a lot of animals have a made up hunting method, as irl they almost always need a dog. For example pheasant and quail are 99% of time hunted with pointers, the 1% with luck. European hare is practically always hunted with a dog, yet in the game its being hunted by following warning thumps, which they dont do irl.
The animal behaviour is extremely predictable, for example ducks always fly this "placeholder type" of flying, which im sure will get improved at some point but it has been as bad for years now.
The game also doesnt understand the difference in ammunition which i will explain next
This is a map chat not feedback
“WeLl ThIS YoUtUbEr I KnOw DiD It”
And yea he definitely did download them
this is about discussion 10 minutes ago
Rule J also covers the discussion of things, so let's get back on topic please
No one knows for sure
True we can only hope
I looked at ranchos and missipis sneak peak thing and it was 1 week between the trailer and announcement
Yea that’s the big point everyone’s looking at
It seems that with previous schedules full trailer on Tuesday
If it helps any, you can turn the tracks off and hunt that way
Release 1-1.5 weeks after full trailer
thats better yes but youre making the game more difficult on purpose, when the game doesnt need to be more difficult, just made a bit differently
I think that would require them to make a completely different game
the tracks could be actual tracks, not just highlighed marks on the map between every 15 meters
Hm, that could work
I suggest trying Classic.
Them making it more realistic would only lose them players cotw is a casual hunting game for people that just wanna relax imo
i played classic 7 years ago and back then it had the same track system cotw now has, has it changed?
So are we thinking a new shotgun or rifle any fins in here what's your nations go to guns calibers etc
i am
It does have a track system, but they're harder to find than COTW's. The animals are also far less predictable.
.22 LR, .223, 308 cover 80% of finnish rifles
Classic is more realistic than CoTW
last time i checked Classic was more expensive to play than real hunting, but again, 7 years ago
Better question,for the people that duck/upland/goose hunt irl
Which would you rather have?
12 or 10 gauge?
Semi auto or pump?[10 gauge]
Why?
It's free to play now
Classic is free to play
I mean you're not wrong it still is
it has always been "free to play"
12 semi is what most people irl waterfowl hunt with
i dont know, but mayby a new class of animals
still has a premium currency, but everything can be acquired with effort.
If you want anything besides the basic stuff
12 and semi
you jsut cant hunt unless you pay
You can but you have to use the stuff that you start the game with
That's just GOs
Or put hours and hours and hours and hours into it to try to get enough money to buy something
It's free to play now
What would you want it modeled after? Rem 1100,benelli m2 field,etc?
might give it a go then
I use a baretta 1301 💀
I forgot they make a field version of that lmao
Its my dads old SWAT gun
oh boy feedback has 1h slowmode
Yeah that's not a thing anymore
I use it for every animal
puhukaa pliis suomea
From duck-bear
ty for info
ei oo suomi chat tämä
You've probably got a LEO model then. I used to have one before I got rid of it.
just about the new map, not finnish language chat
No choke tube and its got a pistol grip stock right?
Does our so called “professional” hunter not take care of his weapons
Wait no ive got the field one hes got the swat one i forgot
nimen omaan on
nope
Yes his has a pistolgrip
ei ole
Yeah. Those are fun.
Mine has a choketube
finland-chat
We hate the pistolgrip
I'm gonna buy a supernova and dress it out for tactical stuff and hunting lmao
dude its about the map finland
Get a mesa tactical stock. The pistol grip is better.
Pistol grip doesnt work for what i use mine for
I meant for the LEO one.
When im army crawling 300 yards thru straight briars for bear
Gets caught on to much
Just a thought I was having with 19 species on the map it's more likely a reduction of the number of animals per species. Rather than a increased number on the map, unless they have reworked “home ranges” to allows more animals somehow
Most likely each species have their areas and are not spread across the map
Quite easy with birds which prefer certain areas like coasts, thick forests, lake / river biomes etc
Well most of those are gonna be small game like ducks so Im sure they have less impact on performance
if it was a map with 19 big game animals then people might have problems running it lmao
To bad. Make it 19 big game
19 big game animals is something nobody could run
unless there was maybe 30-50 of each species on the map
Slugs or buckshot?
Slugs
I dont use buckshot for anything
Except home invaders
but great ones aren't class 10
nothing in the game is "class 10"
Buckshot is only good for deer drives,foxes/coyotes and people.
Typo prob then
yeah more likely
GO are class 10.
no it's not...
Potato potato 10 10
I'm not here to troll 👍
why not
I try not to shoot foxes unlessni want a hat
Also i never see em
#4 buck is the ticket.
I wont shoot a animal unless it's causing problems or im hunting it
Like the beaver that lives in my backyard dont hurt nothin
I only shoot foxes if they're around while I'm hunting. I've killed two in my entire life.
Ive never even seen one except at the zoo
One while trapping,one with a 22 in my backyard because the fucker killed my cat.
Oh yea he wouldve gotten worse
Now coyotes on the other hand......
Than a .22
I do hope with this map and the hopefully new shotgun they make buck and slugs better.
can you please talk in general
Isn't this general
My bad.
Ja tere
this is not the right place for this discussion
No missä sit
U dont look like a mod
Nii just rauski
Also acting like this chat doesn't go off the deep end sometimes is ignorant.
ei saa sannoo neuvoja jos ei oo modi
@midnight moon kuinka paljon oot pelannu btw?
iha vaa randomisti kysyn siis
This chat is more of a general chat than #🦌︴general lmao
Mhm
ui juma se on tonttu
We do not speak Finnish my good sir
Sama
Nein
ketä?
😼👍
people talk here stuff that related to the finland map, not som unrelated bs
There's no new clues.
Were just throwing shit around and guessing about the next few.
no shit there is nothing new, but people still talk about what is coming to the new map
The talk about shotguns and their effectiveness has to do with the new map anyway.
Hoping we get some kind of SA shotgun from this map
Isnt it a rule to speak english only here???
It’s nearly guaranteed we’re getting a new shotgun
I want a semi auto or a double barrel 10 gauge
Server rule?
It’s a matter of what shotgun it is
Its Finland chat?
That would be nice
I mean he has a point
ärsyttää vaa sua ku et ossaa ite suomee
it is related to finland map, not the country or language itself
its about the new map lol
Oo sie rauski hiljaa ku sie ignooraat mun kysymykset ja oot ilkee
No, English please.
Ah damn
Let us have our fun mods ☹️
shut up before i report you to a mod and get you muted from this chat
All but one people are having fun in here
Damn I thought he said "No English, please"
Löbu suu kiinni or speak english
🤨
👍
Do you guys think the other species are going to be new?
“Speak any language but English”
would be nice
If we get another rifle I’m going to scream
I wonder hows the story
We already have enough of those
Maybe we gotta hunt Kapi foxes
(Idk the english word for it)
mange
Mange foxes
Wasn't there a story mission where we had to hunt a sick animal?
I believe so
So maybe we could get a mission like that for foxes
Rifle+shotgun could be a possibility.
Radioactive boar in hirschfelden
Well no confirmation but I mean... It's a waterfowl map
I only played the tundra to 100% loved that map
Though we have never seen two guns on one map.
A shotgun would be a given
But we've also never seen 19 species on one map.
I wonder if there will be snow weather too
I mean, who knows
Weren’t reindeer confirmed?
going to be mostly birds
Highly unlikely but we could get a new shotgun,pistol and rifle.
Or bow etc.
I dont know but I hope so
But If reindeers are actually going to get added it could bring up a problem
heard they want to respect the culture
So hunting reindeers Is a No go
Multiple upland birds on one map. I'm not gonna complain.
I need another map for me to grind reindeer on
So they might just make them caribous
Is the waterfowl fix coming along the new map release?
Medved ain’t cuttin it
Cool
Lmao.
Maybe he deleted it himself
I doubt it.
Nah there’s several messages being deleted
Ah.
The real question is. Collectibles. Like shed's ob Layton
Hmm
Atleast one has to be a old can
I deleted it myself lol sorry I’m new
Food can or drink can
the map is confirmed to be in south Finland right?
It’s unconfirmed where in Finland it is afaik
I just say south because of the balancing stone
and that is in ruokolahti
pls
can you see the northern lights in south finland?
I think so
What if it’s not and they are looking into adding bigger animals like elephants and maybe hippos
i doubt elephants will ever be a thing but hippos maybe
Why they are legal to be hunted
Endangered
No they aren’t
It’s been called a PR nightmare/suicide/hell storm several times in the discord
Bad PR
I mean if they added hippos they would have to add more classes
Dang, I really want a good hunting game that allows the big 5 or dangerous 7 to be hunted
i mean those things are literal tanks
I always see “we want elephants” but it cant be in the game I feel due to it's current set up. Here is why I feel running around a map blasting elephants isn't going to be fun as they will be easily spotted being so big etc. So they would have to implement a system where you get a tag for a rogue dangerous male or something and that's the one you can shoot, otherwise it turns into an arcade shoot em up
Nah just make them have one of the lowest spawn rates and low population on the maps. Also make it live in high brush that’s hard to get through
Elephants were stated as "not happening anytime soon" by Jaxy in a stream.
Could set up a tag system where you can buy a tag .... which would be very expensive
Anyhow an Africa map could have lots of interesting species outside the big 5 there are lots antelope, birds, predators etc
If they added elephants they would be a nightmare to hunt
Herd animal probably + high gun class
Anyway back to discussing the new map
Like a 100,000 kinda like the 470
Indeed
I wonder if there will be a mine in the new map
Because Finland has the biggest gold mine in Europe
The rifle would be the 700 nitro that costs like 300,000
Mine 16 tons while you take a break from hunting
But wouldn't we just see then on youtube check out my elephant hunting grind and guide, a trophy like an elephant should be once on a life time like a great one. I respect ews views on it etc, if people want elephants so be it maybe ultimate hunting will be decent
thehunter players grinding elephants while they drink for 4 hours straight like every other animal
And you wouldnt want to waste your tag on just any elephant. You would wait to get the trophy you wanted
Anyone know of any issues in Finland the mission could be around etc?
Mange foxes perhaps
Or Raccoon dogs
Or reindeer/caribou
I'm assuming diseases foxes
Red deer are protected and reindeer are uhm.. is sacred the right term?
Could be a reindeer mission to find someone's herd because they lost the GPS tracker on them
Reindeer are owned
Gotcha
Everyone has their own mark
Like a brand?
Can you imagine the stress ... you buy the tag and the gun and then you wait looking at 100 or 1000's of elephants until you find the one. And if you bugger the shot then you may go from Diamond to Gold
That's very interesting
in a way to mark them
One thing I must say the music and voice acting on the recent maps is great as well as the missions
So they might be one of the missions to find a lost reindeer
The only vital is brain
I wish they would bring side missions and map clothing back
Please add a character with this shirt
Absolutely hilarious
We had two when I was real little, they were gorgeous and I loved them.
I have a matched shed from the female, they’re just so dainty looking
They mark them like that here in Sweden as well :)
Did you guys take care of them until adult hood?
They are kinda hard to tend to when they are babies
I think they have different rules to who can own them
I think only Sami can own them in sweden/norway
OH THAT REMINDS ME
Yeah I think so
We kept them from young through til their natural deaths
Maybe a mission involding Sami
We tried to take care of some
but they died to disease
I have a reindeer antler, though I have no idea why since I live in the very very south
Since we have Brown bear already, we might neither get Lynx nor Reindeer cause in that case Medved DLC will lose its value
But we did have a adult pulling reindeer.
Musk deer 👀
I dont know about lynx
Eh ... okay maybe one, either Reindeer or Lynx, but not both
I hope they will add capercaillie to medved
That’s unfortunate. I’m sorry to hear they didn’t make it; and nice! I wish our male would have pulled - his career was posing with children for photographs at “Santa events”
And sometimes the female would go as well
Dang, A cozy job for a reindeer
Just being able to hunt in africa and see elephant herds walking around .... that would be amazing
They had a whole ass shade shed; an insulated winter shed, easy “jobs”
Reindeers are cute but almost the whole predators of Finland can hunt them
Somehow
And really, for being animals with headgear - they were just so sweet. Even me as a ten year old could just go in and vibe with them as long as I brought a donation of sweet grain haha
Yes, not both
There used to be game on ps3 called Africa or something like that it was soely a photography game, never played out but sen footage
They sure love feeding times tho
Always remember their snuffly, fuzzy lips
But I hate their Child season
It's on my bucket list to pet a reindeer cause they look so damn soft
Calling for mama
Indeed
Perhaps reindeer missions in the new map?
They could have added the reindeer round up place
Do you think they will ever add side missions back?
The ones where you had to take pictures of animals?
A little bit of everything
I hope map clothing will be added again
Map clothing?
Uh
I was thinking like waders and maybe a camo jacket for duck and goose hunting
A hahaha
Or Nokia boots
I need it
I really wanted one for Mexico, Silver Ridge, Yukon, Cuatro, NZ and Mississippi
