[uneven bloom]

We don't even know if we'll be getting a GO this update

[sterile coyote]

Pain

[uneven bloom]

I'd be really, really surprised if we did tbh. This update is going to be massive enough without one

[sterile coyote]

They should make it bigger by adding one😂

[uneven bloom]

next update though, that might be another story

[sterile coyote]

I mean this up date would be amazing but if its the next then i wont complain

[lunar crag]

@glacial flame why are you sound so bri'ish

I check your tooyube channel

[glacial flame]

Would be because I’m British lol

[lunar crag]

cool

[atomic dawn]

KoltLeo#6118 has been warned

Reason: Posted an invite

[lunar crag]

oops

accident

[glacial flame]

Thank you!

[lunar crag]

The discord invite was fully an accident

[lunar crag]

Ill scrubscibe

[lunar crag]

I tried to copy everything on mels video as a joke but I didn't notice the discord invite

[neon mason]

😭😂

[cursive ivy]

Just curious, who thinks the new GO will be a moose or just something else?

[elder saffron]

Elk has veen voted the most wanted,but moose is 2nd

[dusk sail]

Can we be honest? While the talk of a semi auto 12 is cool,it having only three rounds will make it useless compared to the already in game 12 gauge with 6 rounds.

[glacial flame]

That’s kinda hilarious lol- thank you!

[glacial flame]

True- I guess we would have to see what it’s like

I’m kinda hoping for something a lil more out there- like the 17hmr which is popular for shooting birds from the sky when out of shotgun range in classic

[dusk sail]

Yeah. But the big issue we have is the 22H existing...

[glacial flame]

True, tho in classic the 17hmr is ridiculously strong

But yeah it could make the 22h useless

[vapid garden]

I dunno being able to fire rounds faster makes it easier to get doubles and triples

at least for me with the semi auto 20ga

[dusk sail]

I hunt IRL with one. Plenty enough to kill foxes,raccoons,squirrels,rabbits.

Hell I've killed a fox,a raccoon and a load of squirrels with it.

[dusk sail]

Yes and no? I agree yet I don't. Its a weird limbo for me.

The fact you don't have to reload and can theoretically put more shots on more birds is the biggest issue.

[vapid garden]

I think they should allow it for class 3 animals if they were to add a .17 hmr

cuz the .22h is actually really good for bobcats but they're class 3 so you can't really use it on them

[dusk sail]

Wouldn't it be the first 1-3 at that point?

[glacial flame]

That’s a good point honestly

[vapid garden]

Ye

and the only other class 3 animals are roe deer, lynx, and springbok I think?

maybe musk deer

[glacial flame]

Axis are 3 aren’t they?

[vapid garden]

Oh ye

Oh nvm I just looked, there's more than I thought LOL

[stiff leaf]

muskies are class dos

not tres

[vapid garden]

Kinda weird that axis are class 3 and sika are class 4 even though they have similar weights

[peak cedar]

it would be overlooked with the amount of content coming yeah

too many things in one update seems like a good thing, but to an extent it's not

[wild knot]

Any news on the release date of Finland

[acoustic elbow]

No

[wild knot]

alright thanks

[quaint lintel]

We might get the trailer on Tuesday, and hopefully the release date at the end of it 🤞🏻

[wild knot]

Thanks hopefully we do

[midnight moon]

"release date of Finland" sounds so wrong

Don't be mad, I know what do you mean

[languid wedge]

Ay yes when is the release date of FINLAND mighty noble ones?

Lol it sounds funny tho

[candid cliff]

Nah fix the 12ga o/u and we are good

[candid cliff]

December 6, 1917 is when Finland will come out lol

[languid wedge]

Thank you noble one thank you I will mark my calendar

[candid cliff]

As long as u have a 1810 calendar, u can set the date

[dusk sail]

It won't be useful for geese in my opinion. But rabbits,quail,pheasants and the new ones were getting with Finland it would be awesome.

[candid cliff]

I know, also 12ga semi with almost the same camo, and engravings as the 20ga and we will be good. Like imagine to get the engraved 12ga u have to kill every bird species on the map.

Like they could look like this possibly

[dusk sail]

I'd use it then. Thats for sure.

Engraved guns look so good.

[candid cliff]

I like mission guns so I would love to unlock the engraved version by having to kill all the bird species on the map

[candid cliff]

I would like it if they made it like an A5

[dusk sail]

A A5 in 12 gauge would be awesome and welcome addition

So long as it holds 4+ rounds.

[rigid bloom]

I think we should get a weapon that is fun

Like the Caversham

It only holds 2 shots, but it's a shit load of fun

[midnight moon]

I am hoping for a 16ga DB

Anyways, I cant wait for this Map to release and for waterfowl to be fixed

[peak cedar]

We already have one

[midnight moon]

The drilings?

I mean, I am hoping for non drilings 16ga db

[white bison]

Any release date speculation?

[frail coral]

I dont know day but prob next month they normally release a map in june and december

[jade thicket]

wonder what they will show tomorrow

[candid cliff]

Same

[red swift]

Ron im guessing they will play the finland map

[rancid pecan]

I see lots of people who cant wait for an africa 2 map because they want elephants
But deep in our hands we all know what we really want
The 700 Nitro Express

700 NE on the right compared to different types of bullets, including a 12gauge shell and a 30-06 round

[red swift]

aftrica map likely be next at Christmas to compete with Ultimate hunting

[rancid pecan]

Next to the 700 is the 500 Nitro, the weapon we got with vurhonga

[jade thicket]

been saying for a while some new big game rifles would be cool

africa 2.0 maybe to go with them at christmas

although personally id love texas over africa

[hidden quest]

we got the .470NE with Vurhonga

[jade thicket]

i think we may see a new map trailer maybe tomorrow or friday zeek

[rancid pecan]

Oops, my bad

Well the 470 is only slightly smaller than the 500, so it still gives a decent sense of scale

[hidden quest]

I think they’ll play on one of the maps that are getting reworked so we get a small sneak peek at that, and then maybe some information about the new map and update, maybe even revealing a few of the species on Revontuli Coast

[jade thicket]

i do think we will see something new or special tomorrow roll on tomorrows stream 😁

[hidden quest]

🤞

[red swift]

maybe show off the moose Great one

but i really dont want to see it till someone shoots one

[split charm]

What if they will reveal a trailer?

or too early

[kindred iron]

Yeah tommorows stream will be great for sure

[hidden quest]

they might, I think they’ll wait a week or two, but they have been very unpredictable lately, so I won’t rule out anything 😄

[split charm]

Okay!'

\

This looks cool

[dreamy goblet]

Yea.

[warm basin]

Wait so what's the stream time now in america?

[split charm]

What time zone?

[warm basin]

Central US

[split charm]

Whats the time for you rn

[warm basin]

8:22

[split charm]

11 am i think

for you

Nvm

9 am

@warm basin

[warm basin]

Oh ight thanks

[split charm]

basically stream starts in 36 min

[split charm]

No problem!

[white bison]

stream is tomorrow tho

[modern axle]

is the new upcoming finland map going to have a 338 lapua magnum

[bleak panther]

I honestly hope not

[vapid estuary]

I hope tomorrow they would play on the map that has some waterflow to show us how they look now and end the stream with trailer

[bleak panther]

We can only hope

But I really hope they make waterfowl hunting the center point of the map, it would be a very unique concept and I think the game as a whole would benefit from the diversity that is different types of hunting

[modern axle]

honestly i dont know

but my expectations are pretty high bc i am finnish

[split charm]

Oh yeah

[split charm]

I hope we will get beavers

[white bison]

https://riista.fi/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Suomi_-Riistamaana_GBR.indd_-1.pdf

this also has a big table of animals in it

way more than 19 tho

[marble herald]

I just want to know why the classes go up to 10 on the new wheel thing, it shows 1-10 and not 1-9 for the suggested ammo types on the ammo spot

[lusty orbit]

what wheel?

[marble herald]

It was in the videos. They have a weapon/item select wheel that is mostly for console but available for everyone with the update

it shows that you're using x ammo type and then below that is shows the suggested classes but it goes to 10 o.O

[lusty orbit]

ah thats what you meant

[wind ridge]

I think it will be corrected when it was released

[marble herald]

Or it is correct now

lol

[lusty orbit]

i think its most likely a mistake

[stoic tiger]

Whales, obviously. Orcas. But you can only shoot them while they're jumping out of the water, or the corpse will vanish

[white bison]

maybe we'll get a new gun for like 8-10

doubt it hto

[wind ridge]

or maybe there are class fixes instead of adding class 0

[marble herald]

Possibly but someone had to type out 1-10 instead of 1-10 or did an array of 1-9. Seems like a really weird mistake to me and one that would have been easy to fix. I know it's not out yet but...

[lusty orbit]

they do tend to lay the groundwork for something that they'll be adding in the future

but i don't think they'd do it this soon

[wind ridge]

Maybe
Class 1 - 16ga, 20ga , .410
Class 2 - 12ga, 10ga

[marble herald]

They did tell us that they couldn't tell us everything and they did seem to try and avoid that whole gun section but we're pretty watchful so.... they couldn't

[lusty orbit]

if they were to add a class 10 it can only mean they'll add something like elephants or rhinos

[marble herald]

That's what I'm hoping for 😄

[lusty orbit]

which is why i think its a mistake

[kindred iron]

Class 10 is any Great One

[marble herald]

Great one is trophy level 10 not class 10

[lusty orbit]

that doesn't make sense

[wind ridge]

no weapons for classes 10 animals

[kindred iron]

They said class 10 is a great one. Level 9 legendary Level 10 Fabled great one

[marble herald]

If I had to use a 470 nitro express on a great one bunny...

[lusty orbit]

they corrected themselves later

[kindred iron]

Level 10 not class 10 yer. There is no class 10

[lusty orbit]

and said they meant that any great one is lvl 10 not class 10

[wind ridge]

possibly it is a restructuring of the classes, those animals that were class 9 will now be class 10

[marble herald]

I sure hope not, that's going to ruin some of the guns I've purchased most likely

[kindred iron]

Coupd be Rexio maybe they will change the scorring system again

[lusty orbit]

i hope they eventually get rid of the class system

and adopt the system they have in Classic

[kindred iron]

It annoys me that a diamond lynx is worth a score of around 20 but a trivial red deer do is 300. Dosent make sense to me.

[marble herald]

I would love it if all animals were the same scoring system. I am not going to write it downa nd I can't remember what a a diamond blacktail is vs a white tail

or whatever

[kindred iron]

Basically all my rarest diamonds are too low a score to see on the harvest screen

[vapid garden]

because lynx score is based on the skull and red deer score is based on the dimensions of the antlers

lynx don't have a 150in x 150in skull

[kindred iron]

Yeah that is true but the trivial females with no antlers still get a far higher score than a species which is far harder and rarer

I think any diamond should be a higher score than any trivial.

[warm basin]

Old scoring system >

[vapid garden]

they are on the same scoring system, truracs, they just have different antler dimensions because they're different species

[kindred iron]

Yes Vivid

[marble herald]

Not what I meant. If I see a diamond blacktail it's worth like 180 points or whatever but a diamond whitetail is like 255(minimum)

[warm basin]

That makes sense

[wind ridge]

I hope it's a change in classes since shooting a quail with a 10ga doesn't seem very ethical xD

[vapid garden]

the session score?

I'm pretty sure session score is just based on the level of the animal

and WT max out at level 3

[haughty aurora]

When’s the release date

[jade thicket]

we dont know yet but maybe they may say something in tomorrows live stream

[haughty aurora]

K

[peak cedar]

99% chance it’s a UI bug

Because if that were the case a lot of species would need to be readjusted for that to make sense. Lion being class 5-6 max being one

Grizzly being class 8-9

[quaint lintel]

I'm almost 100% convinced that the trailer is tomorrow, that's why the stream is early so they can upload it early on YouTube!

[warm basin]

Either that or it gonna be a longer stream to show off the duck rework

[candid cliff]

Possibly both

[lunar crag]

Can they stop having streams on weekdays

weekends please

[hard wind]

They don't want to work on the weekends either. lol

[candid cliff]

Why that’s probably when they work so they would do their work on work days

[lunar crag]

well im in school on weekdays

[lost socket]

I’m at work. I watch it when I can.

[uneven bloom]

They don't work on weekends.

[lost socket]

Yep. I don’t either. I hope they relax as much as I do.

[hard wind]

That's what VODs are for

[lost socket]

Yep

I’m so pumped about tomorrows stream.

[peak cedar]

watch it be the trailer and release date being May 31st I'd laugh

almost every time they do it's 2 weeks after the trailer

they announced the map way too early to have a "late june release" idk how people still think that it's coming over a month away 😂

[mighty dove]

People like being hopeful. It’s good that we want it early, it means they did something right with just the small teaser they released

[quaint lintel]

I think this time the map will come out 3 weeks after the trailer, not 2, because it's a big update, the waterfowl and all, so that's why I think early June release.

[graceful saffron]

Wonder if tomorrow they will be playing the new map and showing us stuff 👀

I hope

[peak cedar]

could be 3, but it's very rare it's that long

only map that did it that long was Rancho

and it was fairly average because of it

[quaint lintel]

I think they'll play on it next week, tomorrow gonna be only the trailer ... I'm not gonna watch neither stream gameplay or content creators' gameplay, I'm gonna go blind on the new map, spoiled nothing and get mindblown every minute!

[midnight moon]

the map comes out next month right

[peak cedar]

once you announce a trailer for a map you have a limited amount of time to get it out while people are still interested. Rancho isn't what I considered a "fan favorite" like SRP for example

[midnight moon]

i heard that from my friend

[uneven bloom]

Sometime next month is the most likely time window

[graceful saffron]

Right well I hope they tell us all 19 different animals well the ten new ones 😭😂I'm excited for the trailer

[peak cedar]

I hope they tell us 10 max

I want a surprise

[quaint lintel]

I noticed some only play on Rancho lol ... especially some content creators ...

[peak cedar]

for great ones...

mainly

I don't ever see many rancho servers open...even on weekends

[kindred iron]

Last week of June is the traditional release time for a Summer Map.

[quaint lintel]

That's the thing, I'm not gonna know the species when getting the map, I wanna go hunt there not knowing what 19 species I'm gonna come across

[peak cedar]

they also traditional don't reveal a map this early

traditionally*

[lunar crag]

fr

[kindred iron]

Very true. Nothing is set in stone. They said they were doing things differently this year.

[stark storm]

I'm personally thinking early June release

[peak cedar]

think about it for a second...

Revealing a teaser for the map

dropping it 6 weeks later...

that makes no sense

[uneven bloom]

Mid-June is my guess

[lunar crag]

yeah

[peak cedar]

hype is gone at that point...

[quaint lintel]

Btw, the music of this map might be the same lvl with Yukon and SRP ... I mean ... just YouTube search "Scandinavian Folk Music" that's gonna be it on the new map

[uneven bloom]

They need time to showcase all 19 animals

[kindred iron]

Like Lyra said sounds like a good shout to me. Not before then.

[midnight moon]

maamme

[peak cedar]

they could easily do that on social media in between days of not streaming

just saying 🤷‍♂️

[quaint lintel]

Viking music incoming xD

[stark storm]

I imagine after this stream if they do drop a trailer we'll start to see some showcases like they did with MA

[uneven bloom]

and spacing it out is how they tend to build hype to begin with

[midnight moon]

lol

[peak cedar]

over a 5-6 week gap. It has been done before lol

never

[kindred iron]

Thats it keep thy hype going longer get the inteterest. Its a good idea

[peak cedar]

This next map already has a lot of "shoes to fill" with it being a "SRP rival" only time will tell 😛

[midnight moon]

true

[stark storm]

I do wonder how true that statement will hold up

[lunar crag]

They better add simo hayha or something

[graceful saffron]

I mean considering all the waterfowl do y'all see a new dog coming as well 🤔

[peak cedar]

no

Dogs will always be a DLC on their own

[midnight moon]

what the-

lol

[kindred iron]

Ueah i think it will very different to the super easy SRP though. Finland will be more popular with people that like the more challenging maps i think.

[midnight moon]

like me

[kindred iron]

Yes Rolli we will love it

[midnight moon]

i like a little more challenging maps

[peak cedar]

depends on how easy the waterfowl is

[midnight moon]

😄

[lunar crag]

do you even know who that is

[peak cedar]

most of the big game is repeats iirc

[midnight moon]

finnish sniper

[peak cedar]

moose, brown bear, whitetail...

[lunar crag]

yes

with most kills in the world

[midnight moon]

i know

[tame vale]

how many birds do you think they will add?

[midnight moon]

A lot

[kindred iron]

We dont know yet what the new waterfowl hunting will be like. Dont think it will be easier thats for sure

[peak cedar]

9-10

[split agate]

They could just hire Värttinä, or better yet, Loituma to sing the classic Ievan Polkka

[stark rose]

What needs correction? What's the bug?

[tough mauve]

does anyone know species will be in finland?

i know it says 19

[midnight moon]

lol

[tame vale]

8 have been confirmed

[midnight moon]

good idea thought

[tough mauve]

8 are known, so the rest will be new hopefully

ive never hunted in finland so jw

[split agate]

I love Finnish folk

[midnight moon]

understood

you have the ä and ö

[vapid garden]

trailer's gonna be like 15 minutes long lmao

[midnight moon]

😁

lol

[stark rose]

They made a mistake, the stream should come sooner! 😂, "Long have I waited" it's time to "Dew it"

[midnight moon]

this

[stark rose]

30min trailer 😂

[tame vale]

i want wood pidgeon added they are common here

[midnight moon]

😁

[rancid pecan]

Great one wolf leaked

[graceful saffron]

I never really grinded ducks I just see random lvl 3s and shoot em and boom a diamond don't even gotta grind 😂😭

[midnight moon]

🤣

why it looks so wrong

oh no

Norway in eurovision

but no more about ti in this channel

[wind ridge]

Class 10 in wheel

[blissful moat]

wait a minute something aint right

[midnight moon]

wut moment

[stark rose]

I hope this update they get more multi mounts for Elk or just in general

[stark rose]

Elephant confirmed 😄 👍

[fierce juniper]

what time does the live stream start tomorrow

?

[stark rose]

?

[kindred iron]

This time tommorow 15 minutes ago it should start

[stark rose]

What dose 1600 crest mean?

[peak cedar]

4:00pm their time

[kindred iron]

Ol thanks an hour earlier then

[midnight moon]

light mode

[quaint lintel]

Nice! Don't have to skip another gym appointment at 9 lol

[graceful saffron]

Is the zarza 15 good at all?

[midnight moon]

b a l d

[candid cliff]

I think it would be pretty easy if like 5 of those are ducks and 2 of those are geese and grouse and capercaillie will be in the same area

[midnight moon]

i havent bought the pack, i dont know

[tame vale]

what ducks do you want to see added?

[midnight moon]

mallard

[candid cliff]

Pintail, King Eider, Common Pochard, Northern Shoveler and that would be about it for Finland. However I do want wood ducks on Acres

[split arch]

I really want the Northern Shoveler as well

[calm halo]

which one? 223 or 308?

[split arch]

loved pintail in classic too

[midnight moon]

both guns comes in the same pack

[tame vale]

i want golden eye widgeon and pintail

[calm halo]

sure i ask because not one of them is zarza 15

308 is good. 223 underpowered

[midnight moon]

i havent shooted with any of the guns in the modern rifle pack

[calm halo]

i like them. the 308 is my goto long gun

[midnight moon]

okay

[tame vale]

Also long tailed duck would be cool

[midnight moon]

Ima grind geese now so that I have enough for decoys and tents for every new waterfowl and every waterfowl added on old maps

[lusty orbit]

Same, wood duck and mandarin duck are the two duck species i want added

[glacial flame]

So who’s ready for tomorrow’s stream? 👀

[rancid pecan]

Too tired with irl to be excited for anything lollllll

[kindred iron]

Absolutely and looking forward to your analysis of it on your whotube channel.

[jade thicket]

think we going to have a lot of people watching 😁

[glacial flame]

I wonder if we will see a full trailer 👀👀 thank youuuuu!

[glacial flame]

For real! The hype is big!!!

[kindred iron]

Yes i hope each week we get more and more viewing numbers. I think next week a full trailer i dont know though.

The more viewers they get = the more likely they will do something huge like a full trailer

[hard wind]

They said they wanted to break viewing records with this stream.

[glacial flame]

This is true

[kindred iron]

More than 3500 i thonk they could do it. Lets spread the good word

[quaint lintel]

We usually get the trailer a week after the teaser ... so yea ... most likely xD

[glacial flame]

My heart might explode from hype if that happens lol

[kindred iron]

They said they are doing things differently this year

[quaint lintel]

It might be one of the longest reserve trailers (maybe 3 minutes) since they got 19 species to show lol

[glacial flame]

Very true, very true

[kindred iron]

Yes it will be an amazing trailer certainly. No doubt. Some of their trailers look better than hollywood movie trailers.

[quaint lintel]

What do you mean DiFfeReNtLy?

[kindred iron]

They said in their stream that the way they are doing the clue season and release will be different from what they have done before. So we can't say they usually do this so they will do that.

[quaint lintel]

Oh the clues, yea I heard that too, we didn't get in game clues this time ... and the release is most likely gonna be early June

[peak cedar]

waterfowl rework better be good all I gotta say

75% of the map depends on it

[midnight moon]

I’m curious what people are thinking? Moose, goose/duck, or brown bear GO? (There is no moose emote lol)

[glacial flame]

All of the above plz 👀 lol in my dreams - but also my nightmares because I wouldn’t know what to go for first lol!

I can see it being brown bear y’know

Because think about it

We had whitetail from Layton (map 1)

Red deer from hirsch (map 2)

Soooo

Medved was the third map in game

And exclusively has/had brown bear

That’s my train of thought

[midnight moon]

I am thinking brown bear too mel, but if they make a brown bear GO it means they’d have to make medved base game/free.

[glacial flame]

I guess that’s also true - but what about when they do GOs in future for say lion or idk Sika for example?

[midnight moon]

I think brown bear is the best option for now. It’s so tied into Finland. It’s the first GO predator. And it gives medved major love.

[glacial flame]

Maybe it doesn’t have to stay as free maps?

Because they can be found in multi now

[midnight moon]

It’s possible they start putting it behind paywalls, but I don’t know if they would yet. But a free medved would be HUGE.

[glacial flame]

So technically everyone can access all maps for free

[glacial flame]

True

[uneven bloom]

I still think them making GO's able to be found in multi ended up being a big mistake but that's a convo for another time

[glacial flame]

I kinda agree in a way

It adds to cool things to find

[midnight moon]

For as much as people are saying medved needs love - GO brown bear, free, complete rework and maybe added species if people are right. It would be an instant awesome map.

[glacial flame]

But also detracts from the work people put into getting them

So it’s difficult to decide lol

[glacial flame]

Medved is on the list for a pop reset and redistribution too

[midnight moon]

Yup

[glacial flame]

Tho so is every map save SRP

[midnight moon]

It’ll be interesting tomorrow. Bear was on the go survey so they’ve been thinking about it.

But just the lore of brown bear in Finland. Man. It would be the perfect time.

[glacial flame]

It would

[tawdry nebula]

I don't think I will update the game until I check all my maps

if there is a diamond or something

[quaint lintel]

They said it's better then in Classic 👀

[peak cedar]

a game around 13 years old does not say much. Considering the engine is much better in handling complex things it should be

[kindred iron]

Some say due to EWs commitment to be fair and impartial that a great one would only be from the 2 original game maps and not from paid dlc. However i kind of agree with Mel because i remember the new year messagage saying "We can Bearly contain our excitement"

[uneven bloom]

we'd never get an RME GO in that case

[peak cedar]

I think you guys are looking to far into it tbh

[uneven bloom]

which is the type of elk people want a GO of the most

[peak cedar]

that post was at the start of the new year iirc. They do that every year lmao

it more so "we have a bunch of DLC, we can't wait to announce them"

[kindred iron]

Plus a great one has not be properly confirmed. Jaxy n TK may have been trying to make you think that way. They may be just teasing. Its not confirmed.

[quaint lintel]

Isn't it the same engine? In some parts Classic represents the engine better, we got flowing rivers and waterfalls in Classic and neither of it in COTW

[peak cedar]

yes and no, every engine has it's pros and cons

idk if they are the same engine or not

probably not considering the differences and limitations

[kindred iron]

Unless older dlc is eventually included in the base game or free for all players i cant see a GO unique to one dlc map no.

[peak cedar]

via yt polls it's Roosevelt though

[kindred iron]

Moose is an Elk

[tiny quiver]

There is Finnish elk so it could be an elk

Greatone elk

[lunar crag]

There is no such thing as finnish elk

[uneven bloom]

It didn't specify which elk.

[lunar crag]

There is moose though.

[lunar crag]

that's bs

[peak cedar]

I thought it specifically said Roosevelt at the end when "elk" was an earlier option, no? 🤔

[tiny quiver]

There are elk in Finland tho

[uneven bloom]

Nope, it was just "elk"

[peak cedar]

interesting

I'd be scared to see a RME GO tbh

[kindred iron]

If there is a GO most people think a Moose which is in the vanilla maps.

[peak cedar]

the antlers are massive already and we saw what they did with red deer 😂

[uneven bloom]

Moose are called elk in Europe.

[midnight moon]

Definitely probable , but everything in that pic has been announced thus far, so it’s curious. From the lighting effect to the vegetation, to 2 hunters .

[uneven bloom]

the first link I got when searching "are there elk in finland" brought me to a page that did as such.

[midnight moon]

It’s not a long shot the bear has significance

[peak cedar]

I don't see it being a GO predator yet considering they have no truscore of any kind

[kindred iron]

Think Fimland have imported some American species.

[peak cedar]

so every GO would be exactly the same in a way

[uneven bloom]

Whitetail, yeah.

[midnight moon]

Well the current great ones are similar. I think WT only have 6 or 7 racks.

[uneven bloom]

Not elk

[midnight moon]

The GO wt anyway.

[peak cedar]

they all have differences, you just have to look closer 😛

the tines are always different

[uneven bloom]

...whitetail and fallow in the same map would be interesting

[kindred iron]

Yes so Whitetail GO will already be there. Very unlikely they will pop a new one in there. One GO per map.

[peak cedar]

it's not unlikely at all

the game is expanding, eventually it will have to be done

[uneven bloom]

the "one GO per map" would contradict with the statement that the devs are intending for every animal to eventually get a GO

[peak cedar]

^

[midnight moon]

I mean this eliminates moose too.

[kindred iron]

Would love a Fallow GO but wirh the diamonds they all have the same antler so a bit booring

[peak cedar]

they aren't all the same

a min diamond to a 270 look quite different

there's not much you can do with fallow antlers besides getting into nontypical territory

[split agate]

This is because in North American English what are called "moose" are called "elk" in Europe, including (at least historically) British English. "Moose" is from native American languages. French is more sensible and calls North American elk "wapiti" (also from Native American languages). So, yes, technically Finland has elk, but Americans and Canadians call them "moose" 🙂

[potent bane]

Can red deer GO's have this rack but with leaves or is it impossible?

[kindred iron]

Not entirely because the 18 species from the first 2 maps go to all the other maps 2 there 2 over there n so on. Id say Moose Black Bear and Roosevelt Elk and then Falliw would most likely be the next GOs

[peak cedar]

It's gonna be moose if anything let's be honest

the community asks for it nonstop

[split agate]

In terms of reserve/map coverage, a GO moose would be best because there would instantly be on 4 maps

[uneven bloom]

Aware of that. The conversation my statement was part of was referring to the fact that there are no wapiti in Finland.

[peak cedar]

it's literally turkey hype 3.0

it will happen...

[kindred iron]

Hopefully i am wrong but do you think a GO would be put exclusively behind a pay wall? This is EW not scummy EA or Activision Blizzard

[peak cedar]

eventually they will

[uneven bloom]

No one can be as scummy as Blizzard. NO ONE.

[peak cedar]

most species are planned to have GOs

[kindred iron]

Agreed

[midnight moon]

I have no doubt moose will be GO eventually but in terms of this clues season there is not 1 basis of evidence pointing to moose. Makes me suspicious at this point.

[kindred iron]

Lol absolutely right there

[peak cedar]

I don't even see us getting a GO this update

too much in it

I prefer more time go into the idea then we slap some vines on the antlers and push it out.

[split agate]

Why not? Other than developing a model, everything else exists now (spawn rate, etc.)

[midnight moon]

Moose won the majority of the survey, but so did Africa 2.0. Nordic map was like 3rd place. Their roadmap is already set before they put those surveys out.

[peak cedar]

idk how big the animal modeling department is now, but it was pretty known back in the day it was maybe a few people at that

[midnight moon]

I don’t know that for sure, but I’m starting to suspect they are market research more than roadmap planning.

[kindred iron]

Imagine if Activisio/Blizzard made this game, they drop crates and you can pay 59.99 dollars to open one to find a great one part. Collect 100 parts and a great one spawns on the map.

[peak cedar]

ew

[midnight moon]

I dunno. I hope any of these guesses are right tbh so people have fun things to grind. Moose never made sense to me from the start. Back when we thought this was a waterfowl map it was strange to me that they were going to make you grind moose instead of waterfowl after all that work so I thought ducks. But that’s also because they hinted a GO with a duck pic. Now after they’ve said this is not a waterfowl map I’m def camp brown bear just for the lore and after finding that New Years pic…I dunno. Hard to ignore.

[uneven bloom]

...when did they say this wasn't a waterfowl map?

I know they said that about Acres

[midnight moon]

On last weeks stream. Tk said it was not a waterfowl map.

[uneven bloom]

huh

I doubt we'll get more than the mallard and new goose for waterfowl then

[jade thicket]

think it was said its just not a waterfowl map

[midnight moon]

^^^ yea this

[kindred iron]

Says where sky meets water. 8 animals 11 birds some upland some waterfowl some game. I think but more of a waterfowl map than the other maps

[midnight moon]

I think he was putting to bed that this isn’t a map just for the rework

[jade thicket]

im sure we will see more tomorrow

get the timer in 👀

[peak cedar]

new map will def have a focus on waterfowl

it would be lame as hell to see 1-2 duck species and 1 goose

[kindred iron]

Finland has way more lakes than most countries.

[jade thicket]

yeah home of a 1000 lakes

rally nut here

😁

[kindred iron]

Yes its bound to fill up those lakes

[lunar crag]

so we're getting 2 american species there

[kindred iron]

Nice one Ron

[lunar crag]

mallards and whitetailed deer

[peak cedar]

moose

[kindred iron]

No sure if Mallard are just american think they are in most placss. Whitetail yes

[uneven bloom]

Mallards are a global species

[lunar crag]

ohh

[viral moth]

latvia?!?

[midnight moon]

I def think it’ll have a good number of birds and waterfowl but our thoughts off the bat we’re that this map was extremely tied into the rework and that doesn’t seem@the intention.

[viral moth]

i hope we get a new bird multimount with like 10 different species

[languid wedge]

I hope Harleys and teal get one

[peak cedar]

the logo of the reserve is waterfowl

so it's def gotta be the main focus

[languid wedge]

I would love to have my albino and melanistic in a mount together of some kind

[kindred iron]

Agreed

[midnight moon]

Ok - found the clip. It was Jaxy, not TK who said it. https://clips.twitch.tv/ResourcefulCoyBaboon4Head-hQtNUTqHkel5sEZl

This is where they were talking about the map not being exclusive to the rework.

[peak cedar]

he still said "duck will be a big part"

obv the map will not be exclusive ti ducks

to

I did however just pick out the log is 1 goose species and two different duck species

can tell by the wings

[midnight moon]

well of course. i think given the context - he was trying to kill the myth that this was somehow exclusive to the rework or that this was a waterfowl rework map.

[peak cedar]

oh yeah nah it's just a new map with the waterfowl

being part of it

[midnight moon]

yea - this was the statement that made me lose my thought that the GO was a duck or goose. If it was an exclusive waterfowl map...then it made sense, but this made me think twice.

[peak cedar]

as much as I would like that EW knows the community would flip if it wasn't moose

[dusk sail]

The great one will be a roe deer. 🤣

[midnight moon]

i dont know...this is why i think the surveys are something different than we think. I mean there are a lot of people hoping for brown bear now too and that wasnt even on the radar. People really wanted africa or aus as a map - now people are pumped.

[tiny quiver]

I hope there are 3 types of geese on this new map

So we can have giant goose setups

[midnight moon]

obviously those things are still very important...but i am suspicious that the surveys in some way are market research...like...ok are we WAY off with our road map, or are the numbers acceptable enough for us to continue forward.

[dusk sail]

Multi species goose setups would be fun.

[tiny quiver]

Yea

[peak cedar]

predator GO would be one of the worst ideas they would have since the original idea of scoring 2.0

gutshots would still give you the diamond medal

[dusk sail]

Lmao

[peak cedar]

anyone remember when that was a thing on stream lmfao

[midnight moon]

what do you mean?

[bleak panther]

I really hope they fix the duo detection glitch before the new waterfowl map comes out, it's currently impossible to goose hunt with a friend becuaese the geese detect us at like 130 meters no matter what blind we use

[peak cedar]

I'll explain

[bleak panther]

But I have no problem solo

[peak cedar]

Back when they showed scoring 2.0 (the current system)

You could shoot a diamond in the stomach and you would get a diamond from it.

[tiny quiver]

It would be cool because they could be for example a lion but look like scar from lion king stuff like that

[peak cedar]

it's not the GO being the idea

the problem is every bear looks the same skull wise

[dusk sail]

Sit in a bush. Blinds are worthless in this game.

[peak cedar]

that's gonna be a major issue

that's like shooting wt for a wt go

with every rack being exactly the same

[tiny quiver]

Yea but they could maybe be bigger or just look cool

[bleak panther]

But the layout blind works perfectly solo so idk what the problem is

[peak cedar]

you see the point?

[kindred iron]

If i had to geuss id suggest 2 upland birds 6 ducks 4 geese 7 mammals So maily waterfowl hence land of a thousand lakes where sky meets water and the waterfowl logo.

[peak cedar]

like I said unless we got truscore bears, that idea is very bad rn

[dusk sail]

Yeah idk. The layouts only sometimes work.

[tiny quiver]

Yea

[peak cedar]

people would get bored in 2 weeks tops

[dusk sail]

I love the idea of being able to take me and 2 buddys and sticking us in a row of layouts

[tiny quiver]

Tru sizes?

[dusk sail]

But you're better off sitting different bushes.

[midnight moon]

I will say this about brown bear similar to saying this about ducks when i thought they might be the GO. no one even conceived they would do the vine rack for red deer GO. EW is going to make them cool. I have very little worry about their ability to think of how to make a predator GO cool.

[peak cedar]

that's why it's not an option, they need to keep it to deer species or horned

just imagine shooting the same looking animal 1,000-5,000 times to get 1 that looks different

[midnight moon]

what they will look like, who knows. thats for them to figure out. but they did it with red deer.

[kindred iron]

Yes due to the scoring system i really cant see a non antler being a GO

[midnight moon]

im not sure how. all non trurack are scored bronze to diamond now. its just a bigger score.

[mighty dove]

In my opinion, they can do predators only if there is a visual size difference. But that would take some time to do given that all animals have a static size to them. It would take a lot of work, but it would suck if the GOs were only inclusive to antlered and horned animals

[peak cedar]

the engine can't handle that

they already said that with the no trusize to gators

[mighty dove]

Yes

I am aware

Technical limitations

[peak cedar]

the can do skull measurments though

[kindred iron]

Yeah i cant get my little brain around it tbh but a Brown Bear GO suddenly getting a higher score than the elks and larger deer seems unlikely to me

[mighty dove]

Would that be visible outside of the harvest screen though?

[kindred iron]

Thats a good point

[peak cedar]

like truRACS, yes.

truscore is what they need and what I'm talking about

for the idea to work

[kindred iron]

Size difference between a trivial Lynx and a diamond one, guess only CashnipLeaf would notice.

[dusk sail]

Brown bear GO

[mighty dove]

If they do it based on the skulls, they still need to make the skull proportional to the body

[peak cedar]

it would be similar to classic. You notice it very easily.

for the lynx idea

unless it's being spotted 300m away

[kindred iron]

Bit mangy, wouldnt make a good rug out of it

[peak cedar]

yeah that would need to be addressed.

[dusk sail]

Thats the thing. Big dominant male covered in scars with a semi truck for a head.

[kindred iron]

Sure yeah. But although some say size isnt everything, i think it matters and currently our animals stay the same size, they would have to redign them from scratch.

[kindred iron]

Yeah looks unique n cool i get that

[dusk sail]

Thats not a bear you make a rug out of. Hes mounted as a full body.

[peak cedar]

^

[kindred iron]

Nice yeah pop it in albino and you've sold the idea to me

[dusk sail]

A awesome multi mount would be the brown bear GO taking down another GO.

[mighty dove]

They could possibly make the predator GOs completely aggressive. It’s not the greatest idea, but what if the animal has a 100% chance of coming after you? Smaller predators would need something different

[kindred iron]

Yeah there is a mount called bear hug, that would be great for bear GOs

[dusk sail]

Smaller predators slink around and try and hit you from behind,a larger GO like a bear or lion will just charge you.

[languid wedge]

Ay so giving them water buffalo level shit

[split arch]

Approximately 187 000 😉

[mighty dove]

Yes, but even more so

[kindred iron]

Ok like beware the ravenous wil red fox chasing after you. Okaaaaay lol

[languid wedge]

I will be beyond happy the day that water buffalo get a great one like that will be the most excitement I could get for one maybe mule deer would be close second

[kindred iron]

Scrappy Do the wild Fox

[dusk sail]

I honestly wouldn't mind a fallow GO

[mighty dove]

Buffalo/Bison are not my favorite type of animals to hunt

But I will suffer

[kindred iron]

Bison are very rare diamonds though.

[languid wedge]

I'm not the biggest fan of trying to grind for bison and Cape buffalo but I can hunt water buffalo all day long and have fun

[dusk sail]

I like hunting them. I want a diamond and I rarely even see high golds.

[languid wedge]

I need a European diamond to finish the collection of them

[midnight moon]

sorry, working and trying to keep up with the convo. lol. the one thing about bears i am curious about - would females make GO?

[kindred iron]

If you get a diamond Euro Bison consider yourself an expert at the game. (I havent and dont)

[midnight moon]

and also...how would you grind them? They arent in herds like WT or RD.

[dusk sail]

I've killed nearly all my bucklist diamonds. I just need a alligator,a bison,a cape buffalo,and a raccoon.

[uneven bloom]

That could be a little callback to a mission in Classic

[kindred jetty]

Bear GO?

[dusk sail]

Lol

[uneven bloom]

if that comment was in regards to a bear GO

[dusk sail]

In regards to A fallow great one. Its a shame this isn't a rare fur pattern for fallow

[kindred iron]

That is exactly why predators are rarer diamonds and will never be a popular GO because unlike Deer they dont line up in a row nicely at every lake next to your tent during the day. Predators would be a proper challenge rather than the usual retitive grind. People wont like the idea.

[dusk sail]

I honestly think grinding is boring. I did it for my fallow diamond and didn't even kill it that way. I just shot the highest level male I could barely see.

It was so stupid.

[uneven bloom]

yeah grinding can easily cause burnout

[kindred iron]

Completely agree. Even fast travelling breaks the immersion for me.

[uneven bloom]

I'm 1000+ in on my second WT one and I am sick of Acres at this point

[midnight moon]

its possible they just up the spawn rates for brown bear, so i wouldnt worry much about that part.

[dusk sail]

I'm too the point where I don't even like carrying more then 2 guns if its not a rifle,a shotgun,and a handgun.

[midnight moon]

meaning - if WT GO spawns 5% off a WT diamond, then just up the brown bear to 20%.

or whatever the balanced number is.

[kindred iron]

Trouble is once u start a GO grind u need to keep going till u harvest it. If u shoot anything else or switch maps then u mess with the rng n map heat.

[languid wedge]

2800 reds in on ta I'm about to go insane

[dusk sail]

If I ever kill a great one it will be pure luck.

[midnight moon]

wait...explain this more? im not understanding.

[dusk sail]

I'm not grinding for it. I don't like doing it.

I hate not being able to use blinds for the same reason.

[vapid garden]

I'm pretty sure great ones have the same chance of spawning regardless. Just the more you kill the higher chance you have of it spawning

My WT GO was an initial spawn on layton lmfao

Or at least I'm pretty sure it was

[kindred iron]

Ok i assumed u were familiar with the content creators grind methods. Check some if them out if youre interested

[mighty dove]

I would!

[midnight moon]

GO spawn off diamonds. its all about raising or lowering the trophy score.

[dusk sail]

Bow hunting needs fixed

You should be able to camo blinds and be completely invisible unless you're moving

Buckshot and slugs need reworked

Shotguns need a choke system.

[uneven bloom]

Not necessarily.

[mighty dove]

Getting a predator GO as a kill would be a top notch trophy

[midnight moon]

I am...or thought i was a bit...i havent heard of this though.

[midnight moon]

100%.

[uneven bloom]

my first GO did not come off a diamond's respawn

[vapid garden]

No one knows exactly how the spawning works, I think the great one spawns are similar to the way rares spawn

[uneven bloom]

iirc it came off a gold

[vapid garden]

it's just a set chance, but a low chance

[mighty dove]

Great Ones do not spawn off of diamonds

That has been debunked several times

[kindred jetty]

They're just a random spawn for everyone except me...

[kindred iron]

With Red Deer for example ud only being shooting the top 2 stags in each herd in say 8 drink zones and just repeat that and never deviate from it until the job is done.

[kindred jetty]

I swear @sudden ginkgo did something... didn't like the Lynx competition LOL

So he banned my GOs LOL

(totally kidding)

[mighty dove]

My Red Deer GO spawned off of a level 6 at a small lake. Small enough to only ever have a single male there and the run before he spawned I killed a 6 and no I did not miss anything else

[midnight moon]

ok, didnt mean to open a can of worms - and i could write an essay on respawns in the game. the amount of hours ive put into figuring out how respawns work is nutty. but i have full confidence that great ones spawn off diamonds.

[vapid garden]

Ye I think they just have the same chance of spawning regardless of what they spawn off of

like rares

[uneven bloom]

Debunked. Several times.

[mighty dove]

You’d be wrong lol

[kindred iron]

Its all down to the god of rng. But to put the odds in your favour its best to stick with one map one species one sex otherwise u r just adding extra to the rng n lessening your chances

[midnight moon]

hmmmmmm interesting.

[mighty dove]

If they did spawn off diamonds technically no initial spawns would exist

[midnight moon]

not true...initial pop is rng.

you can init spawn any trophy rating.

[kindred iron]

With deer i shoot the femals as well tbh. Im all for equality.

[midnight moon]

ok...id definitely love to pick your brain, because there are a number of reasons i wouldnt agree with this.

biggest is...spawns dont change gender so shooting females has no bearing on a great one spawn.

[kindred iron]

Ok but nobody knows an answer for certain except a couple of developers

[mighty dove]

That one is true, spawns do not change genders

[lunar crag]

yeah

[kindred iron]

I 100% agree i have always said any animal can respawn as a male or female so it dosent matter. Some disagree with that but from my 5 years experience id suggest it really makes no difference.

[kindred iron]

They 100% can honesrly

[midnight moon]

spawns do not change gender...if you down a female it respawns female.

[clever oar]

Exactly

[mighty dove]

I do not believe that. Animals can switch in and out of zones where a different gender was previously but they spawn the same gender, just a different size

Size, fur type, the usual etc.

[kindred iron]

Depends on the species i believe

[mighty dove]

Nah

[kindred iron]

Roe Deer for example dosent matter Red Deer it dose.

[vapid garden]

It matters with every animal I've noticed so far

even alligators

[midnight moon]

what matters?

[vapid garden]

gender

[kindred iron]

Seriously? Ok if you all say so i best be more careful what i shoot.

[midnight moon]

no. i cant express this enough. females respawn female. males respawn male. in every instance.

[vapid garden]

Ye that's what I meant

[kindred iron]

Things like female roe deer n moose though, there are so many i just think bang take that i'll have the xash n xp now dont come back

[lusty orbit]

Otherwise, you could potentially have a single gender population

[kindred iron]

I didnt think of that good point

So the only femals to shoot are Gemsbock, Euro Hare, any others?

[midnight moon]

i think what people see as respawns are actually need zone mechanics. for instance...id be curious if those that shot a great one off a gold...if they had 0 diamonds in their grind.

if that happens...im listening.

[kindred iron]

Some say its very rare but possible that a GO is already on your map.

Last July several CCs had 3 gos down in just a few weeks.

[frail tusk]

Cottontails iirc

Female chamois can make diamond too

What DLCs do you already have roush

[midnight moon]

shoot them all. they are good money and xp. just dont wipe them from your zone.

[kindred iron]

Ok thanks guys

[frail tusk]

are you sure you don't want a map

oh wait you can play them on mp right

mp is risky though

hackers can affect your singleplayer maps through multiplayer

just be careful, try to play with people you trust

[dusk sail]

Quail. Only female quail can make diamond.

[frail tusk]

for non map dlcs id recommend one of these:
treestands & tripods - lets you shoot tons of animals in one spot
wild goose chase or whatever - you can make a crap ton of money off geese
weapon pack 1 - 22 (great for small game), crossbow (allowed on all animals), recurve
smoking barrels - m1 (super fast and strong), 10ga (best shotgun imo), 50 caplock
atv - makes traversing the map way easier

[dusk sail]

The 10 gauge would be the best. If it had 4x more pellets then the 20 gauge and the 410

To my knowledge all shotguns have the same amount of pellets in birdshot.

[frail tusk]

12ga pump has 6, but is weaker than the 10ga

smoking barrels is my favorite weapon pack

[dusk sail]

It is. Its very good at taking things at up to 150 if you can hit them. Even with the round ball ammo.

[kindred iron]

Thats great to know tyvm. Apparently they are one the hardest diamonds

[dusk sail]

Its gotta to the point I try and shoot females first. Males can hit high gold but they can't hit diamond because its measured by weight.

[kindred iron]

I use the 10 guage atm was hoping to get a Quail n Pheasant to finish the bird diamonds before the new birds come out.

[dusk sail]

I use the semi auto or SXS 20 when I hunt quail. I killed my diamond pheasant with the 16 gauge pump.

[kindred iron]

Ok so with birds same as me shoot the lot. Yeah i thought that the best strategy, same with small game. Anthything other than large deer. If youre in my way down u go.

[kindred iron]

Congrats i really want one. Diamond pheasant seem rare toi. U use ironsights with that skill point that zoims in twice?

[languid wedge]

All hares cottontail rabbit and quail are the only ones that are female only diamonds gemsbok chamois and gray fox are male and female diamonds

[dusk sail]

I hardly ever focus. And yes I use irons. I like the 16 and both 20's because the irons don't suck. I've been using the 12 gauge with the red dot recently on geese tho

[kindred iron]

Ok same as me good. And do u think the shotguns have varying degrees of recoil and accuracy or not really?

[dusk sail]

The "recoil" of the shotguns doesn't bother me that much. I hunt with a shotgun irl more then anything else and I can tell you the games recoil system is nothing like how a "professional" hunter would handle recoil.

The 20 gauge has a slight jump too it
16 has more recoil then 12
And 10 is only good for geese due to the recoil and low capacity.

[kindred iron]

Sure yup its all about muscle memory irl

Ok i wont use the 10 anymore. I assumed 10ga birdshot would have more punch n spread than a 20 but seems the same to me

[dusk sail]

You're better off using the 12 or the 16. All the shotguns have the same amount of pellets to my knowledge.

[terse girder]

10g has more range

I recommend using it for quail and pheasants

[dusk sail]

It feels like it does for sure.

Quail and pheasant die very easily however. 2 or 3 pellets will kill them.

[languid wedge]

That would be lyra she had 1 great one 0 diamond 0 rares in 278 (iirc) kills on rancho

[uneven bloom]

286, and there was one initial-spawn diamond.

Zilch for rares.

[kindred iron]

Thanks for your advice appreciate it

[kindred iron]

But the sights suck

[terse girder]

You can more reliably shoot them from a while away tho

[dusk sail]

When the bead/receiver ring is bigger than the bird it doesn't matter.

Not to mention the 10 gauge has more recoil and you can't put any sight on it.

If you could put the scope or one of the red dots on it? Maybe.

3 rounds,more recoil,worse sights? No thanks.

[kindred iron]

Ok thnx i cant reliably see Quail from a distance yet alone shoot em and as for finding them lol

Yeah i tried the 10ga. Not a fan tbh.

[dusk sail]

Again as a person from the nearby area,if you want to be realistic use a 870 [12 g pump] or either of the 20 gauges.

For a rifle use the 270,30-06 or 45-70.

[kindred iron]

Ok thanks Chris will give that loadout a run.

[dusk sail]

My honest favorite loadout is the 44,the 30-06 and the 20 gauge SXS

[kindred iron]

Ive not used the 44 in ages. Had a diamond roosevelt elk from one a long time ago. One shot to the heart.

[terse girder]

I just run at warning calls, then when they fly away i shoot them, and i can hit them no matter where they are with the 10g usually

[kindred iron]

Ok so best strategy keep running at them?

Thats the best strategy for rabbits n hares imo

12ga cacciatore with 6 cartridges that should compensate for 2 or 3 missed shots

[terse girder]

Yes, run at their warning call and spot them and shoot them

[kindred iron]

Thanks i will do that.

[terse girder]

ye, i recommend having the 10g and another shotgun

10g for distanced shots and the other shotgun for closer

[kindred iron]

Ok i'll use 12ga for closer, 6 shots at close range n nithing escapes

[stiff leaf]

oi

those dont look like the geese we discussed earlier

Those look like canadian hjonkers to me

unless thats hirschfelden

which it doesn't strike me as

[lusty orbit]

Are we still debating the genders of virtual animals?

[stiff leaf]

i wasn't here for like 12+ hours so i have no clue

[graceful saffron]

Sighs 800 kills in on rancho and bucks stopped respawning so now.im on Layton again I hope with the reset they fix that stuff

[rancid pecan]

You cant really tell

They're in the shadows

Not worth overanalyzing

[stiff leaf]

true

[peak cedar]

where is that from

yeah could be me, but it def does not look like the bean goose

even with the shadow effect the color isn't matching

[stiff leaf]

its def not hirsch apon further looking

and is that white on the head?

CANDA GOOS!

HJONK

[peak cedar]

I could have told you that, it's the new reserve lol

[stiff leaf]

I hope they make the wing flapping speed realistic

[graceful saffron]

I want beavers tbh good map for em I want revenge

[stiff leaf]

I'm thinking map releases June 3rd

[midnight moon]

So wait, you did have a diamond kill or no? I’m confused.

[uneven bloom]

One, yes. Initial-spawn.

near the start of the grind as well.

[midnight moon]

Oh ok.

So then maybe I’m wrong. How could you tell your GO spawned off a gold?

[peak cedar]

beavers are a good fit on the map

[wind ridge]

so far we have these

Moose
Brown Bear
Whitetail Deer
Raccoon Dog
Western Capercaillie
Black Grouse
Mallard
Canada Goose
Bean/Greylag Goose

[peak cedar]

~ Bean goose isn't confirmed~ just a really good guess

[vapid garden]

Unless??? 😏

[limber cliff]

O: It do be lookin pale

[limber cliff]

Maybe barnacle goose?

[vapid garden]

Maybe

they have pretty light colored bodies too tho

[limber cliff]

True; the underwing do be lookin light as well

Alternatively- it’s a blurry sunset photo so

[wind ridge]

only 3 species of goose are on the list of allowed species, Canada goose, Greylag goose and Bean goose, I don't think we will see any other than those

[vapid garden]

I could see them taking some creative liberties but I guess we'll find out

[dusk creek]

When would this map even be coming out?

[uneven bloom]

Sometime next month.

[carmine blade]

On a Tuesday

[stiff leaf]

canda goos confirmed?

[wind ridge]

the ones in that image are similar, and since the one in the previous image was a Bean/Greylag we can say that it will be one of the species on the map

[stiff leaf]

okay, im still not gonna add anything to the pinned messages thing unless its EW confirmed

[brave ore]

Any more confirmed animals?

[mossy atlas]

I'd rather a confirmed date than a animal

[grand cipher]

Nah we get something tomorrow

Usually a teaser

[acoustic elbow]

we already got the teaser

[vapid garden]

more teaser

[languid wedge]

Soo official trailer?

[vapid garden]

We can hope

[peak cedar]

It's gonna be the trailer

past 4-5 reserves it's been a week after the teaser

[midnight moon]

Depends if they have a release date. If they do then I’d guess a trailer.

[peak cedar]

and with trailer you get release dates 😛

[midnight moon]

^^^^

[peak cedar]

they have a release date already in mind trust me

it's not something they wing. Once they show off a teaser 90% are set from that point on

[stiff leaf]

🤔

June 3rd

im placing 0$

[peak cedar]

latest it'll be is June 7th if things go to plan I bet

[mighty dove]

I don’t care when it is, I want it to be good

I want a trailer tomorrow and with that a release date and the weeks approaching the release I want more info about the reserve that will get us more excited about it

I also want a double fudge sundae but I will take a trailer

[languid wedge]

Ooo I want a fudge sundae to

[warm basin]

Me too

[peak cedar]

fudge sundae does sound quite good

[stiff leaf]

I bought 4 cookies and ice cream 😋

[quaint lintel]

12 hours and 20 minutes to go.

[stiff leaf]

well, I won't be able to catch this stream regardless of the time because SCHOOL! but nontheless excited

[peak cedar]

the perks of not being in school anymore

[dusk sail]

I'm sure the recap will be in a pinned message here.

[stiff leaf]

haha, I need to hop on and update this ASAP when I get home

thank goodness its gonna be a tuesday and i have no afterschool activities

[dusk sail]

Yes.

Hoping we learn more about the content other then the map.

A gun if we're getting one tbh

[brave ore]

Hahahah all of yall wishin’ for a fudge sundae? I GOT ONE. With homemade brownies AND some whipped cream AND some freshly made strawberry sauce (whole strawberries included)

Would send a pic if there was any left

[stiff leaf]

Nice find creation

[brave ore]

Nah ice cream was something my cousins and i made this morning, my grandmother made her family famous brownies, and i also made the whipped cream and the strawberry sauce

The whipped cream was more like chantille cream

[stiff leaf]

#🦝︴off-topic but thats pretty nice

i do have to go... (sadly, no thinking about finland is involved)

[brave ore]

Yea (and apologies wanted to say it here since people were talking about it)

[graceful saffron]

I jist fucked up a double diamond on rancho a lvl 2 and 3 I got the 3 and messed up the two I hate myself ugh😭

[stiff leaf]

not the right channel

[quaint lintel]

You know what's mind blowing?! We can't talk about cotw in off topic chat because it's off topic ... but if it is off topic, doesn't that mean that it's fine to talk about it in off topic chat?! xD

[stiff leaf]

😱

[quaint lintel]

😂😂

[soft lava]

Go to the general chat

[languid wedge]

Imagine having school

[stiff leaf]

shut yo

[languid wedge]

🤪

[peak cedar]

I would talk crap but I’m tryna get into college in a few months 😭😂

[quaint lintel]

I'm in college rn, glad E.W. releases a new map every time it's finals to ease the pressure!

[jaunty pine]

I cannot wait to hear pegi 16

[radiant patio]

Playtest eh?

I wonder if they are going to release video of it

[ornate rain]

I think I've successfully signed up for it, but there's no indication that I know of, so ill just hope for the best

[languid wedge]

Imma try in the morning

[rancid pecan]

Applied for friday 27th

Hopefully we'll meet in the playtest vc

[radiant patio]

I didnt sign up, I want to test it with my friend when it comes out

hope they release pictures/videos of the map tho

[ornate rain]

Ye

[unkempt condor]

Yall are play testing the new map or another game?

[grave sigil]

Is the play testing avaliable on console?

[unkempt condor]

Idk

[grave sigil]

Do you know where i can ask to get an answer?

[rancid pecan]

Remote is only pc

For obvious reasons

[grave sigil]

Ok

[peak cedar]

If you didn’t get a message at the end saying they will email or call you with the time around when it happens it didn’t go through

[red swift]

EW showing off finland today?

[jade thicket]

possibly roll on 2 and half hrs

[red swift]

maybe new GO

[potent bane]

Not yet

[midnight moon]

How long till stream

[peak cedar]

2 hours

[stiff leaf]

well, if all goes to plan and they do release the trailer for RC, i guess I can just watch it at school

also if anybody could, can you copy my list in pinned messages and add whatever new information we get and DM it to me so I can get an instant update for everyone

[lusty orbit]

i think they are going to show the waterfowl rework today, but not on the new map

but we should get a trailer for it today

[peak cedar]

I hope not

for everyone's sake

the chat would just be spammed nonstop "show new map" "go on the new map" "can we see the new map"

[lusty orbit]

yeah well

what can you do

[peak cedar]

avoid that...

that's what lmao

[lusty orbit]

they have never shown the map and the trailer the same day

[peak cedar]

because no legit questions would be answered because chat would just be flooded

they have also never shown the map this early

so things in the past may or may not have any say

[hidden quest]

they said they want to break the viewer record this stream, and to do that they’ll have to show something huge, so whatever it is, I think it’s going to be juicy

[peak cedar]

and what's SRPs 4000+?

[lone prairie]

How will the weapon wheel work?

[peak cedar]

if it's not the new map that won't happen

not enough people are interested in ducks alone to break SRPs record

[lusty orbit]

i doubt we'll see the new map today

[midnight moon]

We will

[hidden quest]

I’ve never really paid attention to the viewer number, I’ve always just focused on the actual stream lol

[lone prairie]

I would pay the map even 20$ just for small game

[lusty orbit]

i mean, i'm not against it

[lone prairie]

Capercaille grouse ducks geese racoondog

[peak cedar]

they always say every once in a while when they hit a new record

[lone prairie]

I just love small game so much

[kindred iron]

Is it too early in the day to yell HYPE, kind of rude not to. HYPE . Hope they get more viewers they deserve them for sure.

[lusty orbit]

just don't think its likely based on past experience

but by all means, prove me wrong EW

[lone prairie]

Imagine getting bird dog and 12ga semi auto with the map

[hidden quest]

I mean, it’s in less than 2 hours from now, so I’d say it’s an appropriate time lol

[peak cedar]

you won't get a dog for at least a few months

another one

[vale charm]

Does anyone know when the map is supposed to be released?

[lusty orbit]

no

[hidden quest]

no

[vale charm]

ok thanks

[kindred iron]

Mid to late June is a good geuss thouvb

[peak cedar]

Late June 🤢

[red swift]

first week of June likely

couple weeks

[lusty orbit]

my guess is 31 may

[rain valley]

What we should expect from the today's stream?

[red swift]

they can release it patch later

[lusty orbit]

or 7 june

[peak cedar]

May 31st or June 7th are really good guesses

[kindred iron]

Not this week is an even better guess

[hidden quest]

if it comes out between the 3rd of June and the 10th… that’ll be a for me since I’m going on vacation at that time lol

[peak cedar]

but vacation is W so...

[hidden quest]

ye

[stiff leaf]

Regardless, school for me ends on the 26th

[hidden quest]

I guess I’ll be prepared at least

[stiff leaf]

and I don't have vacation anywhere

[peak cedar]

graduating?

[kindred iron]

Blank you could add campfires to your list. Thats a new feature.

[stiff leaf]

🤔

[peak cedar]

campfires aren't new

[midnight moon]

I have to go to bed cant stay up for stream got to work early.

[lone prairie]

Imagine them releasing the DLC directly on stream

[lusty orbit]

they always release a new dlc when i'm neck deep in exams 😩

[stiff leaf]

I wonder how many species they are gonna reveal within the actual trailer

[peak cedar]

Blank didn't even add reticle customization to the list 😩

[kindred iron]

In the steam description it says rest by cozy campfires at night. There is also a photo of a campfire.

[stiff leaf]

i have a rat to dissect on thursday....

🐀

[red swift]

Jaxybeard going to be fired up today lol

[stiff leaf]

too bad i cant take home a bag of rat™️

[red swift]

😂

[kindred iron]

Sort your list out Blank dont leave anyrhing blank m'kay

[peak cedar]

is he gonna be on stream though, that's early for him

[rain valley]

What we should expect from the today's stream?

[stiff leaf]

come ON aight

[red swift]

Meggles on stream today?

[peak cedar]

all three of them on stream

I'd like that

[stiff leaf]

added to scenery

[red swift]

TK is for sure

thats why doing it early

[peak cedar]

I thought he had a hunting trip?

[lusty orbit]

well deam... good luck with that 😅

[kindred iron]

Thanks thats a great list u r doing

[stiff leaf]

ty

[tawdry nebula]

[stiff leaf]

[teal ruin]

Thank you

[tawdry nebula]

Oop

After 2 hours

[teal ruin]

Itd be so cool if the map had weather like yukon

[stiff leaf]

dang, well i have to go

bye bye

[teal ruin]

Bye

[frail tusk]

I'm not gonna be able to watch the stream

The pains of timezones

[red swift]

10am est time

[rain valley]

What we should expect from the today's stream?

[peak cedar]

we don't know what to expect

[quaint lintel]

2 hours till the trailer 👀🤞🏻

[split charm]

Trailer?

I hope so

[quaint lintel]

We usually get it a week after the teaser... so yea, I hope so too xD

[red swift]

we already seen a trailer

[split charm]

Thats what i also thought about

The we get trailer after 1 week

after the teaser

But they said they dont have release date

So we might not get release date

[quaint lintel]

They can just say "Coming Soon" or "Add to Wishlist" at the end of it

[split charm]

or early summer

[quaint lintel]

Even if we don't get the trailer, this stream is gonna be juicy too! Bet we'll know couple of new things coming

[red swift]

likely show the finland map

today

[split charm]

I think they said last stream that they are going to reveal something next week
