[warm basin]

Prob trades

[storm sphinx]

TheFuq

[midnight moon]

naw

ik him he dont trade

[warm basin]

Do u really know him tho

[midnight moon]

despises it

[midnight moon]

yes

ik a guy with like 12 who trades

[vivid cosmos]

He got lucky on the rancho release I think I remember

Some people did

[midnight moon]

there’s a lot of traders on ps4

mods

[stiff leaf]

no shit

[vivid cosmos]

Erase that you will get banned

[fair jetty]

Add beavers to new map

[stiff leaf]

eh probably

i do look at every lodge i see...

[uneven bloom]

Could also be blacktail on Layton 🤷‍♀️

[tawdry nebula]

He was grinding 24 hours a day

[uneven bloom]

or, y'know, mallards

[stiff leaf]

[vivid cosmos]

Mallards don't have TRURacs, I think the GO is heavily directed by TRUracs

[uneven bloom]

Doesn't have to be.

[midnight moon]

GO is just a bigger diamond. if it can hit diamond they can do GO.

fallow deer grind>>>>>

[uneven bloom]

it's been stated a few times that the devs have been exploring GO options for non-TruRacks animals

[fair jetty]

I got a 288 moose is that great diamond?

[stiff leaf]

296+ better

[tawdry nebula]

Nop, moose can reach +300

[fair jetty]

Ok ty

[empty shuttle]

(there are many options)

wolves bears lions coyotes etc

[midnight moon]

yes but how tho

[storm sphinx]

It would be hilarious if the new GO would just sprint in front of Jaxy on his livestream

[fair jetty]

Everything in vurhonga look ugly

[midnight moon]

all those GO would look the same

[tawdry nebula]

What if fallow deer? since everyone was grinding for it before GO red deer

[midnight moon]

naw it’s gonna be moose

[vernal jackal]

True that

[uneven bloom]

everyone's going to be all surprised-pikachu if it's not moose

[midnight moon]

it’s went layton the that stupid European map now back to layton moose

[empty shuttle]

"oh... well, no more suprise then."

[midnight moon]

this also has me suspicious its on the new map. you'd think it would be slightly dangerous to hunt on the new map for hours and hours and hours in the event there was an init GO on the map.

[vivid cosmos]

COTW updates are predictable cause it's community driven people want a Moose GO

[stiff leaf]

they use their dev powers to smoke any great ones

[vivid cosmos]

I mean he doesn't shoot many animals

It's not possible for him to spawn a GO and the chance of a GO spawning with initials is as rare as the chance of getting one the normal way

[midnight moon]

thats my point. as a dev company you'd have to be worried with anything that wasnt a 0% chance.

its true, they could probably take any GO off the map but i dunno. i dont know what their dev tools offer.

i can definitely assure you EW wouldnt want a GO leaked by accidentally glassing one on stream.

i’ve killed like 500 fallow deer and only have 3 rares and 5 dimes

[tawdry nebula]

I killed 200 and I have 4 diamonds and 2 rares

Piebald tho

[midnight moon]

:-:

[tawdry nebula]

I wanted albino

[midnight moon]

2 piebalds and a mela

on my old acc i killed a level 3 but fucked him up a albino

[tawdry nebula]

lol

[midnight moon]

i mean i have 3 mela does but those where luck

[empty shuttle]

a community driven game is a great game

[fair jetty]

Ye let's push for Arabian map next

Or some new species for the existing Maps

[empty shuttle]

nah im going for australia

[fair jetty]

What species do you want in Australia

[empty shuttle]

uhh a lot

there is a lot of unique animals ther

[stiff leaf]

all of them

[empty shuttle]

like kangaoos

sambar deer

you ge the point

[fair jetty]

Nice

[coarse lintel]

Honestly i'll take any new map at this point with a new medium/big game animal with antlers or horns.

[fair jetty]

Arabian map with leopards, ibex , some gazzeles... And dessert looking map

[brave ore]

*desert

[fair jetty]

Dessert | mountain

[brave ore]

I dont thing the desert is made out of dessert?

An ice cream desert…… 🤤

[fair jetty]

Dessert

[agile mortar]

I don't have access to dev tools. Yet 😈

[brave ore]

No its desert, your saying dessert as in cake or ice cream

Desert is sand, dessert is food

[fair jetty]

I want both

[brave ore]

Lol

I mean, i got sour tropical llama gummies rn

[fair jetty]

Rancho was great looking dessert map I want another dessert my dream

[brave ore]

Are you doing that on purpose now

[fair jetty]

We have very similar looking maps

[brave ore]

Its desert. rancho is a desert

Not a food

A desert

[tawdry wing]

when does f||🅱️eangus|| release

[jade thicket]

soon

[fair jetty]

Is it announced?

[agile mortar]

Not yet. We don't know yet!

[tawdry wing]

they fell for one of the classic blunders

[jade thicket]

recap of the whole stream up soon

[languid wedge]

Oh duck god

[kindred jetty]

It's concept art for the new GO

[tawdry wing]

™️

[agile mortar]

Wait! Did we have a leak? 🤣😇😉

[tawdry nebula]

Duckraptor

[kindred jetty]

Yes... I would have been the content creator to leak it but... face for radio... voice for print... so...

I should honestly look for more creature leaks to work with... if you come up with something you want me to make @agile mortar you just give the word.

[languid wedge]

[kindred jetty]

Oh god... I found one @sudden ginkgo will hate...

[languid wedge]

Do you only do soon or do you do anything?

[kindred jetty]

Anything really

I just gotta cut parts out into a PNG file to make it transparent like above

[languid wedge]

It's perfect

[kindred jetty]

Cashnip killed so many it forced them to evolve! LOL

[arctic pond]

What?

[hard wind]

🅱eangus

[tawny bane]

So still no release date for Finland

[languid wedge]

Yup

[arctic pond]

?

Sorry I’m dumb I know

[hard wind]

Bean goose. 🙂

[candid cliff]

Anyone hoping that they remove the 12ga o/u optic rail for the next update

[agile mortar]

Just read your post in feedback. I guess it's not viewed as "broken" and as there is so much content being added I can safely say no. At least not for this update.

Sorry man

[candid cliff]

Ok, just wondering. I was just hoping since it’s very hard to use at the moment with the railing

Without the railing it would be my most use shotgun.

[amber kiln]

Yeah the railing is a major issue

[tawdry wing]

@agile mortar In current versions the red dots still have half the sensitivity of the iron sights despite both having the same magnification. Is this handled in the next or maybe later updates?

[agile mortar]

Yes this got adjusted. Much easier to use now

[tawdry wing]

ah nice to hear, thanks.

[agile mortar]

Pleasure!

I'm really pleased with how they feel comparatively now

[candid cliff]

I can’t wait to use the new red dot site on my shotguns

Especially for realistic turkey hunts

[agile mortar]

I use to avoid the red dot for obvious reasons. Now I feel I will use it constantly 🤣

[celest eagle]

Hi jaxybeard I loved the stream

[agile mortar]

Howdy Duck!

Tyty! Was a blast today

[candid cliff]

I also can’t wait to host duck hunts with like 5 friends

[tawdry wing]

The still seem to be overly zoomed-to-the-face in some weapons disproportionately, I wonder if this will change later.

[celest eagle]

Yeah I stayed up most of the night for the stream😅

[tawdry wing]

Not a deal breaker of course. I'm definitely gonna give the red dots another chance all the same.

[agile mortar]

Now that's dedication!

[agile mortar]

Please let me know what you end up thinking of it

[celest eagle]

Thanks 😊

[candid cliff]

I just like I can change the color to see better when I’m duck or goose hunting

[agile mortar]

That's is my favorite part to the rework lol

Love yellow tint

[tawdry nebula]

same

[tawdry wing]

yellow tint is really good at reducing glare

[agile mortar]

You can get a lot of glare on certain maps. This will help a lot

[celest eagle]

I thought it was amazing the raccoon dogs looked so fluffy and so real

[candid cliff]

Jaxy which is your fav duck from the new map.

[agile mortar]

Something about the goldeneye!

Although I feel the teals are the fastest hence more of a challenge

[amber kiln]

I’m ready for the tufted! I love them irl

[candid cliff]

Imagine if we get wood ducks now there would be a fast duck

[celest eagle]

I can’t wait for the teal

[agile mortar]

Would be amazing. You never know! 😉

[candid cliff]

I feel like EW is at some point gonna go back to older maps this year

IDK why tho

[celest eagle]

Will the red dot sight still need to have a handgun score to buy it?

[tawdry wing]

I don't recall them talking about it so I'd guess yes

anniversary edition sights question mark

[agile mortar]

I believe so yes. That's a good question

[candid cliff]

I’m wonder what my diamond brown bear is gonna look like in this new update

[bold coyote]

I missed the stream did we get a release date by chance?

[uneven bloom]

The devs don't have a release date yet either.

[bold coyote]

Okay thx

[candid cliff]

Also, does anyone know if we are getting the summer fur variation for mountain hare or winter variation

[tawdry nebula]

Maybe both

[exotic furnace]

Backpacks need a buff.

[jade thicket]

recap of stream uploaded out now

[exotic furnace]

I am curious weither we can still farm geese in Hirschfelden for money since they're being overhauled too.

[mighty dove]

If they have zones, maybe they will be located in the fields still

[jade thicket]

was just looking up raccoon dogs and found out i have them living in the wild literally right next to me 👀

[stiff leaf]

woah

[jade thicket]

didnt even know they were in the uk

[quaint lintel]

Moose had to be there 👀

[stiff leaf]

mose

[exotic furnace]

Let's hope so

[jade thicket]

for me raccoon dogs capercallie teal ptarmigan and of course new great one

[tawdry wing]

big nosed chonk deer

[quaint lintel]

Yea ... the Mooooose xD

New Great one

[grave tangle]

@agile mortar thoughts on silencer in cotw? Have the developers of Hunter ever thought of making a silencers?

[mighty dove]

I’m sure they have considered them

But I feel like they would make the game too OP and it’s already pretty easy as is

[exotic furnace]

Facts

That's why they added that air rifle

[stiff leaf]

besides with the spook range not being render its already ridiculously easy to get animals to not spook

[glacial summit]

The only correct answers are all but the whitetail GO

personally im hyped for upland birbs

[warm basin]

^

[rancid pecan]

Yes

[rancid pecan]

If they ever made silencers they'd be just cosmetic
Games already easy enough

It'd completely break the games balance if they were functional

[midnight moon]

possible unconfirmed multimount for revontuli?

[grave tangle]

Fair enough

[agile mortar]

The conversation has been had as it's been requested. I think the challenge would be how they would work. Game balance being a thing. We have some pretty creative folks so it could happen at some point but it's not currently in the cards so to speak.

[warm basin]

Is there anything being considered to combat the excessive duping and trading of animals through multiplayer

[tawdry wing]

asking for suppressors is a bit like asking for release date at this point

everyone does it and the devs are well aware of it

[stiff leaf]

suppressors bad

[desert sphinx]

I don't think suppressors would break the game balance at all, a shot taken with a suppressor is still more than loud enough to spook animals out to quite a distance, it could just have reduced hunting pressure like bows

[stiff leaf]

what you are describing would break the game balance.

[desert sphinx]

do bows breaks the game balance?

[stiff leaf]

no, their thing is at close range. Meanwhile rifles can shoot upwards of 300m, even 400m+

[tawdry wing]

500m easily if you consider the shooting* range

[blazing turtle]

I don't see much of an issue with suppressors, from what I understand its the norm with hunting in Europe

[desert sphinx]

what difference does bows being close range make? i'm not saying that with a suppressor you should be able to take shots and drop animals and the rest of the herd just stands there not responding at all, I'm just saying reduced hunting pressure like bows

[mighty dove]

But you have to think about how they would work in the game

Less hunting pressure would have to come with a downside

Bows have a downside, they can only shoot so far

If it was as simple as adding them to the game they probably would have done so by now

[deep hearth]

Is there a release date

[blazing turtle]

not yet

[stiff leaf]

no

[exotic furnace]

Tomorrow I'm gonna hunt geese IRL

[unkempt condor]

Any new multi mounts?

[uneven bloom]

Nothing confirmed.

[warm basin]

He said he can neither confirm or deny so yea

[unkempt condor]

Any speculations?

[exotic furnace]

I hope we get weapon inspect animations

So many good guns in the game but you only see 20% of it

[stiff leaf]

I'd like to see that come into the game but I doubt it's gonna be this update

[desert sphinx]

what do people think of the idea of having some kind of expert/advanced mode where you have to dial in the elevation and windage adjustments manually instead of having preset zeroing with the active ability?

[warm basin]

Would require alot of programming which stops them from working on good dlc

[full shard]

This along with better hit registration would 1000% revitalize the game and bring back the whole community.

Any doubts in my head that this game might be shadowed by newer titles would be gone.

[jade thicket]

problem with that is you create barriers in the community

people playing casual and hardcore

you can see that in classic vs cotw

it seems a good idea but not in reality even though i would like it

[fringe surge]

Is Finland out yet

@agile mortar

[frail tusk]

no

[fringe surge]

Dang

[vivid cosmos]

The barrier is already there it's called grinding, people who play casually don't often have time to shoot the necessary animals to get a diamond or a rare, there are some people on the community who had to play for more than 2 years before getting a diamond and people who could finish a map diamond list in a week

[glacial summit]

Its a barrier that has to exist

[uneven bloom]

The barrier is also known as "RNG"

[hidden sundial]

I wouldn't mind manual zeroing instead of the perk since it's the only perk worth using atm

[merry fable]

Since this is an update where we get both a new map and a GO, i would not be suprised if they try a predator GO (brown bear), just to see how the response is from the community on a non-antler GO. If people do not like it, they still have plenty of content in the new map to explore. While a moose-GO could be an update of its own and still bring alot of interest. Just look on the Red Deer release 🙂 My 2 cents

[vivid cosmos]

Yes because people PLAY hunting GAMES to shoot small animals all the time

[languid wedge]

Pew pew

[glacial summit]

So what exactly are you saying? That those who do not have the same amount of time as others should be given the same trophies? Thus rewarding people for doing nothing? This would also wear the game out incredibly fast and everything would quickly become boring. What you are saying is that rng should be removed from the game because poor little me doesn’t have time to hunt as much as insert name?

[warm basin]

Trader prob

Jokes ofc

[glacial summit]

I mean I don’t have near the time of a lot of people, but Im not complaining because if you remove rng and make sure everyone gets a cool trophy then the game will get worn out quickly and there will be no incentive to grinding.

Let it be known Im not hating on anyone nor trying to attack anyone, I am just stating my thoughts as they come lol.

[warm basin]

Only reason cotw hasn't died is the skill ceiling with grinding

[mighty dove]

I know grinding isn’t for some people but I love it

I love going from zone to zone and shooting all the males

Classic is great too, I like roaming around and seeing what I can find

[warm basin]

If this game wasn't so dependent on grinding i would get bored a week after a map comes out

[hidden sundial]

Yeah if you got rares and diamonds/great ones quickly the game would get dull quick

[mighty dove]

Unless you’re LC

or Mel

[hidden sundial]

It still feels nice to get different kinds of golds with different racks and such, Truracks really helped alot

[warm basin]

Like I got 2 diamond reds and 4 diamond wt yesterday yet I'm still grinding them 🤷‍♂️

[mighty dove]

I’ll never get tired of this game

[glacial summit]

Theres a reason people get on the game and shoot small animals even if they don’t have much time

[mighty dove]

I think I am falling in love with rabbit grinding

[glacial summit]

Maybe I shouldn’t say that but anyways

[warm basin]

What kind

[mighty dove]

Ones on Layton

[warm basin]

Bruh how

[mighty dove]

Why

[warm basin]

There the only rabbit I need 😭

I have such shit luck with them

[mighty dove]

Fun fact my diamond rabbit on Layton was one I found just by running by it

[warm basin]

I wish

[mighty dove]

And the one on TA it was out of the burrow and I shot it and it turned out to be a diamond

[glacial summit]

I hate bunnies

Fuck bunnies

(not literally)^

[mighty dove]

sad bunny thumping

[glacial summit]

Lmao

[exotic palm]

what do you mean? i dont see anything wrong with that.

i mean they could add a hardcore and casual chat for discord even

[mighty dove]

Casual is the pc and console chats, hardcore is the fabled chat

[feral ferry]

exactly, I had my great one while going somewhere for a rancho mission when the map came out. It didn’t really require anything but being lucky

[uneven bloom]

Exactly. Only took me 286 deer for this to happen...on Grind #1.

Grind #2, I'm 1000+ in

all comes down to luck.

and the RNG gods smiling upon you.

[vivid cosmos]

That people who can't give the game as much time can't enjoy it

Or not the same way

[glacial summit]

They won’t enjoy it if you remove rng tho

[vivid cosmos]

In Classic everyone gets a chance even if you can only play for 15 minutes you have a chance to get a trophy

[feral ferry]

same in cotw 💀

[vivid cosmos]

You obviously get a better chance the more time you spend

[vivid cosmos]

Just like once for map?

[feral ferry]

no

cotw is easier than classic

[vivid cosmos]

Not in spawning

Anyways this discussion doesn't belong on this channel

[feral ferry]

I’m not following

[vivid cosmos]

I no longer play COTW so my complaints are mostly hollow

[feral ferry]

classic is harder to get trophies in

I have 1.6k hours and my pb is only a 181 whitetail

[vivid cosmos]

Nope you just have to go slow

[feral ferry]

well no shit

[mighty dove]

😂

[vivid cosmos]

I was one time walking out of my lodge and ran into a 230 nontyp

[mighty dove]

It’s different based on experience

[feral ferry]

and on cotw I walked out of the lodge and got a diamond red deer

your not proving anything

[vivid cosmos]

How many did you shot before?

[feral ferry]

like 20?

it was sleeping

[vivid cosmos]

I have like 200 WT kills in classic and 2 rares and 3 nontyps 2of them very big

[feral ferry]

do you mash?

[feral ferry]

and there’s some people that killed like 500 with only 1 rare, it’s all about rng

[vivid cosmos]

No I just hunt, walk around and shoot the best things

[mighty dove]

And you can do that in CoTW too

Classic and CoTW have different spawning mechanics, but they both are based on RNG

[vivid cosmos]

I'll cave in, maybe it's true, I don't really play the two games the same way maybe if I did I'd get similar results

[mighty dove]

CoTW has a faster hunting experience and Classic a more traditional/slower route

[feral ferry]

I think drink zones should get nerfed imo, just so it gives all players somewhat of a reason to hunt feed zones on the side

[mighty dove]

What if they made the herds bigger when feeding or resting and made the drinking herds smaller

[vivid cosmos]

Some herbivores shouldn't even drink that much also

[midnight moon]

Do you enjoy getting diamonds?

[feral ferry]

I think shortening drink zones on the maps with long ones and having them randomly select a drink zone ( like they have a couple drink zones but only go to one randomly each day) would be cool

[mighty dove]

I mean they are nerfing drink zones for a few animals already

[feral ferry]

yeah

they make massive maps with diverse biomes and landscape but most people only hunt the little bodies of water, which is like 10% of the map and gets repetitive

[vivid cosmos]

Twice a day is way to much maybe if they scheduled the need zones by clicks or like 50 in game minutes it would be harder to predict and more realistic right

With every species having different times

[feral ferry]

I don’t want drink zones gone, I just don’t want them to be so dominant

[hidden sundial]

Shortening the time would change it alot, right now Animals drink for around 4 hours which is the time it takes for the skip time cost to go back down

[feral ferry]

I think silver ridge drink times are pretty good

[uneven bloom]

Drink zones are indeed getting nerfed (i.e. removed altogether) for some animals

[feral ferry]

yeah but I was referring to all animals in general as a game mechanic

[uneven bloom]

Jackals, springbok, and European hares don't have them anymore, and both chamois and lynx are losing them probably in this next update

[midnight moon]

what why?

isn’t that unrealistic

[feral ferry]

but the predators (lynx) are going to have people on their toes because of how elusive lynx are

[midnight moon]

i’ve rarely killed any lynx

[peak cedar]

It’s just gonna make people want to hunt them less lol

[midnight moon]

and played the game for 2 years

[feral ferry]

if it was realistic, animals would be there for like only 10 minutes IRL and leave, which is kinda useless to have

[midnight moon]

10 mins in game is so short tho

[feral ferry]

so no drink zones is basically the same thing

[midnight moon]

how we gonna hunt than! all my fallow deer drink zones no

i’m gonna have to hunt feeding

[peak cedar]

Honestly if your gonna have rotating drink zones just remove them from the game. That would be a nightmare to program and it would be a nightmare to learn

[feral ferry]

yeah I figured

[midnight moon]

and all the bugs it would add

[peak cedar]

^

[midnight moon]

every time the game updates 17 new bugs come out

[peak cedar]

That’s essentially rebuilding 1/3 of the game again

[midnight moon]

on ps4 you couldn’t play without the app closing every hour or two

[peak cedar]

Which keep in mind most of these devs aren’t original staff

[midnight moon]

whenever Mississippi came out

[feral ferry]

I think making them shorter would be the most logical nerf without bugging the game out

[peak cedar]

Or they could just leave them the way they are 😂

[midnight moon]

aren’t they like 4-3 in game hours now

[feral ferry]

and pop resets will spread animals more out and make feed zones generally easier to find, which is a buff imo

[peak cedar]

I like that option much more than making every map SRP

[midnight moon]

pop resets are gonna suck

[mighty dove]

Resets are great

[feral ferry]

^

[midnight moon]

all the trades are gonna find more stuff tho @mighty dove

[feral ferry]

it will make the maps feel fresh for me

some maps have too many dead areas I don’t touch really and it will be nice to actually have them huntavle

[midnight moon]

i’ve saw some of the things they’ve found when one of my buddies added me to a group

[hidden sundial]

How other people play isnt important tbh, what i find and goes in my trophy lodge is what matters

[midnight moon]

some kid had a piebald diamond red fox and one kid had a mela mountain lion all kinds of g1s

[midnight moon]

i agree but

the more trades makes a animal less rare

like albino lions

[hidden sundial]

Less rare for them, still rare for me though

[midnight moon]

everyone on ps4 has one

[feral ferry]

trading is just really fucking cheap

[hidden sundial]

I guess it depends on how much you compare though

[midnight moon]

ya

[mighty dove]

The only thing I trade is Pokémon cards

[midnight moon]

on console trading is big tho

like one guy made 200 dollars off a 600 scoring g1

[peak cedar]

Nothing is rare in cotw if you let traders and people who exploit control rarity 😂

[mighty dove]

200 smacaroons?

[midnight moon]

ya usd

[mighty dove]

People pay that much 😭

[peak cedar]

I’m pretty sure that’s against the EULA

[mighty dove]

Of their hard earned money for game animals

[hidden sundial]

Pretty much lol, all i know is it took 2 days of grinding to get a diamond red deer so its rare to me

[midnight moon]

naw he was selling it for 10 so 20 ppl got it

[hidden sundial]

Cannot imagine paying money for one

[midnight moon]

you can’t get banned

[mighty dove]

If they hack or trade I don’t think they care about EULA

[peak cedar]

Hacking isn’t in the EULA lol

[midnight moon]

he didn’t say that

[peak cedar]

You can get sued if you mess with EULA terms

[midnight moon]

well they won’t find out who did it so don’t matter

[midnight moon]

it’s not hacking it’s modding

[peak cedar]

Trust me, this is the internet. People are dumb enough

[midnight moon]

i wanna get a pc just to fuck around with mods

[mighty dove]

“modding”

[midnight moon]

it is

[peak cedar]

Mods aren’t even special in this game lol

[mighty dove]

You realize that mods are against the rules

[midnight moon]

can’t get banned also i don’t mod

can’t get banned on the game atleast

[mighty dove]

You can get banned from the discord

[midnight moon]

yes ik p

i only want mods cause riskys video looked cool

[quaint lintel]

You might as well read the rules since you agreed to them lol

[midnight moon]

anyways i can’t afford a pc to expensive

[mighty dove]

But if you did you would mod

[midnight moon]

ah yes but i wouldn’t claim any of it as mine

like i’ll admit i used to trade i deleted everything i traded for and quit doing it

because they take the game serious and report people also it makes the game boring

[mighty dove]

😬

[peak cedar]

😂

[midnight moon]

what?

[feral ferry]

you might catch the smoke

[midnight moon]

most likely

[mighty dove]

Just that open about it, eh

[midnight moon]

I don’t do it anymore tho so

[feral ferry]

(real)

[peak cedar]

You say that like it makes it better lol

[hidden sundial]

So tradings when you give someone an animal from your reserve or?

[midnight moon]

yes

alts

i can explain it but not here @hidden sundial

don’t wanna get banned i’m trying to avoid that

[feral ferry]

if it’s for money, yes

[midnight moon]

no

[hidden sundial]

Kinda takes the fun out of finding it doesnt it?

[mighty dove]

Anyway the new GO is going to be moose and I will fight anyone who says otherwise 🏃‍♀️

[midnight moon]

yes

[languid wedge]

It's normally a duplicate animal for somebody else's duplicate animal

[midnight moon]

i’m not trading.

[uneven bloom]

Okay, moving on now

[midnight moon]

ya

[languid wedge]

Elk

[peak cedar]

did you even read it

[midnight moon]

yes

[mighty dove]

I will hurt you

[peak cedar]

Watch it not be moose

[languid wedge]

Oh?
At least I didn't say roe deer

[mighty dove]

but watch it be moose

[languid wedge]

Imagine if it's an All bear go

[mighty dove]

If it’s not moose I will steal everyone’s refrigerator

[uneven bloom]

Many people if it's not moose:

[glacial summit]

only if i get ur mower

[mighty dove]

You already have my mower

Give it back

[languid wedge]

But where would I put my leftover fixins

[glacial summit]

NO

[mighty dove]

Simple don’t have leftovers

I’m not hunting brown bears, I can’t take it

[languid wedge]

Lol

If it's a waterfowl great one I would fall over ded

[mighty dove]

Me when I wake up and it’s announced that the GO is in fact not moose

[sudden ginkgo]

me if its lynx

https://tenor.com/view/crab-safe-dance-gif-13211112

[mighty dove]

It’s not going to be

[feral ferry]

it’s going to be axis deer (real)

[mighty dove]

Me when Jaxy says it’s moose but they take away moose drink times

I’m having too much fun

[quaint lintel]

You realize they don't even plan to say on what map can we find the new GO lol, it might take a month before someone finds it xD

[mighty dove]

Me when Zareh doesn’t get in on the jokes

[uneven bloom]

the GO could feasibly be on any map that isn't SRP.

[bitter badger]

GO mountain hare when

[uneven bloom]

which unfortunately rules out mulies.

[mighty dove]

Watch it be Parque

Pumas

[uneven bloom]

I'd honestly be concerned if it was a Parque exclusive, because apparently pumas are still very much capable of killing animals

Ah, but pumas = mountain lions

[mighty dove]

But that’s what makes it fun!

[uneven bloom]

and mountain lions are on SRP

[mighty dove]

Blackbuck let’s go

[uneven bloom]

if it's blackbuck I'm going to cry.

grinding them for a diamond was hell enough

[fresh spoke]

black buck lol

[mighty dove]

Lmao

[quaint lintel]

Wait, just because the SRP isn't getting a reset doesn't mean the new GO isn't there ... Hirshchfelden, Parque, Cuatro and Te Awaroa didn't get a reset when red GO got released, right?

[fresh spoke]

havent hunted those in a while

[uneven bloom]

They did.

or at least partially

[fresh spoke]

i dont think srp not getting reset has anything to do with it

[mighty dove]

Plains Bison

[fresh spoke]

no

[mighty dove]

yes

[fresh spoke]

im going with moose

[uneven bloom]

more specifically the red deer populations all got reset

[quaint lintel]

New Great One could even be a wolf ... I mean, I'm 100% sure it's Moose, but I'm not gonna start grinding until I see someone post it here and confirm

[mighty dove]

Y’all are no fun

European Hare say it with me now

[fresh spoke]

no

[mighty dove]

Wings

[quaint lintel]

Duc

[mighty dove]

‘yes’

[fresh spoke]

elk

[mighty dove]

What if it’s Fallow

[quaint lintel]

Bright shiny GOLDEN 10-Fabled duc

[mighty dove]

What about that one Wings

[fresh spoke]

yeah

[mighty dove]

I will hunt all the ducks

[fresh spoke]

raindeer

[mighty dove]

I’m gonna hunt ur ducks Zareh

Fabled Reindeer and it trolls

[fresh spoke]

[jade wyvern]

GO Canada goose. Size of an ostrich

[solar kernel]

The map comes out tomorrow right?

[vivid night]

i wonder how many of the new animals will have rares and if they will give an alb to mallards

[sudden ginkgo]

where didja hear that?

[solar kernel]

Idek

[sudden ginkgo]

we dont have a release date yet afaik

[vivid cosmos]

Lol

[jade wyvern]

No release date

[empty shuttle]

NOOOOOOOOOOO

[kindred jetty]

It's all been a lie folks!!! LOL

[bitter badger]

Finland is a complete lie, as is Australia and Latvia

[kindred jetty]

No extra map for Lynx for @sudden ginkgo... the cake was a lie...

[bitter badger]

No comment.

[fair jetty]

no

[fair jetty]

no

[hidden quest]

it could still be on SRP, when the GO Red Deer released they reset their population unannounced

[hidden quest]

weight of 2 units, adds a moderate amount of sway when crouched and standing, reduces recoil by a little bit, animals take a little bit longer to spook, sound gets changed. That’s how I think they could do it

[hidden quest]

I think it’s the players (some of them) that are dependent on grinding

[midnight moon]

Releases are at the end of a month (most time)

betweem the 15 - 30 - 31

[hidden quest]

because I don’t think someone getting bored of a map like that after one week is the game’s fault

[midnight moon]

Yes

[ornate rain]

Yes

[hidden quest]

I started typing out an idea for suppressors but then it turned into a long message, so it’s in #882552632793767966 instead lol

[west bramble]

Grinding is boring! My opinion. -- If COTW is utilized as intended the game is never boring.

[hidden quest]

Yeah, I don’t like that grinding is a thing, and I hate doing it, but I do think people should have a choice

[ornate rain]

I think moderators would be good for the game, they are used alot and they would only reduce recoil and muzzle flash

[ornate rain]

Definitely not as good as calling an animal in and taking it with a bow/pistol

[hidden quest]

The thing I hate the most about grinding is when people mix hunting and grinding together and give answers that are based on grinding when the question isn’t about grinding. Good grinding weapons go pew pew faster than average and has good power. Good hunting weapons on the other hand… are all of them, it depends on the player, the player is the limit.

[ornate rain]

I do think that alot of players should try properly hunting instead of just fast travelling to a lake and shooting everything, grinding is almost the norm compared to stalking and what not

[hidden quest]

Yep

[ornate rain]

I do grind, but I grind alot less hardcore, I'll probably only get 30 kills per day and the rest of the time I'm doing other stuff

I don't wanna burn out on one animal

But I do want a diamond elk still

[hidden quest]

I’m currently doing a grind for an Albino Gray Wolf, and I hate it, but unfortunately that’s the fastest way of getting one. However after this grind I’m NEVER doing a grind again

[ornate rain]

Yeah it's not for everyone

Wolf grinding must be hard too

[hidden quest]

The only hard thing about it is to keep going, I get at least 50 every day and so far I’ve killed 1750+

[ornate rain]

Woah, that's alot

How many common diamonds?

[hidden quest]

7

[ornate rain]

I've never grinded for a super rare, and I don't think I ever will

Seems alot alot alot of effort

And luck

[hidden quest]

I’m just grinding for an Albino, just the fur type

To complete an achievement

[ornate rain]

Damn

My friend grinded for an albino Red deer doe and got it within like 4 kills

1750 with no albino is crazy unlucky

[hidden quest]

Yep 😭

[empty shuttle]

solution: dont grind and enjoy what you like

[west bramble]

For sure --- If the grinding principle(FPS alike) takes preference on behalf of the irl hunting strategies moving forward - progressing the game, I intend to leave the platform.

[hidden quest]

that’s exactly what I’m going to do after I’ve gotten the Albino Gray Wolf lol

[hidden quest]

I’m certain that they will prioritize hunting when making new content, it is a hunting game after all, and I’m sure they’ll want to continue to develop the hunting. Grinding is just kind of a bi-product of how the game works. But I’m sure they’ll always focus on hunting.

[rancid pecan]

More like the albino was already there and he didnt notice him at first

[ornate rain]

Yep

[rancid pecan]

Initial spawn rares arent that rare, you just gotta hope your map's ones are of the species you like

[empty shuttle]

i got initial rares from 2/3 maps i bought

and one from population reset from my only reseted map

[midnight moon]

About grinding in COTW, Hence why I prefer classic Instead.

Is it still grinding? but at least every time I start a map Its an entirely new set of animals.

[potent bane]

I like the way we have the same animals on the reserve. Feels more realistic

[dreamy goblet]

True.-

But then again, everything else is more realistic in classic, lmao.

[hidden sundial]

Its nice for when you're hunting specific animals and want a change in scenery or dont like certain maps

[potent bane]

Yeah that's very true

I've tried classic and it's fun at times but I prefer playing cotw. Classic is more of a challenge and I like that, but I've played so much more cotw so I'm more used to the cotw mechanics.

[uneven bloom]

Classic is fun, but sometimes the daily missions can be. Infuriating. especially lynx ones

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, Daily Missions arent worth it honestly.

[stiff leaf]

let cashnip hunt lynx in classic

let him lose his mind

[dreamy goblet]

God no. Thats just, insanity.

Ive tried hunting Bobcat and Lynx in classic and its just infuriating at times ngl.

[hidden sundial]

I'd play classic more if the gear grind wasnt so rough

[dreamy goblet]

I think I spent a few hundred bucks on Classic, lmao. (In the span of like, two years or so)

Like, 250 bucks or so?

[hidden sundial]

I might wait for a good sale to get into it more

[dreamy goblet]

But, atleast, in classic, Shotguns are actually USEFUL.

[dreamy goblet]

You should get the 9.3x74R O/U if its on sale, because you can hunt bassically all big game animals with it.

[midnight moon]

£50 during Christmas sales for classic gets you about everything you would need.

[dreamy goblet]

And if you get the .17 HMR aswell as the 9.3x74R you can hunt EVERYTHIING.

[midnight moon]

If you want "extra nice gear"

That amount of ems (5k) during Christmas could buy 6-7 guns with still 1.5k+ left over.

[hidden sundial]

I dont need everything, just a good weapon, scope and callers tbh

[dreamy goblet]

Yea.

TBH, Either get the 9.3x74R O/U and .17 HMR or the Drilling if you wanna be fancy,

[midnight moon]

Bow, Crossbow, Big game rifle, Mid game, Small game, Tent/Stand + Calls is basic bitch setup

Midgame you start with? what would be the .243

[midnight moon]

And I guess I forgot shotguns but again, sorta do have one more a luxury item

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, Atleast shotguns in classic DO SOMETHING AND ARE USEFULL.

[midnight moon]

yup!

[dreamy goblet]

The Single Shot Shotgun is still the most fun in my oppinion.

[midnight moon]

Yess!

[dreamy goblet]

Still wish the 12GA Buckshot would do stuff in CoTW.

[midnight moon]

My only advice if your going to play classic, Dedicate one shotgun gauge to having Buckshot / slugs and every other one only use bird shot in

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, Classic had such nice weapons.

*has

[midnight moon]

I have every shotgun, and this is only two.

It takes up so much lifetime stat

[dreamy goblet]

Somebody that actually uses the 12GA SXS aswell? YAY.

TBH, I really like the 12GA Primal Pump, I got both Pump variants cause why not.

[midnight moon]

There's 14 additional (15, For the 16ga 9.3) stats In my lifetime stats because I've used Buckshot/Slugs in other shotguns.

[dreamy goblet]

Another cool thing about classic is that you actually get brand weapons, like the Blazer F3.

[glacial summit]

Yooo finland chat turns into classic

[midnight moon]

wooo

Isn't there supposed to be a stream today or no

That was yesterday?

[stiff leaf]

that was yesterday

[midnight moon]

I know but they said something about having streams on Wednesdays

[dreamy goblet]

Lmao, yea, that was unexpected for me aswell but eh.

[dreamy goblet]

Nah, its always Tuesdays.

[midnight moon]

Oh

Lmao I'm dumb as hell

[amber kiln]

It’s the community update on Wednesday

[round kite]

Idk if anyone noticed but that could be a teaser for a trail cam maybe
Or it's just so it looks better but who knows 🤩🤷

I just noticed that it could also be a radio because of the antenna lmao 😂

[midnight moon]

Or it could be a mission for the story just a thought

[unkempt condor]

Isn't that the camera for te aweroa missions?

[dreamy goblet]

The te-awaroa one looks different I believe.

[dreamy goblet]

Trail cams would be dope, like, setting them up and stuff, checking them later so you get an idea of the area.

[unkempt condor]

Would help a lot with GO grinding

You could plant them at zones to see if a GO is there

[dreamy goblet]

Yea.

And more realistic hunts in general.

It could help plan out hunts, etc.

[midnight moon]

So when do y'all think we'll get a realease date

[hidden quest]

if I had to guess, trailer in 2 weeks which contains the release date

[empty shuttle]

i think its very soon because its all nearly done

[midnight moon]

True true

No Community update today ?

[amber kiln]

My trail cam has an antenna, just means it’s a cellular trail cam

[acoustic elbow]

it's supposed to be out, but we got the developer diary the day before yesterday so who knows

[hidden quest]

yeah, they said it’s in the certification stage, but that can take a few weeks

[empty shuttle]

cant be that bad

[hidden quest]

oh it can

[amber kiln]

It is, Microsoft and Sony can take upwards of a month for update certification. Just depends

[hidden quest]

Sony and Microsoft can be… special

[exotic furnace]

Finland steam version is already ready to be released but just like graphics consoles holding us back with release dates too.

I wish they would just release the steam version already

[midnight moon]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they announce the steam version is coming out this weekend

[hidden quest]

I would be very surprised if that happened

[midnight moon]

But sadly It would not matter for me

Cause I'm a console player

[keen locust]

they'd only ship steam and console separate as a last resort

they had to do that with rancho and it still came out on steam like the last day of June

they really dragged their feet trying to get a sim ship

[empty shuttle]

i would be happy if that happened as a pc player

i would buy the dlc like 3 seconds after release

i have nothing against EWs decision about that though

they just want to treat everyone equally

wich is good

[vivid cosmos]

Won't happen, they said that they could release for steam already but that they are waiting

[mellow barn]

Just to be clear, Jaxy said "I don't know this." As in, he was speculating. 🙂

[rain valley]

Do we have a 12GA SxS?

[deft widget]

no we have a 20 ga SxS tho

in cotw

those stats are classic

[rain valley]

That's what I thought

[midnight moon]

No longer my fav mod 😞

[rain valley]

But for some reason the Finland chat turn into a Classic chat

[deft widget]

yea something aint right there lol

[midnight moon]

Call the ghostbusters

[deft widget]

ah yes that is who is needed at this exact moment in time

the models look soo good

[unkempt condor]

It comes out on Friday like it always does

It was only Wednesday for last week

[candid cliff]

I’m pretty sure they changed it to Wednesday

[unkempt condor]

They didn't

If they were posting on Wednesdays than they would have said they were permanently posting on Wednesdays

[potent bane]

Capercaillie hype

[unkempt condor]

Ptarmigan hype

[warm geode]

favourite species to hunt irl too so def 🤝

[candid cliff]

Duck and Goose hype

[warm geode]

i never enjoyed waterfowl

[potent bane]

I only hunt roe deer and pests like fox and badger but capercaillies is an inside joke between me and my friends so I'm really looking forward to them

[warm geode]

thanks for the pest control

around my area fox and raccoondogs are a real problem

[potent bane]

Yeah we have a bunch of badgers living under the barn and they're heckin annoying

[jade thicket]

haha one of my first diamonds i dont know why but i was obsessed with them for a good while. got two super rares of them as well. melanistic diamond and a leucistic diamond 😁

[stiff leaf]

How many super rares do you have

[candid cliff]

Is it on video for either of the kills

[stiff leaf]

cause the need to get 2 blackbuck supers means you might have an unparalleled level of masochism

[jade thicket]

i spent months hunting them

haha

got a soft spot for parque

[jade thicket]

probably 3 - 5 not sure without looking

[stiff leaf]

parque has led me to my "super rare", a diamond piebald muley. even though piebald was uncommon when i shot it

[jade thicket]

yeah i videod all my trophy animals

[candid cliff]

Ok could you tell me the name of video that has them. If you don’t mind

[unkempt condor]

Jaxy said they didn't pass certification

[jade thicket]

i honestly cant remember 😁

youd have to look through the videos i have over 1000+

[candid cliff]

I know that’s why I was hoping you knew the video name

[jade thicket]

sorry cant remember what its called

[candid cliff]

It’s alright time to start sifting to find it

[jade thicket]

i found the melanistic diamond one

dm it you

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN5cMQZaCaU

[candid cliff]

Ok I found the leu one as well. Thx

[jade thicket]

k

[unkempt condor]

Albino Blackbuck is one of yours isn't it?

[jade thicket]

i have albino black buck but the super rare ones are leucistic diamond and melanistic diamond

dunno if they were more common then than now

[unkempt condor]

Oh

[candid cliff]

Looking back at thumbnails from older videos to more recent ones you can see a lot improvement. Great Job

[jade thicket]

yeah truracs was a good addition

quite easy to grind as well

the big middle lake had some huge groups

[empty shuttle]

i love expensive worlds and i give them all my moneys

[tawdry nebula]

ok

[peak cedar]

everyone sleeping on that float blind coming to cotw. I wanna know how far it can be placed out in the water 😂

if it can be place far it would make hirsch go from one of the hardest maps to hunt, to one of the easiest 😄

[short wraith]

..do we have a date of release ?

[acoustic elbow]

no

[short wraith]

whyyyyy !!!!!!!!!

lol

[mighty dove]

Because the devs don’t even know when it will release yet

[short wraith]

[lunar crag]

nobody mentions the lil mountain hare

[peak cedar]

It was said on stream it's not even out for cert

so it's at least 2 weeks away

[terse girder]

Woman

[peak cedar]

and that's IF the specifications are met, because they've had updates turned away before

[terse girder]

Theyre cute

I’d smash

[vivid cosmos]

I'll take it, better late than all over the place

[peak cedar]

I just hope we get the update before we get to the point everything is discovered by EW

don't forget we also have a planned week of the update going to CCs first

[lunar crag]

yep

hopefully

I don't want everything to be spoiled

[peak cedar]

exactly

[glacial summit]

They are def gonna leak the GO doing this

[lunar crag]

fr

[peak cedar]

assuming it's on the map, maybe

[uneven bloom]

Yeah

with how many maps are getting reset this update, it could honestly be almost anything

[peak cedar]

I like the idea of giving us an early look, but I gotta say. I liked the idea of in game clues more

it was almost like it was shoved in out face more than we had time to think about what it was

[lunar crag]

exactly

ingame clues would've been so cool

[vivid cosmos]

Well I thought they where only going to do a single Duck Hunt

[amber kiln]

Actually jaxy said it was in certification

[peak cedar]

well that's misleading then because I know for a fact it was said it wasn;t

[amber kiln]

Nope, jaxy said two or three times yesterdays stream it was in certification

[sudden ginkgo]

dont need that being brought up in here, thanks

[lunar crag]

k

[amber kiln]

POV: you missed what was said 😳

[peak cedar]

I'll take your work for it, I just know what I heard, that's all

word*

[amber kiln]

It’s hard to keep up with everything he says. Who knows he might have said both things

[mellow barn]

He said it was waiting for certification and then later said he didn't think it had even gone in for certification yet.

[mighty dove]

It doesn’t help that people don’t listen half the time

Whether or not it’s in certification we still have to wait either way

[mellow barn]

It was a 2 hour stream so a lot was said and done. 🙂

[mighty dove]

Stream could be 5 minutes people will still get the info wrong

[mellow barn]

Maybe LOL

[mighty dove]

Or ask if the reserve is out yet

[mellow barn]

For sure!

[acoustic elbow]

or ask which species are gonna be in the map

[peak cedar]

very true, but it's hard to figure out what's going on half the time tbf 😂

I thought all maps besides SRP were being reset, patch notes says else. I get it's still early, but why add only a few of the reserves. Just the idea

[mellow barn]

Yeah, we already were told that all but SRP would be reset so I'm not sure why the list was not posted completely.

[mighty dove]

Think Meg said that the list is not 100% complete

[amber kiln]

I got waiting confused with thinking it was in certification. My bad

[quaint lintel]

Imagine SRP itself doesn't get a reset but all Mule zones do 👀

[lunar crag]

some cotw kids are out of control

[sudden ginkgo]

*90%

[tawdry nebula]

springbok

[lime locust]

i cant wait to hunt ptarmigans in HD, especially cause im crap at hunting them in classic

[dreamy goblet]

Hunting them in classic can be a pain, yes. BUt a challenging and fun pain. For some reason I shoot them better then Pheasants in classic but thats a different poinht.

point*

[quaint lintel]

Crazy, it's been almost 3 years ... 6 reserves ... and we still don't have the Australian map that everyone was talking about after Yukon lol

[tawdry nebula]

Next map will definitely be Australia or Africa 2.0 I am typing here

[dreamy goblet]

TBH, Australia would be cool.

I wish it was like a mix of Picabeen Bay and Outback from Classic. You could have so many neat species there. Sambar Deer, Rusa Deer, Hog Deer, Axis Deer, etc.

[ornate rain]

People have been talking about Africa 2.0 for years, that's what I'd like to see the most

[rose shard]

anyone down to hunt together

[empty shuttle]

#🦌︴find-a-game

[rose shard]

my b

[hidden quest]

People have been talking about Australia for even longer

[ornate rain]

Yeah but Africa because impala

[hidden quest]

I’m just saying that Australia has been requested longer than Africa 2.0. But yeah, another Africa map would be very nice

[ornate rain]

Ye they could make 3 more African maps and not run out of species

[hidden quest]

Ye, there’s a lot more to Africa than some people think

[ornate rain]

Yeah more than elephants, hippos and rhinos, which is what everyone seems to talk about

[hidden quest]

Exactly

[ornate rain]

I'm tryna hunt some impala, and cheetah and Greater kudu

[exotic furnace]

I'm shooting everything in sight lately.

[tawdry nebula]

All I want is impala and great kudu. That’s all what I ask

[fair jetty]

i prefer arab map with hyena, leopard, ibex,

[tawdry nebula]

An arab map will be cool, but most animals are endangered and protected

Especially arabian leopard

[fair jetty]

ye amaxing

a new dessert map

[peak cedar]

exactly, but any time you mention it people just say "it full of repeats, big lame" 😂

[dreamy goblet]

GIVE US FERAL CATS!

[peak cedar]

You could do essentially a Revontuli 2.0 with an Aussie map

[lunar crag]

Forest buffalo

[potent bane]

No but imagine servals

[fair jetty]

all diamonds across species have the same prob?

to appear

[midnight moon]

Incase you missed it…moose was included on the last poll, again. Not looking good for my brown bear.

[stiff leaf]

some are more likely to spawn than others

[fair jetty]

results?

[stoic tiger]

what poll is that?

I mean, where do they post those

[stiff leaf]

youtube

community tab

[stoic tiger]

Thank you.
Really tired of this "you have to follow every channel" attitude.

[sudden ginkgo]

It’s mostly for organization and cleanliness purposes. We’ve relaxed some of the rules regarding that in recent months tho

[mighty dove]

You don’t but some of us like to be nosy

(I’m certainly not one of those people)

[copper axle]

when will be the finland dlc out? i'm too lazy to google 😀

[stiff leaf]

soon™️

[uneven bloom]

The devs themselves don't even have a release date yet.

[midnight moon]

You mods should change the channel name to #finland-no-release-date

Then change it to the date when it’s announced.

[sudden ginkgo]

and even then we would still get people asking

[stiff leaf]

^

nobody. reads. things

[sudden ginkgo]

You could plaster it across the entire screen in 200pt bold font

And we would still get people asking

[fair jetty]

what have this game that i can play it for my entire life

[unkempt condor]

You should make an auto bot message for when someone says when release date it'll put up a message saying soon

Kind of like what happens when someone says species list

[subtle zephyr]

Upland Fowl:

• Capercaillie
• Willow Ptarmigan
• Black Grouse
• Hazel Grouse
• Rock Ptarmigan

Waterfowl:

• Golden-eye Duck
• Tufted Duck

Deer:

[hidden sundial]

Probably the most I've been looking forward to a map, bird huntings fun and a waterfowl rework will make it even better

[exotic furnace]

So what's the price going to be for this DLC?

[amber kiln]

$7.99

Same as all other maps

[exotic furnace]

That's dirt cheap.

But the funny thing is I spend more money on DLC then the original game

I only play COTW since a couple of weeks and highly addicted.

[agile mortar]

great to have you with us! glad your enjoying our game

[storm sphinx]

What the birb doin

[rancid pecan]

Pretty cool

[stiff leaf]

All I can say is take my money.

This map looks amazing.

[warm basin]

Where was the community update for yesterday?

It's not on the website

[midnight moon]

those are amazing

[agile mortar]

hahaha it really does though doesnt it? i cant tell you how stunned i was first time i learned of it. then to see it unfold. i cant wait to hear what you all think once you get your hands on it!

[agile mortar]

good question! they are all gone for the day. im assuming with everything going on it may have had a miss?

[quaint lintel]

Maybe it's gonna be Friday again?

[warm basin]

Perhaps they forgot they changed it to every wendesday

[mighty dove]

I thought they moved it to Friday

[unkempt condor]

Didn't they do it just for that week

They never said it was permanent

[unkempt condor]

Are they gonna permanently be on Wednesdays?

[unkempt condor]

Wednesday singular not Wednesdays which is would've been if they permanently changed it

But it was just for that week

[agile mortar]

ill look into it

[mighty dove]

So I completely read that message backwards

[fair jetty]

please add cats as a pet in the game

i dont like dogs

[stiff leaf]

#882552632793767966... but unless it has a useful functionality i dont really recommend putting that suggestion there

[warm basin]

The dog isn't meant to be a "pet"

[exotic furnace]

Why are dog treats 4k

[plain yoke]

Hyper inflation ... supply chain issues

[mighty dove]

Wrong message lol

[vivid cosmos]

Hmmm cats can't be trained to be used as tools, they aren't really that accurate and reliable. They can make cute tricks tho, but they don't great hunting partners

No hate on cats they just aren't wired to work in an organized pack

Except for the cats in Monster Hunter, those guys are tremendous hunting partners

[fair jetty]

haha yee

but it is a game

they can add any animal

imagine a husky

German shepherd

[hidden sundial]

Falconry would be interesting to see down the line

[fair jetty]

yeeee

but above all of this it is better to focus the effort in new species

huntable

[vivid cosmos]

Would certainly make me want to hunt the rabbits and hare species

Cause right now it's the most boring specie

[vivid cosmos]

Yeah but they want it to be as realistic as possible and ignoring spawning mechanics it is fairly realistic

[fair jetty]

to me it is so easy to grind, animals are so predictable, they have to do something with the drink zones like to be more random or something

[vivid cosmos]

Zones and hunting pressure are the other thing that are a realistic in concept but not on execution

[fair jetty]

something that pushes you to find new drink zones like they changing with some days

it is so hard to not go over and over to the same drink zones that they will appear again in the exact same place when hunting pressure is over

[vivid cosmos]

It's how grinding works

[agile mortar]

This would be such a cool addition. We had it on a survey a while back!

[kindred jetty]

The beach in Finland one hour after release...

[peak marlin]

Fax

[vivid cosmos]

Yes

[uneven bloom]

as someone who is a major raptor fan, THIS.

[kindred jetty]

Selfies after day one... I'm somewhere in there...

[fair jetty]

lets make grinding more challenging because sometimes could be like open sticker football envelops

because if you know the animals will be there there is little chances to spook them

[peak marlin]

That'd be super cool! Yes!!

[fair jetty]

i posted somethign in feedback

this i posted

what you think

the game is funnier when it is challenging

but we are wired to avoid challenge if we have a way to grind easier

so we have to make it harder

[vivid cosmos]

Super rare duck for every specie a few hours after the release

[fair jetty]

grinding is like pack openning cards in fifa

[kindred jetty]

Just remember to save your shells folks... maybe the Devs will let us make something out of it instead of leaving it laying about...

[sudden ginkgo]

Oh goodness

that’s certainly one way of doing it

[agile mortar]

They are biodegradable in game. Hence why you don't see them on the ground 🤣

[sudden ginkgo]

is brass biodegradable?

[agile mortar]

In game yes

Apperantly

[sudden ginkgo]

what about all the lead from the bullets?

[agile mortar]

[sudden ginkgo]

go duck hunting for a few hours in game and within a week the entire food chain has lead poisoning 🤣

[midnight moon]

I am pleasantly surprised that the pheasant shoot I attend you dont see shotgun shells everywhere

I guess the year break swallows them into the ground, shame about all the plastic.

Unless there smart and like... dont toss them I guess

[sudden ginkgo]

maybe that’s why the roe deer are so dumb 🤔

[midnight moon]

Still plastic going everywhere If you keep the shell or not pretty sure the wad is plastic and obviously is ejected.

[agile mortar]

When I actually get to hunt Roe's irl they better be as dumb or ill be disappointed 😞

[uneven bloom]

Female sika deer would like to have a word

[sudden ginkgo]

And moose cows

[uneven bloom]

I was legit walking right behind her for a few minutes

she never realized I was there

[midnight moon]

My doe stalk was driving up to a field, "Stalking" into the field and passing two does by 75 yards and only noticing them once we were 150 yards away, They are dumb and respond to calls really good.

[agile mortar]

Ok my faith has been restored

[midnight moon]

3 people In non camo clothing too. 🤣

[agile mortar]

Lolz

Sounds like fun

[sudden ginkgo]

Hey Beard, have you ever been moosed?

[agile mortar]

Heh

[midnight moon]

They are got to experience my first roe deer bark with that stalk, I bet would give you a fright if your up close to them when it happens.

[agile mortar]

That could be interpreted in many ways 🤣

[midnight moon]

Also a red deer wanted to race the jeep, because It wanted to cross the road we were going down

so It just ran with us, dumb things lol

[sudden ginkgo]

You are just running through the map and a moose lets out a warning call from <40m away from you and your ears start ringing (okay that last part is an exaggeration but it is really goddamn loud)

[agile mortar]

Oh.. yes. Many times 🤣

[fair jetty]

can the sound of the ATV be lower? because it hurt my ears

[agile mortar]

I've spent more time hunting my meese in game than anything else. Kinda obsessed

[midnight moon]

Pranced a 100 yards and just continued to eat again while watching us.

[sudden ginkgo]

the moose that do that to me usually don’t last more than a minute

[agile mortar]

Wow no concerns huh? Sounds a bit too easy 🤣

[midnight moon]

They respawn louder in the next update just for you.

[sudden ginkgo]

Electric ATV anyone?

[agile mortar]

Not that I'd complain, freezer must be filled!

[midnight moon]

The only issue Is they love the skyline they learned!

[agile mortar]

Diesel

[fair jetty]

ye plz, i have to lower the volume everytime i take a atv

[uneven bloom]

Horses!

[midnight moon]

Every roe buck I seen that day took off for the skyline Perhaps next time there still In season for a good bit.

[agile mortar]

Electric and gas scare everything irl. In our diesels we can drive almost right up to them. They are so desensitized to it from all the logging

[sudden ginkgo]

so basically what you’re saying is the outposts need to stock DEF at all times

[agile mortar]

Hahahaha

Yes!

[fair jetty]

to me it is not about scare or not, it is because hurt my ears

[agile mortar]

DEF is the only reason I kept my current truck so long. Didn't want to deal with it. Was bad enough half my excavators needed it. Such a pain!

[fair jetty]

it is so loud

[agile mortar]

Sorry, bit sensitive to that 🤣

[fair jetty]

do you play with headset?

[agile mortar]

Yup yup

[midnight moon]

Anything you plan to hunt asap once your over here Jaxy?

[agile mortar]

Fallow!

[midnight moon]

Fallow....

[agile mortar]

I'm told in sweden fallow and boar are great hunts

[midnight moon]

Go fallow confirmed.

[agile mortar]

And fallow is a dream hunt for me. Really what the reds but sounds like I need to travel a bit for that

[fair jetty]

ye add more mammals to the finland map plzzzz

[midnight moon]

I have considered Paying for a stalk for a buck for my 18th, There the closest yet most "exotic" species to me that Is very close.

Obviously Sika Is just a small red deer.

[fair jetty]

add fallow or feral goat to the finland map

[midnight moon]

Could drive the same distance for one but I may as well go for a fallow at that point, I have access to red deer and roe here.

[sudden ginkgo]

I will say a benefit of an electric ATV would be that INSTANT torque.

If we get electric ATV’s, can we get a plaid mode?

[agile mortar]

Tk went on a red deer hunt. Didn't cost him to much and you should see the racks!!! He's got a lvl 7 on the wall 🤣

[midnight moon]

I can’t control the gas ones.

[midnight moon]

Ah yes they are gonna rework the entire map

Chinese water deer and Muntjac are also high on my list but also CWD Is a 10+ hour drive from my house, Rather stay semi-local for now.

[agile mortar]

It's on his Meat Hunters channel if you haven't seen it. Is amazing

[languid wedge]

But you also need the weight and traction for the torque to work

[sudden ginkgo]

Batteries are heavy. There’s your solution

[languid wedge]

I wonder which one would actually weigh more a gas four wheeler or electric four wheeler

[sudden ginkgo]

Probably an electric for equivalent range

[languid wedge]

Because the electric would have smaller motors so you would lose weight there which the batteries would make up
