[agile mortar]

Those batteries are wild

[sudden ginkgo]

I need to test drive a model S plaid sometime

[agile mortar]

Would hate to be on one of those if they blew up...just sayin

[languid wedge]

Oh god goodbye legs

[jade thicket]

mean while on my horse 😁

[uneven bloom]

Horses! 🙏🏼

[languid wedge]

I would definitely want horses in the game before any kind of other motor vehicle

[agile mortar]

Giddie up!

[jade thicket]

horses or mules would be cool

[agile mortar]

I'd personally like a side by side for 4

[fair jetty]

at the end no one use ATV because are too loudy for you and for the animals

[uneven bloom]

most of the old hunting games I played had a horse as a vehicle option

[languid wedge]

Yessss

[sudden ginkgo]

reject ICE, reject electric, embrace steam power

[uneven bloom]

Quietest, but also slower than the other options

also the most expensive

[sudden ginkgo]

Tandem seat ATV would be nice

[midnight moon]

Skip horses. Donkey is the way to go.

[jade thicket]

donkies mules yeah

[languid wedge]

EHONK

[sudden ginkgo]

Anyways Finland

[fair jetty]

a map in india where you hunt on elephants

[jade thicket]

they are also good guard dogs

[languid wedge]

Use donkeys for coyote hunting

[sudden ginkgo]

I need to clear out some of my XS stands to make room for all the fowl that’s gonna come with the Finland map

[jade thicket]

you got wildstock get a donkey mule in there

[sudden ginkgo]

Aight I gtg now. Cya

[languid wedge]

Orrr make new lodge

[agile mortar]

Be safe cash

[jade thicket]

will shoot a lynx for ya

[languid wedge]

Having a horse and then like a pack mule behind would be fun to go riding around

[fair jetty]

lot of people have million in cash ingame and dont know what to buy

[agile mortar]

I tell ya I was shocked to find that dime lynx last stream. Thought of cash right away 🤣

[fair jetty]

there is not much to spend the money

[jade thicket]

haha it was funny

finland could be the new go to map for lynx

[fair jetty]

it seemed to be arranged

xd

[languid wedge]

Tax animals and hell of a lot of tents and stands

[agile mortar]

Ya I think it will be. Better shooting lanes

[fair jetty]

i tax only diamonds and rares

[languid wedge]

32 stands or tripods are Max permap right?

[agile mortar]

Yes

But almost 1600 decoys! Just wild

Still won't be enough 🤣

[languid wedge]

You can spend 61 million in game dollars to have all the maps maxed out on tripods and stands

[agile mortar]

Oh wow. Never did that math

[midnight moon]

Holy. I have a long way to go for that.

[agile mortar]

That's alot of geese to pay out!

[midnight moon]

I’m at like 100k rn. Lol. Pathetic.

[fair jetty]

tripods are not needed

animals dont spook easy enough

[quaint lintel]

I'm curious how the geese hunting will be on Hirshchfelden after the update

[agile mortar]

I've got a buddy that has cracked 60 mil... it's doable. No life but doable! 🤣

[languid wedge]

Zone ruining

Prevents that from happening

[fair jetty]

and hunter pressure go easy and the drink zone will appear in the same place

[languid wedge]

Feed and rest won't tho

[fair jetty]

it is not worrying delete drink zones

[agile mortar]

From what I've seen so far they are much better using zones. Feels like a big improvement

Love that you can find them on the ground

[fair jetty]

ye that is a big improvement

[agile mortar]

Big time

[languid wedge]

Wait per map?

[agile mortar]

Yup

[midnight moon]

I’m excited to try the boat blinds for GO grinding. Hunting coastlines is frustrating sometimes.

[languid wedge]

Wow

[jade thicket]

if you went full sweat you could earn lots. i done 2 million in a day

[midnight moon]

Be so awesome to get out on the water.

[agile mortar]

It's a decoy species limit. Map taps out around 1600

[languid wedge]

Wasn't it like 200 or 250 before

[jade thicket]

blind boats look great fun. mp with mates waterfowl hunting gunna be a laugh

[agile mortar]

Ya my buddy has been obsessed with Reds since launch. I'd bet 80% of his $$$ came from them

[agile mortar]

Well it was never disclosed before. But we only had the one species per map so it was deceiving

[midnight moon]

I need to get on red deer.

[agile mortar]

They are such a fun hunt man

I was frustrated with them for years as I couldn't pop that bubble. Just got trolled every.single.time. it was the one species that really gave it to me. Thats changed now thankfully lol

[fair jetty]

red deer racks are the best of the game for me

[midnight moon]

Look it. It’s time to figure them out. I have brown bear scienced and getting close to calling WT scienced.

Hoping I’m still right and I didn’t waste time figuring out the bears. Lol.

[agile mortar]

Hahaha

[midnight moon]

You all keep throwing moose references out there. Killing my confidence.

[agile mortar]

Honestly bush you sound like me 4 years ago. I was obsessed with figuring everything out

[agile mortar]

I don't know what your talking about 😇

[midnight moon]

I’m deep into the research and data.

[jade thicket]

i do species at a time master that then on to the next. its good to learn all aspects

[fair jetty]

are you a developer?

[midnight moon]

I do data science for work Ron. You’re speaking my language.

One at a time and learn them inside and out.

[agile mortar]

I'm a community manager. I don't code the game just work with the team

Don't think I could be a coder. I see what they go through.

Much respect

[fair jetty]

nice so you know everything

[agile mortar]

But we all work together. It's a pleasure being a part of it all now. A year ago I was a creator still!

Hehe ya I've seen behind the curtain.

[midnight moon]

Brain full of knowledge. Lips zip tied shut.

[agile mortar]

That's the challenge bush lol

[exotic furnace]

Jaxy you're awesome man I love your energy!

[agile mortar]

I always have to check myself so I don't screw up hahaha

[agile mortar]

Thank you my friend! You rock!!

[fair jetty]

ye you have good vibes

[midnight moon]

So…just putting this out there…I’m thinking the GO mmmiiiigghhhhhttttt be a good ending to missions on Finland. How do you feel about that?

[fair jetty]

noo plz, a GO cant be a mission, it should be harder

[midnight moon]

Lol. Keep the envelope sealed.

[jade thicket]

id like some story missions but no with a go in a mission

[midnight moon]

Yea I get that a lot when I say it.

[fair jetty]

i think a lot of people do the missions withouth paying attention to the story sadly

[agile mortar]

I'd like to see more missions...even though I don't really do them. But listening to the community I think there is a place for them! A GO behind a mission though... idk tbh.

[midnight moon]

I disagree a bit but I can totally understand why people wouldn’t want it

[fair jetty]

so it is better to focus in other things like having more animals

[hidden sundial]

I miss the side missions tbh, they gave fun challenges outside of diamonds and rares

[agile mortar]

So consider this, and I'm not saying it will stay this way but, both GO'S we currently have are on vanilla maps as well as DLC's. We're we to put one behind a dlc story line that would kind of be a pay wall

[fair jetty]

but when you have million of money and reached lvl 60 years ago they dont give you a reward

[hidden sundial]

yeah they could do with more stuff like weapon skins that some missions have

[agile mortar]

It's a tough spot with the missions. If we had twice the size of team we could do both! As is we have to really choose where the time and energies get used. It goes back to the survey held asking about missions. The vast majority stated they didn't do them. So it was decided to spend the time to work on new features and species. Would be nice to have the best of both worlds though I get it

[midnight moon]

How many people are on the team?

[fair jetty]

ye ye give us more species not storylines

[hidden sundial]

Hopefully the hunters club missions start working at some point as a decent compromise

[agile mortar]

We dont reveal that only because of competitors. It's not that many

[midnight moon]

Ahh I see

[uneven bloom]

quantity =/= quality

[midnight moon]

Is ther plans to add anymore to the team when needed though?

[agile mortar]

That is always the goal! Just depends on the success of the game really

Covid really hurt us

[midnight moon]

Awe.

[uneven bloom]

...uh. Huh. I think I just found a fun little bug on Acres

[agile mortar]

A it did most companies

Didn't meant that to sound wrong. We're solid! The team is amazing and very talented from all that I've seen

[fair jetty]

plz no more north american maps

[amber kiln]

What is it 👀

[fair jetty]

the existing ones are amazing

but it would be exciting explore other landscapes 🙂

[uneven bloom]

WT sharing a rest zone with gators...except it's a drink zone for the deer.

[mellow barn]

https://tenor.com/view/trap-its-a-trap-star-wars-admiral-ackbar-gif-5740548

[fair jetty]

the populatoin in awaroa will be more mixed between zones / species?

[amber kiln]

I had that issue on my first go around with missi. I had a lvl deer but kept getting spooked by the gator zone lol

[agile mortar]

many animals share zones to limit the amount of zones shown. home ranges overlap

[fair jetty]

maybe it is just me

when i see chamois

hahah

[quaint lintel]

Trying to buy all those 1600 decoys when Revontuli is released lol

[languid wedge]

Hmm I don't think I'll need that many

I only need one 40 per bird species then take out Mallard and Canadian goose

[lunar crag]

I’ll find out myself then

[quaint lintel]

Point is ... we're going bankrupt regardless 😂

[lunar crag]

(Joke)

[lunar crag]

True but they lower hunting pressure

That’s their only purpose basically

[mighty dove]

^

[languid wedge]

Yup I'm going to finally have to buy some teal decoys but luckily I have the other three pretty well sorted out

[mighty dove]

I use tripods for 2 reasons: less pressure and a higher vantage point

[fair jetty]

going to drink zones at the right time is so easy

hunting pressure is not worrying

[mighty dove]

You can kill more animals and use up less pressure

[fair jetty]

because drink zones appear in the same place

when they comeback

[languid wedge]

You do know though there's more than just drink zones right? As well

[lunar crag]

Who said I want to only hunt drink zones

[lunar crag]

Fr

I wanna hunt feedzones but too lazy to motivate myself to find them

Medved should completely rid of drinkzones

[languid wedge]

Like besides puma and black bear drink zones are nearly useless on srp

Oh and Mt goat

[lunar crag]

Why tf are the animals licking ice on medved

[fair jetty]

in other maps the animals lick the ground

not even the water

[quaint lintel]

I once seen an animal drinking while being completely under the water

[lunar crag]

Atleast it’s actually drinking water and not dirt

[languid wedge]

Yeah now they are just drowning

[quaint lintel]

Yea, while drowning at the same time lol

[lunar crag]

Who said it’s breathing

It could be holding its breath for four hours

[quaint lintel]

I understand them tho ... rather drown themselves then live in a reserve where death is inevitable

[lunar crag]

Also, why do animals take like 4 hours to hydrate

[languid wedge]

Maybe the animals have developed gills we can't see them

[lunar crag]

We need a rod

[fair jetty]

DRINK zones make the game too esay

[quaint lintel]

They've seen generations slaughtered by us

[fair jetty]

easy

lets make drink zones harder by rotate them or making them appear and dissapear with the time

[quaint lintel]

There are animals irl that drink for hours, camels for example, but not every animal, so drink zones in theory should be shorter lol

[uneven bloom]

I think that's why they removed drink zones for European hares, jackals, springbok, and soon to be chamois and lynx

[languid wedge]

Lynx and jackals need 4 1 hour drink times throughout the day especially with them being carnivores

[quaint lintel]

Yea, that's the complete opposite ... instead of having drink zones for 5 hours or 0 hours ... they should just be 15-30 min max

[fair jetty]

nice, drink zones should be redesigner

[uneven bloom]

Travel time between zones though.

15-30 minute zone times, they'd never even make it there.

[fair jetty]

grinding is like a pack opening of fifa, no challenge

[uneven bloom]

I suggest trying Classic.

[quaint lintel]

Fast travel is not realistic anyways lol

[fair jetty]

with the drink zones, there is no point to use callers and to explore

[quaint lintel]

Irl, you don't appear from spot to spot miles away in a minute

[languid wedge]

Classic is fun it's not too hard and not too easy

[fair jetty]

i think are just the drink zones that ruins the difficulty

[uneven bloom]

Classic doesn't have need zones at all.

[midnight moon]

Classic Is easy if you have patience or are fine with dropping a bit of money at the start.

And considering you guys pay about £30 per year on COTW to buy all DLCs, i dont think £30 on classic Is unreasonable.

[languid wedge]

It just more relies on having knowledge of what animals normally do and patients

[fair jetty]

a change could be the animals h ave 6 hours to go to the water but they only stay for 15 min each animal and not all together

[ornate rain]

Unless you use callers and explore

That may be an idea

[midnight moon]

Classic animal population also changes every time you launch a map.

[fair jetty]

I cant play old graphics having cotw

[uneven bloom]

That's your loss then. You're legitimately describing Classic, and what you're asking for COTW would involve recoding the entire game.

[midnight moon]

That's just a sad requirement to have tbh.

[ornate rain]

Lol

You don't have to use the zones

You can sit in a Bush with a bow and call

It's fun

[languid wedge]

What I think would be more fun is if animals had completely random zone timed

[midnight moon]

Classic does not even look bad, It has quality animal models and really lovely environment even when Its 10+ years old It still stands up versus other games of said age.

[ornate rain]

I would play classic if I had a PC, it's kinda just a whole different game and brother to cotw, instead of a predecessor

[fair jetty]

i dont know how classic is, i am thinking new ways to make cotw funnier and challenging

[midnight moon]

But that Is not the direction COTW wants to go, It wants to play to the most amount of people what is Kids with not a lot of patience.

[fair jetty]

ye sure is a great game

[fair jetty]

thats the opposite, drink zones doesnt required patience

it is just travel kill travel kill

[midnight moon]

Majority of the people want a game they can shoot animals every couple minutes, unlike classic where It can be a few hours.

[ornate rain]

Then don't use them.......

[languid wedge]

It's only like that is if you're grinding

What you do is pick a Outpost place a point and walk from one point to the other it's a great little thing to do and have something different to do

[ornate rain]

Exactly

[midnight moon]

Also I know great ones aren't really one for Impatient kids, But Its just the same idea as the diamonds pre-africa way more rarer back then but boosted it to make the game "better"

[fair jetty]

YE

[midnight moon]

Thing is you cant exactly have not use needzones, because an animal will always use them too bad there's no deadzone times In the game.

[fair jetty]

ye sure

[languid wedge]

And at the beginning if you want a map to last a little bit longer for adventuring start out with not opening any watchtowers so the whole map stays black and then the adventure around discovering outposts and points of interest and stuff

[fair jetty]

need zones are amazing to have

[fair jetty]

true

i am happy with the need zone system

i am only saying about a way to improve the drink zones only

[ornate rain]

Lol

[fair jetty]

i use them because i want diamonds and rares , other days i dont use it

[midnight moon]

Not to deviate away from COTW, But a thing that Is enjoyble about classic Is its all about experience? with no needzones I need to learn the map.. and well I'm checking out my dall sheep hot spot right now...

[fair jetty]

but it is hard to avoid when you want to kill a lot of animals

[midnight moon]

And one singular Sikta deer in the background lol

[fair jetty]

NICE

i mean i cant avoid to use the easier way to get diamonds and rares when i know there is an easier way

[midnight moon]

Pretty much, hence why I like the no needzone model off classic, But too late for COTW to go that now.

unless they were to add a hard mode ig.

[fair jetty]

i like the need zones but i could change the drink zones only

not to remove them but to make it less predictable

[uneven bloom]

Which they can't.

All need zones are built on the same coding, which the entire game is built around.

[fair jetty]

hmmm

i didnt know

thanks

[midnight moon]

Yup animals dont even have random roaming behavior Its always tied into "get to need zone" too.

[fair jetty]

i like to think how the game could be better but i love it as it is

[midnight moon]

If you can ever get path the dated graphics I would give classic a shot lots of people play both, even Lyra lol.

[uneven bloom]

honestly Classic's graphics remind me of DH5

[fair jetty]

Ye i have to try classic

[uneven bloom]

big kick in the nostalgia, that

[fair jetty]

i have seen very cool animals

in classic

[midnight moon]

Rares and trophies are much more rewarding and then the leaderboards and comps are a nice addition too.

[fair jetty]

NICE

ye i have to try

[languid wedge]

It gives me memories of hunting unlimited 3 is a fun little thing with me about it

And just old hunting games from childhood

I would really love with more hunting games coming out would possibly bring Cabela's out of the works

[fair jetty]

the way this game is taking is amazing 19 species map i hope it will be repeated 😄

imagine the future

[languid wedge]

I seriously doubt we'll ever get a map with this many again but I definitely do see 10 plus in the future for a couple more maps

[fair jetty]

9-12 species

it is fine

[languid wedge]

I see Africa 2.0 and northeast us having 10+

[uneven bloom]

oooooh, that's what they could do for an NE US map

American duck species

[languid wedge]

And squirrels and possums

Groundhogs

[uneven bloom]

American black duck, wood duck, canvasbacks

[languid wedge]

Oh! And doves

[uneven bloom]

possibly pheasant as well

I know we have pheasant because I actually saw one IRL one morning

[mighty dove]

Give me those damn beavers

[languid wedge]

Yeeesssss

[uneven bloom]

oh, beavers, we have.

[mighty dove]

They keep felling my tripods I just want to have a chat with’em 🤌

[languid wedge]

A New England map would be pretty cool

[fair jetty]

i want africa 2.0. middle east map. asian map.

or south american map with native species

[languid wedge]

Gadwalls and whistling ducks and snow geese if they don't get added to Northern Canada

I'm just in the part of hoping and praying Northern Canada is the next month

[uneven bloom]

afaik the only place where sport hunting is a thing in Asia is Japan

pretty illegal everywhere else

outright taboo in India

[fair jetty]

wow i didnt know

[languid wedge]

If I'm correct that's mainly why your more Indian species of animals are in different places the world for that exact reason to be hunted

[glacial summit]

That will likely never happen due to the fact hunting is illegal/highly restricted for native species in most of sa

[glacial summit]

Mid Asian countries like Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and a few others profit from sport hunting, although its more of a tourism thing as almost none of the countries residents hunt for sport

[uneven bloom]

Interesting

[glacial summit]

All be it in some of the stans there is still some sport hunting by residents.

The few that aren’t extremely poor

[tawny bane]

Has Microsoft givin ew the go

[uneven bloom]

Still no release date, if that's what you're asking

[tawny bane]

No it’s just like has Microsoft said yes to the update

[ashen pine]

We don't know If It passed certification already

[mighty dove]

We won’t know until they give us a release date

[tawdry nebula]

Are they going to complete reset for cuatro?

[tawny bane]

Yes

And ok thank you for the help

[tawdry nebula]

I know there are reset for all maps except srp, but is it completely for all animals and zones?

[uneven bloom]

afaik, yes.

[mighty dove]

I hope my Layton zones get wiped

They didn’t last time

[agile mortar]

Layton and most maps are getting a fair bit of work done to them. So don't worry, it's getting some love!

[stiff leaf]

ooh thats some news

[kindred jetty]

When are ya gonna drop the REAL news on them??

[agile mortar]

I'm still trying to convince them the earth isn't flat 😇

[mighty dove]

I just have a million zones that no matter how I try to delete it seems they reappear lol

[agile mortar]

Isn't that a quality problem??

Normally I hear that people can't find zones 🤣

[mighty dove]

It’s the rabbits 😭

[stiff leaf]

go tell those people to find an animal in classic

[agile mortar]

Oh rabbits... I feel that

I've never been able to get on the rabbit hunts. I know some love them! Not taking that away, just isn't my thing in game. Although irl they taste great! 🤣

[uneven bloom]

I'm just hoping the tree hitboxes on Revontuli are less evil than the ones on Acres

[agile mortar]

I was shooting through some tight spots last stream. Seemed ok

[mighty dove]

They are so fun to shoot with the .22 but every time I walk I hear their thumping and I want to fling them into one of the lakes to get them to quit it

[uneven bloom]

This one spot specifically.

is EVIL.

[agile mortar]

Hunting them in a tripod at their burrows is fun!

[mighty dove]

Hirsch is glorious for those burrows

[agile mortar]

Mmhmm

[mighty dove]

Tree said no shoot for you today

[agile mortar]

And female diamonds. So they aren't all bad 🤣

[warm basin]

All the past layton resets didn't delete any of my zones so I have 5 years worth of old layton zones and my layton runs at like 20 frames and it takes 15s to open my map😭

[mighty dove]

Same

[agile mortar]

Ouch

[mighty dove]

I want a complete wipe. Delete everything except for my tents and tripods so I can start anew

[warm basin]

^

[mighty dove]

I know now not to get every rabbit zone that I come across

[agile mortar]

That's strange to hear tbh. Mines reset 🤔

[warm basin]

I loved the changes to cautro my game never crashes and I get great frames

[mighty dove]

Cuatro has become one of my favorite reserves

[agile mortar]

Just wait till you have the new reflections!!! Way better frames just from that!

[mighty dove]

Give us Revontuli and we will 👏

[agile mortar]

Hehe

[mighty dove]

😎

[agile mortar]

Well based off previous years releases you know it's around this time. So we're close!

But I don't even have a date yet

[warm basin]

Indeed let's just hope it doesn't go as previous old releases for console 😭

Mississpi was great tho

[kindred jetty]

😿

[warm basin]

I normally don't care about delays but having pc get first chance at the new GO of it gets delayed would suck

[agile mortar]

We've been good for Sim ships for a bit now thankfully. Unless something out of our hands happens we should be golden

[agile mortar]

We 100% get that.

[peak cedar]

I don’t really care for GOs tbh

[warm basin]

Did u ever get an update on the community update thing

[languid wedge]

The wide fork trees on TA where you can see half a red deer though them are as if if not more evil like if the deer could walk though it if it wanted please let my bullet go though it

[agile mortar]

They were all gone for the day

[stiff leaf]

I wonder how many updates it takes for a non-DLC overhaul (bug fixes, animal looks, aesthetic improvements) as the big june/december update

[limber cliff]

Idk but I’d love that kind of update

[vapid garden]

yesssss pls

[inland night]

They should add a symbol to animals that need to be shot in the air.

[quasi holly]

when is this damn dlc coming out i need to massacre those new geese

[glacial summit]

No release date yet

[quaint lintel]

Maybe it says in the spotting info that it needs to be shot in the air, that's a really good idea, write it in #882552632793767966 chat

[languid wedge]

I estimate between now and Christmas

[midnight moon]

It's coming out whenever it would like to

[sudden ginkgo]

sometime between now and the heat death of the universe

[glacial summit]

I would like for the second part to come quickly

[kindred jetty]

I don't know bud... as many homeless folk that believe the end is nigh... eventually one of the is gonna be right...

[languid wedge]

[jovial nymph]

We got a realise date yet?

[exotic furnace]

Honestly Hirschfelden is amazing people really don't like this? You can farm goose there and because of it you'll remove hunting pressure on other rest/water zones!

I love how immersive Hirschfelden is, it feels like IRL hunting.

[vernal jackal]

20.04.2042

[midnight moon]

@jovial nymph 21/06/22 👀

[digital field]

for real?

[empty shuttle]

is it just me or hirschfelden feels bigger than other maps because of how thick and bushy it is?

[fair jetty]

I think is the biggest

[empty shuttle]

but

all maps same size

[fair jetty]

sure?

to me hirs is huge

[empty shuttle]

probably bc thic

[fair jetty]

i think vurhonga is tiny

and

hirs is large

[empty shuttle]

vurhonga tiny bc its all plains

see why

[lament oracle]

Can someone pls tell me y i Cant find the 470 on My playstation cotw

[empty shuttle]

do u have vurhonga dlc

[fair jetty]

mee?

[empty shuttle]

not u

[uneven bloom]

If you don't have the Vurhonga DLC, that's why.

[lament oracle]

I do have the vurhonga

[uneven bloom]

It should be under "rifles" in the store then

if not, #📜︴support

[sudden ginkgo]

Soon™️

[lunar crag]

Hirschfelden is one of the best maps

[potent bane]

Yes

Especially as someone from South Sweden, really looks like it does here

[fair jetty]

best map after the release: revonluti coast, yukon valley, cuatro colinas, silver ridge peaks

special mention to medved

[jade thicket]

dreams of wolverine on medved at some point

[sudden ginkgo]

I wouldn’t say that, but I feel it gets more hate than it deserves

[jade thicket]

just been on medved doing video 😁

[fair jetty]

medved is amazing

[sudden ginkgo]

Medved is a chill map

[midnight moon]

i really like medved. hadnt played it much until this month. trying to learn the brown bears. the map, though, is really well done.

[mossy atlas]

How prepared is everyone for Finland? I have 16 tents, 12 duck blinds, 8 tripods and a few tree stands ready to go and a couple hundred K ready to buy the new callers and water blinds/decoys

[mossy atlas]

Yeah it's pretty cool :P

[jade thicket]

new map you normally need 250000 plus to outfit

so maybe a geese bashing 😁

[vivid cosmos]

Did Jaxy said that Layton is getting some work done to it?

[uneven bloom]

Yup, because mallards.

[uneven bloom]

same with Hirsch having geese

both have to get redone to go with the waterfowl rework

[vivid cosmos]

Ah yeah duh, that's why they are getting a reset, makes sense

[sudden ginkgo]

16 tents and 560k in the bank. Gonna hold off on blinds until the map drops cuz I want to try the boat blinds

[vivid cosmos]

I have never hunted on a boat blind before I actually don't even hunt waterfowl on blind I just hide in bushes IRL for geese I cover myself with dead brush or I disguise myself as a goose and crouch inside of the spread

I do use the coffin blind in game tho

[sudden ginkgo]

Apparently with the rework, waterfowl will land into the wind (i.e. into a headwind). So you can more strategically place your blinds to take advantage of the wind direction

[vivid cosmos]

That is cool, I thought they already did that

Well all my setups are heading with the wind in face

[jade thicket]

hmm.. maybe a day goose grinding to make sure go enough cash 😁

8 different waterfowl species

8 set ups and the tents

quick question, do we know anything about the potential release date of this DLC yet?

[plain yoke]

[whole harness]

Tyty

[midnight moon]

I still wanna see the mountain hare

[glacial tangle]

are these animals huntable in finland?
they are all new except for someone already seen, mostly they are aquatic animals and birds

the release date still nothing?

[uneven bloom]

Those are the animals on the upcoming map, yes.

and no release date yet.

[cinder copper]

The update was kinda short nothing going in-depth sadly

[mighty dove]

No

Oh

My discord did not update correctly

[agile mortar]

yes it is. not just involving the ducks though. home ranges are getting a make over on the reserves as there are some major improvements.

[mighty dove]

Don’t mind me and my really late response to a message that’s now 100 above

[vivid cosmos]

Nice nice nice

[warm basin]

Do u think it will help with the Bush whitetails

[vivid cosmos]

The what?

Coues on rancho I'm still waiting (JK)

[candid cliff]

They are a subspecies of whitetail so I doubt they would be added on top of the regular whitetail species

[quaint lintel]

Imagine we don't get a trailer this coming Tuesday too 💀

[uneven bloom]

Wouldn't surprise me tbh

[mighty dove]

I am not getting my hopes up

I’ve gotten my hopes for the last three streams and every time I come out disappointed

[warm basin]

We might get a trailer but i doubt we get the date

[glacial summit]

I think it just releases

no trailer

no release date

I mean imagine when little timmy shows up after his 8:00 a.m. choccy milk to ask for the release date and the map is out

[agile mortar]

bless little timmy

[glacial summit]

Little timmy would probably pour himself another glass of the choccy to celebrate

[mighty dove]

God bless little timmy and his choccy milk

[hidden sundial]

Really hope a retriever dog is a priority after Finland, with the dedicated map and waterfowl rework it'd get alot more use than before

[glacial summit]

And cashnip would poor another glass of jack daniels as he prepares to confirm that the map indeed is out

[agile mortar]

[glacial summit]

Or whatever he drinks

[uneven bloom]

tfw looking at duck hybrids leads you this lovely little birdie

Baikal teal

if we ever get a Japan map I'd love to see these guys 🙏🏼

[amber kiln]

I love those! I’m getting a pair of them next year, just gotta get the pen ready before then

I’m also getting cinnamons, Canada geese,wood ducks, tufts, and black bellied tree ducks. (I’m going to be broke lol

[jade thicket]

its cool having birds. we had chicken ducks geese

turkeys are actually funny buy quite aggressive to each other

[tawny bane]

Release date yet

[mighty dove]

No

For like the 1000th time

[unkempt condor]

No

They need to get certification on Xbox because they want to release the dlc at the same time on all platforms

From what I heard they could release it on pc and ps4 rn if they wanted to

[midnight moon]

i dont think thats true. i think jaxy just mentioned they need to pass certification. probably could be ready for PC since there is no cert, but ready for ps4 - i dont think thats something that was said.

[unkempt condor]

Just some rumors I heard floating about

[midnight moon]

if i had to guess they are probably working on compression. this is a huge update and im sure they need to get the download size down either to pass cert or to be good for console players to download, but i have no clue...just pure speculation.

[mighty dove]

Don’t listen to rumors

[tawny bane]

Ok

[unkempt condor]

hopefully thats what there working on

[stiff leaf]

they're*

[unkempt condor]

But jaxy said the main reason is because they need certification

[midnight moon]

i could only assume. especially if jaxy is saying he thinks its ready for pc. would surprise me if they were still working on bugs. im just assuming its compression.

[unkempt condor]

Fixed it

[midnight moon]

the last update was like 30ish gb for some people and that was just the apex system. with everything coming - the waterfowl - all the maps - bug fixes and such...im sure the download size is quite substantial. id have to guess this would be part of the cert - compressing the download.

again - i dont know anything more than anyone else...just purely my speculation.

[deft widget]

didnt i read that these were in finland idk maybe im wrong

[unkempt condor]

I still think its getting certification because that's what Jaxy said

[uneven bloom]

Finland's going to have Eurasian teal

[static estuary]

i can never kill a moose

to bulky

[uneven bloom]

What weapon are you trying to use on them?

[static estuary]

7m

[uneven bloom]

Yeah that one's a bit underpowered for the bigger animals

you want to be using either the .338 or the .300 (if you have Yukon)

[static estuary]

oh alr thanks

[hidden sundial]

7mm should be able to take em down decently fast but you'll need to be closer than usual

[coarse lintel]

Or muzzleloader, that's a great weapon for moose

[ornate rain]

Is it?

[coarse lintel]

Yeah if your at like 150m broadside it can get 100% quick kill with double lung

[ornate rain]

150m?

With the muzzle loader?

It's not hard but its less than optimal

[warm basin]

It has a 150 zero ull be fine

[ornate rain]

I don't believe it does

[coarse lintel]

the minié ball has 100 150 and 200 as the zeroing

[lime locust]

did anyone see the yt poll where one of the options was “Moooooose”?

[ornate rain]

Ohhhh really I only use the smaller ammo

That's interesting

[midnight moon]

wait this is all the new animals???

[warm basin]

Yep

[midnight moon]

all that!?!?

that is insaneee

but wait what about the dlcs, will you need different dlcs for all those animals?

[warm basin]

Finland

[midnight moon]

but will you need like eurasian teal duck dlc or a tundra bean goose dlc that will have good stuff for hunting them

[warm basin]

Finland has all the equipment yull need

[midnight moon]

i love hunting the ducks but idk bc i have kinda been getting bored on cotw same thing over nothing to discover bc i know almost everything

😦

[warm basin]

There's always new things to learn

[coarse lintel]

For the new species yes. As for mallards and Canada geese not sure if you'll need duck and cover/ wild goose or if they'll combine those with the map

[midnight moon]

like what

i shoot the same thing

[warm basin]

Do u have all the diamonds

[midnight moon]

no

[warm basin]

Then ur not done

[midnight moon]

but it is not the excitement it used to be

[warm basin]

Do u grind single?

[midnight moon]

not really

just play it

but finding a diamond seems trickier and not the excitement it used to be

specially since i got trolled by a bear 😦

i just want to find someone fun to play with to give me some inspiration

[mighty dove]

What would make it more inspiring?

[midnight moon]

just like someone who actually knows the game

bc the only people ive played with are new people that dunno how to play and i got to teach them

it just sucks because they are always so confused and annoying, how do this how do that, just learn like i did and play

[warm basin]

I just play a shit ton of single player grinding my life away working on my lodge

[deft widget]

yea but those are just green wings i wish those were in that map too

[glacial summit]

[tawdry wing]

now cashleaf can scientifically take exact counts of the drinks to take

[dreamy goblet]

Jawohl.

[tawdry nebula]

Lol

[full shard]

Will duck callers be added for the various species/

similar to the duck callers of theHunter Classic?

[tawdry nebula]

Yes

[coarse lintel]

New callers for each species yes, every type of caller no. Its gonna be 1 caller for each ( except tufted and goldeneye might not have any unless jaxy just forgot to equip them )

so its more simple then classics

[tawdry nebula]

All waterfowl callers ^

[quaint lintel]

The bot will overload if I say: "What's the spec1es list on the new map that doesn't have a r3lease date yet?" xD

[tawdry nebula]

What’s is the species list on the new map that’s doesn’t have release date yet?

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[quaint lintel]

Hmm, so I guess it only responds to the last key word that's at the end of the sentence ... let's try it reversed.
The new map that doesn't have a release date yet, what's the species list again?

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[quaint lintel]

Nope, still responds to "r3lease date" ... 🤔

[tawdry nebula]

It may respond according to the order of the keywords

[inland night]

release date

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[inland night]

yo

[vernal jackal]

It filter out a sentence

Basically keywords species list

hello turtle bot

[tawdry wing]

so the re lease da te has precedence over specy es lis t

[lone prairie]

19 species, release 19.6.

[lapis fractal]

so i had an idea, what if a rare for all the ducks and geese was banded? like with a band on there leg. i looked it up and its perfectly fine to shoot these.

duck hunters love them apparently

there "treasured mementos"

[unkempt ermine]

release date

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[fair jetty]

what do you like more, upland birds or ducks?

me upland birds

[ashen pine]

I like upland birds more but I also love ducks so It's close for me

[fair jetty]

ducks rest in land that is the best thing

[ashen pine]

Yeah It's gonna be a ton of fun

Can't wait to see the rock ptarmigan

[fair jetty]

ye me too

[gray light]

i prefer upland birds

[rancid pecan]

Release date

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[rancid pecan]

Finally

Problem solved

[coarse lintel]

Depends on how quickly the upland birds spot you and flee. Like the pheasant you can get in shotgun range like 95% of the time before they fly away and are alot of fun to hunt. But bobwhite quail seem to spot you and flee alot faster making it harder to get into shotgun range, making them less fun to hunt imo.

[hidden sundial]

I like the challenge of quail more tbh, you can almost step on pheasents sometimes before they start flying

[coarse lintel]

Yeah I do wish the pheasants would take off a bit faster. But I just see bobwhite quail as opportunity kills and not go after them. Because when I do hunt for them I see a bunch of zones and get like only 3 to 7 kills in like 30 minutes

[jade thicket]

quail are pretty easy once like any species you understand all about them

atv is a good way of finding them

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

ima make you drunk from this

you said a shot sometime everyone asks that

[grave sigil]

Whitetail are going to be on 3 straight maps from release (Rancho Del Arroyo, Mississippi Acres and Revontuli Coast)

[uneven bloom]

People did want more WT maps

[languid wedge]

And now moose and whitetail has caught up to red deer on overall maps

Which I see moose getting a 5th map before wt and reds

[midnight moon]

reventouli, medved, layton, yukon, what else

would te awaora count?

[stiff leaf]

nah

[midnight moon]

then what is the 5th

[acoustic elbow]

he didn't say moose has a 5th map

[warm basin]

There isn't one

[acoustic elbow]

he said that there's a high possibility of getting a 5th moose map

[midnight moon]

oh

[languid wedge]

I said I bet out of reds moose and wt moose to be the first animal to get a 5th map

[midnight moon]

i thought he said the 5th would be reventouli

[sudden ginkgo]

moose are on three maps currently

[rancid pecan]

This is gonna be the last
They're aiming for 4 maps max per species

[rancid pecan]

Revontuli is 4th for moose

[lunar crag]

I dont

[kindred jetty]

The part a lot of folks are not thinking through yet... is that I believe some/most of these species are also gonna be spread across the other maps... if I understood the goal here.

[languid wedge]

Yes that's what I said it's wt 4th map as well

[midnight moon]

Yeah I can totally see some of these upland birds being filler for future maps.

I just wish whenever a repeat species happens, They did a little extra too it like a reserve related fur/feather skin etc.

Nothing too crazy but a smudge different.

[tawdry nebula]

And what do you think is that mean? 😉

[languid wedge]

Northern Canada or some kind of Canadian map

[uneven bloom]

Arctic Canada 🙏🏼

gimme those snow geese and arctic foxes

although I wouldn't say no to an Aus map with magpie geese either.

[tawdry nebula]

No I meant we are getting GO moose

[languid wedge]

We don't know that yet

[tawdry nebula]

Yeah, we don't know

But based on the information we have, that's what I think about

I may be right or wrong

That’s my opinion

[languid wedge]

I think elk really

I want blacktail just to piss everyone off

[rain valley]

I really doubt, since we have only 2 maps with elks and they're different

[languid wedge]

I mean we only had one for whitetail

[rain valley]

what?

oh, I just got a brain fart here

my bad

The only possible Elk GO in my opinion is the Roosevelt Elk

I don't think EW will hide the GO behind a paywall

I mean, not now

[languid wedge]

Could be for both kinds

[lament oracle]

Hello every body! Im on playstation and i Want to teach every body Who Wants it so i can teach basics where to shot and more stuff but Again just dm me for teaching ;D

[languid wedge]

[hidden quest]

Multiplayer

[solemn silo]

Tf is a GO

[hidden quest]

and also, hiding a GO behind a ‘paywall’ ( ‘paywall’ because Multiplayer exists ) wouldn’t be much different from how the Diamonds are

[hidden quest]

a Great One

[solemn silo]

Ah

[hidden quest]

a GO being exclusive to a DLC map would be good for them imo, that map would instantly become more popular, assuming the GO is going to be popular as well.

[languid wedge]

a great one is just a very rare diamond

so one on a dlc map i see nothing wrong

[hidden quest]

exactly

[languid wedge]

and like mule deer are on 3 maps which i see them becoming the first dlc great one

which would give parque a boost with it being a easy map for them

[hidden quest]

Rancho would get a little boost as well I think

[languid wedge]

yeah

[tawdry nebula]

Always I wanted GO mule deer

Hope it’s more like non typical and not like red deer

[mighty dove]

Delete those before EW sees

[storm sphinx]

Wtf

[strong fern]

This is just a Chinese version of GO Red Deer

[grave sigil]

Please, i would never leave the map

[tawdry nebula]

LOL

[sudden ginkgo]

O @ EW_JaxyBeard ?

[stiff leaf]

[lunar crag]

Srp will get a massive boost because no great ones currently

[midnight moon]

wdym?

u think muley or moose next tgo

GO

[hidden quest]

It will get a boost for sure, but I don’t know if it’ll be a massive one, since a lot of people already own the map

[lunar crag]

True

[tawdry nebula]

srp boosted already without any GOs

[jade thicket]

srp i think is the most played map

[midnight moon]

that or hirsch

bc gooses

[hidden quest]

I think it’s actually Layton Lake District, it was at least

[tawdry nebula]

I think the same

[midnight moon]

bc new players that dont have dlcs

[hidden quest]

Exactly, that and CC’s don’t exactly try to give Hirschfelden a good reputation

[midnight moon]

cc?

content creators?

[hidden quest]

Content Creator

[midnight moon]

ok

map kinda sucks sure

but gooses are good

[hidden quest]

The map is good, it’s not for everyone though

[candid cliff]

Hirsh is a good map just not the easiest to play on

[midnight moon]

medved underrated so much thooo

[hidden quest]

Yep

[jade thicket]

i dont think people who are cc say anything bad about the map its just harder to hunt that other reserves

[glacial summit]

kinda bad for making content

[hidden quest]

I think it’s only bad for content if you can’t find out how to hunt it

[midnight moon]

goose hunt

[hidden quest]

But they don’t exactly say much good either, in my experience they say more bad than good. I’ve seen misinformation thrown around about it too, although that is probably much more rare and probably not much of a thing anymore

[midnight moon]

the hirschfelden is a fraud!!!!

❌ FACT CHECK: false

[tawdry nebula]

I like hirsch, it’s like the more realistic version of cotw

or improved classic

whatever

it’s good

[stiff leaf]

the only thing i like about hirsch is the toughness of finding animals

its also pretty

[tawdry wing]

it do

[tawdry nebula]

The maps I started when I played cotw for the first time was vurhonga and hirsch

I was in love with em

[ashen pine]

The only thing I like about hirsch Is that It Is the best map

[tawdry wing]

I still enjoy both base maps by their plethora of missions

[tawdry nebula]

I enjoy all except medved

I like it tho

[stiff leaf]

Target acquired.

[tawdry nebula]

[glacial summit]

im just saying you can get a 15 minute video an srp much quicker

Less time

[hidden quest]

If you go for trophies yes, you could also make a video with no trophies 🤯

Although that probably won’t be as popular if your channel has become popular for grinding and trophies

That’s probably why there isn’t a lot of videos on it nowadays

[glacial summit]

Yes but that doesn’t go well with 12s

[jade thicket]

for content many people have time frames and it does mean that harder reserves probably wont be covered as much. this is why only a few do classic for eg. you could spend days and still not have enough for what some people would class as a decent video

[glacial summit]

Gotta have those diamonds or the video probably does poorly

[jade thicket]

hirsch is a beatiful reserve it is time consuming though to get results

[glacial summit]

That’s exactly what I would say lol

Or thats the thought I was thinking

[jade thicket]

once you get big enough it doesnt really matter

flinter for eg could film trees and its still getting views

its just how it is

[stoic rune]

Film 15 minutes of only looking at grass

Not even moving

[glacial summit]

Oh yeah but he probably wouldn’t get as many views

unless he clickbaits better than dd33

[jade thicket]

everyone has a viewer

so theres plenty of people to cater for and thats why people like all different content creators

like who you like

hmm wonder what we will see tuesday

maybe a great one moose 👀

[tawdry nebula]

hope we get the trailer but I don’t think so

[potent bane]

I don't think they will reveal it

I think it will be like the red deer

[coarse lintel]

I believe they said that they'll be showing off the geese next

[hidden quest]

I really love Fooster’s CotW videos of him just going out hunting, he built it on himself instead of trophies. I prefer videos of just casual hunting, but that’s probably much more niche.

[hidden quest]

Geese and weapon wheel is what they’ll focus on next. I can’t wait

[coarse lintel]

I seriously can't wait for the weapon wheel. However with playing on Xbox for over 3 years now I'm quite use to how the current way is, so it might take some time to get use to it.

[jade thicket]

yeah should be a great thing for console players especially

[hidden quest]

And especially my Grandpa, he’ll love it sooo much, and so will I

[midnight moon]

wtf why i get warned

what message did i send to get warned

[lament oracle]

How can i get the Irl Hunter role Cus im a irl Hunter?

You already have those roles. You're good.

[rancid pecan]

i swear this game was made for screenshots

[uncut citrus]

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

You got yourself a campfire over there

[rancid pecan]

how to make a screenshot with a broken atv:
bump your vehicle on the outpost like a mentally ill person for a couple of minutes
push the vehicle into position hoping it wont slingshot across the map
wait for your footprints to disappear

I’m just use it like the duck lanyards from classic

[midnight moon]

Yeah turkeys

I miss hunting turkeys

[rancid pecan]

Wdym

[midnight moon]

I didnt hunt turkeys in COTW in a long time

Almost fell alseep and dreamt about hunting turkeys in COTW during the whole maths class today

I have bunch of stuff to do so I dont have the time for turkeys

[hidden quest]

It is indeed. The next update is going to be one of, if not THE biggest update the game has ever had!

[tawdry nebula]

uhm… yeah

[midnight moon]

There will also be a species reset

[tawdry nebula]

Something weird is up with the eyes

[tawdry nebula]

?

[glad abyss]

Also hi adolfus

It seems like the best looking duck out of them all though

maybe not counting wing beat which is too slow

Eurasian teal is kinda just a disaster from that "trailer"

[stiff leaf]

y

[glad abyss]

Inner coverts are outer coverts for female, the mouth shape is weird, I'm pretty sure eurasian teals don't skip when taking off, wing beat is again too slow, toes are wrong, the back toe should go inwards not outwards and other stuff

Also there's no crest

the one marking that distinguishes eurasian teal from green wings isn't there

[tawdry nebula]

Looks fine to me, if you mean the line actually I have no problem with it. Still good model.

[glad abyss]

nah, not the line

The eye being all scrambled

The line is fine as it's somewhat present in real ones too

The ducks always gaping is annoying though

I hope it's just cause WIP

[warm geode]

ahh this model is so good tho

[midnight moon]

If I were to guess Its the there default flying speed, When actually being hunted they will be much faster especially when spooked.

[glad abyss]

Always strutting so not really

[warm geode]

It atleast looks kinda accurate

[glad abyss]

I guess

I don't get why the ptarmigans make display calls when spooked

It's a thing they do to attract females

not to let others know of the danger

[uneven bloom]

It was mentioned that upland bird calls were in the "placeholder" stage

[tawdry nebula]

True actually, looks like EW have a problem with the right sounds and calls, elk and fallow females have the same calls as males sometimes

[glad abyss]

Doesn't take that long to change 1 call I reckon

If flying spooked triggers a call

Then it shouldn't be super hard

[uneven bloom]

or it could be low-priority compared to other things.

[glad abyss]

It's super fast to do so why not do it?

[uneven bloom]

and unless you do game coding yourself, I don't think you should be assuming anything isn't hard.

[glad abyss]

I have friends that do

[agile mortar]

Then your friends should be able to tell you how much one tiny little change in code can be a lot of work 🤣

Our team does try their best. Lyra is also correct though, many things take priority and they have to pick and choose those priorities. 👍

But we always appreciate feedback 😉

[warm basin]

Anything special coming tommorow

[rancid pecan]

you will see tomorrow

[warm basin]

No duh

[glacial cedar]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i cant wait

[quaint lintel]

I feel like we might not get the trailer this month too

[grave sigil]

Ill make my own trailer

[warm basin]

I also wonder if the bugged layton outpost is getting fixed

Its bene broken for like 3 updates

[tawdry nebula]

lol

[hidden quest]

I’m personally guessing we’ll see the trailer the 14th or 21st this month and that it releases the 28th. That’s what I’m guessing at least, might be way off though lol

[midnight moon]

Probably

[sudden ginkgo]

It’s like playing whack-a-mole, only with 1000 holes instead of just 9

[pliant walrus]

Coding sucks

[mellow barn]

There's a suggested 9 hole limit for Whack-a-mole? Well I'll be damned, you learn something new everyday!

[sudden ginkgo]

Wait that’s a thing?

[quaint lintel]

Guys .... what if ... this map IS the December map?!!

[pliant walrus]

What does that even mean

[warm basin]

It will be if console gets delayed

[abstract echo]

Any idea when it comes out?

[vital sinew]

What time do I ibex drink

[cunning portal]

In Finland, drink time is all the time.

[bitter badger]

In Finland, water drinks you

[quaint lintel]

In Finland, it rains upside-down

[sleek basalt]

I believe Finland will be released in the next 2 and a half weeks but probably next weekend

[warm basin]

Seems ew forgot to say they released the second dev diary

[rancid pecan]

Footage of the event:

[agile mortar]

Link to it is in #📢︴game-news

[stiff leaf]

that link only sends me to the first dev diary.. unless im missing something?

[uneven bloom]

the link goes to the May 30th one

[agile mortar]

Your right, just clicked it

Well it's a holiday there today

Could be why

[uneven bloom]

that'd do it

[agile mortar]

It's on the socials though.

Just didn't make it into discord post, because of the holiday.

Can't schedule discord posts.

shakes fist at discord

[sudden ginkgo]

Release date

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[sudden ginkgo]

Solution: write the post in a private server, then copy/paste it when it needs to be sent out

okay not a complete solution but you get the idea

[mellow barn]

Hold my beer!

[agile mortar]

The problem at hand is its a holiday. 😉

[sudden ginkgo]

Right

Anyways jaxy do we have a release date yet?

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[sudden ginkgo]

@mellow barn you’re a legend for making this happen btw

[grand cipher]

lol

[agile mortar]

there we go, i linked it in #📢︴game-news

[agile mortar]

he really is! i love this

[uneven bloom]

The best thing is that it can be reused next time this channel opens

[sudden ginkgo]

TheTaurenDante was the one who actually made the art

Picsoul just made it into an automatic message lmao

[agile mortar]

ya i saw it all happening real time lol

liked his GO mallard one as well

[uneven bloom]

speaking of GO's I'm just hoping herds starting to double (or even triple in one case) up at the same zone means something afdjks;

[warm basin]

Mine did that and nothing happened 😭

[grand cipher]

lol

[sudden ginkgo]

Hey beard question: what’s your favorite of the predator species in the game?

[main atlas]

Am I now checking this discord everyday for any hints as to when? Yes. Yes I am. Will I find out when everyone else does? Also yes

It's like opening my fridge again after I did 10 minutes ago because I want snacks

[grand cipher]

there are no more hints

lol

[main atlas]

Oh no shit, really?

[grand cipher]

lmao

[agile mortar]

Do red deer count? I've died to them from getting run over more than anything else 🤣

Would be a toss up between wolves or bear most likely.... guess I should have said lynx?

[mighty dove]

I’ve been killed more by fleeing females than I have to aggressive predators

[agile mortar]

[sudden ginkgo]

Bobcats are also a thing

also do not-pigs count?

[agile mortar]

Aka fluffy lynx

War pigs use to be fun

[sudden ginkgo]

It’s hilarious to see a smol rodent-sized pig trying to kill you

[rancid pecan]

I swear its almost as if fleeing animals just target you lmao

[sudden ginkgo]

And then you just put them down with a Texas neckshot from your 454

(Yes, I’ve seen that happen. Those things are made of paper, esp compared to their other class 4 brethren)

[uneven bloom]

Most of the non-fall damage I've received have also been from fleeing animals

[sudden ginkgo]

I’m pretty sure the lynx are fluffier btw

[sudden ginkgo]

We need this.

Framerates be damned

[agile mortar]

Could be... honestly the bobcats look to cute

[sudden ginkgo]

They did a good job on the bobcat models

Also major props to the guys who redid the albino bobcat texture

[agile mortar]

I will pass that along to our artists!

[sudden ginkgo]

Quick little before & after for comparison

[sleek basalt]

Good question

[midnight moon]

Tbh should have kept this one and called it leusistic

[final helm]

Soon™️

[tawny bane]

So still no release date?

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[tawny bane]

Ok

[sudden ginkgo]

There’s your answer lmao

[tawny bane]

I didn’t know they put a bot to answer they have probably gotten sick of people asking lol

[sudden ginkgo]

You should have seen Kyla during the stream a couple weeks ago

[tawdry wing]

modern problems require modern solutions

[peak cedar]

No. Release. Date.

[sleek basalt]

I doubt that lol

[tawdry wing]

Everyone asks when's release date...
but nobody asks how's release date.

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[tawny bane]

Ya I can see that now sorry for asking a lot just that I am gonna be in Hawaii tomorrow and I wanna know if its gonna release while I am gone which I would love to happen

[sudden ginkgo]

why is release date?

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[mighty dove]

[subtle zephyr]

No release date yet, but....

[mighty dove]
