I wold like to see us get a boat of some sort from Wich we can hunt from especially for maps like Mississippi looking for honest feed back on this idare thank you all

graceful jackal
#

Would love a canoe or a John boat with oars (No motors ) . let me buy them and position them like tents along the water ways. speed should be variable faster than running at top speed but at the lowest speed about the same as crouch walking ... Noise level also at the lowest speed should be less than walking .....

I have always wanted this in game. I think it would work if you are only allowed 1 per map. Boat weight would be 19 or even 20 in your inventory, so it would be a bit of a pain to move it around and wouldn't become OP. It would function like a stand and also only give 25% hunting pressure but visibility range would be that of crouching about 75 -100 m instead of prone. Agree with no motor and the speed as listed above.
Would be an absolutely awesome feature. IRL where I live hunting from a canoe is legal.

Inflatable Portable Kayak
Weight 6

That it be placed like a structure and with the same range of sound on the water to move on it

#

there are even many similar models irl, all transportable and with low weight

i’ve been wanting a boat for ages

Thanks for your likes and comments so far also should ask what wold be the most practical for hunting I like the idea of a kayak or canoe also I Think some sort of rowing boat wold be better for stability. So what we're looking for is a boat that can be transported I guess like the blow up.
Or how wold u think this would work in the game or like it to work

junior pine
#

I think we should vote on your favorite boats this jon bout has silent outboard and some paddles so u can be sneaky I'm guessing u can get up to 2 or 3 hunters on there

Hi all I've been told irl hunters are not allowed to hunt from a motorized boat.
So I ask you all to share your opinion on this.
1 we could just ask for non motorized boats like the kayak or canoe .
2 depends on the laws in some places in the world
3 it's a game and we like to see motorized boats regardless of some laws.
Or 4 you're own comment please state
Please vote 1 2 3 or 4 comment thanks

I suggested the Kayak because in all the surveys of these last years in the option of "new vehicles" there was always the Kayak, I suppose that they always had it in view so it is the most likely

junior pine
#

@limber shard I did not know this well I'm be happy with any boat to be honest just being Abel to row down a river and spot need zones maybe shoot a few ducks or deer really seems relaxing and efficient way of travel around some of the maps with large lakes and rivers.
I really hope the devs see are post and take note at least

junior pine
#

Maybe we should look in to some row boats as a option as well depends on the most popular choice and what's more likely to be use irl and what the players of the game wish for I guess
That's why I decided to discuss this abit more so we can all have a say

limber shard
# wooden kernel What would be better? A kayak or an inflatable boat. Not a raft but a real boat.

I think that a Kayak or some transportable inflatable would be the most useful since you can shoot while mounted on them, they would also be more maneuverable to place lures, also from one you could position yourself above the "deep water" or in the center of a lake where the Ducks don't land and shoot from there to avoid being spooked as is currently the case with structures on the shoreline

graceful jackal
#

Great idea ... using the boat to deploy decoys and the floating duck blind in the center of a lake .....

graceful jackal
#

There are a couple of big lakes on Yukon that have zones that are very difficult to find a location from the shore line to shoot from. Being able to shoot from a boat would be ideal for accessing those zones.

junior pine
#

So meny maps could do with a boat to navigate the rivers and massive lakes think of the time we mite save if we're out there on a boat spotting zones and retrieving those kills

junior pine
#

I was having a think of how the boat or canoe mite work as in how it is placed on the lake or river maybe it will work like when your at the shop u click boat then choose where you wold like it or as an item that you can carry and pace down in water. What do u all think

lusty star
#

I just realized that not only would one of the boats listed here could work not only on my Arctic Reserve but also my bird-focused South American Reserve

junior pine
#

Really

#

I will aso post in your other reserve @lusty star

limber shard
graceful jackal
#

I agree let the players purchase the boats and place them where they want on some water source of course

junior pine
#

Should hunting from the boat or canoe be less hunting pressure what do you guys and ladies think

dreamy turtle
#

If it's a reduction it should be less than static structures
Would become a bit too good if it was as good and was mobile

junior pine
#

a boat or some sort of canoe ?

opal field
#

I don't really want them myself, but I could live with canoes for travel being added (essentially a very slow ATV added to water), or as place-able water crossings. However, I don't want hunting from boats of any sort being added. One exception I would make is perhaps being able to hunt alligators from a boat, but not anything else that we now have. (Hippos, one day, perhaps as well.)

junior pine
graceful jackal
#

I would like to have boats be like tents except remove the fast travel ability but from a boat I should be able to access storage. ....... Boats should also be as heavy at least as a tent and only be place-able on the water. I dont even really care if you can hunt from them. ....... Just let me place down a boat and from boat let me select a location on the body of water I wish to travel to. The game should calculate how much time it would take to get to that location. I can then choose to travel by boat to that new location

dreamy turtle
#

I find JJ's suggestion quite interesting. Using it as an "anywhere on the shore fast-travel" device.

However I see a different approach that could be used. I think the boats should behave more like a deployable ATV. You place them on water, "drive" them around as needed, maybe hunt from them and go back. They could be inflatable rubber boats with paddles for example.
If they were implemented like this it wouldn't make too much sense to have storage in them.

junior pine
#

Yes I think jj s idea is not bad but just not how I'd like to use a boat if there was one in the game.
And I do like to see diffent points of view being put across the
One more thing for the devs to think about.

graceful jackal
#

every time I play on Yukon or RC I wish I had a personal boat .... These monster lakes are killing me .....

limber shard
#

This is a canoe model that is already in the game, but too big to be able to transport it, if there were small docks with cabins like the ones in Mississippi, I guess you could use the "generate" command like with ATVs xD

20230402120908_1.jpg
junior pine
#

That canoe looks sick as well
JJ I know some lakes are massive wold be nice if we could just row across
Also I do think it be grate for the casual hunter who likes to explore and hunt what ever Thay find Infront of there gun.

graceful jackal
#

I know it would be so immersive for us to actually have the animation of rowing and traveling in the boat but for the sake of simplicity and expediency i personally will accept just the ability to travel from one place to another on the water. Others may not care for this approach but whatever gets us there is important. I will leave that up to the devs and what they can accomplish ...

#

I certainly will not complain if we can travel in the boat like we can in an ATV .... of course not as fast

#

but just being able to cross a big lake to pick up a kill without having to run all the way around would be huge ....

junior pine
#

@graceful jackal much agree with your comment . But I'm praying they let us row about and explore and maybe hunt from it maybe place down some duck decoys and that because this wold be more emersive and I feel more people will get it if it comes out as a dlc for example

rough escarp
#

Boats/canoes and more dogs are the most needed things in the game right now

limber shard
#

I really hope they place a Kayak, in each survey Avalanche placed it as an option in the "new vehicles" section..
Now that theAngler is developed they may have solved the problem of moving on water, at least now there are floating hideouts

junior pine
#

Let's talk about storage on the boat or canoe... Yes or no
on a storage box for guns and that

limber shard
#

I think that having a transport that moves on water is already more than enough

mellow roost
#

I've been an advocate for an inflatable rubber dinghy since the initial release, so thumbs up from me.

junior pine
#

Thank you

zinc moth
#

Only if they implement hippos that can then eat your boat on Vurhonga.

junior pine
mellow roost
#

We have enough troubles with the beavers already, pls no hippos

junior pine
#

Another thing I don't think we have discussed much is if we did have a boat or canoe do we think it should be able to fit 1 or 2 hunters on it maybe 3 depending on if it a boat.
I think 2 is nice but what do u lot think

graceful jackal
#

I think the boat or canoe could be a single or multiplayer vessel .... For example if 2 players have a boat in inventory then they can use it to create 2 single man boats. Or let them combine together to create one 2 man boat. So that players can combine their boats together to create up to a limit of a single 4 man craft. Allowing the boats to be used both ways .... Of course this would require more dev time to implement than a constant single man boat .... You would also have the issue of who would control the boat when it's combined in such a way

junior pine
#

Do think that mite be tricky to make in the game and may coz bugs to

rough escarp
#

I just think you do one single player canoe and if two people want to hunt together they just take their own canoe

junior pine
#

Ture or we could have a choice like the ATV has 3 diffent colours we could have a choice between single player canoe / boat or two person canoe / boat

rough escarp
#

If you could hunt alligators in a boat with one person driving and another shooting that would be sick

limber shard
#

The problem with the 2 player vehicle is the server latency, it is never better than 100 because the network and pc systems are not dedicated, basically one player would drive while moving and the other would be flying or lagging behind or creating a black hole that would absorb the entire universe or something like that xD

graceful jackal
# junior pine Do think that mite be tricky to make in the game and may coz bugs to

Of course it could be tricky ... I said so in my post ~ *Of course this would require more dev time to implement than a constant single man boat * ~ . Everything you do has potential to produce bugs and boats are no different. Now if you want the easiest, quickest and least error prone solution then just have boats be placable like we have with tents and tripods today .

#

Place the boat down on a waterway select a destination on the same waterway and you travel to that new location ....

junior pine
#

Sorry some how I missed that in your comment @graceful jackal
Yes I see your point I just don't feel like a teleporting boat thing wold add the hunting experience buddy
I guess the devs will ultimately decide what's the best way to go

#

Just thout I mention a option for 2 players to use one boat or canoe if this is possible then grate but if not then no worry's
Because I have been seeing post about sharing the ATV and that could add extra attraction to the possible boat / canoe dlc

rustic lynx
#

… and if there were water currents, you could drift down stream in said boat/canoe (Adding currents to the water is not likely to happen, I know. But it would be interesting. Drifting down the stream).
Let’s just get the boat/canoe first 😉

static kestrel
#

I would like to see a Jon boat with a 9.9 motor, maybe even allow multiple people and a duck blind, of course you can only use the blind when you anchor the boat. But it would add a lot to the waterfowl hunting

#

Something like these

IMG_3568.jpg IMG_3567.jpg
junior pine
#

@static kestrel so wold I we have talked about motorized boats and because the game is ment to be a hunting sim we found out hunting from a motor boat is not legal in some places
( Even know so is useing a ATV to hunt with is also the same lol ) but we did all vote it wold be easier to ask for a non motorized boat.
This duz not meen for a second your voice is not herd just buy saying that's what u wold like so see may make the devs think of adding a motorized boat to the pack maybe who knows

static kestrel
#

@junior pine I could see how adding a non motorized boat could be easier, and to be honest, with the addition of the new waterfowl blind they are tinkering with water more so we could see boats. In my state it’s illegal to hunt out of a boat if the motor is running, boats are a huge use in duck hunting around here, many people make pontoons into blinds and kayaks into blinds. So who knows what we’ll see

junior pine
#

So if we get a boat or canoe I wonder if we may suggest a name for it
For example (little sinker )

junior pine
#

I like the (quack destroyer )

This would be an amazing addition. Just add a New Trophy lodge with it and it would be like Christmas 🤣

junior pine
#

Much agree @molten saddle there are so many times I wish I could just row down a river or a lake and it seems like there are 73 other people who wish for this to become a thing in the game.

#

I can see this being added in a new theHunter game especially since they have the new engine for the angler which obviously has boats, but here's hoping.

probably not tbh

They name a lot of their weapons and stuff after the people that worked on the game/still is

#

We may need this boat to kill some Crocodiles 👍

storm wave
#

I think it should be a single person inflatable that you carry around like a backpack, selectable from the backpack menu with the same restrictions of noise and spotting for spooking animals. But it should deploy like a tree stand, using deployable locations dotted along the shores, like rock outcroppings or something and obviously the docks. Once on the water it'll move with controls like the ATV but slower under paddle control, no motor. You could travel to any other location along waterways and leave the water at them just like how you entered. If shooting from the boat is implemented, then it should work like in the Angler where you stop and access a shooting position storing the paddles. But because it's on water it should affect aiming stability increasing sight/scope wobble.

Just my thoughts on implementing this idea. I don't know if I'd ever hunt from the water, but I know I'd use it to get around places.

#

I was just thinking we need boats in here. And it'd also be nice if dogs could fetch small downed game so you could shoot some ducks from the boat and have the dog bring it in

junior pine
#

That's good thinking maybe swimming dogs two

forest marten
#

I mean it'd make sense they do have dogs fetch ducks irl

summer elk
# junior pine That's good thinking maybe swimming dogs two

It would probably just have the bloodhound in the game already but they would just add more mechanics to have the duck/goose/bird in their mouth while retrieving the duck, you would have to train it to go retrieve and every time you level the dog up, it finds the duck/goose/bird faster until it reaches max level of fetching, it would compare with the tracking level but it would be fetching and they could also add a swimming level to get in and out of the water faster than they could get in, with the water too deep that your person couldn't go in it, it would be nice to have a dog that could go in and retrieve it for you.

junior pine
#

Almost at 100 likes so far hot topic I think we need to decide if we ask for
In the passable dlc is

  1. Do we have a combination of boats and canones in one dlc giving more options of diffent play stile and hunting experience

2.Or just ask for a canoe dlc

Try vote 1️⃣ or 2️⃣

Just so we're all on agreement of what we wish for in the game thanks

#

Or if you have an diffent idea just comment

limber shard
#

I still believe that the best option is an Inflatable Kayak, transportable and unfoldable as if it were a structure, that would give more freedom of action to use it both in lakes and to cross the rivers

junior pine
#

@limber shard thank you will be making a update to the suggestion pin and notes and yes I think the inflatable is popular two

I see it like when people asked for a dog in cotw then Thay got one and now Thay want dogs that do diffent things
The option of choices is a fantastic thing much like the choice of
Guns and choice of ground blind or hunting stand.

I think wold be nice for people to choose what they wold like to hunt from be a kayak. canoe or boat
As always the people decide and hope
The devs take notes

So close and unable to use them 😦

It could be really cool to have a hunting buddy in a canoe with you duck hunting.

junior pine
#

Was suggested some time a go I had to add it as there no disapproval and seems like a good idea

molten saddle
#

If they go the inflatable raft direction maybe have two options to buy in the store. 1 person that has less weight penalty and a two person raft that has more weight penalty. Probably discussed as well?

junior pine
#

I see ur point the suggestion only has one inflatable for one player rite now wold u like have a two peron kayak two

#

@junior pine absolutely

The idea behind the generate a boat or canoe is for the two person to enjoy and try out hunting online together

Added to be discussed see what the people have to say

Still to be discussed is should there be a two person inflatable kayak
After the discussion we shall vote yeah or no

I mean whatever we get should be able to hold at least 2 people

I would like it to have two people as well unless it will break the game or be to hard to implement.

#

I think that by now everyone will have noticed that birds almost never land in the middle of the water and that the dog scares them when they descend to one side of it. I think that more than ever we need a boat to be able to reach the center of the water to hunt waterfowls without problems 🚣 ...

In my opinion, the alligators in the Mississippi map need to be reworked. I only get half of my kills in the water because they sink and get stuck. I would hope EA will fix the issue before we start shooting from boats.

Everytime i play Yukon I wish I had this

#

I think this could bring about more island to specific maps (I’ll use Mississippi as an example) it could use a few more islands, perhaps they could add some more existing waterfowl like mallards!

#

If one day minimaps arrive then I would not rule out having a small one for some reserves only for hunting waterfowl, after all the Duck Seasons are in separate seasons from those of the other species, it would be logical that it was only in a small section of wetlands..
Can you imagine having an International Waterfowl Grand Slam in the game one day? It would be crazy xD

Summary of the boat or canoe/kayak so far
At the moment we mostly agree the boat or canoe. And now inflatable kayak

will have no motors a the kayak to be portable inflatable so can be taken anywhere and only for one hunter

The boat to be a bird hunting boat with
Blind for two hunters

Canoe wooden to be for maybe two hunters

Speeds faster than running at top
At the lowest speed same as crouch walking slower than walking.

Noise levels we all believe it should be less than on land travel when running and walking.

Weight 19 or 6 depending on if it's a inflatable only 1 per map

Hunting pressure 25%

Visibility about 75 --100m

Generate opinions maybe we could generate a boat or canoe from set locations or shop garage.
And for the inflatable kayak
To be fully portable and be inflated when needed

Note to be added for dev team when shooting aim wobble may also be a thing to consider on the water

Also be nice to have the dog retrieve
Ducks or other animals that happen to get hunted
So we can take are dogs in the water with us on the trip

( weight penalty involved with the two person inflatable kayak )

Thanks EWexpansiveworlds

Is there any adjustments people wold like so see this is up for discussion untill 300 where a new pin will be made
Hope we all in some sort of agreement 🛶

I would love to see kayaks to call Of The Wild for Waterfowl hunting

It would be great for getting close to large game while drinking or be cool to hunt waterfowl from

Unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that the only boat we might get from EW would be a static boat ..... I say this with reluctance because I am so tired of running around some huge lakes to pick up a kill .....

You purchase the boat and place it on the bank and it becomes a boat icon .... You then select a location on the opposite bank and it just becomes a crossing point like we already have in game on some maps ..... 😢 ..... it saddens me to suggest this but at least it should be easy enough for them to do .... that is before the end of the world .....

At least give us something like this until you can create a real boat for us to use ......

i want to bump this, because today i had the same idea while hunting around some big lakes. it is very annoying to walk around the sea, i mean i could waste 2 tents for that, but then im missing an other lake where i have to walk eons of time to get there from next outpost. so what if u would limit it to 3 or 5 boats per map, it would count as a hunting stand, so that its not additional to them, that would mean we can place less of them per map if we want to use a boat. (that sounds fair to me) and even a small boat like a rowing boat would be enought, makes less noise, is kinda slow (maybe it could work with the endurance of the player char) and at least in my opinion it would also be fair if we cannot hunt from the boat, just a vehicle like the ATV, but without that crazy noise.✌️

ocean path
#

I also wanna be able to pick up animals on water when im on my boat, maybe thats been said here before though

#

It's always annoying when you have to wait minutes for animals to wash up on the shore when they die in water

I hope if we had boats we could harvest the animals while you're on the water with your boat

This also makes it easier to go through areas with lots of water
Another form of transport would be awesome
I hope this can be spawned in from inventory just like how you place tents
Imagine riding into the sea and the waves get bigger and bigger until they get too big and you die, would be a pretty fun challenge to see how far you can go with friends

Careful, you might get people complaining that the ATV created bugs and now want no vehicles in the game.

#

301! i dont even bother to harvest animals on the other side of the river anymore i dont feel like walking for ages

#

tents would be even more useful to have if you can spawn kayaks or boats with them

graceful jackal
#

I'm really afraid that the only boat solution that works for this version of COTW would be a fast crossing icon /map object that players can purchase and place on a water body.

Players can link two of these together within LOS to provide a way to quickly cross a eater body.... This would work very similar to what we have already in MA and RC reserves ....

This boat landing objects would cost a little less than a tent .... maybe 10k and you would be limited in how many you could place on any one map ....
