Has EW published any other official information about the new drink times affecting ALL bear species? I could not find any.

**Update 1 ** 20/03/24
Here is a video from LadyLegend covering this very issue. https://youtu.be/rBn4jmqpeq0?si=9Q3CPkbOd-Wbu9Wb
Apparently the new drink times affect all bears but it is broken and the bears are not respawning.
[Since this update, the video has been switched to private.]

Update 2 22/03/24
EW have now updated their patch notes to say that ALL bear species will now be drinking in the morning.

Thank you for addressing this. It is very much appreciated.

Can EW please confirm that:
. all bears are changing drink times CONFIRMED
. all bear populations will be fully reset asap NO ANNOUNCEMENT YET
. all bugged respawning issues are fixed Not sure what's really going on with this and I can only speak for myself but:
I had to log out by 'force quitting' (on Xbox) and then sign back in, which has now spawned my morning bears. Patch was previously installed and I have only tested this on one map, Medved.

🐻ALL POPULATIONS RESET🐻
Please consider doing a full reset as soon as possible for all bear species. I would like to set up a black bear and brown bear herd management system (soft grind) on SRP and Revontuli but this will not be possible without a full reset. Grinders should not need more than a couple of weeks to clear their spoils. Their morning respawns will also likely be GOs, rares and diamonds and a delay means that they just continue to reap the system, which is unfair to the rest of the community. At some point it has to end.

Yes, all the bears now drink in the morning, and yes, you have to manually move ALL of them.

Oh, it's just grinding wasn't a thing first 3 years I played the game from back in 2018, and COTW was all about hunting, and I found the fact that we came to a time that they would considered giving the "grinders" a month before releasing something really sad.

Ah. I see. Yeah. I know what you're saying. I guess it's hard trying to keep everyone happy. I'm not sure there is a solution. I think they have to do what seems most fair to the overall community. In my opinion, if you're a grinder you should have no problem clearing your spawns in two weeks but I think a month's grace is more than long enough as a gesture of kindness. But a reset has to happen sooner rather than later.
I don't grind but I do herd manage certain species and keep a record of what's where so this delay is interfering and preventing me from doing that.
I think I'm mostly annoyed with EW because of the lack of communication and consideration for the entire community. Their patchnote information is specifically written for grinders in mind. It's very disappointing and right now I'm inclined to take a break from COTW for a few months and see what they deliver in their next updates.

Not sure how you can be annoyed with EW for "lack of communication and consideration for the entire community". They put out surveys in which they implement the highest requested updates, I think that's pretty considerate. The CM's like Jaxy answer questions all the time in streams and they don't get enough credit for it. They are only a small team looking after a massive fan base but they certainly don't lack consideration.

A patch note that announces the drink changes for black bears (a GO grinder species) and delays a population reset for the sake of the grinders but fails to confirm any changes for other bear species, is either an extremely poor communication problem or completely inconsiderate to the entire community, who are also paying for this game. Or both!

Very poor delivery of the recent bear update!

Next time they better do a pop reset this is just annoying ngl

Disgraceful. It was all about the grinders. I guess we're now clear about where their priorities are.

Here's a sample of how a Q&A should look like.

Oddly, LadyLegend's video raising all the points in this thread has been set to private.
