pheasant Bug

[tough chasm]

I have been grinding pheasant. And after this new update they all flee when i fast travel to the tent that are next to the zone.
We can’t really grind with them spooking so quickly.

Can you guys please fix This?

[lost estuary]

Set your tent 200m away, they won't flee

It is not a bug, it is a change that was applied months ago to avoid grinding xploits

Fast travel, shoot, fast travel , shoot, fast travel, shoot... thats not how play the 'hunter'... go for a walk, enjoy the environment that you're stalking through and when you stumble across something you like the looks of harvest it..

Spending 2000 hours getting one g1 sounds like fun

[lost estuary]

2000 hours is a small time frame for a hunt or trophy of a lifetime to walk in front of you

[violet hatch]

Some people don't have thousands of hours to sit on the game lol

I spose they bought TheHunter thinking it was theShooter or something?

[honest badger]

I like this update because it feels real. Did you expect them not to fly away once you teleported to the camp next to them? I don’t want them to be dumb. I’ve seen the video; it seems perfect and realistic to me. I’m sorry to tell you this, but you need to change this hunting style.

If I wanted to play for 8 hours a day and not see anything cool I'd go hunting irl

[lost estuary]

Every time you hunt irl you see something cool, whatcha talking bout williss

I cannot make you or anyone do anything so im not sure what you're getting at, no magicians here..

I agree with Morgs here

This is an immersion game, and tenting up on zones and doing the Teleportation Frenzy people are doing, isn't the best thing for the game future. Yes, it shortens up the grind of many and saves time, but boi does it breaks the immersion factor. I had a whole chat on this in the G1 chat earlier. Plus they had tweaked the fleeing distance of pheasant already (and black grouse) where players could easily approach them for better airborne shooting success.

And the whole point of the clay shooting range is probably towards that too 🙂

i have spent over 3000hours hunting this game realistic. i just started grinding and i enjoy both. some people like to hunt realistic and other people likes to grind. this game is supposed to please both sides. this new update doesnt please grinders.

2019 and 2020, we need to get back to there... there wasn't 'grinds' it was walking into the wind and spotting the horizon for a chance at a trophy.. now people don't care about the hunt, just the medal they get

[idle pulsar]

Grinders most likely represents under 20% of the players of this game. They might however, represent 50%+ of the members of the discord.

[thick flower]

yes but still. animals were doing pretty good before update. now they please only the other side.

[idle pulsar]

Perhaps, but they did permit the grinders a whole week or so of grinding... let's say "more easily". I do not know how we could accomodate each parties ? Would you have a suggestion ?

[thick flower]

i did realistic hunting before this update which took the fun out of grinding.

[thick flower]

some people have to work etc and doesnt have more than 2hours a day to play. like i said i enjoy realistic hunting and grinding. i have around 3000hours of realistic hunting and still not bored of it ,but i like to grind too, this update just ruins some fun for me!

[idle pulsar]

Understandable. I, myself, can't play most of the year because i'm following my university degree in Biology right now, 2 hours from home where my xbox is. I do often spend 4-5 h in game when I'm home and go on various hunt, but i don't go for G1 grinding because my schedule is limited. I do intend to do the red fox grind however. Your argument is well presented and you give good points.

[thick flower]

thank you and good luck with your studying! hope they put a little more effort and make next update go between these two.

[lost estuary]

You pretty much took the words outa my mouth 🤣 the grind is still very much possible but I believe the game was never meant to be this way and its to be an immersive hunting game with a very realistic chance of a dream trophy around every corner

🤞fingers crossed for all parties the next update is 100% a positive one

[thick flower]

i understand. i just got to grinding the pheasant becouse i like how the great ones look. between grinding i take my pointer and go hunt some birds in other reserves.

and yes grinding is still possible just shoot really fast and accurately, but its not as fun anymore. sometimes i love to just go BOOM BOOM BOOM

the changes of great one initial spawn is pretty much zero. so nope it wont make grinders stop or even think about stopping grinding

they are not far from pleasing both sides.

[idle pulsar]

I guess people would reset their maps until they get 1. Hence, why they removed G1 initials spawn

[thick flower]

oh yes 100% i have my lets take an example revontuli coast searched with every centimeter

people has done and still does resetting maps. i dont do it and i hope no more people does it, but removing trophies doesnt just make sense. every new player who knows what diamond animal is are going after one and it just would ruin the fun for new players 🙂 sorry for bad english i hope you understand what i mean.

[idle pulsar]

Sure, but I was just hypothetical here 🙂

[idle pulsar]

I don't understand what you are trying to say. Could you reformulate it ?

[honest badger]

It seems like this person wants to tell you that G1 was created for the grinding game.
