Why do Dogs not work properly in Multiplayer ?
No matter what command you give, they are stuck behind you until you log out - hard to do as server host.

Why have the Dogs not been fixed, these DLCs are too expensive to be broken and never fixed.

Please fix the way Dogs are broken and always stay behind you and don't, Sniff, fetch, they don't do anything once broken, until you reload the game.

I did not pay for 3 broken dogs

#

The Dog will always remain behind me on my right, - even if I turn 360 it will still be behind me and not work.

that's really weird. I only have the bloodhound and it is working just fine.

# round cloud Hey <@658040082250596383>! We are sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with...

Sorry for the late reply, I've been takin some time off, and wanted to talk to my community before I respond.

Well I'm going to be honest here,
I am very disappointed in the Dogs for a few reasons and after buying the German pointer and Map, I decided I will not buy anymore DLCs if this is the direction they are going.
Many of my community have expressed similar opinions.

  • My biggest annoyance is after paying for 3 different Dog DLCs,
    I get to use the dog for maybe 60 min during my livestreams and then it is no longer usable,
    it glitch's out and even if you turn 360 degrees you will never be looking in the direction of your Dog as it is always just out of view and unusable in any way,
    It will not ( Track, point, or any other command).

As a small streamer my community members can log out and back in to fix this issue but as the server creator I can not log out without kicking everyone.

Even trying to switch dogs from one to another dose not fix the issue.
Making these 3 Dog DLCs useless and a waist of money for myself and an annoyance to others.

  • AS TO your message.
    " If you have any other things you'd like to report"

Here is a list of my personal dislikes regarding the current state of the base game and recent DLCs and updates.

The Graphics Ritual - Tabbing out ( Full screen switch )

After a Tab Switch I am forced to do a stupid Graphics ritual "switch graphics option from Full screen to Windowed mode, back to Full screen mode"
or the curser dose not match the screen and if you don't do this switch you cant hit any thing you shoot or even select menu options, because the cursor is offset.

This is the ONLY GAME I have ever played that forces me to switch from Full screen to Windowed mode, back to Full screen mode, because I switched tabs, and
I have played some really bad games from some very noob developers, No One has ever had this issue that I know of, so I am surprised and confused as to why this game makes this an issue.
( doesn't matter why I switch tabs, maybe its to except an invite so someone can join us in game or other )

No other game dose this!

  • DOGs

HEAL. - Please Google the meaning of this command,

These are WORKING DOGS! they should have been trained better.

Heal dose not mean walking ahead crashing through branches and scaring animals,
The Dogs need to learn to HEAL CORRECTLY.

There are many other complaints of the dogs not retrieving or pointing well, that I think your aware of from steam.

( The pointer getting so close it could as we say in New Zealand HONGI,)
"Grasp the other person's hand, as with a handshake, lean forward and gently press noses and foreheads together;"

  • Animals vanishing ? after a long hunt.
    we have found animals disappear, Vanish, Despawn after a long hunt.
    ( I personally have forced a deer into a dead end with no where to go, and it disappeared. where did it go ? )

  • Animals death.
    The decision if an animals dies from a gunshot makes no sense,
    I have had deer organ shot through both lungs walk for an hour and not die.

yet similar deer shot in the foot or tail, die on the spot instantly or almost instant.?
Many of my community have also expressed annoyance at this also.

MEMBERS of my community have also expressed annoyance at water crossings, some maps do not offer enough areas to cross making you walk long distances and what looks like shallow water crossing are too Deep, its not just water though it can also be with rocky areas and even hills.
Making pathing very hard on some maps.

LETS TALK MULTIPLAYER.

  • Multiplayer drop outs,
    This game is very unstable for many of my community, we have checked for many reasons it might be from our end, But we never have any drop out issues in any other game like we do when we play this, its just very unstable for Multiplayer.
    ( One of many reasons we have started to now play Way of the Hunter, its more stable and has better hunting mechanics )

  • If a Player dose drop out, they seem to lose any points etc they would normally have gained from a kill, when they reconnect, making it hard to advance and when it happens often they just give up and don't re-join.

We play many Multiplayer games, this is the most unstable.

  • MP needs a better Invite system.
    My only options are PUBLIC or FRIENDS LIST ( none of my community can work out what Multiplayer private is for LMFAO as you cant even invite people to this mode of multiplayer).
#

I would like to see an Invite code for easy invites
-We should not be forced to add everyone as steam friend, just so they can join our community hunts.
Especially seem steam limits how many friends you can have.
Our community is not interested in also being forced to use any other apps other then steam to log in ( like the
Expansive Worlds own app.

and Public seldom works when I am livestreaming,
Im sure you know why. ( Abuse, annoying people who just want to bug others and more, yes we can kick after it happens )

But if we had an Invite Code system for Multiplayer ( with a reveal button to hide the code ),
we can decide to give out this code and would be much better for streamers and anyone who plays to create or join Multiplayer games.
This invite code system is already used in many other games, so should be easy to implement.

Even after buying several game keys to TheHunter call of the wild base game and giving them away to my community members in November Giveaways, We have recently started playing Way of the Hunter, as it is more stable and a more fun hunting experience.

#

These are just some of many issues expressed from either myself or my community.
There were many more, but these were the most common issues.

I hope the game improves in the near future and makes players feel like a DLC is an improvement, not just another money grab.

If you made it this far,
thank you for the response and listening to our opinions.
Happy New Year

Hello, Glen!

Thanks for contacting Avalanche Studios Group Customer Support Team!

We appreciate you taking the time to provide such a thorough and detailed breakdown of the issues you and your community have been experiencing. We understand your frustration, and we greatly appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve the game and provide a better experience for players like yourself.

Regarding the dogs’ behavior, we acknowledge the frustrations with the tracking, pointing, and the "heal" command. The dogs are designed to follow commands, but there may be occasional glitches or unintended behavior in how they respond. We’re working on improving their responsiveness and are currently investigating some of the issues you've mentioned.

In terms of multiplayer, the game operates on a peer-to-peer basis, which means that each player’s connection quality can influence the overall stability. If you're experiencing frequent dropouts or lag during multiplayer sessions, it's often due to issues with the connection between players.

We appreciate your suggestion for an invite code system in multiplayer. This would provide a more streamlined way to invite community members without relying on the friends list. We will take this feedback into consideration for future updates as we continue to refine the multiplayer experience.

You keep saying "My Community" ... you have fluff all COTW content ... and the most views on one video is 109 . Plus Multiplayer invite system is perfectly fine as is. It's seamless and just works. Don't fix what isn't broken.
