#Snow-themed Trophy Lodge

I know we have three lodges and i love them, but i feel like we now have three maps with snow and creatures that go with the biomes. So why not a trophy lodge that make better homes for them? Safari is great but makes my new woods bison look out of place.

One that fits the atmosphere of the snowy maps, roomy enough for big trophys, with less spots for the show guns. I only use like four main guns in total (thats just me).

Maybe its just me that thinks this would be a good idea, but it would be nice to see a trophy lodge that gives a different vibe to housing your trophies.

I’ve been wanting a lodge like this for years!

If we get this lodge, I hope it comes with Terra-mounts and I also hope the base of the full body mounts are like coniferous forests. Then we can home European animals in spring creek, most of the US in this lodge and the rest in Seseka!

We def need a new lodge. The spring creek is so crowded on where the big mounts can go but it’s beautiful. And the safari is roomy but it can get hard trying to place things like the reindeer and caribu in it cause they just dont fit the vibe. A modern cabin in the snowy mountains would add such a needed depth. A space big enough to house at least 3-4 XL mounts, less gun racks than safari cause most ppl i visit only use at most 4 of the big racks.

Another mechanic that would be cool is custom multi trophies. Say we take the medium “Emergency Take Off” trophy. Instead of it being specific to that animal we could change it up. The fox model could be any “fox” red, grey, tibeten. Then the ducks could be any waterfowl. Now im not saying change all if them like that but create new multis that can be altered in that way. Any animal can be altered with that same type of animal. It would shorten the list to go thru.

The fallow, whitetail, reindeer, and roe share all the details with their three deer multi. Why not make it to were we can mix and match them?

Ofc i love the game and these are just ideas i like to think of. But they would add a lot of trophy customization

Yes! We need the mount restrictions gone! Idk if a modern lodge would be best, but a Rustic lodge (Similar to Layton lodge and Spring creek) in the mountains would be perfect. It should have A lot of xxl plaques for the big multimounts and a lot of the others too. As I previously said, the mount bases could be coniferous themed, but you’re OP so you make all the decisions, I’m just here for suggestions!

To me i feel like we have a lot of rustic lodges and even outposts. Im not saying minimalistict modern but clean modern. Where the open rooms feel a bit bigger bringing in the natural lighting and even just a cooler lighting would do wonders. Maybe even a front and center stand alone base in front of big winow veiw so people could show off that one trophy they are most proud of.

The rustic is nice and modern and rustic can always coincide with each other. But it would be nice to have a place that gives just that kind of unique feel about it. Like the crazy and unique trophies that it would house.

Would it be alright if I post a few trophy lodge example pictures?

Most of those suggestions are great but would require a huge amount if rewriting code for each animal and each mount. At that point they would put in the same effort they would into making a new game. Small tweaks to the mechanics would be the most ideal without risk of breaking too much of whats there already. I dont want to change existing mounts. Just create new ones that allow for a small amount of control over what we want.

Those ideas would be great for a new game. But for an existing game with such a stablized system already, it would do more harm than good.

Im not knocking the ideas. Just thinking on a smaller scale thats more doable

I think the devs do an amazing job at trying to accommodate what we want and compromise on things they can actually do. A new lodge for the new types of maps, and typing based control over the multi trophies would give players more control over their lodge customization, and devs a chance to see what players actually want without risking big changes to the game

Everything just said is so true, we are asking for too much. If we want EW take our suggestions seriously, we have to be realistic

I used to think they were somewhat limited by an older game engine ...... but beginning with the Nepal map and now with the advanced snow features and beaver interactions I think they have shown they can do much more than I gave them credit for .....

Right or wrong I don't think we should think them incapable of delivering on difficult requests ....

There is more competition in the Hunting Sim market ... Delivering on difficult requests is necessary if they want to keep a leading position .....

# storm vortex Our Job is just telling them what we want ... leave it up to them to determine ...

It’s true that we should tell them what we want in the game. But we can’t be upset and angry when EW doesn’t completely redo the ammo system or adds a fully customisable trophy lodge where you build your own mounts wherever you want. It would require a ton of changes to the code and render everything previously done obsolete. I’d like all of the things in the trophy lodge thing pinned above, but we have to face the fact that the demands are quite unrealistic and probably won’t happen.

Dont compare this to the ammo system and specifically the uproar over the new .30-30 in AR .... They are not even on the same scale in comparison ....

They could have very easily increased the stats on the .30-30 to overcome the obvious unrealistic performance issue with that weapon ... This was something that they should have done or at least come forward and tell us why it wasn't done ....

As for fixing weapons across the board .... that's not unrealistic at all .... It's not unrealistic for a hunting game to have believable ballistics ....

Weapons are fundamental to a hunting game .... you can't compare them to a trophy lodge ....

My point with the weapon system was that a lot of people want to remove the already existing classes. They want special classes for birds, it’s own for small predators etc. Then they complain when it doesn’t happen. Of course it won’t happen, we already have a classing system unique from any other game. They won’t completely change it just because a few hundred people want something different. I guarantee there’s hundreds more players that would hate that happening and stop playing. They have to cater for all players, building your own mounts wouldn’t work on console. Changing the entire weapon system would make the old players leave.

My last word on this because I dont want to derail this thread ......

The majority of the weapons grog's complaining are just wanting to see ammo adjusted or added to better reflect the actual capabilities of those platforms ....

I don't doubt that some have called for complete animal class changes ... but I don't personally support that .... I think there are some individual animals that should be moved up or down in class ... But those are tweaks and not huge massive changes as you describe ....

Yes, the one is from Way of the Hunter, but I had to include it cuz that’s the only thing I like from that game, everything else about that game I despise.
