Make spinal cord a vital organ

Make the spinal cord a vital organ

1. The neck is a vital organ and the neck and the spine are the same thing so it would only make sense
2. So many players have messed up trophies because of this. Update all trophies so that they have the accurate medal.

i think it’s because spine hits paralyse the animal instead of fully killing it so thats why but i wish it counted as a vital since i messed up some diamonds to it

The spinal cord is not considered a vital organ in real-world hunting either. Shooting the spinal cord causes painful paralysis and isn’t conducive to a clean kill un less you are exceptionally lucky. It is not to be encouraged.

[lean bluff]

Yeah... Nah

[half burrow]

The only thing is in game it doesn’t do that, it just instantly kills it. If it paralyzed animals in game, it wouldn’t be that big of an issue

[mental ridge]

Doesn’t mean it should be encouraged.

Tbh if someone hitting spine shot in game would encourage them to make a spine shot irl then I wouldn’t think it’d be a good idea to have Snow Leopards and Tigers in game. People are usually good at differentiating fact from fiction, especially hunters.

If anything, the lack of a “paralysis” animation is probably to keep the teen rating.

[half burrow]

If I’m not mistaken Classic is also rated T and it has a “paralysis animation”, albeit it’s just a repurposed resting animation.

[mental ridge]

I thought It was M? Could be wrong.

[half burrow]

At least according to the TOS it says you should be 13+, which I believe constitutes the T rating

[sinful glade]

Classic and CoTW is M in Australia (in-between PG-13 and R, I think in your terms)

[mental ridge]

PG-13 and R are for movies (MPA)

Whereas T and M are for video games (ESRB)

[mental ridge]

Atleast for America that is.
