I feel like this is long overdue .... Let us ask questions and the community managers can do their best to get answers from the dev team ....

This wold go a long way to removing the feeling of Isolation that seems to be building in the community ....

Hoping our community managers will get behind this @tribal jewel, @buoyant storm ...

Update .....
Ok Hunters we got a response and Vivi seems to be interested but we need to show that we really want this ......

Vote and post your possible questions here for now with the understanding that that you may have to re-post them when or If she sets up an official thread ...

Be polite and respectful and give some thought to how you phrase your questions ....

Yo! We did some impromptu Q&A's for Alberta. What kind of thing are you looking for?

# buoyant storm Yo! We did some impromptu Q&A's for Alberta. What kind of thing are you looking ...

Hi Vivi, I have a question you might can possibly answer. When or if the the time ever comes to drop the old consoles support and you move forward to only the new generation support, will it just be an update for this current game or would you have to make a whole new game.

Also, if you go to the new generation console support only, could the game engine support more species of large animals on a map?

How do you plan hold up old hunters in the game? Who don't like grind and like dangerous predators and like "stalker style hunt".

buoyant storm
#

Alright if these are the types of questions you want answers about, got it. But this isn't the thread to actually ask these kinds of questions right now - it would just hide any answers from the rest of the server.

If we do a Q&A with some of these really big kinds of questions about the game's future, we'd plan it in advance, make sure we can give you all the correct answers, and make sure the whole community can participate.

#

Ok. I hope old hunters don't die and get answers.

@buoyant storm ..... Another possible question might be .... Why do Moose seem so much tougher than their IRL counterpart or why are they tougher than even some class 9 species ???

@buoyant storm Also if it’s all right, could you guys by any chance Finally Add Canadian Lynx, Wolverine, American Badger And Eurasian Badger and Snowshoe Hare To The Game at some point?!

An Another good question regarding this Feedback forum would be if the Support messages are important. I mean some threads with less upvotes get the Support message while big posts with plenty of upvotes seem to be ignored by the Support team.

Yeah i’m pretty shocked that this isn’t getting more traction. people always complain about a lack of dev transparency and for some reason no one seems to care

It would be nifty to initiate a polling post Q&A to clarify any new subjects proposed.

Maybe I'm not right but i noticed one thing. People in feedback don't want to demand.... about everything we need. They want discuss about it among themselves and hope that devs will hear them. Without pressure so to speak. (It goes something like this. If I want dangerous predators like the tiger, reworked 30-30, 45-70 etc I have no right to demand it from devs. I can only discuss about it with others...... Pay or go away to other games).

#

Another possible question for Q&A ..... Any plans on doing some UI updates? Things such as map filters, List filtering/Sorting of Hunter Logs and Submenus under storage and inventory etc .....

That’s very well put but I think this would be less of demanding the devs to give us what we want and rather questioning them on what their priorities are for what we’ll see in the future: Will we be getting a new trophy lodge soon? will we see another round of backfills this year? These are the kinds of questions we normally get in QnA and i think they’re super helpful in keeping a good relationship with the community

"Consumed all the available content" isn't a big problem. The problem is "stay in the game". Devs give nothing except grind g1 and cosmetics.

I have pointless question that I’d love to know the answer of. What is a brown Hybrid Mallard? It’s a cross between Mallard and what?

Also White Hybrid Canada Goose? What would that one be? Canada goose crossbred with what?

craggy rain
#

another possible question .... Any chance we could get some sound sliders ??? For example ducks & Geese and the ATV ???

#

Not really a question but more community votings for game content would be cool. Like a backfill voting or a voting for an free update (like trophylodge improvements or new game mechanics)

Q&A Question .... What was the reason for moving pronghorn from class 4 to class 3?

boreal chasm

#

Butttttt, considering that some other class 4’s are lighter/ similar in weight it is a bit confusing. IMO, those ones should be changed too.

Question: What are you're thoughts on adding more ammo load options to rifles other than just soft and hard point ... This could possibly expand the class range of some weapons depending on the ammo load that's used ....

You're doing this currently with shotguns having Buck, Slug and Bird shot

In way of the hunter there isn’t classes in the same way there are hunting tiers, which kinda are classes but the tiers are based on the power of the calibers, so for example a tier 6 rifle can with the right ammo get good quality on a tier 4 animal, more easier on a tier 5. I don’t think the class system is changing tho, so i hope they add more different ammo.

When are we getting a 9,3x62 Mauser in Game? You could just Port it from classic

@buoyant storm Thanks for replying to this thread! To support others, it'd be great hearing from or seeing the devs discuss future UI & Trophy Lodge improvements.

These seem to be among the most vocal & consistent asks, yet have gone a long time w/o major updates.

Some improvements sorely needed include:

  • List sorting & filtering for Trophy Manager & Codex History (by Score, Weight, Medal, Shot/Track Distance, etc)

  • Trophy Manager needs option to "Delete" a harvest w/o resetting the player back to the list top. It's so frustrating scrolling waaaaay down to delete an old trophy, then be pulled back to the top. It's discouraged me from clearing old/irrelevant trophies.

  • Trophy Lodges could display more info per animal... perhaps when hovering on an animal in "Investigate Mode", add an extra button press that brings up an expanded window w/ more hunt info! Data tells the "story" of our cherished hunts, sucks to lose it.

  • Trophy Lodge customization of plaque sizings and placement... obviously 😎

  • Any new large Trophy Lodge would help all of us, and increase the lodge limit # from 5 to at least 7 or more (if the servers can handle it)...

EW should have a standard policy that for every 3-4 reserve releases, they then release 1 new Trophy Lodge. How are we going to fit all of these new animals, tons of new fur variants from G1's/Tigers/etc, w/o extra Lodges? Especially as newer reserves have increasing # of species... love that but gotta help us showcase them better.

Any sharing of these with devs, and esp hearimg feedback in a future Q&A or Winter Update, would be great! Thanks

What do you mean with lodge limit?

I understand you have lots of passion for our game and want to improve it, and I want to keep things as constructive as I can around here.

So I urge you (and everyone else in here asking for features): use the feedback threads to give us feedback on all of these topics or continue to do so if you have already.

We read peoples' feedback from the feedback threads, especially focusing on those that are upvoted and discussed the most. We also use the amount of buzz and upvotes around a feature as some sort of indication that a lot of people want it. But it's tedious, difficult, and time-consuming to keep track of hundreds of thousands of comments when things get driven off-topic and spread out in several different threads. While many of the things you speak about are highly requested, your voice is just one of many. It would be irresponsible of me to go to the devs about something one person in the community asked for.

So please keep this thread about the prospect of having a Q&A. Thank you!

Ah ok, thx for your time. Of course I don't expect my sole opinion to be shared with the devs... come on 🤣 I'm just mentioning update ideas that several community members have requested for years, so trying to support them. I've also voiced my above feedback in those other support threads, to help those posters.

This thread is support for a Q&A session, which I figured a Thumbs Up & Detailed Comment would help support, and adding possible Q&A topics.

Anyway, thx for the reply and... "Yes" for a Q&A 😄

# pine berry Ah ok, thx for your time. Of course I don't expect my sole opinion to be shared ...

I know my comment seemed a bit dry, but I'm being genuine and not trying to clown on you 😭

I don't really agree that telling us a list of features people want is related to having a dev Q&A-- imo it's off-topic. And many people are doing that in this thread, which then makes this turn into a feedback master-thread. We have a whole forum structure for #1067511606373785730 for a reason! I think saying you want to know about what our plans are for future development or what our strategy is for XYZ makes perfect sense though.

# buoyant storm I'm not sure what information here is new, since it's written in both the guidel...

I understand that most of what people would ask for in an official Q&A are things that have already been asked here in feedback ....

And I appreciate that the dev team are reading our feedback posts.... But the difference between feedback and Q&A are the specific answers ....

Many of the feedback post are things that have been here for several years and so naturally the community wants to know why they haven't been or cant be implemented .....

we seem to be talking to ourselves especially when we seem to get the same old weapons DLC's in the spring and the fall ... Weapons by the way that no one has really asked for ....

There is also the desire to have a one to one conversation with the dev team that we seem to be missing now that weekly streams seem to have stopped .....

The Q&A can be in the form of a live stream where live questions are given and answered but I personally prefer a more ordered and formal Q&A with the community ....

Hey! Details are pending but we plan to have a dev Q&A on October 8th, so very soon!

You don't need to ask any questions here; we'll have a thread for questions closer to the date and when we announce the Q&A to everyone ^^

Big thanks to @craggy rain for making this post, idk if it was for this that they suggested a Q&A or if they had it planned, but by your help the community including got some well needed answers. Even though some weren’t answered it was a nice event, so thank you

I did not have a chance to say this yesterday but thank you everyone for participating in the Q&A! While our team could not answer all the questions in that session, we hope that in the future we'll be able to address more. Not to mention giving you more opportunities to talk directly to our devs 🙂
