notification of escaped animal

[magic belfry]

please put an option to remove the notification of a fleeing animal.
it's unrealistic and very frustrating and change totally the approach to the game discouraging you to follow the animal that you can or could find with a bit of patience

The Fleeing state means the animal is actively running away from something that scared it, what else are you supposed to call it?

[magic belfry]

I know what is it and don't want to call it in no way, i simply want an option to remove it, before 2025 it was not in the game.

[slow oriole]

Uh what? Fleeing has always been in the game.

Is English your first language? I’m wondering if there’s a translation error going on here.

[magic belfry]

I want simply an option to remove the fleeing notification.

[slow oriole]

The vocalization or the spotting info? Or both?

[magic belfry]

So seems the problem is not my English or my translator.... the next question is:
What is a notification for you?

[slow oriole]

Usually a pop up or part of a UI that conveys some form of information to you.

[magic belfry]

exactly you win! so what i'm refferring to?

[slow oriole]

What I don’t understand is why you want it gone, you can avoid it completely in the spotting info (which technically isn’t a notification as it’s not given to you without your input) by just not buying that perk, and the vocalizations are useful to let you know if quarry you can not see is going to be somewhere else so you don’t waste an hour belly crawling to where you last saw it.

So sorry for trying to clarify and understand your point better even though I’m clearly not the only one befuddled by your post.

As for realism, while COTW doesn’t handle the sounds perfectly and has audio issues, you can absolutely tell if an animal is fleeing irl from the sounds of them crashing through the brush.

Way of the Hunter also has a similar system but their sound design for it is better imo.

But if you really want it gone you can turn off the vocalizations by setting Audio Clue Visualization to OFF under the Interface settings. As well as resetting your skills and just not purchasing the 3rd tier for Spotting Knowledge when you redistribute them.

i don't want want to turn off vocalization. i simply want an option to not see the notification on the top right of the screen that sai "ANIMAL FLEEING". ONLY THIS. i can follow animal clues for a lot's of time if the animal could be a diamond, so it0s not a problem for me to stay prone or other slow thngs.
