i hope we get water buffalo, fallow deer, sambar deer, fallow deer, cassowaries, feral hog (please), I really hope you leave some swamps for us to shoot ducks in like the Mountain Duck, Austrailian Wood duck, or Pacific Black duck, these would be fun if we could jump shoot them instead of them randomly flying, they automatically spawn, swimming on the swamps and drains.

TBH I have no idea of anyone who hunts the Aussie tropics (didn't even know they had any???) Will be interesting to see what animals.....

It seems that this will be a map completely full of new species to the game which makes me wonder why we couldn't do Africa.... Oh wait! I know why, everyone will like that! JK! thx EWw, will be interesting to see what you decide.
Give us ptarmigans on Whiterime Ridge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roll Tide!!

If it's grassland, good.
It's just me that they should keep their word!!! And if they say Tropical Forests, so must Tropical Forest!!!
Then they chose the wrong words in the last status update! At the word tropical forests I expect a hunt in a very dense forest on probably very small animals.
Or EW have to correct the mistake and not say it will be Tropical Forests and then the focus is not in it!!!

Understand it finally! :roll:
How dare EW try and pull a fast one on you!!! I mean first they say its tropical forest and now they're saying it's rainforest in the Twitch stream.... what's next? They'll give us the ol' switcheroo and release Africa instead??? GAWW! ;) I'm sure glad we at least have someone around here who can hold them accountable! :lol:
The reserve is inspired by the Australian tropical forest, not the rainforest. Sorry about the misleading info on the stream and all the confusion resulting from that! However, please bear in mind, that neither of our reserves is the exact copy of the existing location (hence "inspired"), we allow certain freedom when it comes to terrain and such, to cater for an interesting and diverse gameplay. For example, we need to maintain the balance between the reserve having the density reminding of a tropical forest while not killing the possibility and fun of hunting in such an area completely (Settler Creeks, anyone?), and there are more similar considerations and, consequently, compromises that we need to make.
DHRifleman wrote:Key word to the entire Australian Tropical forest is "inspired? which means they thought of that when creating the reserve. It doesn't mean it is an "Australian Tropical forest " just that it will include elements of one along with anything else they wanted to add. Just as WRR was inspired by Alaska, it doesn't mean it matches exactly.
Exactly this.

Similar to what I had happen at RFF 2 nights ago. I shot a Blacktail. Harvested it. The score never showed up (just the spinning circle). The game froze while I was trying to take the trophy shot. Alt-tab didn't help so I hit ctrl-alt-delete and then cancel. I was able to get into the game but the photo uploading notice never went away. I waited a few minutes the hit alt-f4.
I got a letter from Doc and the animal he claims I didn't harvest has a photo in my gallery of a buck that reads "no score".
**edit*** and there isn't anything in the hunt history either.
It looks like we had some server issues at the end of the last week and over the weekend, and what you describe sounds related to that. How often and when have you been experiencing this issue?

Hey all!

I am so sorry for the confusion over the Rain forest vs Tropical forest debate. On the stream I did say Rain forest and for that I am truly sorry, it is based off 'Tropical forest', not Rain forest.
Reading back through this thread, I see the debate over which exact type of forest everyone has been expecting has been going on for awhile now, maybe you all sucked me in and this is why Rain forest was on my brain! :lol: :oops:

Its a very healthy debate to be having, but like mentioned previously, this map and each one before it is inspired by areas in the world.

Cheers all and sorry that I added to the confusion!

I hope my sarcasm came through intended to provide a little comedy after the previous post ;). Of course I am very grateful for any new reserve regardless of what it contains. Cant wait to see some screenshots. :geek:

After using the new saved loadouts, I would like to comment. They are wonderful! Just click on one of your saved ones before you START the game, and you're good to go. I even had a hunt where I used my last scent eliminator, so the spot was empty. Ordinarily it would still be empty at the beginning of the next hunt. Since it was part of a saved inventory, it loaded a new one for the next start. Cool! 8-)

I 100% agree. Another example is ammunition if you shoot more than 10 shots in the next hunt a package will be missing. With the loadouts you will always be able to start with full 30 shots.

Thanks for responding Alena. It happened five or six times- it was okay yesterday when I hunted, the HM gathered everything. The Error in opening up a hunt happened twice- each time the launcher crashed at 02s. You can see it from my hunt history. But, when I went directly back into a hunt the reserve opened without a hitch. 8-) Peace.
