I love bow hunting, go prone and stay quiet in the field just observing for many minutes, so i'm going to bite this linx rear in no time .

I don't really understand this part, "what [we] would like to know". Ok, I know what I would like to know, in the form of a question.. Can someone from EW please tell us what kind of vehicular transportation is currently being developed for tHC?From the Status Update of Sept. 5th, 2018 wrote:This weeks question comes from filip_9_, who asked on Instagram “Can we get new vehicle’s?”
This question will be answered by our Game Designer, Patrick, here is his reply!
“That is a ‘Wheely’ good question and the timing could not be better! We are actually currently working on a new form of transport in the game, sadly at this stage I cannot tell you more. But there will be more details coming out very soon, thanks for the question!”
Make sure to head over and let us know what you would like to know. A friendly bit of advice is to make sure they are questions, “I want to see X’ Is not a question and makes it hard for anyone to answer.
Yeah, but can you put it up in less than a second and jump into from the ground instantly????Radamus wrote:When it comes to transportation, consider that just putting a TS up spooks for 100m- which is kind of garbage to begin with - I can put my climber up a tree easily within 50m or so in the woods and no one will ever know, I've always said this is wrong because I know it's wrong, I've done it, I know for fact.
Yeah, they are especially not fearful of diesel engines. I had to stop a friggin' bulldozer once, because a buck was standing right in front of me staring at me. Not until I idled down and stood up did he run. Tractors don't even faze them. Gas engines, particularly higher RPM ones like ATV's do spook them a bit more, particularly if you stop.Radamus wrote: So lets consider something mechanized, I can't imagine how bad the spook will be with that. But then I think, I've been out mowing where we put corn in horse buckets in the backyard and I've had deer stand there and wait for me to be finished so close you wouldn't believe it, much less that 50m. But as soon as I would stop they take off in high gear. It's why deer will stand in a field while a farmer is driving his tractor, as long as he's moving they don't care much. They are used to it.
That is an impressive number of players starting. Less than 6% passing the first hurdle though and less than 1% holding out to the end. Congrats if you are one of them. 35 very proud players and 3726 players left with nothing. Maybe make all missions available at the same time next time, some might have failed on the first pack but still succeeded on another.Status Update wrote:3,948 Players started the missions
223 players completed the first mission pack
210 players started the second pack and only 77 finished them
76 players started the third pack and only 35 completed the last pack
Will be interesting to see how the community reacts to a new animal after 5 months since the last one, and then you can be lucky to find one. I will start with a positive attitute towards it though. They also said the Bobcat was going to be really hard to get and it turned out to be rather easy.Status Update wrote:The Lynx is by design a very rare and elusive animal. They are always going to be in a spawn, but have low population numbers and are very jumpy. This is done to give you a great sense of pride and achievement when you do bag one, as well as to mimic them in real life.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head in more ways than one in this statement... its going to depend on what an individual feels is an achievement in the game and to what degree they like a challenge. This will be the 46th(?) animal in the game, 45 are pretty easy to hunt, why not make one a bit of a challenge? Its not like the animal we are putting into the game is not hard to hunt in real life. I firmly believe it is very huntable, it might require some people to change up hunting styles a little. But like I wrote in the SU, they are able to be stalked or called into a stand. You know that great sense you feel when you shoot a rare or NT, well they are no where near as rare as those, but for a non rare, you should have the same sense of satisfaction, especially if its a big one!HooCairs wrote:Will be interesting to see how the community reacts to a new animal after 5 months since the last one, and then you can be lucky to find one.

My hunting comment was allegorical in nature to demonstrate a things worth. I apologize if you were unable to grasp that.gas56 wrote: but I don't have to back myself up in a game to prove how hunting is IRL.
Some months ago you were very vocal in supporting your hunting technique of running around a rez until you spotted something to shoot. You maintained that position by saying "this is just a game & I can play it anyway you want". You know, you are right. You can play it anyway you like. However when a new species comes along that will make your preferred hunting style impractical if not impossible you want it changed. That I take issue with.gas56 wrote: But remember this is just a game as I do and you'll be fine with it or maybe you won't, that is up to you..............
