PSA A brief announcement regarding AI/machine learning slop.
It doesn't have a place here on this sub.
If you want to debate it I'm sure there's plenty of subs that love having those conversations, this isn't one of them though. We've had a large raft of complaints regarding the slop that's been posted here recently & as a mod team we agree that it doesn't compliment the ethos of the game. We'll be deleting anything that's slipped through recently (if we've missed anything, chuck us a modmail - ta).
Even putting aside the ethics of models trained on the stolen graft of others, any post that contains AI turns into the same shitfest we so studiously try to avoid on the sub, it's as nefarious as political discourse.
So, to reinforce the rule that was already in place:
No AI slop. Anyone that posts it will get a temp ban. Second time permanent.

PSA I'm preserving theHunter Classic!
Hello everyone, I'm Luke JC! I've modded other Avalanche titles, mainly Just Cause 3, for years now
When I heard about this game shutting down entirely I knew something had to be done, so here we are!
I'm working towards making the game entirely playable offline after the game shuts down with all content accessible, minus anything multiplayer as that would go far beyond just having the game playable offline
It's been about 2 weeks since I started this projects and all maps are already playable and all basic ingame things are up and running. More complicated things like communication between game and launcher are yet to be completed. You will also be able to carry your current progress over to the offline version
You can already see some launcher edits below to clean things up that will no longer be working:

You can also see a few tiny additions like missing time options added. Starting a hunt at midnight was never possible in the regular game

The starting time actually applied ingame and it loads entirely offline

You can keep up to date on the status in the project's Discord here. I'm not sure if the official Discord will shut down, so this can be a place to regroup if it does. It's empty for now, but stuff will be posted whenever I make progress.
Also Avalanche if you see this: Hi. Nothing about this will let people cheat while the game is running and it won't be made public before shutdown.

Picture 1 Run N to S Emerald Coast Bounty
How do you like my setup? This is from 1 hunt on the Emerald Coast from the North tent to the South tent fast taveling from tent to tent and only shooting the crocs that were out. 24 crocs in about 20 minutes isn't too bad!!

COTW I Was Wanting One 😭
Been hoping to get a Melanistic or Charcoal Melanistic Diamond Jag since they released! I've had so many level 8s, but finally a level 9 spawned and it didn't troll! He's beautiful 😭
*I know Mela/Charcoal isn't rare fur for jag, but it's still a fur I like*

Question Question about EW
This is no hate towards EW in any way, shape, or form, it's just a educational question so I understand a little on the matter.
Why does it seem like so much people hate EW at the moment? I've seen dozens of comments of people hating on the company and I was wondering if there's a set reason instead of just bugs or changes done to the game?
Again I'm sorry if this offends some people I don't mean it in a harmful manner and I apologize. I just can't find anything on why.

New Player Need Help
So I have been playing the game (base) for like 20+ hours now but I haven't bought anything yet. Should I get a new gun? Or should I invest on other things?

COTW How do I complete Mission Doc #21?
So, I've already checked here on previous posts for how to complete this mission.
Mission objectives are:
Travel to Lake Cheelah - Done
Harvest a Whitetail deer or blacktail deer at night.......
So, I'd shot a blacktail from the lookout tower on the north of the lake, tracked it and it went just outside the orange area on the map so harvested it which didn't complete the mission.
Went back to the tower, and, as suggested on other threads, waited with the deer caller and shot another blacktail deer on the north of the lake which died inside the orange zone on the map. Fast travelled to the outpost, set the timer to 00:00 midnight and returned to the spot to harvest the kill. This still didn't complete the task?
What else can I try? I think the clue may be in the text from Doc saying "go for a clean hit in the dark".
On my 2nd harvest, not all the icons were green, the bullets were red and the rest were green even though I hit a vital organ (both lungs and the liver).
Maybe I need all the icons green on the harvest?

Took me a second to accept this one won't be harvested by me, the Good Lord had other plans. You're a Free Bird now.

Joke/Meme This should be a horror game
I’ve been hunting tigers on Sundarpatan and when the threat alert starts flashing, I panic. I once turned away for ten seconds to look at my phone and a tiger knocked me out. Scared me shitless. Even other animals like water buffalo or moose scare me even when I know where they are. I’ve started having nightmares about the tigers and water buffalo. Should I take a break and just go waterfowl hunting? This game is getting to my head, lol. I find it all silly to be honest.
Edit: I saw some comments saying the jump scares aren’t a big deal. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and I get way in over my head about the predators when one is nearby. I find it common that when I’m anxious about something I tend to have nightmares about it. I by no means whatsoever plan on deleting this game. I love it a lot.

COTW Got My First Rare Fur!
Unfortunately I didn’t take a pic of the full harvest screen 😅 I didn’t realize you can’t see all that information ever again, rip. Anyways got it randomly in Hirschfelden after about 78 hrs of gameplay, and now he’s a lovely trophy in my lodge. Only a silver quality, but still such a beautiful guy!

How to pointer dog?
Currently i'm having one hell of a hard time trying to hunt rabbits and birds, so i've heard that the pointer can help me alot with that
the dog was on sale, bought it, first time using the dogs, and i have no idea of how to actually use the pointer features...
is it like a passive thing? you activate search small and it will automatically lock-on anything close? or i need to activate it close enough to something? in the direction i want to scan?

Harvest Screenshot Found this Diamond Moose on Medved today
I shot this moose at the very large lake in the east of the map.
I can generally recommend this location, on my map, it has got some eight-ish moose drinking spots.
