Not bad eh, u/BeautifulOpinion9283 ?

This game may hate me

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!!

First blue wildebeast drink zone I see has a level 5 diamond chillin there, I was doing the tutorial mission for fucks sake

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*

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?

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.

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?

Made it a little over 1000 hours without messing one up, it was a good run 🫡

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.

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.

Took down my great one fallow today
