Re: My great Conspiracy theory
I bought a 44 mag once to go hunting with. I messed with it for a couple of years, but it wasn't my thing. I like a Hawken for hunting big game. I wish Classic had a better Hawken.

Re: My great Conspiracy theory
Counts were reduced when it went to free to play.1Al wrote:The animals in the whole ER was dramatically decreased in the last years, for numbers and score. Probably after the PB reserve addition. For instance, when I started playing tHC in early 2017 my playstyle was very elementary, I placed a ground blind anywhere, every few minutes I could see many animals go around my location, with high score too. In two hours (real time) of hunting I could capture between 10/20 animals on average (depending on the reserve) remaining still in the same spot. As inexperienced beginner I was able to capture much more animals than today by turning a reserve entirely. If I now place a ground blind or tripod stand in the same (or other) spots, or I use one already permanently there, after two hours very often happens you can't see go around not even a single animal. I've been reporting this big issue for years now. Lately I haven't been playing around much the game, precisely because I'm tired of this now permanent situation, totally ignored by EW staff.HooCairs wrote:Would be interesting to hear how you played before, and how you play now.trulight wrote:Personally I've had to change from my old playstyle after coming back after a while. The way I used to hunt is no longer as effective. Mainly because I feel the populations in general are a lot more sparse, as well as reduction of big animals.
The number of animals seems to have been decreased every time a new animal was added to the same reserve. The only reserve that could easily take more animals without any changes to the exiting numbers, is Redfeather Falls. I would love to see a bird there, such as Turkey or a North American grouse type (copy and paste wood grouse to what ever type is closest ).

Re: My great Conspiracy theory
The devs still claim nothing has changed. I've only been in Classic for 2 1/2 years and I see a big difference.
