Leeanda Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Does anyone else get annoyed about the moose spawning! It's so inconsistent! I have just spent ages in Timberwolf mountain waiting for it to turn up! After about 3 weeks it finally showed only to turn round start running then literally disappear in front of my eyes! ( Not sure if that was a glitch though) ! Then I didn't see it again for another 2 weeks and it disappeared again ! It drives me crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 @Leeanda What do you call an inconsistent moose? I don't know, sometimes George, sometimes Frank, sometimes Martha, sometimes you shouldn't even bother cause it won't even show u.... oh, look, it's here and I just got trampled to death. It thought it was a kitten and was trying to be playful. [Good, hey, just made it up on the spot.] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of you're better jokes, but still a "groan" from me I'm afraid! 🙂 The point is that they are so random it's a pain having to wait around or go wandering for miles to not get anything at the end of it! Mind you there's not much use for them after craftings done except meat! But I like killing the stupid things!

Bimbobjoejr. Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 yeah, the moose spawns are kind of annoying, they always spawn at the least opportune times. Like when you're just trying to get somewhere or escape wolves or the cold or something, but never when you need to actually hunt one. It seems like they appear when I don't have my rifle or have more than plenty of food already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rifle ammo isn't exactly abundant and it can take several to bring the moose down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another sim game perhaps 😀 Nah. Moose can be pretty dangerous, just as likely to inconsistently try and kill you. Definitely worth thinking about though. The Long Dark: Episode 7 - You Are The Moose. You are the moose and you must try and survive in the wilderness for as long as you can. Actually................................................. A reverse game, when you are the wildlife!!!

A bit of danger would make it more challenging! We are kind of the wildlife already,as in everything wants to kill us! But if done in a slightly different context could prove interesting!

Also devs, still available to throw ideas around. Canadian wilderness sim. Would be interesting to have an "animal instinct" element where depending on certain conditions being met, said animal automatically undertook a task - overriding the player. Not a main feature and not frequent but there. A sim where just sometimes you were NOT in control. Some would find it a bit annoying (which it would be to a degree, but also, it would make sense within the context), eg. animal super hungry and lashed out automatically at anything edible nearby, even if something else bad could come of it.

yogi Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 10 hours ago, Leeanda said: I can still here them ....😁 The Long Day Part sim, part survival - manage the northern Canadian wilderness for as long as it will let you. You are the fauna of Great Bear Island. Manage and survive the delicate balance and life and death in the cold. Take control of groups of animals to guide them towards their greatest chance of survival. But be warned, there will be crucial, often conflicting decisions to make at every turn, while you try and maintain the balance in the ecosystem. And things will not always go as you will intend them to - the electomagnetic wave disturbed more than we ever realise. * Each little grouping of animals have tasks and things to do survive (but not in too grindy a sort of way). Short term and long term goals, some of which may conflict with others you are managing. Each animals has pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses. eg. Wolves - Good hunters, bonus at nights but easily taken down by those higher up. Moose - Slow moving, but powerful. Rabbits - Fast movement, can eat almost anything, but easy prey. etc etc etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manolitode Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I find that the moose spawns are still sporadic enough to elicit surprise and pleasure. It wasn't long ago that I realized a moose could spawn on the unbroken Desolation Point bridge, it managed to elude me for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are there lots of different animals not in Tld 1? Could be a great game. Unpredictable ! Nearly forgot what I was going to say.... Still hear something whirring ...

Done. For now. And no, there are bears. Sorry, not sorry. The range of animals would be similar to what we see in the current game. Maybe a couple of other additions, but not an entirely new thing. Also, it's not a zoo sim, so there isn't an example of every possible creature that has ever been. Has to fit within the "story". Maybe a Yeti appears at each solistice or something. Are they native to that part of the world? A Wendigo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't expect there to be lots of animals just a lot more than there is now! Flippin' bears! The only bear I like isn't even a bear technically! Red panda! They really don't fit TLD though!

Sure, the overally quantity of animals would go up a little to make it more of a game. Not massively though, as there still isn't enough food to support a rapdily growing ecosystem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeanda Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) That yeti is bugging me! Can't remember where it was! Not sure it was even this game,there's one in gtav as well that's why I'm confused! Hoping there's some new animals in episode 4 though! Would they all be free roaming like they are now, or some "caged" as it were! Or can you build/craft? Edited October 3, 2021 by Leeanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimbobjoejr. Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Maybe like, "The ghost", break it up into a two part challenge. "The ghost" part 1: You're a supernatural investigator and catch wind that there's something lurking around in Ash canyon, you must head out and investigate the lead. difficulty: 3 or 4 Travel from the lookout tower in mystery lake to the gold mine in Ash canyon within 13 days. "The ghost" part 2: The legend is true, and you've been harshly attacked by the beast, larger than anything you've encountered. You must put an end to this creature and spare the region of such horror. difficulty: 5 Retrieve the rifle from the foreman's cabin and put an end to the monster, you have 15 days to complete this.
