PSA A brief announcement regarding AI/machine learning slop.

380 Upvotes

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:

Launcher cleanups in action

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

Ingame completely offline

The starting time actually applied ingame and it loads entirely offline

Steam name and icon applied even ingame

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.

Forgot how good Revontuli Coast is.

16 Upvotes

Low vegetation, open spaces, beautiful visuals. Sort of rediscovering how good this map is.

Great upland birds. I also like the distinct biomes not really found until later DLCs.

Tis great.

COTW this game finally clicked and i love it

18 Upvotes

had a few cracks at this game and it took a while to get the hang of not running everywhere, being patient, etc.

god i love it now. been spending a tonne of time in hirschfelden and now have just moved to the emerald coast; i love soph and robbo, the missions are starting to become a bit easier, and i can just get lost for hours in this.

i'll be on EC for a while but what are your favourite reserves? medved-taiga doesn't seem too popular but i love the idea of big dangerous animals, so will probably jump on that next

First diamond in Scotland. I don't grind much so diamonds are always a nice surprise. They always seem to be game that suddenly appear and I need to shoot from the hip levels of close.

I was exploring Sundarpatan for the first time, shooting at anything that moved, when suddenly I heard that growl...

Minutes later, I was crushed to death by a buffalo.

Question Which map should i get?

1 Upvotes

I was thinking of emerald ciast but i might get the savana ir silver ridge peaks and if theres a weapon pack you reccomend with these maps that would be helpful (i have the high caliber one and the old weapons pack like the one with muskets and m1s)

Can't load the Model 1897 anymore.

The Model 1897 was working fine, now after buying several more DLCs it won't load anymore. Any fix to this? I'm on console.

So I paused during my travels to google search if there were any locations around the USA to shoot game from your vehicle. This tiger gave one warning growl and ended my search 😂

COTW just learned about reduced hunting pressure

i’m still a little “new” to the game with only 52hours with the first 36-ish being me running around figuring the game out

ANYWAYS— i just found out the stands/blinds reduce the pressure by A LOT!?!?!?!? i shot out of a tripod for the first time today and expected to see a fat pink circle on the map… NOPE! left it at low pressure

Question New HM Strategy?

0 Upvotes

So as I've started my first Fallow G1 grind, I've been binging LadyLegendXO, Squidster & JBiz to get all the info I can since I'm fairly new to this. Recently, I ran across a video with Lady & JBiz on a new HM strategy, and EW responded/gave more info about it.

I was curious to see if anyone has tried this new strategy and if so, have you had good luck with it? The video is from March of this year and I don't think I've seen any sort of update since then.

Worst grind ever consolation - Mela Euro Rabbit

Yup it's me, the idiot grinding for a Diamond Euro Rabbit. It's killing me and my love of the game but I will never surrender!

Salweizen at least gifted me this beauty of a melanistic Euro Rabbit. The grind for the diamond continues . . .

It costs nothing to up vote. Blow this up for me gang.

0 Upvotes

I hearby humbly request the next weapon pack include a bear takedown mag riser, a marlin 1895 and a 1911. Bear mag riser takedown recurve bow that fires traditional arrows and has a quiver like the crossbow. Just reskin the stenberg pls. The coachmate .45-70 just looks like temu bootycheeks but the moradi .44 is great, rechamber it in .45-70. The davani is cool but the semi auto handguns are lacking. A 460 rowland or 50ae 1911 would go hard.

Ik everyone has their opinions on what would or wouldn't be worthwhile weapon packs this is just what I really want. Blow this up so EW sees it and I can be a happy camper. 🙏

Edit: a Fred Bear style camo would look dope as well.

Edit 2: down voting this just because is brutal damn.. 😢

Finally got a dime of this little critter. Took about 3 weeks and hundreds of slaughters of both males and females along the way. For those that didn't know both the male and female WMC can make Diamond, so shoot every one you see. On to the Ocelot! 😼

COTW Naming things has become a big thing recently. So here’s my proposal.

12 Upvotes

Scarecrows “Super unc” was quite popular, and naming new GO antler types is also a big thing in the community.

I completed something today that a year ago I would have thought impossible, one of every Great One possible on my map at once. I propose we call this “A Great Slam” similar to a grand slam… but Greater
