What's new in theHunter Client 819 v20190112902
Feb 12, 2019
- Hello Hunters,
- How are you this week? This week I am going to ask you if you actually enjoy reading about my archery progression and hunting adventures? As I was thinking last night, perhaps it is a drag to read and you are just here for the game news? So please let me know in the comments, no offense will be taken, I thought I should just give you guys a say in it all.
- This weeks video is something that one of my rifle friends showed me, he likes to give me stick about converting to archery, so in jest he suggested I could use one of these. Pretty impressive bit of gear, however for me it’s kinda like driving one of those three wheeled motorbikes. Remember this shows real footage, so if you prefer to keep your fix virtual, DO NOT CLICK Here.
- Doc Themed Event
- Well, either you guys didn’t like the wolves, or the prizes were good enough to tempt even the wolf lovers to participate! Either way, good stuff and it was awesome to see the community come together to achieve a common goal! There will be other events along the same lines coming up in the not to distant future. However they will have much harder goals!
- We originally announced this week that the event would come to an end early. We did this with good intentions, as we had more events ready to go and were excited to be able to provide an action packed month. We are sorry to the people that we unintentionally infuriated, the event will stay open the original time frame so everyone has a chance to harvest their 25 wolves.
- Magpie Goose Missions
- Today we release Magpie Goose missions, it is a super fun and challenging mission pack, that I am sure you will enjoy! Good luck!
- Update About Memberships and Business Model
- Yesterday we announced that we are revising the business model for theHunter: Classic. Make sure you head over to our forum and have a read!
- Rare and Trophy of the Week
- These Weekly competitions are super popular. The Trophy of the Week gets selected on Monday’s and Rare of the Week gets selected on Wednesday’s.
- So, if you have shot a rare or high scoring animal from this week and want a chance to win, then share them in the correct thread on our forum, don’t forget to mention the score!
- This Week's Winners
- The ‘Trophy of the Week’ is this great photo of a Sitka Deer! It was shot by ‘Tanngnjostr’ with a great score of 112.833! A very nice trophy pose, congrats!
- The ‘Rare of the Week’ goes to ‘InstinctiveArcher’ for this Albino Grey Wolf, with a score of 14.37, congratulations, a rare wolf is very nice!

- Hello Hunters,
- In this status update: news about the EW team, information about the upcoming reserve and the new animal revealed, so read on!
- On the hunt for an awesome frontend developer
- Sadly, our backend developer Adam and frontend developer Herman have left Expansive Worlds for other adventures, which means that we are short on the web staff at the moment and things might require additional time to get fixed and updated. A new backend developer is already on his way, but we’re still on the lookout for a talented frontend developer to fill in Herman’s shoes. If you know someone who might fit the role, send them our way! Here is the detailed job description.[avalanchestudios.com]
- It’s gonna be mountains!
- The work on the new reserve continues and we’re happy to tell you that it’s going to be an Alps inspired reserve. It will feature ample meadows, shady mountains, lavish spruce and a sparkling creek. Once we’re ready, we’ll share more details and some screenshots with you, for now just rest assured that the new reserve will come with a couple of surprises.
- You know Dasher and Dancer…
- Here comes the most exciting piece – the mysterious new species. Well, not that mysterious, since hundreds of people hit the nail on the head with their guesses. Yes, it’s a reindeer and it’ll come to Hemmeldal. Here[news.thehunter.com] you can see some screenshots of this gorgeous boy for you to savour, please bear in mind that it’s still being tweaked and some minor changes might be added before the actual release.

- Hi hunters, it's status update time!
- Reindeer is here
- As we announced in the game update, the herd of reindeer is now migrating through Hemmeldal, shaking their majestic antlers all over the area.
- Here are some gameplay notes for you to keep in mind: The herd is broken up into smaller groups which cross over the borders, move across the reserve and cross the border again, leaving Hemmeldal. The game mechanic is similar to that of the waterfowl. If a reindeer is injured, the migratory behaviour gets cancelled to prevent it from being out of reach of the hunter.
- Hunting reindeer is different from other deer species. They are always on the move, stopping only to feed. This will make spotting and stalking easier if players cooperate: by helping each other, players can pinpoint the reindeer and relay the information to other players who can get ready to give the animal a warm welcome.
- Reindeer also are less attracted by callers. However, using an antler rattle[www.thehunter.com] will attract males looking for trouble.
- New reserve sneak preview
- The new Alpine reserve is slowly emerging and today we're ready to share some screenshots with you. Please bear in mind that the work is ongoing, and some things are subject to change.
- You can see the screenshots on our blog[news.thehunter.com]:
- Once again, we'd like to ask for your ideas and inspiration when it comes to naming the new reserve. It has become a great theHunter tradition to come up with reserves' names with the collaborative help of the community (Hirschfelden was initially a suggestion by community member MonacoSteve and Rougarou Bayou was brought up by player Mills), and we're happy to continue with it. Your name suggestions must reflect the soul and nature of the new reserve as well as fit nicely all the other geographical names in the EHR. Your suggestions are very welcome in this thread[forum.thehunter.com].
- User survey
- It's been a while since we ran a player survey, and with all new players having joined us following the Steam launch, we thought it's time to do it again. As usual, we're asking for your help to set priorities for the future development of the game, but please do not make assumptions of the future content and features, based solely on the fact that they were mentioned in the survey.
- The survey is up and running and will be open until September 7th midnight CEST. You can only participate once. You can choose to remain anonymous or fill in your theHunter name, in the latter case you will automatically take part in our em$ draw, during which we will randomly choose three players who have completed the survey and will add 1000 em$ to their accounts. Please note that even if you let us know your name, the information you provide will not be stored with your account details, shared, sold, distributed or used in any other way that may harm you.

- Sneak peek competition – Winners
- We’ve received 280 correct answers to our the competition to guess the animal and reserve[news.thehunter.com]. Much more people guessed right, but they didn’t qualify for one or another reason (their guesses were either not submitted in the specified forum thread, or after the deadline, or mentioned only the animal, or made several guesses). We accepted both ”caribou” and ”reindeer” as correct replies, because those are two names for the same species used in different areas of the world. Since Hemmeldal is set on our European inspired continent, we decided to use the local name ”reindeer”. Here are the names of the 10 winners, chosen randomly from 280 people, who will receive a new reindeer rattler caller, a large bottle of scent eliminator and, if applicable, a one-week license to hunt the very same.
