BROWN BEAR NEED ZONES IN TRANSYLVANIA ...

[DYEUZ]

... Knowing that the Brown Bear is being tested right now & soon will come to the general public/players, what will happen to the Brown Bear's NZs that I have already found?

People: What do you mean?
Me: I mean, I found a lot of BB NZs since hunting in Trans & all of them, 100% of them, are '' almost never '' visited NZs.
- Will the title change for some of them when he comes in?
- Are the NZs bugged in some way?
- Can it be possible that they are all tagged with that title? Something not right here!
- Where are the '' rarely '', '' often '' visited ones?

Thanks to anyone that knows.

I still don't know exactly what the spawn mechanics are with regard to these so-called zones.

Do animals begin to spawn where we tag those zones? This has been my experience in CoTW for years. Maybe it's the same here.

If so, than anywhere that we tag/click/activate/trigger a zone, we should also expect that species to spawn. So the brown bear should be spawning in the areas that we have already triggered.

This is speculation on my part, but we don't have any real answers. From my own experience this does seem to be the case, but this also has to take into consideration how much hunting pressure there might be on an area, and how sensitive/alert those animals are as a result.

Well now that they are in you have your answer, they remained and changed to the frequency that i guess they were intended too at the start. I realized I didnt have as many as I thought, and have spent a few hours getting need zones updated since release

on current test build there are often need zones, no idea before the current build as I wasn't ready to hunt them yet, still to unlock over half the private area's

i hunted some bears in a hour or two yesterday.
Its easy as ever.
Fastravel to the campfire in the mid and a bit south of the map; sleep to 6-7 O´clock and than either dont move and wait and call em or move slowly because they could be nearby. At the small river are 2 drink places for them; one direct near the campfire and one a few hundred m along the river.

Thanks guys.
I have not yet returned to Transylvania since latest patch.
I'm happy to hear/read that they mow have changed ( NZs ) to fit the '' normal '' life of the Brown Bear.
The intended one anyway.

I have always believed that we are dealing with a computer AI. I never thought that the animals ever created NZ's,more likely NZ's created animals. Could be wrong, but it seems that would be an easier thing to program.

NZ´s are spawn zones ...imo

The animals couldn't create the NZ's because they are connected by trails that run between them, so you're right. If they did, those trails would have to be changing all the time to accommodate. Maybe they do change in some cases and I haven't realized it yet.

But I am sure that these zones are not functioning like the ones in CoTW.

The other question of whether or not these zones cause a certain species or herd to start spawning there, once the zone is tagged, is still an unknown. I tend to think that is the case in both games.

It just seems to me that once you tag an activity zone, in either game, you will start to see more of those animals in that area. UNLESS, there is hunting pressure involved.

its not unknown. On NPV for example is a campfire direct beside a lake. So you can sleep always to 9 o clock and see them spawning at their drink zone. If not, go back in main menue and load game again. sometimes other species spawn at their drink zone at the lake.
But these NZ´s are spawn points

that is loading in at a NZ, they trigger on a fresh reload sometimes if at the start of the NZ timer

I still see animals before I have found the NZ attached to them, once I see the animal I search for the NZ where they were seen

knowing the mechs makes hunting and farming pretty easy if i like to but its not my preferred gaming style at all. . They should do more random things ;-)

YAaWwNnn!

You left out the part where you use the opportunity to declare that CoTW is an arcade game.

And what if that area has hunting pressure that caused those animals to go elsewhere?

Given that animals seem to abandon their usual territories with as little as two kills, than a player will quickly have many areas adjacent to each other that won't have animals using zones the way that you are so often proclaiming.

But if your goal is to bash CoTW at every opportunity than have at it.

?? i bash woth here because i can create a 4star within a few minutes ;-)
