How far into the story.....

[StuTheMoose]

Does anyone know how far into the story you have to go to get the other crossbow? Really would like it but dont wan't to spend ages doing silly story stuff. I'd rather go without it than be forced into doing story missions, but i can tolerate a couple if we get the crossbow early.

Not cool locking weapons behind the story missions. I know that lots of us just hunt and completely ignore the story stuff.

You'll receive the crossbow Apex Predator after completing the whole story. Crossbow Harpe WonderHit is free for all, can be found in the shop.

Oh, that's a pity. Guess i'll never get it then. Thanks for clarifying anyway.

do you have to buy the alaska dlc to use a crossbow? or is it also added to the base game now?

There are two crossbows. The ugly one that covers 2-5 tier animals is free for everyone and the other one that covers 2-6 tier animals (faster and heavier bolt) is tied to Alaska DLC, where you have to finish the story to get it.

It really is stupid locking a weapon after compliting the story. Visually looking weapon sure no problem, but type of weapon itself???

In principle, they can do whatever they want, someone is always complaining. The crossbow will make some people want to complete the missions because they really want it. So there is at least an incentive. I want it because it looks better and covers everything from 2 to 6.

A crossbow is included in the base game without you having to buy the Alska DLC. A second one can only be obtained via the DLC.

Yep, it’s how they roll. Many players clearly told them, even before the release of the game, that they don’t want to play any story mode, just hunt. So what do the developers do? They lock a weapon behind the DLC story, the WHOLE story. So unless players buy the DLC and then WORK through the story they won’t be able to use a weapon… Just another brilliant move. xD

I really like this game and will get second DLC because deluxe edition. But if they keep pushing on story stuff locking stuff in game. Where almost 90% players does not care... I know I will not get good reputatin and their DLCs wont be so popular. I got all COTW DLCs but that game has silent mc no story (except minor tasks you can fully ignore and just hunt) I will be really careful in getting Way of the hunter DLCs

Going to count this as an L...

I'm not a big fan of grinding through the story. I do them, but usually one or two at a time, then move on to free hunting. I'm all for there being a perk to completing the story, but the only level 6 crossbow in the game is a pretty big ticket item. It should not be locked behind completing the story.

Yeah, I also think this game is all right, but they are messing things big time, making really bad choices. Until recently I was intent on writing an overall positive review of the game (recommending it), but now I am not sure and will wait a little bit more.

The way I see it, it seems they are either deaf and blind to what people write on the Steam forums and just listen to certain people on discord (you can find them here making personal attacks and degrading comments with those they disagree with), or they are intentionally pushing an ideology. Given that they have pretty much shown that they think of men and women as being the same and also using political terms as “safe space” and such I wouldn’t be surprised if they were pushing an ideology. Virtually all traditional male hobbies and activities have been subverted by ideologues to accommodate a minority of women who partake in them, so I guess it is unrealistic to expect hunting games to be exempt.

Is there any picture of the crossbow?

Dear Armus, it's alright that people have different opinions about things. We at NRG value constructive criticism and we really do try to listen and implement every and all relevant suggestions that players here propose - see, so far, as requested, we added colorblind options, FOV slider, tweaked audio ambient level, added new firearms, lone deer and more. And there are many ongoing tweaks and newly expected features that we hoped you guys will like.
I am sorry that you feel offended by adding the female character, believe me, that was not our intension. We are listening to all this feedback here and we're discussing this issue in our team.

BTW. Would you mind to find me the thread where we personally attacked someone and degraded their comment? I'd want to see what happened, since I can't find anything like that.

Thank you for bearing with us!

Dear Miriam, you misunderstand, I didn’t mean to say that any of the developers made personal attacks and degrading comments, I was referring to certain players who did that. Just to be clear, so far I think the developers interactions were quite fair.

I know you do listen to at least some of the input and I appreciate your recent efforts to be more active on the Steam forums. Some of the changes you already made and plan to do, are very welcome as well. My critics lie mainly in a seemingly poor understanding of your target audience. I guess in many things you simply follow trends, but I hope that you can see how many long standing franchises are being destroyed by extremely poor decisions from their developers. I hope you’ll do better.

I am all for including the chance for both genders to play with their matching in-game character, but this is not the way to do it.

I am not offended that you added a woman as the main and only playable character for a map (which I was really looking forward to), but I am disappointed. Believe it or not, I am on my very best behavior on these forums. If I were to get offended you’d know it.

[Tigerlily]

I love the new map it is really beautiful. There are a lot players who like the story modes I am one of them. I like to do both just hunting and the story missions. I like how it gives you a choice you can either continue with the story or just explore and hunt. The story helps to open up the map.
