Hog Collection mission. Is it harvest "a" warthog or three?

[southofpegasus]

I don't usually do quality control work for free but I figured I'd toss EW a bone. The Hog Collection mission says,

"Find tracks from 3 different warthogs at night
Harvest a warthog"

Easy enough, find tracks from three different warthogs at night and then kill one. However, the Hunternate says,

"[0/3] Find tracks from 3 different warthogs at night
[0/3] Harvest a warthog"

"[0/3] Harvest a warthog"

"[1/3] Harvest a warthog"

"[2/3] Harvest a warthog"

So which is it? Harvest "a" warthog or harvest three warthogs? Spoiler alert, it's harvest three. Yet, when you harvest the third one, you get a notification that objective "Harvest a warthog" is complete. So EW, you need to either change "Harvest a warthog" to "Harvest 3 warthogs" in all locations or change the requirement for the objective to "a" warthog and remove the [0/3] from the Huntermate.

I have noticed several other easily identifiable mistakes with missions and achievements like this one as well. For example, the Hunting Springbok mission said the requirement was to harvest a Springbok in Vuxa however the actual requirement was to harvest a Springbok in Dzonga. Another example, the achievement A Match for the Widowmaker says. "Harvest a cape buffalo downed by the King 470DB" but would only unlock using the King 470DB Zenith and not the King 470DB Apex. It should either unlock with both or specify the Zenith. Anyways, those are a couple of examples of others I've noticed with the missions and achievements. I won't even get into the easily identifiable bugs like the lack of audible animal sounds and track colors not saving properly.

Overall point of this post being... you guys really need to install some quality control measures, i.e., hire some beta testers. If you do already have beta testers, you should probably replace them as they are doing a poor job of identifying easily identifiable mistakes and it's making it look like you guys simply don't care about quality. I understand some of what I've mentioned has or is supposed to have been fixed but my point still stands, your quality control measures are lacking and it shows. A lot.

Thanks for the heads up, as I'm currently on this one as well. The description is definitely vague, and I assumed it was 3 although it says one.

I can't even do the buffalo one because my rifle score isn't high enough to unlock the .470 yet... so gunna put that one off for now.

King of Rifles mission is the same way. It says in the description to harvest one animal with the .470, but on the Huntermate it shows 3 that need to be harvested. Of course I'm stuck now because I don't have it unlocked yet.

It popped for me by ID'ing 3 different Warthog tracks at night and then harvesting a warthog during the day.
My Buffalo mission unlocked with the Apex as it was my only purchase.

I'll add another example of a missed opportunity for an easy catch and fix.

The King of Rifles mission. It says, "Harvest an animal downed with a .470 NE rfile."

However,

A) There is no .470 NE rifle, only the King 470DB Apex and King 470DB Zenith
B) It actually requires the harvest of 3 animals with a 470DB rifle, not 1 with the nonexistent 470 NE

My assumption is they meant the caliber, as in .470 Nitro Express. The Apex and Zenith are chambered in .470 Nitro Express.

I didn't take any screenshots to go along with but...

Canine Disease says to spot 2 side-striped jackals. This objective completed for me by spotting the same one twice.

The Old Way says to track 3 different cape buffalo. This objective completed for me by examining 3 tracks from the same buffalo.
