theHunter Classic News

Just a small release this time, a little content, some improvements, a few bug fixes.

[h2]New content:[/h2]

• 3 new engraved scopes, as requested for the engraved weapons. We've added engraved variations of the 3-9x40mm Anschütz Rifle Scope, the 5.5-22x56mm Rifle Scope Eagle Mk I, and the 12x50mm Rifle Scope.
  

[h2]Improvements:[/h2]

• Lost Connection screen has been improved. Now it is more informative and gives the opportunity to reconnect manually if you lost the connection after an automatic attempt.
  
• Any lists leaderboards, ranks, achievements, etc) are now listed alphabetically.
  
• Added an outline to the Tree Stands (similar to the e-caller), so you won't spend time looking for it anymore. Just press the E button (default) and the nearest Tree Stand within 50 meters will be outlined.
  
• The long-awaited feature by many, which will be also hated by some - starting a new day will also remove one of your competition attempts, as it has been used as an advantage by some players (due to the re-generation of the animal population on a day change). Be aware of your remaining attempts if you're running out of attempts. If you let a hunt roll over and have no attempts left, none of the animals harvested on that new day will count for a competition.
  
• The free camera in the inventory now takes pictures at the players' resolution, where previously it was limited to 640*480.
  
• More scopes now available for the .308 Bolt Action Rifle.
  

[h2]Bug fixes:[/h2]

• .223 ammo weight was incorrectly rounded in inventory.
  
• Freelook icon was incorrect after using binos or raising a gun.
  
• Some bundle names were missing in the purchase history.
  
• Improvement to the League scoring system to avoid the issue we had recently.
  
• Aimpoint H34L red dot missing when aiming - fixed.

[h2]Howdy Hunters![/h2]

Whether you're celebrating around this time of year or observing something a little more solemn, we hope you're safe and well. If you have the time with everything going on, join in the tomfoolery with a Mission and 3 tiered comps over the space of a week and the Community Campaign. That's right, a rising tide lifts all ships so team up as a community to slay enough Fools Turkeys. You'll see a bar for community prizes on the mission pop-up (use the banner in the launcher or on the website). Harvest at least 30 to qualify, slaughter more to fill the bar and gain all your prizes. You do not need to play in multi or single-player, it's up to you how you do your slaying. Gender does not matter. Any Fools Turkey (there are 4 types) harvested in the EHR will count.


Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! All hunters with enough Fool Turkeys at the end of April the 11th will win Community Prizes!


In order to take part in the event, you will have to click on the big banner you will find in the Launcher (or Website) home page:



Please read on to familiarize yourself with the rules of the event.



Event Duration: 7 days

Start: 5 April 2023 (Wednesday) - morning

End: 11 April 2023 (Tuesday) - 23.59 UTC





The more Fools Turkeys the Community harvests, the more in-game prizes each player is rewarded. Remember you personally need at least 30 Fool Turkeys to receive prizes. There are 4 colour variations, and they all count. This is how the prize pool looks:





This year's mission is called Egg-sackly

Howdy Hunter, I'm sending you undercover to protect our Easter Eggs. It's a great honor, so no arguing. If everyone does their part, we'll be through the collections and the cads before you know it. I need you to rescue some endangered eggs and punish some animals with a reckless disregard for rarities. Don't listen to anything they say, all perpetrators were witnessed committing these crimes, so don't let them try to get out of it. Expect them to have ditched the contraband by now. Here's the list, get going before it expires.



The mission will last through the event duration from the 5th April to the 11th April.



Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:





Completing Competitions won't earn you anything special for the campaign, except that warm feathery feeling of accomplishment, and isn't that enough? That and a shot at some em$ and a trophy, of course.

Prizes for the competitions look like this:



Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:





What would a game be without rules?

We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners' hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.

In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.



And what would an Event be without sales? We're not sure, but we do know that we'd get nasty messages if we skipped them, so we've made sure to put sales in.

Make sure to check out the Sale section to see the full list!



That's all folks, any questions, feel free to post them below.

Enjoy all!
