It´s Wednesday and status update time!

This weekend we’ll be running a special Tripod multispecies competition on Loggers Point – all preys must be shot from a Tripod. At the same time, starting at Friday 00:00 CET, we are giving away a free Tripod with every purchase of 5000 em$ in the Hunter Store!

Also new for the Tripod competition is a new type of condition – limited number of attempts – designed to fight the problem with spawn mashing. It’s quite simple, the number of attempts (game sessions) you have to get your entry into a competition is limited. Every time you start a new game session at a reserve where there is a competition active one attempt will be deducted. Once all attempts are used up no more entries will be registered for that competition. It’s possible to inactivate (pause) a competition, if you decide to do something else for a while, while inactivated no attempts are deducted.
The intention is to implement this condition (and possibly others too) throughout some of the standard competitions as well in a near future, in order to enforce fair play amongst all hunters. You´re all in favor of fair play aren´t you?

What about the new reserve then? Everything is going well and we´re in the final stages of tweaking a lot of small stuff and will get into more extensive testing shortly. An exact release date is not yet decided but we´re still aiming for the second half of March, which we should make if we don´t run into any totally unforeseen problems. We´re pretty sure you´re curious about the new animal and what that one is but we still want to keep that as a little surprise!

We´ll also start looking through all your suggestions for the name of the new reserve and try to conjure up something we think fits nicely. Thank you for all your suggestions, a lot of them really help as we get a lot of food for thought.

Last but not least, there has been a few of our dedicated long time players being slightly upset about the recent changes we have made to the old warden membership. We hope your playing experience doesn´t get too much of a blow by this and before we say; that´s that, we want to give all of you a big thanks for supporting theHunter while it was still very much in its infant stage (and it still counts just as much).

Happy hunting!
