Could Hornbills in Region 11 be any smaller??

IhateCrappyProgramming · June 2014

Wow! Needed a magnifying glass to see the tiny specs flying across my IPad screen. How does someone on a phone see these???

Purple7 · June 2014

You can't! I'm either not seeing them or they are not flying. Haven't achieved it yet.

Try turning the brightness up on your phone/ device. I just got 12 of the little buggers with 1:17 left. Fire away at the pillars.

pistoff · June 2014

Found it more difficult on my Nexus 7, but the iPad is fine. Can shoot 12 with around a minute to spare.

Increasing brightness really helps. I failed the first time, increased the brightness and have not failed since... I've also been able to kill well over 12 most of the time. I completed the hunt quite a few times with 1:30 or more left. They are pretty small but much much easier to see with the brightness turned up.

I had my wife/porter go get me a pair of 2x reading glasses from the dollar store so I could see the hornbills. Look to the 3 left pillars. Lots fly off the tops.

Thanks for the feedback. I have to confess I read that subject line in the voice of Chandler from Friends.

No probs here at all...but then again I am playing on a 36" big screen

Bigger would be better.

I'm wearing a pair of those 99c reading glasses. Am I going to need a second pair? Lol thanks for the tip of where to look for the crazy things. Sweeping back and forth got me nowhere. Off to go upgrade guns some more

I quite liked the challenge of spotting tiny dots in the sky then I used AR with sights and suddenly they look like turkeys

Wish I would have read your post before I wasted 3 hunts on only getting 11 of 12 each time. Thanks for the newest hint

Well hard but dose me head in . Tje redt of lev 11 is sound😊

RitaCarroll · June 2014

Are my glasses getting stronger or are the hornbills getting a little bigger with each hunt .

I've played about 40 hunts on region 11 and have yet to get the hornbills, where they were popping up at least twice per energy refill before.... I wonder if glu is working/worked on making them bigger as there has been a lot of complaints.

DjRadNaD · June 2014

no, you just haven't had them, this always happens to me.. and then the hunt pops up shortly after and again shortly after that time lol

Eli_the_Hunter · June 2014

Right after posting this I got them on the next hunt lol

GAMESLAYER · June 2014

No problem here. I use an assault rifle. Don't use your scope, just use the crosshairs beside it.

Tdub · June 2014

Jeesh...first you ask for the hunts to be more of a challenge, then when they make it so you complain...

David T · June 2014

Glu intentionally made the game more challenging by updating most regions to include less time to hunt, faster animals, less animals, animals that change direction more often, and now Hornbills in the mountains that seem like trying to see moving cars from an airplane. To me it is realistic to not be able to see distant prey without using a scope.

Now as for the 'unintentional' new challenges, like the Hornbills not being visible at all on a 3" x 2" screen without zooming in or the delay in firing to actually hitting the animal because of the CPU processing speed is too slow, well I guess those are more like happy accidents that also increase the realism.

Aaronpatt · June 2014

Try looking immediately up in the sky as far left as you possibly can (might also work to the right). That is where they fly in from and they are much closer and easier to see (and shoot). Works for me.

SubH2O · June 2014

When this thread was started, it was a very different (and more challenging) hunt.
Originally, they stayed in the distance, never came in from overhead, and were almost invisibly tiny.
The hunt was changed in a more recent update to what you are describing. The rest of the thread occurred before the change was made.

PZO · June 2014

I liked the dot sized Hornbills. But I guess making them bigger for the less-Advanced Hunters was a good thing (for them). Can't wait to see what animals come with the next challenge

Cattitude · June 2014

It certainly has changed now. The Hornbills went from being a challenge to being a boring sure thing. I enjoyed it more when it was a hard challenge.

TMK_69 · June 2014

I have to agree! People need to get better, not make the game easier. They need to make it more of a challenge.

jgrammentz · June 2014

I never had a problem with the tiny hornbills, but couldn't see the geese at night. Too many failed hunts trying to find them in a dark night sky.

I completely agree, there are much harder birds to see, the night one, and the region 8 one, but the R11 was just fun

Lowrod09 · July 2014

Keep firing as fast as you can in the first 15 seconds and you can complete the mission within plenty of time to spare.

Could Hornbills in Region 11 be any smaller??
