Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

My thoughts:
  • Still think it’s an animal pack. Remember with grasslands and arid they only teased 1-3 animals of the pack, plus we already have Asian scenery, would be kinda dumb to get yet another Asian scenery set.
  • I’m afraid this will be another region pack. I liked it for Oceania cause of the scenery, but it really feels like we’re missing the point of animal packs from the beginning. Animal packs are supposed to be diverse, and if this is an Eurasia pack, it’s not going to be. And saying “well it combines Asia and Europe” doesnt prove its diverse. A lot of people combine both continents into one section in zoos cause it’s easier, so this is basically a region pack.
I’m disappointed. Regardless of my heavy bias, they really had the opportunity to make a good diverse animal pack that spreads itself around the world with mountains. We’re probably not gonna get a baboon, if anything if the clown monkey gets in I wouldn’t be surprised.

Welp for the posetives if its an asia pack hamadryas baboon is very much still on the table, which would mean a huge upgrade to the 4 so far

can a mod tell my why i got issued a warning for saying f
You didn't just say f. The warning should have made it perfectly clear what it was for. Also if you would like to check the forum rules you'll see that publicly discussing moderation isn't allowed, and the way to proceed should you wish to challenge any decisions :)
 
Can someone level with me, there is actually a very real nonzero chance we get the raccoon dog in this pack, right? That's not just me seeing what I want to? An apparent focus on greater Asia, no canid so far this year. I'm not saying it's definite by any means, but... it's actually finally possible, isn't it?
I would say its nonzero BUT I'm almost as desperate for raccoon dogs as you are...
 
IF its a scenery pack. That could be made up for with one thing.
and one thing only. a new canid color morph!
I'd be fine with the scenery pack honestly...
 
I am very confused about what is the theme supposed to be haha. As for the animal choices, I am not dissapointed so far except for the Saiga. Happy for anyone who wanted this animal but I have no use for it. Still, Takin and Wolverine are great picks, Sloth Bear is a wildcard but it is nice to see a new bear (although I hoped for Spectacled).

Gift shops are looking phenomenal. One thing I wonder is if there is a possibility of Sloth Bear carrying cubs on its back, if so it would be groundbreaking and would really make this bear unique among the other ones. Fingers crossed this is the case and I hope they would also update the Anteater to do it.

Still thinking it will be an animal pack, very curious what the remaining animals are.
 
Even Southeast Asia has barely any of the essential hoofed mammals it needs, like the chevrotain, anoa, banteng, deer or warty pigs
Ohhh! Chevrotain! I forgot...
My dream is therefore: Tanuki, Greater Malayan Chevrotain, AND probably Demoiselle Crane.
Add those three to what has been "confirmed" and throw in maybe a koi pond that I think @Spiderhawk came up with and its a contender for best DLC of all time.
 
I just watched the livestream on my way home from work and I have to say I am pretty excited.

My first thought was “oh no, worldwide farewell pack” but I think it’s pretty clear it’s either Asia or Eurasia and I’m leaning towards Asia.

It’s true that the saiga isn’t the most versatile species if you are building realistic zoos but we know that Frontier like to add some unusual picks and I have come to accept that.

I’m actually looking forward to using the saiga and can’t wait to see what else is coming.
 
Highly unlikely but if the other three animals were a golden eagle, mandarin duck and markhor? That would be wonderful. Golden eagles are one of my favourite birds so PLEASE
Golden Eagle would be the biggest suprise honestly so much I can't even see it happening by next year, here we are expecting like a boring snake in the box to not be disappointed.
