DLC18 discussion and predictions

I'm coming out of hibernation to say that we NEED spider monkeys
Knowing Frontier, it's more likely that we get spider pigs instead

TBH, I'm still pretty convinced that at some point down the line they'll release those pre-order bonus animals. Minimal effort, animals people really want... And the people who pre-ordered and got them as a bonus don't lose anything because they (a) got them for free, and (b) got access to them really early.
 
Call of the Wild (hunting game) just released a nepal themed map I'd like to have in PlanetZoo xDD (for fall or winter DLC)
What do you think? Would you like DLC like this and which animals would you choose if we had that 5-8 limitation?
The map has:

Jus saw this! Those sales must be really nice... Of course, I'm wondering if it's too late? I'd imagine a lot of people have already purchased the game and I'm kinda doubtful if people would be willing to purchase it twice?
Nuh. Been following console comments for a while and it appears many people didnt buy game due to lack of physical copy. Frontier is releasing it now to reach said players.

Personally I'd change some animals in order to replace them with Pallas cat and Tibetan antelope. My other wishlist for the theme would be Kiang/Onager and muskdeer. But I like those other choices too.

I believe you. And that makes sense.

But this is what's so wild about Internet behavior: The comments are like, 50% people complaining because they just bought the digital game; 40% people asking for the game to come to consoles that can't handle it, controllers for PC, or something else; and 10% people excited about the physical release. :ROFLMAO:

People just can't be happy...

Sidenote but i find it hilarious that by being a trophy hunting game, cotw has a drastically different animal selection from PZ.

As a example all of the cotw birds are fowls in contrast with pz where the majority are ratites (and hence the games don't share a single bird specie) or that despite having the almost same ammount of ungulates, pz is still more diverse as perisodactylus are non-existant on cotw.
 
So this is gonna seem like a weird side tangent, but for all the themes for the next dlc which one do you think is the least likely?

Mine is currently islands, as much as I currently want it I just don’t think it will happen. This is because many of the main focuses for an island themed pack are already in game. The Foosa, Tasmanian Devil, Kiwi, Little Blue Penguin, Japanese macaque, and Red Crowned Crane are already in game. At least for animals I would put at the top of an islands list. So what does that leave?

The tree kangaroo would be perfect for an island pack, I can see the poster already! The problem is the pack filler would most likely be some birds. Which, outside of base game and one single building pack, we have never got more than 1 at a time. Caribbean flamingo, brown pelican, Nene, Victorian crowned crane, Guam rail, rockhopper penguin, etc. which all make a very good argument for getting in game. Now could we also get a lowland anoa, raccoon dog, and another lemur? Definitely. I do think Frontier cares about the theming and animal choices, and an island pack with one bird or no birds just wouldn’t cut it. Here especially more than other packs, birds are incredibly famous for being endemic to islands around the world.

That also leaves the potential chance of props and thematic building, in which case Oceania and Tropical pretty much negate the chances of getting an island pack.

So overall it’s one of the packs I expect the least, if we even get more than this next one.

Pick a theme any theme because we know we won't get it right lol

If I had to pinpoint any theme I found say themes regarding asia so himalayas, highlands, india or whatever has a slim chance of happening after last years round of dlc. Eurasia, tropical, and arid kind of crossed off any major runners for asian themes, with the chance of either south america or a random theme like barnyard likely happening.

I Mean Frontier Could Pull A Frontier And Include: Walrus, Island Fox (A Small Fox Found On The Channel Islands), Japanese Serow And, Marine Iguana (Typical Barely/ Non-existent In Captivity Choice). Then Have Corquerel's Sifaka For A Secondary Flagship So They Would Only Need To Do One Bird, Assuming We Also Get A Tree Kangaroo.

Man an Island animal pack truly has the potential to be such a banger. Awesome selection of groundbirds, cool primates with crested macaque, javan lutung, aye-aye and sifaka, even a couple cool reptiles with the radiated tortoise and cuban iguana.
But yeah not really that likely given it lost alot of its strong candidates in the last yeah.

A mountain pack i can still see happening, but as a scenery pack instead of an animal one (depending on how many dlcs there will be ofc, as a final pack its rather unlikely imo).
Bear, Baboon, Markhor and a pheasant would still be a great roster, throw in a himalayan buidling theme and a new set of rocks and you got a pretty nice Pack
 
I like the exhibits, they let me use animals that wouldn’t normally be able to get in a zoo game like this one. But the whole exhibit system, the exhibit boxes and WTE, all feel like they could have had so much more potential than they currently do.
I love the animals in them I just think the actual boxes are horribly desingned
Didnt even know physical releases were still a thing lol
They are still very much a thing with console players and collectors

depending on the map (cough cough australia) 90% of the roster is ungulates mainly deer which cotw definitely has a better asian deer roster than planet zoo.
 
Islands won’t happen cause there’s no iconic animals left other than the tree roo.

Anything to do with an old world continent is out of the question because we’ve gotten packs for all 3 twice.

Probably not a biome pack since we haven’t gotten one in forever and there really isn’t many left except mountains which doesn’t feel summer-y to me. Rainforest could work but we’ve had that so many times already.

Then there are other random themes that also make no sense like an endangered pack cause we already have one, or a specific region pack like India which isn’t happening cause we’ve never gotten a country pack plus we just got Asian animals.

So for me, that leaves 2 options, Latin America or Keeper Collection - I just see the collection pack as too likely I can’t think of any other scenario even for a LA pack. It truly feels like the end and a keeper collection pack is the perfect way to end things, definitely not changing this idea at least til we get more info.
