That’s a good idea! To be honest I’m even game for getting more bats, butterflies, and another sloth. As it stands there just aren’t enough animals to use a WTE all the time. Now if frontier wants to add birds that’s a different story
Interesting theory but following that patter we should get something related to the next DLC not Barnyard or Eurasia, since we are probably getting the DLC before the anniversary.
The same reason i don't think they'll go for macropods or penguins (are too popular and selling point of their packs) would aply to butterflies (although i would really enjoy that) and bats.
But are macropods and penguins really that big of a seller still when we already have 3 of each?
I mean for DLCs yeah i think so.
I mean they did so allready with the red deer so why not?
In a previous post i said why i think the red deer is a different situation that those other animals. But basically, every deer we have is very different and iconic and don't compete with each other in the same way a second kangaroo/wallaby would. And that the animals are not really the selling point of the Europe pack, the pieces are.
Didn't think that the info got deleted from the 2023 Meta page, it was 52 backers, more than all remaining ungulate options, so that is a fair assessment.
Could be any of the three, by the theory, the previous Winter, Spring and Summer spots look to have been influences (I can see I didn't really word it right).
Yeah. I've been saying this since a possible LATAM/Américas pack was a possibility. Is the best way to get BOTH remaining bears species in the game if there is only one DLC left. I guess it can also work for a Zookeeper's collection type of pack. The ABB feels more like anniversary material to me than the spectacled bear though.
Plus, we got a primate (though not the type we were hoping for), and two ungulates. Time for an anniversary carnivore and a bear just feels more likely to me than anything else.
macropods are debatable since each marcopod added is each very distinct so if a similar one entered the base game it could hurt sales of one particular pack. The penguin however is in enough dlc that a base game one is meaningless at this point an antarctic penguin wouldnt stop people from getting aquatic, oceania or africa since for at least 2 of those pack the penguin is not the focus and if people wanted the little penguin specifically there is nothing similar enough they could possibly add same as how basically any Antarctic penguin would be different enough from the african to avoid conflict and unless its the emperor would be different enough from aquatics.
You are totally wrong on that so many people when europe released including me were persuaded by the promise of a proper deer the other animals were good but the fallow deer was the first proper deer that people view as a deer and a quintesetial part of europe.
The only australian animal that wouldnt look out of place in the base game would be the freshwater croc maybe a monitor because we literally only have the saltwater croc in the base game.
Next to the American Black Bear though, none of these are iconic. Don't get me wrong, I would want the Bat Eared Fox more, it's currently my most wanted African mammal, but I can't say any of these are that iconic. Of course, some might say the same for the ABB, so it's all a matter of opinion given where we're at with mammals in the game. Frontier has added all of the undeniably iconic mammals already.
How does everyone feel about the Pallas's cat as an anniversary animal? I don't think it would damage the arid pack and wouldn't compete with the sand cat despite probably reusing its model. Also a small carnivore could be a good addition to the base game roster.
Love it
