DLC18 discussion and predictions

Look, I am all for critisizing something we paid money for, but complaining about a FREE GIFT, a FREE ANIMAL is just wild to me and absolutely entitled. Frontier is a company. They do not need to give us free stuff for ANYTHING. And if they aren't really paid for their work (through DLC revenue) it's absolutely to be expected that a free animal is an "easy clone".

I never wanted the African Leopard and the stupid big 5 thing drove me up a wall. They are rarely kept in zoos. But as a free animal and not as an occupied (and paid) spot in a DLC, I would not even dream of complaining. Sheesh...
THANK YOU this is what I was trying to say earlier. We’ve seen JWE2 get several budget cuts at the end of their support so the fact that they could’ve cut this as well but gave us a FREE animal in the first place shouldn’t be something we blow to the ground. It’s literally free, if you don’t want it don’t use it, if you do want it then happy birthday to you it’s free.
 
We don't know that, 1/3 animals the Baboon is not Himalayan, it took us 1000 days to get a monkey I doubt we will get 2 in 1 pack, plus the pack being just Himalayan would be a bit of a bummer when we have a chance to get a sliver of south american rep
Hamadrya's Baboon
Markhor
Palla's Cat
Wild Yak
Spectacled Bear
Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo
Himalayan Monal
 
Pls tell me how the casuals on reddits are screaming of joy seeing they got a big cat with leopard spots three times
I can go right back at ya. Please tell me how all the people on the forums were screaming with joy to see the 4th gross pig?

Casual animal people love the "big ticket" animals like big cats. Zoo nerds like us like the lesser known unique animals...but it's unrealistic to think the bulk of people share our views.
 
Is this the final pack?
We don't know... maybe we'll see something at Christmas... but if not, there's no telling that there won't be new DLC (this time on console and PC at once). Perhaps they'll keep making new content until Planet Zoo 2 is announced? JWE2 basically had a short time between the last pack and the announcement of JWE3, so anything is possible....
Although, I was expecting a secretary bird (because of the dictionary mainly too, besides markhor was in the dictionary too).... To my mind, it's not the last pack, as this is the game that has been in development the longest (under JWE or PC).... In my opinion, if they were to actually end support, they would have said so by releasing e.g. a bigger package or something else in the game.... As indeed all games have had (something deviating from the norm, JWE = pteranodons, PC = a bigger package)
I personally enjoy the markhor and the baboon, the cat is a nice addition too.... It's nice that the african lampart will be free, because I can't hide, I was waiting for it....
I wonder when we will find out what other animals are in the DLC...

I Mean if we are being honest this was one of the most upvoted post on reddit when it came put: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlanetZoo/s/kfguFH64Zo

I'm not a fan of the african leopard overall, at the point that despite african leopards being a core specie in the Dier zoo lore, i have no interest to build for them. But the specie have it "fanbase" and it's definetelly have some love among the more casual players.
 
If the marmot is just a beaver-tail than how is the coati not just a raccoon with a long nose, the walrus not just a obese sea lion cosplaying as a vampire, dik dik not just spring bok but tiny?
I love how the alpine marmot is a tail less beaver/ fat prariedog, but at the same time the african leopard is defended.
Ofcourse not by the same person but it really shows how different people tick regarding newcomers to the game
 
Here's my hope for the roster if this is not the final pack:
  • Pallas cat
  • Hamadryas baboon
  • Markhor
  • Pika or rock hyrax
  • Tibetan fox
  • Mountain hare
  • Ruddy shelduck
  • Instead of an exhibit animal, some Tibetan themed scenery as pictured

Well we did pay for it, 2 years ago in the conservation pack, remember?

They're all visually very different from the animals we already have, and they behave differently.
Meanwhile a marmot is just a beaver minus the tail and the swimming and the beaver pool enrichment... Or, if you wanna, a big prairie dog minus the burrowing mechanic. Plus it just looks boring

I'm thinking of the pack after this being the final with a total of 20 DLC'S and the final being Zookeeper collection in Christmas with Secretary, African Spurred, Sifaka and Echidna.
 
I will be really happy if we somehow get the Barbary sheep.... At the very least the baboons presence indicates that it won't just be animals from "colder" mountains but "warmer" ones as well! I don't see it coming unfortunately.
