DLC18 discussion and predictions

But we call the others clones cause its the same family/overfamily/rig, meanwhile this one is literally the same species and its not even two visually distinct subspecies like our 3 canis lupus.
Yes its a gift, yes its free but saying you cant criticise it because of it and even worse try to drag down the others in an attempt of "comparison" where there really is none is just wrong.
If thats how people cope with it you do you but just cause its free it doesnt give it a free pass on very valid criticism
"Valid criticism" comes down to very personal opinion.
For me, complaing about a free gift is just entitlement. Valid critisism it would have been for me, if they put the leopard in a pack we pay for and it takes up yet another spot.
But whatever, we will not come to an agreement on this one.
 
I love that we are getting the african leopard. I always wanted one. And it makes sensei as an anniversary animal but at the same time is a weird choice because it does nothing for the base game roster. It already has a lot of Big cats and a lot of African animals. Honestly something like the rhea would've been a much more useful choice in all fronts and as easy to make as the leopard. But hey is what we get and i'm happy about it ☺️
 
My two cents about the theme stay the same as I said before. Looking at PC1, JWE1 and JWE2, only JWE2 had a theme that screamed last pack. All the others didn't, and if you take away the "bigger pack at the end" like they did for JWE2, then I think any pack can be the end pack.

However, looking at it some more, I think regardless of the theme we can also look at the Console DLC bundles. They always come in bundle of two, so that means that Barnyard and whatever this pack is going to probably are going to be in a bundle with each other. That would, if we go by the usual pattern of console bundle releases, put the release of it in May 2025 (Season Pass was going to end in March 2025).

Given that May 2025 is the end of the financial year for Frontier, feels like a fitting time to end it there.
I disagree all the final packs have had a finale energy.

PC1 had a brand collab that was a bigger pack.
JWE1 had essentially a summary pack which was bigger and added the main flying animal of the movies.
JWE2 had to packs in quick succession one playing catch up and one that was explicitly a fan favourites.

every final pack had something that made it stand out from normality, a summarising theme, brand collabs, increased size, a grab bag roster or an out there choice all to me represent a final pack.

I think we might see 1 or 2 more pack to bring pc up to date with console I doubt planet zoo will continue into fy26 but unless the other half of the roster reveals something special this seems to basic of a pack to end the game especially since they dont announce the end of their games.

Tell that to the people who complaint about any free update feature ever.
Why can half the community cry about dinorama mode but criticism towards a free animal is unreasonable when its also just part of a free update and both are therefor gifts.
And the dinorama feature got much more widespread excitement then the leopard, which general perception can be very acuratly be described as underwhelming
 
What could even be added, though? Genuinely asking
Perhaps some kind of adder or viper...?
It's the only thing that comes to mind for me when I think of mountains. I'm personally a huge fan of the Ethiopian mountain adder, but... I'm not sure how many people would be happy about it lol.
I'm personally fine with the scenery/exhibit tradeoff though, I love building and I rarely use exhibits anyway
 
I'm surprised that after +4 years of content and free gifts people still gripe and complain instead of being satisfied that the game lasted this long in the 1st place.
So what if an animal isn't the best choice? What about the +25 other animals you can use? I understand being disappointed, but still, it's a free gift and an animal that I would see on many wishlists (in the case of leopard). Be glad we didn't get some weird obscure thing nobody has heard of or something like a black rat
My one and only problem with the african leopard is that the aniverasry animals are the one and only way of altering the base game roster so picking an african big cat is the worst possible choice because it does nothing for the base game roster which has exactly one oceanic animal 3 south american 4 north american and barely 3 european. I honestly would of preferred it in a pack and give the anniversary to an animal that can support the base game better.
 
Do you think we'll have an exhibit or WE animal ?
It's been a loooooooong time since we didn't have one (WE).
I think the lantern and flag thingys in the pack art heavily point towards a barnyard style animal pack, so 7 habitat animals and scenery instead of the exhibit.
Which personally im really happy with, i generally prefer scenery pack so getting a little taste of that after a whole year without any is atleast something. And a mountain pack doesnt really have the most exciting exhibit options out there tbh
 
No no, he's got a point.
A chameleon could work, because not all mountains are cold. Even a mountain pack could theoretically have desert dwellers
Mountains are actually chameleon hot spot.
Most mountains in madagascar feature their very own endemic dwarf chameleon for example.
Not saying we should get one of those but there defenetly are chameleon living on mountains and its not even a small amount
 
I have absolutly no idea.
I've seen some saying Chameleon, but it doesn't fit with the "cold" vibes of the moutain theme. But I would love it, Chameleons are so missing in Planet Zoo.
I mean the baboon is in Africa and southern Arabia, so not all of them share the cold vibes, even if it doesn't get hot hot where they live
