DLC18 discussion and predictions

wow this thread has just exploded. I mean I get why, but wow, over 70 pages (if not 80 or more) pages in a little over a day. Looks like their "less is more" by only revealing 1 animal solidly and 2 more pretty close to 100% is working.

(im)patiently waiting for the Spectacled Bear. I swear Frontier if you choose to go with the Mountain Tapir as the Latin American representative, I will quit you.
I think a lot of it is figuring out the pack's theme and what it might mean for the game's future. I do caution people that this game may be over before you realise it. Don't bet the world in one basket if there's potential for better on the horizon.
 
I'm guessing a Shelter for the game/tent
I think it's probably a party tent scenery piece.
Iben, since your the developer guy. Do you think its possible for this outcome possible.
Lol, anything is possible. Marketing/product decides the release dates, not devs 😂

My personal bet is Friday the 4th as the reveal day, because I'm much more convinced at this point that it's a celebration-based pack than a mountain pack, so World Animal Day seems like the perfect reveal data for that. Friday reveals are unusual, but they have done it on special occasions and the NA pack was released on World Animal Day as well so it wouldn't be the first time that they tie it to that.

Wouldn't this mean a personal release and outcome on a Saturday as theres always an 8 day period between launch and release? I mean I'm super happy because I can get a ton of playtime with it.

Nah they'd just adjust it to the regular flow, there doesn't have to be 8 days between reveal and release.

Releases in the weekend are just asking for problems, because that would mean you have to call in your devs in the weekend to fix big issues if they'd arise. There's a reason why we even tend to avoid releasing on a Friday, it's too much of a hassle 😂
 
I'm going to be honest here, if someone asks me to list a bunch of mountain or highlands animals I sure as hell wouldn't name Hamadryas Baboon for a long while. There's plenty more mountain species before getting to that. They live in rocky areas and near cliffs for sure, but also savannahs and other arid areas.

Had it been a clear Gelada, then I'd say mountain. But Hamadryas? Nah. I wouldn't count that as an obvious mountain animal.
Which leaves me wondering even more if this is an Old World Animal Pack...

They saw the asks and demands, said to themselves a year ago they were asking for a highlands pack so lets make it.

The full-art quite literally clearly shows a Highland/Mountain Night Theme with all the 3 revealed animals being High Altitude Animals

Not to mention the animals, but for me full-art Eurasia says more about Highland than the background that has now been shown
I can't see those mountains, the only thing I'm holding on to here are the species

Edit: And maybe that's why they didn't show those mountains that way, so that the appearance wouldn't be similar.... I don't know
