DLC18 discussion and predictions

[Milurian]

I bet they are nowhere near done with this pack and are scrambling due to staffing/workloads. They teased what little they have because it’s all they have. This is looking like a November-December pack.

no it was confirmed to be before november 5th since they directly acknowledged the anniversary animal is coming out earlier than the anniversary with some pretty strong implications that the pack would to

I'm curious. How so?

The processing power needed to perform ai requests takes a huge amount of electricity and even worse it is also water cooled and vented so it uses a ton of water taking up to 20% of an areas water reserves in places where the data centers are located

Are the those buildings exactly the same in console too? Maybe that's the model they used for the console trailer where the lemur took the remote and played with it.

It's not the model from the console trailer. You can't see the mats from the angle they show but... The extra "bucket" on the shelf is clearly missing.

So highlands still has a pretty good chance, my prediction from yesterday might not be far off after all lol

Pretty plausible roster. You could swap out the golden pheasant (token bird slot) for a different Asian pheasant like the monal, or possibly the bar-headed goose if they plan on adding more waterfowl off the swan rig. Serow could be a different ungulate like a yak or guanaco. Tree kangaroo isn't impossible though it might be saved for something else.

Exhibit animal is a crapshoot as always.

The souvenir shop map does seem to match quite well, with the logo being the main difference

Super interesting. Maybe we have been to harsh with frontier abd they have left us some clues after all.
Getting all the little bibs and bobs from the facilities would be very awesome

I'm staying with my prediction unless there's sufficient evidence to shift gears

Don't get too comfortable with your ideals folks

Top 10 worst ideas ever

 

[yoav_r]

I have a question: Which models from the base game and year 1 dlcs do you think still hold well?

Seems like there was a bump in quality around the aquatic dlc, and another one around the Europe dlc.

Ok bro we got it u want African Spurred Tortoises in Walkthrough Exhibit, but that's just becoming annoying cuz there is nothing to discuss about, cuz that is one of the stupidest ideas I ever saw.

The cassowary is great

I think the African elephant should've been in the WE

I use the remasters for years now so I don’t even remember how the base game models even looks like
But capuchin and kangaroo looks good to me still.

 

[PlanetSoyJak]

I would like to see an update where they allow stops in a Safari Ride to feed the nearby animals with food.


[Zebras, Sables, Gazelle's Girrafes.]

Tbh that makes more sense, LOL

 

[USzoofan42]

How would you guys react if we got elephant shrew?

To be quite frank, I don’t appreciate being misrepresented like this. I’ve openly said multiple times that my proposal isn't even something I want. It’s based on modelling how we get as many dictionary animals as possible in a single pack and nothing more.
If I discussed what I wanted, my lists would be very different from my predictions.

 

[Stygi]

Still going with this as my prediction:

Frontier, give me this or I will be mad

The Common Ostrich, Red Panda, Giant Anteater, Capuchin Monkey, Southern Cassowary, and all the Aquatic Pack animals spring to mind. Just look at the difference in quality between the Saltwater Crocodile and Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman, it's unreal.

I’d say the Komodo dragon still holds up an excellent degree of quality

 

[yoav_r]

The chimpanzee and Bonobo also hold surprisingly well I must say

 

[jcp011c]

Tree Kangaroo seems likely for a highlands pack by sheer fact that none of the other usual suspects should take a lot of design and animation work, at least I don't think they will. There's always one in every pack that they take extra care on, sometimes even two animals in the 5+1 pack.
