You just gotta keep an eye out. Sometimes I see the trailer on YT before the forums. Sometimes I see it on Steam before the forums. Just keep your eyes peeled (but not literally, because that would hurt

DLC 19 Speculation
- Thread starter USzoofan42
- Start date
)
On a bright note, the good side of studying at night and therefore sleeping late, is that i will wake up with the dlc already annouced, so yay.
Yeah, I tried to avoid atributing the ideology to them as much as possible, it's just that I don't have a better exemple than this one for people who pretended to bring back an extinct species but actually just put a coat of paint over an existing one.
Quite possibly, it's just that in the instance I'm talking about it was just crossbreeding between existing cattle breeds to get as close to possible to what an auroch was supposed to look like, and it didn't really go beyond "look like".
Agreed.
So what time do you think they will reveal it tomorrow, do y'all remember when they did it last time, I am betting on 8:00 Central Daylight Time
Reveals normally ocurr 10:00 am here in southern Brazil, which i believe is 14:00 on London
One thing about the Dire wolf "experiment" that keeps creeping me out is that to achieve this, they probably had alot of failures. How many pups must have been born with deformities and health problems, born only to be killed soon after, how many female wolves they have forced to carry such experimental pregnancies (which lets be real, must have ended badly for both the female wolves and the pups quite alot) before this "achievement" was possible. This sort of information should be public. Let people know at what cost you are playing god.
And to make them intentionaly white only because of Ghost from Game of Thrones when it comes with potentional health problems....this is vile. One would at least consider it nesseccery evil if it was for science, but it is not. This is commercial. It is just yet another instance where humans are using animals with money in mind.

Round the world time zones for when it's 2pm at Frontier HQ
(they usually release at 11am or 2pm)
welp looks like ill probably miss the trailer drop but hopefully I can dodge the spoilers so I can watch it when I wake up
Lets remind ourselfs that today could not be announcement day....
But yes, I also think it is very likely.

Hoping for 11am cause I probably won't be around at 2pm, but I don't think it's likely...
Something tells me that I'll be really disappointed in this pack.
Last night I dreamt that the DLC was going to have only 5 species and they were not all the ones that we expected based on the theme art. Like, Frontier decided to keep the Coyote and the Bighorn Sheep but decided to throw out the Rhea and the Saki for something else. Reality can't be as disappointing as this bloody nightmare was, right?! 
They even named one of them "Khaleesi" just to drive the point home.
It's unreal how much misinformation is being spread by the "direwolf" news. Like what they did was actually an impressive achievement in itself without having to deliberately mislead people about what these animals actually are.
Yeah that is really *-ed up. Really sad. Humans have a sick relationship to other animals.
I'm worried about when they are fully grown. Bigger dogs tend to have heart problems, don't they? Apparently they only edited 20 genes, 5 of which were cosmetic. Leaving millions of genes that would make up the difference between a wolf and an actual dire wolf untouched. That doesn't sound like enough to ensure that all the organs will be able to cope with the massive size of the body. I bet life expectancy is going to be short and life quality probably awful once they are adults.
Good article about it -
No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction
Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

Guess we're waiting another 2-4 hours for a teaser (if it isn't tomorrow)
I'm still hopeful for later today but we'll see how things go
So since we're in the potentially last hour and half before the next pack announcement, anyone wanna throw in any last minute left field suggestions for the remaining 2 species?
