Quexcelente. Is it just me or are yerba brands losing their flavor too fast? Taragüí and Rosamonte seem to not last as long. Funny, but if I mix those with Playaditos, it seems to last longer

Fair enough. And actually, hearing you frame it in that way makes me raise my own eyebrows again. I hadn't even thought of it from the angle of "more base game items" in general. Because, yeah, that's a very fair point. Not 100% convinced they would extend that to base game species in advertising materials but... I see how one might make that leap.
See, I guess I'm viewing it more as the flamingo was an "almost clone" but there was still value in it. It felt like an upgrade to the base game flamingo while offering some regional diversity. And I feel like we'd get the same from a new elephant species (a decent upgrade from what we already have in-game).
Interesting that we're both talking about "benefit of the doubt" about the same things in totally different ways.
Sidenote: Gonna add that "one swallow doesn't make summer" saying to my lexicon. Never heard that one before!
So far it's been two weeks between teaser reveal and pack reveal. I'd say there is a slight chance it's a bit longer but frankly I also expect it to be within that range.
OMG yes! They are all garbage lately. They water down so fast. I think it might be on purpose so we have to buy more lol
I think Taragüi is the one has gone down in quality the most. Mañanita and Playadito are okaish, but i think is better to buy organic yerba mate rather than industrial ones right one. Or idk something from Uruguay lol
It all depends on what you see value in, I guess. The tapir is the only animal that has ever really felt like a "true" re-skin for me. The one animal I take issue with in the Americas pack is the coyote and that's more because I don't think it's really justified as a "zoo" animal (which is a subjective/personal take) rather than having anything to do with the way the animal was put together. Heck, I even fully understand why they picked it. I just happen to disagree (and even then, I have like 3-5 interesting habitat ideas for them).
I just have confidence that if Frontier were to give us a new species of something in-game it'll provide some sort of added value. There will be a different size/shape, improved texture, etc. I get that there's a lot being left at the table (#1 tree kangaroo fan speaking here, haha) but I find it hard to say that Frontier doesn't put a lot of love, care, and effort into the animals they include in the rosters.
I agree about the coyote as well, but mostly because it took the place of the coati lol And yes there were better choices than the flamingo but even that one adds something to the game because is such an upgrade from the greater flamingo and is just very iconic. Not my personal preference but i understand the compromise there. Of course i would have swapped the sheep for the mara as well, but i have actually always liked and low key wanted the big horn, just maybe not in that context where there were so many other animals i wanted more (and honestly were more popular or requested than it).
Oh man, so it wasn't just my family
Yeah, it's probably easier to get local organic yerba down there, but I dunno if it'll be easy up here; organic is expensive. I'll just have to deal with inferior mate for a while
By the by, what're y'alls theories on an update? Americas didn't have one. Zookeeper sorta had one, if you count the anniversary releasing alongside...
One single plant and a few patches, If we are lucky
I really dont expect anything else apart from maybe a new plant like with Americas.
With India being the most likely theme people have become alot more vocal about making the basegames india set flexicolor recently.
I do Not think we will get Updates anmyore (perhaps a very small one). Those Times are probably over.Oh man, so it wasn't just my family

Well to be fair Americas did have one, just like Zookeepers it was with very little content (not saying it to be pedantic, but it's literally how Frontier describes it, they put it under free update ).
Both were just some new foliage, some blueprints and bugfixes; I'd say we're most likely looking at a similar kind of update. So it's less "we're not getting a free update anymore", because we're still getting free content after all, it's just much less than before.
Hello? Based Department? I’m here to make a claimPersonally, if we were to get a large long-legged wading bird that ranged from India to Australia, my preference would be these guys:

Honestly a really good way of looking at it, even if they aren’t the animals we specifically want, the past couple DLCs have done a lot for certain regions.
We're at least slightly in agreement here. If I had my druthers I would have just called it a "Latin America" pack and swapped out the coyote and big horn sheep for two different species... And where I think we might disagree is that I would have also swapped out the greater rhea for another small/climbing mammal. But just because it's not ideal doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, y'know? I still feel like I very much got my money's worth.
But I think the key reason these things happen is right in your post. "Compromise." I don't think Frontier actively makes some of these decisions to just skate by and not put effort/energy into the project. It's more about what can they do with the resources at-hand that players will still enjoy enough to want to buy the pack and will still be interested in the game and future DLCs.
The most IMO natural pack that frontier would push out
India Pack:
Honey Badger
Lion Tailed Macaque
Sri Lanka Elephant
Gaur
Nilgai
White crane
Indian Wolf
India Pack:

If we get an Indian Wolf before an Asiatic Lion I will cry
There is no way JWE 3 will release barely a month after its been properly announced we still havent gotten a trailer or more then some light official confirming. Unlike a dlc where there is only so much content to describe and the audience for the game is already built the first sales of a game are vital to its success and you dont get that by announcing it and selling it faster than most people will get the news.
It also would break their current pattern of releasing all but one cms game in november. Based on the timeline for planet coaster 2 and the movie we will get an announcement next month not the entire game.
Yeah I once said this was the least toxic community I had ever been in. Since that statement 3 years ago we have spiralled as a community all the joy has been lost because we have just consistently had even of most reasonable ideas beaten down and ignored to the point where people are now no longer willing to admit what they actually want and instead create ideas they hate simply because thats what they assume will happen. As a community we have lost hope the ever looming threat of is this the end has turned to please let it be the end. Frontier has given the community as whole depression and it is really a shame.
Yeah this is not happening lol it’ll probably release in November like most frontier games.
