I hate hybrids, the cool thing is to have the real species, Jurassic World it's a dinosaur park, not a park of freaks, but each has its opinion, I like 99.9% of the jwe community hates hybrids and wants real dinosaur species

Are you sure about it Guil?
Seems like you are just ranting about hybrids ingame.
There's not much wrong with the hybrids that were introduced in the films and ingame.
It fits the storylines and has a nice addition to it.
The statement that Jurassic World is a dinosaur park is correct yet a hybrid was introduced in the film which has a great part in the fourth movie.
But after all, all the dinosaurs are freaks in the end cause of cloning and modification of genes.
There wasn't any real dinosaur in the park but they resemble them.
I do like the additions of the movie and Dr. Wu hybrids and there sure are others who do.
Claiming the the majority doesn't like them sounds like a major exaggeration to me.

isn't jurassic park / world more like a park about genetic engineered hybrids of dino DNA and DNA of current Animals like Frogs?
i mean i dont like every hybrid which is current ingame, i dont like the design of the Stegoceratops and the Ankylodocus very much but Jurassic park was always connected to Genetic Engineering and not just dinosaurs. I think nobody is forced to research them and i personally think they can be quite interesting. so yes +1 for hybrids.
edit:
Steceranospinosaurus rex when?

What I can say is that hybrids should be the exception and not the rule, they're cool, but the real species are much better
The fact that all of Ingen's dinosaurs have DNA from other animals makes them all hybrids? Yes, but they represent real species, that's what I mean, although all jwe dinosaurs are genetically modified, most want to see real species, not freaks!
Although most hate the hybrids, you have the right to express your opinions

I agree with Guilherme. I miss the days pre-SoDW expansion when hybrids and the demand for them in JWE were not any more than the tiniest blip on the online radar at most. Since the gates have been opened on that kind of discussion over the past couple months, there's suddenly been much discussion about the potential of having even more put into the game, plus all of the repeated "Hybrids" topics that have been created during that time (only 1 hybrid topic had been created in the 'Ideas' sub-forum, out of what was then 12 pages of threads prior to SoDW, and received 0 responses).
I'd rather JWE, which was tagged with the line "Create Your Very Own Jurassic World", keep to just being what it was advertised as - a dinosaur theme park builder under the 'Jurassic' license. As it stands now, it's still a very hollow game in many ways when it comes to being that and many of the dinosaurs are more on the low effort side considering the games budget, imo. Please, no Pokemon-esque hybrids and silly turn-based combat arenas taking up time and resources. There's already a "Jurassic" mobile game for the crowd that is into that stuff. Let the time and resources go into fixing up the existing dinosaur species and putting some more life into them and the parks.
And I've said it at least a dozen times by now, JW Hybrids need to always be sold separately from anything to do with the base game if they are going to keep being pumped out. It's just beyond dumb that to prop up 'Ankylodocus' and the like, additional actual species and other stuff need to be thrown in to attempt to max sales. It's also extra unnecessary financial considerations that are forced upon players that loathe hybrids when it's done that way. The 'Jurassic' franchise started with dinosaurs being thrown into present times, and it's popular because of dinosaurs as the base, not hybrids.
It's the dinosaurs that will always endure the bigger picture, while dino/dino splicing (the head of one dinosaur onto the body of another) will just be a "flash in the pan" if lucky enough.

I concur, I'm more than happy to have hybrids in JWE! In my opinion, hybrids are simply a natural progression, or evolution, as to what InGen would do with their gene splicing technology after recreating the dinosaurs, pterosaurs and marine reptiles; they are effectively the movie's version of going to “Version 4.4”, creating unique custom-made dinosaurs that line up with what visitors want to see in a dinosaur theme park, “Bigger, Louder, More Teeth”.
I think it would be great if Frontier were to add a few more of these genetically engineered animals to the game! I feel there needs to be more variety for hybrids because, at the moment, there are only two herbivores and three carnivores (all three of which use Velociraptor DNA).
This could be resolved by the addition of a couple small and medium herbivore hybrids, such as Paramoloch (Parasaurolophus & Stygimoloch) and Dracoceratops (Dracorex & Triceratops), and more unique carnivores, such as Allosinosaurus (Allosaurus & Sinoceratops) and Tyrannolophosaur (Tyrannosaurus & Dilophosaurus).

While the idea of hybrids is not the absolute worst. The problem is that most of the designs are just terrible.
Just adding spikes and horns from different dinosaurs onto another does not equal a good design. The Spinoraptor doesn't look too bad simply because it's not a raptor with Spinosaurus pasted on or the other way around. It has a little bit of both, but not ALL of both.
This is why the Stegoceratops looks like a horrid monstrosity. It's just way too much. And it doesn't even look remotely like the canon Stegoceratops, which isn't as bad but still ugly.
So yeah, please no more hybrids. Pasting two animals together is just a bad recipe. At least the Indominus and Indoraptor are "new" creatures.
I also still want to be able to buy Olorotitan and Troodon without getting hybrids with it. I refuse to buy the Dr. Wu DLC simply because it contains said hybrids.

I like the hybrids too. I mean the dinosaurs are genetically engineered anyway so of course some bright spark would eventually start doing stupid things like hybrids. I was even surprised that I liked the stegoceratops when that was added. The only one I dont like is the anylodocus, both the design and the missed opportunity that it cant defend itself.

Personally, I'm not a fan of hybrids and I don't put them in my parks, but I'm not against adding more into the game as there are people who do like hybrids. Though I do prefer the "realistic" looking hybrids over some of the more outlandish ones. I'm really not a fan of the Stegoceratops, but I must admit, the Spinoraptor looks pretty darn cool and looks like a plausible dinosaur. Perhaps if something like a dlc pack of 5 dinosaurs is released 3 could be real genera and 2 could be hybrids?
I want more hybrids so I can populate Isla Muerta with them and make my imagination of it semi-real.
Also if we ever get an aquatic dlc. I want there to be a Megalasaur. A hybrid of Megalodon and Mosasaur.
So what you're saying is, if they called the Spinoraptor a Utahraptor and the Ankylodocus a Shunosaurus they'd be totally okay with you? Because lets face it, many of the so-called real dinosaurs in the Jurassic series, including many of the animals exclusive to Evolution, are definitely unrealistic, mutant freaks despite the real-world names attached to them... so what really makes the real ones any different from the fake ones besides the names?

so i think the best solution would be that frontier releases hybrids only in seperate dlcs for people who wants them in the future.
I like the hybrid-mechanic too much ingame to give up about more hybrids for the future. The franchise was always about Genetic Engineering and mixing DNA for so want to make some hybrids.
But i can fully understand when people dont want to buy such DLCs but still want to be able to have every other regular dinosaur like the troodon

That's an interesting question

Neither look like Utahraptor or Shunosaurus. The Spinoraptor does kinda look like a creature that could possibly exist. It's probably the best designed hybrid in the Dr. Wu DLC. So I guess it's okay for the most part. The Ankylodocus just looks a bit silly with it's spikes just pasted onto a fairly standard Diplodocus. Though it's not nearly as bad as the Stegoceratops.
You seem to forget that many of the "real" dinosaurs are pretty okay for the most part accuracy wise. It's mainly the theropods that are quite outdated with their lack of feathers and broken wrists. For most of the other dinosaurs it's generally just smaller details that are incorrect. And even so, I'd still rather see an outdated theropod than a frankensteined monstrosity.
And yeah, I would also love to see "real" Utahraptor and Shunosaurus in the game, even if the Utahraptor would likely be naked without feathers.
Considering what passes for a Deinonychus in this game, how does the Spinoraptor not look like a Utahraptor? The head is wrong, it's too big and it has a fake fin on its back... both statements could apply to both really easily. Furthermore we know there are dromaeosaurs with long, narrow snouts and a complete Utahraptor skull has never been found, so you can't even say the skull doesn't look like that; for all we know it did.
And the Shunosaurus? First of all, there's the Dreadnoughtus, which has a head unlike any known titanosaur skull, its neck is way too vertical and its front legs are too long... then there's the Carcharodontosaurus's head that looks armor plated and far more arrow-shaped than the actual skull, while its body has random "spikes" growing from its skin. Mutant head? Random spikes? ...kind of like the Ankylodocus...
Even if it could be argued that most dinosaurs are "pretty accurate" that doesn't change the fact that there is plenty of artistic licensing going into these designs, so the idea that the Spinoraptor could pass for Utahraptor or Ankylodocus could pass for Shunosaurus remains pretty reasonable if you ask me... which brings us back to the original question; if the Spinoraptor was a Utahraptor and the Ankylodocus was a Shunosaurus, thus making neither a hybrid but a real dinosaur (in the same sense any of these knock-offs are real) would that make them okay with you? Would you have accepted them for what they are? A vaguely accurate but noticeably unrealistic recreation with a real dinosaur name attached?
