I am loving what I hear so far from Bestinslot and The Gaming Beaver. Some of the more notable things to take note of:
• The build of the game is supposedly a month old compared to where it is right now in development, so we could see some advancements in A.I. final skins, and changes and tweaks before the release of the game.
• The gaming beaver has made a note that the Nublar map in this game is BIG. How big is it is still unknown, but if the nublar map was the go to sandbox map all these years and is considered the largest undisturbed map, then we could expect something notable.
• He also mentioned a shale tool, which I find interesting. He first called it shoal which is funny, but noted that it was a rocky texture. With this in mind, it could either mean that Isla Sorna in this DLC will be the largest map with shale, or (and this is really wishful thinking). Frontier may have incorporated the shale tool to all maps in sandbox mode, which could mean all 5 terrain options are a thing per park. But we have to wait and see.
• My beloved beloved beloved ankylosaurus has her JPIII Skin! And apparently a lot of skins are introduced outside of the trailers, mainly as they are based on the CGI and animatronics of the dinosaurs in the movie. To which the brachiosaurus is supposedly having the most skins, we need to wait and see how many.
• The velociraptor skin total has jumped from 6, to 16! This is all done with the recent JW skin pack and RTJP DLC.
• Ranger vehicles are destructible, they will not blow up but will be damaged beyond use and needs to be replaced. This extends to both rangers and acu vehicles to have the 3 options: Tranq darts, medical darts, and flares.
• Compsognathus, are not harmful to any person or dinosaur. I do not know if they themselves are harmed by other dinosaurs.
• Pteranodon escape, but has no means of capture.
• Dinosaur A.I. has indeed improved that they are more aware of vehicles in their area, here is a video clip of The Gaming Beaver having a triceratops run toward the ranger vehicle. To which the triceratops not only did not stop or realign herself, but lowered her head when she is about to make an impact to the vehicle.

So far, this is a great segment for the JWE game, I really wish to see how more decorations, buildings, and mechanics could be added to the game to really improve it just as much.
