Besides Megalodon, what animals and/or changes do you predict or hope to see in the upcoming DLC/update?

[kozyk1999]

Before the update drops, just want to hear your predictions on what Frontier has been working on for us and also what you hope has been added to JWE2

I’ll start:

Smilodon
Mammoth
Terror Bird (hopefully kelenken)

As far as updates go, I hope they make dinosaurs less prone to panic. Preferably only panicing when a carnivore in their territory starts to get hungry. A carnivore’s status changing to “Hunting” should be the trigger for herbivores to panic. Also allowing scavengers and certain other flying reptiles to feed from insect feeders. I hope for cow feeders and live shark feeder. Pack/herd animals tend to migrate and travel according to wherever their alpha goes, making them less likely to stray and become lonely. Cohabitation could use a little bit of work. Hopefully in JWE3 we have the option to customize dinosaur cohabitation while in species viewer mode, giving us a 4th option during gameplay (All Like, No Dislike, Normal, Custom). This would give us a little more freedom and creativity for our parks. Dinosaur enrichment items like salt licks or dig spot for animals to dig and burrow in. Water depth feature and wimming dinosaurs might not come in JWE2 but I hope dimetrodon at least swims in the water now instead of walking through it. The same way small herbivores lift their heads out the water to walk through it, dimetrodon swim with only its head and/or sail poking out if the water. More rocks would be cool as well as being able to use any brush for any map.

If it is a Cenozoic Pack, then Smilodon is a given as we have received one of the missing CC creatures since the aquatic DLC now, Argentivis (big Condor) for the aviary and a herbivore which can be either Mammoth or a less known animal for that slot.

I agree with you and thought up the same roster. For the fourth creature, instead of Argentavis, I can easily see them go with a terror bird.

If they pull a surprise card, I would be happy with a genus of ground-sloth, the woolly rhinoceros, Megaloceros ("Irish elk"), or even a glyptodont. I would laugh if the last creature was the dodo.

While I wouldn't be disappointed if there's three carnivores and a herbivore (either woolly or Columbian mammoth), I feel it would be unbalanced to have three Cenozoic carnivores.

Let's see what's announced.

[Pixelated Sparkster]

I am open to whatever the DLC would focus on, be it a fully dedicated Cenozoic pack or another Marine / Summer vibes pack.

As for the update, a part of me hopes to see more variant conversions like what we had in the recent update that came with the Cretaceous Predator Pack. Triceratops, 65MYA T-Rex, and Parasaurolophus are a few I really hope to see get the variant conversion.

I want some music tracks to be assigned to the Dominion Giganotosaurus, Atrociraptors, and the Late Cretaceous Animals. The Dominion Giga and Atrociraptors do not feel like star attractions from the Dominion movie, and lose some of the Movie Magic when I incubate them into my park. The Late Cretaceous animals on the other hand feel incomplete, where 3 of them would have outstanding tracks when incubating a single egg, but nothing notable when releasing multiple of them or when observing them on the park.

As for gameplay, I am unsure if it will come in this update or after (or not at all), but I really want the DFW, Malta, and Biosyn Building Sets to get some much needed TLC to have their gameplay potential fleshed out in Custom Challenge Mode & Sandbox Mode. As is, the two modes have rules, research, and buildings more catered for the traditional park gameplay of JP and JW. It is either cumbersome or impossible to replicate the DFW, Malta, or Biosyn Gameplay in Custom Challenge mode, and I feel a lot of replay could be had if we could incorporate what made these 3 building sets unique from the game's Scenario and Chaos Theory modes.

I hope for the ability to turn off characters speaking completely. The current game would allow you to mute character dialogue and remove subtitles, but they would just look at you for an uncomfortable period instead of talking with those to settings disabled. I would like the ability to disable completely so as to really get into the park's atmosphere, be it JP, Malta, or Biosyn without having characters that do not belong in those settings speak up.

And I really really really really really REALLY want the game to let us swap the default pylons that are attached to the substations and power stations with the classic pylons. JP building set feels 99.9% complete, and the ability to swap the default pylons in the substations and power stations with the classic ones would make the JP experience 100%

If it is a cenozoic dlc. Than for sure that there will be Smilodon and the Wooly mammoth along the megalodon. The fourth species i am not sure if it would be Argentavis or a species of terror bird.

If it will be a giant creature dlc i am hoping for Shantungosaurus, Argentinosaurus and Hatzegopteryx coming along with it.

 

[TheDinoGuy]

I'm up for a Titans Pack with Argentinosaurus, Shantungosaurus, and Hatzegopteryx to go with Megalodon. I'd like to see new cosmetics of Mamenchisaurus, Diplodicus, and Parasaurolophus 2022 and a square level sandbox for Isla Sorna, Pennsylvania, and Isla Nublar 2015.

I'd personally wish they'd expand the roster for Cenozoic animals instead of four since they'd might feel out of place for now. And yet there's still many dinosaurs I'd like to see.

 

[bird-watcher-91]

If this does become a "Giants" DLC, I hope that they add two fan-requested items and mechanics as part of the free update: make the hadrosaurs, iguanodonts, and sauropods fit back (it blows my mind that even a pack of raptors can take down the massive sauropods in the game) and to put kelp forests as a lagoon exclusive terrain tool. I feel also they need to change the dinosaur cohabitations again; they should allow Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Camarasaurus, and Brachiosaurus (they're all found in the Morrison Formation) to all cohabitate with each other and to swap out Maisaura with Corythosaurus as the hadrosaur Parasaurolophus benefit from cohabitating with (both genera coexist at the same time in the Dinosaur Park Formation along with Lambeosaurus, a dinosaur that I seriously want in this game, if not then in JWE3).

If JWE2 is ending support very soon, they should include Microceratus as a free gift dinosaur like they did with Nasutoceratops back in JWE1 since they failed to add the species in the Malta Expansion.

It is not just Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus should also be able to cohabit with Maiasaura due to the fossils of the three hadrosaurs are discovered in Oldman Formation in Alberta.

Microceratus should be added as soon as possible before support for Jurassic World: Evolution 2 ends.

With the game ending, I doubt Microceratus is getting in. So... that's it. Don't bother asking for it since it's obviously not happening.

May be this is a "Fanfavourite DLC" and Microceratus is one of the 3 unkown species ! ....
BTW ... JWE III will most likely come out around between June 2025 and Dezember 2025 to push the sales with help of "Jurassic .... 7". So it could still be that JWE II gets one or two DLC in 2024.
Megalodon and Kelp is veeeeeerrrrrry cool, but I think JWE II could get a last BIG FINAL Expansion like JWE I got with the "Return to Jurassic Park" Expansion.

As much as I would love an expansion, I doubt Frontier has the resources or time to make an expansion pack. If, and only if they made the content prior to the cuts in the company, this may very well be the last DLC, or the next to last one if we are lucky.

Exactly. It's best to assume it is the last so the disappointment doesn't set in too bad when the silence begins.

Well, let me tell you something. There are no such things as "fan favorite/community choice/community favorite/player favorite/" titled DLCs in all video game history at all.

lol... let me tell YOU something ... Mosasaurus and Lagoons as well as many nice decos and additions where for shure Parts of DLC´s and Free updates because many people here and some Influencers on Y...... gave the Team of Frontier postive suggestions and feedback since the Day JWE I came out !
JWE II got lots of good updates and some time in the Future JWE III will get even better because of the feedback for JWE II.
Latest thing f.e. that will come to JWE II are KELP , and that was requested since the first days of JWE II !
Megalodon in a DLC is for shure a answer to a missive amount of voices from sooo many Gamers that wished it would have been part of a earlier DLC.
The official Title of a DLC doesn´t matter, but its simply a fact that KELP and Megalodon are very much requested by many Fans.
How many DLC´s JWE II will get in 2024 no one knows for shure ! Time will tell

That’s not the point though.

Besides, the newly announced PDLC is not any of the titles I explicitly said. Plus, not everything in it is, what these social media channels for the game would call, “fan favorite s”. Namely: Thanatosdrakon.

Even if a PDLC did have animals that would be calked “fan favorites” by the community, it wouldn’t ever be named that explicitly.

 

[Paleoguy]

The way it looks, this was a way to get some of the most requested species in the game. As for the species of flying reptile, it was a nice surprise. Being that JWE3 is the goal now, this seems like the last DLC. Maybe in the next game we get more species from before the time of dinosaurs, and with Megalodon, perhaps there is a possibility for Cenozoic species to be included, to greatly distinguish it from the two prior games.

lol....lol....lol....lol... thats not the point.... I wrote " Fanfavourite DLC" and every one but you got that it simply should describe that some of the Species and decos that many/most fans want for a long time will be in it !
The official name is not important at all ...lol.
And Evos video is out and..... hey I was right ...lol even EVO wrote that it is in fact some kind of " Fanfavourite Pack" !
So hey ...call it what ever you want, but I´m happy that it brings many Species and Decos a lot of fans are happpppppyyyyyyyy ! have a nice Day
