After having seen today's stream, I must voice some concerns regarding the upcoming Dominion expansion and update. These concerns primarily revolve around several species confirmed to be within the film itself being excluded from the upcoming DLC. These include the following:
Atrociraptor
Lystrosaurus
Microceratus
Moros
Oviraptor
Iguanodon (skin variant)
There was also possible hints of Deinocheirus (having been found in the game files alongside Dimetrodon), Kosmoceratops, Rajasaurus, and Yangchuanosaurus (they were shown in other promotional imagery and in close association with the other species confirmed to be in the film).
A number of players are particularly alarmed about the exclusion of the first five species and skin variant mentioned. They have not been mentioned as being part of the DLC or the accompanying update. I too am concerned about the possibility of these species having been cut for inexplicable reasons. My worry is one of the following two scenarios playing out:
1. These species have been intentionally cut to be piecemealed out in another DLC so Frontier can try and milk Dominion for all its worth, and in the process charging players extra money unnecessarily.
2. These species have been intentionally glossed over for no justifiable reason other than they're not "cool" or important enough (which seems unlikely to me as there are plenty of other more obscure species in the film canon that have been added).
A lot of people have said that Moros and Oviraptor might be cut because they were only in the Dominion prologue. To that, I say that is categorically false. The Dreadnoughtus and Giganotosaurus variants seen are in both the prologue and film, as is the feathered Tyrannosaurus. Inclusion in the prologue (which has been stated to likely not make the final cut of the film) clearly has no bearing on whether these creatures/variants/skins are in this DLC.
So, I now pose this question to Frontier directly: where are these missing species? Why are they not in the Dominion expansion or mentioned as part of the update? This has raised legitimate concerns with some players about cut content or content being piecemealed out over multiple potentially expensive DLCs when it does not need to be. All I am asking for is a straightforward and honest answer as to where these species are. A simple confirmation they will be added in the DLC or update or at some point in the near future would go a long way to alleviating concerns and criticisms, my own included. I want to be fair about this and get an official explanation before I pass judgment on anything. I would just like confirmation whether or not people's concerns regarding this matter are jumping to conclusions. I want it to also be known to please keep any responses to this post clean, polite, and fair. No censorship of opinions or rudeness needs to be brought into this. I hope we can have a civilized and calm discussion about this instead of staunch blind defending without all the information at hand or exaggerated doomsday proclamations. Thank you.
