It's possible that it can be repaired, but it's also possible it could be slightly reworked to be more fluid and possibly include new animations
December Dlc Discussion! New PZ in the following two weeks days?
- Thread starter yoav_r
- Start date
How exactly is the Climbing mechanic broken? Wasn't really able to play much in the last few Weeks and before that I've mostly worked on my Wildpark
Ah yes, I remember hearing that. Further evidence in our case for avaries, but a loss for the climbing. Hopefully that will get fixed too.
My guess is a European or Mediterranean pack with scenery. I think Aviary would be better received, but based on the photos and the speculation of the European style to the buildings in the update, my assumption is that Aviary will likely be the Spring Pack.
Here is my choices:
European Pack:
1 Iberian Lynx(Flagship-and also one of the most highly requested animals, which would also be the first small/medium cat in the game)
2 Red Deer
3 Wild Boar
4 Alpine Ibex(representing one of the other most neglected biomes, the mountains)
Exhibit Animal - a tortoise or salamander
Honorable Mentions: Chamois, Pine Marten, European Bison
Mediterranean Pack:
1 Iberian Lynx
2 Alpine Ibex
3 Dromedary Camel/Scimitar Horned Oryx(represent the other neglected biome, the desert)
4 Barbary Macaque
Exhibit Animal - Chameleon
Honorable Mentions: Ethiopian Wolf, Caracal, Moufflon

Those are nice picks! And I agree, I think it's looking like the next pack won't be avaries, which is a shame, but if it's European that works for me. Honestly would have thought Aviaries and then Europe, but not unhappy if it ends up being switched around. That just leaves the capybara lying around waiting to get in the game. Somehow. I know it will eventually but dang I want it now!
Saiga antelope are the more popular animal on the metalist than blackbucks or arabian oryx. I would argue it ought to be the more popular animal out of those three.
And personally if we get an oryx I prefer the scimitar oryx, because they are arguably the greatest conservation success story in history.

I will say--the wishlist matters but I don't think Frontier should literally just copy-paste the top 25ish animals and make that the remaining DLC. Beyond the bird representation issue, there are animals that don't fare well in captivity (walrus), are rare in captivity (platypus), or would be on the repetitive side (red fox, given that the past two packs in a row have had foxes).
I agree that the scimitar-horned oryx would be nice but it's only endemic to Africa, and I was specifically bringing up Asian antelope.
For a European pack, I actually agree that if it's a 4 +1 it should probably lean towards more well known animals with a more widespread distribution. If it's an animal pack, however, then adding in a few lesser known animals is nice.
If the game is around long enough for it to happen, the Central Asian line-up you've mentioned, maybe adding a crane or pelican, would be my dream scenario.
The saiga was more widely kept in the past, including by the San Diego Zoo which, if I've osmosed things right, supplies a lot of the animal information/sounds to Frontier, so I don't think hoping for them is entirely wishful thinking. There are definitely a ton of animals left to be added to the game though and I'll understand if my snuffle nose favs don't make it.
I'll still be sad though, because they're so cute and need whatever awareness they can get.

Other than the bit about, perhaps, trying to find all of the issues they can before introducing it, the main comment about JWE was that they added a few major changes in the last DLC for it.
My only other thing with it is that I'm wondering if, with the timing of the JWE2 DLC, that Frontier might not have a full DLC for PZ in December, but have a free update with bonus for christmas. The main thing for it is in the player overlap and the distraction potential of the youtube/streaming side of things that might cause issues and reduce early sales of both with several people who can't afford both there at the same time.
Eurasian Lynx: 128
European Lynx (Subspecies of the eurasian lynx): 215
Iberian Lynx: 7
Though question who should be in the game, really idk. It isnt like we already had an outrage about a certain black bear for unneccessarly restricting it to a very niche species and not choosing the more common species. Oh look, its himalayan brown bear oh clock! Lets check on him! 5 holdings! Oh my, almost as much as the iberian lynx. So we would not only have the rare brown brownbear instead of the eurasian common one, but also a lynx! How delightful!

I assume those figures are a reference to the number of zoos that hold each animal?
I'd personally prefer the Iberian lynx because about 5-10 years ago it literally could only be found in my region in Southern Spain so it means a lot to me. That being said, I totally get your point and I'd be totally fine with the Eurasian lynx as it is much more widespread and versatile. My only comment though is that the Iberian lynx is not comparable with the Formosan black bear as it is a totally different (and visually distinct) species.
Lets be honest, it is nearly impossible to make pack which would satisfy all players. Everyone have different opinions what should be added into the game. Thats fine, because everyone have their favourites based on various factors. We cant avoid dissatisfaction. We dont even know what next pack will be, but there are first signs of dissatisfaction (even here on forum), because those people dont like european fauna.
Personally I would prefer iberian lynx, because i am having bias towards endangered species.

that would honestly be a dream come true, especally because its more of a grey wolf/arctic wolf situation then anything else. Both are perfectly valid, i would just personally prefer if they went with the broader species, both in how common they are in captivity, their geographic range and there range of biome, all things that the eurasian lynx comes on top of, with arguably only the bobcat being able to compareI wish they could do a 5+1 instead of a 4+1 (or 8+1 instead of 7+1) and include both Eurasian and Iberian lynx like a Xmas gift
I really don't like free content, unless it's a very small reskin like the new lemur. I mean, someone worked on it, I'd like to pay them for theur services.I wish they could do a 5+1 instead of a 4+1 (or 8+1 instead of 7+1) and include both Eurasian and Iberian lynx like a Xmas gift
I agree, it was just a wish and they could reduce the number of pieces a little to include the extra animal.
I know that it is not a popular opinion but I would be kind of ecstatic too if it could be the Eurasian animal pack bringing both worlds into one - the animals from both Europe and northern part of Asia.
