DLC18 discussion and predictions

The thread today is very quiet-- am I the only person who defo thinking we getting the news today...? cause if we thinking about it idk how likely is that for frontier to actually announce the DLC in the Livestream cuz first it would be kinda late, second, don't forget that the content creators also always like releasing their videos the same time as the trailer comes out.
It's either in a few hours or it's tomorrow. Not much else to say.

Nah, I guess most people are stuck at work/school. I think we have several hours to go.
 
To that end, I'm looking forward to closing the book on PZ1. Bring on the future.
I could wear a Hoodie with that printed on. I annoy everyone to death in my PZ voice chat community, because I am SO excited for PZ2 and yes, I don't care that I see it as a given and not that far into the future.
I enjoy PZ and will play it till PZ2 comes, I love the game, but omg, the future is so bright with just the thought of a new engine and all.

Now I’m not saying I think there will be more than 1 pack, I still think this one is the last,

HOWEVER 6/8 of the list are from the old world (Africa & Asia). Is it potentially possible that we get an Old World Pack next week, then a New World pack at Christmas time? It’s a very very big stretch of course, but the holidays is always when frontier makes the most money, and setting South America animals and the tree roo aside for a final new world pack would definitely please people.
Eastern Hemisphere kind of covers them all, several African species are in the West too, but are more East than West, including the Civet. Of the potentially detectable species, European Hedgehog seems the closest to an exception, being a smaller range.

Of the expected to be undetectable species from the Metawishlist, 20 are from the New World, with 6 rated higher than the Sifaka, so there's definitely New World stuff they could've chucked in if it was basically "select x amount of things from the top 50".
  • Ornate/Mexican Spider Monkey 5th
  • Spectacled Bear 5th
  • American Black Bear 28th
  • Bush Dog 29th
  • Sea Otter 29th
  • American Flamingo 40th
  • North American Porcupine 60th
  • Mountain Goat 69th
  • Brazilian Porcupine 80th
  • Brazilian Tapir 86th
  • North American River Otter 97th
  • North American Wood Duck 97th
  • South American River Turtle 134th
  • Grey Fox 134th
  • Rhinoceros Iguana 134th
  • Southern Screamer 134th
  • Marine Iguana 155th
  • Red Wolf 155th
  • Black Caiman 188th
  • Black-necked Swan 188th
  • Giant Armadillo 188th
Suspicious detected candidates for Comparison
  • Secretary bird 2nd
  • Goodfellow's Tree kangaroo 3rd
  • Markhor 7th
  • Hamadryas Baboon 11th
  • Echidna 16th
  • African spurred Tortoise 34th
  • Dik dik 38th
  • Sifaka 43rd
  • Civet 111th
  • Hedgehog 188th
  • Impala 188th

In terms of general probability, of the top 50, 20 are distinctly New World, so the chances of randomly not picking them for a finale top 50 eight species pack are (30/50)x(29/49)x(28/48)x(27/47)x(26/46)x(25/45)x(24/44)x(23/43)x(22/42) = 0.6%, vs a 1.1% chance for a seven species pack.

Of the 20 New world species in the Top 50, the chances of picking 4 of the Non-detectable ones are (6/20)x(5/19)x(4/18)x(3/17) = 0.3%

Overall it's pretty unlikely, but either of those are plausible if random or semi random.

Don't do this. Don't give me hope.

I wish that in the next update they could include a windowless version with a dark-background door for all the employee facilities like the quarantine center and the animal exchange center. Building based on the layout and size of the windows in the facilities really bothers me because I don't like covering them up and having the interior visible through a wall behind the window. I know... I'm daydreaming. 🤷‍♂️
 
Please, don't brick back old threads on the news forum, it's not funny. And please don't asnwer to whenever someone does it. I hope moderators could ban those people.
Anyone who does it instantly receives a spot on my "ignore" list at this point. It may have been funny once, but people have been doing this before every single DLC.
