Zookeeper’s and Americas. If I remember correctly, both were released two tuesdays after the stream teased the pack art.
Ummm, for me personally if PZ stopped support after two-three years would be a big downer to me. I hate games with giant potencial suddenly drop their support. It's the easiest thing to drop new clone-rig animals for people to always recieve something new, while not costing my whole paycheck as Sims does, and I am here for it!
I will support this game as far as it lets me as I am happy there are new things to keep me invested and liking this game.
This game in a state of 5 DLCs in past I wouldn't enjoy it as much. I like looking forward to somehthing.
Of course, if they suddenly changed to ask 30euros for 2 PS1 quality animals I would also be the one to say it's better to end while good, but for now it's not the case, people are just obsessed with that if the pack doesn't have their fav animal or their perfect roster it's suddenly a bad dlc.
The way my spine went cold.
Throwing money at something out of fear it'll stop getting support doesn't feel like a healthy relationship IMO
As someone who is active in Warhammer and TF2, you really hit the nail on the head. Any “drama” from the forums is like a breath of fresh air for me. I think it helps that while PZ is popular, it is no where near as popular as other games, and I usually find the larger the game community the higher the odds that toxicity follows. We also don’t have a “competitive scene” which I think helps.
I mean yeah, true...
You actually brought up another point, and it's that players in other countries want to see local animals, but I've noticed that when NA gets a local animal (after the North America pack, mind y'all), it's been looked down upon by several. In particular, I've noticed that only players from North America seem to not want North American animals and get bent outta shape (still a minority, though, as most players here tend to enjoy them regardless). I can't remember seeing anybody in Europe mad that European animals are added
Genuinely as a NA player my main desire for NA is just birds. Yeah I know, obvious statement from RightWhale over here. But genuinely I have a ton of options for my NA zoo:
- I can make an Alaska/ Yukon section
- I can make the prairie section
- I can make an Everglades section
- I can make a desert section
I think the main thing for a lot of Players, is while we are still missing a big part of our roster (more than one bird) NA actually has some really good representation in PZ.
In fact NA has such good representation in PZ, a lot of SA animals are also native to NA. Isn’t that funny? SA still only has OK representation!
I dunno, My Sticker Zoo looks like some competition for Frontier
No no, I agree. I mean, sure, bring me the gray fox and black bear and I'll click my heels together and sing Blues in the Night unirocally, but apart from a select few, a VERY select few animals, my only desires from North America are birds, particularly fowl. Turkeys, ruddy ducks, spoonbills, maybe a prairie chicken, tooGenuinely as a NA player my main desire for NA is just birds. Yeah I know, obvious statement from RightWhale over here. But genuinely I have a ton of options for my NA zoo:
Obviously each of these areas have gaps that can be filled, but by and large the major players are available for me to make multiple different sections. Still, after almost 6 years the only bird I have is the flamingo. So that really only covers the Everglades if anything. I could really use a Sandhill Crane, Roadrunner/ Burrowing Owl, Wood Duck, Wild Turkey, etc.

Oh. For Console Edition as bundle.
After this India pack i feel like those gaps are no longer about places lacking animals (with the exceptions of Patagonia/ Tropical South America) but more about types of animals (birds, reptiles, monkeys all around) or specific animals (coati, tree roo, musk ox).
Not necessarily. We've seen double animals before in packs, so there's no reason that we couldn't get 2 primates or 2 deer.
Plus, remember that we've gotten 2nd choices in several areas. We literally have 3 different Canis dogs from NA and 2 different NA foxes. There's no reason to think that we won't get a langur since the macaque is coming (and plus, why would somebody NOT want the macaque? Asia has 2 monkeys, which are the cold Japanese macaque and the proboscis monkey, related to langurs. I'm happy we got a 3rd monkey from the region, and a striking one at that)
tfw you take a break from the forums and come back to THIS

You missed everything! They just sold the rights to me to own Planet Zoo. Gray foxes for everyone!
Some people could make the argument that walruses are on a similar tier due to size and their iconicity with the Arctic.
... I'm talking about me. I'm some people.
Frontier have been smart to have left some gaps in the basegame roster. Although I do wish we'd have less african animals in the base game and a bit more south american and australian animals.
What??
No, I said I will keep throwing money for their good job...Nope, too late. Now we understand...What??
Dev: "Here's your game, sir"
Bughs: "Uh, I can see the Binary code still. Is that a T-pose?"
Dev: "Yeah, we decided to stop supporting it. No interest"
Bughs: slips a check for $50 "Here, finish the game"
I mean we also got the addax and dama, which is probably the most similar pair of animals we ever got in one pack. And atleast to me the gaur+yak aswell as lion tailed macaque+langur pairs feel a little more distinct from each other than the dama+addax one, because of different biomes if nothing else. Perhaps more comparable to the recent coyote+bushdog.
So also getting the langur ontop of the macaque or both blackbuck and nilgai for example doesnt feels like its out of the question.
In your own words, you are "here for" "clone-rig animals" because that way players "always receive something new". That sounds like mediocrity as opposed to doing the best they possibly can.What??
