To most people, every DLC (especially because it’s a miracle we still get them) is a gift. Doesn’t matter if it’s optional or not, they still give us the opportunity to get new animals. Every animal is a present.
Fourth Anniversary
- Thread starter Spartan_Squat
- Start date
Thankfully the community responds better to anniversary animals than the some of the DLC choices. Let’s hope this next one doesn’t break that pattern.
Honestly I'd say that's not a good attitude to have towards something you literally pay for. If you pay for something, you have the right to complain. That's how business works.
Yeah but just because somethings free it doesn’t stop people from complaining about it. I don’t complain about the anniversary animals, but if we get something as simple as a Sumatran tiger or American flamingo, there will be some that complain because it’s too simple. Either way there will always be people who complain, whether that it’s not something specific someone wanted, it’s too simple, whatever.
The only zoo I've seen coyotes was a small zoo in Irapuato, Mexico. So, I've never seen them here.
Also, I didn't know that there were so many dingos in zoos. Interesting
What if we got the banded mongoose for the anniversary? It’s a clone of the meerkat and would be pretty unique. Plus it’s not that requested.
I feel like this would be too oddball of a pick to actually happen... But I'd be really, really stoked on it! I'd love to get them in-game.
Small animals are my jam. I love to build their little enclosures in little corners of my Zoo.
If we get a mongoose I’d love it dearly. Any more small animals
If we are talking about small Mammals, a Elephant Shrew would also be a nice OptionThat would be obscenely small, depending on the species.
IMO the anniversary is bound to be something "not that flashy". A mongoose might do it, but I still don't think it's going to be based on a DLC animal (red deer aside).
Too small, plus it would require a lot of work because we don’t have any habitat animal that small.
Some of the larger species are bigger than meerkats, but I think the bigger issue here is that there's nothig for Frontier to make it out of.
The anniversary animal is not going to be some super-unique new species nothing like anything yet in the game. It's always going to be something fairly basic and low-demand like the ruffed lemur and red deer. It won't be marketable in a DLC. For example, it definitely won't be the...
It's an exhibit animal, for one thing, and regardless of what the exhibit animal is they aren't super popular, and Frontier knows this. Secondly, the brown-throated sloth is a DLC animal that didn't come out that long ago, so they won't give away for free one of the big selling points of a DLC (especially a recent one - and again, the red deer is not an exception, whether it was made out of the fallow deer, reindeer, or even another animal, deer are not big sellers). Thirdly, aside from the butterflies that were deliberately made to share space (and thus share the same animation cycles to avoid collisions), each WE animal has a unique exhibit set-up, even between the two fruit bats AFAIK. That's more work than they'll give away for free.
As usual, people are setting their expectations way too high with this.
The Black and rufous elephant shrew can reach a Length of 52,5cm
African Spurred Tortoise or some kind of Primate would definitely be also niceAgain:
Think simpler. As you say, the tortoise would be a good option, or another crocodile. Part of me even hopes for something like the tufted capuchin, though I doubt it.
The more close we come to the Birthday the more I hope for the American Black Bear. I am absolutely Team hoping for all the 3 remaining Bear species to come to.the Game. And if it is brought with all its different color variations from nearly White and Grey over Blonde, Brown and reddish Brown to black it would be a really cool addition.
