Lagoon feedback and ideas

Before the big patch cars etc. couldn´t even sink into the lagoons. I was very happy to find out that at least the Gyrospheres can drive to discover the lagoons from an other perspective. If you drive to a good piont of the lagoon and look up to the Marine reptiles above you and to hear that cool sounds they make is great. An Underwaterdome or Tunnel or an Microsubmarine would be just such an awesome attraction in our parks. A glass bottom boat for some kind of " Jurrassic marine tour " could be cool too.
Something like that for example:

Look up the Indianapolis Zoo's Dolphin Dome, it's something that would be awesome to see with several of the dinosaurs.

I'd also like the underwater facility from Jurassic Park: The Game...

I Did look up the Indianapolis Zoo's Dolphin Dome, and i think you are right and something like that would just be great for JWE2 !
 
Agreed! They could even add a filtration system option to help clear up the lagoons. It might be a engine limitation, if that is the case, underwater viewing would make the most of overhead light to see the animals.
Such a cool idea! Love this one
 
I tested a few things in JP eara and jumped with an Jurrassic Tour Vehicle into the lagoon.
To my surprise it didnt dissappear ! Instead i was able to drive with it on the ground of the lagoon , just like with the Gyrospheres :)!
So if you want to test it out, make a high hill near a Lagoon and a smal hill with a flatt rock as ramp next to your lagoon. If you make a good jump you can drive your "Submarine Bond car ":ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: !
 
Since the first post on this thread already covered the lagoons needing more customization options, another thing the lagoons need are more unique animations with the aquatic animals. It's amazing when you first release them and see them swimming around for the first time but it gets dull fast because that's all they do. They should get the same treatment the land dinos got with social interactions with each other, as well as interacting with their environment. This could tie into what you put into your lagoon, such as a kelp forests or coral reefs, resulting in different ways the animals interact with them.
 
I agree that a animation expansion for lagoon animals would make them a lot more interesting. I also wish they could cohab with some other species as of right now they kill any other species outside of sandbox. Playful behavior like rolling around would be fun to watch.
 
Hello to the great team of Developers from Frontier,
would you please give the Landscapeing options of the Lagoons and Aviaries a bit more Love !!!
We need ....

1.)...soma plants, Seeweed , Rocks etc. to make the lagoons more Natural.
2.) ... Rocky coast and/or beach for the Lagoons without fences to build them nice in our enclosures. The Lagoon of JW 1 Had both of this Coasts in the Movie !
3.) ... an option to build lagoons direktly on our shallow water of the enclosures with more interaction between Dinosaurs and Marine Reptiles.
4.) ... for gods sake...please give the Marine Reptiles each an animation for surfaceing !!!.... this animals need to breathe fresh air with their lungs like whales today ;) !
5.) ... let dinosaurs go through the Gates of the Gyrospheres and Jurassic Tour ( at least in Sandbox) !!!!... So we can get ALL Dinossaurs in Aviaries ...
6.) ... let Pterosaurs go through the Gates of the Gyrospheres and Jurassic Tour ( at least in Sandbox) !!!!... So we can let ALL Pterosaurs free roem in our big enclosures !
7.) ... let Rangers/medis go through the Gates of the Gyrospheres and Jurassic Tour ( at least in Sandbox) !!!! Would give us much better options to take photos !
8.) ... all plants from the brushes as indlividual placeable Plants/logs/ Trees ! .... that´s the BIGGEST Step backwards from JWE 1 !!!!! ALL PLayer want this nice feature back!
9.) ... Manual controll for the ROV in the laggon and Drone in the Aviarys ( Just ike Heli and Rangerjeep for Photomissions etc,) woulld be so much fun and very useful.

I would really be happy if Your Team would take in consider at least some of this pionts for future updates of this good game, to make it great !
 
I posted this in another thread:
Got a list of dino era sharks to add to the game:
-Scapanorhynchus (50 cm long apperantly which could fill the role of the Compies in enclosures);
-Hybodus (2m of length which can fill the small swimmers);
-Cretoxyrhina (5.4m to 7 meters long making it a medium swimmer) ;
-Squalicorax (2m to 5 meters in lenght making it small to medium class depending on his designation, he was apperantly a scavanger which means he might have traveled in packs);
-Stethacanthus (70 cm which is another option as the Compies of the Lagoons now, he is known as the Anvil shark).


Now for this thread:
-a cave would look great both under and above water for land creatures;
-Lagoon markers for all three eras (seriously the marker decos need variety);
-Kelp forests, coral reefs, rocks, etc (environmental features);
-sunken ship decoration (imagine the sharks inhabiting it or a Giant invertebrate living there).

I really like this Pictures, because they show that the water in the Lagoons could be made a lot cleaner !
It would be cool, if we would get the Option for different grades of cleaner water, for exeample with an Menu in the Lagoon Hatcherys for waterfiltration !
Please Frontier, the Lagoons urgently need more decoration options ... and some more basic animations like surfacing and friendly interaction between individuals of the same species !

I do not know if it was here that I found this but submarine tour is "canon ish:"
 
Ooooh submarine tours would be cool! Especially if marine animals could attack them! And Paleoguy thank you for all of the visuals that give an idea to what we are talking about. Underwater tunnels are my fav idea so far but a actual tour would be amazing!
 
My main feedback for lagoons is that they are hard to see them from overhead or from viewing galleries because of how murky the water is. If possible, make the water less murky and more clear so it will be easier to see them. This could be why there are no decorations for the lagoons right now- it’s too hard to see kelp or rocks.

The shark feeder could be useable by other large marine carnivores, so it has more use besides the mosasaur.

Ideas:

Landscaping brushes or placeable items in lagoons. Kelp forests, corals, smaller schools of fish and rocks that they swim around are all ideas to make it look more natural.

Larger viewing galleries- the current ones are nice but being able to make wider and bigger ones will improve out view when we look out of them- plus the current sized ones seem small compared to how big lagoons can get.

Floating islands:

You are able to place a piece of land in a lagoon that can be terraformed and have rocks/ trees added to it. You can connect it to a bridge that goes over the lagoon or choose not to. The largest size can have a hotel or guest amenity buildings on it. So you can use them for decoration or for guests. Maybe even having a land animal paddock on it. The size of the island will reduce the total lagoon size so you may need to make the lagoon bigger to accommodate the animals living in them.

Tour tunnels and underwater domes:

Being able to see our lagoons from below might be even better in terms of lighting and seeing the dynamic animations. For tunnels there can be two kinds:

Pedestrian tunnels- where it goes from one side to another allowing access to different parts of the park. Foot traffic only. From either side of the tunnel guests have a view of the lagoon.

Vehicle/ Monorail tunnels- Where tour vehicles and the monorail can cruise through a tunnel to give a great view of the animals. Vehicles/ monorail only. From either side of the tunnel guests have a view of the lagoon.

My favorite- a underwater dome. A dome needs one connection to a path/vehicles tunnel and it can be in different sizes. The largest size domes could have amenities, decorations and small hotels inside- how cool would it be to eat lunch underwater or look out your hotel window to see marine animals? Domes, like tunnels, are on the bottom of the lagoons. A large dome will take swimming space away from a lagoon so it will have to be built even bigger to accommodate the animals. You can connect a foot traffic and a vehicles tunnel to it.

**EDIT I changed "Bubbles" to "underwater domes" as that makes much more sense. Lack of coffee in the morning :p
A bridge To a floating island Is bad. If we want to simulate real life, then a mosasaurs can jump and eat the people off. An underwater viewing dome is cool like were we have a dome in middle and To get there, one has to go underground and then a elevator to the dome.

People would die. An example is the dudes in fallen kingdom. They went nighty nighty

1.) You could use the Submarine Tour for lagoons with the smaller and not so agressiv Marine Reptiles ...... like the Gyrosphere tours in the Movie ( JWI) was only in an enclosoure inhabitated of herbivores ! In T-Rex kingdom or the Enclosures of the Raptors or the Indominus were no Gyrosphere tours... ;) !
2.) Its fun to drive in an big enclosure and watch your peacfully Dinosaurs, when out of nowhere an Carnivore attacks your jeep !!! Really intense if you drove the jeep 1.Person view and with an PS4 VR headset...lol.
