lagoons should be priority now Frontier

Frontier ,lagoons need a lot of love and work compared to aviaries, please focus on this
I personally think that they are very wasted, there are many possibilities to do in the lagoons. For many of us it is the most beautiful part of the game..We've said it many times. vegetation, vehicles, more observation platforms, different fish or animals for food, molluscs or crustaceans. the lagoons offer an enormous range of possibilities. now they are abandoned.

A lot of people have writen good ideas for more Attractions and placeable decoration for the lagoons since the Year 2022 has begun.
While in Planet zoo IT IS POSSIBLE to install waterfilter to get more or less clear water, its still not the case for JWE 2.
Kelb forrest and some Rocks/ logs etc. should not be to hard to do, and as matter of fact you can place the columns of the monorail in the Laggons ! .....so why it should not be possible with rocks etc. ???
Sadly After many month of waiting and very few massages from frontier to this theme, i get the impression that Frontier has other Priorities for the development.
Planet Zoo etc. get much more attention and JWE 2 seems to get much less bugfixing and free updates as well as new DinoPacks as JWE I or Planet Zoo !
Not to release an REALLY JW Domion DLC with ALL shown species of the Prologe and Movie but instead to cut it down to a JW D Biosin DLC ...and even than don´t include all of their species ( for example moros intrepidus) is really a shame :cry: .
Please Frontier, proof me that i´m wrong and now that the Movie Hype is gone you don´t let die this game that fast!

Lagoons really need a substantial overhaul. I feel like we could add some lagoon specific brushes and maybe have the rocks in the current game be placeable in the lagoons. Would make Lagoons feel more lively compared to its current state.

How long have people been asking for these needed features/updates and frontier haven't even acknowledged these issues from my understanding? Seems like they're trying their hardest to ignore all of these criticisms in the hopes that people will eventually stop caring so they wont ever have to actually address the game's issues. For a moment it actually seemed like they were listening with their free update that released alongside the camp cretaceous dlc. Massive step in the right direction, but now? I don't know. I'm hoping we can at least just get a response from them saying they hear all of this being said.

Nah, this is just how Frontier operates. They clearly do listen, but they just do not confirm they are working on something until they have something to announce.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they are working on lagoon improvements or possibly planning lagoon improvements in the future. But these things take time. Even if they are working on such a thing right now. It could take months before we hear about it. And obviously they had to get the film DLC out first together with the film release.

Sadly,
a lot of people found the new Lagoons in JWE 2 reaaaallllly boring very fast after the lunch of the game !
The Models of the Marine reptiles and some animations are really nice, but a lot of chances for interaction between Pterosaurs,Visitors and Dinosaurs are NOT used !
1. There could be an animation for Mosasaurus to catch Pterosaurs in flight, like in the MOVIE !
2. The big Marine reptiles could destroy the glasswall of the underwaterviewingdomes that are ingame !... people would be flushed out into the lagoon, where marine reptiles would attack and most likely eat them.
3. If dinosaurs could destroy walls/fances of the lagoons they could fall into them and get eaten. ,...or Spinosaurs for example could catch Plesiosaurs .

Instead of focusing in another and another and another design for buildings that have the same function ( now lastgen console have to choose DFW,JP, JW and Biosin )
Frontier should focus on basic Decos which work in all of this SETS !
1. Waterfalls for the enclosures ....not as fountain !
2. Bridges over rivers, paths and lagoons !
3. Rocks,Logs and Kelp forrest for lagoons ....like even shown in the intro of the game :rolleyes: since day one !

Like I allready wrote many times before,to really look like the original Movie JW Lagoon from JW and JW Fallen Kindoom there need to be an Option to have not only our walls with its fence on topp as only Boundary between water and land !
The Origanl JW Lagoon had also rocky parts and sandbeaches as shores of the Lagoon !!!
With this, and the Option to let Laggoons connect to the shallow water of our normal enclosures, it would be a perfect expansion for an DLC for
Semiaquatic creatures like Nothosaurs, Deinosuchus and Sarcosuchus ( the Last 2 are Giant crocodilians which where featured in JP videogames or as JW Toys), and as free update swimming abilitiy for Spinosauroids !
For side B Islands it wouldalso be much nicer to have Lagoons without walls/fences.

As you can see there is also a underwaterfence which stretches some meters out of the water. Such fence would be very welcome to let many different Marine reptiles live in defined parts of the same big lagoon !

I hope that's the case here and they're not just ignoring this. Personally I'm tired of the dino pack dlc's as this game has more than enough for now. Decorations, and better terrain tools should be their main focus right now.

in the same way that the jurassic tour can go through the aviary, it would be a nice upgrade to do the same in the lagoon. perhaps through a huge glass conduit, through which some kind of transport vehicle can pass? Regarding the transparency of the water, I am sorry that I do not agree with those who request that the water in the lagoons be more transparent. I like it like that. if I saw it more transparent it would look like a dolphinarium or a pool but I respect every opinion of this great community. I would love to have a live bait, just like a goat in land animals. and to be able to release it and see it move. maybe some background animal like a crustacean. This way we would give more life to the lower part of the lagoons.

Will Frontier ever give us new Decorations or Attractions/Animations for the Lagoons ?
What kind of Update would you want to see in the future of JWE 2 ?

Priority should be ALWAYS fixing bugs, but yeah i guess that everybody gave up on that already? so sad. lol.

What kind of update would i want to see?

An update where they finally FIX all the main problems that made many people give up on this game. THAT would be an amazing update.

ehh ...nope! I play the game on PS4 and have next to no bugs....beside flying fisches in my enclosures...lol.
BUT people should not try do build mega parks with too mauch buldings /hotels because the workload for the Guests will sometimes crash the game,.....and if i have 200+ dinosaurs.....
Fixing Bugs should not for month and month and month and another month Priority, !.... A compony which want to show its know how should finally get this BUGS FIXED !!!
And if they are still not be able to, they should give the players that know the limits of their systems new Attraktions and Decorations in Updates while still FIX the Bugs!
Beside that the designer for new atraktions and decorations and the people which implement them into the game are in allmost every big gaming company are NOT the same as the People which try to fix the gme ....and not the BUGS ...lol.
Or do you think frontier is A indycompany with only 10 programmers/designers etc ?

Are you sure you are playing the same game than us?? or you just played for five minutes? . . . probably that. Say again that you dont experience bugs when you played for hundred of hours.

I played every level to have all species in sandbox and build there beautiful safari Parks and parks to "walk, drive and fly through in FPV ....;) .
Bugs and crashes happend , but I save the game every time before I made big changes ...
The only level which was hard to reach the 5 Stars to without crashing the game was the Canyon Map were the KI rangers and vets etc. are allmost usless and don´t find their way, even if you make streight as possible BIG PATHs to drive on. There its not easy to fitt the buildings in the right way to get enough Guests for the 5 Stars and i had wayyyyyy to many carnivores at the end. Because of the crashes and really stupid KI drivers this level took more than twice the time than every othe Level to reach 5 Stars or very good income. ( A Small hollydaypark can be much more fun than a big monster park if the drives and buildings are well placed .... I have 2 Kids and know from what I´m talkng from...lol !)
As I said..... I experienced Bugs ( and played at least enought time to have every species, building and allost every skin), but if you don´t want to wait till any time in the future the Devs fix the game hopefully (allmost) complete, you have to restrikt yourself not to have to many guests and dinosaurs at the same time in one Park.
As in real life, if you set up the structure of your Buildings, paths and enclosoures smart, you don´t need to many guests and Buildings to reach 5 Stars without crashing.
If you want to build BIG PARKS with as many guests , species and visitors as possible i would recomend to play it on a reeaallly powerfull gaming PC ;) !
The PS 4 and especially the PS4 Pro is powerfull enough to have a lot of fun with JWE II at a low cost level for the hardware, but a good Gaming PC has a lot more options for the Game.
By the way ...I played all Species and levels free in 2021 .....maybe there were less bugs than now :LOL::ROFLMAO::cool:!
No... but it was no Problem to get what I wanted ( Everthing for Sanbox ;)! ) even with the Bugs.
Either I had to learn to avoid crashes and bugs by building the Parks efficient or would have to quit playing the Game on PS4 ..... I managed to do the first.
I hope Friontier will eventually get the most Bugs fixed, but I will for sure not wait till that day to have fun.
