We entered the phase before a new DLC where we just pass the time for fun until release.
So let's do a little retrospective, and rank the PZ packs. I was inspired to do this thread by a ranking video of @DeLadysigner on youtube.
So here's my Ranking, Tierzoo style:
What is your ranking?
So let's do a little retrospective, and rank the PZ packs. I was inspired to do this thread by a ranking video of @DeLadysigner on youtube.
So here's my Ranking, Tierzoo style:
- Outstanding pack - a must have
- Great pack - Adds a lot to the game, really good to have
- Good pack - Nice to get if you like the animals/region
- Meh pack - Wait to get on a sale
- Bad pack - Not worth it
- Aquatic pack - Really great animals and scenery pieces, and new diving features.
- South America pack - Again, great animals and must have scenery pieces. Also fills up the missing SA niche.
- Australia pack - A bit less versatile pack, but amazing animals, marsupials and the cassowary, and fills up the Oceania niche a bit.
- North America pack - Added many great animals, including diving animals, the first rodents in the game, and animals from diverse biomes. The pack also helped cover Europe and northern Asia along the way.
- Europe pack - I like the animals personally, and the scenery is amazing, also to me it is not as exciting as other packs.
- Africa pack - Great animals, great scenery, but I don't use it a lot, and I still can't get over the disconnect between the theme (North Africa), and lack of actual North African animals in the game, rendering the scenery somewhat unuseable.
- Arctic pack - I really like the scenery, and after the Polar Bear was updated and more polar animals were added in teh aquatic pack, this pack became a lot more useable to me, but still somewhat lacking IMO
- South East Asia pack - I am really dissapointed with this pack, which is a shame because I was really hyped for it. It's missing a clear headliner, with the two obvious headliners Orangutan and Komodo Dragon already being in the game, and misses two very expectd animals from the region: Gibbon and ASC otter. Also the tapir model is a reskin, and the Clouded leopard is still buggy to this day. There is no scenery, and there's a lack of SEA plants in the game which makes it hard to build diverse habitats for these animals. I'd still recommend getting it on a sale, but it really doesn't get anywhere close to the potential such a pack had.
- Deluxe pack - This one is complicated. A lot of its appeal was in eta access, which is obsolete now, but its price has not gone down after the beta. I absolutely love the animals, and I think the Komodo Dragon is a must have, but it's really not worth its price for the content you get. HOWEVER, if you but it bundled with the base game in a sale, I think it's worth it.
