@yoav_r sorry in advance as it is not my intention to derail this thread, which I think is very useful and has its own purpose.
But for the sake of keeping things organised with regards to a potential meta-wishlist for PZ2, I'll use this post to try and get a hold of what could be done. Private conversations only allow 6 participants in total so that is an issue, but perhaps a different thread could be opened to discuss all this.
@yoav_r @SuzieSky @SpookDoc @Fini @DarthQuell @ReptoMin @Spiderhawk: You've all either shown interest or have already run a meta-wishlist of some sort. Should we start a new thread specifically to discuss how to approach this, see if more people are interested to collaborate and how tasks could be split? I think it’s a massive project that requires lots of thinking and lots of questions to answer before it even starts.
@Swjosdotschka Thanks again for your words.
See? What you bring up here is one of the things that could be discussed and I honestly see no clear answer.
When would it make sense to start a new meta-wishlist? While I tend to agree with you on the fact that probably many of the base-game animals for PZ2 are already planned, I think 2 whole years (if not 3?) allow for a lot of changes. If a meta-wishlist for PZ2 was started now, I'm pretty certain it would have some degree of influence on what animals would be prioritised. But let's be blunt: just like they’ve done with PZ, many of the most requested are bound to end up in paid DLC. Also, with no clear indication of how many animals would there be, how habitats, exhibits, aquariums (if happening) or aviaries (if happening) would work, it’d be hard to estimate what direction to take when making the list. Could it encompass the whole animal kingdom to cover all the above systems? Okay, how demanding and tricky would it be to keep track of everything and keep things organised? We all know the answer.
