Planet Zoo - Franchise Mode Feedback

[SleepyEngi]

Do you make it a habit of speaking for others?

Did you forget that the OP also stated the following:



Those statements suggests that there will be aspects of the Franchise mode that will not be available in the Challenge mode. Those statements do not clarify that the only things missing from the new Challenge mode is that it will be offline and players won't be able to trade between players, there won't be leaderboards zoos and there won't be Community Challenges. There could be other aspects of the franchise mode that will not be present in the new Challenge mode. For that matter there could even be things in the new Challenge mode that won't be in the Franchise mode. In the following video from EGX it is mentioned, albeit vaguely, that there will be "zoo challenges in the new mode:

At the 2:34 mark the topic in regards to the new Challenge Mode begins. The dev's mention that the Community Challenges will be "replaced with zoo challenges" (keyword: replaced). Conservation Credits was not mentioned by the dev's in that video. In either case we can see there is a difference, even if it is a small difference, between what was written by the OP in this thread and what the dev's spoke about in the video of them at EGX. We shan't, therefore, take anything that has been stated by the dev's as golden as they might have changed things but have not informed the public of those changes. So I reiterate: We won't know a thing for certain until Nov 5th when the game is fully released.

@ Not_Dipper - Just because the two modes are supposed to be 'similar' it does not mean they will be the same. One difference is the "zoo challenges" of the Challenge mode vs the Community Challenges. We have only the Community Challenge in the Beta to go by to even try to ascertain what is meant by "zoo challenges". Sure we can assume anything that we want. But that's all all of are doing at this point in time. We are all 'assuming' things but none of us know with any real degree of certainty. So I reiterate: We won't know a thing for certain until Nov 5th when the game is fully released.

Zoo challenges were in franchise in the beta. Just that there were none available, only one community challenge in the community challenge tab.

Is this thread still being used? If I've noticed some things that are really bugging me about franchise mode. That animal trading menu is so difficult to use in so many ways.

• The filter button for the species name has a giant horizontal scroll at the bottom that doesn't help
• There are tons of instances where clicking places doesn't actually register the action and has to be repeated
• Reset filters only does a blank search and doesn't actually clear filter selections
• Storage shows and counts all animals even those that aren't in the trading center giving an artificial limit that shouldn't be there
• The click to next page is painful to use for large searches
• minor the entire menu has a different resolution to the buttons and text making it lesser quality than the rest
• Key presses like escape and the 'wasd' series don't work on the menu unless the mouse is off of the main body after that it works
• minor when connection fails during load the images come up as blank without any alt text that would be handy

Feel free to say that I'm doing something wrong or you don't agree with me, I'm still enjoying the game it just doesn't feel the same quality as their other titles

This shouldn't happen. It works completely fine for me since the Beta (except the Problem where sometimes juvenile Animals get placed into the Trade Center)
Maybe it would help to put the Animals in the Trade Center and after that again into their Enclosures. I hope it will get fixed for you. I think you can even send your Save File to Frontier, so they can try to fix it
