We don’t need a third caiman when so many other groups of animals are lacking severely.
Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
Might want to check the zoopedia again, we may have a certain very large crocodile already ingame.
NA animal pack did have oddballs though, Arctic fox and prairie dog, it was just that they choose good oddballs, compared to some recent ones..This oddball talk is making me irrationally scaredThey CANNOT mess this up. We need a North America Animal Pack-type roster. No oddballs!
I don't even consider those oddballs, at least for North American zoos. I've seen prairie dogs many more times than I've seen crested porcupines. I also think that the fact that people were upset when we got the Arctic wolf instead of the Arctic fox in the Arctic Pack suggests they weren't oddballs. imo, they were more a sloth bear situation, wrong place, wrong time.
I think a cool oddball would be the South American river turtle as our first habitat turtle and second turtle in game. The females can get up to 200 pounds! Could also make for a good mixed species animal with the dwarf caiman or tapir/ capybara.
Otherwise an agouti, red legged seriema, black and white tegu, saki monkey, and a currasow can all make for good oddballs.

TBH for someone from North America there wasn’t a single animal from that pack I would consider an oddball pick. That’s how good the animal picks were for a North America pack, each one had a place and is a fairly common animal in zoos.
Oh all those are good.
To come back to the idea of Aviary & Aquarium pack, I found a very interesting video:

Actually, I don't need another cat in the game anymore, I think we have enough of them. SA has enough other animals that I think are better than another cat. For me that would be on the same level as getting another caiman. And one that fills the same niche as the Jaguar and looks the same too. (and I also find the water agument a bit strange, as far as I know jaguars also like to go into the water and swim after their prey)
My LAAMAP would look something like this:
1. Andean Bear
2. Squirrel Monkey
3. Black Howler
4. SA Coati
5. Patagonian Mara
6. Roseat Spoonbill/Scarlet Ibis
7. Greater Rhea
there is no space for a cat, sorry! Personally I would love the Kinkaju, Agouti and Black and White Tegu too, but yeah Frontier has maneuvered us into an uncomfortable corner.
I said another.
If we're going for South American oddballs, I think my favourite option would be either the red-footed or yellow-footed tortoise. Neither are my most-wanted tortoise species, but it would be nice to have a smaller tortoise species for habitats.
If we get any more crocodillians id want something medium sized if anything. The large end of the spectrum is pretty nicely covered with the gator, saltie and garial imo. And at the other end are the two caimans which are pretty small. Therefore the medium size range is pretty empty which makes the african slender snouted croc the best possible addition as far as crocs go since it fills both the niche of medium sized croc and african croc.
But to be honest id much rather see more lizards, turtles and tortoises instead of crocodillians

I listened to the Interview over the weekend. I'm a bit puzzled as to why she says "you'll be happy with us" - why does she say something like that?
We obviously weren't happy last year, why is she using a statement like that, she could have just left it at what he said "that they aren't finished with the PDLCs for the PC yet"
I've thought about it a lot, either it was a bit rash to say something like that, or they're planning something that would make us "happy". But what is the definition of "you will be happy with us" and what should we be happy about?
I still don't know what to make of it, but I don't want to read too much into it either.
But still I keep thinking "man, damn, WHAT is supposed to make us happy! Tell me!"

It could mean a whole load of things but it was most definitely directed to the upset nature of the pc audience but the main thing is that frontier wants to maintain their secrecy to keep us speculating yet again. It's very easy to read too much into these things and get too hopeful for amazing new packs that we keep coming up with.By the way:

- Could be pc players are still going to receive support after console port news often means end of support, helps to alleviate concerns about eurasia possibly being the last dlc - this is the most likely meaning
- Could be a hint to a year of better dlc lineups compared to the rather disappointing lineups for half of last year focusing an unhealthy amount of time on ungulates
- Hints to major updates to say birds, South America or a massive 20+ finale pack will lead to just disappointment if one thinks this way
Mmm, I was happy last year. Of course it could have been better, but we got 4 good packs, nice updates and many higlhy requested things (sloth, gibbon, porcupine, dromedary, devil, swan, wolverine, gift shops, brachiation, viewing domes, Malayan tapir remodel, null paths, several colourmorphs, temperate Oceania, another anniversary animal...). With every pack since the launch of the game there's has always being a disappointment about something especific, but I would say overall the community was happy last year. Then people are now panicking about the game ending soon and not having received some things they want, so they are saying that last year packs were bad, but I strongly disagree. I am very happy with Frontier team and the game, and I hope "I'll be happy with them" this year too.
I think it just means 'we've listened your complaints and wants" and so we'll get more SA and birds. I just hope it also means they'll drop the oddballs and bring us just the species with more demand (top 30-50 meta wishlists). Maybe it also means tree kangaroo, baboon, pelican, ducks, etc.By the way:

Or maybe they expect us to be happy just because support isn't over JUST YET lol
Classic developer talk. BTW they are saying this almost every year.By the way:

From series: say something, because you have to.
IF we can't have a new cat or dog then I hope for no tegu either! I really hope this tegu talk isn't going anywhere... UNLESS, instead of replacing the ocelot with tegu Frontier replaces the Andean Bear with tegu. I mean you want to talk an overrepresented group of animals... Bears! I think there are like only two species left and they are NOT a big family. I don't get why the Spectacled bear is so wanted in game to be honest.
And no I wasn't too happy with last year but that is because I will admit the grasslands pack spoiled me. Even the Twilight pack before (although I dislike the spooky theme!). I was so grateful for the Red Fox!
Objectively, if its possible to be objective I think last year was pretty good. Its just not what I wanted aside from Sloth Bear, second bat, sand cat...
