Yeah that's pretty much also my list. I would add the two remaining bear species just for the sake of completion (would be weird they leave them out after adding the sloth bear)

problem is i can't think of any pack that could cover all that. LATAM animal pack comes close, could even include one of the bears, pelican and duck along monkeys, coati and rhea. But the rest doesn't fit in just one pack. We need at least two more packs. One focused on the americas and the other on african savanas.

Screw the bears at this point honestly, never understood the ABB in the first place but who am i to judge and while i like the spec bear in the context of a mountain pack i really really dislike the idear of them taking up a slot in a south america pack.

I've been out of the loop for a while, is there a reason why every youtuber is saying the next pack will be the last pack?

Just this financial report. Only shows one upcoming DLC for fiscal year 2024. AND did not mention anymore further development. Didn't say the end yet. Typically they will mention there will be further developments.

My goodness, I'm reaching the point where I wish the forum would have an option to hide posts from someone if something from their trigger list would be mentioned. I would put "essentials" on there faster than my fingers can type.

Plus, I may be imagining stuff, but I expirienced this community as way more happy for what we have with the game and way more positive. Now it's all snarkyness, lack of empathy with other players AND the workers at Frontier, all of that.
I worry more about what PZ 2 future we are facing if they cut back on staff so much, then what we are missing in PZ1.

A good game can not be made without (a lot) of good people. And that, by the way, also goes for a good fare well pack.

What annoys me is that while yes many wishes arnt essential anymore, most peoples wishlists arnt created equally.
Id argue for a complete zoo game experience the minomum still lacking are:

  • Petting zoos (atleast 3 more animals)
  • An african monkey
  • Southamerican monkeys (atleast 2 of them)
  • Non primate South American Animals (also atleast 3 more, strong preference for rhea, mara and coati)
  • A baboon
  • a Pelican
  • A duck (better 2)
  • Atleast 2 other birds (grey crowned crane, roseate spoonbill, white stork, western cappercallie, victorian crowned pidgeon etc)

Imo thats a perfectly reasonable list of essential additions to round out the game and wouldnt be to hard to fit into dlc.
A petting zoo pack can deliver on the petting zoo (duh) and a duck, the much requested south america pack could also cover the south american animals (duh) and especally as an animal pack some extra birds (scarlet ibis, roseate spoonbill, rhea, brown pelican, muscovy duck) and both the baboon and the african monkey can fit in alot of different packs.
4 more packs could easily round out this game to be a great and well rounded out roster to leave the game on and it would especally make some of the more disappointing ommissions like the hamadryas baboon in arid much less painfull

Yeah that’s a pretty good lineup of what an ideal pack for the entire player base could look like. Not my ideal, not your ideal, not player ABC ideal, but for everyone.

People have to accept that Frontier is not set on making a DLC roster of any one particular persons wants and it seems like that’s not going over so well for some.

We have to adapt. Example: i would much rather get the spectacled bear and the Brazilian Porcupine, and would be happy to give up the baboon for both..BUT that’s just my own wants. Thus I’m content not getting the BP and getting a baboon if I would still get the SB.

Give and take. Sometimes ya gotta think of the bigger picture and what other people want.

Thats not a pack idear, thats a fever dream

That was the point 🤣

I made it not as a realistic finale pack, but as the one that would get us pretty much every last animal that people really want, even if they’re not necessarily essential.

Let’s just stop with all the doom posting and the essential lists. Let’s get back to what this thread really is. Besides, a console release doesn’t mean an end. We never know what could be coming, so why focus on the worst? Let’s just be a better community like how we used to be.

So I imagine the final pack might be something like 12-20 animals, but going off of this maybe we get something with these guys:

  • Nigerian dwarf goat
  • Highland cow
  • Kunekune pig
  • Black and white colobus monkey
  • Black howler monkey
  • Spider monkey/ Squirrel/ Golden lion tamarin
  • Rhea
  • Patagonian mara
  • Coati
  • Hamadryas baboon
  • Great white pelican
  • Mandarin duck
  • Mallard duck
  • Grey crowned crane
  • Secretary bird/ capercaillie/ crowned pigeon
Assuming we get 20 (idk why I think but I can really see it as a final farewell, though realistically they might only double it to 16 at most) we would still have 5 open slots.

In my opinion the final pack should be heavy on non-great ape primates and birds anyways. Throw in some South American and some Farmyard and yeah I’m sold. Anything extra works for me too.

To be fair, I think we all knew the leadup to the Spring DLC was going to be extra crazy. And we're only a third of the way there...or less.

Paired with the sudden increase of not seen before community posts on steam and youtube. It's like Frontier is trying to get as many people to the game before a big announcement.

That is indeed odd. I mean... if it were the console announcement, getting all on board via PC sales doesn't make too much sense. At least it does not to me.
I would normally not put meaning into a sale, they do them all the time, but the leveled-up community engagement is odd. Guess they want to make sure the last DLC hits with a bang. So hopefully it WILL end on a high note, not only for them, but also for us.
As much as I want my Coati (and my raccoon dog, but I'll never get it in this game), a normal pack just would not be a propper good bye for me. (Though it isnt a good bye for me anyway, but you know what I mean).
