Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

- Start date
I don't think so
I don't remember anything related to the Black and White Ruffed Lemur or the Red Deer in the free updates, not even the dlcs. But it would have been a cool way of hinting the anniversary animals!
Are you aware Beluga Whales can't survive in captivity?The one type of animal I don't want (at this point) is aquatic animals...
The ONLY reason being is because there are still sooooo many land animals to add.
That and they couldn't do the oceanic world justic in the present DLC formats. So IF they added aquatic I'd hope it is in a larger format! AND, just to add my most wanted aquatic animal is Beluga Whale
Only thing I can think of is the Sumatran Orangutang (because we got brachiation for the Bornean in the last update). But I stole that idea from Leaf's latest video so it's not really mine. LOL
Don't even say his name.
? Beluga whales are featured in countless aquariums where they do pretty well, much better than other whales.
They migrate just like Orcas. They probably need a larger area of water.
Beluga are actually the only species of whale that seems to function pretty well in captivity.
Belugas also. And dolphins if you count them
I said belugas. Dolphins not so much.
I said that because their death rates are higher. Also because poor welfare in captive cetaceans has been linked with cases of illness & lethargy.
There is a difference between "can't be kept adequate in captivity" and "can't survive" though. There are a lot of animals that can survive in captivity but suffer. And then there are animals like the white shark that just were never successfully kept in captivity.
I'm all for advocating to not keep whales and dolphins in captivity, but we should keep it to facts.
That said, personally, even if we let whales and dolphins out of the discussion, in my opinion an aquarium DLC would stray farer from the game than most other DLC ideas. Aquariums are often seperated and not neccessarily essential for a zoo. We got a bunch of zoos without fish.
And as I said elsewhere, the free swimming of the animals we have already has it's issues, same as free climbing. I'd much rather have looped birds in this case, but unless a 20+ huge DLC that too seems kind of pointless by now. Like, there wouldn't be enough variety anyway otherwise and it just would fire up a discussion about "why that bird and not this" because there wouldn't even be a chance of getting similar / other birds next. I know what I'm talking about, I can safely say my time with the Giant Otter vs. Asian Small Clawed and Seal vs. California Sea Lion etc. was frustrating.
I don't know, if we really have only 1 DLC left, I think Frontier should not open new "concepts" and that includes basically anything that is much different from the current roaster. Fish, flying birds, fully aquatic mammals, petting zoo animals (though I admit an animal pack would maybe do them justice enough, I personally still wouldn't put my vote on it).
That's because they are pelagic. Just make a natural lagoon just like in JWE2 but place a gate that opens to the open ocean since they migrate.
Does this go for a Mountains pack as well?New challenge: Don't talk about Highlands pack for the next week
I love how people claim aquatic mammals won't be controversial and yet, every time it gets brought up... It only takes like, 3-4 posts for it to become a flat-out argument.
Anyway. I don't understand the aquarium hype. It would be nice to get a handful of very specific species (e.g., piranhas, maybe some bigger freshwater fish, jellyfish) implemented as exhibit species with different sized/shaped exhibits... But I don't know that I'd ever feel like I needed more.
When you start ebbing into the smaller tropical fish, the number you'd need to make it feel realistic would straight-up crash the game if you tried building an actual full/proper aquarium.
Gonna focus my wishful thinking energies on naked mole rats instead.

Well I'm not talking about Aquarium animals because its a waste of time lolNew challenge: Don't talk about Highlands pack for the next week
Omg, we should be friends.New challenge: Don't talk about Highlands pack for the next week
This is a challenge made in heaven in my book.By the way, I'm out of the loop, but did people talk much about oceania as a next pack pre teaser stream?
Before the 'mixing it up' teaser, very few actually mentioned oceania itself, more of a islands pack but not many thought it was the leading pack idea. It was temperate, temperate, temperate for months.Omg, we should be friends.
