I think its great they keep adding new narrative patches, don't get me wrong, but it just feels a bit unbalanced that they keep releasing content for the [Paleontology] skill tree far in excess of content for other skills.
Like every week they seem to release a bunch of new fossils for them to discover. I think this is a problem because firstly it means less new content for other skills, all things being equal.
But also, perhaps more importantly its starting to become a bit immersion breaking. The devs are clearly running out of ideas for fossils, in the same way some later pokemon generations are a bit lackluster.
Where we have "yeah, so it looks pretty much like a tentacool, but its a different colour. But its not even a regional variant, it lives on land and is 'toadescool'. Its a totally new design" we also have "we've discovered an ancient snake, its like, a normal snake, but it was MASSIVE. The devs totally didn't take regular snake assests, scale them up 10 times, stick them in a patch and call it new content".
Seriously devs. Either work on content for other skills - when did [ironmongery] last have a significant patch?! Or get some new ideas in there. A dinosaur bird with 5 wings. A half octopus, half ostrich. There's two for free. Just stop with these lazy, immersion breaking excuses for new dinosaurs, or nerf the whole [Paleontology] career becauee its becoming a joke.
Dude all of the dinosaur updates were so peak, it was so fun to main one back in the day.
Don’t get me wrong, humans are the best thing that the devs have added, but the Jurassic set of updates were some of the best dino updates
Yeah totally, the actual playable Jurassic update was one of the high points of the game. Its purely all the retconning that's happened since to add content for people to dig up and "discover" that's the thing I've got an issue with.
It's just easter eggs for all the old dino mains. I say let them have the fanservice cause nowadays they can basically only go bird for their playthroughs.
Bro this is foreshadowing for when the inevitable [climate change related billion year old virus] event triggers. My bet is on soon seen as how the permafrost biomes are melting. It's gonna be a lot more entertaining than the 2020 rehearsal I'll tell you that much. I really think all that ancient world building and knowledge will come in handy then!
I actually got a pop up when I posted it to say this might break the sub rules because the devs don't do anything and new content (e.g. newly discovered dinosaurs) is actually created by players. Which maybe starts to explain this whole thing.
