why DONT WE have actual herds of goats and monsters???
why are they sprinkled around but never densely packed like pig farm or rabbit island?
i would loooooovveeee diversity !!
HEEEELLLL YEA .
imagine besides pigs and skeletons you attacked by 400 hens LOL
or maybe swarmed by a pack of feral enlarged wasps???
or fishmen that turn into mermaid when they touch water???
they have the sprites already for pirates! why dont we have sirens that sing sea shantys???
Clearly it was 420 somewhere last night…
it was mostly box wine and crackers but i do have my lil stashy stash just for the turn up.
speaking of which you think they will give the animals emotes? or the enemy npcs more emotes ? like a tea bag command?
. can you imagine a shivreled up skeleton hobbling over to tea bag you as your screen goes grey?
It never hurts to be prepared.
Maybe, but really - the only one I see needing them is the giraffes…they could give a mean side-eye.
Why not?
Yeessssssss they just express sass so flawlessly !!
or maybe a really snappy head turn ? lmdao " i dont have time for this"
and lmdao the skeleton dancing
Would love to play a game at some point with herds and seasons along with weather changes that affect the animals. It would be great if the animals interacted with the world at large.
i want to have a fire slug running inside my House every 1 Houer he drop a Fire Mold i can loot it or its lost
Pretty sure giraffes would be just like deer / stags in this game.
Lynxes are like wolves.
Every bird is a turkey.
Pretty sure Amazon isn’t capable of having more than 5 types of animals because that would require creativity (oh it would not as there are thousands of mammals out there they could simply bring into this game).
I’d have settled for more than two or three enemy types. Like, WOW…
true… permanently wolfs, bisons and crocos is quit boring
specially if every zone has a wolf type…
uncreative af
I remind you that the date of the game is 1700 everything on the island is from that time or before, where the ships are not very big, also everything on the island (except the old ones) are remains of pirates and searchers of treasure that as a result of their greed, they arrived at that cursed place. Why are they going to wear giraffes or hippos that are African animals at a time when Europeans dominated? I understand that we cannot be historically strict because if we stick to the history of pirates and corsairs, there should hardly be women in NW since pirate ships and treasure hunts, from 1500-1700 women were not allowed, but about the animals, they will have to find some kind of justification in the lore if they want to put it
They all ready have a huge variety of biomes, so it wouldnt be too hard a stretch… I could see hippos or giraffes in Ebonscale.
It’s called suspension of disbelief. You know, that same thing that lets some people believe a mating pair of every animal, bird, or reptile on the planet - plus feed for all of them - fit on a 510ft long boat.
Further, the Island is not said anywhere to have been - throughout its thousands of years of existence - strictly populated by European stock.
Cause giraffes are SASSY.
And big game hunters lived since ancient times. i can completely vouch for the lore changing it up because foreign animals were often dropped on vacant islands presumed to be only used for harvesting of raw minerals.
also incase the dev team needs a wiki link.
"believed that the Clovis and Folsom cultures, ending around 8,000 BCE, were primarily big-game hunters, ending coincident with the extinction of Pleistocene megafauna.[8] "- wiki big game hunting
Big game isnt just elephants and african specific animals but thats what most people popularized.
Dont forget we are the reason buffalos and the african elephant almost went extinct. But i digress it’s more culturally sound if they used the fact poachers were catching these animals en masse like Hiply said but something happened to make them all snap and hunt the player base.
Did you read the note about the pigs over running the farm and murdering everyone that kept killing them and their offspring?
like savagely i mean, they killed the dude on his camp fire/ tent and KEPT killing him over and over while he respawked the next day to the same fate of horror.
it’s completely possible to say maybe a cargo ship of exotic animals with pure hatred for being used as livestock are now sreking revenge for their capture.
or maybe lets have more diversity as far as what we can hunt if there is a seperate part of tge island where different animals roam together. Kinda like those european reserves that sell a pass to kill deer, black bear, and red partridge. Id be down to pay 500 gold to hunt actual game in bulk.
Why is everything so thinly spreadcout? they can make a place called bunny island but we cant have a giraffe sanctuarary that interconnects to the plot due to pillaging different nations???
why not??
look how cuteeeeee thooo omgggg 
id do literally anything for this to be an emingame emote lmdao.
just imagine killing someone under a giraffe and it triggers their side eye emote LOL. " buddy. this might not be your game if you losing like that…"
The screen shot would be the icing on the cake lmdao
you know what would make it fair tho??
if se had these different sections of island with bigger beasts but its only accessible to flagged players.
In the wilds you gotta ve wild, you know?
Want that cute exclusively rare red panda meat?? you gonna have to do some killin. lmdao and they should increase the AI range of vision at night.
on a side note. speaking of vision.
why cant we have turtles or whales since its 1700s??? they were PLENTIFUL back before whale hunting fucked the economy
omg.
yes.
or like i wish the wolves had a natural predator in some biomes besides the player base.
like i wish the animals interacted with eachother.
maybe the wolves bite or nudge eachother and it hurts their hp. And they eat a rabbit to gain hp back??
maybe have packs walk around purely with an alpha infront while 6 minor wolves walk behind him ??? like before they made the alpha stop spawning wolves in opr, i thought it was an awesome mechanic
You know?
. hmm. why did they lower the difficulty of these fights and interactions? i really don’t understand why they downgraded the alpha to just a single wolf but i wish they add more content instead of removing.
I would ve happy with a porcupine and big ass quils that randomly root players if they get close to them. Cause they’ll enlarge and stab you basically trapping you. So you gotta hit it from a distance or flip it like a pancake using your hammer smash. lol.
you know? just craving deeply varietyyy ahhh
you ever wonder why the packs of animals dont maul eachother ?
well cept slight interactions like when brute knocks everything away lol
or the bombers blowing up everything.
I mean just once i wanna see the goats head butt a wolf.
or thorpe. Imagine pulling thorpe ai into the wild animals and they aggro him lol.
Giraffe should have a 1hko mechanic.
like they swing their head towards you and it sends yiu flying x100000 the distance of hammer back off perk.
I’m loving the ideas!
Also… Auto-pathing! (Or at least more organised, you notice that mobs already obey certain pathing rules and are leashed to a location.) The AI in game is already quite capable at traversing passable terrain, chasing you no matter which rock you hide on so using mechanics already in game:
A safari expedition, perhaps?
heck yeah.
maybe some lion king music playing in the background?
i love all your additions !!
you think they will give us the option to have pride emblems??? or like warthogs?? wild pig pens on our homes???
