They were way better 4 years ago and even in the qualifying stage for the world cup, currently they look poor, slow, static...

I'm not following these football players much but isn't Lautaro a world class striker? Enzo Fernandes was like a huge talent wasn't he? Did he not live up to the hype? What about MacAlister? And the center backs?

What's the deal why do they all look so poor?

I did a huge Planet Zoo 2 wishlist a long time ago, and so far all of these things I wrote on the list:

CONFIRMED:
-Vastly improved graphics, lighting etc..
-Aviary animals
-Aquatic animals
-Underwater Tunnels
-Improved Animal AI, behaviour and interaction
-Different seasons and weathers
-Walkthrough aviaries
-Improved pathing system, scaling, brushes for nature, terraforming etc...
-Improved water placement system
-Vast ground texture variety (not exactly confirmed but the ground textures are looking amazing)
-Deep object customization (colors, materials etc...already confirmed kind of with flexi color)
-Larger maps (If I remember correctly they mentioned this)
-Workshop system like JWE but improved
-Customizable restaurants, shops etc..
-Global world maps and locations
-Global conservation events or scenarios (Exactly kind of what the new mode is)
-Spline connection system for building fences or mesh or similar types of buildings (Not exactly this but bird aviary buildings seem similar to this concept)
-No obstructed messages or much more free building instead of getting 5 meters close to a path and can't place objects (Seems to be confirmed from the zoo footage we got)

RULED OUT:
-Multiplayer connect mode where you can connect with someone and he can visit your zoo from another place in the world and explore it together

UNCONFIRMED:
-Waterfall system like JWE
-Different types of pre-built theme buildings that you can change in the options (like JWE2 had for easy different themed buildings for beginner players)
-Improved Exhibit system (At least a couple different shapes and sizes if nothing else)
-Fully aquatic exhibits (small fish, seahorses...)
-Multiple staff entrances to habitats
-First person zookeeper mode
-First person mode interactivity with things (feeding animals, playgrounds, drinks, food etc)
-Playgrounds for guests and other interactive things and entertainment things
-Animal feedings, shows etc
-Staff vehicles you can drive first person
-Better crowd simulation, crowd managment, spacing, less clustering...
-Harder zoo managment especially on harder difficulty in terms of finance etc
-Zoo map mode you can open up with a button that shows your entire Zoo in 2d and you can see animal icons on it (like JWE... or like Zoo Tycoon that had it)
-A good starting animal roster (considering PZ1 has 215 or so habitat/exhibit animals, and now we got 2 new types (birds, aquatics) it would suck for that roster to get completely cut off... ideally I would really enjoy having at least 90-100 (habitat/exhibit animals) with around 50-60 or more aquatics and birds, even thats cutting the roster about 60%.

I mean with the things we saw so far, I will love PZ2, and enjoy playing it ALOT.... but I would for sure love to see the unconfirmed things also in game, or at least a good chunk of them.

What about you guys? Which things from my list or which other things I did not mention would YOU LOVE to see in PZ2 that are not confirmed yet?

Something I haven't heard too many people talk about is how cool it would be to have a map feature, where you can open the map of your zoo and see the animals, habitats, layout... something like JWE has... example:

I was just thinking about something.

I think PZ2 will focus alot on the normal habitat animals as they are the most popular and important.

However with two completely new types of animals we got, birds and aquatics.. I'm thinking the potential to have an insane amount of animals is here surely... I'm thinking 400 or 500 or more, surely it has to be right? After all the DLC.

If you think about it, the normal habitat animals are BY FAR different and more unique than for example say groups of small fish or general birds or parrots.

It's much easier to make a few more groups of small fish for example or a few other groups of parrots etc... Than say a crocodile or a hippo or an elephant or a monkey... Like they are very very very different from each other, there's a lot more variety there.

So even tho I think frontier will put alot of focus on habitat animals for dlc content I think we will get slot of aquatics and birds aswell simply because they are easier to implement and add new ones.

What do you think?

The new update got me curious about the game, but im wondering if the game has an option to lock age? For example if I just want to play antiquity without going further in age etc... can you lock ages like that?

1.Pocket items : 5/5

Absolutely amazing, love it, now you ALWAYS have some mobility if you have shockwaves, its a long cooldown so not spammable at all or OP in any way, but it gives you that extra thing you need at times whether to move around the map or to use it in a dire situation or in a tactical way... its absolutely A HUGE W.

2.Starting match with weak grey gun and shield : 4.5/5

Great change if you ask me, sometimes you simply have really bad RNG when you drop and then you get punished by someone who just happened to get lucky and got a gun while you are without.. but he is inferior to you as a player, we all had that... One of the most frustrating things in Fortnite.. this completely fixes it, you now have a weapon and a fighting chance, and if you are a better player a decent chance to win and get out of that situation, no more frustration with bad rng drops.

3.Infinite stamina with pickaxe : 5/5

I just hated the fact that when you lost stamina when moving around the map it was SLOW AF... if you got unlucky and got no movement or anything... it was a pain... now this changes it, you can sprint as long as you want with your pickaxe which removes this frustration and in addition makes map rotations faster and better meaning more action in the game, less slow games.

4.Glider redeploying and cutting and the ability to deploy in any fall : 4.5/5

Amazing change, gives sooooo much more tactical options off drop aswell as being able to deploy from mountains or other taller places makes rotations better, it makes the movement better and also opens up more tactical options and is just fun, great change.

5.Fall damage death removal : 3/5

Is it just me or is this kind of pointless with the ability to deploy the glider? But in any case if you have a brainfart moment it doesn't punish you and send you to lobby, its not a bad change at all, its alright.

6.Overshield regain upon elim : 4.5/5

Absolutely amazing and much needed, directly targets third parties.. not that its a complete solution but it certainly makes third partying a bit more punishing than before and gives players more of a fighting chance than before... wouldn't mind like 50+ extra health/shield in addition to the overshield hence the 4.5 rating but its a good start and change.

7.Faster reboots : 4/5

I guess its alright, I wouldn't really care if they did or didn't do this, but I do see the point of it, it makes rebooting more viable and faster/easier meaning more players to return in games on average and more action, shooting, fun..

8.Harder natural cover : 4.5/5

Making objects harder to destroy makes cover more meaningful and positioning and cover more important, so a very good change.

Whats the difference when taking photos in master mode vs photo mode? Does photo mode sharpen the photos more? I am really interested in the x9 ultra but the only thing thats holding me back so far is that the photos are too soft, if you zoom in or crop images the quality is quite bad and soft and smooth, is there a difference in these modes? What did you guys notice?

As someone who loves building stuff (love minecraft also) I just can't believe that after 1 year (when I stopped playing lego fortnite exactly because of these issues that frustrate me) I can not believe that NOT ONE THING that was a big issue for me and many other players was actually fixed... thats just mind boggling...

I guess epic just doesn't give a S***...

Considering how big games like minecraft and similar are... there are ALOT of players who LOVE these games... LEGO Fortnite IMO could be one of the most popular modes, maybe even have similar or more players as battle royale... but I guess they just don't care at all.

1. The crazy insanely low complexity limit - Still here, not fixed (Could easily find a solution for it to be cross platform)

2. Saving your own blueprints to be able to replicate the same build many times - Still doesn't exist

3. Searching for items by name when building - Still doesn't exist, SERIOUSLY? Can't even add such a simple thing??

4. At least some limited type of terraforming so you can kind of flatten some parts of terrain with hills - Still non existant

5. Can't plant trees or nature to be able to decorate your town or whatever with nature, a park, a garden etc....

6. Still can only move pieces left and right in 4 directions, but still no buttons to move a piece up or down? SERIOUSLY? After so much time?... thats just a joke

7. Ability to have different color options for certain pieces, say roofs etc... How is this hard to implement? lol

These are just my main gripes, I have at least twice as many smaller issues...

I can't believe they didn't address EVEN 1 of these, do they simply not care or what? Very frustrating and disappointing to be honest.

You know what I'm talking about, this is especially prevalent on vivo phones but also others, where you take macro shots of small insects, flies etc... And see every strand of hair, the eyes with complete clarity and details like a super high res microscope photo of it.

Obviously phones with their small sensors can not do anything like that or resolve any such details, it's all ai regenerated and rebuild and basically not really true to life but fake reconstruction.

Now the funny thing is some people when you tell them that get mad and angry and try to downplay it and even argue that it's all true and all 100% phone lol.

So basically what I want to know is, what is your opinion on this? Are these fake moon shots and fake super close insect shots actually something you like or are you not a fan of it?

I personally find these photos quite amazing but it bothers me alot that they are fake and I can't really ignore that, it just bothers me quite a lot and as much as I'd love a phone being able to do such shots it's really holding me back, the fact that so much is reconstructed and fake.
