Instead of criticizing and longing for the old zoo, I will go over some positive aspects of current play![]()
1. Plane tasks are so much easier now! Because we don't need gems anymore for animals, one can just send off the planes without needing to fill it! This makes the game so much easier and pleasant.
2. The regatta is so much easier too now. Because planes are not so needed anymore, and no more of those pesky zoo tasks that were only useful if one invested so much time and energy in getting 56+ baskests, we simply decided to not bother doing tasks, at all! The pressure was getting to us anyway, so now the game is so much more pleasant, and we are trying to get back to Wood.
3. The animals now make one's life so much more aesthetically pleasing. I love the new animations, and those cards are so pretty. Luckily, the animals now serve no purpase at all, so it's much more fun and pleasant to collect them without needing to worry about which ones to get, how many gems each cost, or how many you need to be able to upgrade those old silly shops.
Also, we don't need to worry at all about which animal we might prefer to collect first - randomness is great! I, for example, decided early on to collect all the snow enclosures, and man, did it take a lot of work getting to all those high levels needed. I now feel so silly that I alreay built my Snowy Owl. Imagine that I could have just collected some cards!
Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate the devs and executives, for making the game so much calmer and pleasant, with no more silly choices, and no planning needed.
