#THE PREMIUM TROPHY MOUNT PACK PROBLEM - SPOILERS

While I am very excited about the new additions to the Trophy lodge and how we can show off our trophies, something upsets me.
The ‘special floor mount’ or the first rock mount, is only able to be used for 5 species! It should be able to be used for as many animals as possible, and why is there only 1 rock mount? I think by now we should have over a dozen kinds of rock mounts, or tree branch mounts. Or some form of new habitat to display our trophies on.

Don’t get me wrong, I am very excited about this, I just think there should be more than 2 special mounts with this pack, or Expansive Worlds should, well, expand their worlds by making more. I'm not saying we need a whole entire overhaul for creating taxidermy mounts, but I think we just need some more habitat for our animals.

As well as more options with our animals position, for example on the wall mounts, there is barely any neck on the animal, just the head, and the plaques are giant on them, I would like if we could have shoulder mounts for everything. Just more movement for our trophies, they all seem static.

Im very excited about the new lodge additions as well. Hopefully going forward they will add more new additions in some more Lodge DLC content.

Would definitely buy that over guns all day for me personally.

I think this is a good start. Don’t get me wrong, I’m also a bit disappointed that we can’t put more on those premium rock/wall mounts, but I think the fact that we have them in the first place is a good start and can lead to more of these cool mounts.

They are introducing an entire plaque and plinth customization system, along with a "premium" pack. If the community likes it, I feel like they will keep adding more, just like they did with weapon customizations. It is probably limited to base game animals right now because it is new and they don't want to exclude players without access to DLC animals. I honestly think they will expand it to other animals and more premium display types later. Maybe they'll even do something with player challenges?

Rigging animals so they look good on those mounts, and giving them multiple poses, likely takes a lot of time. I think it is a lot to expect everything at once, but now that the system is in place, I really hope we will see more down the line. The groundwork mechanics are there now (or will be very soon), so there is a lot to be optimistic about.

I really doubt that. Just look at how many weapon customizations you could potentially buy. I am sure these mounts will be vastly more popular.

I have a feeling that eventually they’ll allow for stuff like Bobcats, Lynx, and probably even Snow Leopards on those Branch Mounts, it’ll likely just take time.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part but I hope they are putting a system in place to provide these trophy lodge mount options instead of cosmetics ....

So maybe some upcoming community challenges where you can earn a different texture of branch or rock ..... Along with packs that you can purchased for each reserve ...

That's kind of where I hope they are going with this ....

I think all game birds should be placed onto the branch mount like all grouse species

Struggling to find a spot to throw my youtube comment in, hope it's good to throw it in here, if not I can delete it. Some constructive criticism!

I really hope they'll fix the disappearing trophies, insane lag when looking a certain direction, trophy information not popping up on certain mounts, the sound of placing and removing a trophy when loading into the lodge, and all the other known issues with lodges within this update. If not that's just a huge misfire to the trust within the community whom are screaming about these issues, there just isn't enough in my opinion to be a fully fleshed out DLC to be implemented into the game and for users to actively purchase.

Give us more branch variations like redwood, birch, driftwood and oak - different soils like gravel, mud, moss and sand - more foliage types like bushes, berry bushes, ferns, cattails - different rock types to add onto the granite they have like limestone, diorite, basalt, obsidian, slate and marble - and even water-themed mounts for the smaller full-body platforms for the waterfowl and class 1-2, maybe even some specific class 3 animals with customizable water plants like duckweed, water lettuce, lotuses, etc. I hope it does not go this way, but I will not be surprised of they release more lodge cosmetic DLCs in the future to make up for some of the things they wanted to add but didn't for whatever reason. I understand it takes time and money, but if they put in the extra time and details that I mentioned it would be praised rather then shunned for the most part by the community from what I have seen so far.

I am in no way bashing Call of the Wild, only trying my hand at constructive criticism. They need to make money and how they do it is how they choose to, but they also do need to listen to their community more when it comes to these things. If they postpone the lodge DLC and add in the different variations that I mentioned, or even different ones altogether, then this DLC could no doubt garner much more positive attention and praise then in it's current state which is drawing in mostly negative attention. I hope the team takes the time to delve into and reflect on what the community is saying about this and make the needed changes and additions, in turn that will no doubt strengthen the bond with developers and players.
