Argentavis is now a giant Pigeon.

[Z3RBi]

The Argentavis now looks like a huge pigeon.
How can a game designer change such a beautiful animal from the look of an eagle to a f***ing giant pigeon? Not even the preview screenshots have shown how the bird stands there like now. Please change at least the attitude the birds head has, so it doesnt stand there with the head so high. Wildcard.. please!

Anyone agree with me?

i have seen so many pigeons... i see them everyday. What i am complaining about is this huge change in attitude at idle position. I know it shouldn't look like an eagle, like it did before but nor should it look like it does now. The new feathers are good, but the thin legs aren't in my opinion. The head needs to be lowered a little in order to give it a look like real Vulture in "standby". When it's active, walking and flying around or lurking for prey or what ever, its alright. But not in idle when it's just standing around, thats my complaint. Sure you can have another opinion on that.

It stands just fine IMO xD it really does remind me of a Bearded Vulture (which is an awesome vulture)

LOL, it does look like a pigeon, and my Christmas Argies look like parrots.

I don't like the look of the new argie, simply because I'm not into vultures in general. However I will admit that it's probably more realistic, so while I prefer the old look, it's not a big deal for me either way. The new abillities it has are what really interest me - even before the flier nerf I never usually bothered with argents, but with it's new versitillity I might actually consider taming one again...

I hate the look of the new argentavis. I hate every change they ever made to it from the flying dino nerf onward. It's almost like the developers hate argents for being too popular.

I know what they really were, but I liked the idea of them looking like giant eagles. I mean they even changed the original argentavis sounds to eagle-like sounds. Now after all this time they want to change it again? Of course there will be people that don't want that.

What they could have done is go through with the changes, but kept the old argentavis model for a different bird. It may not be realistic, but how realistic are half of the creatures in this game anyway? Look at the thylacoleo. It was a marsupial, but made out to be a giant cat.

But the thyla is probably next on the chopping block. They'll probably make it a short, stubby little ugly mongrel. Similar to how I feel about the new argentavis right now.

A shadow of its former self!

New Argy is better imo.

Argentavis is a giant, predatory vulture. It never was an eagle. If anything it looks more like itself now and I adore it! It might have been more predatory than most modern vultures, but it was still a vulture type and thus would actually look the part.

Apparently you never saw it's Dossier image, which now looks a lot more accurate to the Argent itself.

It's bad enough to change the argentavis and give you a way to change it by feeding it a special food.I'm playing on my host game the argie's are still the old ones,oh guess f------ what i can't access it's inventory to feed it the special food,omfg derrrr,so I cant fly except on a pterandon.ALSO I can't find anywhere the hmm so called devs have even put hardly anything out about how to give them this food again derrrr.I love the game but come on when you change something have some INFO there.

[Robbo]

Sorry forgot the new thing that's an argie looks f---- horrible and I agree it WAS a fantastic looking bird but maybe one them thought let's change it because their child liked the new look or who knows I know that if possible the vote would be to change it back yes yes and yes so your effort was a pure waste also I'M sure there are a good many players out there that would themselves have made more desirable features for the argentavis so we know you don't care what we think we only bought the game oh and we play it,sad everyone sooo sad so sad.

This has nothing to do with the base game, look at the page for the classic fliers mod.

The thing is, you need to take a look at the Condor. The Argentavis was essentially a giant Condor of (you guessed it) Argentina. True that the Argentavis never held its head like a King Fisher, but at least it now shows that it has a neck instead of how it was before. There is also the matter of the naked face, which again you need to take a look at the Condor for. Argentavis might have been hunters, but they have probably been also heavilly opportunistic carnivores, meaning that they might have stuck their heads into corpses that other carnivores would not dare to touch. So WC going with the projected look of the Argentavis when it existed seems pretty logical.

And the thing about the other creatures looking "ugly", bear in mind that the Utahraptor was feathered to begin with, and the Sarco didn't have those tooth-like marks at the end of its snout. The Spino I can agree on, though (except for the aberrant ones, they are just too shiney to look ugly).
