BertNoobians Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 its carrying capacity of many materials now matches quetzals and its easy to raise. but there is just something about it that makes you think its a pigeon. its stance or its proportions of head/body/wings?

Ranger1 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I imagine it's because it stands more erect now when it's not walking... which is a more pigeon like stance than it used to have. Other than that vaguely similar trait... seems like quite a stretch of imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no offense to some of the other posters... but really folks , on what planet do you regard the above as looking remotely similar to this: It makes me think you've never actually seen a pigeon in real life. Maybe I should rephrase slightly. I prefer the idea of a giant eagle over a giant vulture, even if it is a giant non bald condor, although I can certainly get behind that idea As a birder, vultures really dont do it for me although I do have a soft spot for egyptian vultures and Lammerguirs for some reason. I think I just prefer my birds fully feathered although thankfully the argent model retains some feathers on the head. Uuurrgghh a rat with wings.......

However, I've gotta say I don't think that image is the first thing that comes to mind for most people when they think "pigeon". It's like when the panda wow xpac came out and everyone defended it by saying "pandas are really fierce" as if anyone on the planet's first reaction to looking at a panda is "wow that looks fierce". It's the same with presenting an obscure pigeon species as proof that the new argy model looks like a pigeon. I very much enjoy the new model. The game is a fantasy game, and Argentavis is understood to be a prehistoric carrion bird. Our in-game fantasy version of the Argentavis looks more similar to a vulture or buzzard, only with a shorter neck and grander wings. And its hunkered-over walk just kills me (as in, I greatly enjoy it)... Though I do miss the swag-tastic way the old model walked. The old one was like a bumblebee-bird: It didn't look BAD, just out of proportion in some weird way. Maybe it was the way-too-fat body or stubby-ish wings? I don't know... But I'm down with the new look. It has presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fistoknee Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I can confirm they will not pick up beaver. They will pick up Megaloceros, and sabertooth which makes no sense. they can carry an elk, but not a smaller beaver, weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulta Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I love the newer model. It was WC's fault for their first Argie design to be pretty...well...not like an actual Argent. Argies were carrion birds, which vultures are. Eagles are not carrion feeders, they are hunters. Poor folks got misled by WC's not stellar model team in the early days and makign the argie look more eagle-ish. These newer modelers and animation folk are sooo much better. Kudos to that at least WC. Your team can make some wicked good looking content. Too bad you got not a clue what balance is or how to maintain your servers.

Sorry bro, but your picture of the pidgeon doesn't exactly support your opinion as it looks exactly like the new argies. Oh and btw, the 'above' picture doesn't look a thing like the argies in my game. That's just an arists rendition. It's the long neck they've added that is giving the pidgeon appearance I believe.

Rahthos Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 At 0:44 of that video the picture doesn't look too different than what's in-game. I personally love them. Color regions are fantastic and they're super majestic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigy1202 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I like the way that the Argy looks now. In response to the claim that the previous Argentavis model was more scientifically accurate I have to say...no. The previous model irl would not have been able to take flight at all. It's body was WAY too big. The current Argy is more anatomically accurate than the previous. In terms of my opinion I love the new Argy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edandbunny Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I am 50/50 on the argy changes. Like others here I will likely start calling them pigeons. The longer neck and the head tuft are a bit much. Beyond that, I do agree they needed some serious help. They were much too stiff and looking down at a wild argy walking they looked like cockroaches. I do like the beak carry ability, and the weight reduction on certain items will make things nice. Unfortunately that weight reduction now makes the quetz more in need for some TLC love.
