Probably yeah, anything to help offset the rubbish launch of PC2

I agree, I think the swan base will get them partway there, which is why I'm not writing it off outright. I just think that the head and beak might be a dealbreaker when there are other birds that they could do with less effort, that would probably elicit a similarly positive reaction from fans.
The reason why I think a pelican isn't completely off the table is that so far, Frontier has only ever chosen the "big" birds, the ones that everyone knows and that have massive appeal even among casual players... We didn't just get any random waterfowl: we got the mute swan. We got one of the most recognisable birds out there, something on par with the peacock or flamingo. Speaking of flamingos: the Americas are home to four species- yet, we got the most well-known and popular one. Also, wetlands could have included any crane, such as the Sarus Crane (which would have been a great fit together with the Wild Water Buffalo and Asian Otter, included in the same pack), but no; we got the crane, the one everyone thinks about when they hear the word "crane".
So, I personally believe that it's more likely for us to get a pelican than some other hyper specific kind of bird. I don't think we're getting a monal or tragopan before we're done rounding up the common, popular birds...
Honestly, I'm pretty sure we're getting no birds.
It's gonna be filled with the most frustrating clone picks ever.
This is genuinely the first pack worth skipping in my opinion

There is no way we are already getting this level of hate before the pack has been revealed yet
Frankly, the key art from between Barnyard and India has only served to gradually lessen my hype for each subsequent pack. At most, maybe 2 species of the 7 interest me in the Zookeeper and Americas packs. Coupled with the implied Sri Lankan elephant, hopes aren't very high for me
I'm pretty sure you said pretty much the same about Zookeepers.
@Stygi is right, maybe this one time we as a community could wait with shooting down a pack completely based simply on the key-art and a bunch of hunches and guesses?
The two clear animals so far are a honey badger and a lion tailed macaque. If you consider those 2 as clones, then basically any animal that could be added at this point is going to be a clone of something.
Reasons why the hate is justified:
1. Elephant
2. Any other clones they are adding
3. The chance of getting a fourth rhino are higher than zero.
Heck, the rhino alone would be bad enough for me to consider skipping a pack (something that I've never done), and if they end up adding some other pointless animal like the yak or other stupid things then I'm quitting Planet Zoo entirely.
Also, not my fault for being right about zookeeper. The roster itself was mediocre, but the pack was straight up garbage.

I don't think they're clones, but they're not necessarily animals I wanted. The honey badger is another wolverine situation, it's pretty cool to have and I quite enjoyed seeing them in real life, but I'll never use them.
The macaque is another monkey which is good for diversity but frankly not all that useful to me.
The elephant is pointless.
Everything else is gonna be bad
All of these things are hunches and guesses, my point still stands. Hating a pack you don't even know if it actually going to be like that is such a waste of time.
But you do you, I personally wouldn't keep wasting my time on a game that no longer brings me joy, but to each their own.
Out of curiosity, what would your ideal India Animal Pack roster look like?
I'm personally not too fussed about the potential elephant considering both the honey badger and macaque would have been on mine (and I just realized, the honey badger being here frees up a spot on the Safari Animal Pack roster I keep playing around with in my head)
It wouldn't be an India pack, enough said.
India only has one animal that I personally need (Blackbuck), and we're probably not going to get it considering how it went with the coati in Americas.
...But if I had to choose a roster, it would be something like:
• Blackbuck
• Sarus Crane
• Hanuman Langur
• Gaur
• Fishing Cat
• Axis
• Indian Star Tortoise? Idk I've ran out of ideas after the Langur.

tbh I find it hard for frontier to mess up this pack with already a phenomenal roster. I was never a huge fan of an India pack but with 2 species I adore this already works for me. Just need the hog deer now and I don’t even care about the rest of the roster.
Mine would've been thus:
- Nilgai
- Blackbuck
- Northern Red Muntjac
- Painted Stork
- Lion-Tailed Macaque
- Bengal Langur
- Black-Headed Ibis
- Northern King Cobra (Exhibit)
Sarus Crane is a good shout. It's very easy to be made from Japanese Crane model. The thing I like about them, even tho they're not the most exciting bird pick, is their range, they could be sneaky Australian animal in Indian roster
Omg yesssss hog deer would be so cool
Yes and Pelican - I need it (please frontier)
