Insisting that the artist was strongarmed into making what he did and that PGI is covering it up really doesn't come off as anything but wild, biased speculation. Yes, you're free to wear the tinfoil, but I'm also free to think you look ridiculous.

I don't know if tinfoil is necessary...I find it totally plausible that the artist turned in a design he/she was happy with and then that design was changed later due to gameplay mechanic changes. Can't confirm that without talking to someone involved, but...it falls pretty short of wild speculation...

I don't care how or why it happened, all I know is that it nerfs the already sub-par chassis for no good reason, and it doesn't even look aesthetically appealing either.

So true. The how's...the why's...somewhat irrelevant...bottom line: sooooo uglyyyyy....and huuuuge...

Mine is in the first page, try to give likes, maybe they help to attract the attention.

We got an answer, more or less to the end of the town hall:

David working on this... Cataphract done(hoping March 3rd), Jager for March 3rd.. all old mechs being attack. 4 or 5 still in the queue. Then and only then they will revisit the worst offenders.

So cicada, stalker, awesome and commando? maybe by summer they finish with those, who knows.

Anyways my gratitude to who selected the question, and Russ for answering it.
Nothing said about torso twist.

[zudukai]

Ouch, so a total of 3 years ( a hopeful estimate) till they even want to talk about it. That's awful.

[zudukai]

we did learn however that it's david bradley that is handling this, so perhaps with a tasteful enough message we may end up getting a little more details specifically from him.

Is it fixed yet?

It's sad to think of how excited I was that they were making mech models reflect the weapons fitted. So many ruined, and zero f***s given at PGI because they can't make money by changing it.

Well some news is good news.

Let's hope the Catapult gets some love.

Maybe by summer? earlier if we get really lucky.
There are still 5 mechs without the treatment: cicada, dragon, stalker(this one is going to be fun), awesome and comando
Jagger and cataphract are ready for the next patch.

Hmm, I wonder how my Ilya and new 3D (C) will fair.

The interpretation of the a1 with the eyes of an animator, no make up, just one big ct with one extremely big tumor with extensions as arm, unable to do anything against straight superior chassis, and dont come to me saying the timber has 10 more tonnes and has to be better, the game still is a 12 vs 12.

I too was excited that our weapons choices were going to show on the 'mech model. Finally my Commandos and Centurions would show what weapons they had!

Sadly, I can't think offhand off ANY 'mech that this one-geo-fits-all system looks good on. The Cat? Cat-astrophic art failure. The Cent? Why is there a pencil sticking out of a boxy forearm where there used to be a cool big-arse gun barrel?

I'm properly scared of what they'll do to my beloved Commandos when they get around to it.

This whole system is an unmitigated disaster and should really be scrapped and re-built from the bottom up - with individual weapon geos and art for each 'mech model.

That's a LOT of models, no?
