Seems like someone up in the art department slapped something together and just said close enough. HOW MANY TIMES IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN?

Ie. Catapult
Quickdraw
Trebuchet
Stalker
Hunchback
DIREWOLF

PLAYERS you are buying a product. It is your right to refuse a crappy product. Voice it!

Every one of those Mechs listed look better than they have for the last 30 years... I have the Minis to prove it!

You're nuts. The Catapult is fantastic! As are most of the others you listed.

[ManDaisy]

Dont play stupid guys, they went cheap with the weapons placement. Add in a few and they start looking cut and paste as hell. You can tell where the art department just slapped some things in place and called it day.

One of the things i love the most about MWO is the mech models, my only complan is that they ruin the old models so they reflect the loadout,

I thinks it's docking clamps disengaging in preparation for an immanent jettisoning.

Cuteness can't cover up the facts of poor implementation and effort. Don't be cute agent... your a grown man.

If you want to comment, go and discuss the issue with the mechs at question. Dont talk about things that have nothing wrong with them and sing empty song and dance,

Right, when you get VCR ears when you put in all Streaks, that makes total sense.

Will someone do me the honors of posting a messed up hunchback with crappy weapons placement to shut up the [redacted]? I dont happen to have a hunchback 4 g with its floating weapons not in the hunch with triple ac 2s. Also the hunchpack p, with its crappy ppc placement.

Ah, so you're angry at the modular weapon visuals. Not the mechs themselves. Took you a few posts to actually make your argument here. Less rage, more thinking might help. Also, the 4J with 2 PPCs in the right torso looks fine to me, so this shill ain't gonna be convinced. But please, rage on. I'm sure you'll accomplish your goal. Somehow.

I'm not being cute. I believe this thread to belong in K-town and have announced it as such. You may have a point but your presentation was bad, your message incomplete, your tone overly agressive, hell your title needed to be edited by a mod. This thread is bad regardless of the underlying facts. The Grand Agitator of the PLJ has declared it so.

That said I'll make an offer in the name of the great mission. if you were to clarify your tone and message (before we get sent to k-town anyway) i will delete this and the previous post and participate in the discussion that needs to be had.

[ManDaisy]

How about you stop trying to rewrite what I am saying. The message is clear. Care to misunderstand it and its your problem.

[Egomane]

Keep your language in check ManDaisy!

@ the others
Do not derail the thread! If it is bad, report it and WE, the MODERATORS, will see if it needs to be moved.

I think Alex said something to the effect of "I do the art, but the modelling team have been doing this a long time, and have an idea of what makes a good 'mech design in the actual game"

To relate that back to the current complaints:
The CT may have been too small on some of these 'mechs which would affect their balance, so the CT was buffed out a bit, based on experience.
Same goes for every component which has changed in size.

The team also has a few sizes of pre-built assets which are their equivalent of 'lore' for scale. Things like the Thor's missile pack could be a symptom of that. I mean jeez do we want consistent scale or not?
I've always seen people complaining that there isn't scale, not that there is!!
