Every minor visual change will have its tiny segment of the community who doesn't like it and feels the need to post some kind of "petition" for change back to their own tastes. But the forums are populated by only a small portion of the community, and attracts those who wish to complain, so the comparatively tiny amount of outcry over small details like this reasonably gets ignored. Doesn't it get tiring?

[Lulz Kev]

Never. The YLW is the only reason I'm still playing this game.

Look how awesome this mech could of been! Not the craptasric horribly scaled tiny gun having POS that we have now.

everyone's yen-lo-wang is like red and white.

I painted the red a dark blue, and the white part black and renamed it the Eclipse.

Mine's pink and magenta.

Loving all the screen shots from before the new geometry!!!

We paid REAL CASH MONEY for these. My wang is tired of getting the shaft!

Straight from the books this is a quite from "LETHAL HERITAGE"

"The centurion standing before them lacked the bulkiness of some other humanoid Mechs. Though its slender lines made it seem more alive, the auto cannon muzzle that replaced its right hand would never let anyone mistake it for a living creature."

don't know I have to admit

I don't see the problem with a petition if done respectfully

Top tip

Telling Paul to put his tackle in a food blender for castrating the Wang, would not be respectful, and shouldn't be part of a petition address

Read the one I quoted. It explains why in the spoiler tag

[Lulz Kev]

Still can't get a response from Russ on tweeter

No one cares!

[Cabusha]

I don't mind the smaller arm. Between the structure buff and smaller size it lasts way longer in a fight.

And don't start telling me I need to learn how twist and shield. Before the clans I could regularly get a cent sub 20%. Personal best was 9% as I recall.

The point, even with good twisting it was still easy for targets to nuke your gun.

Should do a poll for the appearance of some of the older IS mechs, I myself miss the raven's laser barrels, the catapult not looking like it had a pair of CRT monitors and VCRs duct taped to its shoulders and various other older pre-dynamic designs far better than you can ever make them look now.

Though admittedly I also like the mech's appearance reflecting its loadout. Would it be so difficult to have a middle ground by using the old designs for certain weapons (as suggested on page 1 even) or being able to choose between the two even if it means worse hitboxes? You can't compare combat effectiveness against pure, unadulterated style. Style wins, every time.

Of particular note are the mechs that had the weapons already reflected in their designs before they got the dynamic hardpoints, AC20s look pathetic in comparison to the old versions, and PPCs often got turned into stubby little battle armor handles instead of actually looking like massive particle cannons.

I don't think the hit box changed much when they added the new weapon geometry. Could be wrong though.

WOULD LOVE FOR PGI TO CHIME IN. Even if it's to say "no.". I hate having false hope.

[Zakie Chan]

I am reviving my old memes to combat this atrocity:


When you login and see that whimpy stub that used to signify all that was sudo Davion Freedom - Cappellan Angst:




The rage that ensues after you realize the devs dont care:



Dear PGI staff, for Kerensky's sake, please make an ac20 ylw have the old arm model. I dont care if the hitbox is better or worse when compared to the new model... I just want people to see there is a reason my centurion isnt packing any missiles.

The YLW has always been a pilots mech, especially in the lore. I wanna look as good as I feel when I take out those clanner scum with my 30 firepower!!

[Lulz Kev]

Agreed completely. Thanks for support.

Not only has support not respond to my inquiry. I've also tweeted Russ a half dozen times. He won't respond to questions regarding hit box or graphic changes. As a paying customer asking about a mech I PAID FOR. I'm a little upset. A simple retweet of "no no plans" or "no I don't care" would make me more satisfied then being ignored.

YLW is the ONLY reason I play this game. Don't put the nail in your own coffin I've already stopped buying MC and went back to GW as being my micro transaction game. Why? Because their support usually replies within 24 hours. Oh, and the game has a consistent experience unlike MWO.

Another day in the dark...

I just want my Wang to look and feel as awesome as it does in the books.

Me and my brethren want the old gun model back! Its basically the only mech I play...

6 days 02:37:29 - Thats how much seat time I have in the old girl. Fix this bs plz

They YLW on the viewers right looks like it has flaming smokestacks coming out of its back. Now I want those too.

[Lulz Kev]

I just want someone from PGI to let us know how much the hit box changed.

Another day in the dark. Maybe I'll change my twitter handle to bishop Steiner or roadbeer. That might get a reply!

[WANTED]

I'd like this fixed too. I have 12 hours in the Yen Lo. One of my favorite mechs and one I do the best in.

Appreciate the support! We need more like you to help reach out to the MWO dev to in hopes of making a change!
