Enforcer needs a brighter colored cockpit glass.

[Jimt0r]

compared to the clan Special Variant Geometry (rounded armour) that is awesomely distracting

the IS Special Variant Geometry (Pack racks to float though space after bieng booted from your home world) looks crap by comparison

that said I am happy to be able to use some new mechs

[huskinater]

good work. Glad to see the wip and hope everything runs smooth next patch!

Pretty minimal geometry changes. I hope the zeus gets the fins though

All my this. I would pay good monies for a Zeus-X hero mech. I don't need its out-of-timespan hardware, just spec and hardpoint it so it's viable in today's game. I just want those badass fins!! They could be made transparent to weaponsfire if that helps prevent them from becoming a huge downside.

Sorry, but i'm extremely disappointed, you can't even tell the difference on the enforcer, you can on the panther but its kinda lame.... Please use this time to whip up something awesome.

[ArchMage Sparrowhawk]

I'm not complaining. But I do think they need to be a little more ambitious with their special geometries.

[Insects]

Panther needs pointy ears please.

[SnagaDance]

I'm completely underwhelmed to be honest. After the great work on the initial Clan mechs their special variant geometry.......this 'effort' makes the 'special variant geometry' enticement for a mech pack worth absolutely zero for future mech packs, at least for me. While it was one of the deciding factors for me to go for the whole package instead of a single a la carte Grasshopper.

[Inflatable Fish]

aye. this is completely and utterly underwhelming. to be fair, I had difficulty even figuring out which elements were added.

anything else would've been better. bike racks are cool (see SHD-2H) but they MUST be more pronounced to actually be noticeable.

you have two weeks to make this work. please do your best.

[Athrael Emathors]

Ok, so ppl freaking out over some tack-on geometry...oh its the forums...

PGI gives ppl some cake and they cry because the cherries on top are too small.

[Bongo TauKat]

Normally I am not picky on such things. But after buying the wrath pack I was hoping for more than some bike racks on the outside.

Perhaps revisiting them with a more cat like affect on the Panther and more beefy shoulder armor visuals? Come on design department, let those imaginations fly!

Not really free cake, its an advertised feature of a $ product.
Not like people complaining about a free gift weekend challenge medallion or whatever.
Real currency was actually handed over so a cry about being underwhelming is more valid.

If you bought a cake specified to have cherries on top and they were pea sized you would probably complain on the cake forums (there are hundreds of forums dedicated to cakes) too

I dont care, I didnt even know what a unique geometry was, sounds sort of like like homework.

But I stand by cat ears being way cooler.
I dont know, give enforcer horns like PGI avatar or something lol, face kind of looks like a podgy opera singer in a helmet, it could work and viking horns are always cool.

[Odanan]

I like those special geometries, but you could add at least one more unique detail to each mech.

As suggested before, ears in the Panther would be interesting.

EDIT: and maybe something in the Enforcer's head to make it look like a hockey helmet? (like a chin bar)

[LordLosh]

I paid for my ability to whine and complain real US currency so I have ever right and authority to do so. Thus piss off. Really just saying if this is the effort being put forth why bother.
I dare someone to make any kind of poll asking about this special geometry and overwhelming results will agree with us here this is a joke

[Myke Pantera]

This is a good thing! Take the Mist Lynx for example, where the 'special' geometry resembles something that is integral to the original design of that mech. Regular Mist Lynx' look like they are missing something. So thumbs up to subtle changes!

Yes because every and all criticism is FREAKING OUT CRYING ON THE FORUMS AAAAAHHHH CHICKEN LITTLE!

People seem pretty chill about this to me. Obviously disappointed since the so-called "special geometry" that was marketed as a perk for the ® variants is so minimal to be indistinguishable, but I see 0 freaking out.

Just because people aren't sycophantic boot-lickers doesn't mean that they are melodramatic. Criticism can be justified, you know?

[MerryIguana]

Subtle is good. To those complaining, look up the locust unique geo and be relieved. You could have gotten bars over the cockpit that obscure your vision.

[Tarzilman]

Looks pretty... lame.

[TheDevilsIncarnate]

Underwhelming, yes, but I don't care too much because my panther and enforcer kick some serious ass.
