And once again we see the uneducated opinion that drives PGI to make Lights half the height of an Assault, because EVERYONE knows that mass = height!

Seriously, you guys should be whacked upside the head for this kind of temper tantrum. It's bad enough that PGI has screwed up the scale on all the Lights, now you are whining about the scale of Mechs that were tall to begin with?

Where did you get the Mech Bay pics of the machines?

Sadly I know, but if we get a huge thread going we can link it on twitter, or we could just start a campaign on their twitter feed but, gotta get the grognards on the forums up in arms first
well it dwarfs the assault mech it's being released with, and that front profile isn't actually skinny at all. his chest and shoulders are wide as hell, same as the Zeus essentially


It's practically victor sized, an already overscaled 80 tonner

I showed my girlfriend that picture and asked her which one she thought was heavier. Her answer: "the left one. The right one. This is a trick question".

PGI pls

Wtf are you thinking???? So it is taller.... aren't we hearing people complain about low hard points all the time and by being taller these hardpoints are naturally raised more.

I will take a skinny tall mech (shadow hawk esque) over a thick short mech (hunchback) anyday.... Profiles (front to back and side to side mean more then height)

But the problem is the Grasshopper is not skinny from the front. It's shoulders are as wide as most Assault mechs. Shawk on the other hand has reasonably slimmer profile.

Show your girlfriend pics of the 11m Commando and the 11m Catapult and ask her which is the heavier one. Yeah, same height according to the original stats from FASA, but we don't see that in MWO.

FASA did give specific heights on some Mechs, NONE were half the height of any of the others like we have in MWO. Shortest was 9m, tallest prior to the Jihad/Dark Ages was 15m. And that 9m was a Heavy, not a Light, Cauldron Born.

And you people keep driving PGI to keep screwing up the scale even more...some people's kids.

[Tivale]

I Also don´t like the scales. Grasshopper bigger than Zeus??? Equal to an Atlas??? Hope they can fix it.

forum, twitter, reddit, whatever.

But, let's bet it: will pgi fix, or won't.

ain't gonna happen. Speaking as the guy who's busted Russ out on nearly every scaling issue. We are finally seeing the weapons slowly chiseled at, but the actual mechs? Nope.

Look no further than the original posterboy for bad scaling, the Catapult.

I have no idea how this mech performs in actual play, but I'm gonna say it sucks and it needs to be changed!

There you go, folks, that's the idea he's asking you to sign on to.

[cSand]

I care, but don't see it as a deal breaker as there are still too many things we don't know. And I well remember the DoA hysteria on the ShadowHawk.

[cSand]

I think you mean "doa hysteria" on any mech released, ever

[Gorgo7]

Looks ok to me. The legs are VERY long and VERY thin. Makes it look larger than it really is. Besides, 70 tons is a Heavy mech.
Not almost a med.

This isn't some dumb preferential issue about Enforcer head sculpts! This is a big, big, issue! It absolutely needs to be lowered!

you have the play data to prove it? Unless you do, it's every bit as "dumb" as the enforcer complaint.
