I know I've been a bit negative lately due to the lack of good quirks for the Summoner, Adder and CPLT-K2. I feel a bit guilty about that, so today, while sitting on the buss, I decided to make an appreciation thread for the new Cataphract and Jagermech geometry.

Of course, I didn't know entirely what to expect before I actually patched the game and saw other people's screenshots, so this thread didn't turn out quite how I expected.

Never the less, I have made some tributes to celebrate the new development and thank PGI for finally listening to what the players have been saying about weapon geometry.

I hope you like this.

B.. But they look scary!

I get WHY Piranha does 'dynamic geometry' the way they do...but come on, guys. Come on. Soon we're going to be seeing humiliated JagerMechs in obscuring coats visiting fertility clinics only to be turned away by sad-faced doctors unable to help them cope. Legions of disappointed Cataphract wives will soon be divorcing husbands who can no longer satisfy them.

You're destroying giant stompy robot families, Piranha. You're splitting up parents and leaving children confused over why Mommy Trebuchet doesn't love Daddy JagerMech anymore.

Think of the children, Piranha.

Think of the children.

This needs perma-enshrinment on the Meme Thread.

Ooooookay. One thing I really don't understand: Why the hell did they do that to the Jaegers? I mean, it's not that the Jaegers didn't already have very well-made visual customization functionality, amirite? My beloved Jaegers... May you rest in peace until this ordeal is over.

I kiiiiiiiiindof see the point in changing the Cataphract, but the Jaeger!? Well I do hope, it's an early April Fool's.

Better prepare them for a long wait. The Catapult has been ruined for a year and a half now.

And the Raven, which lost it's distinctive long barrelled lasers.

[oldradagast]

The Cataphract changes seem mostly okay, but the Jager... why?

The old guns were fine and looked fine - I see no reason to change them tiny little things.

And haven't people been complaining about silly, under-sized guns for a while now? Or, is it some nutty rule that guns must be tiny, but missile launchers must huge VCR's?

Maybe it's better we didn't have the Rifleman after all
