Yeah after seeing the faction camo video, I lost hope for this mech being good. Wide as a barn, easy distinguishable CT and ST hitboxes. Huge ears that stick WAY UP over the torso that can be hit from any angle negating any ability whatsoever to using Twisting to shield a damaged ST. Low hanging arms and a very awkward, unbalanced look to the hard points.

I did pre-order and don't need a refund but I am glad I didn't also spring for the hero.

[Grus]

No please, make it easier to hit the st...

[Nightbird]

If the CT hitbox is really wide and included half the mounts like the fafnir, it may be fine.

I could be wrong but I think that would probably mean an easily cored out CT. Seriously sometimes you can't fix a mech by tweaking its hit box.

Reality is that at the end of the day until we can get it into a match and preferable get full skill builds on the Blood Asp we aren't really going to know how well it plays. I am just seeing alot of warning signs showing up all over the place on this mech because it just looks like it has about every bad characteristic you could have on a mech all rolled into one chassis. Who knows though, maybe it will move like a ballerina, accelerate like a cheetah and have armor quirks that an Annihilator would be jealous of.....Oh wait....it's a clan mech, never mind.

Yes, at the end, quirks make the mech. That happened also with the linebacker.

It may be fine, with huge quirks

[CK16]

Eh I some how doubt they will give this thing many quirks guys....it has been painted the king meta monster since this game entered its current era of play (Clan invasion +). Most Clan mechs do not get super quirks, atleast the great ones dont.

seriously, someone working on it thought: "this looks good"?

[Nightbird]

If there isn't a second gun in some of those pods, they better cut the size in half or else it's an epic drop in release quality.

In construction, that's referred to as "Looks good from my house." -or- "Beer thirty QC."

Dear PGI. Hire this guy as your offshore Aesthetics Control Engineer pretty please.

[CK16]

How much you guys want to get they did it this way because of the fear of backlash from "OMG ANOTHER OP BROKED CLAN MECH WITH HIGH MOUNTS, UNFAIR TO MY IS MECHS" ect??

I bet it was because of this they didn't use the shoulder pods more...

That or really bad meth. Either is likely.

Marketing Flunkie Intern: 'Ya know what would be great? If we could juuuuust tweak the size of the arms and top mounts, we could sell ad space and generate more In-game revenue to pay for all the sex change operations I'll need to become a supermodel ya know?'

Marketing Director: Sounds good! Make this Priority!

[Thorn Hallis]

I'm baffled. Either noone at PGI cares anymore or this is some sort of school project.

I think I'll ask for a refund.

[FireStoat]

That four energy left torso looks sooooo bad. Dear lord, that's awful. I think I'll continue to quietly play my Marauder IIC's and pretend this new mech just never happened.

Dear PGI,

The LT pod or the RT pod - please pick one and change the other to match. Also...

Same size gun for energy shoulder. Flipped gauss. Second weapon uses empty space in the shoulder pod.

Dear PGI,

This is how you make things not look garbage, like you did with the Nightstar ST hardpoints.

Thanks for reading, another potential pre-order cancellation.

[ilKhan_OrHan]

I second the ST hardpoint reallocation to the shoulder mounted pods

Suggested fix:

Tall and stubby guns gtfo.

Finally, someone who speaks English..

I see you are a man of culture also...

Proposed changes are PLAIN AS DAY to anyone with half a brain.. symmetry and visual aesthetics are IMPORTANT..

But PGI seems to be trying really hard to make one of it's most beautiful designs intentionally ugly.. And less useful..

Come on Devs.. try harder..

I even wouldn't mind if you delay release, but put in the work and make it right..

P.S.

Can someone please send the link to this topic to Russ on twitter?

is again so unbalanced and strange there, as if she urgently needs a toilet
she would sit down right back and not put her legs in such a way that the center of gravity is balanced like this on a pendulum and between them.
