Short Characters.....do they make a difference ?

[Blackmyst]

Do short characters help in RVR ?

[Derokah]

Nope, they just wind up looking stupid. Remember that the TAB key is your friend.

I was unsure before i started paying, but made a small char anyway (tiny) just to annoy people. I have to say however i thought it would be awkward to play a really small char, but it's not at all.

I think alot of people just hate small chars, but there is an advantage, and anyone who pvps often can see it. You can't always tab target, sometimes you just have to click, and it IS harder to click a smaller target. In a mass zerg it's also harder to identify smaller targets.

I call BS on people saying there is no advantage. Having played a small char, and fought against them I beleive there to be a small advantage in certain circumstances for certain classes. For a templar etc, there might be certain disadvantages to being small, but for a ranger, which I am, I can't think of any negatives. I've made my char to look like a halfling nearly, it looks pretty cool imo.

Not to completely disagree with you here, but the tab key is NOT your friend. The cycle has absolutely no order to it, and to be honest, the tab key highlights just about anything around you, EXCEPT what you want it to (unless you are <5m and running at it).

my 2cents.

I thought it cycled outward. It does for me anyways.

I wonder if player hitboxes are dependent on their size like they were in SWG back in the day. If so, then /agree. But either way, I cant bring myself to play a dwarf.

have fun rolling a giant character, it must be the PvP "Mark of Fame"

[Blackmyst]

The Dev's put the ability in the game....zero shame IMO.

It gives you a disadvantage, because everyone is going to target you first for being a retard.

To me the only retarded thing is that damn noise the short ones make when they run around. Their feet moving so damn fast. Makes me wanna throw my speaker system out the damn window.

Otherwise the point was made (and its a decent one) that if the Devs put it in there... more power to ya.

Although, once I get to the PvP action... damned right I'll be targeting every littler person I see.


Just... creepy.


ALSO, Isarii... I lold at your sig.

[thrash242]

No, it just makes you look stupid.

I really wish NCSoft didn't let character be so small. dwarf-size characters are fine. Fairy-sized characters are not.

The flexibility of the character creation system is an awesome feature, but there is a point where it's just ridiculous looking.

[Enigmus]

So are we agreed.... Death to all midgets?

[Archausin]

Its more annoying than cool, most little players stand up for each other "there is a slight joke there" seems to be a disadvantage as they are the first I would target. Also I have seen a few small Templars and I am sure your healer wants to slap you and your mother. Make yourself easier to healer if you are and be larger.

I think the advantage you get for being harder to click on is outweighed by the disadvantage of having all of your teammates think you look like a tool and leaving you to die.
