Sith-Viscera Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ok, i would sign off with this, if, they BAN any Oversize Mounts, and i do mean, Any Oversize MOUNTS, from Any and all Social indoor environments. Such as Fleet stations and social dwellings. Normal size Mounts is fine in all environments. If the Mount can cover a player or a few players all the way or just about, all the way up, it shouldn't be in a SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inflicktion Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Yep they definitely need to be a bit bigger; a little taller at least. A player (male) with body type 3 stands taller than body size 1/2 when mounted on a Varactyl. That's just a little ridiculous imo. I'm not an advocate for huge mounts by any means, but that doesn't mean I want them to be miniature either! I saw a Varactyl standing next to one of the new Deslars and it was just pathetic. No reason thy should be that small; I think slightly smaller than the ones on Belsavis, like someone previously suggested, would be good.

Kaile Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 They'll add a bigger one in a future contraband pack instead of resizing if I were guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith-Viscera Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I know why they aren't that big? They are still growing, their just a few years old it takes them 30 years to be full grown adults. By then you all be crippled up with arthritis, you wouldn't even be able to climb atop of it.... :o:cool: No, not buying it?

GratuaCuun Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'll pass on 'life-size' Boga's thank you very much... the little bastards already take up enough room on the fleet as it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suntaru Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The pics everywhere else they look big until you sit on one. Like going from a Quarter horse to a Shetland pony. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockmks Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) True. Then again.. the tauntaun is easier to work with because it's a compact biped... kind of a cross between a chicken and goat. The lizard body is spread out like it just popped off it's hotrock. No no, a kangaroo! (Check google images). edit: Speaking of real life comparisons.. this is probably more what we ended up with for the veractyl.

GratuaCuun Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 When animals are domesticated IRL they often end up smaller or more compact. Granted, Boga and the other Varactyls we saw in ROTS weren't compact but they seemed more 'free ranged' than the one's we get in this game. Perhaps the mount is smaller because it's took so much breeding to get the docile result the breeders wanted... Or, quite simply, the danged critters take up too much space as it is and we all have to get over it they're big enough as is without taking up the whole walk-way on the fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terzappi Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I sign up. Pls enlarge your varactyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD_Evil Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The size difference between the preview window and the actual in game varactyl makes me feel people are getting cheated. Of course, the easiest solution is the preview window varactyl smaller. However that is not the solution I'm looking for. In short: I agree that it is too small. It should not be as big as the Belsavis varactyls, but still bigger than it is now. /signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neoforcer Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 No we do not need giant Varactyl Mount running around fleet just because you want a varactyl as big as the belsavis ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhaiil Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 No we do not need giant Varactyl Mount running around fleet just because you want a varactyl as big as the belsavis ones. Well, I agree that the Belsavis one would be too big as a mount, but right now it's ridicolous. Just scale it up to 125% and it's enough (which means 25% bigger).

_Aahz_ Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Well, I agree that the Belsavis one would be too big as a mount, but right now it's ridicolous. Just scale it up to 125% and it's enough (which means 25% bigger). Yeah, lets not get too large here. However, increasing the size enough so it looks like it could actually carry body type 3 without breaking its back would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I might have already mentioned this, but I am fine with it's current size, though I think an increase of about 20 percent or so would put it in line with Varactyls in the current game. I kind of view them as young Varactyls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollyDresden Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I vote no. One thing that irritated me about WoW was when people with huge dragon mounts sat on top of vendors or whatever so I couldn't click things, wandering around taking up screen space. Huge mounts just allow people to be jerks/trolls in one more way. In my mind, mounts that aren't quite as big as they are in the wild are a small price to pay. For that matter, domesticated versions of animals are often smaller than wild versions, so it's not like it's hard to justify logically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make the covering of quest givers and mailboxes reportable offense. This is how wow solved it. Obi wan's veractyl was bigger. Also, many domesticated breeds of horses and dogs are larger then their "mother breed". Edited August 24, 2013 by Spatology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianDavion Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I support a resize. it's rare and players are typically forking out a lotta money for this after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 A little bigger would be nice, but too big, and you know some douche will park it on a mail box, or a vendor...or something you want to click lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iankalo Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Yeah , Belsavis varavtyls are too big for a mount but maybe 20-30% resize as you all assume would be great. Well , what problem do you have with mailboxes and mission givers ? Ive never had this problem. You can click easily on the maibox through these big speeders. In WoW I had a problem with this , but in SWTOR mount doesnt bothers you to make contact with what you need to click.

Tsillah Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The woodland ones are small on purpose....the next Varactyl that comes out will be larger. You will be even more excited about those packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
