The Vanu MAX so needs a redesign.

EVILoHOMER · 2012-05-31, 05:29 AM

I can see people playing the MAX Units for the other factions because they look amazing. I've showed each MAX design to my friends who never played Planetside before, I'm trying to get them excited for this game though by linking them to all the images and videos. They all said straight away that the Vanu one looks horrible but lot the TR and NC MAX design.

As a Vanu fan I really want it to change because it would put me off using MAX armour for them. It could serious have an impact on balance too because people want to feel like a badass and not a gay crab lol. It just needs to look more meaty and mean like the other two because one looks like it came from Fallout and the other like it came from Terminator. Maybe the Vanu one needs to look more like..http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...72-d46fg2e.jpg

Though I do want to say I love the design of everything else that I've seen!

Typically vain Vanu...

I don't mind the design, but I do think it should be more beefy. It's a little too slender at the moment.

That said, I'd much rather TRay and the others work on stuff that hasn't already been completed before going back to fix things.

Well since vanu is a baby faction they should be playing with toys that does not impress others.

Its good to see the TR propaganda machine working as desired

I'm going to enjoy sauteing your brains with headshots from the Flashlight 2.0.

Smells like victory.

A majority of the people I've shown the game to we're instantly drawn towards the vs max and thought the other 2 weren't as cool.

I'm talking recently, as in post-concept. Since they thought that one was the coolest, the TR and NC one must need a redesign

Give me the shit your friends are smoking.

Well I think they all look really cool although I can admit that I thought the VS MAX looked A LOT cooler in the concept art.

If I were to pick a favorite I would say the NC one which was the least coolest in the concept arts, but it turned out really great imo.

This. I don't know if it's the texture, or they changed the shape, but ours is not as cool as we expected

Agreed, donno why they changed it. Probably hitbox issues...

It'd be nice if it was a bit more angular, but why not just have a secondary TR/NC character on another server for your friends. I know for sure I won't get all my friends to join the Sovereignty (unfortunately).

It should be changed because your friend didn't like it, and you think it looks like a 'gay crab'. Totally legit reasons.

Actually that sounds like a legit reason to keep it. How much fun would it be to brag to the other team, "Haha, you just got killed by a bunch of gay crabs"?

I kill people with a fish in TF2 for exactly this reason.

But that's what the beamer is for. Hopefully they haven't buffed it too much this time around...
