DEVS bring back the old ancient model!

[Amerelium]

...the new one is lousy; the head doesn't fit, and I haven't heard a single good reason for why it was introduced, other than biped whining...

[Nayuaka]

There's also a slit I can see through in the back of my head where my fin meets it. :( Although I think that might be there with the old model too.

[Blue Hasia]

Old model old model old moldel!

[Pharcellus]

Well, that didn't take long. [:P]

[Khoal]

Just use the old file provided by Guaran and/or Blue (grats to you both, or to whomever it's due on that, btw). You get the old model, other people see the smaller model (and presumably don't whine). Everyone wins.

[Amerelium]

...that's an inadequate solution for so many reasons...

[Tribunal]

why? you will be happy, and Bi-peds will be able to see the little that we can when you guys are around, I'm with Khoal we all win kinda.

[Dragoniade]

Why don't YOU remplace YOUR model on YOUR drive with an ancient when YOU play YOUR character?

People shouldn't have to hack their own character to enjoy the game. If biped aren't happy with the dragon size, THEY should hack their config. It isn't to the dragons to do it.

*cheers and claps*

Yea - THAT really does make everyone happy! We stay big to everyone, and those that WANT us smaller can use the "new" model in their configs!

That really does make everyone happy....

Don't make those that don't want it have to find a work around, let those people who DO want it, do it themselves...

[Cobal]

Amen

I tested that with my biped friends Tribunal.
They can in fact see MORE with the old ancient model.
there is so much room they could very easy see under me.
A biped (aside from half giants) would need to stand on his toes and stretch his arms to touch an ancients belly if he was standing under one, so even fighting under one is an option.
Mobs are easier selectable then with the adult model, when the mobs do their infamous "lets stand in the drags belly" routine they end up standing under the model, hence easy selection for all.

[Firedragon]

I'm signing this one also!

[oluviel]

i dono i kinda like being able to fit easily into buildings unlike even the old adult model.

[Lumineux]

That has to do with our new bounding box, which as far as I can tell is now no diferent than it is as an adult.

[oluviel]

hmmmmaybe the 15% more in size would require that larger box

[Guaran]

Even as Ancient, I fit thru most doorways ok.

[dorrin]

There's also a slit I can see through in the back of my head where my fin meets it. :( Although I think that might be there with the old model too.

hm... aren't there currently artists working on that?
my problem is they're probably working with the new smaller model.. with no intent of fixing it to work with the true ancient sized model.

again...
WORD FROM THE DEVS, PLEASE.

communication has been nice lately on lairs.. but ask them something they seem afraid to talk about?... good luck getting an answer.

[Kitimandiri]

We could try arguing and getting off topic, that always seems to work...

[Pharcellus]

No, that just activates the moderators, not the devs.

No, they aren't the same thing.

[Kitimandiri]

Ok I'm going to be lame now...


i·ro·ny n. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

just since we are educating each other on the obvious...


lol and we seem to have done it, argued and gotten off topic...

*Waits for moderator model PEACHES v2.2.1 to activate*

/agrees with OP

[Cobal]

I will be forces to bump all threads regarding the size issue until the old ancient model is restored.
