The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

I read a bluepost about how they are not going to fix it but why?
I think it looks ridiculous, especially wen you unsheath your weapon it pretty much explodes to double the size.
Personally I can't play human females on any class that actually use their weapon because of that.
Anyway, my questions are:
Why is that?
and
Why don't they fix it?
PS: Yes, I have already googled it, that doesn't give me the answer I am looking for.

Why are female human weapons so oversized?

The reason it's larger is because there is intentional or unintentional code that makes it so.
Also, size matters.

I love that the female Human Weapons are so big. I just like that style. Thats one of the reasons i like to play them.
The other is the animations... but they are rip in legion.

2016-06-30, 02:49 PM #4DeletedYeah, thanks. I would never have figured that it's part of the programming.

I loved Quel'serrar on my human female warrior back in classic WoW. Looked like she meant business.
Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

2016-06-30, 03:11 PM #6DeletedIt was already like this back in vanilla? Today Quel'serrar is as big as herself and looks like a two-handed weapon. Originally Posted by Mirishka

I don't have an issue with this but, female characters have larger weapons except for blood elves but the only thing that looks tacky is what was mentioned earlier, the weapons being different sizes when (Un)Sheathed.

To be fair there are some Daggers that look/Share models as 1h swords. Originally Posted by Chitika

I love when my BE DK swings Armageddon and chops an alliance jabroni in half.

when they updated the models they said they weren't gonna fix it. it was an unintentional thing from way back in the day, and it's been around so long it'll piss people off.
honestly, it pisses me off that it exists. it's annoying, ruins every transmog i try to cobble together, and it needs to at least be some kind of fucking toggle. i don't want to look like i'm using titan's grip, goddammit.
it looks stupid as shit.Last edited by derpkitteh; 2016-06-30 at 03:44 PM.

But if they changed anything about that they would make it so you are constantly carrying a highway traffic sign on your back. Originally Posted by Twistedelmo

Go play an elf if you want to fight with flatware.

I would be livid if they reduced the size of female human's weapons. I love that those toons can wield a weapon every bit as badass as their male counterparts in the game, unlike the toothpicks my be females are sporting.

You'll take my oversized weaponry from my cold dead hands. I already have to deal with stupidly tiny shoulders in a game full or people walking around with whole goddamn cars on their shoulders.

Why are Human Male hands so oversizes? It's called fantasy, it just a game.
-
2016-06-30, 05:38 PM #18DeletedNo, that is not about fantasy, that's about beeing too incompentent to fix anything in a resonable timeframe. Originally Posted by Kenji87

If you're going to bitch about them not fixing a non-issue, why don't you log into battle.net and fix the problem of your subscription being active. Then fix the problem where your computer is functioning. Originally Posted by Chitika

As far as i know, nope. Originally Posted by Chitika

Don't quote me on that, this was long ago and there was never really anything official about that, except for the Orc shoulders.
