New female Human Weapon Scaling on 7.2 PTR

[Thage]

Long-standing scaling bug is finally fixed. People complain. Seriously, right now every weapon my warrior picks up clips through her hands so badly you may as well glue the damn thing to her forearm, lop off the hand, and call her Kargath goddamn Bladefist and it's been that way since they randomly fucked up the weapon scaling in Vanilla beta. There's a problem when weapons randomly grow or shrink when you draw/sheathe them respectively and it was always jarring to me.

This thread should be a poll, I think. Would like to see the ratio of love/hate in this issue.

Can't any moderator change that?

[lightofdawn]

thank fuckin lord. that was absurd

[tankbug]

Heh, as long as they keep them huge for orcs and tauren, I don't give a fuck. I'm sure many platekini-people are thrilled to see smaller weapons not covering up their dream girl.

They were only out of scale when their weapons were drawn.

[Andonais]

Finally no more daggers bigger than a 1h sword my orc would use.

[Tome]

Finally, took them long enough. Both good changes for blood elf and human female.

[Daevelian]

Blah, the piddly toothpicks blizzard turned Frostmourne in to are going to be SMALLER on my DK now?

All of my hate!

It's good to see them finally fix this problem. I can't even recall how many years ago this issue was even created. Was it wotlk or cata? I seem to remember it being when tauren weapon models got scaled DOWN the human female ones got scaled UP. After a lot of complaints they scaled the tauren weapon size back to normal but left the human females with oversized weapons.

Nooooooooooo Why "fix" this, one of the reasons I play female human is the stupidly huge weapon sizes.

Well this is only one weapon. I'd like to see more comparisons. Still, I always thought, that the female Humans Weapons were a tad too big. So making them a bit smaller should be an improvement in my opinion.

[A dot Ham]

Do they still resize when sheathed? Cuz that was waaay fucking annoying.

I want to say it's been this way since TBC. I remember using the deviate fish on my paladin and chuckling at how enormous my lollipop mace became when my character was using the human model. Around that same time there was a bug where orc male shoulders became comically small.

[shade3891]

much better, and the golden barbie hurts my eyes

[Raetary]

but.... i like the current size of ebonchilll on my mage

[Therougetitan]

As someone who has played human female for years I am not a fan. I like my weapon the way it is. I've enjoyed it for a decade why are they changing it now? Sure it's not realistic but WoW isn't meant to be realistic.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Do the weapons no longer magically grow like 25% larger when unsheathed? If so, then I think this is a long overdue change.

Finally. Human female weapons were just ridiculously big.
