    So Arthas shrank?

    In the very nifty WotLK cinematic, we saw arthas summon a ginormous mofo of a dragon whos toenail was bigger than him....and now in the raid that "same" dragon is the same size as sapphiron? I was really hoping it would be a fight with mechanics based on how big it was, but apparantly it doesn't mater.

    So is Deathwing going to be the same size as ony and nef now? cause it seems like they don't really care about the little details.

    If they deliver perfectly balanced encounters throughout all of Icecrown, I wouldn't mind if every boss was gnome-sized. Basically, I'm pretty sure they have much bigger things to worry about than the size of the bosses >.<

    There are bigger problems in the game than the size of a boss model. Plus if you make it too big you wouldn't see much of the boss and you'd be fighting a toe...

    Sorry
    This. Having a boss as huge as Deathwing is in lore would just fill our screens up way too fast. It's a game.

    Think about a boss thats so big that you need to dps him/her from a gunship, would be kinda cool imo. Instead of using the same size as they always have .

    Deathwing basically uses houses as his perch/seat (As seen in Blizzard art), if they made him the same size as Ony etc.. Then that's just plain bullshit really lol.

    You never know, they could always make Deathwing's battle in the vein of DMC4's end boss where you have to battle up the way to get to the head and kill it. I am not, of course, saying it should be EXACTLY like that, it would just make it more.... interesting?

    Perhaps you will see deadwing only in his human form. but i would like to think that when you see him as a dragon it would like the same size as Alexstrasza at the wrathgate. http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=31333#screenshots:id=115092

    It's a game based on fantasy lore - which in turn follows it's laws of fysics. All fantasy follows the fysics into some point, which makes it "realistic" and "accectable" for human mind. Like you say, everything be as it needs to be - to follow the laws of the world, even if somewhat twisted way. Otherwise it would be just some random mumble jumble rabble babble.

    For the deathwing, I expect him to be huge, althou I expected same on this wyrm. For a note, if you remember quests in dragonblight: alexandra told about old dragons which aspects are descended from, they were much bigger and greater in power.

    My point was along the lines of this. I understand that if it was huge, youd be tanking a toe. But there could be fight mechanics like being on the gunships to kill it. With how big the thing looked, it could have had scourge on it that people could have been fighting during the boss fight. It just seemed like they had this great idea with this dragon and really dropped the ball at the end. I guess the only reason they used it was to have a big dragon in the cinematic.

    i'm sorry to say i could only understand fragments of what you was saying, something about something being bigger?

    Re: So Arthas shrank?

    Deadwing is the biggest of all the aspects(Only Alexstrasza could match up his size) so if they make him as big as Sindragosa or Sarth it would be really stupid. I really hope to see interesting mechanics when fightind Deadwing.





    P.S. Also 1 more thing thats gonna be stupid - have a tank to actually tank Deadwing(i mean Deadwing to hit someone directly). I just cant imagine that ...

    Re: So Arthas shrank?

    All greater dragons can change form at will in WoW universe and the forms we see them in are just their most common ones not nescessary their original ones.
    That being said Deathwing might as well look like hogger when we fight him >_>
