Kelly.7019 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Why are norn mounts the smallest of all races? I don't think its a bug, but just super weird. My norn has the smallest mount of our guild and asura have the biggest of them all. Shouldn't all the mounts be the same size? pic1 https://imgur.com/YERl6Dx pic 2 https://imgur.com/lk3T73E I can only figure that because i made a whoopsy when i created my first toon 5 years ago and made a "small norn" that the mount somehow scales to how large you made your toon? I don't know if the other two have the largest scale for their toons, just a guess. But if that's not the case shouldn't my mount still be bigger then theirs cause my toon is bigger then their toons? It's weird, cause mine is clearly much smaller, while theirs is a slight difference. This a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly.7019 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 It's not that my norn is "big looking" on a normal size mount. (my norn is the smallest norn ever by the way) My mount is clearly much smaller then my guildmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were it not for my character being permanently locked in a loading screen, I'd go test it - I know for a fact that my Norn is almost tallest height. Like a pixel or two left on the slider.

Add the fact that a lot of players choose max size Asura, and suddenly you have Asura riding gigantic mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain why I don't have the OP's problem on my Norns. I initially thought maybe females were different, but I guess its because I made all my norns tall.

On one hand i get that, on the other my toons character height is still taller then the asuras and humans character height, all things being equal(which i guess they aren't in the dev world of coding) shouldn't the norn mounts still be bigger then everyone else's based on height scale. (but i suppose when thinking of "height scale" its not a matter of feet/meters per-say but small or medium or large) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes sense, I've been doing events with someone who plays Sylvari while I play Charr and their mount is much larger than mine. He's on the taller side for Sylvari and I'm on the shorter side for Charr; It looks like I'm crushing my poor raptor to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roda.7468 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yeah I'm not sure why they decided to go with high scaling instead of race + hight scaling. It looks quite silly seeing all these mismatched characters with their mismatched mounts. Charrs I think have the worst of it. Smaller charrs look like they're about to flop right off of their tiny mount, they're so top heavy on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Mini me Norn = Mini me Mount. If they are based on race then he got an Asura mount. We also have Norn that are shrimp size and Asura giants. Perhaps get a makeover kit to get a grown up Norn not a teenager one, pardon the pun. Please don't squash me like a Tic mr Norn. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 According to the Dev interviews, since characters on Mounts aren't two separate models, one on top of the other, but just one model, and the Devs wanted the Mounts (of a particular kind) to be a bit different, they scale to the character (height at character creation), and wouldn't be able to scale to race, and still be different. For more information, watch the official Mount and Guild Chat videos on Mounts. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
