The Vanu MAX so needs a redesign.

[EVILoHOMER]

I can see people playing the MAX Units for the other factions because they look amazing. I've showed each MAX design to my friends who never played Planetside before, I'm trying to get them excited for this game though by linking them to all the images and videos. They all said straight away that the Vanu one looks horrible but lot the TR and NC MAX design.

As a Vanu fan I really want it to change because it would put me off using MAX armour for them. It could serious have an impact on balance too because people want to feel like a badass and not a gay crab lol. It just needs to look more meaty and mean like the other two because one looks like it came from Fallout and the other like it came from Terminator. Maybe the Vanu one needs to look more like..http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...72-d46fg2e.jpg



Though I do want to say I love the design of everything else that I've seen!

Typically vain Vanu...

I don't mind the design, but I do think it should be more beefy. It's a little too slender at the moment.

That said, I'd much rather TRay and the others work on stuff that hasn't already been completed before going back to fix things.

A majority of the people I've shown the game to we're instantly drawn towards the vs max and thought the other 2 weren't as cool.

It should be changed because your friend didn't like it, and you think it looks like a 'gay crab'. Totally legit reasons.

it looked far cooler in the concept.

It's totally down to personal preference here... just finished saying on IRC that although I am TR through-and-through I prefer the NC MAX, heh.

I'm talking recently, as in post-concept. Since they thought that one was the coolest, the TR and NC one must need a redesign

Give me the shit your friends are smoking.

Well I think they all look really cool although I can admit that I thought the VS MAX looked A LOT cooler in the concept art.

If I were to pick a favorite I would say the NC one which was the least coolest in the concept arts, but it turned out really great imo.

The vs max really does look like an alien crab. If you are vs and dont like that look I imagine some customisation will fix it up for ya.

This. I don't know if it's the texture, or they changed the shape, but ours is not as cool as we expected

Yeah, so it's not a deal breaker on PS2, but I do tend to agree with the OP. the VS Max has been toned down a bit from the concept, but remains too "manga-eqsue" to fit comfortably in my view of Auraxis. The Vanu have become too separate from the other factions in terms of anatomical design. The vehicles are great though!

I'm still gonna play VS first, but if I can't get used to fighting next to a bunch of luminescent crabs and grunts with light sticks then it may be "another faction" for me, and that would be sad after all the good VS times in the past.

Whingeing, I know, but isn't that the need the interwebz were created to fulfill?

[Sledgecrushr]

Just wishing the VS looked more like this.
