Please Shrink Gnomes

[Jubling]

Gnomes are slightly scaled up on this server compared to their original height. It's minor but now that I've noticed it, I cannot unsee it and I wish I could be as tiny as the titans intended.


Comparison:

A mangoes core I had knocking about -

Please find it in your heart to shrink gnomes a little if possible.

This was an intended shift, alas.

"Gnomes will be 15% more fat on next restart.
Now for real, they have been 15% more smaller than they should be for years on private servers. So now they will use the correct scale."

Oh that's interesting. So many odd quirks across all the versions!

Thanks for the info though, I can accept my slightly taller gnomes.

Gnomes will be shrinked on the next update.

Oho! Torta bless.

[Pahacsinta]

very nice.

There's been some difficulty with the Radiation from Gnomeregan and all, slightly changes genetic Material.

Sorry, gnome lads. Probably, not yet. It's being heaviliy debated right now and we don't know yet what's the right thing to do. RIght now many Gnome NPCs would be bigger than players and that's not right. Also gear looks better on bigger gnomes (:

Please, give your arguments why you think they should b scaled down again :)

[Darreno]

hah this is hilarious! I actually never noticed this small detail :P

Gnomes will be shrinked on the next update.

I strongly support this change. Because the tiniest is the better for this marvelous race.

And please could you add vegetable caps only for gnomes : onion, carrot, turnip hats...
so gnomes could at last be the chaddest chads in the chadland.

I know this would probably open a can of worms from other races, but would it be possible to let gnome players choose? While I prefer the smaller size, some of my guildies greatly prefer the higher quality armor and weapon models the size increase has afforded them. I'd prefer no one lose what makes gnomes special to them if possible. Barring that, I'll throw my support behind having gnomes remain larger. I know the increase has also helped in gameplay with healers no longer being unable to heal gnome tanks in a lot of areas. I feel like despite my own personal preference, the larger size is preferred overall.

I suspect this is a binary thing. However, perhaps there is some kind of one-time potion a gnome could imbibe to be a bit more...

wee.
