They should call it expansion instead.

No, these haven't been edited in any way except cropping to remove irrelevant background.

I'm talking about the increase in size of my character.
You can see his feet are on the ground, but look where his head is in relation to the arch behind him.

That's not called perspective it's FORCED perspective.
It's where you use the angle and distance to make things look relatively larger/smaller.
It was used in LotR to make hobbits look the right size.

If you look carefully, and consider the perspective, you'll realise that in the super tall one the camera is actually further away.

What's to say they aren't two different characters? Different EQ. Pet/No Pet. :P I dunno. Cool though. :P

Looks to me like they either changed the area or you just moved the camera around to give an illusion using perspective. The bigger shot actually looks like the camera is closer.

Look at the ground, you can see more of it in the huge one.

Maddox, even if it was two different characters you couldn't get that much of a difference in height.

The only explanation is Photoshop. I've never come across any superhuge players before, either before or after ascension. My warrior is pretty much the largest I can get him, and everyone else is either smaller or the same size. Good p-chop skills though.

It wasn't edited.
The truth is, it's not possible anymore, but when I took that screenshot, you could walk all the way up and into the Mesa before you'd done the Ascention quests. There was an invisible ramp all the way up.
I was standing on that ramp and then moved the camera so it looked like my feet were on the land and not 3m above the water like they really were.
So the camera was very close to my character, yet still far away from the land

Magick it's not that my responses are EVER negative, just because they're not exactly what you wanted. Different people have different opinions mate, there's no law anywhere that says "Think like me or don't speak".

I've got plenty of positive posts out there, check the "find all posts" button in me profile to see my good side. Sardelac Suggestion board is a good place to look, PieXags has good suggestions too!

I just didn't think the screen was that...great. And at 4:00am, what else am I going to do?

Cheers for Amnisac though, that's a neat image.
