Crossbows on Hunters scaling down - PLEASE fix it

Community General Discussion

For years, crossbows have scaled down when on the back of hunters, only to regain normal size when held in hand. Could you please get around to fix this? It looks insanely ridiculous when i run around with a god d-mn Kinder-Egg-toy strapped to my back when its not in my hand.

You wont give us ranged survival spec back, and you wont fix MM for PvP, so please - give us this small bone?

I’m here in kookis place to complain about blood elf weapon scaling.

Seems like Blizzard is a bit too busy to fix visual stuff :zzz:

Last time I saw them scale something to a better size was in TBC. When by accident the Orc male shoulders were tiny. My Shaman looked ridiculous.

I do hope the will do something about the crossbow size. And maybe add quivers at the same time for bows.

Quivers is too much work. Fix the scaling of crossbows for now and we all will become happy!

I don’t even play hunter but I’ve noticed it quite often and its really ridiculous.

And while we’re asking for fixes, ever since the model updates eye-patches float infront of the eye… fix please!

It’s not a bug. It’s a delibrate choice. There’s a special attachment for a crossbow that has much samller scale than hand attachement to scale down crossbows when they are sheathed because someone at Blizzard thinks that full size would look akward.

Some other weapons and shields on some models also scale down when sheathed. It’s just a small difference so you might not notice.

Still crossbow scaling looks bad and should be changed.

This is not a ‘hunter’ issue. It happens to every class and most races/genders too.

No it doesnt. Its only a handful of weapons for any other class, IF ANY. But -EVERY- crossbow is scaled down for hunters. So please, dont go compare it to others because its not even in the same dimension.

I can find 100 weapons in all categories to all specs and classes that dont scale down. See if you can see the same for crossbows and hunters. No, you cant? So we have a problem.

I like that even this crossbow gets downscaled: https://i.imgur.com/8ZUjW8A.png lol

As someone who currently mains a hunter I can see why the game does this. Many of the crossbow models are a bit gigantic, so even on a large character such as an Orc, Tauren, Draenei or a Worgen a sheathed crossbow that doesn’t scale down would look pretty distracting and it will also look like it would snap their back at any moment.

All my swords on this human female have a different size in my hand or on my hip.
My shield on my Belf has the same thing.
Also on my goblin…

Not one of those 3 is a hunter. But sure, ok, only happens to hunters.

Funny, I just tried a couple of swords on my human female and found quite a lot that didnt chance size. I also tried a couple of shields on my blood elf paladin and found some that didnt scaled down. I also tried it on my goblin shaman, didnt scale down.

Now, link me ONE crossbow that doesnt scale down.
