during the beta, i've found it harder to click on smaller targets. the boxes are probably the same size but it just seems harder =\... well it worked on me, so it's bound to work on some other people. my character will probably be small.. but not a midget >_>

Mouse click targeting is the devil with smaller toons. It's just a natural reaction to click what you see. Sure little people have the same hitbox as sasquatch but you will still try to target their chest just the same. Or by habit try to target giants 15 feet above their head and out of their hitbox.

I prefer tab targeting personally (or the \ and / key for some) but when you are sniping it isn't always easy like that.

quick lesson for you then, use the tab key to select your target.

Read my above yours. Tabbing isn't always an option and I covered that.

Will midgets have wing sizes proportional to their body? cos you could end up with an albatross situation going on haha

Im a tall guy.. i like beeing able to play a tall character.. maybe its the point of view..

I once played a dwarf in ddo and got sick with the camera moving close to the floor.

Personnaly im going for the smallest size, so ppl have a hard time target me in pvp.

But its no so different from example WOW, where you can be a gnome (smallest) or a tauren (biggest)

 

Actually your target hit bounding box is the same size regardless of your player size, so this won't matter.  However, being smaller may be beneficial to avoid getting ganked often since it would be harder for other players to see your character from a distance.  If it did really matter, you'd want the tanks to be huge and the casters to be small.

There may be a small advantage in the distance sight, especially if the ganker has a computer set to a lower draw distance. Possibly also if they are a click and shoot type instead of tab target (or whatever nearest enemy is set to). With skilled players, you could be a mouse and die quick.

QFT. I've always done this in MMO's. Mainly because they look stupid and piss me off. lol

 

Well, I suppose people have to work out their demons some way.

haha, nah.  Kinda over-exaggerated a little but they do kinda annoy me. >.<

It would be wrong to assume that everyone that makes a small avatar is doing so to get the upper hand in pvp combat. People just have to accept that some people like to play small type characters/races. Dwaves, gnomes, imps and, of cause, in this setting, fairies, pixies and sprites. Not everyone wants to play a 6foot giant:)

hmmm I forgot....peter pan

The first time I saw the smallest character I thought it was someone's pet :) They are kinda odd looking... But that would be kinda cool if you are a dual-boxer... hard to notice the little one... matter of fact I might do that... Name it Minion of Asmos or somethng like that if you are a caster!

Lol at all the people going "it's harder to click". Do people seriously still click? There's this thing called tab, you know.
