People are mad at elin players because they dominate pvp since how fast you attack is determined by your height

Wouldn't that make Elins objectively superior in all categories then? I heard they have smaller hitboxes as well [editline]12th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=kenji;47690372]It's super weird because isnt the game otherwise Generic fantasy? Aion pulled this shit too when suddenly it was like "And now for some rediculous Sci-Fi Elements!"[/QUOTE] It's closer to Science fantasy, the castanics(in the picture) have some scifi stuff as explained earlier. But the game isn't very serious at all, there's even a police car mount.
[QUOTE=jiggu;47705536]Wait, fucking really? Wouldn't that make Elins objectively superior in all categories then? I heard they have smaller hitboxes as well[/QUOTE] Not really. Some races are better at some classes, other not so much. Like you wouldn't want to play a Baraka Slayer because they're huge and slow, but Castanics and Elins are better at it because they're small and agile. Likewise, don't play an Elin tank or Castanic since they are squishier. That's mainly if you're min-maxing though, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Elin Sorc is one of the better classes due to being quick enough to kite shit but small enough to not draw enough attention. Also yeah the hitboxes on Elins are [I]smaller[/I] and this game requires you to actually aim to hit your shit so in PvP, Elins are a pain in the ass to hit with ranged classes (unless you're high enough level with sorc or archer to get the auto-lock on skills, combo with stuns and you've pretty much won PvP).

It may be outdated since they've been patching a lot but this is pretty bullshit
they patched 90% of the shitty animations, and elins have around the same size hitboxes as humans and such, minus a few pixels. *had to recheck.

The hitbox differences are very miniscule (except for some races for example Baraka and Amani), attack hitboxes are large enough that just aiming in the general direction is enough to get hits. Size does not affect your attack speed or movement speed and none of the classes have any difference in tankiness. Elin/Castanics being squishier is a load of shit. I really don't know where you guys are pulling this from. The only thing that DOES change is the race's reach with melee weapons varying depending on race and sex.
