SJunior Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) ^Wraith pic ^Normal Machete Now, As a fan of the look of the normal Machete, I was pretty happy to get this new Wraith. But when I equipped it, I knew something was off. As the Wraith looks more like a short sword/dagger. Whilst the normal Machete is pretty long. So I took the two pictures to compare. Also, When you swing the wraith, The reach radius is a lil' bit longer then it's model. So.. Bug/Mistake with the model?

Casardis Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Not only that but the Wraith's energy seems a bit bland compared to Gram, Machete (regular) and Plasma Sword, even with the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVEOX Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 You know, it would be better to show the comparison if we didn't have to open the links in new tab. Friendly tip: Use the img code.

I think that is intentional. With the whole Wraith theme, Maybe. -Shrug- But The model seems pretty weird to me. Especially since I quite liked the size of the original.

taiiat Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 honestly, Machete Wraith is the size of well, a Machete. the original Machete, isn't. it's the size of a Sword. Machete's are rarely that long. they generally are more along the lines of a short sword. is this relevant to Warframe? not necessarily. but due to that, it's totally justified to me. besides, these smaller melee's are the only ones that don't look ridiculous on the smaller frames (i.e. Nova).

Zachles Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It needs to be bigger, for sure. It's tiny... I thought it was just me, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know Machetes in Real life are smaller. It's just, The Normal Warframe Machete I liked. With how small this Wraith is, It completely changes the feel of the thing for me, And I'd rather be using the non wraith variant. And will do so, If this wasn't an accident of some kind.

Mak_Gohae Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 The MW is described as a combat knife so it makes sense that is a bit smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasamoto Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) The handle now "floats" in the hands of the Warframe. Floating is worse, if not just as bad as model clipping. Wow my son.... Designwise so disappoint. Edited October 31, 2013 by Kasamoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaNki Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm kind of disappointed that the Machete wraith is too small compared to the normal one. In my imagination the Machete is bigger, longer and can be compared with the Galatine in attack range. Well now look at what we have here, a toothpick size Machete wraith. +1 vote to resize it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NetSlayer Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 This size has to be a mistake. Also like the strun I was expecting a decent crit rate.I'm a big fan of the machete because - dare I say it - I like glowing things and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoshesToDoshes Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Remember, kids. The bigger your machete, the shorter your sword... I'd still rather have a bigger machete though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethernalvoid Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah,when I saw the Machete Wraith for the first time I thought it was about the size as the original. The currently Machete Wraith is a little bigger than a knife. +1 for resizing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyssa Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 A few thoughts: Firstly, to be honest, the machete looks too long, but, we'll get to that. Secondly, balance: Every weapon in the game has some semblance of balance. Higher dps means you'll have a lousy reload or a shorter range. The strun wraith probably has a lower range than a strun, but we don't go around comparing, it's a bit hard. If you look at the stats, the machete wraith does 1.6x times the damage of the regular machete. They swing at the same speed, have equal crit chances... they're quite identical in every way, except for the 1.6x damage multiplier. So, in order to have some semblance of balance, rather than having the "tier 2"(but incredibly easy to get) reward be the ultimate melee weapon in the game, they have to change something. So, why not make it proper(smaller) sized? There has to be a trade off somewhere for all that extra damage. That may as well be it. Thirdly, there is no machete. Yes, you own one. Yes, you own a wraith machete too. However, when the PS4 version launches in 2 weeks, not a single solitary PS4 player will ever, EVER get a machete. It was deemed improperly made(for whatever reasons) and removed from the game. It's GONE. So, asking "hey, can this be more like that thing you purposely removed?" is really silly. If the machete was the right size/damage/speed, it'd still be around. It wasn't, so it's gone. It was so wrong, it had to go. So why would they purposely make something new with the same mistakes?
