Hydra

[LatinII]

Who remembers when Jagex made a Summoning Concept Art about Hydra? Well, I do. That beast looked pretty impressive to me, and I was exited to see what it would look like in-game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, when I saw it in game, I was like: "... You've got to be kidding me?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's so... small. It's even smaller then a goblin. I was expecting to see a big, and impressive-looking beast. Not something that is even smaller then a level 2 spider.

Remeber the Wolpertinger? Remeber how scared of it you were in Wolf Whistle? Now I see someone summon that and I just go like: "I can't believe I was scared of that tiny little fuzzy cross between a wolf and a bunny."

 

 

 

And yes. Hydras do look... slightly... less intimidating than it should be....

I kinda thought that as well. The familiars just aren't as fearsome as they're made out to be.

well, if you feel like re-writing the java programming, by all means, be my guest.

It's not hard to make Hydras a little bit bigger. :roll:

But it is harder to remake a polygon model at higher resolution, and it'll tax the game more as well as limit the hydra's fighting ability; the bigger a familiar is, the harder it is to maneuver it in tight spaces and the more time it spends dancing with a monster instead of fighting. You should thank your lucky stars it's a small summon.

It's not like it's very useful besides the tree regrow anyway.

Then don't complain about how small it is, and how Jagex could make it a little bigger.

Did I? No. I merely said it isn't that hard to make it bigger. Well, given the time for a minor revamp of the Dragon platebody, it'd take Jagex a year.

And I merely said it would be hard to make it bigger. Why should they completely redesign a summon's graphics, and why would you want it made much harder to use by increasing the size?

Jagex does a lot for us. They work hard to keep RS running smoothly, coming out with new things, and updating old things!

 

Don't complain about something that isn't "very useful".

 

 

 

And to the OP, forgot to mention in last post, I understand what you mean.. But given what other people have said, it makes sense why it's so small.

Actually, those would all be reasons why they shouldn't nerf a monster for no apparent reason. Why take away time they could be spending developing a new, cooler summoning monster instead of wrecking an old one?

[Star_Fox]

same with wolpertinger. i was expecting the same look from wolf whistle. just get that summoning level a bit up for a geyser titan. you'll definitely be satisfied with that.

[Forerunner]

They should have given Hydras hind legs, they look so pathetic crawling like that. Kind of comical, actually. :lol:

[Sir_Kurity]

Wolpertingers look awesome, i want that widdle bunny wabbit =D.

[Bauke]

It's not the size that matters, it's what you do with it.
