Ironforge UHW Weight Limit: 800kg or 2500kg?
« on: August 07, 2015, 12:56:03 PM »
Seeing as Hero Of War's showcase was headed towards derailing, I decided to make a discussion thread. The logical conclusion for Ironforge UHW is 2500kg, but could it be 800KG? Much easier to make. However, seeing as SHW is 600kg, why not have a new weightclass for 800kg instead of UHW? While this would mean you would need a antiballast if you wanted to attach ballasts to one, you could just make one. Hell, I will get on with one once we pick a name for this.

No, Superheavyweight is 400 Kg - 600 Kg.

We should have a new weightclass at 800 kg, yes. As for the name, I have no idea.

And maybe UHW at 1200 ?

Mega heavyweight sounds dumb but I'm all for the inclusion of an 800kg weight class.

Or you could move the existing weight classes up and add like a Bantamweight of something further down the line?

Or Extraheavyweight/Overheavyweight.

I would think it makes sense for 800kg to be UHW and 2500 to be GHW.  My two cents.

LW:125
MW:200
HW:400
SHW:600
UHW:800
GHW:1200

it breaks the "stock = ironforge x2" weight limit rule at higher classes, but anyways the 5000/10000 weight classes are a bit dumb in stock. there should be a 2500 kg weight class because everytime I build a DSL UHW I stop at 2500 and then you only try to add random components to go up to 5000. Ever wonder why half of the Clash of the Titans entries were multibots ?

Fully agree with this. Will re make the poll putting this in.

Also, Should we bother with cruiserweight or should we permenantly kill it? It might actually fit in now, seeing as i sometimes hit over MW. Might be good.
So the list now would be:

AW - 70kg
BW - 90kg
LW - 125kg
MW - 200kg
HW  - 400kg
SHW - 600kg
UHW - 800kg
GHW - 1200kg
And possibly
CW - 300kg
TW (Titanweight) - 2500kg
UOW (Über Öber Weight) Limitless.

Removing poll, replacing with new. This is so you can actually change your vote.

Should UOW just be Uberweight?

CW isn't really necessary in ironforge seeing that the weights have been divided by two. But we can keep it.

Poll is up. I do think that UOW could use a better name. Maybe just Überweight, seeing as Over can be translated to Über? (Google Translate has 15 different translations, so if Thyrus can confirm, that would be great.)

No.
All your hopes are destroyed and its all ogre now.
But yeah, no. Unless you want UOW to be Overweight, and you can call it Ogreweight.
