			Or does Mordesh seem to jog/run a little slower than Aurin?	
----
			It's the same speed actual movement wise, the Mordesh just looks slower because it's bigger. There's a difference in the animations yes, because techincally an Aurin would have to take more strides to cover the same ground as a Mordesh, but they actually move at the same speed.	
----
			
It is a perceptual thing.
Mordesh have longer "strides" than an Aurin who would take more or faster rate rate of steps to equate to the same speed of a Mordesh. Bigger characters in general will often feel "slower" because of this.
 
However with that said, all characters move at the same speed.	
----
			Well I can see the difference in strides with mordesh vs aurin.... I guess Im just used to quick movements when I use my aurin. haha	
----
			I like to think of them as graceful ;)

			Another person fooled by a common optical illusion.

Oh god, the eternal problem of "big" races.
You should have seen Norn in GW2.
Slowmo jog.

			Mordesh and Mechari are handicapped by a certain swish. 0_o

			I edited this thread title to make it more clearly state the question. Clear thread titles are important, people!~Team WildStar

One of the oddest things I saw when I was in the service was a C-5a in flight.  They are a huge plane and because of this, it looks like it's flying much slower then a 'normal' sized plane you might be more familiar with. 
 
The thing look like it'll stall and just drop out of the sky at any minute.

			The same thing happens with mounts and I think it's really true in this game. The grinder and Chua ball especially seem very slow due to their size, but they actually are not that slow. Equivar is the "fastest" non-hoverboard mount I"ve had in this game, but it's just an illusion.	
----
			
This is the reason I tend to stick with female characters and small mounts in games; the 'lumbering' effect you get from large models drives me crazy.
 
I LOVE my Granok engineer in terms of attitude, look, concept...I just cannot stand how oafish I feel when I play him.  For me, it's human female on a hoverboard; ZIPPITY ZOOM	
----
			The long, slow strides of the big folk lull me right to sleep.

I'd have to go with the perception explanation as well. But I've got a Mechari engineer I'm playing end game who I just can't seem to keep out of red puddles.
 
I've recently started playing a female Cassian alt who does seem to appear tiny by comparison, especially when zoomed all the way out.
 
The latter does seem to be a ton more maneuverable and agile. Though I guess I'll have to wait til I get her to end game to see if it helps my performance any. Even if it is only perception.

Ya, they sprint slower.
 
Speed goes like this:
Aurin > Human=cassian=chua > Mordesh=draken > Granok(lol)=mechari
 
I don't have the list for the mounts but I'll go find it and let you know.
