Please Change NIN's HIDE Animation

Plainly walking doesn't feel right at all.

I have to question if this was intended?

Also, I know it would be a small PVP buff, but a little faster movement speed while hidden would be amazing.

It feels like I'm crawling on all fours at the moment.

OH! Last problem... getting out-of-combat to rehide in PVP takes FOREVER. It feels like I walk miles & miles away & still can't rehide.

Who knew! Just tried it out on Miqo'te... still a way's off, it's sort of awkward; I barely hunch my back.

Better though.....

Should be defaulted nevertheless.

SE? Can you please default the stealth animation to where we have our weapons drawn instead of the plain slow-walking one?

You get a creeping animation if you draw your weapon.

also it would be great if hidden triggered earlier in the animation, because boy is it slow

Yea with weapons sheathed it feels very halfassed to just be walking instead of in a more steathly stance.

I can imagine our characters tippy toeing when hidden. lol It would look the cutest on Lalafell.

If I want do unhide myself. I just use those event Items like Flowerpetals or Fireworks xD
But it helps!
I can unhide myself whenever I want that way ;D

You clearly get the best animations and the most effort put into them and you're complaining? If anything the other classes should be complaining how non-flashy everything we do is compared to Rogue and Ninja.

If anything they should change the time it takes for Hide to actually apply and make it instant, currently it takes about 2 seconds.

^that'd be nice as well, I'd prefer faster MS over that though.

Given the description is to "Blend in with your surroundings", It'd be rather easy to spot a guy hunched over and walking like a doofus in a crowd, no?
The whole theme behind Hide is not to magically vanish from sight, but to appear as inconspicuous as possible.

Mechanically, yeah we're invisible, consider the theme though.
Also, it hs amused me greatly on many occasions to Hide and then casually stroll past packs of mobs in Dungeons to ninja the chest and the stroll on out.

Why not ask for a cardboard box for the hide animation as well? You're already "invisible" so you can walk any way you want since enemies can't see you.

#signed, it needs a change. Especially how the sound is virtually the same as when you mount-up.

Yeah the sound it's like a horse neighing, it's off.

I can't stealth without my trusty cardboard box..
"It was my destiny to be here; in the box."

I would like an in-combat stealthing ability that also acts like an aggro drop...I know, WoW rogue, so lame, such a ripoff...but it is apt.

SE, this going to be changed?

Can we have a mild speed-increase during stealth too... it's pretty painful moving so sluggishly.

In FFXI, when you went invisible, you were 100% invisible to others, even your name. That was awesome.

I wish we could have that here.

Go invisible in Frontlines, completely invisible there to everyone else

They copy pasted the gathering hide animation. Hope they'll make one for NIN.

Do it SE!

...clearly you've missed the point.

I missed the point of being completely invisible to everyone, got you. Was only stating you are invisible in Frontlines, clearly you've missed mine.

SE? Can you please default the stealth animation to where we have our weapons drawn instead of the plain slow-walking one?

Or how about the ability to use hide in combat via a trait, like whm using raise in battle. So that way you can actually get rid of aggro while in battle like poster earlier said, maybe even make the ability to use sneak attack/trick attack in battle with that. And im for making that cooldown longer to use in battle so it wouldnt be spammed, but damn, i want to fight like a ninja, and that would be important skill to have.

You do realize they are technically off on weekends? You won't get a response till Tuesday most likely, if they respond.

Fair enough.

Grekumah, a response please?

When I 1st time used that skill to make myself invisible I expected, since its a Ninja, a smokebomb! o_o
Not just a weird looking move!

Also: the invisible skill from gatherclasses are WAY better than from Ninjas XD
Not only there skill has no cd -
You can use sprint-skill, riding a mount, emotes, talk to npc's, using teleport, touching quest items and you STAY invisible - while the ninja always lose his "stealth"-mode! <.<;

Kind of off topic, but can Suiton get its own visual effect similar to Greased Lightning/Infuriate/etc? I assume the reason Suiton lets us use Trick/Sneak Attack is related to some kind of mist effect, so that'd work quite well.

Honestly, the invisibility of XI was good and bad. If you cast invisibility on someone and their Sneak was about to wear, you had to click around to find them. You also had to keep them locked on if, say, they were the only ones that knew the area enough to navigate it and not get lost. The invisibility here in XIV is just an upgraded Hide gatherers have had since 2.0. You're only invisible to monsters making interaction with players much easier.

Grekumah...?
