Why is the new dragoon animation so terrible?

[Griller]

The new visor animation looks like someone gave no ___ about actually animating it.

Here's what we were promised the cgi looks like : link

Here's what we got (epic disappointment) : link

and here's Af1 animation for comparison (much smoother) : link

I must have missed the part where they said "all cgi will be ingame as well"

[WellFooled]

As nice as it is to have a smooth visor transitions, i can't blame the developers for saving some work by trimming out the extra animation. Its so rarely seen and only lasts for a moment. Its what I would put on the chopping block as well if I had to save some time.

That much is true, but there's no doubting that the current nonexistent animation is lazy on their part.

[VitalSuit]

Yes they should spend time and money on animating something that you'll see maybe 0.1% of your playtime with.

I don't disagree there, i just find it delusional to use the term "promised" when based of a cgi.

[Martin_Arcainess]

This was promised? Where and when?

[Azzie]

Promised or not, the sudden appearance and disappearance of that chin part...

Not only does it look horrible, it just... What? HOW? It doesn't even make sense!

[Griller]

"OMG it's going to cost so much money and be such an inefficient use of time to make a /visor animation!!!"

/chuckle

why give us /visor at all if they shouldn't give no ___ about animating it?
speaking of which, they should give us an option to bind it to sheathe/unsheathe by default. then more people would use it. and no I dont mean macros lol.

much kudos to the dev team for the majority of 3.0 though, mostly everything looks great.

[Magis]

Yeah, that animation is kinda pathetic compared to the rest of the stuff in game.
