Dark Knight secondary stance?

[MrsFluffyButt]

Go away, Nek.

OP looks for miniscule things to complain about. In absence of actual things to complain about, he invents them.

What's crueler than being cruel? Ice Cold. That walk-by shiving, brrrrrr.

To do this they would have to redo and/or make a variant of every single DRK combat animation because they don't use an animation blending system and instead every animation has a set beginning and end frame that has to match up with the beginning and end frame of every other animation, in this case be pretty much the same, so when one animation ends it appears to seamlessly transition into the beginning of the next one. You can see this very apparently by doing the new /vpose and /bstance emotes without your weapon drawn versus with it drawn.

Because of this I really don't see them changing this or things like it anytime soon if ever.

P.S. I am pretty sure the stance is more of a Hanging guard (Hanging Left iirc the way it is held ingame) as Ox is held with the sword being mostly horizontal and not with the tip angled down.

Not really, one of the bosses uses Dark Animations with a unique stance.

What was the bosses name again? He was in 3.0x

He holds his two handed weapon upright, but uses Dark Knight attacks.

Ummm...no he doesn't, his moveset and it's accompanying animations are completely different and are much closer to Gaius than DRK.
He doesn't even swing or hold his sword-gun with two hands, in fact the only time that I can see him holding the sword that way is in the cutscene before you fight him.

If you are going to try to be snarky, at least try to use correct information as your base.

You fight him again actually. In THAT fight he uses a one handed moveset, however the SECOND time you fight him he uses a two handed moveset.

You fight him again in the level 60 instance.

PROOF.

Now please, stop trying to prove i'm wrong... it makes you seem silly when I prove i'm right all along.

Did you even watch the video that you posted?

Even in the second encounter with him it's still a completely different move and animation set from DRK, the only things that he has that are similar is that he sometimes goes into the DRK default hanging guard stance and has one poke, one slash and one chop that are maybe part of the animations (not even the full animation) from DRK attacks. That's not even close to using the same attacks as DRK and therefore covering the DRK animation set.

I'll admit that I forgot about the second fight with him, but sorry you still are not right.

He has both hands on his sword holding it up. He puts it up in the "Ox" position like a Dark Knight does, he uses Dark Knight attacks, just not very fast. You literally see him using it like a Dark Knight, swinging it like one. He just does not do it often and uses the very BASIC combos.

Way to half-way repeat what I just said but incorrectly spin it like you are correct by ignoring everything that I said that shows that you are wrong. Then again, not surprised since it is part of your MO.

Really?
Then where does he use Hard Slash, Syphon Strike, Power Slash, Soul Eater, Delerium, etc.
Hint, he doesn't because as I said already that at most they reused snippets of DRK animations to use for his animations.

That does not in any way, shape or form mean that they can just give you the alternate stance that you want and not have to put in the work to change up all the DRK animations because as I said before they would have to change how each animation starts and ends and how they blend with the rest of the animations so that they transition smoothly with the new combat idle. Regulus van Hydras' animations don't change a thing because they are not the same as the DRK animations, therefore none of the work to make such a thing happen is done and it can't be just slotted in all easy-like.

At this point I am done arguing this with you as I would have better luck getting a goldfish to comprehend the Rhub Al'Khali Desert than getting you to have any basic sense.

Please stop replying to Nektulos, if he gets 1000 replies to his troll ideas he becomes a real boy. Don't let that happen.

As for your stance argument about Regulus, stop it. You have more imagination than a children's show.
