New Job: Viper

[GTK0HLK]

I would have loved to have searched for other examples for you, because I am curious myself....butttttt now every search about MMOs with jobs named viper is full of the announcement of Viper for XIV. oh well

if only search engines had the option to deny results from the last few days easily as searching for the latest.

If this job really supposed to be inspired by Zidane then maybe we can hope for some of his limit break abilities thrown in during the burst phase or for the capstone abilities you get. That would make the job more interesting to build gauge with your melee attacks then use Dyne abilities or whatever they want to call it to spend gauge. Or it could be all slashes and dashes and that's all there is. I will say that looking back the the RDM reveal it did include Verflare, which was their strongest spell at the time of release, so this trailer should have included the strongest ability of Viper and I don't remember seeing anything that stood out as such.

With how fast the animations are, I look forward to seeing how silly it will look with a skillspeed investment.

41 belts have been counted.
For a job supposedly based on Zidane, it sure is very Nomura inspired.

Clearly, it was designed with Lulu in mind.

Yeah but that would require me to put in more than a single brain cell of thinking power

CK already mentioned it but for SGE it doesn't matter how the weapons are arranged on their back, they all just float away and the animation is always the same. This doesn't work for any job that has to physically grab and move their weapon as it would require a completely different animation for drawing the swords from your back and drawing them from your hip...or they only make a single set of animations and have it look completely jank, which is rather unlikely.

To a certain extend you already have this issue with Paladin, the job has access to a mace glamour but still draws the weapon like a sword.

I mean, you say this. Have you ever noticed how some Jobs kind of "snap" the weapon in and out of their hand? The /draw and /bm (battle mode) commands also have two different draw animations. And every crafter/gatherer is a Paladin. Apparently. Despite some of them having weapons sheathe on the back instead of hip, like that one carpenter chainsaw looking one. Yet it still unsheathes like a PLD weapon.

I'm more saying I wonder if SGE might be kind of a testbed/prototype where they were gaming it out to see what it would need. I'm not certain, but I could see it happen.

you can put a negative in front of a word to omit results . Example MMO Viper -ffxiv

Honestly what this game needs is /Love emote.

Honestly what this game needs is /Love emote. There is no power greater than Love, PERIOD. Do that, and watch the change.

And you made your first forum post in two years to tell us something irrelevant to the thread topic... why, exactly?
