Realm Reborn = downgrade?

[Firon]

Nope. I never expected to see such a downgrade on such an important aspect of the game.

lmao lol. This why 1.0 failed on launch instead making animation they should have had better server and content.

I don't have the time to read through 16 pages right now to see if someone brought this up but I don't see why we can't have inertia and a more responsive/dynamic combat system. Couldn't there be something along the lines of... If you select an action, the inertia stop motion is canceled and you instead execute the action. Inversely, if you stop without selecting an action, you will do an inertia stop animation.

I personally really like the inertia animations, makes it feel a lot more realistic, so I don't want to see it go but I understand the need for a more responsive combat system.

These transitional animations are of a great deal to me at least. This is how you make a feeling of gravity and inertia and making things in the game alive, instead of just moving some object arbitrarily.

And it's not for any sake of bashing. It's a concern of mine and I hope the director knows it's a big deal.

This. Please help make others aware of this issue, this isn't just grass, but a major aspect of the general feel of the game.

Judging by this thread i dare to say that a big part of this community may share my concern.

We need a developer to address the issue as soon as possible.

I'm a legacy member currently, but i'm not sure if i want to keep paying for a game that is directed to feel like another WoW.

ready or not, it's going have a lot of wow clonish things to it.

lol.

This is why every single mmo after WoW fails after a while. Because when you've seen the biggest part of the content what makes you STAY in the game is the general feel of it. I'm sure we've all seen the biggest part of FFXI content by our first year in the game, what made us stay and continue to level up was that feel.

First you establish the feel, then you add content. And animations are almost 50% of the feel.

OH NO! NOT THE PHYSICS! THIS WILL RUIN FF14!

FUNDAMENTAL GAMEPLAY ELEMENTS!

(Ignore the removal of the weekly xp cap, invisible wall and the stamina bar.)

Is this another Grass-thread about seen things in a "pre-alpha-stage-video"?

Anywayyy... back at the adult's table...

The only arguments I'm seeing against this thread have to do with "stop crying," when the only ones crying are the ones pointing the finger, and "it's only a demo reel," when the demo reel alone stands for an 80% optimized (Yoshi's words) graphical representation of what we are expected to see based on marketing alone. I want to hear from an official dev statement that it's either purposely removed, or that it won't work because of reason A and reason B.

[indira]

Don't you think by the time 2.0 releases would be a little too late to "cry about it"?

You have to understand something. Its 2012. We have a way of reaching out and make our concerns and opinions public for everyone including the developers to see. We're not simply "crying about it" , this is not a thread to circlejerk our sadness over our precious animation missing, but a thread to :

1. Make current and future players aware of this situation
2. Let the developers know we are aware of this situation
3. Ask for developers to address the issue before your MMO feels like Aion and its clones.

does SE really care?
problem is if any the game is using WoW as there focus point so its gonna have plenty of clone to it. and another thing is i doubt its gonna to gain much players just because people gave up on it, its a semi wow clone, and so very restricted to do anything. people dont wanna pay for it everymonth. dont think it will hit FFXI numbers for a long time the game is already 2 years old.

other games are doing new things most recent is GW2 you can just play that game start moving and you find things to do.
