Maybe because when I was messing with controls last night it looks very similiar to what we have right now, just some keys were changed. (camera wise) and also the appearance in the new video is definately a work in progress unless you deluded yourself to really think that running in place is what we will be getting as end animation and start animation. We also don't know what they have planned. we are just guessing off a visual that is not finished. I honestly spent an hour last night playing and went huh there is so much similiarity between how our characters move now and in ARR.
Rokien thank you for this you just proved the point so many of us have been trying to say and most have given up on. Because you all think we are "fighting you" when all we are doing is putting up our side of the discussion. Is that how you live your life? Anyone disagrees with you or has a slight difference in opinion, its a fight? not a discussion? Your stance on this makes this sickening. Just because I state that I believe the animation is unfinished and it will most likely be touched up a lot by the time we make it into testing or release, does not make me fighting you. It just means I am stating my opinion. I already stated yes anything that can make the game better is a plus. But we can't go running around like a chicken with its head cut off or anger or anything that we don't have a firm grasp on. Just because they said they got rid of that animation doesn't mean they don't have something better in mind. Now maybe we won't I am not that stupid to think some sacrifices need to be made to make a better game in the gameplay department. Also Animations can be improved upon and changed anytime in a games life cycle, game play can't. They changed animations and added new ones in a lot in 1.0 I am fully trusting they can do it again.
Now I honestly think they won't listen to this threads concern till after alpha or beta starts and people in it show genuine concern on how ARR plays and looks. They will listen to us on 1.0 concerns because we have played it handled it found the idiosyncrasies that make it click or not click. We can't do that from a video, because we are not a proper judge of character of the game because we haven't actually experienced it. Stop thinking just because we have been allowed 1.0 input that means we can harp on 2.0 already when we haven't even tried it.
Edit: nm wasn't a rant, can be viewed as one, but it was pretty balanced. lolol also hate some internet meme's and shouldn't have to point it out.
