    Hide Walk Animation

    I couldn't find any threads about this but, does anyone else feel like the rogue's hide walk animation is a little... lame? I was hoping for more of a sneaky/stealthy animation. Has square mentioned anything about this, or are we stuck with this hide animation?

    Yeah, I was hoping it'd have a more "sneaky/stealthy" animation too.

    While I agree with the lack of...uniqueness...to Hide, I have to say that if this is the only complaint of Rogue we have so far, they've done quite well with the mechanics otherwise.

    I always thought that even on DoH it looked kinda lame to just walk but I suppose it's more acceptable for those than for a Ninja to be carelessly walking about stealthed in a heated battle, waiting to put a dagger in your neck.

    I sorta treated it like Assassin's Creed, ya know hiding in plain sight in all that jazz, But I suppose it could be a bit more unique.

    If you want it to look better, just unsheath your weapons. It slightly alters the walking animation and makes it look much more like stalking a target

    Oh god no. There are very few races that have a reasonable Stealth animation. All the others just look goofy.

    I'm actually glad they just went with a walk animation. It makes sense in the context of the spell,"Blend in with your surroundings". Not doing anything inconspicuous is key to blending in, lol.
    I like going into Hide mode with a puff of smoke, then casually strolling about like i own the place. Its refreshing compared to WoWs goofy splayed arms wobble walk.
