Hide Walk Animation

[joep]

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?

yea it truely is lame. I cant stand it.
I don't think I can play rogue atm... hopefully they will make hide like world of warcraft rogues.

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.

it looks so much like the stealth ability for gatherers i forgot i was playing a rogue lol

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.

Haha, it looks horrible right? I feel like a Botanist with daggers..
