Dark Knight Anibug: Floating Zweihanders, they look weird.

[Nektulos-Tuor]

There are a couple swords in the game that seem to float a bit above where they should be. I know all the models have their own code and animations since it seems that the other swords don't have this issue, but the models I am going to list all need to be moved down a bit, they just look a bit silly floating higher then they should.

I know I complain a lot, but I am actually very OCD and this kind of thing bothers me quite a lot.

The following weapons need fixed. I will list them all here for convenience. This also affects every "at least" male race. Even Miqo'te and Hyur, I will list some pictures here.

Weapons:
Skofnung
Adamantine Zweihander
Mythrite Zweihander
Wolf Zweihander
Cobalt Zweihander
Balisarde
Mythril Zweihander
Aetherial Mythril Zweihander
Steel Zweihander
Aetherial Steel Zweihander
Storm Private's Zweihander
Serpent Private's Zweihander
Flame Private's Zweihander

As you can see, they are all similar swords because I actually love this style to death. However it is probably the worst placed weapon in the game. The weapons literally float above the character's shoulder.


This bug fixes itself when you sit down, its only present when you stand up.

I think this is the ONLY weapon type in the game with this issue/problem. Please take a look at it!

TLR Version:

Issue:
The guard is way too high, clips through helmets and hair. Looks really bad.

How to fix:
Move the weapon and the weapon's guard down closer to the shoulder, it WILL not clip through the ground.

As seen here:

It has to be there, or else the sword would pierce through the ground.

No. I just pushed the image forward.



Plenty of room.

I can literally move it down where the other swords in the game are and they are not only longer then the Zweihanders they also barely pierce the ground. Moving this down to the shoulder would not. Even on the shortest races.

I'm having trouble seeing the issue here, it looks fine to me.

The guard floats above the shoulder. Although this is craptastic this is where it should be.



On most plate models, the guard is so high it sticks through the characters helmet, hair and face.

It is atrocious looking.

Well, since we're being anal here, I think the one on the Au Ra looks a lot more unbalanced than the one on the Miqo. It's just too left.

If there is clipping just turn the weapon off. All you gotta do IMO.

That isn't an option for me because I also roleplay and like how the weapon looks on my back. As a plus, having no weapon on your back when your wearing plate armor looks extremely weird.

I wouldn't like that if I wasn't a roleplayer because of mentions above.

I'd rather the problem get fixed.

Plate Armored users feel so naked without weapons on their back lol




If I was a scholar or something with a small book or black mage or mage type character I could just say magic hides my staff or book. It also doesn't look as bad because robes usually have stuff on them. However, the greatsword on plate armor? No, it just looks stupid to not have a weapon when your armored to the teeth.

[Ashkendor]

The weapons already look silly because there's no sheath or anything. It's like they're held to our backs with magnets. I really don't see how this is better or worse than any other weapon. It feels like you're just looking for something else to complain about. :/

No, this is a legitimate concern. I think if I posted this as anyone else I wouldn't have a problem but i'm trying to improve the darn game here. This looks atrocious and silly. Just like Darkside did. If I knew Japanese i'd put it on the Japanese forums.

If your shield was buried into your chest, do you think its just fine? Wouldn't you make a post about it? Awnser: YES. It looks stupid and weird. Yet its a "complaint", regardless of what it is, this is very legitimate.

Don't you want to make the game better? I DO.
