Thread: Preserving removed animations in 4.0

Losing a couple of abilities was a mild shock, but nothing I'll miss in the long run. It's mostly numbers in the end anyway. The only thing I WILL miss are the unique animations that, by my knowledge, will become lost as well.

Scourge and Ring of Thorns come to mind. I was excited to use both in combination with the new /gpose system, but now this might not be possible anymore.

Is there a way we can keep the animations? Like.. Dummy the abilities out so it deals no damage of any sort (like the 'attacks' our Magitek Reaper has?).


Edit

According to some replies below, we'll be losing a couple more animations.

• Scourge
• Barrage
• Ring of Thorns
• Dancing Edge
• Mutilate
• Shadow Skin

Do let me know if there are any others!

So it seems we won't be getting the removed animations back right away..
HOWEVER, the devs are open to putting (highly requested!) animations back in the form of 'maybe' an emote.
So! If you already sorely miss a doomed emote, do post which. With some luck, we might get them back!

I was told to come here and bump this thread. Not that I disagree with the sentiment behind the thread, mind you. I liked the Scourge animation, and I don't want to see it gone. T_T

Loop the 1st to 3rd quarter for a pole dance.

Coming soon to Mogstation, where a bedless /doze isn't indecent as long as you pay for it.

Wide Volley was rendered useless after the Bloodletter/Rain of Death update. You're spending more TP for the same amount of damage. Wide Volley basically became a noob trap so I'm glad something is being done about it.

Doesn't explain why the animation had to be removed. Heck, you could as easily just made Wide Volley the Quick Nock trait -- at over 12 yalms from the target, you can still use Quick Nock, but it consumes 20 more TP. The icon and animation will change to indicate the increased cost (becomes Wide Volley).

Did they indicate why they are removing ring of thorns. Is it the whole no AoE thing again, grr..... it was a decent AoE move better than that line one.
