Animations

[Betelgeuzah]

Every single battle animation is a poor excuse for a modern MMO or past MMO, so I think they're going to be revamped. They'll have to if they wish for any hope out of the bad reputation.

This is false. The animations are top-notch, the particle effects not so much. The problem with the animations is the lack of a proper transition animation between skills, and that some skills take too long to go off. Some animations also get affected by lag, so fixing these issues should be their #1 priority. The animations themselves look great, although it feels like a few skills have filler animation in them and need to be changed to something else.

If you think the animation here is "bad", I want to see someone do it better:

Yes, some of the particle effects need work.
