Ninja & Rogue Toggle run request

[Satarn]

they were just correcting the OP on the unique-vs-not thing.

And I am correcting them? Stating the animations come from PLD rather than GLD is inaccurate despite trying to be a correction, since they're largely reused from 1.0 which did not originally have jobs like PLD at all. You're overreacting as if I started cursing the guy out, while I was also just correcting, at most with a slightly dismissive tone, so really just about the same as the post I responded to. Yikes indeed.

If anything, the fact that every time this topic is brought up somebody has to come with a "correction" as if it was an argument against adding the option, is mean-spirited and dismissive itself, since there was no attempt at signaling that while animations may not be completely unique, it is still a valid request.

They never dismissed it - you're the one who assumed they were attempting to by simply correcting the presumption that it's a unique animation. The fact that they simply said "it's not actually unique to *blank*" (not a direct quote, obviously) means nothing other than "it's not actually unique to *blank*".

It's like if someone were to say "I wish the cashews in chocolate werent so crunchy" and someone else corrected by saying "theyre not cashews but walnuts." That's simply a correction. Maybe theyre wrong, but theyre not saying that the actual OPINION is invalid or anything, just doing their best to correct the misassumption.

To be honest, it's extremely meanspirited to think that whenever there's no outright praise or agreement with the view, that it's exactly the opposite and theyre against it.

It's GLA, not GLD.

Rogue doesn't have a unique run/walk animation. Just like all the DOL/DOH jobs, it's borrowing it's weapon/tool drawn walk and run animations from paladin.

That's fair! I never really noticed so thank you for pointing that out ^^
Still, the choice to toggle run animations since they change when you get to NIN would be ideal

[TheMightyMollusk]

I would love to have options for character animations. Rogue vs Ninja runs, Machinist Heated vs non-Heated animations, turning off Warrior's aura out of combat, stuff like that.

The one thing about nin that slightly bugs me is that it's increased speed applies to walking, so if someone's ever a NIN in RP and you're walking somewhere they always outpace everyone else a little bit lol.

Even when moving slowly, they're faster! Working as intended.

Oh gosh yes. I would very much like NIN a lot more if it moved and was themed more like the rogue. It's a huge thematic downgrade for me.

I'm with you on it being a thematic downgrade- I don't plan on sticking to the class once I get it leveled mostly due to the wonky Ninja run & not being able to toggle between the rogue animation

Me too (or a straight up assassin, fine aswell) but I think they stated somewhere that they intentionally moved away from anything that could be associated with thiefs, thugs etc. so it doesn't look like they're promoting or endorsing criminal behaviour even in fiction.
With how strictly they censor violence and making as much happen off screen as possible and keeping it generally PG it's not surprising. Still a shame, I like a bit of an outlaw image tied to a class. Doesn't have to be really edgy, dark and criminal, just a bit would be enough for me.
NIN is all about control, principles, code of honor, loyalty, duty and so on which is fine on its own ... just not what many people were hoping for when they picked up rogue.
