About the new crafting animations

[Rjain]

They're horrible.

Don't get me wrong, the fact that it takes a lot less time to finish a synth is great and that should stay. There's two ways to fix the animations. There's the common sense way which actually looks good and then there's the "quick fix" which looks absolutely awful and completely unnatural. They took the latter approach. I am hoping this is temporary.

The better approach would have been, instead of sawing maybe 4 times you saw twice, at the same speed. Have you guys seen armorer? I am hitting metal like 10 times or more a second. It looks ridiculous and outright silly.

Please bring back the original speed to the animations by 2.0, just cut down the length of them. This is a major put-off to crafting, considering one of the biggest charms of this game is the eye candy in its graphics and animations, and this is a complete step backwards.

I like the new animations ._.

I am legitimately scared for how the carpenter rapid synth looks like since it was fairly odd already.

Could we get some kind of confirmation if this is planning on being changed in 2.0?

Crafting is being pretty much revamped so I would assume the answer is yes.

I'm sure they considered just shortening the animations like you pointed out, but maybe they ran into some trouble with that. It does look a bit ridicolous I agree, especially Rapid Synths which were already really fast.

I don't mind the animation.

I'm almost certain that they're going to be putting new animations in for all of this in 2.0, I remember reading something about how the sped-up animations were a quick-fix stopgap to make the game playable until then, like many other things pre-2.0, but I cannot find where this was stated.

I certainly hope so. This is horrible lol.

Personally I'd actually rather have the slower crafting pace back if it means actually looking decent, but that's unnecessary as you can fix crafting speed without ruining the animations.

Let's bitch about every subjective thing. By all means.
