Thread: backwards walking in 2.0

PUT A LIMIT ON WALKING BACKWARDS, IMMERSION RUINED!

A man does not fly like a bird, but one foot moves and then another and then one day a man is there and a king dies.

I'm glad someone started a thread on this topic. The backwards walking is disturbing. I loved the rest of the video but I'm praying the animation isn't finished yet. I can't stand games where it feels like you're skating over the surface - that's what this looks like to me. I thought they did a great job in FFXI and ffxiv 1.0 - so I have faith they will refine the animation. Would love to hear from a dev what the long term plan is...

Keep this going they need to know its a concern....

I think it missing some animations. I was wondering why he was only using like 2 abilities. Probably because other battle animations were not done yet.

No, you get over it.

It's people that bitched and moaned about wanting PvP that SE finally listened. But guess what? They have to sacrifice a unique feature to "balance things out." That's what PvP is all about. Balance. So we're going to have to deal with nerfs and all that dumb crap just because people want to go up in arms and PEWPEWPEW at each other.

PvP also brings the worst out of people, which is clearly represented by your attitude.

I'm not the only one that is bothered by this and we have every right to speak up. We're not going to sit here and twiddle our thumbs and go, "Oh ok." We now have the opportunity to say what we have to say because SE is finally listening to the playerbase.

If there's something we don't like, WE HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING.

Go ahead and say I'm butthurt. I am butthurt because I liked the simple things from 1.0. I don't see why it has to be removed or dumbed down because of some future content that is going to cause problems for it.

This is true, I won't argue against that. As it was mentioned before, we don't even know if what we saw in the video is the final thing, but I don't see what's so wrong about pointing out something we don't like?

I can "deal" with it for now, as it's too early. If we get more videos down the road and it hasn't changed, then I should have every right to be upset. Will it be a game breaker for me? No, but it is a damn shame to change something from a game that made it so special.
