ITT: people who like pretty chatrooms more than solid gameplay

That's a rather ignorant statement.

That's a rather ignorant statement.

should i link you to 7000 posts complaining about animation lock in primal battles? then should i explain to you why the animation lock is proving to be a problem for them?

the bottom line is- if you want to keep that, you value your pretty chatroom over a game world which actually works correctly; over a game world which allows developers to deliver content which actually works correctly.

i could get into which of us looks more ignorant by industry standards and back it up my position with numbers, but you seem to be the kind of guy who just wants to have his opinion one way or another and won't have his mind changed regardless. so what's the point?

the most fluid gameplay allowing devs and players the most room for specific kinds of play lending to specific kinds of content does not allow for the most realistic animations possible. the most realistic animations possible do not realistically allow for the most fluid gameplay allowing devs and players the most room for specific kinds of play lending to specific kinds of content.

i can provide examples of MMOs that emphasized movement and gameplay over hyper realistic animations and physics that were successful. can you provide examples of MMOs that emphasized hyper realistic animations and physics over movement and gameplay that were successful?

can you provide examples of MMOs that provided both? and were they successful?

unless you could do this, look in the mirror before attempting to hang the mantle of ignorance on another.

Animation lock shouldn't be an excuse for garish and ugly animations (again, I don't personally have a problem with them on the video). TERA had terrible animation lock issues, and the animations were ugly in it.

you must have been playing warhammer online and confused it for tera or something, because tera is beautifully animated. also, another awful example- animation lock in tera is fully intended due to the specific way combat works in the game. no other MMO has combat like it.

i don't think you've actually played it.

People who like strategy and thinking ahead while additionally having a beautiful feast for the eyes better than fast-paced combat
Seriously, it's just a matter of preference. Stop insulting others' opinion just because it differs from yours.

let me know how your strategy and thinking ahead is working out for you @ifrit extreme

Its a price i am willing to pay to significantly decrease animation lock.

I'm amazed at how picky and overly critical people are about something is still a work in progress.
In any case, even when they are done I know there's still going to be people winning about the most miniscule things that might not even be an issue.
