Spell-casting animation..?

[ShellQ8]

Please do not rate the new animation according to the one we have right now, we all know the current animation isn't that brilliant. Saying things like "At least it's better than the current one" is just.. wrong.
(Not a wrong statement, but a wrong way of looking at it, the current animation should never be included in the equation.)

It's not "The current one VS the new one" It's about having a nice animation that doesn't look awkward or weird, especially when it's an animation you'll be seeing the whole time, over and over, in every battle.

And again, I'm not talking about the effects around the character, not the flares and flames, not the glowing weapon. Those are very cool. But what I'm talking about is character himself, his movement, he's moving and circling his hips in a weird way while casting.

We can see it clearly in the link Tonkra provided (Thanks) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnFLSH2jkjw#t=74m35s

I'm hoping it's just like what Yukikaze Yanagi said, unfinished.

i was responding to Op which had a different issue. Moving hips fall under "personal taste"

I am the OP.
And you're right, it's a matter of personal taste in the end I guess.

i think its great, its like he is floating/hovering in the air.. kind off. while casting.

i love that personally.. and also the effect color being apropiate to the element spell (green while casting wind, brown while casting earth etc)

and i think it will be even more fun, when playing yourself.


seriously the casting animation which we have now is so boring and feels just static... is blm fun to you? for me its not.. its just.. stand there in one place and press a button every 4 seconds.. with this new animation it feels hopefully less static


a conjurer is very spiritual so i think the "floating" animation fits it perfectly.
i first didnt like it too... but now i love it. it was just... because its so different to the current version. which is a good thing .
