New Alpha Video

[Jaimie]

IMMERSION


blue dots = bad
char spinning with no foot movement when camera is moved = bad
saloon doors / swinging doors that swing one way = bad

jump = good

But, what I really wanna see is a combat video

I think they did do a good job with what I've seen from the video. The only critique I would give at this point is more life in the city with NPC's and such.

"Four likes don't make you a conqueror"
"It's better than zero likes."

I say what I want regardless of whether it will get me likes or not, so please save your ad populum argument. And check the thread anyway, there are plenty of people who agree with me through out so don't act like its just me and 4 other people.

You also act like the animation is the sole reason the game ran so clunky. Nope. Bad coding, poor optimization, and bad server infrastructure and lag were the culprits.

The movement animations don't even lock you in place, either. You can pull a straight 180 and its mostly smooth and responsive. The movement animations cancel when you put in a different movement.

Did we play the same game because I really don't remember my animations being cancelled when I tried for something else.

And if we're still on the subject of the camera panning and the character not moving....rest assured that it's fine. The Gridania alpha footage was done before current alpha phase, no doubt to not have tonnes of character models in town.

Some abilities lock you because of the animations. Movement just transitions based on your input. It's not like you have to sit through every animation, and it won't play an entire animation if you interrupt it. Just tried it in GW2 and it's pretty much the same. An animation only fully goes through if you aren't putting in any more inputs.

That means there is still animation lock. And some animations lock you through the whole motions. Try it with Chaos Thrust. Bloodletter. Simian Thrash. Magic spells. There is STILL a lock that is painful. Even if you spam other inputs after it.

Yeah...there is animation lock. In the battle animations. I'm not talking about those.

Actually, testing it out some more, gw2 is more responsive. But it still has far better animation than 2.0 from what we've seen, because it still does have good rebound animations and returning to rest and what not, so simply having animations in and of themselves isn't the problem.

The thema is movement animation.
Test it yourself. Press ingame W then S and look how much time your char need to run in the other direction.
