No ~POW!!~

As the title suggests in a comic form, there is no "punch" to attacks. They don't have any weight to them or power(the feel of power behind them). I'm not talking about numbers just how they feel. Am I the only one?

What I'm talking about:

...

So for people like Ehllfhire here, what the OP means compared to 1.0, animation lock aside, there was a weight to the attacks, even in FFXI attacks felt like they were doing something, like they were actually your character landing blows - in ARR, Yoshida mentioned they purposefully got rid of the "weight" to attack animations to compliment the speed of the battle system. ARR's animations feel "weightless" in sound and execution at times, just compare:

So while animations are much faster, they don't have a "weight" to them.

Clearly you've never done a haymaker as a pug/mnk

Are you plugging your brain into the game? Otherwise you wouldnever feel attacks....

I cross-class Haymaker from PUG on my BARD and that feels like you are hitting them the way the animation is done...I like it....I punch you in the face sir monster and slow you down...LOL it is even complete with gold rings around the monster like they just got jacked up>>>!!!!!!!

No place for such a thing as good looking animations in a standard MMO! What do you think this is, a Final Fantasy game!? No! This is a post WoW MMO, get with the times!


*sigh* You know, it's funny how some of us who've been criticizing this sort of stuff even as far back as when the very first gameplay video of ARR was released were just marked as "nay-sayers", "trolls" and who knows what else for calling out this kind of stuff (biggest example being Rokien who, ironically, ended up being right on every single thing he said after all), but now, after the game's been launched in this state, pretty much every single thing that we criticized is starting to resurface, and even some of those people that kept calling us "nay-sayers" trolls have been calling out some of the unnecessary changes or downgrades the game's had.

Man, I wonder where this game would be right now if it weren't for the insane amount of white knights we had on the alpha and beta...

[Moheeheeko]

white knights..

that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

People that defend everything SE and Yoshi does and call everyone who dares speak their opinion or against a change a troll, naysayer, black knight or negative person - he used it correctly.

That would be a fanboy or a drone.

The widely accepted definition on the internet for a white knight is a guy defending a girl he has never met in the hopes that she will have sex with him.

Meh, call them whatever you will. You get the idea.
