FunKCX.4197 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I love where in each new expansion, certain especialisations do get a new battle animation from their utility skills. Would it be ever possible to give that same amount of attention to weapon specialisations? It would be fantastic if you could give that same level of care and details to it. For example the hook strike from daredevils look fitting from that specialisation, but perhaps it could use a different animation when you're using it on a deadeye? Ever since HoT I keep seeing animations that feel a bit recycled far too often. How do you all feel about it? Is this needed or are recycled animations more than enough? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I'd like to see new animations, especially two-handed stabbing animations for Warrior's upcoming Staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 New animations could be very cool. I honestly don't know how much effort would be required but alternate animations could be interesting rewards for various achievements or content.

Batalix.2873 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 We didn't even get new animations for the EoD specs, nearly all of them were reused. I would prefer the devs fix that first, but honestly at this point my hopes are not high. I'm expecting all the "new weapons" to be a lot of copypasta as well. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezuzel.4987 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Sure, why not. I really dislike that the specter scepter animations are the same as warrior axe animations. A unique animation, less "axe chopping" and more "sending magical projectiles," would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the approach feels quite lazy and I'm not sure if it's because anet's financial department would prefer to save money. But I do hope they will spend more time adding new attack animations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen.2907 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Perhaps ANet could strip the draw, kill, attack animations, and footsteps off of legendary weapons and add equipment slots for each that people could then grind/hunt for. ; p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I'm thinking about specifically wanted the footfalls. Honestly, I think the game has introduced enough flashy weapons that there are enough options without the footfalls. And I just don't care about the petty aesthetic requests when the game is practically falling apart at the seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
