Race-based Animations [New Vote]

[thosholm]

I didn't vote on all, I simply felt that as a Tryker it wasn't really my business voting on how a Matis should sit. So I kept my voting to the male Tryker stuff (NO!! and yes) and the Female Tryker sit (yes) with a 'no opinion' on everything else..

Not voted yet. Need to log in and create a female and a male toon in Zoari, Fyros and Matis.

Let me put it this way. From what i saw in the movies the decission to patch this in without a switch in the user settings this will bring up the question to cancel my sub or not.

LOL, i like this game so much that it gave me a night sleeping bad.

With the old animations there a big blues, small ones, brown ones and pale ones. With the new animations you reduce them to RL races in a very bad way. White masters over ape like black people, dumb and brutal arabics and over funny little asian idiots and cute s*xslaves ? This might be Paris 2005 but not Atys 2005.
Words like: racism, inhuman and misogynist come into my mind. This is not lore or content anymore ! You probably will understand that i dont want to support such with my money. Even if its only 13 Euro. Well, i guess you dont care, why should i care if you start to play french sozial conflict ? I am quite curious if this is the world view of Nevrax or of their investors ?

Why has nevrax spent time developing something we dont want when the time could have been better spent fixing the Rites that dont work, wouldnt it be better to get the game working correctly before introducing more content .

I'm not stating I like the animations or not, this has been discussed and I agree some of them could be improved.

the decission to patch this in without a switch in the user settings this will bring up the question to cancel my sub or not.

It is, of course, your call. Although I can (hardly) understand you decision to cancel based on how the characters move, some players who didn't like the animations are also getting used to it -as we did with the spells a long time ago -

LOL, i like this game so much that it gave me a night sleeping bad.

you say you like the game a lot, yet you are willing to cancel based on the animations?

With the old animations there a big blues, small ones, brown ones and pale ones.

players have asked about racial differences in the past. I tend to think of them as game richness

With the new animations you reduce them to RL races in a very bad way. White masters over ape like black people, dumb and brutal arabics and over funny little asian idiots and cute s*xslaves ?

you are looking waaaaay too far. I see the animations as a means by which the developers are trying to tie hominkind to their (?) ancestors. The link with gibbais, cutes and frahars is clear. Since momos are not around, makes sense that Matis look as they did. The purpose, is still unknown, as it is part of the lore/saga.

Any analogy with real life is plainly unfounded.

This might be Paris 2005 but not Atys 2005.

nice generalism, you sound as if you are contradicting yourself.

Words like: racism, inhuman and misogynist come into my mind.

Absurd.
Racism? where is the discrimination? that we don't move the same? superiority? well, I, for one, I can't play basket as Michael Jordan, I can't swim as Alexander Popov, and so on... this accusation is plainly offline

Inhuman? this is a fantasy world, please!

Misogynist? this one simply I cannot even understand it.

You probably will understand that i dont want to support such with my money. Even if its only 13 Euro. Well, i guess you dont care,

well, I always care about other players opinions, and yes, I understand you don't want to support it with your money. The door is open and the unsubscribe option always present.

why should i care if you start to play french sozial conflict ? I am quite curious if this is the world view of Nevrax or of their investors ?

my question is: Instead of making the option to turn them on/off temporary, why not make that change permanent?
I attempted to play with them turned on, but the fact that my char persists on bouncing all over the screen while running gave me such a headache, I was forced to turn them off.

gotta agree with Radsul. While some of them look nice from afar, but its a very different issue when you're actually behind the helm of a char.

I have to agree. PLEASE let us keep the option to turn them off! I don't want to bounce everywhere!

Same here. I HATE the way my character runs. It looks choppy and no where near as fluid as the old one. It almost looks like it was designed by an amateur, not an expert. The new ones just don't look as well 'drawn' as the old IMHO.

[svayvti]

I have a hard time believing that very many (of course there are a few) people who have a Zorai main are saying they like the new walk/run.

[vguerin]

I am one of the few that for some reason cannot activate the new animations. A check does not appear when I click the radio button, I have submitted a bug report already. I'd love to see them in depth before voting based on earlier video's.

Just one question. Where do you live ? NA or europe ?
