Now, this could be an odd intereaction with my sound card, but being a high end card (Creative X-fi XtremeGamer "Fatal1ty" Pro) it shouldn't be as I'm running the sound settings at max.

With the shield away, my guy still throws punches while Ninja Running.

This was using all Bright kicks and punches; he uses nothing but Bright kicks. I didn't feel like spending the money to go back and forth to light and dark. >_>

2) When you run backwards you turn towards the camera and run while peeking over your shoulder.

3) Jumping backwards leads to a FULL LAYOUT BACKFLIP! *squeeeeee!*

Also, with Quickness(1 IO)+Hurdle(1 IO)+Sprint(1 IO)+NR my lvl 39 has Run Speed 50 mph and Jump 57 mph. Not quite up to the capped 86 mph I get with SS, but darn good!

And hey, I made the OP better! Now all the pictures are to scale with each other except for the snake knife because I can't figure out how to get that stupid thing to show up in demos!

Slow walk into warehouse....walk down hall...smart talkin thugs come after me...slug...buckshot....keep walkin.... with this song lol:

it wouldnt work for powers like full auto or snipes mind you, but for basic attacks to have rooting removed would make for epic demo records and badass-ery.

of course, i expect this would be extremely time consuming and wouldnt work on a lot of powers, but still, I can imagine

There's a large audience for a "beast" walk. Rather, a beast RUN to replace sprint/super speed.

Now that we know you can replace the basic movement animation. WE DEMAND MORE MOVEMENT ANIMATIONS.

Get on that.(I command you)

If BABs can settle on a way to use powers while walking, and it's not too difficult, he should also be able to give us other animations for walking and running. The one I keep trying to push is running around on all fours.

Here's a few of them.


Coral Hammer
Used by: Coralax
Would be available for: War Mace


Coral Club
Used by: Coralax
Would be available for: War Mace


Arachnos Pistol
Used by: Low-level Arachnos
Would be available for: Thugs, Dual Pistols


Elder Snake Knife
Used by: High-level Snakes
Would be available for: Broadsword, Dual Blades


Ring-Pommeled Sword
Used by: Midnight Squad bosses
Would be available for: Broadsword, Katana


Greatest Ice Sword
Used by: Blade Princes (Circle of Thorns Elite Bosses)
Would be available for: Ice Melee, Icy Assault, Ice Manipulation

There was also a fourth model for Ice Sword available at one point in beta that nobody had seen before; I guess it was an earlier model. But it seemed to work fine, so I don't know why they took it out. I don't have a picture of it, but let's add it to the list.


Tomahawk
Used by: Banished Pantheon
Would be available for: Battle Axe

Anyway, what do you think CoHmmunity? Would you like to see any of these weapons added?

Also the Flamberge, and Scimitar <-- especially this one, use dex stats more than strength in that game are quite fast.

you can buy a dual grip Scimitar too : http://www.kultofathena.com/product~item~SW615~name~Two+Handed+Scimitar.htm

here's the two grip hilt Flameberge (real weapon), similar in design to the one in Demon's Souls

Either one the question remains, why?

The basic problem is that with the Epic Archtypes... the powers are not yours. Your are borrowing somebody else's power-set and abilities. Because of this it is possible that Epic Archtypes may not get color customizations.

In two months, Frosticus will be saying that I was so wrong about DR being a possibility in the end game, BABs had to post a correction to my misinformation.

In two years the devs will add a buff soft-cap mechanism and Frosticus will say "I told you so."

Hopefully the emergency rollback will help until the "noodle" gets fully investigated.

*sigh*

EDIT: Ah yes, so I can stop myself doing arms-akimbo. Still, the animation is hardly to the standard of newer stuff. I don't like how the legs are completely set in stone on either of them. What I end up doing is using Eat, Drink, or the MA pad if I'm idling around atlas; those idle animations are actually animations, as you shift your weight around, moving with your whole body. It's very subtle, but as BaBs knows, it's the difference between a bunch of polygons and an animated character.

Plus, like flyposes, it's a manual emote that dies whenever you move.

Man, how anal am I?

Katana correctly just has the katana (the other swords wouldn't fit in the hands) so it makes me wonder if this is a glitch in AE or WAI and player characters can access them.

Can anyone with Vanguard weapons on Dual Blades or BS confirm these being accessible to players?
