Dunno if this thread has allready bin made, but tbh im kinda sick of looking at the same animation again and again and again and again (ya get the idea). I love Broadsword, Axe and basiclly all the handheld weapons, but it nerves me to see the same animation for Broadsword-Axe-Mace etc, allso blasting powers, wouldnt it be cool if a different power actually had a different animation too??????

Your suggestion lacks substance. "More animations" is an empty statement in the same vein as "fix it" is empty - it's an obvious suggestion that everyone will agree to, but which requires work to implement. If you have specific ideas about what, exactly, you would like to see, then post them here. Beyond that, you're getting a few alternate animations in I16, and it's an easy assertion that more will come in the future, thus the basic premise of "more animations" doesn't need to be suggested.

I'm not saying "more" animations per say, im just stating that it would be nice to see a different animation, for example using Disembowel versus Cleave (might not be the actuall power names, sorry bout that)

If you mean plain and simple changing the animations of powers that have been there for five years without the option to keep the old ones, then HELL NO!!! Keep your hands off my powers!

If you are suggesting the addition of new, alternate animations for these powers the same way Martial Arts and Super Strength are getting alternatives, then I'm sure pretty much everyone on these boards is going to agree with you and support you.

I'm with Samuel Tow on this one. I'm all for alternate animations, but nobody's going anywhere near my 1k Cuts.


The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)

Virtue Forever.

Well, that's in the list of features for I16, but exactly WHAT they are is... All over the place. Some people posted hand-held camera footage of them from the Comic Con, but I'm not sure where those were posted.

Sounds interesting, I'd like to find these pictures, but I tend to get lost in these new monochrome forums.

I won't be much help there. I lost the thread they were posted in. You may want to go to City Life and outright ask for them. I'm sure someone will be kind enough to drop you a few links.

You can try to look for posts from Zekiran_Immortal. It was her who posted the videos.

Yes to alternate animations.

HELL FRIGGING NO to changing them without giving anyone the option of keeping the ones they like.

I bet you will get a LOT of responses saying more or less exactly what I just did.

First power customization, now custom animations? One impossible thing at a time, please!

They're getting them because they're more about the animations than the colors - but as they're adding selectable animations to a couple of power sets, there's no reaosn why they can't roll it out to other sets eventually.
Like Fly already has alternative emotes, so those could be switched over to being selectable instead.

Custom animations are part of i16.

Specifically, Martial Arts and Super Strength can't really be customized any other way, except for a few aura effects (eg, Focus Chi/Rage)

Sure, im all for ofc giving people the chance to stick with the original animations:-D
All i was "renting" bout was the fact that if you'd made a Bs scrap, you've seen the animation if your making an Axe Tank/brute afterwards, no surprise there, only dmg/effect chamces really no "woaa that looks SO cool" lol
