Release Notes for 1600.20091102.0 - 11/04/09

This bot was made for walking,
And that's just what he'll do,
This bot was made for walking,
And one of these days he's gonna,
WALK all over you!



Okee, logged in, walking, checking things out in Oroborous, decide to see how it looks when I walk to my doom off the edge, the falling animation is hilarious!

• I saw a sped up version of the walk animation while falling (Walk power on + forward or R), just like in the cartoons!
• Swimming with Walk on is slow, but so far problem free.
• Suggest that icon on Walk button should be different from Sprint to differentiate the two.
• Would be good to be able to toggle from Walk to Sprint, currently have to turn Walk off then activate Sprint.
• Animation ascending or descending stairs is a little jerky, the timing seems to speed up too much and there's some clipping of boots on stairs and slopes with Huge and Male models.
• Flying + R results in abovementioned fast-forward pedalling while arcing to the ground. Looks unnatural, should transition to Fall animation?
• With Walk on, then clicked off, some powers can be activated via key command while Powers tray remains greyed out in power suppressed Creation Studio B of AE building. Eg. Sprint, Revolver, Energy Punch, Power Thrust. Do not get "You cannot activate <power>" message.

Up next, [Strut].

*goes off to check out Test* :]

I liked the female, male, and huge walking animations. Thanks to the animation team, BaBs!


I did /bug the backwards walk - not sure if it's a bug or the way it needs to work, but you spin and walk towards the camera, so you're not too aware of where you're going.

The stairs are a bit jittery, but I'm liking it a lot!!!

I'm going to go out on a limb here. What are the chances of having Walk grant a small +regen and +recovery buff while it's on? Have it be, say, half or a third of the benefit of Rest while still moving at a slow walk?

Tested it on females, males and big ones. The walk looks good on each of them. They all move quite different. Great job there.

3 things.
The power comes at level 1 now.

When you activate a weapon before you start walking, the weapon remains in your hand. Which looks cool when you walk nonchalantly with your Tommygun through the streets.

I couldn't resist and tried it on my MM as well. While I walk my pets hop silly after me, but most importantly they behave as badly as ever. Including attacking pasers by who dare look funny at me.

No biggies and I don't mind if it stays this way but just thought I mention it.

So any chance we can convince BABs to give us new running animations, with these same rules? Like running on all fours, shuffling like a zombie, or something?

With today's patch, I've found that with my Shield/Energy Tank his Flight animation is broken and the character 'jitters' while moving if he has a Shield out.

Also, as a request can there be a way to keep weapons/accessories on screen permanently with this new walk animation. I've found that if I activate Active Defense just before I turn on Walk, my characters Shield will remain out while walking.

Not sure how much use I'll get out of this new Walk power, but those who were involved did a fantastic job!

I love the walks, the only thing I'd change is to allow jumping with it. I understand not allowing full-on Super Jump, that's not something I'd want. I'm talking base jump height at most, perhaps even less than that, like a small hop.

Walking is freaking awesome, thanks devs! The talsorian thing is really random though, but whatever.

Walk this Way

Or Walk Like and Egyptian?

Walking on the Moon? Or the Sun?
