Not everyone plays for "content" or even defines "content" the same way. And I don't think there are any animations that could be added that would qualify as content anyway. So if animators (BABs) have free time and are fooling around, they can either do things like this, make new emotes or alternate attacks for power customization (which aren't content), or twiddle their thumbs. Which do you prefer?

But truth to be told and insanity aside, I feel slightly guilty now for dragging that "content" thing there. Bit like being caught playing with a zippo, it's never a good idea.
Maybe I'm just having too much fun with this feature, despite the fact I'm not going to use it when it hits the live servers.

It's a heck of a lot easier to use than the fly poses

I sound opposed to it, but I'm really not, it's just interesting to me whenever my reaction to something is a shrug and everyone else seems to think it's incredible. If and when they add Staff Scrappers and I'm hopping all around squeeing, I'll be sympathetic to those who express their indifference, but that's all I can promise.

Well, I just meant to say that it's sort of an unrealistic choice to make, and I'm glad we got a response on it AT ALL. I gotta' tell ya', that Walk toggle blindsided me me like a moon hitting me in the back of the head out of nowhere. I could have bet money, bet my head that we'd never get such a thing in this game, not in a million years. So, yeah, it's slow and it's very restrictive, but HEY! It's WALKING, and given the alternative - never ever ever - anything at all is still better than that |

I just need to figure out what to bind it to so it's easy to access. I'm thinking Ctrl+V.

Also me and my friend were trying test earlier today and he did the walk animation while he had his weapon pulled out. The way he waved the weapon around while walking was, again, very amusing.
I don't know if this whole walking thing is suppose to be menacing/cool/epic or something, but it just looks goofy to me, to say the least.

Best thing ever for Villains. Slap "Stayin' Alive", by the beegees, on and walk down the main casino strip in St.Martial
Oh, but avoid the bus-stop signs. Never noticed until I started walking but you can bang your head on the them, they're too low down for a normal person height.

OMG OMG OMG ! ! !
We're getting a patch tomorrow. Presumably, it will give us walking.

Doesn't seem likely. BABs commented that they're going to allow jumping while walking in the next patch. Leads me to believe they'll want to test it. Plus they still have to fix the global slow reducing walk speed. My guess is we'll get walking on live next Tuesday at the earliest.|

They could always surprise us and throw it live tomorrow though, and fix bugs and add jumping later.

I only just now tried out Walk on the test server.
BaBs, I salute you. Men walk like men, huge guys walk with bulk, and women actually manage to sway their hips with sass.
It's kinda bittersweet though. Every time you stop walking, you do the regular idle animation; repeating the Green Cross Code and crossing your arms. I'd dearly like a new idle animation, but as every other transition in the game takes cues from it, I imagine that's probably the most impractical and irrelevant suggestion ever made.
Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider
Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.

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?
