Override Animation Powers


Cayenne

With the [Beast Run] power coming, and the [Ninja Run] power already here, I was thinking; wouldn't it be great if they had these great animations separate from any power effects, but allow the animations to work no matter the power being use, such as super speed or whatever.

So I purpose this none PvP functioning powers.

[Ninja Sprint]
and [Beast Sprint]

These two powers would override all other run animations, but grant zero bonus at all, not even the semi-suggested sprint effect. Similar powers could be created for future clone movement powers. They would not be able to be slotted with any enhancements. Also this will keep the devs from having to build a new run animation selection section somewhere else in the game.

So who is with me?

I think this is a great idea!

It might look a bit strange though, like you were running in slow motion; since the animations were made for faster movement.

Not necessarily, it could make it look like they are getting more out of their movement; especially with the ninja run as you seem to really beet your feet down quite repeatedly. Hard to say without seeing it for ourselves. However maybe adding an up in speed of the animation for super run would be nice, but wouldn't be all that tough at all really.

Correct that is the idea.

heh.. I'd actually prefer the opposite. I'd like to override Ninja Run's animations with the default Run/Jump animations. I love the Utility/Stats of Ninja Run (and that it doesn't require a power pick), but I HATE its running animation (the jumping is more tolerable so I pretty much jump everywhere when using it)

There is a petition for an athletic run you would probably like. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, 'preciate it Sadly, based on the number of signess so far, it seems apathy rules where an alternate to Ninja Run's animation is concerned. I imagine most players would like there to be an alternative, they just 1) want other things much more, and 2) don't think these petition threads do any good.

With those all things "X" threads in the City Life forum it makes you wonder if they really look at these at all.
