Petition - bring back the old animations.
by Murph | 15/07/2008 14:19:09 I'm very happy with how warrior plays these days, but there is one thing that I would like to see reverted back to the old ways. I'm talking about the old death wish, blood rage, berserker rage and whirlwind. Not how these abilities work, it has nothing to do with nerfing/buffing them, but rather how they look. The old berserker rage, blood rage and death wish used the same animation as the current /roar emote, and I think it felt a lot more "angry" (Just like a warrior should be!). Watching Laintime (old school korea pvp player, don't know if he's still around) pop berserker rage made me go undead warrior. Why was it removed? I can't believe anyone was unhappy with it. The only reason I can come up with is that back then the animation was a bit buggy - sometimes it looked like it currently does - hardly a reason to permanently bug it though! Whirlwind almost never gets a decent animation these days. While moving, the character rarely even starts spinning. Only that red whirl thing (which is kind of cool!). Back in the days, a whirl could consist of 2-3 spins, that looked awesome, and it actually felt like you where whirling, now it's just "press a button - deal damage to some mobs/players around you". Nothing aesthetic about it. For reference, if you weren't around to see these animations, check out the following videos: Laintime - just check the blood rage at 0:05! Wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb6yzXA7DhA Maydie - crazy whirlwind at 1:20. Wow again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emu7P1yGg0k Signed Murph - 70 warrior on Vashj Beaver - 40 warrior on Blade's edge Clarence - 40 warrior on Stormscale |
