Title: Duck!
Post by: Rumblood on March 29, 2012, 05:37:23 pm
Add a new hotkey for people to duck. Use the xbow reload animation. I don't think it will unbalance anything. But people can try to duck those incoming lances or arrows or mace to the face from shielders. Since you would be stuck ducking for as long as the animation lasts (so speed it up!), those classes can always just aim low.

I think there is an animation in mount and musket that would be more suited for this, the xbow reload animation without an xbow will look realy strange

But yea i generaly like this idea

Does this mean I can play without pants? Would much better reflect my IRL person.

I'd prefer a Crouch feature over ducking.

As long as the animation looks good then i'm all for it.

Might be good to look into this.

aw man, I though this was going to be about adding war ducks :(

Fuck you old man, fuck you! Get my hopes up for this poo! This is an outrage!

Moments later, in a land much like the one I was in when I typed the previous message.

Jesus, FUCKING!, christ! You brave, sexy man you! All we need now is those god damned Kilts and this... Now what to call my clan... Full Moon on the Loch (FML) or the Jackobites... or the fruit bowl kings. God, too many choices, TOO MANY!

I can't in good conscience vote against BACON but this is a pretty cool idea, it would be nice if you could hold down the key as well, to maintain a ducking stance.  Releasing the key would begin the latter half of the animation.

It's funny how this has been suggested for 10+ times on here. Still hasn't been added or commented(?) by the devs. I'm all for this, what downsides does it even have?

Largg the reason its never been taken up before is because it was just crouching, so really who gives a fuck about crouching.

But mooning your enemy? Its obviously needed, and right bloody now!

It would be really nice if we had even more character animations in Warband.

What animations? We already have pretty much every animation we need. Ducking? Yeah, well. But I really doubt they well implement a new combat mechanic. And for not-really-useful ducking we can always have that old animation that originates from western mod iirc

Exactly Dexx. The reason I suggested the Xbow reload is because the animation is already in-game (though not sure if not having a xbow would jack it up). Mainly it would just need a new hotkey that fires that animation (speeded up of course, arbalest duck would be a "kill me now!" button  :lol: )

it would be cool, a fast ducking/crouching animation to dodge or take cover or diferent strategies.

The xbow reload animation? Ahahaha that would be hilarious. Now we just need crowns and I can become king and let all my subjects bow for me.

I ducked a swing as a reload a crossbow once.
Had a heart attack when I realized it happened.
