Title: Polearm sprint animation for Great Swords
Post by: Angantyr on June 29, 2012, 02:16:44 pm
Perhaps give Great Swords the half-sword idle animation when running or going into a sprint? Unless of course this will cause too much of a delay when automatically switching back and forth between the modes when fighting..

The Native way of running with big two-handers have always been way off and cartoony, and historically the half-sword grip was how you ran with great swords which is the only realistic way to move rapidly with a long blade if you don't want to cut yourself in half.

I fail to see why, this will only add some style and plausibility to the dashing 2hander.

+80 stab is too much for any animation.  The 1h's +60 is too much as well. The only reason they remain is that stabs are generally terrible after extended over half way, and you don't really notice the animation length on 1h's because after you get about half way through the thrust you're only going to glance on your target.

You sir, know nothing. Just give it up  :wink:

U backpedal until the enemy reaches u and then u do the spam,I dont say that u arent a good player I would be dumb if I`d say so,but that doesnt mean that u dont actually hug spam :)

I do that, but the suggestion was of course meant in a general sense  :P

Yeah the polearm grip definitely looks cooler.  Flamberge should definitely have it even if greatswords don't.


PS im a 2h cav hero.

Ya, at the very least the flamberge needs this. It just looks so odd seeing players run around with a massive flamberge, holding it with their hands right on top of one another.  :lol:

When I am playing on a polearm character, I feel like my character is about to start sweeping the floor with his broom at any second.  Greatswords make me feel like Sephiroth.  No thanks.

honoured to be mentioned there Panos, but sorry I don't even know how to lolstab properly. Also I get most of my kills through backstabbing and only attacking outnumbered opponents...
