Possibly new combat animations?

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Possibly new combat animations?

Post by Vylarah »

I've played around on a few different servers outside of my time on arelith, and I've noticed that some of them have the ability to change the combat style of animations with a menu command, which makes your character attack, or idle differently with certain weapons in hand, would it be possible to get something like this for arelith, so there is some more variance with how combat looks, as opposed to all of the default animations?

I totally understand if it's not possible though, given how large of a server it is, and how much extra traffic that might cause though, but thank you for reading this suggestion all the same!

Hello, after some testing, I believe we can allow you to change to custom animations but one big problem is the robes, we have tons of custom robes from different creators and 3D Artists. Some parts of the robes wouldn't work well with the custom animations.

Going to have this moved to rejected, with a comment on it. Animations for combat will be added as needed, such as if a new weapon comes out or a certain type of animation is required to match a type of combat state.
