I somehow miss the old shadow animations.

Hello! :)

Just logged on my Fire-Staff shadow and noticed he holds the staff in a different way now.
I somehow liked the old way he had it in his hands. Made him somehow outstanding in groups and it was also a reason i didn't change to dual wands yet. :) It just had style in my opinion.

I think the unarmed fighting animation also changed. I'm really not sure about that point though but i think the shadow had around 2 different punch-animations. At least he looked more agile while fighting with fists before. Please correct me if i am wrong.

I didn't login that often the past days so i could be wrong with these observations.

This is just my feedback and honest opinion about these changes which do not change the gameplay in a drastic way of course.

What's your opinion? :)

Have a great time!

yeah. GGG needs to fire the guy who's responsible for character animations.... only marauder animation looks good.

I don't mean they look bad in any way. I just think the old animations fit the shadow more. :)

:((((((((((((( i want it back like it was...loved the way he holded his staff my shadow....WHY :()???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Old shadow idle animation will be sorely missed by me as well. The new attacks animations using both sides fucking rock though.

I made a thread for this.

The "Double Strike" animation is also changed to a much more basic one :(

Not to be cynical or rude, but I bet it will come back with a price tag. If that's the case, fair enough? I will still continue to only buy tabs, not animations. Maybe that will change.

The dual strike changes look pretty okay to me however.

Hard to say if it's simply a familiarity thing, but having used Double Strike as my main attack on a Staff Shadow a bunch really recently, I think it's a step down.

In fact, it's what drew me to the character initially, and I'm certainly a little bit less enthusiastic about it now. Can't please everyone, tho :)

im very angry they changed my 2h sword shadow animations and stances.. why this?

CHANGE IT BACK

why changem y character it doesnt feel like my character anymore...
