Idle animations

Two-handed sword idle animation by Chris Myers.

Idle animations (non-combat idle stances) will be selectible by players in the character creator.

Part of the feedback that we got from the tank demonstration when we were holding that two-handed sword was that people would like to see variants of the types of non-combat idle stances that can be had with certain weapons; and so we decided to introduce a variant of that with having the [sword] rest on the on the shoulder; and that is something that we'll be exploring further to see just how much runway we can get out of custom and/or selective idle stances. – Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 work-in-progress combat animations and decals.

The intensity of those weapon trailings; how they scale based on the type of weapon, the level of weapon, that you have; but not just the trailing on the weapon per-se but also the ground decals. Like for this heavy weapon, that first strike you see that decal in the ground is- I love that look- and even on the backswing when I hit the ground behind me, it's causing that decal. – Steven Sharif

• 戰鬥 is animation-driven to ensure it is impactful and responsive.
  • Basic attack animations are triggered by the weapon combo system based on weapon type.
  • Skill animations are (generally) not impacted by the type of weapon equipped.

We really wanted to build the combat system to- like i said earlier- be as physical as possible. So we have it very animation driven. Everything is handled based on a reference of animation as opposed to nebulous timings, which allows it to feel very impactful and very responsive. – Keenan Reimer

• 種族 will not have unique combat animations, but will have unique non-combat animations.

We're not going to be having I think unique combat animations. However we will have unique non-combat animations, such as your idle, your walk, your run cycle: things that the combat attacks do not have to blend back into. – Steven Sharif

Social animations

Alpha-2 cheer animation.

Pre-alpha social animations.

There are interactive social animations and emotes.

• Sitting.
• Leaning.
• Bowing.

Some animations will be agreed-upon emotes that you can initiate with other characters.

• Dancing.
• Hugging.

Q: Can we dance on tables?

A: Technically the tables are in world, so yes... – Steven Sharif

There may be emotes associated with mounts and pets, such as petting, hugging, or playing with them.

In alpha one you might have seen some of the anims on the rider of a horse that they went down and patted the side of the neck, or they would pet those; but those would be separate actions that you could potentially do as just additional emotes, but interfaces with a mount or pet that you have active. – Steven Sharif

Gear appearance priority

Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.

• Only one item can show at a time, and that is determined by player choice.

• Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will automatically swap in and out as required by the skill.
  • Players may toggle back and forth between using their ranged and melee slot for basic weapon attacks.

• 武器 are able to be sheathed.

• Idle animations will be selectible by players in the character creator.
