Graphics:Weapon Animation/Appearance

Recommended Posts

I personally hate some of the new weapon looks and animation. I liked the old dragon scimitar picture much better, and the new obby maul attack looks so dumb. I know that I am complaining about pixels, but if I am paying 12 dollars a month for two member accounts, I consider it reasonable to be able to look like the player requested it. I want there to be polls about the graphics updates, so Jagex actually knows what the players want. For instance, the obby maul attack is at the same speed, but the animation itself is slower. When I pk on my pure with it, I switch from another faster attack style to the maul. People can now see it coming, thus making it harder to pk people. Why change the speed for one particular weapon?

What is the point in changing the dragon scimitar picture? It's not like the new one looks any better. I either want every graphic update by public opinion, or it to be personal. (like under the tool icon) Jagex is once again being completely impersonal to their players.

I'm not saying we should change all of the looks, but some of them are relatively pointless. For instance, I like the new ss animation, but hate the obby maul animation.

So through some miraculous event Jagex decides to listen to you and change the weapon animations/appearance back. More people will whine to change it back. Then after Jagex obliges them, some others will whine to do otherwise. Ad infinitum.

 

Jagex is always sitting on a see-saw. They can't please everyone, but as long as they please enough people, it's good enough.

I actually like the new weapon animation and appearance than it was before.

 

Before: Your rune scimitar/longsword looks like a plastic blue rod, and you look like you're bashing with a stick.

After: Your rune scimitar/longsword looks like a REAL sword, and swing like one.

 

Also, function > fashion, although both are important. Would you like a game with awesome looking but crap usefulness weapons?

 

Then again, this is cosmetic so it's purely subjective. Not really rant worthy tbh. If you don't like it, too bad, a ton of others do.

Speaking of weapon graphics, why didn't they do anything to range and magic weaponry?

 

Notice the only stuff updated are melee weapons.

We'll just have to assume that they have future plans for different aspects of Combat, although thinking about the Ranged actions being combat sounds good.

 

In general, I don't think many people can complain about Weapon Animation or Appearance, I mean it's nowhere near perfect, but at least Jagex have tried to improve it for us. :thumbup:

They said they had some issues when they tried to finish up the Animation Pack 2. I personally don't dig on the new look of the short/long swords, but the 2handers and scimitar are better.

have you seen the d2h?

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.
...
It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

In my opinion what has gotten

 

WORST: Dragon 2H , zamorak godsword spec, all scimitars and longswords

 

BETTER: All the rest of the 2H swords, Abyssal whip, all other special attacks

 

so they did most of em better but i loved the old d scimmy... this one looks like a plastic pirate thing

I hate almost all of the new weapon styles.

 

Like: All scimtars and two handers.

Hate: All longswords, shortswords, silver/darklight, whip.

 

I like the animation, though.

You have to take off everything except your gloves and boots. WTF JAGEX? :thumbdown:

Don't forget about the ring, you can keep that one to :)

And your necklace. :grin:

And quiver! This is fun :P!

Only thing i hate is the new d2h`s hilt. It used to look different from other 2h`s. Now it`s just all the same.

Wait... You're telling me you prefered the silverlight/darklight looking like a thin twig, rather than actually looking like a demon slaying sword?

I stab something with an ice covered sword and it explodes in a bunch of ice shards? That's just badass.

Otherwise agreed mostly. D2H was awesome before the change, as was dscim.

Everything else was a major improvement to the play dough scimitars and stick longswords.

I liked it better before as well. The new weapons look like plastic toys. I think the only weapon that was improved is Dharok's greataxe.

I actually thought the NEW weapons look better, and that the OLD ones are the ones that look like plastic toys to me. Lol.

There's two things that bother me, one more than the other:

 

I hate the way we hold scimitars now. I liked it when our arms were more relaxed. They look really... stupid.

 

I don't like that we stand pigeon-toed when holding a 2h sword.
