Guild Wars 2

This animation looks terrible…not the effects of throwing daggers but the Jesus pose the thief does while in DS.

What I suggest is changing the animation to Death Blossom’s mid air spin.

I dont see how that would work for the amount of time the skill is in use, would the thief flop around on the ground like a fish?

Hahaha that made me laugh (ouch I had surgery it hurtssssss), they’d be vertical while spinning., not horizontal.

so instead of spinning like a cross, you want them floating in midair, upside down, on the same cross pose, for 10 seconds?

yeah, that doesn’t sound ridiculous at all.

Yes, they’ll clearly be upside down because that makes complete sense…
You must be trolling because there’s no way anyone is dumb enough to muck this up…

you asked for the death blossom animation. look at death blossom. your character stretches his/her arms wide, like a cross, then leaps while doing a front flip and spinning.

the entirety of the animation has your character upside down, spinning. here, look at it:

Yes now apply that to Dagger Storm. It makes no sense they’d be twirling upside down…absolutely no sense, however the spinning and blurring with the thief in that animation would work quite well.

I didn’t think I’d need to clarify something that basic…

well you do. because you say you want death blossom, but you don’t want it upside down.

the result of a not-upside-down death blossom is the animation we have right now.

you’re asking for something we already have.

…okay, you should reread what I’ve typed. You’re clearly missing out on some basic information which has already been typed. Have a nice day.

here, a quote from you.

you don’t want this:

(this is beta, before they added all the blurs and slashes and all that crap)

but you want this:

except instead of upside down, you stay on the ground.

what is the difference?

i don’t know what you see, but from where i’m standing, the death blossom animation is an upside down version of the dagger storm animation.

for the 1st link: there’s a spinning animation, that’s a improvement.

for the second link there’s blurring which helps disguise the animation as not actually being fluid.

So we take the positioning of the 1st link (if you think about it for even half a second this is logical) and use the effects of the 2nd link we get the suggested idea.

but… those effects are already on the final version. in fact dagger storm hides your thief much better than death blossom.

actually, i’m heading in-game and taking a screenshot.

Good for you, I was just in game looking at it, you’ll notice the effects for shadow step being used in DB to disguise the animation of DB.

i don’t know how to attach more than a single image, so it’ll have to be on two posts.

death blossom

and now dagger storm. the picture really doesn’t do a good job of showing just how many of these “black slashes” there are around you while you spin.
