Guild Wars 2

Everything that was announced is just amazing, but…

We’ve seen that Rytlock animations were slightly different than charr animations in game, so my question is:

Can you give us (charrs) ability to change those animations like walking or standing to be more upright more badas* you know ;D, running only on our feets (similar to charr NPC anim) instead of like an animal?

Something like that could be applied to all races through the character creation or total makeover kit, you are just choosing posture of your character and by this i mean set of animations.

Sorry for any language or grammar errors, english isn’t my native language ;p

Haha, I knew that was coming! Sorry I’m not making fun of your suggestion but as soon as I saw Rytlock standing taller than usual for a Charr I knew this was going to be asked.

I’m the other way around though, I wish all Charr PC and NPCs ran on all fours but to each their own.

I prefer when Charr run on all fours. It makes them feel more unique and helps them stand out from all the other Humans-with-weird-skin-problems that is every playable race in every other MMO.

But you can already control it by having your weapon drawn or sheathed.

It’s just too cool to be hold only for 1 character

But as I said before I do not want to replace those anim, just let us choice between new(?) and old to please those who like them and those who don’t.

If you toggle walk or draw your weapons you’ll be moving on only 2 legs

I think this would be a neat novelty for Charr characters, but I don’t see how this could be applied to the other races. An Asura running on all fours would be a rather humorous sight.

Well I had not thought about that in this way but for human races it could be something like, you want to make new necro so you will choose hunched posture intead of default to look darker or like your character is old etc.

While posture changes would be nice, I didn’t notice anything special with Rytlock. He was WALKING on two legs, not running, and you can do that already in the game.

Yea but you need to be in combat or run with drawn weapon which is little silly :P but yes his animations are slightly different than in game charr anim.

Neither is necessary. You can choose a button in the controls which toggles walk/run.

I know that thanks what I want to point all the time is that Rytlock has better animations than other charrs so I asked about completely new set of them just to have more customization options for our characters and how this could be applied to not hurt those who like current animations and for other races I explained in first post.

It’s not something super important for the game but since my main is charr I felt obligated to ask about that

my preciousssssss the bookahzes stole it!

Well I will not let this thread die so easily I just found old trailer for GW2 and what I really wanna see in game are charrs like this one, standing upright proud bla bla bla better for me.

And the expac is a nice time to give us more options to customize our characters not only in terms of how they works (specializations and stuff) but also how they looks

but they’re the same animations. there’s a “walk/run” button that isn’t mapped, if you map it, you’ll walk exactly like rytlock, all the time (you’ll also walk as slow as you would if you were chilled, like rytlock in the trailer).

I like the 4 legged run. I just with they weren’t all wearing skirts. It worries me. I keep expecting them to get tangled up in all that cloth hanging down in front of their legs and take an inglorious nose dive when running up to do battle.
