Guild Wars 2

Kidel.2057:

you could add butterflies to Mesmer, but why? They don’t help you dodge.

What if these butterflies could make mesmer to fly on a dodge?

Tried it out and looks awesome. It won’t be out in time for the next beta weekend, but know that it’ll be coming.

Wow.

It took you two days to implement a flavor animation while working on the rest of the class and reading the forum. If every developer had that kind of drive, the game would be flawless by this point.

This might be a little more balance related, but while you’re testing out cool dodge animations, would you mind turning Deathblossom into a Whirlwind Attack style skill shot?

Death Blossom is a Thief skill, this is Revenant subforum.

Added a cool thief-y animation to Revenant dodges. Did an awesome job staying true to Shiro (assassin) flavor. Added an evade to Unrelenting Assault (which it needed). Thought I would give it a shot.

Mist-y/Shadow-y: Awesome responsiveness none the less.

(Burst failed…. SB 5’s back to thief forum)

Kidel.2057:

Engi, Mesmer and Ranger have no real graphical effects to apply to a dodge. I mean, you could add butterflies to Mesmer, but why? They don’t help you dodge.

Mesmer i think a pink/purple blur would be thematically appropriate. I mean, the whole point is to evade, their powers are all about distorting perceptions, so it would make sense for them to do some kind of illusory thing to help improve their dodge effectiveness.
TBT, i thought they already had a visual cue, though. maybe it’s just a unique sound, like thief

I don’t think it really has to be thematically appropriate. I think adding profession-specific tells to dodge animations would make it easier (particularly for players with low res or small screens) to see when a player is dodging. It wouldn’t have to be anything too elaborate, but some sort of extra audio/visual cue that would inform you that the enemy is currently evading could go a long way IMO.

You mean like a dodge roll animation? I’m just givin’ you a hard time, don’t mind me.

Yay, I like thief for similar extra bit of flavor… nice to see revenant getting it too. Also, from this message are we to assume the next BWE will be soon™, maybe next week to coincide with PAX reveals?

Can’t wait to see this in action (eventually). Cool suggestion, Kai.

I’m kinda curious if this is still in development ‘cause it’d be a cool feature to have. If it isn’t, I won’t mind ’cause I know you guys have lots of balancing work for the revenant to do, especially after BWE2, and you are doing a great job at that.

roy stated somewhere else that next BWE there are coming many tweaks to the skills, a missing hand glow on ventari and the dodge animation ;-)
2-3 weeks from now i guess!

Hmm, maybe I should check the forum a bit more after all ’cause I missed that obviously. Thx for the info.

Here’s the link to the confirmation of it:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/revenant/BWE2-Still-No-hand-aura-on-Ventari-stance/first#post5482024

I missed the news that this was going to be added in, but I must say, this is a fantastic idea and I am so happy that it’s going to be implemented. Makes the wait to play my new main all the more unbearable!

Yup! We’ll be making posts soon™ talking about changes that came out of BWE2 feedback and internal testing for all the elite specializations in the last beta. This will include the dodge FX on revenant which you’ll get to see in BWE3.

Roy for president!

Roy is quickly becoming my favorite Dev.

I love how he Trademarked that. I personally want to see that changes sometime today, but I can live with tomorrow.

Roy Cronacher.1576:

soon™

And then I forgot to read all of the other words.

Roy, A+ on the dodge roll anims! I especially love how the mist effect follows you after you finish!

I like the dodge effect as well

I did not notice it earlier… went in to look now… and, wow, that is awesome! Thanks!

Kinda looks odd on Char. All I see is mist trail after dodge, but again its just “Fluff” so its not game breaking. Will not notice it at all after a couple of days.
