Guild Wars 2

Just watching the stream, and apparently they changed the autoattack #3’s ’’spin’’ to something that looks much, much, much, much better.

Thanks so much for taking care of this little thing that looked really silly imo, it’s way awesome now.

Fast foward to 43:10

YES! I saw <3 Lookin’ Darth Maul as hell

Now they just need the monkey king’s idle stance

…and the Lotus Training Jellyfish animation (fix).

Um…
Is but-cape-less armor really in game?

Well, this certainly is a pleasant surprise.

Looks really cool actually.

I can get behind this…

without using F1.

seriously though, that’s a small change, but it’s a big improvement.

Hot kitten Karl, you’re the man! Props to whoever else worked on the animation!

ZOMG

1000.times {+1}

When I saw this I literally went “HOOOOOOOOLLLY kittenttt”

For real tho. It also looks like they changed the first strike slightly, though maybe that’s due to the character being norn? Or maybe she isn’t idk long day.

But yay

That’s definitely a Human Female in the twitch vod

Norn usually copy Human. The Norn in the video definitely had a new animation on the first and second as well as the third skill.

Dam i wish they made a staff for melee>< I mean its okay but it just doesn’t feel like a melee staff. Much disappoint

Actually…both 2nd and 3rd animations were changed.

Happy with the changes I saw (animation-wise…not the legendary staff), but, staff will still need work compared to what it was in BWE3 if it wants to compete with S/X, D/X, and SB.

I was super happy to see the new staff AA animation~ the old combo animation made no sense.

Looks like new armor. Can’t get too excited yet though cuz it might have a butt-cape on male version.

False. That thief armour is already in the game. The chest piece was Krytan Jerkin, and the pants were Duelist Pants.

Yeah, so much difference between male and female that it can’t be recognized. It’s sad.

I must admit, these kinds of changes are making me a bit enthusiastic again.
We are finally starting to get the attention we have needed for so long, and it is excellent.

At the rate things are going, we will be on par with the other classes in a month or two, and all will be well.

YES! Thank you, thank you so much! I was expecting that to be changed months after launch but it’s fixed even before! Yessssssssssssss!

Please link me to the video where I can see this. I cannot find it anywhere and your twitch link is expired for me. I cannot view it there.

Just saw it on woodenpotatoes video skip to 8:24 , it also shows it a couple of times before that as well.

now fix revenant’s staff melee animation

Well, hopefully this new animation will replace every staff animation where the character gestures forward and the staff twirls like a propeller in front of him.

now pls change the idle/walking staff animation – from hammer to an actually bo staff.

That is amazing!! So happy they listened to the animation feedback.

Aaaaaand now the Daredevil is finally set !

This looks great.
It looks MUCH better now. The previous spin animation made no sense on Daredevil.

Oh and I don’t know about you guys,….. But that new raven staff belongs to my norm thief

The new animation is REALLY good! Can’t wait for a Nevermore!

I think the Daredevil is finally ready.

Rich Fuel.7253:

now fix revenant’s staff melee animation

Plz don’t. It’s fine the way it is. I want at least one class to use spinny animations.

I honestly did not expect them to be able to pull off these changes in such a short period of time. Whoever was responsible for this, well done!

The new animations look absolutely fantastic.

Yea it actually fits revenant. Maybe with just a little tweak on the Charr, but no need to change it completely.

^this. the problem was not that the animation was bad, but that it was more suited to a magic-based profession, which the revenant is.

after all the great buffs post bwe3 we now even get a awesome change to AA animation. Brilliant, this settles it, my favourite specialisation, im doing HoT on daredevil first

Well done Karl or whoever animated it! Seriously this new animation is great.

This is fantastic. Much more fitting than the old animation. If dust strike gets a field and vault gets 900 range DD will be the perfect elite spec.

I thought the Rev one was fine from what I recall. He at least spun it more horizontally so that the staff end actually hit the enemy. No ones gonna try to hit someone with a full vertical fan spin like the Thief one IRL, you mine as well just punch them at that point.

OMG YES

YESSSSSSS

The new animation looks great!!!! I’m so glad! Now I can play the DD and feel like a total BAMF

I am soo happy to see this! AlthougH I am still praying that we will see new weakening charge animations, dust strike animations, and debilitating arch animations. Don’t get me wrong I am greatful for auto chain change, but those other animations should compliment the epic ness of that skill as well.

Very much agreed. That third hit looks sweet! Hopefully we’ll see that level of polish in the other animations as well, namely Weakening Charge, Debilitating Arc, and Vault in my opinion.

But very awesome job to the animation team or individual who took the time and care to make this for us! It’s stuff like this that reinforces my faith in Anet!
