Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

Even if they are awesome i still have alot choices. I don't want want to watch them dancing infront of screen. Galka is already big enough and block my POV.. and now they dance... i won't see what going on infront of me anymore.

Being a taru is hard work, you are short, you are small and you can't see.

Ever heard of a third-person camera perspective?

In game, that is.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

Even though it should be 100% expected that there won't be AF for the new classes from the start, and that this is done intentionally by SE, people will indeed complain. But that's because those people are only lvling the jobs for their AF so we really shouldn't pay any attention to them.

I won't be taking Dancer past mid-50s or 60s because I want to see how the stats pan out, but I may take Scholar all the way seeing as its probably not going to see many gear differences for mage functions than a RDM would. I can rough it w/o the AF, but I after we know what traits/abilities Dancer gets next week, most sensible players will know what subjobs to push and advocate and hopefully - as with ToA AF - SE will consider the most effective trends being vocalized by players and design the stats for AF around that.

All I can say is THANK GOD SE didn't listen to all the little twits that said /WHM was going to be COR's best sub from the start.

...is the first I've heard of Scholars changing the season at all. I suspect it's being confused with weather changes, the effects of which should be pretty easy to suss out.

There are animations that people are attributing the 'changing' the weather, and then there are much larger, yet similar, animations that in one includes what seem to be autumn leaves.

I'm guessing they're just AoE versions of the single-target weather-changing spells.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

But there's only 4 of them and theyre really suggestive.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

The season changing animations look pretty impressive, however, I'm concerned at their potential impact on performance. While the game is restricted to 30 fps I still find myself hitching on weather conditions, certain bard songs, and scavenge. Especially frustrating considering I run most other games at 70-100 fps with no issues.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

Yeah the most noticable of the season changing is winter (snowflakes), fall (autum leaves) and spring (little flowers growing on the ground) during the scholar animations. I'm curious about the season thing.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

Scholar will be able to -ga single target spells as mentioned. Think bindga, and graviga though, I was told that hastega will not be available.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

Slightly off-topic but not enough so to start a new thread:

I reserved my copy of the expansion and bought a new DVD-ROM drive today. I wasn't going to buy a new drive (some of you may recall I bought ToAU and illegally downloaded it because my drive wouldn't work, but used my legal registration codes -very risky, don't do it) because I thought by the time another expansion came out I'd have bought a new computer ...

Well, that didn't happen, so I'm just gonna stick with upgrading this one. So yeah, I'm really stoked.
