Curse

I noticed that the spellcasting animation for the Assassin has been changed.

It did before look rather like the Assassin was punching at the ground.... striking down a smoke-bomb or something. It was kinda cool.

Now he crouches and it looks like he is tying his shoe-laces... Definitely NOT cool.

What gives?

Are there any other animation changes that anyone is aware of?

Maybe they accidentally swapped the Ranger's prep/trap animation and put it on the assassin? *cant check right now*

Some 1/4 casts on my monk have changed. When I cast Healer's Boon he performed the animation as if it was a 2 second cast, but because it's a 1/4 second cast it looks like he's hopped up on caffeine.

Searing Flames, Sandstorm, and Savannah Heat have changed too. Now tha animation is like i'm casting an ench on myself. I think this is a bug though.

Ye, same for the monk. When i am casting word of healing, it seems I am casting a party heal, like lod/heal party, or an enchantment, but the animation of orison of healing and other healing spells are just normal.

Probably a bug, yes.

Every elementalist elite have their animation bugged, maybe some of the other classes too

Brianna · Apr 06, 2007, 02:31 PM // 14:31

Errr.. yeah.. Mind blast does the insta/enchantcast thing to, which is really disturbing actually, I'm just hoping this is a bug I'm sure that it is.

prism2525 · Apr 06, 2007, 02:52 PM // 14:52

Searing Flames

The Necro spell FOC also shows the self-targetted animation. It's very annoying. I never realized how much I depend on the animations to tell me what I cast (e.g. if my fingers slipped or something) until this bug.

Star Alfur · Apr 06, 2007, 04:44 PM // 16:44

Spiteful Spirit also has this "self-cast" animation ... I'm finding it to be very annoying and makes me think I've hit the wrong skill. >_<

Erik Fox · Apr 06, 2007, 04:47 PM // 16:47

I thought the skill changes were just mix-ups of the different skill emotes.....After Order of the Vampire you /clap .... ergh!

lucifer_uk · Apr 06, 2007, 04:48 PM // 16:48

No problems with ranger animations that i could find.

I think the prob is only with spells... mainly ELITE spells.

Mr Toraan · Apr 06, 2007, 05:11 PM // 17:11

ZB looks like I'm casting it on myself as well

Sir Skullcrasher · Apr 06, 2007, 05:56 PM // 17:56

I haven't checked yet, will do tonight and see what animation got changed!

WarKaster · Apr 06, 2007, 06:01 PM // 18:01

no offense to anyone but does the animation really matter so long as the skill does what it should?

Rogue Dragon · Apr 06, 2007, 06:03 PM // 18:03

Ya the OoV animation is stupid. (Yay, im gona clap after i cast i skill because i did it so well) Change it back and leave it be. There was no need for changes. Hopefuly this update is a late april fools joke. (cept for the storage thats nice)

Well, it can. How silly would it look to cast a spell and you do the /cheer animation for it?
