As I read in one of TH's posts, they were doing new animations for weapons and specials....
Hopefully, they will code in a better graphic/animation for something that is on fire...

Well...we all would prolly, but think about this:
New fire DoT animations or letting the devs focus their attention on more important issues like making the Flamethrower, to softly put it, not suck?
Or...if they would consider doing this Post-CURB, and the underslung carbine suppousedly does not have any animations to call it's own atm. Which do you want the devs working on? Afterall...we all want commandos to get that carbine...
Id choose both option "B"s at this point in time... tho, it would be an awesome sight to see...especially at night, if the devs coded this in...

If it takes an extra week to code in a better flame animation, so be it.
Its probably a completely different set ofcoders anyway.

But that week could be better spent on making commandos kickass in the CURB, or readying the underslung carbine
The devs have a whole lot to worry about, getting stuff that can make the most amount of people happy is definately key...as well as pushing stuff that helps us and is the most useful The cool little things burn animations should be added after the revamps...we want to get fixed first...

You are somewhat missing my point. Most likely it is something that would be coded by a different department (i.e. art). And if getting better animations cause a week delay, big deal. We are over a year overdue anyway.

art is the department that is in charge of the animations for the underslung carbine. That would make a lot of commandoes happy. not me, I want either an E-web, or a launcher RIFLE. Thing a launcher pistol is bad for lag? you ainst seen nothing yet baby!

No...Im just saying I know what the devs may do. If they they decide to put in burn animations (and cause a week delay), they may give us the "we already paid some attention to you, and thus are moving onto other things" and then get the damned backburner for another year...
Ya never know, but I don't ever recalling the devs delaying something for Commandos to add something new in AND the other issues at hand(and not backburnering the issue)...

For me the Devs need to do more than just balance things. Heck it shouldn't take that long to balnce numbers or create a new system. I mean they've been doing this since August. I want to see more than just numbers work. I want to see my prey burn! >
I want to see my explosions. I want to see my character get smacked or shot and vice versa. I want to see people's blocks and dodges. Hopefully they are adding that thing they had in Testcenter once with the terrain no longer being shoot through and stability in-game improved greatly.
One of my biggest issues seems to be the developing lag with each publish. I'm having a hard time even going a large number of NPCs without me going in to a screen show.

Its almost like the loading time for Sims 1...soo many expansions, the game got slower and slower....lol
Anyways, what we see from the CURB now is perhaps been in development for almost a year...remember when they had a pre-CURB HAM changes on TC for a bit? So Id say the devs had a huge chunk of time to work on this...and still, there are many many other things left to be desired.

Yeah, but we can always just revert to the excuse the BH's use the burn animation too (Fire KD), and thus it's not enough attention to us, and certainly isn't unique.
