I am soooooo thrilled that you guys are already starting with new flourishes!! This has been one biggest disappointment about dancing so far. I can't wait to see what they look like.

I love you Q, do you know that? I need to go over my letter now and see what/ if any changes I need to make.

::does the happy dance:: We're getting somewhere already and I haven't even sent in my first letter!

Q-3PO,

I really thank you for working these issues, but could you please address the animation problems with formal while your at it?

I have bugged this in game, it seems that while not doing a flourish, the client sees the animation correctly, the hop spin on one foot animation. However spectators do not see this at all. All they see is the dancer sliding jerkily from side to side on the floor. No turns no hops, just sliding back and forth. There is something wrong with the way its being viewed by spectators, Like i said the client see's it properly, spectators do not.

This has been messed up since day one, i have bugged it several times and it seems that if your going to take the time to "add" flourishes, then you also need to fix a bug with the animations while your at it. Formal dance could be really nice, but with this sliding jerky thing its really just sloppy looking

Thanks,

Syl

I am very thankful that the devs think on the minorities too.

I feard all the time we willstay forgotten til the bigger groups of customors are fixed.

Thanks alot /blowkiss

This is a good start!

However Exotic4 only has TWO unique flourishes...that's a tad light isn't it?

How about new end flourishes for Formal? The first couple look great, but the last are jerky repeats that don't flow right. Love the upgrades though, can't wait for the mission terminals. Thanks.

I thought that the last two flo's for Formal were the same too, but watch them carefully they are not exactly the same, one starts with the right hand, one with the left. Same flourish but when you do the back bend you switch hands depending on which one.

Thank you, Q, for all the Love the dancers are going to get.

I don't think I'm unusual in this, however, when I ask SOE to consider NOT investing the resources and time into doing anything with Poplock2. Seriously. Everyone I've danced with since release hates this dance and has left it off their hotkeys the moment they got Lyrical. And virtually every Master dance I perform with will either use Exotic 1-4, Lyrical, or Popular2. That's it. Period.

In view of the fact that Poplock is under-used (and much despised), and the fact that Exotic only really has TWO flourishes, why not use the added Poplock flourishes for new Exotic flourishes instead?
