Thread: New Poplock Flourishes = Disappointment
LoL Yajedi, you basically hit what I am planning to say dead on. ![]()
#1 issue (for next report, thats of course if they ever post the response like they promised they would days ago)
- Flourishes that are actually usable would be nice!
These new flourishes are so ugly and poorly put together that I don't know a single dancer that is willing to use them. I know we are asking for more flourishes, and would like more added still to our other dances... but honestly, if they're going to look this bad we don't want them! Not only did we not receive flourishes we can use with this update, but we lost the generic ones with those dances which sadly enough look better. ![]()
Possible Fix
Get rid of these god awful flourishes and either give us ones that we're done well, or just don't give us any at all and let us know thats going to be the case.
Does that sound about right to most of you? ![]()
Thats exactly what needs to be said Ravenmist.
We are all behind you and willing to go to bat.
And frankly i think the reason you havent received a response from the dev's like promised is that they KNOW that flourishes look like crap and don't know what to say. They are trying to figure out how to word it so they don't actually say anything.
Really imo i don't know how these animations got passed QA internally. Did anyone actually look at these?
Its apparent they didnt. If us dancers out here can TELL that they look like crap why can't the person in charge of creating and testing them not tell that they look like crap. I thought these guys were supposed to be some of the best in the business.
Just doesn't make any sense to me.
Also another thing that needs to be addressed thats been around since day one is the fact that Formal and lyrical dance moves only are seen right by the client, but those watching see nothing but sliding back and forth they only see the flourishes. This needs to be fixed.
I have also noticed this "Sliding" action on Rhythmic2 while dancing in a circle watching others.
As i said though it looks the way its supposed to on your end but something is wrong with the way others see it.

I don't always see others looking bad in formal and lyrical..
What I do notice is there is a "range" at which point the playback rate of character animations is reduced, to save processing power I assume. If someone is outside this range, thats when you see the strange sliding in formal and lyrical. Unfortunately that means anyone not standing there with the dancer sees it.
