Dancer Archive

I just saw this post on the force.net ! seems like there is alot of motion capture work being filmed for a big update! Enjoy

We received an email about some recent work by LucasArts and Sony for Galaxies.

They are upgrading the game with a lot of new features for various professions - swordsman/Jedi, dancers, acrobats, etc... They had dancers and jugglers in the motion capture studio from around the country. They suited them up in a skin tight outfit with sensors to track the body motion. The performers spent 2 days doing different tricks while the swordsmen were doing blocks, hits, combos, etc. They will take the clips, clean them up and add skins to them.

We can take a certain pride in the swordsmen. They are part of film on this site called Art of the Saber 2. We look forward to seeing their digital action in Galaxies.

Ravenmist ,I would be happy if they did just finish the missing flourishes epecially the exotic ones, since there are only three for each now. And if they substituted the ones they just made that werent motion captured

Any news is good news

Yes I've heard about this as well, I think a lot of this is stuff thats going into the expansion tho, not just updates. My best guess is that their probably going to finish the dances we have with real flourishes and gives us those in an update and maybe 1 more dance if we're lucky, and save the rest for the expansion. I don't know about the rest of you but I know I'd sure be happy with that. I haven't heard an ETA on any of this tho, will likely be at least another month or two.

This is just the reason i am in for the long haul.

I will not give up my dancer status no matter what happens come hell or high water.

I know me i am an avid MMO player i stick with these games for a very long period of time.

I played EQ for over 4 years i played DAOC for almost 2. I can see myself playing this game for many years.

Call me silly but the social aspect in this game is what really draws me in. I like being a social butterfly. The tools that allow me to be social are really awesome. That with the fact that they are doing the best job on this that they can. (I know there are a bunch of doom and gloomers out there but really why would the devs make a game to suck on purpose)

Even just the small changes that are coming having me excited looking toward the future. New dances new flo's Riding around the desert on my Bantha, being a bouncer in a player cantina. Whipping around in my new landspeeder. Eventually flying around in space in a ship that I own. Trust me if your in for the long haul that the problems we are facing now will soon be gone and it will be the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel making this game the most intense online experience ever.

I am truly privilaged to play with some of the nicest people i have met online. In a galaxy far far away...

I agree with Syl.

Since UO I typically play big dumb chop-socky types, but this time I decided to try RPing a little female dancer. The RP is great, she can change dances and outfits with each song, she loves her girlfriends and woe betide anyone who has the bad judgement to suggest a shopping trip to some master tailor's shop. She's got to be the worst clothes horse on Naboo.

All in all she's a big change for me, and I'm looking forward to what's coming for the profession.
