Fencer Archive

Ok, I know talking about the fencer weapon graphics is kinda old as it has been discussed time and again, however, I watched my friend playing Kotor yesterday and he was using 2 VBs and man I wish our VB is as elegant as that

check out the test Center changes witha survival knife, different graphics for weapon wielding melee classes, the unarmed tka (no vibros) loooked the same

the survival knifes dont look any different...

I dont mean to bash other people, but fencers have a working class for the most part. Take a look at the pistoleer state of the profession report. After they fix the broke classes then lets worry about better graphics and animations

Hold the phone... after everything Fencers have gone through to get to where we finally are... and with what Pistoleers have been able to accomplish since day one... you want to come to this forum and claim Pistoleers are a *BROKEN* class???

I agree Pistoleers have issues. I could create a State of the Profession for Fencers that would make you weep if I wanted to. We just have a bit of pride.

I try to always support your correspondent when he brings your issues to the developers. Please don't come here and put our issues down, regardless of how big or little you may find them. (And no... this minor graphics "issue" isn't among our biggest concerns. Just an annoyance we wouldn't mind having cleared up.)

Sorry to get defensive.

I believe the devs assigned for designing the item graphics are different from those assigned for char skills so my statement has got nothing to do with your pistol problems(hey, I'm working on pistol lines too).

In no way was that meant to be offensive but if you want to talk graphics how about the fact that when a pistoleer dodges he has to stop running?, the pistol skills are broke the marksman skills have a higher dps then the master pistoleer ones do. my intention was not to try and put down fencers i am working on blademaster right now i mearly wanted to point out that we shouldnt complain about looking cool, when others are so much farther behind. we should support the other classes as well as our own. I think we can all agree that getting the devs to do these improvements should be a team effort, and not a only us situation.

On a lighter note...

There are new trails for melee weapons. Instead of a red "flag", all melee users (except truly unarmed players) now have trails that are just a blurred texture of the edge of their weapon following (or something of the sort... if you wanna get technical, check it out for yourself.) I'm personally looking forward to dropping the bright red marker of "I'm melee, kill me now!"

^^^^^^^^^

LMAO.


Hey I personally don't mind the "kill me now" flags.

That sounds terrible! That really happens to you? I'd be happy to try and help get the issue fixed for Pistoleers. Wow... I'd hate for that be one of the Fencer issues!

i never said it wasnt a fencer issue but the point still stands that as a game there are more important things then cool looking weapons

Someone else said it before. There are different devs in charge of Art and Programming. This could be a win-win argument!

... I say once again, the devs that are doing the graphic designing aren't the same as the one tweaking the skills...
