Thread: Anyone else bothered by this?!

I noticed a while ago that with only a few exceptions, theres only ONE set of attack animations applied to ALL of our attacks! For example, Melee Hit and Improved Impale both look EXACTLY the same. Improved/Advanced versions still dont change the animations at all. This is highly disturbing to me, this is so far the only real complaint I've had about the CU

The exceptions: Leghit, Spin, and Lunge, all of which use their old animations.

And yeah, the new particle effects when you hit stuff are cool, but I want real attack animations too! Even if they just copy and paste the old ones to the new attacks, its a start!

Someone please tell me this is just temporary! I miss area2 already

I'm rather irritated by our loss of good-looking specials too. Sure, we have pretty particle effects and all that (and the NSEL glows a lot more now), but the wonderful animations were always what made pikeman so cool. Without them we lack style.

Yes our very cool looking moves seem to have been removed. I tried all of them and now we look like we're not sure how to use the big stick we are holding so we do alot of poking at a creature. Currently we look like we were at one with our pike and perform incredibly smooth and almost artistic moves all the while smacking the creature upside the head. I hope they fix this.

I'm TKM only taking pikeman to get my Spin Attack back but I must say the CU has removed a LOT of the details that made SWG great.


And, put in those horrible particle effects that blind me, annoy me, and lag me to death.

I am sure the animations will be back in as well as the sounds before this CU goes in, I cant believe they would leave it like this.
