Remember the old greatswords? The old hammers? One Handed Swords? How fast and much better their combos used to be? I remember. I used to heavily rely on mods to reignite the flames these weapons had, but my absolute favorite weapon ever was the greatsword. A fierce, quick overhead downward slam, into some radial slashes, and then leaping up and doing another slam for the heavy attack. It was one of my favorite things to do in Conan. Now it’s stripped of its glory. It’s slow, it doesn’t have the impact it used to, and without mods to bring back the way it used to be, I don’t even use it anymore. It’s a tale of tragedy. How an exile lost his sword.
I know this is dramatic but I do feel this way. The greatsword was exceptional. So this is day one of reposts to maybe get Funcom to revert this glorious piece of dopamine and massacre to its former glory.
I much like the way greatswords are now. It actually feels like using a montante rather than a sledgehammer. Well, in a cinematic, rather than realistic, way.
I’ve always felt one of the benefits of legendaries is some should have different animations. Perhaps could bring back some of the old combo’s on particular legendary weapons?
Yeah. The price we pay so as not to accidentally murder a T4 artisan is having them look lifeless and colorless. Heck, even some Taskmasters opt out of the Hyperborean Slaver outfit in favor of the apron.
I did concept some ideas to dressing up Faction crafters so as to be distinguishable yet fit in their faction back in the day, using existing in-game assets so it’d only be a matter of matching the clothing IDs with the NPC ID’s in the database. Luckily, I still have some of them saved to use as an example:
Here, for example, would be Alchemists for the Forgotten Clan, Dogs of the Desert, Black Hand and Nordheimer factions. As you can see, each of them shares the Kambujan Shaman skirt (dyed in Faction thematic colors), but is otherwise dressed in Faction fashion. Using similar ideas, you could make each crafter easily identifiable at a glance, but still look like they’re part of the faction.
Day 2 remembering the greatsword. Tried it some more earlier today and it was really useful when swarmed by a bunch of adds, but I still miss the old iteration.
I’m actually still trying to figure out what you’re talking about. You mean the stanced pauses at the end of most combos and some attacks… where the character just kinda stands there uncontrollably?
If that’s what you mean there have been many threads asking for some form of “animation canceling” in order to… well, yeah, cancel those. Funcom and/or the @Community never seems interested in implementing it though - and many PvPers claim they shouldn’t either… I PvP myself and don’t think it would be bad - especially if “cripple” were removed too. It would certainly speed up combat - and that sounds pretty yummy!
Anyway, just kinda wondering what you’re talking about and @SirDaveWolf isn’t coming through with the example animations so I thought I would ask.
Thanks… I’m not really seeing much difference tho. (???) there are still the uncontrollable pauses at the end of combos and some attacks. Attack speeds seem the same as well.
What am I missing?
Maybe spawn the champion or the judge in and fight some?
