@Evangel lol, I find that too funny, given how Guardian class uses its shield on its attack, if it were easy, I would like EDL/DL to have the shield animation in "Awethur's Fury" to be used on their Shield Bash skill, because as it stands, Guardian class really bashes the enemy with its shield unlike EDL/DL which is like they are just grazing the enemy with it when they use Shield bash. On the weight thing, the way Guardian uses his shield on the final animation of Guardian Rage certainly has weight to it, same for how they use Defend when they plant the shield on the ground The new Guardian only uses his shield as an offensive weapon for two skills. One more than DragonLord's (Shield Bash to stun; which makes sense). Unlike DragonLord's, however, Guardian's shield-hit animation doesn't have any "wind-up", or "weight" behind it. DragonLord's is an actual bash, you can see the wind-up, and you can see the weight behind it in the animation. Guardian's is more of a "push". DragonLord also plants it's shield in the ground for its defense ability. While the darkness dragon actually dissipates, Guardian's animation ends too quickly. Last frame of the animation, it just disappears. quote:
@Evangel - You're not the only one; Cronix is great at static art and even effects and such, but his animation of character movements definitely needs some more work. Still, you can see the improvement between ACCL and Guardian (meaning Guardian is way better in that regard), so I'm sure he'll be churning out Tomix-level animations soon enough. And I agree. The actual art for the class is great. And I have not doubt that the quality of his animations will no doubt improve, but... quote:
@Evangel Give Cronix some time. When Tomix was starting out, his animations were quite stiff as well. You should have seen Tomix's first flash animation with a DF-styled character. I can't really track it down now but basically you wouldn't know it was made by him someone tells you. DragonFable has gotten to a certain point where a level of quality in art and animation is expected. The quality of the new Guardian's animations (solely speaking for myself here) do not meet those expectations. And until his skills do meet that level, Cronix's animations shouldn't be used in-game. Now, I don't expect anything to change based on my opinions. But criticism should be accepted, regardless of whether it is positive or negative, or somewhere in between.
