Running animations

Don’t you think that the animations when running characters (mainly paladins, druids and maybe necro) are quite different from the original?
The paladin runs like a barbarian. He does not keep his proud attitude.
The druid runs as handicapped as with a broken leg.
Necro seems to be lame (but he’s an older man, that’s understandable).
It may not be so visible in the videos, but it can be definitely felt while playing.
It’s nothing serious, it’s more of an observation.

Are you talking about original or remaster? Because druid runs like lame duck with broken leg in original.

Druid’s run in the original game is okay for me.

Interesting, well i think his running in original looks pretty weird to be honest.

If the original is weird (maybe a little), then the new one is maybe even funny. Seriously how handicapped :slight_smile:

I cant find any word for it, but I agree, something seems off in the characters movement and running for me. Seems weird in some way.

I saw many threads that complains about running animations but I think they look very good personally.

different for sure but well done.

In the hacked version of D2R:

The Paladin is suffering from trying to run in a fencing stance (trying to run with your hips facing to the side.) It’s basically impossible to run using fencing footwork as running you need your hips facing forward.

The Necro runs like a constipated old man.

While it alarmed me that they even introduced new animation to the remake, I feel they should have just stuck to the original animation and not try to ‘improve’ things. These classes were not ready and were not released in the Alpha so you can assume the are still working on them. I have logged my complaints about the Pally’s movement and I’m happy to wait until they officially start it in Beta to bring it up some more. Remember these classes were not ready.

I actually like how the druid runs. He sort of hops as he’s running. Very different from the rest. And I detest druids and paladins. Hard.

well wolf druid run looks utterly horrific but I’m assuming its not done yet, because it hasn’t been officially shown. having seen it from the people who broke open the alpha now i wouldn’t have shown it either… XD

The wolf druid’s running animation is very close to the original. It is just the original running animation never looks good in 1st place.

the wolf druid animation currently looks like a hunchback…not a “wolf running”
the old one at least had the proper gait and everything.

this is a wolf running

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to get involved in the beta, but from what I saw in the videos, they fixed the running animation for the paladin. Now it no longer runs like a monkey and looks like the original. Nice work.
