I almost never feel the need to post this kind of feedback, and I’m sure there are other topics about this already but it’s honestly just SO BAD that I need to make another.
The new Colossus Smash and Warbreaker animations are unbelievably bad. I don’t know what is supposed to be going on with them. What on earth are the weird ethereal weapons spawning at slight delay after the abilities and then sort of… falling? Around the target(s)? Why are there even weird ethereal weapons appearing in the first place? I’m a warrior, I hit things with MY weapon not… whatever those are.
Warbreaker also used to feel like a smash, but with the whirlwind animation it just feels like… whirlwind, which is really underwhelming to begin with and certainly doesn’t give the feel of breaking something.
Please, please just revert the animations and if you feel the need to update them later, make them something that feels like a warrior ability and retains the general feel of the previous animations.
Yes, please don’t put them in the game and let the old animations in retail like they are. Or just give us a glyph or several glyphs to keep the old animations or to remove the “ghost weapons” with the “impact effect” on the ground. Or we could also get glyphs to get these new animations for the ones who want them.
Generally animations are the last thing I care about but I agree, the new colossus smash/warbreaker animations are bad and visually cluttering for no reason.
What’s the purpose of the weapons falling after the armor smash animation? Just making the armor smash animation would be ok I guess, but the weapon animation makes no sense.
If you’re unwilling to go back to the drawing board to either completely change/edit these fine but make glyphs that allow us to use the old animation please. Thanks!
