Wonky 2H axe/hammer animations

With many 2H axe/hammer models why do they share the 2H sword animation when holding them with the hands together rather than apart like with pole arms?

With swords it makes sense since the handle is relatively small and isolated to the bottom of the weapon but looks awkward af on hafted weapons especially with many non-vanilla 2Hers where they hold the weapon in the middle of the haft like they’re that infamous guy on YouTube who thinks he’s Darth Mail.

Indie company, I know, but it looks laughably bad and no one would ever use a weapon that way so can we get an animation update please, or at least reposition them so 2H hammers and axes are all held towards the bottom rather than with the hand s together in the center?

You have no idea how rough they have it. It takes thousands upon thousands of seconds to program that kind of thing!

Unironically yes. With how many weapon models exist with multiple races to go through this is another " we could do it but is not worth the effort"

Well, think of it this way…

Let’s say everyone was equipping their weapons upside down, for some reason. Let’s say Blizz would have to go through and individually fix that issue for every weapon. Would they? I believe they would.

The thing you gotta remember, is people who make threads like this, voicing their distaste for how our characters hold an axe at the blade, to them, it’s equally as ridiculous. Maybe Blizz doesn’t echo that sentiment, but that’s kinda where I see most of these people coming from.

Just saying. :crazy_face:

This is the “why am I bald when I use a hat” issue all over again. Everyone knows about it but its just not high on their long list.

I would love to be able to dictate how weapons sheathe specially polearms (with the blade down) but I also know is probably never getting fixed.
