<DIV>DANGIT !!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I've recently returned on what I'm guessing is a "Come try us again for XX days" type pass that I didn't know about... since I can play/post and my account is NOT active.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway, my favorite class... though I play several... has always been my Monk... and for ONE reason only... the cool martial arts moves.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I stopped playing him at one point long ago when they screwed around with something and FAR more often than not my cool looking "jumping spinning back kick." never animates when used... I guess it gets "overwritten" by some other animation that's going on... I even PURPOSEFULLY hold back on activating CA's so this will animate... the same type of animation when using a Bo staff ALWAYS animates for some reason, (Unless I immediately spam another CA), but the "jumping spinning back kick" does not.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>However, I then discovered... much to my glee... that fighting hand to hand or with wraps gives me cool martial art looking hand attacks and that at some point, after the change where folks start out as their class... LU20?... that my lv 19 kick, (called Roundhouse kick now), had a true Roundhouse kick animation and animated EVERY time... and my Thrust kick became the jumping spinning back kick animation, (which it WAS anyway at one point then they changed it to the lame "EVERY fighter can do it" type animation).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ok... so now Thrust Kick didn't animate, unless I used a Bo staff, but Roundhouse kick did. Fine... so be it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Then I left again... I cycle through games, playing one for a couple/few months then moving to another one... eventually returning again.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, I was all ready to return again but NOW I find that for whatever [Removed for Content] reason, SOE can't find anything better to fix/mess with than our attack animations. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>NOW, Roundhouse kick is NOT a Roundhouse kick animation but the jumping spinning back kick animation... which would be FINE if I could ever bloody well SEE IT !!! And of course Thrust Kick is now a true thrust kick animation... but boring as all get out since every fighter and his mom can do this animation <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ok, I KNOW I'm playing my Monk for the wrong reason... cool attack animations... but that's why I play him and I'm SICK of SOE messing with the animations and... for me and what I like... screwing them up.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Why by the way does the jumping spinning back kick animation get "overwritten" by... who knows what... but the truly LONGER animation of kicking with a Bo Staff does NOT????</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If the arguement for making the Thrust Kick animation change was to make it look like a Thrust Kick, which I can grudgingly uderstand and accept, then why the bloody heck did they NOT keep Roundhouse Kick as a ROUNDHOUSE KICK animation????</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is there anything I can do to force that jumping spinning back kick animation to... well.... animate?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And when I do the Silent Fist Kata there's some type of jumping spinning reverse cresent kick... will I ever get that as an attack? If so... which attack?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm becoming so frustrated with my Monk which is why in large part he was created the DAY OF RELEASE and he's still only lv 20.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know, again... "Dude you're a total smacktard !! The Monk is such a cool class for XX and YY reasons and you just play it and whine about it 'cause of the way the attacks look? Dude... you're a loser !!"</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know... but *shrugs* we all play and like certain classes for different reasons and this is mine... so loser I may be... so be it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway... any insight anyone can give me on this, any info on how I can make sure that animation is animated, any info on when/if I get that other jumping spinning cresent kick attack.... is greatly appreciated.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh... and SOE... I'm QUITE certain there have been FAR more important issues on your plate than constantly messing up our animations !! GRRRRRRRR.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Take care all.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
