The thing that completely turned me off

Nebell

The game seems promising, with a nice art style.
I have created every single race and gender in hope that I will find one that I like. Unfortunately, as much as I try, there is not a single race with a good looking running animation.
I know that they want something different that fits this art style, but what they did with running animation is going way too far.

Animations are fine with me, but I see where you come from. I had the same issue with "that other game", where the animation seemed super-clunky and amateurish to me.

Unfortunately, that's one of the things that is very unlikely to change as 99% of the people seem to be ok with it. Can't love'm all.

Yeah animation wont change anymore. I dont like them too.

However be awared that he mods from mmorpg ban you when you post something negativ about this game. I dont know why, maybe they are paid from nc soft.

Volgore

Animations have been discussed alot so far, many people dont like especially the running animations. I'm one of them.

I wonder why AGAIN a multimillion-dollar company can't get the running animations done.

I recall when I started playing LotRO the female running animations really looked bad.

It's pretty amazing how such an important yet basic animation is so rarely done well.  It's almost like developers don't really hire animators, and instead let the 3d guys take care of it when they do the rigging.  Probably with the intention of replacing them later, but never really gets picked back up.

I thought the Mechari animations were pretty good. Except the sneaking....it has a bit more "Cartoony" sneaking than I would like.

Not just this game. I got a warning just for posting a link to a negative review of ESO. It is really getting out of hand to be honest...

What gets out of hand is the number of hate/ troll posts.  Many of the negative feedbacks on games are from the same people who just want to run the hate train.  

If you don't like the game, do you have to post multiple hate posts for the sole purpose of stirring up crap and lower sub rate?   Move on and play the games you like.  To be honest this forum is littered with this garbage and I wish the mods deleted more of these types of posts.

So far I really like the Aurin animations all around. Granok aren't bad either.  Mechari and Mordesh(?) are a little weird though...

I can't agree more. People act innocent but some people are constantly bombarding every thread with negative comments that do absolutely nothing to add to the discussion. I've made plenty of negative comments towards Wildstar and surprise I never got banned!

Don't be an asshole, don't troll or hijack threads and you will be fine. Even better yet, if you don't have any interest in a game just move on.

Wow, another and I mean that I've heard quite a few people say this. I logged into Open Beta with 4 friends, we didn't make it past lvl4 being disgusted at the running animations. they are just wierd. Animations are a big deal to me, sometimes i can look past them, but this I couldn't. I thought Rift running animations were bad, these are way worse.

The running animations for some races are pretty... bad.

I made a character of every race and class in the game this week just to see what I like if I decide to play, and I found that the Granok and Chua running animations were probably the least offensive and more on the natural side.

The human, cassian and mordesh were absolutely terrible looking.

I'm thinking that overall I like the Chua Spellslinger the most which sucks cause I would prefer to be exiles, but I either don't like their races or don't like their appearance.  In fact, just looking at Aurin makes me want to punch them for some reason.

Dreamo84

Mordesh and Mechari seemed to be the exact same models overall which was disappointing. And their running animations were really bad they were like prancing it was very... Awkward to say the least.

two things that turned me off from this game.  Range classes range really sucks and seems useless because you get bumrushed by the mobs anyways, and the combat..... strafe/spam strafe spam abilit repeat until one of you dies.  I dislike combat that doesn't actualy let me see whats going on because i am too busy sidestepping and strafing around the mob and being forced to melee when i really weant to range dmg.

Sounds like you didnt play much.

Range definitely get some tricks to use after a few levels.

The Mordesh animations feel like I'm getting ready to do the long jump. So much bouncing and bounding.

I have just tried the game myself and i couldn't agree more. Cassian race seemed best to me but even then it wasn't good or something i would want to play with. I'm gonna try and get past it but this should seriously be addressed.

As someone who mostly has played Aurin... I don't have this complaint.

however, it seems that no one complaining has played this race, perhaps it is free of this issue.

Or some people will find anything to complain about.

Just zoom all the way out and play the telegraphs. It's possible to pretend your watching from space. /wink

anrenrui

The thing that really bothers me is that Wildstar is a really really bad game with ALMOST no innovation, the only 2 new things in it by comparison to other games are telegraphs and warplots essentially. 

That being said, I'm still going to get it because I'm infatuated with arena... at least until a real man full loot pvp game comes out so I don't have to play anymore games with sissies to try and blend in to the social gamers delinquents.

Because I don't think developers have ever been known for their athleticism.

Ah lol that is funny! 

Back on topic I am not sure if the animations or lack of them I should say are really because of a design choice or maybe them needing to keep costs down so they cut where they thought they could get away with it so to speak.

Sometimes it's just not possible to get everything down the first go around because you have a budget to respect, that said I wish companies would stop cutting in this aspect as it makes the games feel like they are going a step backwards rather than forwards.
