Movement looks arcade like :-/

Dont mind the critique. I hope the devs or someone can see and answer this. I know the game is still in early development.

I think it would be AWESOME and add so much immersion and realism, if the movement was refined. I have been watching a lot of videos, and it looks a bit too much like Overwatch. People turn on a dime, zip from side to side with no inbetween, no stopping movement, no pitching of the body, no additional animations to suggest they are strafing side to side in armor. It looks too abrupt and sharp. The combat looks decent, but still a bit weird at moments as well. I'm hoping that when you go from running to switching directions to crouching to looking around, etc, I hope there are smooth, realistic transitions and I really hope that erratic, unnatural movement will be dealt with by the dev's. 

We have a beautiful world that looks realistic and not cartoonish like wow. I lovvvvveeee that. I do hope they will put that into all aspects. This isnt a competitive arcade fps shooter with cartoonish aesthetics, there is no need for that kind of movement here. So when we see people and crowds moving about as we will everyday for hours, we can feel more immersed.That is key.

Any thoughts?

    Right now it's just he bare basics so we can stress test the game, I believe that Intrepid will start to add small details like this further down the line afterall the animations during combat are also unrefined.

    Understood. I just wanted to check what direction they want to head in. I know more work is needed. Just curious what kind of feel/look they are after

    Movement and melee combat has been something intrepid has said they are working on to address. Just look at the halberd animation haha. That is just wonky. The animation for seeing is truly barebones, and it's something they're aware of and it's been critiqued already. I think you'll start seeing more fleshed out animations by the castle sieges and horde modes

    What's an arcade? Said the Millenials. Is that like a wizard?

    There is nothing more dangerous than a Arcade Wizard. He is able to summon forever growing snakes(as long as they have food) and all-eating creatures in form of cheeseballs!

    Animation design is bad. If you'll say "Alpha" so please attach the link where animation design in any game in "Alpha" comes another one in "beta" or in "release". There are no games at all where you can see differents between animation core mechanics. And there is open beta comes. Please dont be blind - there will be no changes at all in animations. Even BDO can't fix their animation design in core. The game will be forever choppy and with "Arcade movements" like TS said.

    while I agree they should say alpha on every video I can say first hand that the animation have changed since alpha 0 which was 6 months ago.

    I feel you bro, i've been waiting for some clean animations for a while, but just like everyone else, i'm just going to keep waiting. Patience is always rewarded :smiley:

    The game is in development...I got that. Development. Because it is being shaped, I  will express concerns over the overwhelming  sense of twitch...key mashing....frantic non stop  arcade like action.THAT is not what I'm looking for in a world I choose to live in.
