Assasination animations?

[dragonboss]

I think it would be cool for there to be assassinations when you attack an enemy from behind in a certain way, similar to the finishers in darkSector but cooler, since the Tenno are quite cool.

[Windbow]

Hear, hear! Although, this is a polish issue. I would definitely dig it.

[Feindfeuer]

On unaware enemies, yes, i see no harm done in that and it would add to the stealth feeling that you sometimes get during the beginning of the mission. On alerted enemies, nope, cause i dont want to be stuck in an animation while his friends empty their rifles into me.

[Torguish]

Also these animation would need to be extremely quick.. :P Would suck if you would be stuck in that animation..

[Dexter96]

Good idea^

DEN ODA DEN!

[Strac_CRO]

I don't like the suggestion, leave it as it is, simple and quick

Yes, that would not be nice at all, but it could be solved by a brief invulnerability period...which may or may not break the game.

Ok, but the animation would have to be quick as well, just sayin.

[Konnstruct]

This would be cool, but it could be unnecessarily slow for enemies that would be insta-killed anyway.

I can already predict how it'll look for heavy meeles

Just put a simple stab in the back, like with a katana in VtM:Bloodlines, for heavy think of something else ^^" Nothing flashy, nothing extreme, just a plain animation to show you actually stealthed someone.

[Poisonkyuubi]

That's an great idea, i wish the devs would add it, assassination animations are epic :DD like in the Assassin screed series

If it's more along the lines of Dishonored and less Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I might be down for it. I hate long animations that take control away from me in combat. If they were very quick and only happened against unalerted enemies, then yeah it could add some flavor to the stealth mechanics when or if they get around to fleshing them out.

Yeah, the assassinations I mean should not be like the deus ex ones, more like the quick ones in Halo or Dark Sector, which was what I had in mind. I think those were called finishers in the game, but yeah definiely nothing too long and if there are long and awersome ones worth the wait (meaning there will be a LARGE variety), then you should at least be invulnerable during those. Also, they should only be on unalerted enemies, though I feel that melee from behind on alerted enemies should be different.

It would certainly make Loki an even more interesting frame to use. The only thing I see as a problem would be that the only enemies you would really want to use it on are the enemies that are supposed to provide a challenge and not go down easy, like Grineer Bombards or Infected Toxicants. It wouldn't be very useful on normal enemies since they usually go down in a shot or two anyway, and would end up as more a nuisance in that instance since a shot to the head with a shotgun will likely take less time than an assassination animation.

It could be fine but it will definitely change the game balance a bit.

[Starbarian]

+1. Just make it fast so you're not stuck in the animation, like a quick throat slash or stab through the back that lasts as long as a quick charge attack.

[Siilk]

I think killing moves for unaware enemies is a very good idea. An quick instant kill will be a proper reward for stealth approach. But of course, this will not work at all while enemies are alarmed and actively looking for Tenno.

Makes perfect sense, also thinking later on in this subject, if orientation to the enemy performed a different kind of Stealth kill,

so maybe from above could drop down time your "E" and pin the enemy to the ground with your melee weapon. Maybe something similar for a wallrun strike.

[RainDreamer]

Make it has the same speed of assassin creed animation. Stab, dead, move on to next.

Agreed

[AlanXDZ]

assasinations animations will be great,desarm enimies will be nice and when whe disarm them we can capture and torture and reserch him >:D

[OssomSagax]

I think we need more varied assasination animations. Perhaps if you are airborne, and begin assasination, you stab them down through the top of the head with a normal sword, stab the in the back of the neck with a dagger, or just outright cleave them in two with a heavy sword.

This sounds awesome! Melee in general needs more variety to strikes and such, but as devs said before, this is more of a polish issue and we should expect it.

There are stealth finishers currently in the game for each melee weapon type.
