Full idle animations playing in Arsenal

[SilviaFendragon]

Previously, in the arsenal frames would play the simple standing animation for their animation set, but now the full animation (like Octavia's dance in her idles) are playing, which make it kind of cumbersome to customize your frames!

I don't know if it's intentional, but I don't think it's an improvement.

EDIT: Maybe a good way to improve this would be to let the full animation play if no customize menu is open (with the exception of the animation set selection), so that if one is trying to customize their frame or weapons they can do so without dealing with all the movement.

i agree though its worse on Octavia than the other warframes as she dances around while creating a mandachord song and she blocks the mandachord every 20 seconds its really annoying and makes me mess up when inputting the notes

While they work on fixing this, just take off the animation for the time being (even though you probably knew that :P).

I noticed this while trying to customize my weapons. Really hard to do so when your frame is twirling the gun around.

Whuuuut? I freaking love that, being able to see the idle animation of my selected animation set on my primary or secondary is handy as all hell. That was the one thing that always bothered me. 

[Shifty_Shuffler]

Haha, I was just about to post about this! I just want there to be a steady animation when customising my weapons, it's quite annoying when your warframe does a twirl or something every few seconds when you're trying to colour a weapon.

Absolutely 100% hate this, thank you for bringing it up. It makes making slight alterations to regalia, colours, etc INCREDIBLY frustrating! It was perfect before the update when they just stood still, why on earth did they change this...

[Kalvorax]

before this update,,the only way i could get this was by going to captura....while i like it, i can see why many others dont, so give it a toggle on the appearance menu and move the captura to somewhere else....maybe a console to the right of the arsenal.

don't mind me, wrong thread :D

This change is so long over due.

If DE are looking to address old content and change things, this is one of the small alterations that would make a lot of difference. Literally a QoL change.

The thing is, I'm almost positive that there was a time when your Warframe would stay still while you were colouring your gun. No idea what prompted the change.

Well, the old Warframe UI, the second one, had the idles playing. When in 2014 they added U14 that went away. Now they brought it back, but just let it play.

I like that animations play in Arsenal, but not while you do other stuff.

I think the best compromise would be to have the idles play only when:

-Arsenal main page

-Equipping item

-Appearance (but stopping when you enter the palettes, armor, syandana, skins and holsters).

The rest, if I left any out, should probably have only the breathing idle and not the "here's how cool I am" animation.
