Idles Animations!

[Hazadin]

So VERY APPRECIATED! SO MUCH THANKS GEOFF!

This is for the most part an great idea, but I don't like the notion of a rigid distinction between "noble" and "agile" stances (for instance, Nova is *obviously* shy and adorable, where would this sit on the noble-agile scale?). I'd much rather choose between a number of postures that just work well with a given warframe, without any arbitrary restrictions. There's always the default stance if the "personality" ones don't match the mental image a player has of their character.

Hey everyone, (this Geoff for anyone unaware)

Firstly thanks for all the feedback, I've been following it very closely. I totally appreciate the mixed feelings with these changes and admittedly think I may have gone about it wrong waiting too long to force changes on people's characters.

So! Moving forward its probably best to make idles a customization choice in the arsenal. What we are thinking is each warframe will share a default idle (the old animation and the one Excalibur currently uses) then provide 2 custom stances for each warframe; a tall one and one that's more compressed maybe theming them as "noble" and "agile"....still trying to work that out.

The idle anims help with the role playing aspect to these characters and providing more choice rather than pushing a personality onto them will serve much better. I'm *hoping* we can have this ready to roll out in the next week, should be able to.....and yes we will for sure take in the feedback and adjust the current idles in game also :)

Thanks for the support

a well composed answer and IMHO a great solution =] (options are always great)

thnx 4 all yer hard work

[ASH_PRIME]

Thanks Geoff!!!

The more CHOICES we have the happier we are!

Perhaps you could ask the sound dept what they think about giving us choices for weapon sounds also??!!!  
seems a shame to waste all the past sound fx that some of us still love and miss!

THANKS!   ZR

I've suggested several times that any 'personality' for Warframes (be them voices or gender biased animations) be like 'skins' and selectable by players, so this is the way to go far as I see it.

For some reason, this is how I picture Vaubans face under his helmet with his new posture:

 

Internet, what have you done to me? :D

[Zenoda]

[basilioss]

Yes! Now my Rhino won't look like he is

A: Pointing his Flux Rifle at himself (lol)

[SilverBones]

Why not just give make all current idles options for all current frames? Separating male and female of course... Or would that be too much?

 

EDIT: nevermind... I realized that would probably be too much... 6 idles to choose from per character is a lot :P

Geoff why you so cool?

[Gorebag]

Fantastic! Very happy to hear this! Thanks! :D 

[Soopineer]

So much Gasms..

[Keltik0ne]

Jesus Geoff, don't scare us with your house of horror themed idles :P

 

Looking forward to turning them all off :P

[Bakercompany86]

Since we are Tenno operatives, perhaps shifting the stances so we all move and idle like modern special forces would appeal to everyone.

 

After all, aren't many on Earth as badass as say, Navy Seals/Delta Force types.

[Seraphiel451]

ALL HAIL GEOFF

 

EDIT: Geoff, will we be possibly seeing these as options at all?  

 

I thought those are the new animations?  Most likely they will use those as options for their respective frames.

 

Beyond that, this sounds great!  Thanks Geoff.

Thanks Geoff, I really appreciate this as I was getting very annoyed to see my Nova look like this in the Clan Dojo.

 

 

Was this intended or was this only a small part of a longer animation that was never meant to look like this? At any rate I'm really hoping for a fix/change regarding her Dojo stance as (to me) it's just very annoying to see and doesn't seem to fit Nova at all!! :)

[Ronin666]

It's a tough gig..props to you and your crew man.

 

Doing a fantastic job of balancing community requests and the team's aesthetic preferences.

A pool of animations that share between all warframes?

Incredibly awesome idea! Thank you for listening to us! Highly appreciate it!

[Noogums]

A good way to go about it! Thank you for all your hard work.

Will changing your Tenno's pose alter their dojo idles?

 

I want to change Nyx's idle so she doesn't wave her arms around in the dojo, but I love the lotus style levitation animation she plays.
