Metalarcher Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Aw yeah, thanks Geoff! We'd better get Ash's old stance back, though. He was so beautifully ninja QuQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawGritz Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 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 My word...!! I had no idea this was stated. This is awesome! Some of new animations look cool but Rhino and Vauban, particularly, look super stiff, not "Ninja" at all.

Cryio Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 This game is getting better and better. I can't wait to get my first job to start buying stuff in Warframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casardis Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) This is really great news! However, I have to ask this already... Let's say I decide to pick the "default" idle (Excalibur), does that mean my Mag will lose her new, unique idle animations? Here's a great example of the (arguably the best) idle animation I had in mind: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/93889-mags-despair-idle/?hl=%2Bnyx+%2Bidle I hope you guys find a way to keep these unique idles in even if we pick different stances than those currently given!

Lumireaver Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Will these idle animations be expensive? (Did everyone complaining customization inadvertently screw over free players?) Anyhow, thanks for all the animations. Sorry you and your team had to weather a storm of callous and ill-contrived criticisms. Goofy or no, no human being deserves to have their work spat on like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Neato. Sounds good, thanks. Also, nice a-vor-tar! :D Edit: I'm curious, regarding these new idles and the addition of some unique "personalities," does this mean each frame is eventually going to get its own entire animation set (sprinting, jumping, knockdown recovery, etc.)? This is what I'm wondering as well. I.e. with Loki one minute he's hunched, the next he's running upright all 'Lala Braaaah'. The hand positioning on some idles need to be adjusted somewhat to match weapons if possible. As for other 'bugs', Loki's left arm goes a bit weird when he has a Sobek and any other weaps which have the same positioning.

CapricaSix Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Will these idle animations be expensive? (Did everyone complaining customization inadvertently screw over free players?) I really hope it's not expensive, at least not more than the colour packs' cost for the whole set of animations. But being as one of those people complaining about customisation, I'd love to pay for more of everything personally :P genders, sliders, alternate suits, weapon skins, even more animations, you name it. It is a F2P game after all, it's pretty normal to charge for cosmetic and alternate extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[DE]gefu Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hey guys just an update on this....my hope was to have these ready for this week but turns out that was a little too ambitious. So looks like they will be rolled out next week. Also for people wondering, these idles will be......free! I could see us in the future adding more customization options with animation packs offered in the store but not for these guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I was thinking DE was going to sell them for 200plat or something. Thanks! Still hoping you adressed the Nova idle in the Dojo though and make her look more 'docile'. Kinda like the concept art image where she just casually holds up one hand and plays with the antimatter while her body starts to glow. :D I think that would make a really awesome idle stance!! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us in the future adding more customization options with animation packs offered in the store but not for these guys :) Will the idles that play in the dojo (IE: Nyx's lotus-style levitation) be available on all idles? For instance, if I choose the default idle set, and not Nyx's "noble" or "agile" set, will I not use that animation in the dojo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroPaul Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) I hope an initial release of animations and idle's will come out free... i've literally stopped playing my Vauban because he looks like a $&*&*#(%& hunch-back troll with his current idle and animations. He literally claw's up his off-hand when using a pistol, as if he is some sort of... caveman. He is hyper twitchy, as if his armor is uncomfortable, and he sloops forward as if he is suffering from a spinal injury. Not the type of animations i'd expect from a warframe which is supposed to be inspired by one of the greatest military engineers in modern warfare. I mean he is wearing a freaking High-Tech Tail coat! The epitome of High Class Royal Command! But now we added animations to make him look like he's meant to be in a bell tower... what went wrong?

ThePresident777 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'd rather have more enemies. Those require animations too. And, what happened to the orthos animations shown when orthos was revealed in one of the dev live talks? It had an overhead swing and thrust. It was great.

Courteous even. Sometimes I feel that all our interest and enthusiasm for supporting this project - is refunded with blank silence for no apparent reason. >-> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
