For those of you saying you can't see it. When viewing the video, pause for a bit and press (hold?) the Greater Than or Less than to see it frame by frame. i.e. < or > by doing so you can slow it down so you CAN see what's different. Like the fact that the beta one the cat form leaves from a sitting position and does a sort of leap into its movement. Where as the live one is a bit janky and the first few steps move from whatever position it is in. You'll also notice that the body rises up and lowers a bit more.As for those of you who say you main and still can't see it, most of the time we don't see the side of our character, we see the rear. Keep that in mind!
Druid cat run get updated. Meanwhile, Worgen and Goblin models are still blocks and need to be updated.
Glad I read comment, I didn't see the change. Also how about they update the Goblin and Worgen models instead...that is something that really needs updating.
Because the guy that went to school to learn computer animation is the guy they put in charge of class balance?
i hope they update the cat stance as well, like the bear stance
PRETTY KITTIES.
Absolutely gorgeous change! Loving the new run especially. ^^
would be nice if they took the new animations and gave them to older cat models as well. Just like they have done with the bears and raptors en bfa
Wow... how many developers spent how many weeks working on this unnoticeable change over doing something that people would actually notice and appreciate?
For a specc who's visuals will not change from the launch to the end of the expansion unless they add another transmoggable form I'm glad it's getting attention. All other classes get to see new weapons and armor sets while with the exception of Legion, druids are left alone, what's given to them NEEDS to look perfect otherwise it's boring. They've already stated that they're finished with major content creation with BfA, this change could easily have been done by a single developer within a couple of hours by adjusting the running animation while other members of the team are designing the new npc's for patch 8.1 onwards. I'm not sure why people are acting like this change took an entire team of developers and was some sort of huge expense, or why people expect any huge model changes for other races when they've explicitly said they're finished for now but I guess people love complaining
As a druid main and for someone with a huge 3D interest, these animation updates always makes my day! *O*
Not the same employees do animations as do number balances and rotation... completely different skills.
new animation is more like a lion/tiger/big cat run, kinda like a rounded leap in front
Sometimes Blizzard gives me things that I didn't even know I wanted.This is a fine example of that.
Very nice animations!I appreciate when Blizzard makes the little things happen while the big things are being worked on in the background.
Aside from losing the side to side head motion, not seeing much difference
So, they're basically less bouncy. Running animation doesn't have their butt thrown up into the air as they go and walking animation actually stays straight instead of slightly bouncing.
