Will there be crouch and kick in game?
- Thread starter Joz
- Start date
They have said multiple times that crouch is planned for after release, but is not intended to be a combat maneuver, it's meant to be used for stealth etc, so will likely be structured in a way where it's not viable to do in combat.
Haven't heard anything about kick, but shield bash is already in the game and has a similar function, so they can certainly add it if they want, it's just about animation and balance, but if you wanna have a kick style attack, get a shield and go to it (block then click attack).
We already have /emote squat - they just need to make the server aware of animations because everyone loads default standing for anyone not in the area making it pointless to use it to hide in a small bush
And that's the one I was pretty sure was planned. I don't need to add the disclaimer of "for what that is worth"; others have supplied it in advance and will add it as yet again another two cents, after this.
And this is why I wish the new (newish) forums had a rating for 'Informative', but since they do not, love will have to do.
Thank you.
Yeah, that would be a short-term fix, but I believe crouch would allow for slow movement as well, which would provide us with an actual kind of "sneak" related to thievery. H has been asked that question over and over and he's gotten more and more firm that they're adding in a crouch every time.
This is possibly an improvement over MO1, where at times the 'lying down' animation for female avatars failed completely & left them standing in the default ('arms akimbo, fee apart') model position.
