When posting news of "official" stuff, it's also good policy to include a link that would both confirm and include added details. Are you talking about:

http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/404/view/news/read/25738/The-Secret-World-Brand-New-Combat-Feature-to-be-Revealed.html

It could be just a new auxiliary weapon. Not to mention that brand new does not mean revamp of the current nor overhaul.

Edit: It's not an auxiliary weapon after all.

No its reticule combat which is just a silly idea thats worthless

This.  Not sure what's with all this "secrecy" when the dev announces it on twitter.

Whats worse is they will claim they are innovative when TERA did it before

Originally posted by Jaedor When I'm in combat, I'm not looking at my character to see if it looks good while fighting, lol. But to answer the OP's question, combat animations and character creation were much improved during the last week of beta and have been tweaked a lot since launch. As someone already suggested, you might want to try the free trial.

Obviously you never played beta, as I said the only changes were a couple of pistol animations and some different sound effects for hammer. They have yet to improve upon any animations as promised.

I did indeed play the beta - both closed and BWEs.

Then you know they have not done animation updates. In fact the State of game address says they are still working on that (they are completely overhauling it but I guess it will be awhile)

a ton got changed and improved, everything pistol and AR, jumping, dodging, upper body movements, mob impacts, some spell castings. All those differences I noticed on release. And they are constantly changing stuff like every MMO

this. from the beta weekends to live (and the current build) animations and effects have been improved.

Generally small little tweaks every now and again but they are improving and will continue to improve, their current efforts are (iirc from the livestream) focused on making you able to step on two levels at once with your feet, currently its the usual hovering foot syndrome, and they are trying to improve the connection between animations so they feel better as you fight, if you have a look at the livestream you can see some effects and animations from the curent build (granted its limited to what weapons they use) and you'll hear some of the stuff they are doing with animations as the game develops.

I'd be curious to know how many of the folks complaining about animations are talking about what they experienced in the BETA and havent played the game since.
