That looks just strange. I really hate that adnimation hehe. I wish that was cleaned up a bit.

The only issue I have is their lower body. They are completely stiff when they swing or do an attack and that makes it look kind of awkward.

I think it's really inexcusable to have such poor animations when this game has been in development for 12 years. Either they have terrible artists or poor attention to detail. Low-poly character models I can understand: they simply need to make sure the game will run on various computers. But those stiff animations that haven't changed at all/insignificantly...really?

they are a lil stiff but the more animations the harder it is on pcs so they coudl ahve ran into issues making the whole body move

I don't have a problem with the animations or models at all, what sandbox game has better graphics than the first Darkfall?  Only Darkfall 2.  You could say EVE, but that's all space...so it runs easy on the cpus.  Darkfall has 100+ vs 100+ man fights, you aren't going to have tera graphics.  Still, they aren't bad graphics.

more like 1k vs 1k not very often but yea

Yeah I understand getting 100 fps on Planetside 2 with 500 players running around :P I don't think making it into an excuse of performance is excuseable. Even more since old games like EQ had a way to change distance and such of animation calculations.

tab target game not fps

What?

Complex animations won't work for an FPS based comabt  system.  How are  you going to run and fight while the animationj is twirling your sword  around your head.  I won't even mention that when someone sees you start twirling they will dodge out of the way.

It is a different game and until you play it you can't judge the animations or graphics.

Let me give you an example of a medium sized battle without the settings turned way down:

I always prefer game play over graphics.

Graphics have never been a big deal to me as long as I am not looking at a stick figure.

I always agree here. Though basic combat animations do bother me a crap ton. As long they look not say realistic but more smooth and not feel like your going to point a to point b in the animation in like 2 frames but a more smoother looking frame then I love it. But Darkfall tends have these strange animations that are hard to get use to.
