Idle animations (non-combat idle stances) will be selectible by players in the character creator.[2]
- Part of the feedback that we got from the tank demonstration when we were holding that two-handed sword was that people would like to see variants of the types of non-combat idle stances that can be had with certain weapons; and so we decided to introduce a variant of that with having the [sword] rest on the on the shoulder; and that is something that we'll be exploring further to see just how much runway we can get out of custom and/or selective idle stances.[2] – Steven Sharif
Animations
- We really wanted to build the combat system to- like i said earlier- be as physical as possible. So we have it very animation driven. Everything is handled based on a reference of animation as opposed to nebulous timings, which allows it to feel very impactful and very responsive.[4] – Keenan Reimer
- We're not going to be having I think unique combat animations. However we will have unique non-combat animations, such as your idle, your walk, your run cycle: things that the combat attacks do not have to blend back into.[5] – Steven Sharif
Social animations
There are interactive social animations and emotes.[9]
Some animations will be agreed-upon emotes that you can initiate with other characters.[12]
- Q: Can we dance on tables?
- A: Technically the tables are in world, so yes...[13] – Steven Sharif
There may be emotes associated with mounts and pets, such as petting, hugging, or playing with them.[14]
- In alpha one you might have seen some of the anims on the rider of a horse that they went down and patted the side of the neck, or they would pet those; but those would be separate actions that you could potentially do as just additional emotes, but interfaces with a mount or pet that you have active.[14] – Steven Sharif
Gear appearance priority
Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.[15][16][17]
- Only one item can show at a time, and that is determined by player choice.[18]
- Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will automatically swap in and out as required by the skill.[19][20][21]
- Weapons are able to be sheathed.[18][22]
- Idle animations will be selectible by players in the character creator.[2]
