Maybe some motivation to the art department to flesh out art for new gear/spells. Better character models. Dragons that don't look like fucking dogs. </wishful thinking>

Eq2s dance is incredibly fucking gay, I welcome this addition. I hope they add a few more.

Yeah Vanguard actually had 4 that you could do /dance1, /dance2, etc. It was pretty cool, since you could actually get a dance party going on raids in that everyone didn't have to be doing the same boring animation.

I hated the old dance which was the same for both genders and made male toons look very odd.

This new dance looks very WoW derivative, and is an unwelcome pop-culture intrusion into a fantasy world. So I hate it too.

So no net change for me.

He may be able to but thing is devs have different jobs for different things.

Wow totally gangsta .. he's flashing satan gang signs!

Why am I all of sudden craving soup wtf!

I would love it if each race had their own animations. Not just /dance, but casting and fighting too so everyone didn't look alike.

I just wish Arasai had an animation where it looked like they were cutting themselves.

what makes you so sure he was talking about game mechanics problems?

you assume too much and I agree there are way too many little things to be fixed( animation problems included) instead of wasting time of dance moves.

Stay tuned.

Just FYI, this is the Male Barbarian dance animation.
