I think the new animations are pretty good, a bit too calligraphy looking though.

The new nate is better than the current one, yet it could still improve a little

[quote=DeadlyStab]You should have added a poll with the choices: New, Current, or Neither. It'd be interesting to see what people would have voted.

I like the new one because it is darker and matches our style more, if anything needs to be changed it would be to look less "bloby-like" but there is a good chance it'll get reworked again in the future or before the patch goes live. People need to stop being so scared of changes.[/quote]

yes agreed, i like the color change, the blobby theme could be remade to look more thin and "precise"

[quote=spitfirebal2]I think they're really going with the SHADOWer theme. Instead of just hiding in the shadows, they're literally controlling shadows to attack.

[Obligatory about Night Walkers goes here]

Everyone was talking about how "it looks like Kanna's main attacking skill" and I was wondering "Wait, does Shad attack with sealing charms now?"[/quote]

I thought i was the only one who actually liked the visual upgrade

@turtlebear Is that the new Assassinate? Does it hit multiple monsters now? Looks like a Night Walker version of Demon Lash @pliskin NOOOOOOOO you were the most powerful shad in our alliance, seeing you always motivated my shad. At least change your [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/user/Pliskin/players]other dual blade[/url] to a shad

I still like the current SP, it's simplistic. I'm still excited for the new assassinate animation, just wish they removed the purple.

I hope they scrap the Shadow Partner change because they'll likely add it to NL's in the next kMST update.

Nope nope nope. I'm not doing caligraphy when I log onto my shad. Not to mention, it seems the range is much much shorter. It seems we are Kannas but with daggers.

Shadow partner looks lame now. I loved the little summoning circle. The only thing they need to do is make it look like mirror image. Maybe put a shadow effect under your feet that looks like some black aura but that's a maybe.

As for assassinate, I feel they should make is ACTUALLY feel like an assassination... not painting with Bob Ross...

It's a step in the right direction, but I think more effort could have been put into Assassinate to make it look better. Like, it sort of matches with the dark shadow that appears in Boomerang Step, but Assassinate looks kind of fat. Something slimmer and sharp-looking could have been better. I don't know what to say about Shadow Partner, looks like they got lazy with it. Actually, it sort of looks like the Justice Savage Blow, just darker and fat. I think it would look better if we could rip our shadow from the ground with our Dragon Khanjar, but I don't think kMS has Dragon Khanjars.

Don't forget though, DB's don't have a shadow partner, it's a "Mirror Image"
OT: Purple and black seems like a NW thing, and where's my NL re-animations nexon? >.<

If I wanted my Shadower to look like it wasn't using a dagger, I would have made a class that didn't use one.

[quote=Primus]Hmm, the new Shadow Partner animation isn't too appealing to me, it's as if paint was splashed onto your character.
Personally, I think they should imitate the Dual Blade shadow partner, where it actually shows your partner with the exact same physical features as your attacking character rather than a black, faceless figure behind you.

But then again, it does fulfill the "shadow" in Shadow Partner.[/quote]

I agree. not liking the SP animation too much. The purple effect thing on it looks kinda odd

A bit too demon-y for my taste. Make less splattery ink look and make it more sleek.

Nexon has a strange obsession with purple and black
shadow partner's kinda cool though but nate's kinda blobby.
