#402, "Fighting gets more style."


          

Dodging, parrying and shield blocking will now have more flair via new echo variations. Look for similar beautifying changes in the future.

I don't have the time to play much anymore, but I rolled up a new character just to check this out... awesome, kudos to all those involved.

Even though I don't play I still come read these forums to try to get a glimpse of what else you guys have managed to come up with. You don't often get the respect and recognition you deserve for your hard work, so figured I'd throw in my vote.

I added the ones for Spin and Distance, with similar frequency. More skills on the way.

I love that you guys keep adding new things to the mud, so don't take this the wrong way at all.

But I wondered how difficult it would be to allow us to toggle the new change on or off? Just as with the new damage verbs, some people don't like this "cosmetic" changes, and have a hard time getting used to them. Wouldn't think it would take too much in the way of coding, and might be a way to please everyone.

This would probably go for the more "beautifying in the future" too, depending on what exactly that entails.

Just a thought.

Anyways, thanks for the time you guys put in.
