New 'standing poses', please.

Can we get an update? I'd appreciate it, because we need some help.

'Normal' makes you look like you've never seen a new town.

'Heroic' is okay. It just moves too 'robotic'.

'Vixen' makes everything all... weird, but it's all right for some females.

'Huge' looks like you're having a poop.

'Huge Beast' looks like you're Gary Busey having a poop.

'Beast' works if you're into that kind of thing, I guess.

So, drop suggestions, any reference will do.

Would be cool, maybe add some breathing.

    This one:

    And it already is in the game.

    Also:
    Walk for heroic female stance needs to be tweaked. It's terribly stiff and unnatural.

    Maybe we could borrow a few walks and stances from STO, or NW?

    I share the same opinion about the current poses

    Normal = really boring actually

    Heroic = All my characters use this pose because it's the less stupid

    Vixen = arg... Only 1 character use it

    Huge = Nope

    Huge Beast = Nope Nope

    Beast = The character who used to have this pose was changed to Heroic because this pose is really silly! I like the beastial run I DON'T like the Beastial Idle! I don't like seeing the character Crouching
    I will I could combine Heroic stance + Bestial walk

    As I said on this Old Thread which I can't Bump anymore because stupid 30 days inactivity) there are actually already some really AWESOME poses ingame... used when interactive with objects

    Those Four Poses along the 5th on the next picture sold it for me!

    I definitely support the idea of making the Bestial Run available independent of stance, perhaps as a free TP.

    Also, could we tone down the breathing animations a bit? Seriously, if I try to use Huge or Huge Beast on a toon, he winds up panting like he's just finished a freaking marathon!

    I use Heroic for all my characters that don't have claws or glowy palms and Normal for the ones that do. I think I have one that uses Vixen. I'd like more poses.

    I think the current ones should be left alone (except Huge and Huge Beast could be a little tweaked, but I don't have male characters except Nemesises so I can't care that much.) I like that I can make my characters robotic if I want to, which some are. But I want all the poses from Star Trek Online added, along with the body resizing from STO where we can actually change the waist to make female characters more straight or curvy, or change the nose any way we want if we want to give our girls Roman noses and our men plastic surgery noses instead of the other way around, or just have shorter necks for any character, period.

    I don't mind all the existing stances. (EXCEPT FOR AVERAGE ON FEMALE. NOBODY walks like that, you cannot defend that.)

    But -more- stances would be really nice. I find that a lot of my female characters stick to only heroic and vixen. And my male characters just stick to Average, RARILY heroic. So I'm really only using a quarter of the stances available because the others are just too niche or they don't fit. (Or in the female average stance's case, just badly animated.) So please, the other stances from STO/NW or NPC stances that exist in game would be nice.

    You already gave us the air guitar emote and others from the other games, we're well aware you are capable of doing this. (It just might be a little extra work due to more buttons in the menus and etc.)

    You must mean the heroic walk because I use average stance and walk.

    I did this topic before...

    And yes, I still support having better idle animations, stances, and just more emotes in general.

    Do you have several level 40s?

    I can't remember which it is. I'm pretty sure it's the average walking animation that bothers me as opposed to the heroic walking animation (of which still is mildly robotic, but not nearly as bad.)

    The heroic walk is stick up bum walk, and it's.... bothersome.

    What if they also included that "flying" stance that the become doomlord and become celestial have, wrap them all up into a package and bung them on the c-store for the same price as the emote pack, sure not perfect solution, but better than nothing.

    I would love the hover stance. A pack featuring different stances would be great. If it included 4 new stances, I would spend the Zen.

    Personally, I play both male and female chars as I find some ATs to work better with genders (no offense out there but I kinda preferred my female archer costume to my male archer) and I suck at designing costumes for females tbh (I dunno , I just do...) so I go with really simple dresses or tights&hood&cape (best for archers and bladed champs IMHO ) and the vixen post isn't bad at all. But I find my male characters having a dire need of new poses as they r not that great when I create an armored tank (yes I love the dragon armor + mech assassin braces + ro'inesh sword combo) . I am forced to use the "heroic" pose which does not make me look heroic at all.

    Secondly, I think there needs to be a change with the block animation. When I block, my shield is slightly slanted to the side rather than facing the attacker.

    Buying stances? Come on! Take a look at the 100% f2p players.... Don't make things too biased or there WILL be people saying that CO is too p2p with a f2p outlook

    It is probably the only chance we have to get the stances unlocked for our characters.

    Might also want to suggest that poses don't get overwritten by certain travel powers. That would be yummy.
