Highlander running animation.. | Forums

Am i the only one that thinks he should run diferent??...waited so long to see a dash like the main character in Sword of the Berserker!!and i got this! looks kinda stupid holding the sword like that, a massive sword that weights who knows how much and he holds it in front of him at chest high like it was a club,it puts so much unnecesary stress to the arms, it clearly looks he struggles with the weight of the sword si why run in a way that makes you grow tired??a sword that massive and heavy holding it perpendicular it would ttend to fall frontwards!!!Imagine Shugoki running like that!!.. i know..
Highlander should run with is sword on the back holding it with the right arm, doing so he puts the weight directly to the shoulder making it more viable to run great distances and NOT to tired the arm muscles,just like he does on Offensive Stance,he waits the right time to unleash the attack using the shoulders memento!! imagine him running like that and doing a attack!! please change this muy lovely DEVS!!

I'll let them know. It's definitely more of a wish-list type of item since changing that would require a full running animation rework, but we can keep it in mind for the future

I've noticed, whilst lingering on zones in Dominion, when walking the Highlander he does sometimes rest his sword more on his right shoulder, leaving his left hand by his side. Of course there's also some emotes and idle animations that has him doing it, so perhaps some of these animations could just be worked into his running stance?
'Cause I agree, it looks more natural when he rests the sword on his shoulder than just holding it in front of him.

Totally Agreed with this.

His running animation is very2 lame. He looks like an old man carrying a huge amount of groceries.

I've thought he looked stupid while running since day 1. It makes no physical sense. Who would run like that?

His beard gives his arms strength.
