Im super early but im hyped already!
So nitpicky bro lol
Dual wield stance and twinblade stance
No one said it in the chat, and I assume it was corrected later but just to be sure: the reason the blue mode didn't use the blue gauge is because he pressed the mandatory "gain one use of my gauge on a 2 minutes CD" every class has now, and in DT they're reworking all of those to allow a use for free instead of adding it to the gauge. Everything's working as intended in the trailer, it's just not super clear because you can't see the buffs/bar.
I've been worried viper will just be reaper 2.0 and it's just build gauge then go into enshroud crazy fast mode and not have any complexity to it and you fall asleep, but the gauge glowing differently could mean there is more to it. We wont know untill release but I'm praying it's got more to it and not a reaper version for ninja.
I'm going on a limb here.Let's call it the venom gauge
There are poisonous animals that are both orange and blue. Maybe that's what they were going for?
I do wonder if Viper is going to have a reduced GCD (similar to MNK), considering how fast their attacks are going out in the trailer.
I am REALLY happy with the improved animations. The launch trailer didn't impress me AT ALL. Looked like they rushed it to show off the new job, then came picto with these badass animations in their launch trailer… It felt like they just pushed out viper in a hurry. Now with these full animations, it looks phenomenal. I am really excited to try it out now. Yoshida describing the mechanics made it seem a bit like a headache for my simple ass mind lol but I want to try it out.
I'm all for faster button pressing…if the servers are fucking better and more responsive.
I kinda agree with the gripe about the gauge and how they've split the blades, what they could do is have them split long-ways and I think that could look better
I really do not get the nit-picking of the gauge. Cause I was under the impression that the whole point behind the weapon is how uniform it is and that it is symmetrical. Which is likely what they were doing for the gauge in itself.
Honestly I would find it jarring if one blade was one color and the other was different. That seems off putting. To each their own. 🤷🏿♂️
Very
Important
Positionals
the gameplay kinda feels like reaper but much faster which is exactly what I want
I was SUPER excited about Viper when it was first announced, because it's the perfect aesthetic for my character (I based her on a d&d npc I came up with awhile back who was a dual wielding dex fighter, echo knight), but this is almost literally just reaper 2, and reaper is already……… Mid.
As the Viper you spend the Cleaning Fluid Gauge to vash and vipe the vindows.
