New animation system backfiring?

[Quickening]

Honestly, the new battle engine has really done anything BUT making the battle with a "Wow" factor...

Battles are now supremely slow-paced and boring, with the hideous problem of the "anti-blobbing clipping" and the nearly total lack of any kinetic energy in the game.

Hard to see any "epic" or "wow" part in this. Animations are great and smooths but completely devoid of any energy, violence or the like.

Bleh :-/

As opposed to what? The utterly dull MTW fighting or the slow and repetitive RTW fighting?

There is nothing wrong with the combat in the game.

As opposed to the dynamic fight of RTW.
The problem in RTW was the killing speed, the lack of morale (insta-rout) and the powerful cavalry, not the lack of animation or feeling of battle.
Also, for "cheaters", the "big blob" exploit.

Powerful cavalry suits medieval times, the killing speed is even worse in MTW2, morale is something that simply can be easily modded, and the blobbing was fixed in a way that made the battle lethargic, boring, and broking half the combat mechanics.

It's odd. It's almost as if everyone is playing a totally different game sometimes. I personally have no issues with the combat and although it's true that charges lack the punch they had in Rome, I find the combat gratifying. Just fifteen minutes ago I watched as my general knock someone to the ground and ram his sword down in him

I actually find the cavalry in this game easier by far to use than in MTW or RTW. I don't know what everyone's complaining about. In MTW I used to field armies with little or no cavalry, and now I actually bring Heavy Cav by choice.

This may seem repetative: What is everyone complaining about? Sure some battles get messed up because of retarded units but I'd rather have my calavry slaughtered by spearmen then be massacared by a Jedi.

I have seen minor problems like this, but only on a few units (individuals) at one time, other then that its fine. Most of the time in a battle you are zoomed out, so you do not notice the visual bug.

hmmm.. nice hat val. I guess we can finally discuss this alot easier when the "day 0 patch" comes out. It's been some time now. Haven't heard anything.. when will it come CA????
