Blinking Eyes

General Discussion Started Last reply 22 posts
Didn't our chars eyes blink before?
They look so lifeless, now that I noticed it.

Any plans to give it back to them?
I wish they could pass gas....that would be realistic!

lol that would be awesome!
I didn't notice if the other races have stopped but kamaels never did at all :/
and when you are dead, their eyes are still open btw...

Just like real life :)
The head-turning is also gone and my wings are broken again... I seriously think they do this for fun every other update...
or maybe they speed up blink so we actually dont see it ?
and +1 for pass gas
personally, i think they move too much...
when you are resting, do you wave around frantically? no... you sit calm and relax a bit...

short of kamael... everyone moves too much.

so... when does L2 get a makeover and get super next gen graphics?

OMG!! You are an orc aren't you?

You would kill the rest of the races when you let one rip. :p

Nah one update, don't remember which, they blinked :P
Everyone try counting the amount of times a random person you are watching blinks. You will not get the count right one single time.

IRL ppl blink too fast for you to notice.

So even if in game chars dont blink, it wouldnt be "unrealistic".

Then again, this game might have bigger problems than some eyes not blinking lol.

The human brains perception is far more advanced than you want to make believe here. For example: a single frame of advertising cut into a movie will be registered by the viewers subconsciousness, even if he doesn't "notice" it.

Of course there are bigger problems than some eyes not blinking. There are always bigger problems, here or in real life. Does that mean, we must ignore the "smaller" ones?

For me, one of the most stunning features of L2 is its sheer visual beauty and taste , and by removing blinking eyes the faces get lifeless and robotic, taking away from the great immersion they otherwise deliver.

Ya, subliminal messaging doesnt make you be able to count those blinks though.

Relax a bit lol, its a game, who cares if they blink or not?
I had similiar arguments before in other mmos. There are more people like me than you would imagine I guess. I understand your point of view oc, most of the time we see our chars from behind, so why care about those eyes.

But on the other hand, if the whole matter was so neglectable, why did they implement it in the first place?
I agree, blinking would be nice, but if I had to list all of the things I think should be fixed in this game, blinking is not number one! xD
I've always wanted that you could die when you fall off a cliff and and a /push emote. I think you get it. =p
I remember the blinking thing, seemed like it got added one update then was gone with the next

DN has aoe gas, it's called Dread Pool, you try to run away from it, but you already inhale it and it affects your ability to run away fast.







........... IF it ever lands...
Gas that lands... sounds like some alien invasion :eek:

I guess it has nothing to do about landing, but(t) ppl might have corks up their noses :(
