Templar Spear Matching Set!

Braggar

Hello everyone. ZOS changed the Templar spear while ago. But to my surprise, only for Puncturing Sweep. Aurora Javelin, and Blazing Spear are still the same.



I care for details. The job is not entirely done. It bugs me. Am I the only one, with this opinion?

ETA

Something should happen. Old model or new model is, uhm fine by me. Point is, the set has to match in the end.

I prefer the old model.



What you guys think?

Braffin

Don´t really interest me.

I'm fine with the new version, I was fine with the former one.

I think you're right about the consistency tho. The should use the same model for all related skills.

Let this horse rest in peace, it's long dead.

Not okay with the one that's got bad lore by using an existing motif for it.

Aztrias

No I don´t want a change.

Yes I want a change.

The original spear fits with all the other Templar spears. The new one doesn't match at all and the digging motion is confusing and ugly.

If you vote yes you want a change are you wanting all three to look like the new, all three to look like the old or maybe just want something purple?

Old version makes sense...new does not

Yes I want a change.

My opinion on this is without nuance. I absolutely detest the new appearance and animation for sweeps/jabs. Old sweeps was more visually appealing and congruent with the rest of the Templar toolkit, and was fluid to use in combat as a class spammable. New sweeps is none of those things.

I'm not sure what each voting option means, but I will say this: I prefer old version of all Spears, and old version of Jabs.

The garden spade/ shovel is not nearly as aesthetically pleasing.

KlauthWarthog

Old version, please. It was an actual poking instrument, and the old jabs animation properly poked the opponents.
The new version seems barely suited to dig weeds out of a vegetable garden, and the new "jabs" animation awkwardly swoops the thing on the opponent's general direction.

Dr_Con

the animation that is done should depend on your weapon type.

Confusing poll options, old version FTW

how does it not make sense? It is timed with the change to the skill and it is easier to see when stacked in a group.

For me, it's the fact that it's inconsistent now.

I could honestly not care less about the animation. I know a lot of people don't like it, but it's pretty whatever to me. What I dislike about the new version is that they gave it a different spear model.

The other skills (including the other Aedric Spear skills not mentioned in the OP) all use the low-poly spear of light. And I like that best - it actually does end up looking like a light beam since it is not well defined as an actual object. It fits with the class very well. And now jabs got the model of a real staff (jokes aside, it's not one designed for jabbing in the first place...), so it doesn't fit with the rest of the kit.

I'd honestly be perfectly happy if they just went back to the old spear model for jabs.

Would like the old version of Jabs returned. The new one looks terrible. It feels terrible.

Jabs is a skill, not a weapon type.

And the new "spear" isn't a spear at all. It's a night hollow stave.

You will like arcanist If you haven't tried it yet.

kynesgrove

Yes I want a change.

I want everything changed to be consistent.

New Spear is lore unfriendly and sort of shovely.
Old Spear looks janky and horridly dated.

I want all classes to get a VFX overhaul. Animations too if possible.

Needs to feel as satisfying and smooth as Arcanists do.

Jaraal

Sweep is hilarious, poking and digging with a wooden vampire staff. Makes me laugh every time.

Norith_Gilheart_Flail

Yes I want a change.

For an upgraded visual they did a terrible job.

I'm fine with change. So long as it's an upgrade.

This is now Derp.

colossalvoids

Old spear model is definitely looks more like a spear, I'm more okay with it but new one has better particles, so there's a bit work for their designers instead of slapping random styles instead. They won't do it though.

Luckylancer

Yes I want a change.

The old one was fine but dated. The new one should have been done better. But imo all spear skills should use same or similar styles. They should be consistent with each other.

bmnoble

Yes I want a change.

The old model looked better to me.

Anti_Virus

Yes I want a change.

Spear shards, aurora javelin, spear charge and radial sweep ultimate should have the new spear model imo

the1andonlyskwex

Don´t really interest me.

I like the new model (and animation), and I suppose I would prefer that all the models be consistent, but it's definitely not a priority for me.

Don´t really interest me.

Moving forward, since the change happened so long ago, it is more a matter of getting used to what the current state is, rather than hoping for a reversal of design.

Ragnarok0130

Yes I want a change.

I want the old spear and old animation back. The new animation is horrible visually and from a lore standpoint. And the other spear skills are still using the old model. It's always bad to change something with no warning after 9 years. Give us back our Templar ZoS!

A bad change is still a bad change even if we've suffered with it for a year.

Master_Fluff

• Other: they should all look like the weapon our character is equipped with.

SaffronCitrusflower

I just can't get over the fact that they put a vampire staff in place of the jabs animation. Repurposing a night hollow stave in place of the templar spear animation was just lazy. They could have easily changed the timing and just left the animation the same. And why does the spear jank around the waist instead of lunge forward now anyway?
