Serious talk about windmill
Comments
its forever at r9!
You're mildly offended by an animation... Of your character, while not equipped with any weapons.... Spinning around on his back and hands.... Kicking things....
Did I get that right? Honestly, I fail to see HOW you could be offended by a dance move from the 70s and early 80s that EVERYONE DID OR TRIED TO DO. Hell, that style of dancing isn't even restricted to just the US, other countries do it as well. So if you really wish to claim you are offended, please look beyond stereotypes or skin color.
All you will do is fuel the hate flames that are uncalled for on ALL SIDES.
Edit: I'd also like to point out that this exact same animation is used with Bows, Knuckles, Guns, Cylinders, Control Bars.... Pretty much every other non-melee based weapon we have. And I'm not 100% sure, but I think it does it when you have a weapon + Shield or only a single 1h weapon equipped.
I vote for the latter.
I am mostly loling at Felice. So serious. :P
I am loling at you for loling at us.
It looks lewd, especially if your character wears very short skirt...
It offends me because it's the wrong dance move. I'm a bboy, I actually practice this kind of dance. You don't spin on your back in the animation. That would be an actual windmill. You kick your legs around while balancing on your hands. It's a flare.
Also, it's not that serious. Please don't drag me into whatever drama you are living in right now.
Oh, I like you.
But in all seriousness, It's not too big of a deal. We have commerce wagons that dangle off of bridges, broken shoulders, and placement lag, just to name a few issues. I do admire your ability to notice it's incorrect, though.
I recommend looking into "Dance of Death". Relatively new skill, might wanna read up on it on the wiki. There are "add-ons" for lack of a better word called Motifs that can allow you to break dance, among other styles.
According to this: The Academy of European Swordsmanship Maybe it is derived from that practice and the designers just made Windmill a kick type skill.
