• Adding thematic moods and styles to all existing classes, new animation packs. . Purchasable via pearlshop.

 I believe adding the character paradigms to all classes to tweak attitude would be a great addition to the game.

This can be done via animation packs that portray the character in a new light. Packs in categories could include:

Villian animation pack

Hero animation pack

Serious animation pack

Lazy animation pack

for example:

When you consider this, try to imagine the warrior with his super stale looking run, boring block, and cliche idle stances. If he were to have more animation packs, he could get new run/walk sword positioning, new block bolsting and angles, and better relaxed idle stances. 

the same methods go for all other classes too. 

All I want is an actual idle animation for mainhand OG classes.

Would love this! This has always worked incredibly well in other MMOs. Would love to see something like that here in BDO, where character customization and animation are everything~

Really like this, but only out of combat. If it changes how they look when fighting, it might make it harder to identify a class by sight. Yea, weapons and silhouette go a long way, but when you only have a split second to respond in pvp situations, being able to recognize attack paterns quickly is crucial. BDO has a ton of class, and has more on the way, so this could quickly turn into a monster of a project for the dev team and a serious pain in the ass for pvpers.

I'd suggest taking the animation packs you mentioned and applying them to idle animations and the existing emotes, that way they can be applied to everyone at once (basically a drag and drop that theoretically should work on most, if not all, of the character rigs). You should also be able to choose one when creating a new character, with the option to unlock more via the pearl shop. I'm generally opposed to locking too many customization options behind a pay wall, but this would be a happy medium.

Here is my original post I migrated from old forums. 

The idea of this has always been on my mind since I started this game back in 2015.
