One has to wonder what the animators are doing that would supercede working on combat animations. I was under the impression that combat was the most important aspect of this game.
Not that these animation changes would truly matter, since they would still adhere to the inherently flawed """physics-based""" system. Chamber blocking might be made more viable with these changes, but it will never become fully consistent.
At this point, I also hoped that TW would let go of the idea that one should to 'prepare' to chamber. (Maximizing the chances that your weapon would collide with your opponent's by first blocking and then attacking.) I find it extremely hard to believe that high level play would make use of this tedious process, especially considering how there will always be the possibilty for it not to work. Safer, more reliable options will be prioritized instead.
Regardless, thank you for letting us know. Communication has been outstanding lately.
