Why the Handbuff animation works different as before? Looks weird and is simply worse than before.

The animation was changed to the clubs hitting the hand first, then the minions zooming out, and if the minions were buffed before already, they zoom out first (as it was before I think), then the new minions buffed zoom out a moment later. I think the animation looks ruined right now, and I liked it a lot. Why there was so little chatting about this? like if the change didnt happen.

I'll take a look into this, see if I can find what changed - you're right, it does look rather derpy now. Thanks for the heads up! :)

Just a little reminder, it looks still bad. I think it works like it should the second time a minion is buffed. Hope it can be fixed before the goons rotate!

We finally found a fix for this! It turned out to be a scripting change that was made to account for some super funky Kingsbane behavior (so all my dreams of it being something I could fix on my own got crushed, lol). I forget which of the patches it's in, just that there's finally a working fix, so whichever one it is it'll finally stop being fugly.

Also, I admire your goons-dedication. #1 Ruffian.:)
