I run strangely now with a staff since the update!

Hullo. I just logged in after downloading the latest update and after fiddling with my addons and settings that always get messed up with every major patch i noticed that
whilst running (sprinting seems unchanged) with the staff in hand has been changed to this...

"That's looks normal!" you might say.. Well.. the upper half of the body hardly animates anymore.. No swinging the staff to and frow slightly (although this still happens when you move left and right or backwards)

The way my character moves forwards now with staff out reminds me of an anime film (and not in a good way)

EDIT: I have also just noticed that this onll seems to happen when holding a bosmer style staff. Whilst holding my Altmer staff it behaves normally..

EDIT2: Doh, just noticed its nothing to do with the style of the staff, just whether it is a resto staff. As my Altmer staff is destro.

    Yup. It looks awful and basically stupid.

    I have reported that on the PTS server. I like the old way much better. Do not know why ZOS changed that.

    It looks like the S+S animation, tbh. It happens on my khajiit staff also.

    I found i run normally whilst holding my Altmer staff, so it might be just an item problem rather than a sweeping change.

    Doh! It's nothing to do with the style. It's just resto staffs.

    I was running around doing a quest where you have to kill 4 things when they are in a specific position (in Deshaan where you cleanse a temple of Daedra) and hence spent about 40 minutes with my staff out. I had not noticed this with her destruction staff.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Ahh, interesting. I had thought it a new animation for staves in general as I hadn't busted out a Destruction Staff yet.
    He will bring life to the dead, hope to the living, and for him the Gate will open.

    @ZOS_GaryA‌ are you also aware of the camera automatically switching out of 1st person to 3rd person when sprinting with the staff as well?

    @Cuyler Yep! Looking into that as well. It's been added to the known issue tracking thread too. It's pretty general on there, but we are aware of the camera issue as well.

    Oh thank the Divines this is unintended. I died a little inside when I saw my Sorc running like they had a wet one in their pants and were trying not to spread it around! XD

    This is a real eye opener in a way. It only shows how unnecessarily complicated they made this game. This is why things break so easily and it takes them so long to figure how it broke and then fix it. Of course once they fix it two more things will end up broken. Some cosmetic some game breaking. I'm really losing faith in this company. This is is their first MMO (technically first game) and probably their last at the rate their going.

    LOL sorry, flashback to something a substitute high school geometry teacher once said to our class. It has been some years now, but the awkwardness of that moment still lingers! XD

    I wanted to point out that I AM in favor of having the animation of Resto be somewhat different from Destro.

    I think what they were going for here is an effect that makes your character look a little more defensive. This is in line with the ability to look at your enemy and "size them up" to get an idea of what sort of fight you are in for.

    I just think they need to loosen it up a little is all. The animations I mean. No connection to my previous post whatsoever. :p
