New Stealth Animation

Sythias · March 2015

Is anyone else disappointed in the new stealth animation?

While not moving, it looks fine, but the walking animation is pretty bad. I love the effort to polish all the animations, but I really don't like waddling around like a penguin while trying to assassinate people in cyrodiil!

EDIT: It actually looks okay when you're moving really slowly, aka walk speed or without Night Stalker/concealed passive. It just looks so funny when you're moving so quickly.

Yeah, the fade thing is a nice touch, but the movement doesn't look very stealthy - more like you have a back issue and a rock in your shoe.

The night stalker fade is definitely another gripe I have. I like being able to look at my character while crouching, and not an anonymous black mass.

Im okay with new animation. What i would like to be remove ASAP, is the new sounds added to normal stealth and Shadow barrier passive that got stupid sound added to it.

These new sounds involved with non ability sneaking need to go away

Out of curiosity, are you using any stealth speed passives or set bonuses?

The issue isn't the animation when it's slow, only when you're moving at normal running pace while stealthed.
