I like the animation. Especially how our body/legs perfectly follow the movement. I think that the fact that each different animal has their own set of rider animations (guar, horse, senche, now bear...) is amazing if you consider that most games (cough cough WoW) have the same generic and stupid "sitting still" animation for most mounts for years. Even when you're flying. So stupid.

Bear animation looks awkward for the same reason people don't normally ride bears in real life: because riding a bear isn't an easy thing.

Neither is manifesting balls of fire out of a wooden stick or lunging 20m and performing a 2h sword overhead blow in one motion but we expect that to look badass in games (even if ESO only manages it so-so).

Bears dont have any kind of smooth gait.Just watch one run.I have,while out hunting with my Father. They have that rolling lope going on.

I too was surprised by my dislike for the visuals of riding the bear at top speed, yet it's true that that is how bears move. I've liked bears from youth and essentially shouldn't be surprised.
Since bears and wolves have a common ancestry, I do look forward to the prior mentioned wolf type mount, with the idea it'll ride like a senche yet be a dog instead of cat.
Still looking out for a wamasu or rootworm mount for my native black marsh travels

I am SO glad I bought my panther mount! Nice and smooth right with that awesome sound of paws in motion.

I bought the mount back at the day.. Have used it since only couple times and now again when i was planning to use it on new warden.... But the animation is so bad.. Well not the animation itself, its pretty fluid but the total lack of natural movement on character makes it so bad to look at and i dont want my character to have spinal column breaking to pieces at level 3.

Characters head should move a bit more with the body to make it more natural.
