Far too many animation problems in PvE

Several times i have seen numerous animation issues in this game.
From simple items such as other players sprinting while mounted on their horse/mount, to players (myself included( mounted and half way in the floor.
The worst is in dungeons and trails, numerous times i have seen NPCs rush towards the tank in a dungeon, then stand still and do nothing for a couple of seconds, then suddenly my character dies. Death recap shows that specific NPC did a "special mechanic" and 1 shot killed my character.
A good example is doing Ruins of Mazzatun, where i was behind a stoneshaper NPC, and my character just died, death recap shows a shield bash for 33K damage. No warning, no animation, just died. The same with the sludge slingers, saw one charge at a group mate, then stopped half way in the charge and killed that player.
In almost any dungeon we do, from Banished Cells to Falkreath Hold, there is bound to be some animation issues, it would not be a big deal, but some friends still need no death runs here or there and you can imagine how frustrating it becomes when one faces such animation issues.
I remember even on Thursday vMOL 1st boss, he just froze for 3 seconds or so before the shield phase and then we all just died. Apparently the boss did start his shield phase, but since he was standing still we did not prepare ourselves, no aoes on out characters, just took max damage and died.
Anyone else experience some really messed up and frustrating animation issues? Surely i can not be the only one, am i?

✭✭✭✭✭1. Which platform and server?
2. With multiple people effected, that seems less likely to be lag, but this also sounds a lot like the lag some players experience in PVP, with the freezing and then being dead.0 -

ZoM_Head✭✭✭✭Here is a silly example that just happened on my mSorc a few moment ago.
You can see the fishing hole in front of the character, yet the line was thrown behind (if you look closely), this is the first time i see this specific animation issue, but just an example i caught.

Yeah, I've been aiming for master angler on a 2nd character andthe fishing animations are all messed up. Though its hilarious when the fishing pole renders instead of my swords and I whip an imp to death with my fishing pole.0 -
Marginis✭✭✭✭✭Dammit don't take all the skill out of roleplay! Right now it takes a good player to make it so your immersion isn't shattered every ten seconds. We don't need to dumb it down just cuz noobs want to be able to RP walk!
Seriously though there are some animation things that should probably be fixed. Especially in combat. Even with server-side/client-side connectivity/lag being a factor there must be something that can be done to help.@Marginis on PC, Senpai Fluffy on Xbox, Founder of Magicka.
