ALL (non)sprinting animations are bad now.

Woah! The Crash Bandicoot transformation is complete! First the goofy jump animation, now this! Oh boy.

Sprint animations for your character will no longer be incorrectly played as a result of increasing movement speed to high levels.

Wait. This is intentional? Please tell me it's bugged. WW ice skating looks silly as hell. Same for all the personalities.

Somebody post the Jester personality run on test! I gotta see this.

Funny enough, that's one of the better looking personalities with this change. Seems ZOS wants us to all be clowns.

My tiger mount walking with major gallop does a goofy-looking slow sprint instead of a walk. I haven't checked it out on PTS though but I'm hoping at least that is fixed.

What we need is way to choose our speed regardless of our buffs. If I toggle WALK I want to be able to walk at normal speed.

I will say that there's a reason I specifically don't have 'Continuous Assault' on unless I'm trying to do something in Cyrodiil, and even then I respec it off immediately after I'm done.

I believe with these changes, it does end up making mounts look more reasonable, especially if you've got Major Gallop on. However, I don't think the answer to "my mount looks weird" is "let's fix the mounts by making unmounted movement look even worse!"

I don't have a chance to check the PTS, but was this issue fixed for werewolves and players with the recent PTS update that was about movement speed?

Wow, this looks stupid.

From what I'm seeing on the PTS, yes, it all seems fixed.

I was just about to say "it's not likely since they usually address patch X.0 issues in the X.2 patch," but then I reread the patch notes and saw I missed that line. So I went to check, and...

maybe? I think so? It's definitely looking nowhere near as bad on my end. Can someone else check to confirm?

I at least am running through with a werewolf, and it doesn't look like total slippy slidey ice world anymore. The RP walk doesn't seem to match 1:1, but it's pretty close, and my speed-boosted wolf is going into the all-fours sprint animation without me pushing the sprint button again so I don't have the ridiculousness of last patch. And after checking Live, it's looking the same.

More importantly, the jester waddle animation seems to be back if you RP with Wild hunt, so it looks like the animation chosen is back to depending on move speed so fast walking does show the 'jog' animation for M&K players again. That does also mean that if he's wearing Assassin/Thief and not 'sprinting,' he'll fall back into the default sprint animation because he's moving fast enough and those personalities don't have custom sprint animations.
...so if I want to see him run with those personalities, I just take off the speed boost and it's back.

I'd hope someone else can check, but it's looking pretty well fixed from my end.

That's great to hear, though I'll have to verify for my own sanity when I get off work lol

Does that mean my boosted male alts will look like they are sprinting again?

Milanesa_Napolitana · July 2023

Also sucks that some personalities with unique walking animations won't show if you have speed passives, even when just slow walking.

Panderbander · July 2023

It has been fixed! (or reverted, w/e)

Thank the Divines!

Yeah, definitely was reverted which... actually doesn't bode well. Like, I'm glad it doesn't look the way it did but it seems their habits lately are to try stuff out with the general populous and if people complain about quality their fix is to just roll it back and not bother instead of... actually fixing it?

That's a fair point but honestly at this point I'm just relieved that the original monstrosity is out of the way. I'm also happy that they actually did something about this BEFORE it hit live and existed for a minimum of two weeks before maybe being fixed.

Fortunately we can take off those passives to see the animations. Wanting to see the animations at speed is NOT worth coating Tamriel in a thin layer of ice and making everything else look completely ridiculous.

And as we said, for anyone who plays on mouse and keyboard, 'RP walk with speed increase' is the only way to see the 'jog' animations on some of the other personalities.

To me it DOES bode well because they actually listened to feedback and changed it during the PTS cycle BASED ON PLAYER FEEDBACK. Do you know how rare that is?

Fair enough. And yes. I know how rare that is indeed. I don't even bother posting /feedback in-game in the PTS anymore. Just not worth my time.

Whew. I'll be real: pages 1 and 2 of this thread really worried me. Then I got to page 3, saw that the change had been reverted, and experienced actual, bona fide catharsis. :-D

What a rollercoaster for werewolf fans, haha. Now tell me that they're undoing the destruction staff nerfs (which are not needed, given how many meta builds already tell you to ditch them for melee weapons). No, please... tell me sweet lies. :-P

They are totally undoing the staff nerfs (this is a sweet lie, and one that I wish to believe myself)
