Personality Animations Breaking at Certain Speeds

Shagreth · May 2022

I don't recall the specifics, but back in the day I remember running animations not working correctly under certain conditions. This affected thief, duchess (how's treasure hunter?) and maybe more. Anyone knows if they have been fixed? If not, I see no reason to spend my crowns.

what do you mean by "not working correctly"? Like, breaking movement speed, or like not having correct rotations, different speeds, weird twitching, playing normal instead of personality animations?

My brother uses the thief personality, I haven't seen any issues with his animations (but it's because he spends a lot of time in combat)

I believe it had to do with running animations specific to personalities not playing correctly while above a certain speed threshold.

They are working correctly.

A lot of personalities don't have animation to all movement, though. Even less so to Run or Sprint. Like Duchess only have to Walk and Jog. Jog is an odd spot most using keyboard and mouse don't get to see unless they have speed bonuses so their walk turns into a jog.

A bit annoying perhaps, but working correctly.

If you're on keyboard, the only way to see the 'jog' animation is to be RP-walking while using a speed boost, like Ring of the Wild Hunt. Also the Run animation is not the same as the Sprint animation, and very few personalities have a sprint animation included.

So yes, these are working as intended. It would be nice if more personalities included a unique sprint, but many don't even have unique movement at all.

...of course, we could always get more personalities too, ZOS. I know Personalities and Hairstyles are the two things I will throw down all of the crowns for whether I intend to use them or not.

Shagreth · May 2022

Alright, thanks. It seems to me they're poorly implemented and not exactly clear on what we're getting. I see a new run animation I expect it to work at whatever % of extra speed, no matter how silly it may look. I mean, have you seen mounts at max speed? The animation is silly but I don't see anyone complain. Anyway, yeah, new personalities & hairstyles would be amazing.

Yup.

Still waiting on Old, shy/timid, and injured personalities.

Take note long long ago we didn't have a speed cap so some things might be different

EramTheLiar · May 2022

The assassin personality run animation doesn't kick in if you get a speed boost above 18 or 20% I think. It switches from the dab/run thing it does to just regular pumping your arms.

It's not especially game breaking but I do notice it.

I cast Necro.

At this point the ONLY animation that works for personalities is standing still idle with sheathed weapon. Walking, jogging, running, sneaking, none of them work any more and just show default animations.

What's the point of having a personality at this point? Such a shame nobody is pushing to fix this.

LostScot · May 2024

The Passion's Muse personality from last year's events is particularly broken when it comes to running or jogging around. The hands get stuck pointing outwards like a go-go dancer. Not sure if other players see it or only the person with the personality enabled, either way it looks odd.

crowsperch · May 2024

Well, some of the personalities had bugs for a long time. Worm Wizard, one if my favorites, looks hideous on Khajiiti characters because their face becomes buggy and does an extreme skew. I hope they would fix personalities because they are the coolest part of the styling in ESO imo, but their problems seem to be overshadowed by other gamebreaking bugs.

Lazarus_Rising · May 2024

Worm Wizard is still bugged. As soon as you increase the base movement speed it changes the animation. The personality also got a running animation so its clearly a bug.

Thief Personality: (Crowns/ Real Money)

The custom jog animation doesn't work with any addition to movement speed caused by traits, race, armor passives and CP.

Assassin Personality: (Reward for visiting the gold coast)

The custom jog animation for the assassin personality suffers the same way as the thieves personality.

Muse Personality: (Event Tickets/ Real Money)

Both the flower from /ritual and the harp from /lute get stuck inside the character if your character performs ANY other animation at the same time, causing you to end up either impaled by an instrument or constantly glowing just by opening your inventory until you log out. Furthermore the glowing flower is part of the automatic idle set and the most annoying thing to have ever been automated.

Furious Personality: (Crowns/ Real Money)

Causes male and female orcs to suffer from clipping in the facial area. The mouthcorner of orcs splits and the result is unpleasant to look at.

Commander Personality: (Crowns/ Real Money)

Breaks the shoulders of all female models when displaying the idle animation. Frankly, you gotta have a look at it, it's hard to be put into words.

Treasure Hunter Personality: (Crowns/ Real Money)

If /read is being interrupted while having any type of staff equipped, the flame of your torch will remain floating next to you. Allowing some players to scatter dozens of animated, floating flames at more populated locations causing FPS drops for others.

Worm Wizard Personality: (Achievement Reward/ DLC Dungeon)

This personality causes khajiit player models of any slider range and gender to have their broken eyelid to clip even worse then without any personality equipped. The khajiit model has been suffering from this issue since the dawn of this game and if you take a long lasting look at Ember, you'll thanks to her usage of Darloc Braes golden eyes see how incredibly bad it looks. (Ember looks already uncanny as hell even without suffering from this issue.)

Also this personality is dealing with the same issue in regards of character speed as the thief and assassin personality.

Master of Schemes Personality: (Current Ticket Reward/ Real Money)

Just as many other cosmetics, the master of schemes personality has not been adjusted to female models and it's common idle has the crossed arms rest on a chest, that no slider magic imaginable is capable of generating. Instead of displaying a more intimidating version of /armscrossed your female character will start to imitate Jeannie from the TV-series "I dream of Jeannie".

Did I forget anything?

Greetings,
