Update 48: The Discount Animation Update

    The new Crit Charge animation is awkward and terrible on PTS Update 49. There's a bad, side angle awkward slice that leaves your character looking like he'd be slaughtered by a counter after he completes the move. The transition from this move to a light attack is... embarrassing.

    It's pretty bad. Try it.

    How about you start fixing the bugged animations you guys broke instead of "reworking" the perfectly fine animations whe have now.

    You can't keep slapping new paint on forever. C'mon man this game deserves better.

    Your character no longer does the animation when you use the jester dazzler firework.

    Please at least fix the bosses turning away at the very last second of their (blockable) heavy attack.

    It's super confusing and makes the tank think they lost taunt last second of a possible one-shot. KINDA GAME BREAKING!!

    Combat animation is so messed up now. My character constantly does disturbing twists that are probably not even humanly (or bosmerly) possible. It looks awful.

    Just got done doing Crypt of Hearts and if the boss hits you you're supposed to get stunned and fall on the ground. Now you do a weird slo-mo walk backwards.

    I pray that ZOS gets their priorities in check and starts fixing what they broke.

    I just LOVE how I'm unable to tell if I'm stunned or not, since the animation won't play.

    This issue is caused by add-ons 99% of the time

    This one is definitely a bug with animation-cancelling right at the time you're getting stunned.

    @Marto You are wrong. These bugs were introduced after update 48 and have nothing to do with addons or animation canceling.

    The only animation cancelling that is happening here is done by ZOS themselves >:)

    You can temporarily fix most of the issues with forceful camera rotation caused by addons by opening and closing the crown store. That seems to reset things.

    For any more permanent fix than that, you'll have to dig around the settings of your addons, specially anything that modifies the rotation of the character, anything that creates new menus, or edits existing menus.

    These rotation issues happen after new updates because add-on authors don't always update their addons. It's nothing on ZOS' end. But you can check the ESOUI website forums, and see if anyone released and unofficial update.

    @Marto This has nothing to do with addons...
