Guild Wars 2

…is the running animation now different with weapons out, at least for females? It seems…springier.

It just immediately felt different after the patch. I like it, but I don’t know – am I going completely mad?

No, it’s not just you. My human female ranger is bouncing quite happily along, with a much springier step than before.

It looks pretty silly with a sword.

I thought the same thing, It’s not just you. I really don’t like the change.

Glad to see I’m not the only one. My Engineer was never springy while using a kit and my thief with Daggers just looked odd running. I really don’t like this at all. Also I read the patch notes , but I didn’t see any changes to this. Unless it was worded differently.

More spring! Now if I could just have my cute jumping sounds back …

I noticed the change too. The bottom of my armor set ( Norgu’s armor ) looks different when my female character runs. I think this running style looks similar to the one you would previously get after your character had been hit. She would run slower for a while and have this different animation.

:O
I made my first human 4 days ago and i noticed the run was really bouncy aswell :o.
I played human in the beta, and i was surprised i neer noticed.
