Same here, though I might have just never played my human enough to notice whatever change has taken place.
The human women no longer run like they have a stick up their butt, and instead run extremely similar to human men. I’ve also heard that female characters with large breasts suffer from bouncing mammary syndrome.
Personally, I prefer the new running animation. I also don’t have a model with a large chest, so I don’t see the other part.
op this is not the first time the running animation has changed- the one now is more like it was before it was changed the time before.
I prefer this one since it looks a lot more natural and the previous one had a very strange hop going on with the arms pinned to the sides- now at least it looks like my humans are actually going somewhere when they run- instead of just hopping in one spot
Re: people who rather the old animation;
You can really tell who doesn’t run in real life. I rather like the female human running animation, it’s a hell of a lot more realistic than it was before (coming from someone who chose the mose realistic of the ridiculous female Human body shapes).
But this being said, a dream of mine is to be able to select your custom animation sets. I’d love to be able to chose between the animations that Sylvari, Norn and Humans have respectively.
(Although I don’t know how it would function with Asura…can’t imagine these things would bother someone who plays Asuran anywho.)

I thought it was cute and had a lot of style to it. And yes, I do miss it. Some people have suggested it was ‘just’ the arms, and there was more to it than that, and you described it well. Though, not with the same affection I would have described it.
And yes, I also suggested they add a feature to just let us pick. I mean, they have the two methods now, it could just be an attribute like hair color. Later, they could add runs for other sex/race combinations. A skipping Asuran would be hilarious. What a great thing to sell in the gem store.
But I do miss it. The thing that is more baffling to me is the complete lack of communication on it. Something prompted the change, what was it? Why was there never a patch note, developer blog, CM post on a 1000+ post of outrage over the old animation? I saw ‘none’ of that.
I tried asking support, and was dismissed and ‘effectively’ ignored by suggesting I come here and post to get an official response, like that would happen.
So (almost) every day, I just keep submitting in game bug reports on it. I’m sure they all get a good laugh at my expense, and that’s fine, I guess. Wouldn’t be anything new.
For those who wanted a comparison between the old one and the new one!

Ah i see. Had to watch a couple times to see it. Not sure what to make of it. Never did like the bounce.

Thank you for posting this, I was never able to tell what people were talking about when the posts about the change started showing up. Even watching the video it’s hard for me to see the difference unless I only watch the arms.
The new animation is better.
Agreed with the last three posters. Personally like the ‘new’ animation more, but way too little a difference to understand the fuss.

Eh, if you really played a female human most of your time in this game you would feel/see/whatever the difference and a lot of people really don’t like it. I know I don’t, although I’ve sort of accepted the fact it’s going to stay the way it is, it looks really awkward in a lot of armor sets.
What has length of time played got to do with anything? Are you saying people who have played a female human since beta are more qualified to have an opinion on the matter? Are you saying they have the only correct opinion?
I’d say that those that can be this nit-picky are a little bit too invested in a bunch of bytes sitting in a database on some server somewhere. They should probably get out of their basements a little more… /obvious sarcasm

It’s not about having a “correct” or “better” opinion, it’s about some people being used to something and then having it changed. People who have played female human characters more/longer are going to be the ones who really noticed the change. People like myself who haven’t played human until recently will generally hardly notice anything.
I get that, Ashes! Shanna’s post¹ was laced with evocative wording though, giving me an impression I had to ask clarification about. Just a straw poll in this thread shows that the minority dislikes the new animations, a good portion is ambivalent, while the majority likes it.

And what they said is true, I don’t understand where you are pulling this horrible offense from. I’ve run into very few people who have mained a human female for forever and like the change. Most of the people who like it seem to be newer players.
All they said was that if you had played for a long time you would noticed, and that a lot of people don’t like it. which is true. They never claimed anything about those people having more important opinions or even that most people like or dislike the change. They just stated a fact.
The new animation looks much much better imo. More realistic.

I never liked the old one and I’m glad they changed it. Now it actually looks like she puts some effort into running. Oh and stop assuming people who like the new one are new or don’t play human female. I noticed it the moment it changed and I was happy with it. I also didn’t see anyone complain about it ingame. This feels like loud minority case.
Been playing exclusively humans since beta.
The new one looks much better in my eyes. Less helpless-little-girl and more of someone who is actually trying to make an effort to kick some kittens.

I too would really like to see a return to the original running animation. It perfectly suited my young, feminine, slim and beautiful character.
Now I realize that a few prefer their ugly fatties with man-jaws; just don’t force your choices on me.
So at the very least they should give us the option to go back to the original running animation.

if you’re referring to FemNorns, they look more feminine than most of the pre-pubescent Human “women” I see while playing this game
It wasn’t feminine before. It was over-exaggerated cutesy bordering on pathetic schoolgirl.

I didn’t even notice the change. As such I am extremely indifferent.
