last patch (or the one before that), Male Norn (possibly other races?) Rangers had their LB animation changed to that of a female human. I’m not sure what the reason what, or if this was intentional, but It’s kind of a weird change.

Did anyone else notice this? And, if so, which animation do you prefer?

Just checked it on my warrior.
A-Net, what have you done??? Change it back!
It looks so horrible. Looks like he has no spine at all. Why do they keep changing animations?

Edit: Just checked some old videos on YouTube. They really changed it. Norn never twisted their spine at an angle of 90 and more degrees.

Hey there,

i’m glad other ppl also noticed that longbow animations changed for male norn characters. It took me seconds to see that somethings changed, after i logged onto my norn ranger.

I posted this ( opened a new thread ) on the german ranger forums 11 days ago, but since today ppl told me they don’t know, one told me that nothing changed, but i’m absolutely sure.

No feedback from Anet so far. Seems only few other players noticed the change, the new animations look very strange and i hope Anet changes this back to the old longbow animations.

Greetings,
Maledicus.

The terrible thing is, it’s not "new". It’s the women’s animation. :-o

Yeah, I dislike the change myself. I don’t understand why A-net needed to change it in the first place? The original male Norn LB animation was great.

Has anyone heard any word from A-net at all? I’m thinking as submitting this as a bug report.

Of course not, they don’t give a kitten about animation problems. Just like they did with human women, who run like men now.
I sent in a report and got a default answer back. :/

I don’t understand, why they changed it anyway. Where is an animation the female sylvari, humans and norn use, then the male human/sylvari one (two types he swiches between) and the unique norn male animation. But now, one animation is gone and the norn lose some more of thier uniqueness towards the humans/sylvari.
