Guild Wars 2

A small word of thanks to Anet for the new greatsword animations for female norns when auto attacking, I really like it, much more strength in each blow. Much more suitable for norn than the human autoattacks we had before.

Well done !

yes I noticed, thanks so much for this awesome change

I noticed it as well – not sure I like it but better than the old animation

I noticed as well! Pretty nice. Now if they could improve the run that’d be kitten.

my swings feel so powerful now!

I heard in map chat that is had changed but did not expect much though I decided to test it anyways

Mother of god

The animation is AMAZING, I especially love the second swing where she uses 1 hand and then follows it up with a overhead for the third swing.

It just feels so very norn now.

Animation really good. However, it seems to me a little edgy. “Ragged”. I would like to ask the developers to make it a little smoother

THANK GOD. I thought i was going insane, when i ask a guildies about it he said the animation was like this from the start so i thought i was crazy for feeling it was different.

BTW, the new animation looks nice, feel very forceful but yea as Megazlo said its still kinda clunky.

was going to make the topic but it’s here already

love the new animation it has great WEIGHT to it, and changing the last hit to a vertical instead of horizontal slash seems much more visually engaging than it was before.

also like the 1 handed touch as mentioned before

SOMEONE BUY YOUR ANIMATOR A BEER

I only have two issues with it:

1. It’s still pretty “unsmooth”
2. She does the first swing with two hands, the second with one hand and the third with two hands again…Looks really weird.

One thing i did notice is that my greatsaw now sits like 2 feet higher on my character’s back. I’m not sure if its an optical illusion but it looks smaller now too…

wait… you mean I can finally buy a great sword???? I haven’t used one since … oh… idk… day 2 or 3

It’s quite nice. But whats happend to the run animation while holding the greatsword? Ugly as hell…..
