I wonder, who else doesn’t like norn’s male animation while he is running with 1h. weapons. Because I made a topic here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Male-s-running-animation-with-1h-weapons/first#post1851931

and nobody answered. And I thought. Am I the only one here? How could the rest be okay with such animation with male while running with 1h. weapons. Especially when female has better animation.

Isn’t it bothering you?

Seize the day.

I dont like the Norn animations because they look very stiff and inflexible, unlike the charrs

The main problem I have with Norn animations is that they do not look strong. Norn were originally the strongest race in Tyria, but for balance purposes they must be equal. I understand that. However, most of the animations seem shared or similar to Humans (and Sylvari). I’d like to see some strong stances added to the animations. Have Norns wield greatswords on their shoulder and swing it with a single hand. At least then it would appear that Norns are doing it to “handicap” themselves into being of a similar strength to the other races. I’d like to feel like a wall of flesh, a juggernaut, the Hulk, etc., because I look like I should rather than a rehash of already used animations.

The norn female need to hold the greatsword upright unlike the slack look currently in place. Other races are one thing but all norn should hold their weapons with more prominence. I mean, hammer is upright and that thing has a 100 lb weight on the end of a skinny stick so why is that held high and the GS isn’t? I was happy a long time ago when they adjusted female norn attack animations but I’m atill not impressed with the stance. Well there’s my two cents.

Also on the golem copy/paste thing yeah that just looks odd.

I am very dissapointed that they didnt change the run yet, it is so ugly and completely not kitten, norn are supposed to be the kitten race imo but when they run they seem to have no idea what they are actually doing. and the humans have a super kitten run. and arenanet, if ur going to change the norn run, then dont forget to also change the sylvari male running animation, they just suck.

Exactly. Seeying my norn warrior running holding the greatsword in asura fashion and then swinging it with just one hand would be awesome _
They need to add much more weight to norn animations, they feel like giants plushies more than giant men (and women).

Also, fix the running with 1h, cuz holding the sword by the END of the hilt it’s EXTREMELY annoying ( just like with charrs male.)

Norn females have higher grade animations, tattoos, voices, hairstyles, physiques and faces. Norn males are the lowest quality characters I have ever seen in any paid for MMO. Im just used to them being disappointing at this stage to be honest.

Was never blown away by the Norn animations but after seeing some of the Asura animations I downright hate them now (actually the Asura animations will put pretty much every other race to shame imo). The Norn dance compared to the other races is just a short, cheap thrill, their dodge animation is just horrendous (especially compared to the asura), their jump animation is laughable, I don’t mind the female run animation, female gs auto (melee) animation is cringe-worthy and guardian sw #2/warrior sw burst(forgot the name) is meh (was green with envy after seeing the Asura’s corresponding animation) etc etc.
As someone mentioned the Norn animation lack impact and originality-they obviously had fun w/the Asura and Charr animations, gave the humans mundane ones that simply got the job done then the Norn got the left overs. They don’t feel powerful, imposing, heavy, visceral but rather weak, clumsy, floaty and uncomfortable. As a matter of fact if they released new animation packs, fairly priced and UNIQUE to each race I’d be interested…yes…I have grown to dislike the Norn animations to that degree that I’d pay to have the option to change them.

Funny enough, initially I had hoped that your choice of ‘ferocity/charm/dignity’ in your character creation would influence your character animations and demeanor (it just popped into my head the first time I heard it)…seems my hopes were a tad too high.

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.
