Guild Wars 2

Characters in GW2 are really really well animated, it’s one of the things that makes it really fun for me to play, however I find that the lack of animation for swiftness kind of a bummer. Instead of just increasing the speed of the regular running animation and adding some white/yellow lines to indicate how fast we are, why not make actual sprinting animation for swiftness? Some different leg-work and forward leans could really be cool, for example like how warriors have the Rush skill, movement really looks great there on humans and really stand out on charrs, why not use these or create similar animations for when we move with the swiftness buff?

It’s a good idea. I hope they adds new animation for swiftness.

This will be hilarious for characters with swiftness who are also crippled/chilled.

No it wont really, both of those effects have their own animations and much like it is now they will have priority while retaining the speed of swiftness.
