Guild Wars 2

All the NPC:s in the game run on 2 legs. I’d like to do that ASWELL. Please use the “in combat running animation” for 2-legs running with weapons stowed.
The option should be a “checkbox” under options or in the character menu !

I totally agree. +1

Absolutely! + 1 million.

Always considered the fact that Charr run on all 4 legs as something that makes them so different from all of the other races.

Why, its the way the race is designed, don’t like it ? don’t roll a Charr.

Better idea: make the NPC’s run on all fours when not wielding weapons.

And with the power of a toggle you could jog on your hind legs while hobnobbing in Divinity’s Reach or truck it on all fours when you hear the sound of a can opener.

I actually would like a way so I can run on four paws when using a kit, I love the animation but I’m to lazy to keep switching back to the primary weapon.

Remember the charr are the only race to kill (in the literal sense) their gods.

I would like to be able to run on 2 legs as well. It always annoys me that my charrs are standing up while running around fighting but as soon as the fight is done they drop down onto 4 legs to keep running. I can buy a race keeping to all 4s, but if they have the ability to stand on 2 legs why would they ever swap between 2 and 4?

small quote taking from their wiki “When they are moving, and their paws are unoccupied, the charr favor running on all four limbs with a loping gait”

they are still animals after all, of course they have to walk on 2 when using weapons, and prefer walking and standing straigh to show some pride and not having to “look up” at other races, but digitigrade legs arent made for “runing” on 2, just imagine the strain they should be going trough when doing so by continuously leaving all their weight to fall on their digits

thank you, I didn’t think people would care about this thread. I hope the devs sees it.

Thats not rly true. The NPC’s aswell is a huge part of the “race’s design”

Just unsheathe your weapon before running, you can bind a key for that and it doesn’t reduce your movement speed

As soon as I’m allowed to stand upright all the time.

No thats not it, not the weapon stow toggle. You wanna walk upright with weapons stowed

two legs is weak.

Also make an option for my human to run on 4, please.

Dont get it….2 legs running with weapons stowed?..then when they draw weapons they should be on 4?? How they gonna hold weapons? with their teeth and ears?

If i ever see an option to allow charrs to run on 2, for whatever reason, ill delete all my charrs and make some cabbages

Yeah, make ALL the NPCs run on all fours. The Asura would be adorable little pocket gremlins.

Of course! I’m just saying, we should limit bipedal/quadrupedal animations based on race. One Tyria, One Love!

(That and I want a Norn to run around like a puppy.)

I know, I was trying to help with what we have now.

But personally, I love the Charr running with 4 legs, feels fast for its size.

SRY for beeing unclear, if you stow your weapons while still in combat, you’re gonna see what i mean

wouldnt be the first time thats seen (KHII lion sora anyone?)

I’ve created sooo many charr only to delete them after a couple of days.
I really like the design and I love cats and my slight case of ocd wants to have at least one of each race at 80 but…

deep shameful breath

Their four legged run makes me motion sick. =(
Even on max camera distance.
It’s pitiful, I know.

Please allow an option for the two legged run to be toggled on at will.

This is the case for me aswell, lol i didn’t realize

How could a possible Toggle on/off work?
Maybe a checkbox when pressing “H”?

And this seems to be the option ANet chose!

Following HoT release I’m seeing that running gait can’t be used to tell guards apart from players beyond targetting range in WvW anymore.
