did this always happen?
It has always happened, but rarely.
There was a thread in the warrior sub-forums about it at some point in the recent past…
… iirc, the consensus was this phenomenon is where those seeking balance within the game can find it.

It happens, occasionally. Seems to correct itself after a certain amount of time. /shrug
There are certain places where you can trigger this bug with a fairly high level of consistency. Theres a gap somewhere in the animation routines that essentially cause IK to break, which is why its not being used in that scene. Certain animations or actions will expose this gap, and it will stick until theres a reason for the system to do another IK check (like touching a surface that has a different angle, jumping, starting or stopping a run/walk cycle).
There was a spot on the hill that the Shatterer foot zerg would camp on that I could get to do this like 90% of time. But its been so long, I can’t remember where it is.
