Guild Wars 2

The Bug: Using animations (emotes) will twist and distort the arms of the player model in a spiral causing them to become thin. Like twisting a towel to squeeze out water.

I have tried it on female norn, male norn, female human, male asura, and cannot replicate on anything other than the male sylvari frame

I can confirm my Sylvari’s arms twist as well, and many of the emotes are affected.

Affected Emotes

• /beckon (both arms)
• /bow (both arms)
• /cheer (both arms)
• /cry (both arms, primarily the right arm)
• /dance (both arms all throughout the dance)
• /laugh (both arms)
• /point (both arms)
• /ponder (both arms, primarily the right arm)
• /sleep (both arms, primarily the right arm)
• /yes (both arms)

Unaffected Emotes (or just not noticeably affected)

• /cower
• /crossarms
• /facepalm, /upset
• /kneel
• /no
• /sad
• /salute
• /shrug
• /sit (I think)
• /surprised
• /talk
• /thank, /thanks, /ty, /thx
• /threaten, /menace (can’t tell if the left arm is slightly twisting at the beginning or if that’s normal)
• /wave

Below shows /yes, /cry, /sleep, and /point.

In case you’re wondering, I had my pants removed to see if the legs may have been affected as well.

They were not. Only the arms twist into oldschool Runescape sausages.

here’s another of the spaghetti arm nightmare

Adding another example with my sylvari

And there’s more!

All of these showcase the horrors…

Giving this a bump because it just looks awful doing any animations affected. It needs to be fixed.

using the hobo-tron gathering tools all cause you to use /point when gathering, So i’m seeing this over and over :S

Am I the only one hearing snapping twigs and branches when I look at these pictures? lol

Maybe they just need some water?

This keeps happening to me too now. This needs to be fixed.

Yep, happening for me too!

My endgame is just filling my screenshot folder with pics of my character smooching Trahearne, and I can’t properly do that when we both have weird balloon animal arms. Please fix as soon as possible, this is devastating
