Guild Wars 2

Posting this here because I am hoping it is an odd bug and not intended. I have never seen it mentioned in any notes, and It used to be that swiftness, traits, and speed signets, etc., increased your speed not only walking forward but sideways and even backwards, but of course backwards was still the slowest overall. Now however only while moving forward is your speed increased at all by any of them.

I could have overlooked a prior post on this, but was not able to find one. I am not sure when this began, but first noticed it about 2 weeks ago, but it could have changed at anytime within a month or 2 as I have not been on much as of late.

I know that I’m not losing my mind (in this case). Easy to test no effect between with and without, walk sideways with a speed signet on, activate signet while still walking sideways no change, and the reverse as well. Or have someone give you swiftness while walking sideways. It’s never an increase in speed anymore, and this used to work fine, no matter what direction you moved.
