Guild Wars 2

When I use teleport (elementalist) or blink (mesmer) in some occasions it buggs the character animation and the character seems to “glide” in the end of the teleport animation.

It basically shows the animation of the character standing still at the end of the teleport, but while the character is walking/running. It looks like my chars are skiing.

It’s probably an old bug (and it’s not that big of an issue), but it would be nice if to have it corrected though :]

Same bug that can happen when you take fall damage, your character hits the floor flat and starts to glide on it’s stomach. Usually until he falls off of the next cliff to his death Annoying as hell.

Yes it’s an old bug (can’t recall where it was reported) and you can simply use an emote to “fix” it. It’s merely a glitch then I’m sure it’s not in their top priority list maybe.

Dodges also break the glide animation.

This bug also can happen with the Thief’s Shadowstep skill. I think this happens if and only if your character doesn’t have their weapon drawn when you use the skill. Since the character is activating a skill they draw their weapon immediately afterwards, but they end up locked in the “ready for combat” pose rather than continuing to run. You can even tap one of the strafe keys to get out of the gliding animation.

I’d guess this is some sort of problem with the order in which the character’s pose is changed. A reasonable and possibly easier fix would be to set the character’s weapon to be completely drawn at the start of a teleport skill’s activation instead of trying to animate it, or making teleport skills not cause the character to draw their weapon.

This bug has been around since release.
