Guild Wars 2

I can’t shake the feeling that some activist kitten considered the stretch animation to be too sexy for the current pol. correctness standards.

Exactly my thoughts. Another post on this has been relegated to the “bugs” section. It has thousands of views. I’m sure this post will be shut down shortly too… or relegated and merged to the “bin of death”. We have no say.

I read that this is a “bug”. That was weeks ago. Unfortunately, I still don’t believe it IS a bug. It seems to me like something is being slid in here. What was the problem with the female animations? I liked the foot shuffle, myself. It gave the characters “life”. There have been thousands of views on another post about this. I would like other players comments/considerations. What happened to these animations? Why? Why won’t we get them back? I only have one female, who is low level, so I can delete her. I do feel for others of you who have been complaining though. NOTHING has been done. I realize it isn’t that important, but I do not like things taken away for no reason with no fix. Just my two cents.

Can’t you just “flip a switch” and reactivate the animations until a fix is ready? I don’t care if this “WoodenPotatoes” guy has his own webshow that makes his viewpoint pretty visible. That doesn’t make his viewpoint right. Is this game trying to make him happy, or the majority of the players? Don’t fix what ain’t broken.

Yes. It looks like they knuckled under to some self imposed “expert” on gaming and gw2. Typical.

I vote with my wallet.. haven’t purchased one gem since this happened, no matter how much I like some of the Halloween stuff. I don’t condone anyone else doing that. I’m just saying I do.

What I would like to know is not so much about Caithe, but about Logan. That letter he sent was just WEIRD. When did he get so chummy? Is Logan not Logan??

Well it’s true that this game has more bugs than South Florida. Something still smells funny about this. That’s my point I guess. Instead of playing a human female, which had great animations, you get to play a tiny Norn. I just don’t think its a bug. I think there’s something else.

Am I supposed to have something or give her something? I didn’t get anything from her.

Guards!!! Arrest that man!!!

Still waiting… almost a month.

This is what I get when I go to the link:

Oh no.
Something went wrong.

To round out this discussion:

I believe that Djinn hit the nail on the head: Disabling the animations globally took far less time than re-implementing them individually will require.

To answer Kolompi’s question (if I’m understanding it properly), designing, testing, and implementing new animations takes a long time. It was judged more prudent to disable the existing animations (and work on having them function selectively) than to reposition team members into the process of redesigning them.

And again, the animations will be back in the future.

Respectfully, Gaile, I think that judgement was terribly bad. I would like to use a stronger word, but I won’t. I know you had nothing to do with this and I respect you for taking on this debacle. I have seen you before and know you have been nothing but honest. I’m simply saying that this was an enormously bad idea to jump the gun and take things away from us without even letting us know. Bad form. As for you, you have been a trooper about this whole thing. Thanks.

P.S. I reserve the right to still complain.

No. They aren’t going to fix it. I’m not going to stop asking for a dev post either.

I only have one. I won’t play it until the animation is restored. It has nothing to do with the animation itself. It has to do with what was taken from me for no reason, other than to probably appease someone else.

No. Just no.

Maybe destroying idle animations is part of the new player experience! Hello new players!! Please don’t be distracted by movement.

They can get away with it because they simply ignore us and throw the whole thread into the bug bin.
