Guild Wars 2

Astral Projections.7320:

To me, it looks more like a hovering animation rather than a flying animation. Add that them being on your back (vertical) instead of the dragon (horizontal) and it looks strange.

Well they took the hover animation from the Shatterer hologram and that’s part of the problem. Not only does the hover animation look like the wings want to get away from us but on every 3rd flap of the wings it’s when the Shatterer hologram recenters himself which on us looks even stranger as the wings go off to one side.

Sythus.2396:

I previewed them on my Sylvari yesterday and they looked awesome, so it’s some races only then.

I had thought of that which was one of the reasons I added the screenshot. I’m glad we found out about it before they are officially out in the public so they can have more time to fix it.

So someone linked the Holographic Shattered Dragon Wings in map chat (I didn’t ask how and not my point) and while looking at the preview, I noticed that the animation for them seemed off. By rotating I saw that they seem to flap like wanting to fly backwards and from the front and back they look like they want to pull my character to his left.
