asura jump animation broken as of latest patch [Merged]

[Oneiroid.9245]

just wanted to get a post out there stating that, for at least the masculine model, the asura jump animation is broken (i didn't put this in the 'art' thread since that thread doesn't mention being for animation bugs)

here's how the bugged jumping animation looks

note that i am NOT rotating my character on purpose in that shot, either. the only key im pressing is space, and i press it a single time, three times for the video. no other keys, no double tapping, etc

the animation 'jerks' suddenly at the top of the animation, right before the character falls, and the character often rotates suddenly as this happens. if the character rotates, it suddenly corrects a milisecond after the character hits the ground. i tested this with a friend and both our asura, both masculine models, had this same issue and it was visible on both our screens.

it's a little jarring :")

I confirm this on norn and humans as well, probably all races are like this.

Glad someone else noticed, thought I seeing things

Can confirm sylvari and charr are also broken.

The animation seems to change for a split-second to the flailing animation characters go through when falling from high distances.

Choya jump animation is also broke.

It randomly changes the facing direction at the peak of the jump then change it back when landing.

[ASH Nemo.7169]

I have noticed that the jump in place animation registers your last move direction and it thinks that you are jumping in that direction.

For example if your last moving direction was right then you try to jump in place the animation will show the jump while moving right animation.

If your last moving direction before jumping in place was backwards it is not affected.

Also happening for charr too!

[VoxShatterfall.5470]

the bug appears to occur when you jump up and down without a direction, with your character suddenly facing either right or left depending on your last turn starting at the apex of your jump, and when you land, for a fraction of a second you are facing in the new direction, but then you face your pre jump direction.  this bug appears to not be expressed to others, and only appears client side...

Indeed! Just tested it, @Rubi Bayer.8493. The characters make a brief turn halfway through the animation, like a stutter. It definitely looks broken.

After the recent patch, whenever you jump in place your character will turn either left or right before returning to original position.
Hopefully this sees a fix soon!

EDIT:

I was blind not to see the same topic.
But yep, hopefully we see this fixed fast 🙂

[GeneralWut.7426]

Yep, can also confirm this bug across every race.  For the moment, to have a normal stationary jump animation, you'll have to take a step backward and it's normal until you move in any other direction.

[Admiral Stukov.8791]

I thought I was the only one. Happened to my human, sylvari and norn. 

[Eloc Freidon.5692]

I hope this bug gets fixed soon rather than being another animation problem ignored for years (charr holding zephyr crystals).

[synk.6907]

Jumped in place on various characters after seeing this thread; it seems to affect all races.

This bug is still alive and well.  All my guildmates notice it as it's visually distracting.  It's affecting all characters of any race.

[Pusheen.7502]

Also noticed this today when doing content with guildies. it's very harsh on the eyes for sure. (human female character)

[Toraseishin.1932]

I'm not sure when this started, but I only noticed it last night. When jumping in place on a flat surface, the character will abruptly jolt backwards mid-jump. When jumping in place on a sloped surface, the character will abruptly face a different direction, and then will clip forward again a moment later. Jumping while running doesn't seem to be affected. Tested on male Human and male Sylvari.

fixed link

Been bugged since June 25, along with envoy/cosmetic probs and certain infusions not stacking.  Looks really bad on a charr though.

and of course now that I'm aware of it, it will forever bother me until it's fixed xD

Me, too. I hope it won't take years until it gets fixed, like with the former tilting bug upon knockbacks. 😄

[gem.9038]

Yes this is bugged for me as well. Also I think it might be related when you use Bond of Faith and attempt to strafe. Instead of the usual moving to the side your character turns. Here's a link for both vids I took. https://imgur.com/a/LcMIJCN

 

Btw, it happens also if you dismount while staying stationary.

Ok last edit. Just noticed if you strafe when in the air even when moving, your character turns toward the direction you're strafing. This shouldn't happen either.

Found it applies elsewhere

[gem.9038]

Any new updates on when this might be fixed? Thanks. 🙂

[Charybdis.9042]

We were commenting on this last night in guild raids as there is a strafe version of this bug as well. The steps to reproduce are quite straightforward:

1. Strafe left or right
2. Jump while stationary
3. Notice the player model snap 90 degrees left or right, then land and snap back to the forward direction on landing (bug)

There's also a variation based on 45 degree movement:

1. Move forward-left or forward-right (also works for back-left/back-right)
2. Jump while stationary
3. Notice player model snap 45 degrees, then snap back to the forward direction on landing

Probably something introduced in Janthir (after being deployed on live for final testing) that has escaped into the current player version.

[HojaDanzante.1498]

These types of glitches occur even with equipped weapons, carrying a bow or two one-handed weapons while jumping also cause these broken animations, let's hope that arena net tests the characters well and fixes all the animations that have been broken.

[Dean Calaway.9718]

With their stubby little legs what did you expect, I'm amazed they can even jump.

[Pusheen.7502]

woooo they fixed it \o/
