They were removed because your character stretching while a friend was dead in front of them and other characters were crying wasn't "appropriate". The worst part is all classes/races/genders do this. (#MeOneAnimation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASATT.3678 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 +1 Yes please! The lack of idle animations make the game look lifeless to me. It looks like a lot of statues standing around! Elder scrolls online does a much better job on idle and emote animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely hate the ugly running/sprinting animations in ESO but I do like that I am not forced to have idle animations. And then there are the people who can equip personalities if the want. Great idea and pleases every kind of player. Optional things are good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Interesting thread, but I have to confess I've never seen any of the idle animations on any of my characters. If I'm actually standing idle for extended periods of time, waiting for a meta to start,etc, I'm usually looking at stuff on the TP or achievement panels. Awesome that ANET makes such things accessible at all times. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakr.3679 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I don't mind sexy clothes but animations that make women look like brain dead idiots bother me a lot. It was the stupid look on their face while they swung their arms back and forth the drove me nuts. I wouldn't use the human female characters because of it, all my toons were Norn. I was tickled pink when they got rid of it. PLEASE DON'T bring it back, I don't want to have to delete 6 yr old toons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but 99% of the character animations in this game are bad. Completely ruined GW1. Dancing is horrible, much more limited action commands and it just isn't fun, just more filler now.

Yargesh.4965 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This movement does not exist anywhere in the real world. I have never seen it. I have many sisters, female friends and relatives, daughter, wife and never once have any of them made this motion. Let alone every 5 seconds.

Ganathar.4956 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 At the very least the kicking the dirt idle with the hands on the hips should return. It does bug me that they removed the idles, but looking at the stretch animation pics again, the armpits do look a bit awkward. The shoulderpad clipping would also be a nightmare. Currently the only idle animation is playing with the hair for one second. It's very very boring and it feels as if they butchered the female human idles. Give the kicking the dirt animation back at least, or make new ones. Asuras got new idles about a year ago iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 ~Dante.1763 Try to create a beautiful female and tell me that the basic faces are nice and easy to mod or improve? I will post 2 pictures for you my first Ele and my last, the first her basic face has been deleted from character creation. How do I know this? Because almost no changes had to be made on her, with the new choices I could never go back and re create her for all intent and purposes she dead and buried. 1) https://imgur.com/0e3LmGF 2) https://imgur.com/Lbe80An The chin, mouth and eyes I could never make it as before because that basic face is no longer there. You see on the first pic, hands on the hip that was also removed. You remember the old song " too sexy for my body, too sexy for my hat", well Anet went one step further and changed it to " too sexy for Anet what about that?" Anything too sexy for Anet has to be removed, now you have to be overdressed to kill for even in the desert and die of heat exposure. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, my idea of beautiful is different than yours, The first one looks like a child to me, and the latter one i find much more beautiful to me. Second, i only play female Charr, and its gotten very easy to make really good looking and or beautiful, well i find them to be. Third, I just created a test charcter to see if that face was gone, it isnt. Its the bottom right face in the first 9 that appear in the basic character creation menu, if i woulda spent more time i could probably have recreated her fully, but im not great with the human sliders, so i stopped and remade the character i deleted to see.
