'Gliding' Issues for Melee Classes

Anyone else bothered by the fact that your character sort of 'glides' when you move while using melee skills?

Never had this issue in any of the previous MMO's I've played (Aion, WoW, and GW2) and for some reason it's bugging me a lot more than it should.

Archers don't 'glide' while using ranged skills - their feet are still moving and same goes for casters

But when you use any melee skill and move, it literally looks like you're bugging out.

It's probably not going to be changed any time soon (if ever) but anyone else bothered by this?

Animation locking, op.

Same thing happens with WHM skills, especially Holy. You just get used to it.

right now it's sort of bearable cuz i can stand still for the most part (since i'm a tank :P) but i can just see it looking absolutely ridiculous in PVP where everyone is gliding around the arena

Yoshi-P has addressed this issue a few times, since beta testing, and has no means of "fixing" it. I don't really find an issue with it, honestly. You don't even really notice it unless you're just looking for it anyway.

Hell, most of the time I don't even see it any more even though I know I'm doing it.

Archers glide on some skills, like Windbite. It's because some animations were made to look good with the player standing still. They'd have to make the animations not involve the legs, or make a separate animation for movement to fix it.

Nah, it happens for others too. Just Holy has the biggest delay. I can float around for a good 5-10 seconds until the spell goes off.

Imho I kinda like it.

It kind of baffles me that they wont add in the ability to talk to NPC's on your Chocobo because "It breaks immersion."

I'm sorry, did the Knights of yore all have wheelie shoes and slide around while fighting? How is that not considered "breaking immersion."\

Edit: I'd like to clarify this doesn't make me mad or anything, just a simple observation.

lmao

gliding is not an issue

its a wonderful benefit

learn to play correctly

I really hope you're just a terrible troll. If you're not though, how is it a benefit?(not that it's a disadvantage) Also, what does it have to do with "playing correctly"

If we at least were forced to face the mob while doing it (without using focus).

Gliding and doing the Rage of Halone in the air is one of the reasons I don't play PLD anymore.

Friction doesn't exist in this game.

Psssh I love gliding! Run in on my WAR and flash (causes gliding usually) looks awesome! Don't really see it a lot of my DRG, but I'm not even really looking for it then, just making sure I'm not running into a boss mechanic or something else. But yeah, I like it on my WAR.

Well.. as far as I remember, a fix is promised, but till now have not seen it. Or was it only promised to Archers.

They should make a dungeon entirely of ice so that it looks normal.

Real reason: 1.0 had animation lock, 2.0 was made in ~2+ years. Ain't nobody got time for walking while attacking animations!
