Animation Glitch when using "Guard".

[Mihana]

I couldn't quite figure out a place to report this so this seems like the best spot. Since the changes to the battle system I've noticed that if you equip a shield and use "Guard" and then return to passive mode the idle animation when standing still freezes. You still blink, but you do nothing else but stand there like a statue. The same can be said when entering active mode. You draw your weapon/shield and then stand there like a statue.

To recreate this glitch, equip a shield and then enter active mode. Use the "Guard" skill and then return to passive mode before you lower your shield. The end result is you put your equipment away but instead of the idle animation starting you just stand still. I haven't tested this on other races but it does it to Miqo'te. While this glitch is in effect you cannot visually raise your shield either. Instead it sets you into the animation doing so then reverts back to the battle stance taken when entering active mode.

I've been noticing that as well and i'm glad i'm not the only one with this problem..... haven't done the testing to see what exactly is doing it though didn't think about the shield being the issue.. i though it was lag on my part at first lol

The issue is putting your shield away before you lower it. That's what's causing this. Also I didn't notice there was a forum for in game bugs so I'm requesting a lock on this one and a delete. I'm gonna post it in the correct forum. Sorry!
