Spell-casting animation..?

Well, I do agree that the animation could be improved, just for the movement part, I do understand some people see magic as something that takes effort to do.. but others see if as something that requires high concentration to perform, and for that, I don;t see how you can concentrate while swinging around like that.

The old animation followed the idea of high concentration, over effort, hence why hand to the forehead type of animation, sure it is static and boring, but it isn't that illogical.

I would like if the new animation were something in between, the arms circling effect is really sweet, so why not circle your arms and then stand almost "static" with some minimal bouncing motion, rather than looking as if your knees are about to give out and you will fall on your ass?

But yes, some people do love it, other people find it funny and weird... Myself, I find it weird, but it is not something that would make me stop playing :P

On the other hand, there are some pretty cool animation effects on the old version, like how the archers shoot arrows and sometimes they position their bow horizontal... I kinda love that lol...

I agree on the archer animation. The Alpha animations for archer are waaay too flashy for what an archers movements are suppose to be like. I think of precision and graceful movements when it comes to archery. The new archer animations have way too much body movement similar to the casting movement.
