Characters sliding on the ground... Will it be fixed for the release? Dev please?

Although I'm usually tired of people complaining about the smallest things in a game that we have barely tested yet... I agree that that "sliding/running on one spot" needs to be fixed.
It looks weird and it is certainly not going to go unnoticed by most of the people out there.

one thing i noticed was an interview video i watched (forgot where sorry ) Yoshi was talking about server restructure n what not. Beta hasnt even started yet so you people need to calm down, there will be many many weeks of testing and im sure they will have it ironed out by then.

I know that, I respect what you're saying. I'm just expressing my opinion about it, so are the others, that is all. The forums are a place where we can discuss and share our opinions on what we saw/experienced. You know there will always be something that will be worth talking about. Maybe at first, before anybody here, devs didn't notice/care about that. Who knows ? We have to make sure they are aware of what we see, and hypothetically what they don't.

This isn't going to be the only option of movement. Yoshi mentioned in the video (and showed it) you can change it to the old 1.0 movements. Where you press backwards and you turn around instead and no gliding gumby style.

So just switch to the Legacy movement like I plan to. Problem solved.

You misunderstand.

"Legacy movement" means you turn around instead of backpedal when you press back. "gliding" or "sliding" is not intended in EITHER case. If you're choosing it because you think it fixes the sliding issue, you're misguided. It doesn't. The "sliding" thing is a bug. So no, problem not solved.

this post here shows why version 1 failed.

one guy brings up a legit a problem then trash talking starts. i'm pertty sure now the beta forums will be the same way like the original test. forums always have pricks.

thats called lag...so you know.

It's very unlikely to be lag or latency related and more of lack of optimization in terms of how clients see other people. On your client you come to a complete stop, on Dragonheart's client, he sees you riding your invisible bicycle.

Lag, huh? You know, 1.0 had some of the worst lag ever seen in a MMO. And this never happened there. So... yeah.

I think it's due to the animation for your character stopping/starting up being removed they now run in place. Could also be lag/bug from their dev debug client. Either way it doesn't bug me much because I know it will be fixed sooner or later.

[fusional]

as if lag is even a legitimate excuse. "oh yeah it's nbd it's just lag"

lag itself is unacceptable in an MMO. what's with you guys?

As been mentioned numerous times, yes, there are people that complain about the insignificant things, and while they seem stupid and unrelated and pose no real threat to the gameplay or experience, they should at least be voiced.

If someone raises a concern, especially if its something that may be eye soaring to some, let them voice their concern. It doesn't hurt anyone (but those that wanna complain about the person complaining) to post what they feel may be off or not right. Clearly, if it was not an issue, and it wasn't of any problem, then they wouldn't have brought up this concern. The dev team will determine if this needs to be fixed or not.

Complaining or attacking someone who has a concern or problem doesn't make your views any better. The ice skating animation may or may not get fixed. I'm sure it will, but there is nothing wrong in letting the dev team know that this is not ok. It is indeed not seamless, and it is a bit of an eye sore for some of us. Those of you that are ok with it, good for you, but for those that it does pose a concern, let the dev team be aware about it, and allow them to figure out if this is a problem or not.
