Prowl Animation (s.o.s)!

After a while I went back to w.o.w. The feral druid prowl animation was really disgusting. this is very bad. I took all my pleasure. as if I’m playing lag all the time. please do something.

Yes! Blizzard please fix this! This is just wrong, lazily done/forgotten. We run normally while stealthed, so please make us prowl properly :angry: :triumph: :pray:

Yes please … give us back our old animation. Or give us an optional glyph.

I don’t rhink it is correct to change the animation for prowl, just because anyway you run at 30% (45% for ferals. And if you are a night elf you can add a 7% more… this is sure not slow and doesn’t give a reason to have “slow” animation.

It will be a terrible animation to see a hundred of mini steps per seconds… bu it’s just my thought.

Ah yes, the truly glaring problems with fetal, the PROWL ANIMATION
Nothing more urgent to look at.

It’s only a few seconds in the beginning, but you’ll see :slight_smile:
Here you can see how it used to be, in 5.4(2014). Prowl is stealth, and for someone as myself whom have played druid since 2007-2008 it feels like a loss. It isn’t much, but small things add up.


Not just feral, but druid in general.

When should we ask for it then?. It couldn’t possibly be a better time to ask for a minor change :stuck_out_tongue:

I think the point Thulîn was trying to make is that there’s bigger fish to fry at the moment, re feral’s abilities as a whole where as this is a cosmetic alteration and has no bearing on class ability.

I am in agreeance with you, the stealth animation of a moving kitty does look strange, but that’s because its the same as the current ‘full speed’ running animation. No longer does stealth slow you down like in days of old so to compare the new animation makes sense with the movement. Going back to the old stealth animation would , in fact, require loads of tiny little footsteps at the current speed which would look more ridiculous. I agree it could be worked on and made better, but there’s other things of higher importance that need addressing before cosmetic effects. Even the terrible new audible noises should take preference - I mean we’re supposed to be shredding flesh, not paper…

I lnow it is beautiful, but feral in mop and prior used to run at 30% and not 45%.
Also prowl in stealth states: “Alloes the Druid to prowl around, but reduces the movement speed by 30%. Using this ability activates cat form.”

Just this.

Anyway, I too played druid from TBC and I feel nostalgic when I look at that animation.
