Was the orc running animation changed in this patch? The transition from standing to running seems a bit jarring.

That’s common in folks with latent back issues.
Can’t begin to explain how unhappy I am with this change. So unneeded too.
I’ve heard critiques of how the last animation looked like they were constipated…can’t disagree more, lol. Now it looks janky and reminds me exactly how the Night Elf run animation looked when the updated models launched. Unnecessarily bouncy and unnatural.

I wish they would have finished the animations before releasing them. It looks like there is no animation for something even so basic as from standing still to running. Your character just kind of teleports forward. Also the animations for whirlwind and heroic leap are broken.

I for one am indescribably grateful that they changed the upright orc running animation.
They did look seriously constipated before.

Yup, I recently race changed less then a week ago. Didn’t even know this was a new thing. I’m currently ticketing for a race change refund because the new run looks ridiculous.
They had SKIBIDI WAPAPA has a reference for the new running animations.
I stopped playing for tonight, can’t swallow that pill, look ridiculous.
Honestly when I was playing I did not even notice it and only when a guild member mentioned it than I took a closer look. I like the change cause it did look strange pre 8.1 but the animation is better and they fixed the head and eye direction which I enjoy as well.

I can’t agree more, in the original animation Orcs looked like an agile muscle bound killing machine, then the reskin in Warlords while the skin looked great they changed the running animation to Bow legged Oaf Mode. With the standing animation it at least corrected some of the problem… now this “update” makes me feel like my character is trying to learn to run again after having a stroke. Blizzard, if you bother to read what your player base is thinking… STOP FORCING CHANGE TO WHAT WE KNOW AND LOVE. Making new options for how your character looks and moves is great… forcing it on us all is bad. Please give us the option at the barber or interface to choose which animation we want… and let us turn off the idle cast stance after casting a spell. More choices makes a better game and doesn’t frustrate us from playing the characters we have been paying to play since Vanilla.
i had to go back to the old model instead of the upright. the new run is that bad.
I actually don’t mind it, Hell tbh…
I completely forgot that they even updated it until I saw this thread. I didn’t even notice.
Initially the upright orc bothered me because they didn’t stand facing fully forward like every other race did. I eventually got used to that & I’ll get used to the new running animations too, as will most players.
The running animation isn’t the problem. There is no transition from standing to running.
