missing idle expressions

[Chron]

hello there, short question.

 

in character creation / selection as well as ingame my chars used to smile once in a while randomly, blink or whatever (left side picture).

But since arround the mushin update they stopped keep doing it.

The facial expression now only changes during emotes or idle animations.

 

Could it be a broken file problem or... is this supossed to be like that now?

I use to love that screenshots whenever the char smiles but now they just keep looking more or less boring (right side picture).

Even though this is more of a minor problem it really pisses me of

 

 

Can anyone confirm this so i know it's not only me...

Yes, I noticed this today when taking screenshots. My character (male lyn) still does idle poses but he never smiles or makes facial expressions like before.

Yup, sometimes when i do emotes like kiss on my gon, she doesnt do the lip puckering

Must be preparing for Warlock then.

did you set the graphics to "battle optimized" , it will turn off character animations as well.

I noticed this some time ago but I thought that was just me. Now I see this is happening to other people as well. I don't know when this happened but now the only time I see the facial expression changing is in the character selection screen.

Good so at least i know it's not on my end. I'll wait what happends after WL patch, if no change i send a ticket about it.
Even if it's one of the smallest problems BnS has atm,  it really annoys me.
