Emotes can no longer be started while blocking.
Blocking during an emote will now interrupt it.


This is an odd request, but the reason for the request is it harms absolutely no one!

One of the things I know many in the RP Community have wanted for years is personalities and emotes that appropriately use our *equipped* weapons. Using the desert rain kata emote, or the swashbuckler idles... all well and good, but we want to have OUR weapons out for it, not some manifested weapon we pulled out of our pocket >.>

So please, reconsider this bug fix, and let us do these emotes. Great screenshots are able to be taken because of it. Instead of a big Nord suddenly having a saber out and planting it on the ground, a Nord can have his warhammer out. It makes a world of difference! Unless of course, you're willing to make the emotes use our equipped weapons as a main feature... but otherwise, please please please undo this fix.

Hey everyone, thanks so much for providing your thoughts and feedback on this change, which was originally done to address some visual issues and clipping that would occur when performing emotes. However, after reviewing several threads, we recognize many of you prefer to see your weapons while using emotes despite any visual oddities that may occur. As such, we are working on reverting this change. Thanks again for all the feedback!

@ZOS_GinaBruno It appears this change has made it onto live, any updates regarding this being reverted & when it might be expected?



We noted in the patch notes that even though this did go live, we do still intend to revert it. No scheduled date yet, but it's being worked on.
