Newish zone port emote

I don't know with what update it came, but I noticed that very recently the emote for porting across zones (pocketd, base tp, market tp) seems ... um, wierd. Does anyone know what I'm talking about ?

It's not an emote, it's an animation. (Emotes are called by typing a slash command into the chat interface. Animations are part of a power or effect.) It's broken. It's a known issue.

Your post is neither a suggestion, nor an idea. /silly

It's a glitch in the zone port animation, actually, and is extremely annoying. I've bugged it several times.

This'd be better off in Player Questions. But yeah, it's a bug.

Rule of software updates: You can't fix anything without breaking something else.

What seems bizarre to me is that it was a fix to the chat bug (supposedly) that broke this... o.o Obviously they were doing something else too with that patch but that it's still unfixed after the rollback and repatch... bleah.

Ay, thanks all for letting me in that it was a bug. I honestly thought it was someone's idea to change the animation. The first time I saw it I thought, "is that true ? is my character really doing that to the air ?" -blink- -blink- -blink- <rub eyes> "yup."

*am still getting used to the forum change. I found the note in the bugs about it, but how do you know it was a result of trying to fix something with chat ?

Because it wasn't happening (to my knowledge, and I use teleports of all kinds all the time) until they put the defective patch in. It might have been something entirely different but I like to think it was something attached to an already-mistake-ridden code...
