My Characters are often tilting back after fighting, as though they are falling backwards.  I have tried sit/stand, off/on mount, jump, etc - The only thing that clears the effect is to log out/in of the game.  Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

<p>Oooh, my friends and I have experienced that occasionally. Though not for a long time, at least until one got hit by it a few nights ago. We've always considered it "zombie mode", given you're leant back and to the side a bit, shuffling around like the living dead. </p><p>Camping was all that cured it for me back when I got it. Though I think now perhaps turning on all SOGA models then turning them back off (or vice versa if you use SOGA) could do the trick. </p>

I tend to get "broken back" syndrome when I'm in highly laggy circumstances (IE group or raid) on my Guardian. Don't see it really with any of my other characters, just my Half Elf Guardian. Her legs get paralyzed and her top half gets bent back at the waist but will still make the animations for running (arms pumping) in this broken back stance. LOL Nobody else can see it though and after a bit it clears up on its own.

Occasionally and only after the GU 44, my human male conj and the warg mount he's on will tilt about 5 or 10 degrees to the right.  Stopping for a solid 5 seconds usuually clears it up though.

Ahhhhh - yes! I do use a bow to pull sometimes - I use a macro to load the bow, fire it, then click another macro to load a different item into the ranged slot.  I will do some testing to see if using the bow causes the "I'm constipated" look - LOL.

This tends to happen after having fired a bow and interupting the animation. Easy enough to fix though, just fire another bow shot at something, and let the animation fix its self. It's amazing the things you figure out as a ranger as you're standing in a raid firing giant logs at two story tall monsters.

We call it "gettin your Gangsta on". One of our pallies does it regularly during raid, seems to only happen to him.
