<p>Whenever i swim at the moment my toons kinda jerk and bob as they move forwards. They never used to do this and its pretty annoying to look at. Does anyone else get this?</p>

<p>you're being quite vague.</p><p>get Fraps, and record a video of what you're talking about.</p><p>then upload it to youtube so everyone here can easily view it</p>

<p>Are you on your mount when you go for a swim? Ever since they made the change where you stay on your mount in shallow water its done this. Its the camera angle changes to where your mount should be then resets really quickly. Try unmounting before you go swimming and it shouldn't happen.</p>

<p>I've noticed that recently, my camera jerks a lot when I'm swimming and tab-targeting at the same time...seems it jumps every time I tab to a new target.  Never used to do this, and it's been going on for a week or two.  If it does it on land, I haven't noticed it, but it's really noticeable -- and really annoying -- while swimming.</p>

<p>Its usually when you push fowards, i am not on a mount or tab targetting, you'll swim for a bit and then bob up and down. Its fairly obvious if you have it and really annoying. It never use to do it and only start a few weeks ago. Sometimes it does it when you are just floating too.</p>

<p>Yep I have it too, regardless if I am on a mount or not... its like someone jerks you forward and then slams you back the entire time you are swimming or floating in the water. It occurs at any depth as well.</p><p>Fix this please, its highly annoying and even worse when you are fighting underwater.</p>

<p>I think this is one of the same problem I am experiencing and it's very annoying.</p><p>Whenever I swim, the character appears as if it is touching land or something (or trying to stand up) and glitches during the swim sequence. Now when I say glitch, I don't mean the animation is balked, but that the swimming is interrupted by what seems like the character attempting to stand in the water (or get out of it).</p><p>No one needs a video. You just need to go in the water and swim.</p><p>The problem is regular, not random. It occurs swimming forward (I haven't tried backward, probably does, not tried it really as I don't swim backward personally) and glitches every 2-3 seconds.</p><p>The glitch accompanies a sort of giddery splooshing sound.</p>

<p>I've had exactly the same, since the expansion. It's quite disconcerting and applies not only to me but to my companion.</p>

<p>/dispel the spell 'Jebus-look-a-like'. Then you won't be able to walk on water, or at least trying to *smirk*</p>

<p>I've had this happening for ages (ie. from well before the last expansion), but only on my ratonga's (admittedly the two I play most of the time are ratonga's, dont use the other alts much at all).</p><p>It basically looks as if hes swapping between walking and swimming all the time, its very disturbing in first person view as your screen is constantly bobbing up and down. Though I did find if you swim underwater (even if only by a small amount) it stops, he then swims properly.</p>

<p>I get that too but I had not noticed if I was mounted or not.  I know it seems to happen a lot on my Arasai.</p>
