Glider Mount Bugs - Swiveling in the Saddle

[Vrix]

<p>Since two game patches ago your developers brought about yet another bug that affects glider mounts.</p><p>First it seemed it would happen when a player got hit with a mob while in flight, yet later it just happens when the glider mount's animate freezes. <strong>IF</strong> there is enough height the player can descend abruptly and <em>maybe</em> reset the animation to allow a more suitable landing. But here there is not enough elevation to do this the player is stuck with their mount in an off-kilter angle and trying to figure out how to land safely - though sometimes they are actually sliding sideways.</p><p>Here are a few screen shot snippets of those weird angles where I had the room to take screen shots.</p><p>Photo 1<img src="http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Everquest/EQ2_000002-1.png" width="483" height="316" /></p><p>Photo 2<img src="http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Everquest/EQ2_000003.png" width="526" height="318" /></p><p>Photo3<img src="http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Everquest/EQ2_000004-1.png" width="571" height="318" /></p><p>Photo 4<img src="http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Everquest/EQ2_000005.png" width="573" height="315" /></p><p>Photo 5<img src="http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Everquest/EQ2_000010.png" width="509" height="316" /></p><p>Photo 6<img src="http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Everquest/EQ2_000011.png" width="575" height="349" /></p>

Happens to me as well; not every time, but often enough. As far as I can tell, the most consistent way to reproduce it is to hold jump a bit too long when first getting airborne.

<p>We're seeing this here too and for once it's not my bug. Code knows about it now.</p>

<p>Wings are also <em>bugged</em>.Following combat: when a player walks/runs across the ground (before the wing mount appears) the player with start fluttering back & forth like they have a dime between their legs & trying to make it to the dunny asap!A bit hard to show the rapid <em>flutter-bug</em> thing going on here.</p><p>Side-view<img src="http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Everquest/EQ2_000052.png" width="490" height="352" />Backside view<img src="http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Everquest/EQ2_000053.png" width="334" height="294" />Rapid flutter-bug effectMay be able to fix by not having mounts vanish in combat, but that also globally affects other characters too.</p><p>First time ever using the video feature. A short <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-YZ2NkkMuI" target="_blank">23 second clip</a> showing the wing flutter after combat.</p>
