I have to admit I hated this too when my account was active. Looked so ridiculous, I thought it was just me! x]
They really need to sort it out, its such a small thing but makes it look that much less realistic, the combat just doesn't feel like it's flowing if you get my drift!
I agree. I played an archer in age of conan and love it. When I got this game I wanted to do the same till I saw the animations. They are horrible. It doesn't even look like they tried. Arrows and bullets fly super slow and curve around etc. It's ridiculous. I wonder, were they trying to be funny or do they just suck at animations? The other combat animations are also very crappy particularly if your coming from age of conan which is excellent in that department.
Yeah, the animations overall could use work. Characters are very "stiff" in WAR; like they all have boards strapped to their backs.
Female WE's in particular have a very "heavy" and "lumbering" run animation. I'd expect a fast-moving dual-dagger wielder to be more agile and "light on their feet".
The ranged attacks, though, are just bad. You shouldn't even see a fired bullet; a quick blur, maybe. No way should you be able to see it move leisurely toward its target, turning this way and that.

Yeah, and it certainly kills the feeling of it being a powerful attack as well; something that WAR's combat lacks a bit anyway, IMO.

you are right mate about this.
this is a big mistake of mythic.
and there are and others mistakes inside the game unfortunately.
but we hope they will fix them because its only the start of the game.
personal i have big problem with lag i dont enjoy in tier4 the rvr because of too many people and lag and iam not the only one with that problem :( .
anyway lets hope they will fix everything.

Yeah, there are technical issues I'm sure they'll sort out over time regarding lag and such.
But oversight of things like in the video I posted just seems sloppy and/or lazy to me.
