no death animations?

Yes, indeed.

I just find it amusing that there are significantly more pressing bugs than death animations and a couple of you are treating this like its absolutely game breaking. Should this be fixed? Yes. Is it as important as other things that need to be fixed? Not even close.

Who said anything about game breaking? I said it was immersion breaking for me personally. Are there more pressing issues on Nostalrius? Certainly! No one said anything about that either. Does that mean we can't discuss other issues? Certainly not! I for one hope it will be fixed soon, which is exactly what I said in my first post. If you cant contribute to the thread and discuss issues other than what you consider the most pressing ones, then scram.

Cant find any, example ?

Some animation are really short, like beast, but some are a bit longer like worgen.
Maybe if you are lagging you wont see animation because there are too short. Or you just dont see the difference between death animation and hurt animation.

As a caster i didn't find any mob without death animation, i may be wrong, but maybe give us some example so we can clear that out.

One clear example. The molten elemental in Ragefire chasm, it doesnt have the explode animation before it dies, it just instantly crumbles to the ground. You cant miss that.

It's nothing like that. Almost every beast (like lions in the barrens) have no death animation whatsoever. I know full well that they have a short animation where they shorta go up with the head then fall down, its an animation still, but on Nostalrius there is no animation at all, its just instantly on the ground.
The only difference between you and me seems to be that i play in melee combat, and this is extremly apparent to me. Its a server thing issue so being a caster should not make any difference. I also have no lag nor any latency issues at all, and my computer is capable of handling all new games on Ultra settings so its not that either. Also, on Kronos where I played around in Beta this is not an issue at all. So to conclude, its an Nost thing for sure.

This is really annoying to me too.

On the other server you can find animals sleeping, I have yet to see that on nost. Something to work on for sure. Although it's not a main concern I imagine.

You play and you see a mob dying without death animation, then you realize, that "Dammit I'm not a mage for reals". Immersion broken.

And you can read it on the forum, that in vanilla it wasn't working, just the main dev (Chero) wanted to implement it , because reasons. MUH BLIZZLIKE

Death animations work fine for me.

They work fine for me as well.

Try deleting your WDB folder, guys.

If you're caught up on the "just a gaem XDD" phase of MMOs, take heed to the part where it's an MMO-RPG, where the RP in RPG should be important. Like any good movie having the Wilhelm scream shoved out in the middle of a dramatic scene, it completely draws you out of the medium to have your mob careen into the floor in less than a second.

Ok, so a mob falling to the ground with no animation prevents you from believing that you are a wizard/mighty warrior RL?
