Keeping an eye on this and I know several other people on the Homecoming team and gold standard testers discord are as well. It seems the majority of PvPers agree that cancelling animations via Nullifier (not emotes) is beneficial to PvP. I've been reading some good explanations and rationale from you all in the community and so consider me /signed (although others on the Homecoming team may disagree with me on this)

Thank you to everyone who came out to participate in our December Zone PvP Showdown events!! It was nice seeing the zones so active, especially after the myriad of changes suggested and tested by the PvP Community. We had a great showing tonight in Siren's Call, a place that is nostalgic for a lot of us. Myself and the rest of the HC team will be looking forward to seeing you all for more fun events come 2021! Please vote below on what event you'd like to see in January! Thank you, CR Mochi
