this animation in the game currently is a bug and is being fixed in i17
Happy to know about the fix. This has been irking me for a while.
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
i was happy to see it fixed too when i logged into test a couple times during CB lol
Thanks for the good news Necrotech. 
I've searched and found no reference to this but it's something I've been meaning to bring up for a while.
Can we have the old animation for using a wakie back? For a while now it has been changed to the current one where the user simply pops straight up to his/her feet. It was much better (realistic) when we got to our feet normally.
