Here's a few of the current armor glitches that I've noticed recently. (Some others have been fixed, such as Female 15k Gladiator top and leggings, Male 15k Platemail leggings and Boots, Female 15k Bonelace top.)

Anyways, here are a few that are still prevelant:

Feel free to post any that you've noticed as well. Maybe Anet's art department will look into it. ^^

I haven't seen anything as extreme, but some armors show similar "mismatching" when running around or emoting, like back of the pants showing through the back of the chestpiece.

One particular glitch that comes to mind is the Luxon 1.5k female ranger armor (which I thankfully saw before getting it for my ranger). This glitch is replicated on nearly all copies of Aurora [Longbow Henchman], with the exception of Divine Path one. The problem is the way the midriff is shaded:

The shading is much less pronounced on the other side, but seems to persist in all lighting conditions. I can't verify whether this is the case for player armors, but I remember someone posting a screenshot on these forums that it does.

The player version of that set used to have the glowy tummy as well. I was a bit dssapointed after buying it for Fi, but it's no longer like that and she can wear it out in public now.

To see this log in with a ranger wearing this armor and view it from direct behind while moving at normal speed. The bottom of the coat will stretch like its being pulled and the image obscures like how a news comic print on silly putty looks when you stretch the silly putty. The ranger prophecies collector is even worse it does the same stretch thing but its pulled right through the surface of the ground.

With these armors though if you have a speed buff on and look at it using the same direct behind angle you will see the flow of the armor is consistant with the physics of the movement of the character. The legs hitting the flap of the coat would cause it flop up and outwords which is how it appears when a speed boosts is on. Normal speed (which is basically running) should still do the flop up and out but to a lesser degree but intead the animation is messed up.

When the character has a slowed movement effect on or is slowed due to the way you are moving the character into a terrain barrier. Viewing from the same direct behind angle you will see that the stretching thing no longer occurs and the armor flows naturally to the movement of hte character.

These animation glitches are not observable when looking at rangers with these armors on from another character. It will appear the way its supposed to move.

Ranger canthan 1.5k the loin flap does not move with body movement and passes through the legs as if its incorporeal. I don't believe this one is dependant on any movement rate.

Cape visable an weilding a staff and perhaps other items. The item passes through the cape as if the cap is incorporeal. This is most noticeable when standing still.

I don't see the big problem here as if you look at Monks Censor armour and look when they bend their legs you will see holes in knees and not only that they look rather drappy compared to the 15k Judges version.Monks could use better looking Censor armour.

My primary ranger Archon (the one in my Avatar) has a glitch that when you look at his face from straight on, you will see two holes in the mask on both sides. This results from the hairstyle I chose. I'll post a pic later.

Most bulky armor chest pieces, usually the Male ones, have a tendency to stick out through their Guild Cape. I have noticed this with my (Male) Necromancer, my (Female) Warrior, and my (Male) Assassin.

Female Ranger Studded Leather armors (both 1.5k and 15k... only 1.5k shown here):
1) The skirt ends and legs begin, without seaming them together. You can see this when they run, not just when they bow. A good example of how it SHOULD be is the elementalist pre-sear armor. (They have little bloomers under their super short skirt). Or maybe just make the skirt longer? lol.
2) No Knees!!!

Female Ranger Collector's armor (whatever it is called in cantha too):
She has no back! The armor splits along the seam, does not stretch as a proper shirt would.

Female Warrior Cape issue:
On female warriors (and probably other professions) the guild cape sits off the shoulders and seems to float above the armor. Maybe it was made to fit the thicker armors, but it floats horribly and is very disconnected on most armors.

These are just off the top of my head and very quick screenshots/photoshopping. I'll add more when I remember. Personally, I will choose not to wear an armor/cape/etc if the glitch is annoying enough. They should be fixed, it looks quite sloppy.

Could you post a screenie of it please? I'd love to get that armor for my female ranger, but don't want to end up with "dented ribs"

<_< They fixed it so I can't show it, but for the 15k Male Platemail the back leg would not move when sitting down so it would stretch and look like you dislocated it or something. >_> I sorta' liked it. Also another thing they fixed. Mesmer when they played the flute, one of their legs would twitch and slowly move back into the ground.

edit:

<_< You know, I ended up looking at the pics cause they zoomed on bewbs and crotches of female chars. >_> j/p

Female Necromancer's collector's armor, the collar seems to be clipping for no apparent reason..

I'd like this fixed, as it shouldn't do that with the shortest possible hairstyle, or at all really.

Don't have a SS, maybe in a little.

But in the 15k Luxon Female Elementalists armor, when the character does /rock /scissors /paper or drums or something where the characters has to lean a little foward to do an emote, her back totally caves in. xD

Don't know if thats an "Armor Malfunction". But it still bugs me!
Only wearing 15k Luxon for just standing around, Literally.

Most of the problems you see with your character is probably your computer, because i have 2 fast computers in my house that can play guild wars at the highest settings. They both are a little in their guts. One computer has little mess ups like some places not showing up and the computer i am on now. I never see any problems. I even looked at those characters that you have and i dont see what you see.

Not an armor glitch, has to do with a weapon...But still.

Somehow, my Chaos Axe has appeared under the bridge....in other words, yuck!

Not too mention its shadow.....But then again, that might be unavoidable.
