Yet more Mesmer armor malfunctions.



As you can see, not only is the right strap messed up, but the bodice separates along the edge and you can see completely through the character.

After spending over 150k on this armor, this is severely disappointing. Let's fix this soon, right ANet?

At first I thought you were going for the "Janet Jackson" Angle, In which case I wanted to go in Options (F11) But pressed Print Screen in the crazyness of the moment.
At least I think, because I can't think of any other reason I nailed it at that exact moment, If I wanted to that screen shot, I would have missed.

The 8k necromancer scars actually can be dyed, however, the change is hard to notice on most characters, simply put, i have the proof of it, my necromancer here (with the charcoal skin color) has it dyed yellow, and you can actually see plenty of yellow spots all over!




Here she is again with the top dyed purple, and the rest still yellow, it did infact make a difference!



Now uh, that this is proven... stop asking to have her bra and panties dyed too :P

Alot of the clipping issues with armour is because the sets are designed to be used as sets. For example, the chest piece of the 15k gladiator adding those lines which are the shadows ot the armour plates on the leggings of the 15k gladiator. The model for the armour around the waist stretches up, but the leggings will not alter the color of the skin above the waist, so they had to add the shadowing with the chest piece. The 15k hose clipping through the 15k canthan mesmer leggings, again, it's hose form a different set, it wasn't designed to be used with the 15k canthan, so there will be issues. However, some of them are legitimate bugs.

In regards to Numa Pompilius post about the hose showing on Enchanters attire..

..it does depend on what hose you wear. As you can see, if you're wearing the hose of that armor style, the hose cannot be seen. However if you choose the hose of a differing armor style, then it is seen. Not a malfunction, per say, so much as it is two sets of armor that don't mesh well. Much like some warrior 15k armor that just doesn't go with 1.5k boots because the knees show.

Some things that I noticed while playing with character pics:

And is it just me, or does the shading on the corner of the mesmer's mouth make it look like she has dirt on her face..or a mustache..or something? :/

Or maybe this thread is just making me nit-picky for any little thing.

Other notes:
- Just as in Djinn Effer's post, in regards to the mesmer black skirt having rips in it when running, the same thing happens with my female monk and her black wander skirt.
- Just as in Young Hero's post, in regards to the hold in the head..the same thing can be viewed with my female warrior. Not to the degree that is clearly evident in Young Hero's ranger, but still visible when zoomed out. (might look like a pin-hole to some, but I play zoomed out, and seeing that there for over a year has become a pet peeve)

All in all, though, Guild Wars still has some great graphics with lots of details. So to all at the Guild Wars art department, we love you...please don't make us wear potato sacks for being nit-picky. *giggles*

I resort to keeping my warrior's helm on ALL the time. He's a prophecies char and has the long hairstyle, but when I take the helm off and run around, every time he lands a step a patch of skin at the back of his head clips through his hair, and I can't stand lookin at this wee spot every time I move .

Yes, really, no underwear. I was as Surprised as you are. After all Ranger = "Au Naturel", If you ask me, I'm surprised that her legs are shaved. (It's a joke)

At first I thought this wa another see through spot in the armor, but after taking more time to screenshot it and look at it, it turns out that it's only the belt from the pants showing through:

its right above his hip on the right side
if need be, I can circle it

Hey, now that I look at it, the 15k tatoo arms have a small bit of tatoo that abruptly ends on his elbow, most likely would fit in with the chest tatoo

Bought myself some armor in Ascalon City to try out Spirit Bond, and noticed that the pants clip through the robe. The colors of both armor parts are too similar, so here are some screenshots of my underwear sticking through the robe as I run:

A giant thankyou to Anet for fixing the Krytan flip top ranger issue. However :P

Archer's, Tamer's, Krytan. Traveller's mask seems unaffected.

Thank you Miss Eisei, I was just about to post about the Necro Luxon 15k shadow too. The other thing about Luxon armors is that it seems to reflect light a bit differently, for instance in Glint's Lair our groups' Luxon armors were awfully dark (me in the right) and no, they're not dyed black

Phew, I have quite a few... and some of these have been annoying me for a long time now.


This was posted before, but it's still a problem. The female mesmer FoW skirt clips very badly when zoomed out.


Female mes FoW also has some poor textures. The stockings are blurred and jagged looking, and the seams at the knee don't match up.


Here's a closeup of the stockings. There is also a strange spotted look to the skin above the stockings.


Ugly crease on the 15k Noble attire, only shows when zooming out.


This might not be a glitch, but some of the mes armors clip through when she's sitting ...and looks pretty bad.


Hair clipping through the collar on 15k Virtuoso.


My mes' hair clips through the earring on 15k virtuoso, but it isn't a problem with other mes armors.


Lace on 1.5k Kurzick armor clips through my ranger's hands.


The odd tan area used to be a hole in the armor and seems like it was fixed, by filling the hole with this weird tan spot. Still needs a bit of fixing up.


Not really a huge issue, but the right strap clips through her skin and that black fill to the strap looks a bit odd. Kinda hard to see in the screenshot, sorry.


Clipping on 15k aero skirt.


The gradient on the stockings of 15k aero skirt looks a bit odd, doesn't blend well.


This one drives me nuts. Rotating around my ele's head I can see two dots on the edge of some texture for her hair. I think it's on the butterfly part.


It's a long list but I have to say thanks to Anet for fixing a lot of glitches that were bothering me. My mes' masks didn't used to line up on her face properly and her nose used to poke though but those were fixed!

Most of these "glitches" are unhappy deformations of the charater's mesh.
There is no "fix" for it since Anet would have to make meshdeformtions (or hide part of the mesh) for each charactermodel in combination with each piece of armor.
I'm sorry to say, but they won't bother. If you've worked with 3d modelling software, you'd know why.
I also see a few graphics card problems, but those should be fixed with some tweaking.

Another thing on the armor: Most armor was made as "a set" thus all the pieces blend together. This means that if you mix some pieces, the will most likely not blend together flawlessly. As some pieces are like pieces in the puzzle that needs completing - and thus hinting at the adjecent armor piece, be it with lines, shadows, or even part of the skin in another colour.

Hope this helps.

Well the 15k platemail cuirass is messed up. It was fine before this month. Not sure exactly when it changed.

Hi all.

Was mixing and matching my armor when I noticed that the necklace for the 15k Frostbound chestpiece is now missing. Only the shadow is there.

This is a picture from before, and on the right side one just a few minutes ago.



As you can see, no necklace on the right.

I hope that Anet doesn't dismiss this because of Nightfall since Frostbound chest + FoW is one of my favorite mixes.

Not sure if this was caused by the "particle" bugs that happened around the Nightfall PvE event. I don't see how something like that would change by itself so...

Thanks in advance, Anet.

Belly piercing - ouch.

Actually, unless Anet decides to only allow high speed internet players with high end system to play, I don't think many of these glitches can be fixed. I believe they are usually caused by too few vertices in the 3d models so that a plane that makes up some of the armor intesects with a plane that is part of the body as both planes try to strecth between vertices. The only way to fix it would be to increase the number of vertices and thereby reduce the sizes of the planes they define. However, increasing vertices creates a huge jump in the necessary processing power and file size. I would much rather put up with the glitches so that more people have access to the game than have perfect graphics and severely limit who can play.
