After 2 and a half months of extreme farming and trading I was all to happy to see I got enough materials/item to buy fow armor, after I bought it for my favorite class - Ranger, I realized tat the Vest is clipping.
500 k vasted for an armor part that is clipping.
Isnt Fow armor suppose to be elite armor who is perfect in every way. Geez.
I hopw they fix this error, if you make elite armor make it look like its elite.
I feel like I got screwed over

This is a problem with everything, not just FoW,if they manage to fix it for FoW armor theyll fix it for the rest.
FoW armor isnt suppose to be perfect its suppose to be cooler looking then the max armor thats it, nothing else.

How it looks is completely irrelevant. FoW armor did look good in the original release, but has by now been mostly exceeded by new designs. At least in terms of aestetics. But looks were never the motivator behind FoW.

Make a male Nightfall PvP ranger and play with a few of the faces to see what they look like with a standard mask on and you'll see that there are still some very blatant cases of HORRIBLE clipping going on. I saw a post by someone who got Primeval armor for their female warrior only to find that the character's face clipped outside the helm. I still have a clipping problem with one of my rangers that makes the sides of his mask dissapear when viewed from a the front. He's my first character in GW (the one in my avatar), so I'm not going to delete him, but I would REALLY like to see A-net address these issues.

Sorry I'm a bit confused? I have Female Ranger FoW and I don't see any clipping, can you explain where the clipping is or post a screenshot?
What do you mean by the "Vesi" clipping?

Clipping is a graphical glitch...
My 15k Necrotic does it too, on the neck at the back.

Do you mean it clips with your guild cape? Many armor arts do that, and there's a very simple solution, disable the cape in all but PVP. As far as feeling screwed over, you spent approx. 1 million gold on one suit of armor, if I piled all seven of my suits of 15k together mats and all they wouldn't touch that price - so it's really a matter of personal perspective. I myself like the look of my Primeval Ranger armor much more than FoW armor, not to mention the fact that bone and fur are a lot cheaper than ecto and shards

OK here is what op was trying to say with typos fixed, yes i had a hard time to understand till i reread 3 times.
About the FoW looks,i said its suppose to, not what it really is used for.

Now you know why i stick to 1.5k armor.
FOW is not perfect in every way!Its just another set of armor, with a EXTREMELY insane price.
Just because sompthing is expensive dousnt make it good.

Haha ^^ Oh god, I needed Xenex's translation to get it.
I'm sure they'll fix it in the future - there are graphical glitches with all sorts of things. Such as: try some paragon shields on - the ones that I've checked/worn (Wandalz is a good one to try) have the shield clipping through character's bodies (if it's a non paragon) or floating quite a bit away from the arm that it's on/not connected to (if it's a paragon).

To be honest you got screwed over bigtime even if it dous look perfect.

And what's up with this glitch? (not mine though...it's a random screenshot in elona reach) 
I saw those graphic gliches on many armors. Strangely enough, not on mine (maybe other players can see it). I use radeon x1600 pro 512 mb graphic card, so it's not a problem with low quality or something.

Chaos axe too i hate it
i got one for first time then i cryed to see it was like that

All armors clip one way or another, its not just fow.
Its a problem with how the engine render the armor ontop of the skin.
This is why using any other pants other than the Ancient with the female Ancient trench coat clips.
So FoW or no FoW, Anet should fix armors in general but I do not think that this is a priority to them right now.

I think that these problems are minimal at best, Anet should (and does, apparently) focus on things that actually affect gameplay.

It makes me kinnda ask myself if they make an item you have to do a bit of grind for it, why do we have to be dissapointed after we get it?

See how the hair of the Elementalist is passing threw the collar the way it should look is either going over, or not show the hair past the top of the collar which I wish that’s the way it would look.
boxterduke
I was not happy when I saw that but what I'm saying that its part of the engine, its not that Anet says "ok these guys spent lots of time farming we need to make the engine render fow armors 100% correctly"
Also I'm not against you saying that its ok that armors clip, I hope they fix that but I'm sure they have lots of other things more important than armor clipping.

My brother claimed to get something like this after installing the GW client on a new system. After closing the game and relaunching, it fixed itself.
I used to see this error all the time in doing 3D art with multilayered transmaps exported from one 3D app and into another - specifically version 4 of Vue and on down before the 4.1 patch fixed it.
As for poke-through - that's a fact of life in 3D work / animation. Something to fix on a case by case basis in each animation and model. It can be fixed, and it is often not hard to do if you don't care about shape-distortions in the details... but they would have to refix it for every combination of props, animation, figures, and so on...
Which is perfectly justifiable in animation and still image art, and in fact a must do...
But in a game engine, you need speed over detail. At some point, it simply becomes more effective on the game to let the smaller errors go through. Higher priority needs to go to the more common combinations and the more glaring errors.
Cataclysm
FoW is a waste, it doesnt hold a candle to 15K Kurz warrior armor or Primevial Armor for NF.
As for graphical glitches, I noticed that occasionaly with ym necros hair and on the hair of other chars. It seems to have fixed itself. I have a 128MB ATi Radeon 9800Pro AGP so its not my l33t card either

How exactly is the Ranger Obsidian Armor clipping? I don't see how it could be, unless you're trying to wear a different set with it.

There are tons of clipping issues with FoW armor, with all armors really.
Necromancer FoW (male): Clipping at the crotch, piece of armor goes INTO the leg.
Ranger FoW (male, possible female): When doing the /flute command, boot bends in an awful way.
Warrior FoW (male): Chest piece+Arm pieces make NO SENSE when compared to the actual size of the warrior's chest or arms. The hands go from tiny to regular.
Mesmer FoW (male): Guild Capes go into the back of the armor.
And there are tons more...

Hate that too, the back of my Paragons head clips trough the back of his Elonian neck collar when I move.
Effendi Westland
female Mesmer FoW also has a graphical bug, been that way for 8 months or so.
The Silver Star
FoW is all nice in my opinion (except male mesmer :P) and even with the "clipping".. that comes with all armors not just FoW. As for farming that long to get it, it may be an achievment to you but most people found there FoW on e-bay so not many people really go "oh look he has FoW armor wow" like they used to +_+
As for the select them and egt the boxes around the "point-out" parts on some armors that is your computer because one of mine does that and the other doesnt therefor it must be your computer
But as for clipping problems they should all be fixed and tested before release for each COMPLETE armor set, as for people who mix and match there armor i mean they dont really need to sort clipping for that i mean imagine wearing a Teletubbie hat and a superman costume they werent designed to go perfectly into each other

Ah, I was a bit angry after I realized my armor has a clippping problem but in the end when i play with my Ranger i usaly look from his back there the clipping can not be seen.
Now I'm chilled and will just hav to live with that, I'm more of a perfectionist and it made me a bit frustraded. But It's only a game, servers will die sooner or later.
Priest Of Sin, you have crashed my hopes about Necro FoW.
