Art Issues: Characters, Weapons, Armor - [Merged]

[Donari.5237]

Miss Lana posted this thread https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/121778/lighting-issues-with-hair-kits#latest (and I posted in it). Inculpatus Cedo points out that it might get more ANet eyes in here, so ... I'm helping! (short version, Elonan hair has very odd white splashes/slashes/sparkles in it in preview, though not once in the world).

Although i understand the majority of Players won't pay much mind to this, some (though few) like me will take notice upon years of gameplay and roleplay wise, specially when we settle for a look fitting of our own Character.

The following examples accure upon three of my own Charr characters; Two of which had never been known of any Clipping Issues until recent releases of the newest GW2 Chapter, Icebrewed Saga.

For the longest time i've played and created these characters, none had ever gotten any clipping issues, which later became a pretty notable part on their whole appearance after the recent additions to the game, hence causing some body types (though mostly noticed upon Male Charr Body Types) to clip through certain pieces of armor.

The image provided is an example of these Clipping issues, which ruined the whole appearance after having worn it for years:

Please if anyone of the Dev's or model fixers can take a moment to look into this, we'd appreciate a fix for these bodies considering they never had clipping issues until recent days. I hope this gets to you ANET.

The infusion effect get removed after unsheathing weapons on legendary armors. Unlike any other outfits and armor, its the only type of armor that is bug.

On an Asura, the Arcane Marksman Rifle spends 99% of the time stuck in the ground due to it's size(even on flat ground, whether just standing still or walking).

I want to put in a request that the size of the rifle is reduced on an asura.I hope you will consider it as it is such a beautiful rifle and it'll be a shame for it to spend all it's time clipping into the ground.Thank you.

Well this is a new one for me and definatly one that has never been there before...so recently came across this odd hair glitch from both Charr and Norn, so far only two kinds of hairstyles out of my characters in total...so here's the issue in regards to it.

I really love the new Wondering Cloud Chair and the Victory Rock Novelty, but there is something wrong with both of them: Charr on the Cloud Chair are off centered while charr on Victory Rock have many infusions floating to the side of them and not properly applied. It would mean a lot to charr players who have one or both of these great novelties, if Anet could make the charr look just as good as the other races do while using them.

Here is an example of the Wondering Cloud Chair being off center:

And here is an example of Infusions not being centered on Charrs while using victory rock:

[Antimony.1398]

The Victory Rock infusion misalignment is so frustrating and disappointing to see. You wait 7 years to get the cool rock then when you jump on it on your kitty and all your shinies shove to the side. I love my infusions, I want them to be on my charr not out in the air. It makes it look silly and makes me hate using the Victory Rock. I would love to see Anet fix this.

[Danikat.8537]

Oh, so it's just the infusions which are off-centre on the victory rock? That would explain why I never noticed, since my charr doesn't use infusions.

It's not the best screenshot (it's the only one I already had uploaded) but you can see here a charr is in the same position on the rock itself as other races:

[Antimony.1398]

It's not only infusions, it's also the aura from the legendary trinkets.

[AgentMoore.9453]

Male Human also seems misaligned on the cloud (but not as dramatically as the Charr). Doubtful if it'll happen, but there are actually a lot of posing, scaling, and animation problems across multiple chairs for many races.

Models clip noticeably into the chairs (and themselves), limbs twist off of the body, tails don't actually connect to the torso, hands and arms hover awkwardly above armrests, the animations of the Sylvari chair continuously snap/break the left elbow of male Sylvari etc.

I don't know if there's a 'designated chair dude', but going back to fix some of that in their spare time might be a worthy project considering how many chairs I don't buy because the visuals are janky.

Item: (Medium) Elegy Armour BracersRace : NornGender: FemaleClass : RangerDescription: The left-hand glove/hand is out of alignment with my character's arm, however the right one is fine.https://imgur.com/a/AmEr3Wnhttps://imgur.com/a/xvvwl4x (right hand for reference)https://imgur.com/a/9aYWEi2 (zoom)https://imgur.com/a/wP4zTxB (zoom, clearest image of hand misalignment)https://imgur.com/a/xGAAO2Q

Edit: I'm starting to think the problem may be that the left-hand wrist part of the glove is too thin compared to the right and that's why there's a misalignment, not that there is anything wrong with the left-hand glove itself, but I'm not 100% certain on this.

Description: as you can see in the pictures, I noticed that most of the old clothes show that terrible seam on the waist and I thought it was bcz of the "Winged Pants" but rather its in most of the revealing skins. However, the seam disappears when I use "Flamekissed" skins mixing with other skins, because surprisingly, when I tried the same skins on a Human race, there were no seams whatsoever and all skins blend in perfectly, so I assume its an issue with the Norn model?https://gyazo.com/df26d42def47a7472b6444f124b00568https://i.gyazo.com/df26d42def47a7472b6444f124b00568.pnghttps://i.gyazo.com/3b8dfcf4dc2fca30b92e0fe9fa8c5018.pnghttps://i.gyazo.com/6f88b4eae0350fee581b45b070d0edce.pnghttps://i.gyazo.com/4f17df431e92860888c2a06055125034.pnghttps://i.gyazo.com/0d4ad29e58b3d7a268a3fd4b67f6e8fa.pnghttps://i.gyazo.com/a1c38fd874f82aa90be9800fec69affb.png

To add to this, it occurs on medium and heavy armour professions too and it's still a problem - it must be an issue with the model. Please ANet fix it, there are so many norns in game.

[Ornitha.5862]

Item: Bounty Hunter's JerkinRace: SylvariSex: FemaleProfession: RangerThe right forearm is slightly thicker, bent outwards, and clips through longer gloves. The wrist also seems to be slightly disconnected from the hand which points outwards. I'm not really sure if this is an issue on human and norn characters (or male characters) too since they have similar character models to sylvari.Images:Disconnected handhttps://imgur.com/a/KzURIWxArm size comparisons (1 - both, 2 - left, 3 - right)https://imgur.com/a/a5nVTXDhttps://imgur.com/a/QRg8EuAhttps://imgur.com/a/b9Ikd89Arm clipping through gloves (shown - Prowler Gloves, Emblazoned Gloves, Council Watch Gloves - this happened on different pairs as well but these are just a few examples)https://imgur.com/a/1TUIRJ5https://imgur.com/a/PWfsMzShttps://imgur.com/a/GbeTwBX

The archon coat and flame legion coat skins are also bugged. It's really sad to watch the devs not care about skins that people have loved since launch...

[Bellbirds.1679]

Item: Archon CoatRace: CharrProfession: Elementalist, Necromancer, Mesmer.

The Archon Coat skin hides any glove armor, and you cannot even hide gloves to wear no gloves at all. This became the case a few months ago.https://ibb.co/SfZy5Y7

Item: Flame Legion CoatRace: N/AProfession: Ranger, Thief, Engineer.

Hides all glove armor and shows the Flame Legion gloves skin instead, which cannot be turned off. Began occuring at the same time as the Archon Coat bug.https://ibb.co/NSHpzpC

Here is a photo I found of before the bug. The character is wearing the Flame Legion coat skin and the Tier 2 Charr cultural medium gloves, which are not hidden by the coat skin:https://ibb.co/Rb8hXk1(Apologies for bad quality)

I went through screenshots and found that these issues were not present on the 8th of May, 2020, but were present on the 11th of August, 2020.Please fix this ANET! I have been using these skins for 8 years and not being able to use them in outfits I have used practically since launch is beyond heartbreaking. The two skins affected are the only two in the game that are programmed to hide any shoulder armor, so perhaps that is related to the issue.

[Dragon Priestess.9760]

There are red lined going along the skyscale's eyes and around it's hornes. They cannot be dyed and they stand out a lot and ruin a lot of the dye looks. If these lines could be fixed to match the rest of the dyable eye-marking slot, that would be great.

[Super Hayes.6890]

They are part of the skin? I ask because sometimes my graffic's settings eliminate issues I am having with skins when I adjust them up.

[Super Hayes.6890]

Sorry, I can't zoom in for some reason to see what you are talking about. I'll preview the skin when I get home tonight to give you a better answer.

I'm with you all the way on this, they must have bugged something with the models to descale so badly with the bodies that now clip...but to mess with the armors themselves as new content comes really is a bother...i really hope ANET eventually listens...otherwise i don't see the point of this Forum Thread if they don't at all.

Hello! I was directed here by a really helpful support person! <3

The issue I am having is with the Lunar Maned Skyscale!

When the skyscale does the "eat a fish" animation, the jaw clips into the face a lot and gets misaligned. Its a bit unsettling! As well as this, there are issues with the "red outline" on the face (mentioned above) that kind of mess up the look of the mount (esp if you use dyes they clash with the red), and some dyes (eg abyssal sea) have a weird accent colour on the wing and horns that does not seem to fit the rest of the dye/dragon's materials (I know many dyes have accent/secondary/under colours, but abyssal sea was the only one that looked super awkward and jarring when I played tested other dyes, which is unfortunate because I LOVE abyssal sea!)

I really like this skin, but these issues are going to stop me from using it. :'(

[Snytchell.7869]

Not really a character issue, but a general issue with the games textures, i've thought before that it was just me, but after asking some friends to test it out, no way that it is just my gaming having this graphic issue.

The light textures within the game seem to be messed up, i don't know what ANET did but it really is starting to affect the gameplay and the cutscenes as well, i'd advise people to look into this....

Another issue regarding the lightning shades...here's a preview of how it previously looked and how it looks now:

Before: After:

[Jables.4659]

I noticed an issue with the casual town clothes outfit years ago and unfortunately noted a similar issue today when I purchased the designer hoodie outfit with statuettes. When standing still, the outfit looks great, but as soon as you start moving a chunk of the outfit seemingly shreds into oblivion at the center of your chest. Its quite off-putting and ruins the outfits for me. I'm not sure if the problem exists on other race/gender combinations, but the following images show the problem on human male.
