Please post in this thread if you come across a significant bug related to the textures, placement, or effects for the following:
- Armor/clothing
- Weapons
- Character models
General Guidelines
- Take a screenshot of the issue
- Take a screenshot of your equipment on the Hero Panel (H)
- Host on an image hosting site, such as Imgur, GYAZO, Lightshot, Flickr, TinyPic, etc.
- If you have a video of the issue, upload to YouTube (unlisted)
- Post the image or video link(s) in your report
- Describe the problem
- List your Race, Sex, and Profession
If the issue relates to clothing/armor/weapons
- List the names and level requirement of every piece of armor/clothing/weapon that your character had equipped when you encountered the issue
- If you can, list where you acquired the item -- which NPC, what map location, which dungeon, etc.
Note on clipping issues: While we understand that players would like us to eradicate all clipping issues, some minor issues cannot be fixed. For the purposes of this thread, please restrict your reports to severe clipping issues. For instance, your shield is impaling you or your daggers are completely hidden by your coat. Things like hair clipping or minor clipping of weapons into armor are sometimes unavoidable and we appreciate your help in focusing on the major issues.
For issues related to map art, please post in this thread.
We appreciate everyone's help with these issues. Thank you!

Item: Spearmarshal Outfit
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class: N/A (Guardian)
Description:
The new 'Spearmarshal' outfit from the "Path of Fire" expansion has a few clipping issues around the waistline and upper legs on males when either on a slight slope (worse when on severe inclines) and even while just standing idling on flat ground in places such as cutscenes. Here's some examples, and sorry for the quality:

Description: I used a total makeover kit, changed my old face/fur colo/hair to what it is in the pictures now, and the glasses clip through my face. I did not have this issue before the makeover change, and I do not have it on other charr characters. I have to note that they all have different faces.

Item: Chuka and Champawat
Race : Sylvari
Gender: Female
Class : Ranger
Description: Unlike with other legendaries what give people dozens of footprints going behind them, Chuka only gives me about 4 before they disappear. At PAX West, one of the devs suggested I try putting Chucka on a character of a different race and seeing if that makes a difference. I put it on my human thief and the same thing happens. I'd love to be able to show off my footprints like everyone else

haven't tested males or other races, so not sure if the issue is only for female human.
Makes the neck look grey, with a very ugly seam to the head.
it doesn't show in the preview window on the Hero Panel or character select screen.
(this issue also made me notice that every single character have some sort of visible neck seams, though it's worst on humans. but this is harder to spot and doesn't bother me as much)

Can we please report every instance of major Charr Tail Clipping here?
Minor clipping to me sounds like Banded Shoulders clipping through the character's shoulders/arms at certain angles, and odd armors interfering with each other (Usually extreme spikes) But outfits and armors completely ignoring a piece of anatomy (Especially since so many similar make an attempt to avoid it) seems Major.
Race: Human
[Grenth's Regalia Outfit]
Race: Human male, Norn male, Sylvari male.
[All gliders]
Ive noticed all gliders on abovementioned races are on the wonk. This has been annoying me greatly.
Especially visible on the Classical Glider skin due to its square and angled shape you can see that Human male tilts heavily to the right no matter what mode, Norn appears permantly crooked pointing ever slightly to the left instead of forward when sprinting. Sylvari male, like human, tilts to the right.
Gem store glasses are too small and badly positioned on male and female charr.

Thank you for your hard work and I hope this information is helpful to you.

Human male
Vigils Honor Tassets
The Vigils Honor Tassets appear to have the last few centimeters of the pant cut off, giving all boots that rely on pant texture to become awkardly exposed. Makes otherwise intimidating designs look like slippers.

There is a very strange Red Line going down the center of the front. Looks like a flaw in the UV unwrapping. I have chosen color to emphasize the issue.

I wanted to submit my weapon idea for the contest, but my zip file and all the instructions aren't working
I just gender swapped/renamed my Charr engineer from male to female with one of the newest faces, NO REGRETS! However, a lot of the head pieces centered around the eyes do not line up with the face! Some pics to see (not shown is bloodstone visage where the attach points for the glow is on her eyebrows, so any others with attach points there will also display above the eyes.)
Please adjust these attach points Anet, I love my new Holokitty, but can't use these skins as they are.
Gemstore item I can#t use on character;
Plus lots more helm items, that do not line up with this face! It's a cute face and I want to use it with some skins.
Better get a wriggle on.
Charr Female, Medium armor. Most of these either sit just barely above the eyes on this particular(and the other special faces offered) Cut the eyes off completely etc.
Glasses
all the masks
nightmare court eye piece
not centered on face
the worst offenders are these two though, because they are cultural armor.
Tier 1 Hovers, barely cuts off eyes
Tier 2 Hovers, cuts off eyes

Female Asura
2015 Wintersday Release New Hair
Sample_4.png Sample_1.png (Reusing the comment I left over a year ago on the previous Guild Wars 2 issues thread)
The hair is nice, but when a character moves with said hair, the front bangs clip right into the asura’s forehead and the hair behind just stretches out like the world's finest plastic bag…
Sample_2.png Sample_3.png Sample_5.png I’m not sure if that’s part of the flow of the hair, but it’s kinda weird when I have to fall downwards be it glider or transportational jumping pad and see the hair stretching out like a miniature tower, rivaling that the size of an asura.
Considering the other hair styles of asura that have bangs that easily rise with the hairline, it should be doable to recreate that on the latest hair as well.

Race: Asura
Gender: Male
Class: N/A
Description: The right eyeball of this particular asura face tends to pop out and clip through the eyelid. This is especially noticeable in cut-scenes. This is occurs when you try to make the eyes smaller (with full squinting etc).

Pretty much the same with Bifrost as well.

Issue: The female charr neck clips the neck of Legendary Medium Armor. This happens on every body type.
Settings: Any

Or a dev can just go test it ingame... It's not like it's invisible or anything. It's very visible and apparent, a surprise that it has been overlooked.
Please fix this. I've worked very hard on this armor, and really disappointed there is still this issue.
Race: Norn
Gender: Male
Class: Warrior
Description: The pants of the original Braham set have a gaping hole in the back where body armor meets pants, staring into a skin-colored void. The bug is visible with more or less every existing body armor combination, and this issue seems to have been present since the very beginning since the only reference to it I could find was from over four years ago.

The problem isn't too well highlighted in an image, but take them to equipment preview and turn your character around a little and the problem becomes glaringly obvious.

Gender: Both
Class: N/A (any which can wear light armor)
Description: There is no hole for tail design-wise and it is a T3 cultural - which means anyone without a tail can't even wear it! Tail simply clips through. Please fix it. It was driving me up the wall for literally years.

Race: Charr

Description: Natural neck and tail are visible and are not covered in "molten" texture (mantle is hidden so it is more visible). Tail clipps through the 'skirt' which is at the back of the leggings. This is an award for min of 30000 achievement points, and has to be at least somewhat usable on a character. Please look into it and fix it.

Item: Elonian Tassets/Spearmarshal Tassets & Shields
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class: Guardian (any heavy armor user)
Description:
The Elonian and Spearmarshal tassets (leg heavy armor) has a round metal disc on them at the back that clips insanely with any shield you have equipped when said shield is stored on your character's back out of combat, this really doesn't look good at all. Here's an image of the Elonian Wallshield/Sunspear Wallshield clipping through it:
It might be better to have some other detail replace the disc on the legs, as I'd imagine it couldn't be moved without other issues occurring, and making it smaller would probably look odd as it'd have to be incredibly small not to clip with anything else. It's a shame because I liked the idea of the piece, and the tassels that hang from it are a nice detail I'd hate to lose. Maybe some kind of cloth knot attached to the far left side on the belt at the back with the tassels hanging from it?
Item: The Flameseeker Prophecies
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Class: Mesmer & Guardian
Description:
For as long as I can remember (& according to the Guild Wars 2 wiki), The Flameseeker Prophecies is supposed to animate with the flip of a page on the book that is mounted on the shield every time you attack/cast a spell.
Recently I noticed that regardless of the main-hand weapon I'm using, my legendary shield will not perform the animation except for when I draw the weapon.
I posted two videos below from YouTube showing my Female Human Mesmer and my Female Human Guardian who both display the problem.
Could this be a glitch/bug in regards to Female Human characters and the legendary shield?
Or am I going crazy? Because last I recall the shield used to light up and turn a page upon all my attacks regardless of my class or main-hand weapon.

Thanks in advance for any assistance/help on this issue!
Item: Spearmarshal's jerkin
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Class: Engineer
Description:
Dramatically changes the skin tone of the player character, on the revealed shoulder and arms.
Here's an example .
Here is an example of the Elonian jerkin NOT causing the tone change.
Not an item specific problem, so I'm note sure whether this is the right thread for it ...
Race: Sylvari
Gender: Male
Class: Necro
My character seems to be leaning towards the left a bit. It's barely noticable, but still very irritating. This is not part of his idle animation, as I jumped right before I took the screenshot. A more severe instance happens at times when I dismount - the whole upper body is contorted towards the left. Mounting and dismounting usually fixes it. I'll try to get a screenshot tomorrow.

Item: Elonian Vestments (light armor)
Race: Sylvari (but probably on any race)
Gender: Female
Class: Necromancer (but probably on any class)
Unlike on any other chest armor, the weapons (mainhand, offhand) are a little bit too far placed from the hips, regardless of the chosen pants.
Probably related to the wide pant style of this set.
https://imgur.com/a/tk7ZC
Stuff used:
Wreath Masque skin on ascendet head piece. (Svaard's Masque)
Shoulder Scarf skin on ascendet shoulder piece. (Svaard's Epaulets)
Elonian Vestments skin on ascendet chest piece. (Svaard's Doublet)
Primitive Handwraps skin on ascendet hand piece. (Svaard's Wristguards)
Embroidered Pants skin on ascendet pant piece. (Svaard's Breeches)
Spearmarshall's Shoes skin on ascendet shoe piece. (Svaard's Footwear)
Zojja's Reaver and Zojja's Artifact with Viridian Antique skins.
I have another one. I really don't know what happened there, but ouch.. i don't think this is supposed to happen.
I was just flying around, landed and somehow the whole thing glitched and remained static in this 'T-Pose'. I was able to run around like this.

Happened on the same character as above.

Race: Sylvari
Gender: Male
Class: Ranger
Description:
The left arm of my character gets stuck or broken. Im not sure what is triggering it but it happens when im in combat. Its a bit random and dose not happen all the time but its still frequent enough to notice it. Its also kinda amusing a little. Getting on a mount fix the arm being stuck/broken.

Item: Bounty Hunter's Vestments (light chest armor)
Character: Human female
Class: Weaver
Description:
This particular chest armor makes my character's mainhand weapon (no matter what skin or weapon type I use) sit very high on her waist and stick out almost horizontally to the back.
I'm sure this is related to the Bounty Hunter's Pants, which have feathers that would otherwise probably clip with the weapon if it wouldn't stick out a little bit. However, I am not wearing these pants as you can see in the screenshot below, so I'm not sure why the chest armor would still make the weapons go out of place like that.
This is enough of an issue to me to not wear this particular chest armor at all.

Screenshot of the proper weapon placement with Illustrious Doublet
https://i.imgur.com/XUzXO7M.jpg
Edit: This bug seems to happen with any piece of the Bounty Hunter's armor set equipped (helm, shoulders, gloves, chest, boots), not just the chest armor. Just as described in the post above, weapon displacement happens whether or not you have the Bounty Hunter's Pants on or not. This makes the entire armor set unusable, even if you only want to use a single piece.
Item: Warbeast Pants (light armor pants)
Character: Human female
Class: Necromancer
Description:
When standing idle the cloth part of the pants clips horribly. It happens on both legs. I've tried every possible body type and the problem persists.

For some reason the backpack isn't connected to the back. At first I thought it was an issue with the back piece but it appears to only be on one character. I put two images so you can compare two human male characters and clearly see the difference.
I noticed this 2 years ago but never bothered to report it, now it goes on my nerves a little lol

Item: Any back item (Warcry for demonstration)
Race: Charr
Gender: Female
Profession: Thief (Daredevil)
Description: The backpack on a Charr thief using the Unhindered Combatant trait (the Daredevil's dash evade) will flip sideways during the animation, clipping heavily into the player model.
Video of the problem
It's apparent that the attachment point for the backpack does some weird stuff when this animation plays. This issue is present with all back items I have tested.
Item: Any Back item
Character: Male Norn
Issue: When I am mounted on my griffon, any back item I'm wearing will shrink and vanish when I walk to the right (walk while on the ground). The back item will remain unchanged if I walk in a slow speed or if flying, otherwise it will shrink and disappear whenever I walk to the right while grounded.
image link is an image of when the back item is normal.
image link shows how the back item shrinks when walking to the right while mounted on griffon.
Please fix this, it is an eyesore to the experience... Thank you!
Item: Perfected Envoy Vestments (Light Armor)
Race: Sylvari
Profession: Mesmer
Gender: Female
So there's been a severe issue with the transformation animation playing on the vestments since about late may this year. The chest piece transforms just fine when going into combat, but going out of combat causes the transformation to mess up and not play correctly. You should be able to see what I'm getting at in the images provided. Please if you can fix this I'd be very grateful, thank you.

Problem: There is significant clipping with this chest piece on the smaller figure options; the sides clip and the flaps clip.
Also, I think it is safe to say that the same thing probably occurs on the Elonian Vestments as well.
