Xhang.7352 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Most armors(seems like all) in this game only looks good on human. On other races always looks weird with improper scaling. Weapons also have this problem. Nord female leg armor looks like a cone(idk how to describe 🥴) *Dont let me march for justice at lion arch 7 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moony.5780 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I agree. There are often miles away from my shoulder and the armor piece on the shoulder. Also most armor dont look good on charr. And its confusing me that female human are half naked but female charr are not allowed to show their fur. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My female nord shoulder armor looks like a luggage strap on it. Big big shoulder 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, that one's easy. The new outsourcing artists didn't get the memo that female charr have nothing to hide on their chest. Floating pauldrons and shoulder armor is trickier to pinpoint, though. Prolly just lazy modelling. Some small pieces get really close to the model, so l dunno why big pieces need to float around. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akisohida.8963 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 It's also kind of funny that lots of Charr headsets float above their heads. Makes me hide most headsets on my Charr characters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanfear De Noir.9127 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Charr armor looks awful. If the armor fit better, more people would probably play Charr. Asura armor looks terrible. It just doesn't look right, doesnt fit. Both Charr/Asura(to a lesser degree) females get the short end of the stick. EG: outfits that have male and female variants are not the case for Charr/Asura. they just get the male variant. Why? Charr and Asura females would LOVE to wear a feminine outfit. There are a couple of outfits that 'allow' Charr and Asura to wear feminine outfits, but why not all?  This has stopped me from buying outfits. The older armors also need a rework as they are chunky and blurred... Time for a rework ArenaNet!

Batel.9206 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Male sylvari and almost every coat or long robe billowing out at the hips... Enormously oversized shoulderpads floating ten inches away from charr shoulders. (Or male sylvari. Again.) If those could be fixed, it would be amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I haven't done my ranting about the "everfarts" in this thread yet. Even the Savage loincloth has it, luckily it's only little. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason.1083 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Human models seem easier, so that's probably why. Luckily for myself I prefer making human characters, but yeah one of the reasons why I avoid other races, especially Asura/Charr is because I know I won't find a good looking armor combo, everything's clunky, at least more so than humans. Sounds like a lot of work to do purely for aesthetic so I don't see it happening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why it look good on humans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly hate this stretching when it comes to Norn because the stretching can be quite obvious with the lack of detail showing. It's essentially enlarging pixels over more space. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungrul.9358 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Weapon scaling's also off for the larger races, and most noticeable on Norn women. A sword that would look normal when sheathed will clip through the floor on a Norn woman, unless it a particularly short sword. Daggers also look like swords, and greatswords are just ridiculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
