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


Recommended Posts

Perfected Envoy Jerkin has a couple of issues with it, the most namely one being that it causes items placed on the back (Two-handed weapons and backpieces) to float away from the character and appear in mid-air. A few other issues are that the sleeves on male characters cause the arms to become much more scrawny and on female models (human and norn) there is a skin texture in place on the stomach area. I'll detail more below.

Back items floating:
These first few screenshots show a Human Male character. This issue is far more noticeable on male characters than it is females.

Issue persists with backpieces as well:

Issue persists in combat stance:

Issue persists on other races:
Sylvari Male:

Norn Male:

Charr Male (Looks the same on Charr Female):

This issue is not as noticeable on female characters but still occurs. Here is a Female Human for reference:

It is worth noting here that this issue as well as the following issues DO NOT OCCUR for the Refined Envoy Jerkin and Experimental Envoy Jerkin. This post will already be long enough so I'll refrain from posting all of them but below is just one example of the Refined Envoy Jerkin displaying normal behavior with back items.

It is also worth noting here that this issue resolves itself with a cape backpiece.

(Weapon shown is Greatsword: Kymswarden | Backpiece is Dragon Emblem Cape)
I've tested it, it works with numerous cape items and is the only thing to resolve the issue.

Scrawny Sleeves:
This issue isn't as noticeable of one if you wear a bulky gloves item. For all male characters (since they are the ones with sleeves) the character's arms become much thinner and this does not change in combat stance or through use of any other items. When you compare the Refined or Experimental variants side-by-side it is very noticeable. The following screenshots will show both.

Human Male:

Skin Textured Armor:
This last one isn't so much of an issue more of just a consistency problem. For Female characters excluding the Sylvari, there is an added skin texture on the stomach of the character that is affected by dye and does not change in or out of combat stance. My assumption is that this was intentional in some way either as a combat only effect or just a permanent change to the armor (as this skin texture does not exist for Refined or Experiment variants). However, this skin texture does not exist on Female Sylvari.

Human Female:

https://gyazo.com/ee25eb8cdb6b889b8b88a991c649d92d (Refined for reference)

Sylvari Female:
https://gyazo.com/611614a8b91a4cc9c62145f123d5b6a6 (Out of combat Perfected)
https://gyazo.com/240bd6b0693502390ad28143de12afb0 (In combat Perfected)
Note that the metal pieces on the breast part come out, this occurs normally for Norn and Humans as well.


This post was very long with a lot of details and I thank you for taking the time to look it over. I am a huge fan of Medium armor classes and was very excited to finally get the Perfected Envoy armor after working hard to acquire it. It has really put a damper on my day to deal with these issues (most namely the floating back item and scrawny arm issues) and I along with many other players with this armor I know would be extremely grateful and thankful for whoever is able to put in the time to help resolve these issues with the armor piece.

Hello,


I just purchased the Foefire skin and transmuted a set of armor. It was working immediately, I entered an sPVP match, then the animated stopped working. Now the armor animation (lit candles and most of the lighting) doesn't work at all on any character anywhere in-game.


The skin is very expensive, so I'd greatly appreciate someone looking into the issue.


Please let me know, thanks much.
P.S.
This seems to be an on-and-off issue. The skin's animations have returned to working out of nowhere.

But will see if the bug continues.

Yet again, the animations are not working, so the issue seems to be on-and-off. 
Starting working out of nowhere, put on another character and it worked, switched maps and characters again, and it's stopped working.

I noticed a huge difference in the way the armor looks with different types of lighting. When it's darker or night.  I can see the fire very well and the glowing runes or w/e they are called.  When its mid day in game I hardly notice either.

  • Race & Sex - Norn Female
  • Hello, just wanting to report a missing texture specific to Norn Females only.

    When Wearing the Mistforged Glorious Hero's Breastplate OR Slumbering Mistforged Glorious Hero's Breastplate, there is no Texture on the neck area of a female Norn with that armor chest piece, with or without infusions, 0 textures.

  •  

    Skin on the neck, doesn't even go with the face skin color or the rest of the body when wearing that chest peice.

    If I put on any body infusion, such as Frost Legion infusion, Winter's heart, Or snow diamond. Every other body texture is affected by the infusion BUT the neck part.

    Uploading multiple pictures with the female norn missing texture and comparing to a female human, link below as about 6 pictures.

the shield still clips. no sign of hope for the asuran race. they most likely have to evolve into an one armed species.

Sir, still repporting daily clipping. The number of casualty due to arm trying to merge with the shield are risimg each day.

In-game the metal parts remain blue/silver even when dyed. However, the correct colours show in the character selection screen. Take a look: 

How it looks in character selection screen (The correct colours):

How it looks in-game:

I think it's more related to how the texture of the metallic parts on that armour reflects different lightings.

Is there any difference on those parts between being in the Gendarran Fields and being in one of the PoF maps?

The Holographic Dragon Helm is bugged on Human males. I was only able to test it on heavy armor so I don't know if it's all armor types or just heavy. No other races had the bug.

 

I had another player send me a screenshot of my character and they could also see the bug. They logged onto their character and the helm was even more bugged for them than it was me.

Here are screenshots that show the issue. For some reason new 3d assets and textures are being added to the helm that shouldn't be there.

Edit: I FIGURED OUT THE BUG! It's the hair! The players hair is clipping through the helmet, the helmet then applies the armors texture to the hair and bugs it out. If I make my character bald the bug disappears.

Adding a cause for the bug.
