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

[Scott Cindershot.9817]

Model: Human Male
Armor: Aetherblade Blindfold
Type: Head piece. Heavy, Medium, and Light

Issue: Clips with all exclusive male faces and multiple others. Links below show all the affected faces - 22 in total. The original blindfold model "Mist Scrim" heavy headpiece does not have this clipping issue.

[Lobodomy.8045]

Race: Sylvari
Gender: Female
Class: Guardian (I'm guessing all classes have this though)
Item: Arborist Leggings together with Arborist Coat (Sylvari tier 1 heavy cultural armor set)

Issue: The Arborist Leggings and Arborist Coat have a very noticeable seam at the waist which from what I can tell is caused by the part of the leggings that mimics your character's skin seemingly being glossier and the light reflection on them not lining up with the bare skin part of the Arborist Coat. If there's any possibility of this being fixed I would be ever grateful as it is my favorite armor design in the game.

Day 34 of Charr still not sitting properly on the Canthan Noble Skyscale Mounts. My request for a refund has been denied and still no fix. I will continue to submit bug reports and tag GW2, Anet, and NCSoft West on Twitter daily until its fixed or my refund request is approved.

Not going to post pictures here cause i am too mad atm. The last patch broke one of my favorite items completely: The forest archer cape and the forest scout cape are ruined completely because of clipping fails that WASN'T there before patch!!! I wouldnt even post here, if this werent my favortite item and the 13912647638164 time this happened to me. I used so many makeover kits over the time because of some clipping errors (of course always coming with the patches, before everything is super fine). I no longer have the mood nor the will (nor the money) to purchase more things from gemstore, because they will get ruined aynways in some later timeby any patches for SOME UNKNOWN REASON. Sorry for this kind of rant but destroying ym favorite item in game completely ruined it for me and allt he things that already happened to me now seems so obvious again! Why do this even happen, i dont get it. U do good job on creating items then ruin it? WHY?

EDIT: Its on every race: CHARR, NORN, HUMAN, ASURA, SYLVARI so fixing would take you too much time, i guess

Elegant Canthan outfit on females, the leggings dye is overridden by infusions and make you look super naked underneath.

The Minstrel (Generation 1 Legendary Focus) is missing the staff lines / swirls during the draw animation and on the arm effect. 

 

Here a video for reference, showing the draw animation and drawn weapon on my mesmer:

Switching to different graphic options like turning off DX11, using lower settings etc.  than shown in the video did not change the visuals to normal; neither did turning off trinket effects  or unequipping infusions change the visuals. 

 

Race/Class/Gender tested on:

1. Human Male Guardian
2. Human Female Necromancer
3. Sylvari Male Mesmer

Added some additional information about testing with Trinkets.

[Martzi.7341]

All the exotic EoD encient armor sets has a dyeable glowing effect, but the Ancient Kraken Armor set (heavy) has some problems.

While the female version changes effect color correctly uppon dyeing, the male version allways stays on the base smokie/whiteish/pale color and only changes color on head and boots piece.

Huh, you're right, that does look bad.  They Should adjust the position of the sheathed Crucible sword as you ask.

The female charr face with ritual scars and cheek frills added with the Nov 30 patch has a mesh wightmapping error. A point on the upper left lip is erroneously mapped to a jaw/lower lip bone. It looks extremely jarring during any kind of talking animation. It's been like this since it was added. Screenshots on Imgur.

[int randInt return.7810]

The Void-Corrupted Orb backpiece has 4 dye channels, but none of them seem to do anything.

Tried on all races, a couple genders.

The following issue seemed to affect the chest, hands and leg armour on my character.

 

Yesterday I had multiple crashes within a few minutes of each other, but only on one character. At first I could log in and move the camera before crashing. By the fifth crash I couldn't even log into the character at all.

 

Before the crash occurred I noticed some armour glitching out as well as a particular Sylvari looking rather unlike himself. Seemed like he was having an identity crisis and parts of my own character model/textures were replacing his. (Screenshots linked below) Sometimes the affected armour pieces wouldn't render at all.

Note: Updating my graphics drivers from 512.xx to 516.94 seems to have fixed the problem so far. Posting this just in case it's useful.

Female norn offhand dagger, stabbing my leg since 2012

[Xaina.5418]

Every second time I change the map my newly crafted legendary Scepter Xiuquatl bugs in a way where I can barely see my own character.
It really makes me wish the support would refund me and give me my legendary materials back cause wearing this buggy-legendary weapon is not fun at all.

Do others experience this too? Any solutions how to prevent this bug? Is ArenaNet aware of that bug? I repoted it ingame but it doesn't seem to get noticed.

That happens to me with my female norn necromancer

[Batel.9206]

I'm so glad that finally we can choose which mount skin we want from the original pack. Thank you for adding this option.

 

That said...er. I chose the Highlands Harrier griffon skin...I thought I could dye it blue instead of its original color, red, but no matter what color I dye it, the outlines of red feathers remain.

All white

All black

All blue

...and so on.

I don't actually have a griffon yet (still workin' on it), so I can't see the skin out-and-about in the world to know if those red outlines are just a visual glitch on the dye screen, or if they remain no matter what. That's pretty disappointing if the red outlines are permanently there. (I did in fact do a -repair on the game client. It solved a few other bugs, but did nothing for this one.) If it's just a visual glitch on the dye selection screen, that's no big deal, but if it's permanently there...well, stupid me for not doing research about it before I spent all those gems, I guess. 😕

[Edit: I'd have put this in the bugs forum, but as I said: I don't know if it is a glitch or if it's genuinely meant to be that way.]

Some clarification

[Randulf.7614]

So the one they said would never get a select version, now has one? That’s pretty good if so

[Danikat.8537]

I was very happy to see this as well. I don't want as many of those skins as I originally did because I've got good alternatives now, but there's still a few I'd like to have and it's nice to finally be able to get them.

My guess is either someone new came in and made a different decision, or they realised it's increasingly looking like a weird anomaly or even a mistake to not have a select licence for them. Or just that they can get more sales this way because some people will never buy the random licences but will buy some select ones.

Most likely reason.

How can I get the free skin? I don't see it on gem store.

It's not there yet. It's coming later this month.

So far they've done a free black lion key, total makeover kit and that 'friends' package and there's supposed to be more freebies this week and next week. My guess is the mount skin will be the last one.

(quoting myself for visibility)

So my thread got moved to the bug forum and merged with the 'art issues' thread. I guess it's safe to assume this is a glitch. Well, that's reassuring - it's not meant to be like that and will hopefully get fixed at some point.
