I like that the chest was fixed but did they change the helmet model? Seems over-sized now.

Confirmed. My friend is freaking the hell out because of this, she really cares about that helm.

Please fix this asap Anet.. we were not very rich people and getting the 20g for just this helm which she now hates is really aggravating.

Honestly Anet what were you thinking?
Look at how RIDICULOUS this is.

PLEASE change it back.

Okay so it wasn’t just me going crazy. It looks so goofy now

I like it. pst2shrt

The T3 heavy armor has been changed as well. The shoulders have been shrunk. The shoulders and helm have also been “rubberized.” Honestly, I’m disappointed. The clipping was only really apparent in combat. This just looks terrible all the time.

Wow… I’m not a fan of the shoulders on my light 3 armor, I can’t even remove them by unchecking them, because, they are now actually part of the chest armor entirely.

Fix this Anet, I should have the choice to show or hide the shoulders on that armor.

the chest wasnt fixed, seems like instead of making shoulders visible they added flaps to the chest that collide with your arms and neck, I’m not sure how but the legs were ruined most of the pouches on the belt are collapsed or warped and the robe parts intersect now, makes me wish I had my gold back for the gear and the gem bought stones I used to make my gear look this way

attached is a 30 second collage of my disapointment minus the oversized helmet which has already been adressed, includes how the robe part used to look on the top left and how it looks now on the right bottom corners are the new “shoulders”

Wow! The metal covers over the ears were great before, and now that they’re flexible and yet still metallic, they just look weird. I hope they switch it back to how it used to be, because I don’t like how this looks one bit.

That said, I’m happy with the smaller shoulders.

Honestly, I don’t know how I feel about the smaller shoulders. They make the armor look less bottom heavy with the helm hidden, so I suppose I could get used to them. But the flexing still looks odd. I notice it on a few other metallic shoulder pieces, but it’s quite extreme on these shoulders. Better than half the shoulder disappearing into my character’s chest every time he moves his arm I suppose. The helm is staying hidden until they fix those ear pieces though.

I wonder if anything would have been done if I didn’t bring these issues to light. I kind of feel responsible for this. And I was just beginning to come to terms with the clipping too.

ughhh gross.
i appreciate their attempt to give female t3 light wearers their shoulder armor skin, but why the frog can’t they just put the skin on the shoulder armor instead of pasting it onto the chest piece? as it is now you can’t dye it the way you want or hide it… -.-

that and the massive, oversized ear flaps has totally ruined my Zojja lookalike.
ughh, huge waste of 100+ gold if they won’t fix this.

totally ruined.
i want to smack somebody.

Zojja / my copy before / my copy now

the hat looks totally hideous. and why the hell can’t you hide the friggin shoulders they are so ugly. seriously what the hell.

Oh come on. Please tell me this isn’t happening. I wasn’t at home yet after the patch, and I’m already afraid to see my character.

I spent lots of time earning the gold to buy the whole t3 light armor. After a lot of work searching for matching weapons and coloring I was finally satisfied with the overall looks of my character. I would really appreciate to get what I actually saw and bought and not these ridicolous earflaps.

Please fix this (including the shoulder pieces you can’t hide and that clip through nearly everything)!

If you thought those little strips of fabric on your shoulders clip through everything, my old T3 heavy shoulders would blow your mind. Half of the pauldron would bury itself in my character’s chest every time he moved his arm. Thanks to anet’s “fix” my pauldrons are now made of rubber. They don’t clip anymore, but they still look silly.

And you think your oversized hat is bad? Try having a metal helm that behaves like it’s made out of silly putty.

Not sure if it’s changed for asura T3 medium, spot the diffrence if you can: http://i.imgur.com/UJF306v.png

I have changed the dyes around, so thats not a diffrence.

I already postet it in the bug/clipping/character art section, but to make my mood and concerns more understandable for you, I attached some screens – there is nothing that doesn’t clip at the moment…

So unhappy right now, I don’t want these huge ear flaps.

Every time I go into combat, my shoulder sticks through these ugly chest flaps.

Make it stop, make it stop. I could cry :’(

They should have just changed the male armor to that of the females. Instead of the inverse. At least we all can deal with the clipping issues now.

This armor set is why I made my mesmer an asura; please fix it Anet!

Here are my comparing images!

Lol, I actually had a fully end geared level 80 human mesmer and rerolled asura for it. So sad

My god you’re right, they ruined my helmet
I beg you Anet, please change it back!

haha, I rolled asura mesmer for this as well. Loved the Golemancer look and wanted it to look like my suit was generating the holograms/illusions.

Please fix Anet, Old Helmet Rocked.

Yep noticed changes to heavy armor my self… last patch they rubberized my charrs t3 heavy shoulders, and now my asuras t3 heavy helmet… Arena net sure loves rubber-.-

My charrs shoulders are still rubberized, and it causes some really weird graphical glitches, have been reported several times and not fixed.. wouldnt cross my fingers for this getting fixed either :/

The funny thing is, that there was no need to change the light armor skin. If they just added the seperate shoulder piece, everyone would be happy…

The female t3 light armor was nearly clipping free before the patch (apart from some clipping of the hands through the metal piece of the right arm metal thingy skin, when wielding e.g. a great sword). Now the bags on the belt behave like rubber. You can see them jump with every breath and movement of the char, stretching as they please. The legs clip through the skirt. The skirt triangle clips through the “underskirt”, the shoulder piece is glued to the breast piece and to the upper arm, so it also stretches… So having seen all this, I could actually live with the ear flaps, that would be a minor problem compared to the rest.

I hope they just reroll some parts of the last patch includingt the t3 armor, because otherwise there will be a small chance of this being fixed soon.

The problem is, that they actually broke major parts of the game (flying, bugging moas in Lions Arch, characters, npcs and enemies not rendering at all, boss battles unplayable due to culling and skillaggs, broken guesting system used to abuse daily boss chests, dungeons fully bugged and unplayable etc. see bug section for further information). A rollback would be the best thing to do right now. I like the new contents, but that doesn’t help me at all, if the rest of the game is broken.

This. And the worst thing is, because they made the shoulders part of the chest piece, I can’t pick seperate colors for them! I either mess up my shoulders or my chest piece. My favorite armor is just ruined…

My Ele is being shelved till this is fixed, it’s just too horrible to play with.

I zoom out to max distance when playing. Still it bugs me knowing the problems are there. And I also tend to zoom in inbetween just to watch my character (e.g. when waiting for a map boss).

The destroyed armor – adding up with some game breaking bugs they introduced with the last patch – reduces my motivation to play to 0.

Yup. I really don’t like logging in to be greeted by my rubbery armor. I think it’s best if anet just rolls back these armor “fixes” until they can figure out a better solution.

Quick note, I don’t mind that my shoulders have shrunk, but the rubber helm is unforgivable.

It’s nice to have the shoulders. But there are some slight issues with them.

Attached is an image.

I hope they fix this, but since they haven’t fixed the placement of 2 handed weapons on our backs since beta i doubt they will get these fixes in there anytime soon either.

That’s different. This is just a matter of reverting changes.
My mesmer is being shelved untill this is fixed, she looks ridiculous..

Glad to know I’m not the only one who’s bothered by this. I had just gotten the armor the DAY before they broke it. I hope it gets fixed. For 119 gold that armor shouldn’t be bugged. Seems asuras get ignored a lot when it comes to asthetics.

The shoulder-clipping issues have been there since the launch. I ended hating the armor I farmed for weeks, unaware the shoulders were that bugged.
It make me wish I could just turn them invisible instead of having them glued to the chest.

It’s sad they took the time to add a pair of legs to an elemental but still didn’t bother correct the shoulders. :-|
I paid 119 gold for this, I expect it to have more quality. ;__;

They only should have changed the shoulders (AND NOTHING ELSE) and everything would have been wonderful! But no, now we are stuck with a ruined helmet and shoulders/chest we can’t dye correctly anymore.

I like how you all are complaining about something that us male Asura have had to already deal with. Get over it. Learn to look past the clipping like I have and many others.

So just because you had this problem, everyone should have it and no one has the right to complain?

If you actually read what we said instead of immediately speaking your mind without knowing what you are talking about, you’d know that clipping is just one of many issues.

I’m sorry I forgot about the tearing and the stretching… oh and not to mention the HUGE hole on the left side of the leggings (when looking down). If you guys can’t look past some of the small problems then an MMO isn’t for you.

Who are you to decide what is for us and not? Good for you if you can live with it, but still, we paid 130 gold (119 for a RARE set to transmute into an EXOTIC one) for an armor that stretches in horrible way. Even worse: the glitchy parts are on the shoulder, an armor element we’re supposed to be able to hide/unhide at our will, but for an unknown reasons they’re part of the coat.

I wouldn’t mind if the armor was around 10 or 5 gold, but it’s not the case. Some of us spent a good amount of time farming for this set only to obtain something bugged.

What is seen cannot be unseen. I got annoyed to see this glitch to a point I had to choose another set instead. I’m waiting for Anet to repair it, and they will. They changed plenty of armor in the past for graphical issues, it’s just a question of time.

the entire concept of my character was destroyed.
even if i ignore the clipping and stretching that was needlessly put into the skin set, i can’t, no matter how much i try to “look past the changes” still look like Zojja with bright gold shoulder pads and the very different ear flaps.

yes, MMOs suck. they all do.
but settling down, shutting up and looking past issues doesn’t help anything.
a huge part of the endgame here is based on skins after all.

the fact of the matter is that we all could see the skins in previews before be bought them. i knew my male asura would have a different profile in his ear flaps and different fit to his armor than the female version. i bought him a helmet and left out the rest accordingly to my taste. likewise any of the female asura players saw how the skins would look before they committed and made their choices based on those previews.

now, i can look past clipping and stretching personally. they are by definition glitches and they may be fixed someday. i can’t however look past the giant ear flaps and the undyable shoulder pads attached to the chest piece. they are changes to the actual design of the armor and are a bait and switch to anybody who has spent the large sums of gold to acquire them.

im sure you could understand if you imagined your favorite weapon or armor skin being changed on you to the point of no longer being able to enjoy it.

In fact, it seems like to quick-fix the missing shoulders for the female Asura, they gave the MALE ARMOR version to them, helm included. So our poor felow female Asura ended with both the coat glitch and the big male helm.

That’s exactly what happened. Instead of just adding a shoulder piece, they just gave us the male version, knowing that the shoulder piece already existed there but without looking at all the glitches of the male version.

Strange that there are so little complaints about the male version… The female one was fixed a long time ago, actually I can’t remember that it has ever been glitched apart from the missing shoulder piece.

Maybe the male armor is a leftover from the beta phases, never been noticed by the devs…?

I truly hope we can get someone to discuss this with us from Arena. This is T3 and a decent amount of time has been invested by us to get this armor. They reverted things for Foefire, how about some love to those who bought T3?

I don’t have t3 armor, but I agree – those huge ear pads now look ridiculous.

Well spotted!

That’s got to be the answer right there – while usually the male and female asura share skins, I have noticed before the male T3 helmet has bigger ear flaps

tier three looks wicked cant wait to get new thief up there to see it but still any one can post or pm me a pick of arsura thief cullt tier3 would be nice. Thank you

That’s what many others did in the last month’s thread, without success as it seems. In the first post of this thread it is stated, that the same issue shouldn’t be reported repeatedly… So I think I shouldn’t post it again (was enough work with all the screens the first time I did it anyway). But maybe some of you who haven’t already postet in this thread could do so?

Indeed I already made a post for that issue, and so did several other people.
Then the thread got reset and Anet “will have already seen them and added them to our bug database.”

Which doesn’t inspire confidence in me. It seems like the problem is being shelved so they can fix it somewhere in the future (Translated: ‘in years’ or ‘never’)
Not saying this is the case but that’s what I’m afraid of.
