Guild Wars 2

Clipping. So much clipping. It’s a kitten shame because I LOVE this set. Come on guys, not all of us want to wear a helmet.

To date, not a single one of anets armour sets or outfit sets struck me as a solid effort. Every single one of them looked thrown together, kitten, etc. I’m not saying they were terrible, they just didn’t feel inspired. Of course, this is my opinion, but nothing felt like it had any soul to it. It all felt machined out to sell on the gem store. This set however reminds me of some of the beautiful armour sets you’ll find in some Korean games, and that’s a very positive thing for me. I’m probably in the minority, but I love over the top. I love actual fantasy items. Things that are awe inspiring. Things like giant swords larger than life that are so intricate and make no sense. They look like they can break apart with one swing, but it’s a game, and they’re beautiful, so that’s okay.

The thing with Korean games is the grind. GW2 has some of the most fluid combat, and least amt of grind I’ve experienced compared to asian MMOs, but the items in it just don’t wow me like they do in asian MMO’s. This set wow’d me. I stared at my character for quite a while, admiring it. Please guys, more like this. More beautiful items that show they were actually worked on. At this point, most everything about GW2 is aesthetics. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Just make things like this, and people like me will go broke from throwing money at you.

However… it’s an outfit. What a shame. Anet, please take heed: If you guys kept whoever it was that designed this outfit, and gave them just a little more time to work on all 3 weights for armour sets, (I imagine this is why it’s an outfit, so you didn’t have to make light and medium sets, etc) then I would have spent 800 gems on ALL 3, because I’m positive they would have been great. Whatever team designed this set, commend them. If it’s the same team, tell them they’re on the right track and that whatever inspired them should keep inspiring them.

Looking forward to more like this.

Generally, I think people overact about those small clipping issues. GW is really the only community so sensitive toward clipping. You can find this in almost every game because it is very hard to fix. Anyway, I don’t even see clipping as a problem, I just ignore it and think it’s a part of games since the first games with polygons appeared.

Also the stuff like the ‘new human female walking animation’ – I watched a video and haven’t even noticed a differfence, even after watching it several times and reading a description.

Really, just stop with all the complaining and enjoy the awesome armor skins we receive from Anet.

I freaked out when I saw that set on Dulfy,I was so happy until I realized it was a outfit…Now THAT is a letdown.

I hate outfits because there is no variety if you see someone using it too,people always use the same dyes too (Abyss,Celestial…) and the worst part about that outfit: Helmet. I hate helmets,I didn’t created a character with a cool hair to hide it under a helmet.

Also,I think ArenaNet should start selling gem armors by parts instead of only a full set.

I would gladly pay 250 gems for a Phalanx Boots for example,but I’ll not pay 800 gems for a full Phalanx set if I don’t care about the gloves,shoulders,etc…

If Gem Store is the only way they are adding new things into the game,at least make it better… ;_;

I made a post on the Game Bugs Forum and I really don’t think it is a “small clipping issue” as you can see on my screenshots. And this issue is very easy to fix, they could remove the neck ornament or even make it part of the helmet so when you turn the helmet off it disappears too.

This is easy to fix?

Remove the neck ornament: it’s already been sold to who knows how many people. Many of them either like the collar or are not bothered by it. Remove the collar and annoy all those people? Not likely to happen.

Make the collar part of the helmet: this would require a complete redesign of the costume. Or a complete redesign of the toggle to add the collar to the toggle. Either way, this is not an easy fix. Complete redesigns are never an easy fix.

It’s very easy to say to just ignore this, because really? This is something they might want to have considered when initially designing this outfit. And given the large number of hairstyles this happens with, it makes it look like little to no thought about this as a potential problem was given in the design phase. Now something I bought to be used on 4-5 low-level characters can now only be used on… 2 of my level 80s. Because they’re the only ones who have hairstyles that don’t clip with this.

Not everybody has long hair and the reason why they probably made a helm was because people really are that annoyed as they claim to be they can either get shorter hair, wear the helm or not buy the outfit.

Clipping isn’t going to go away, you might as well find outfits that minimize it.

Complaining? Is that a joke? It’s almost like you read the first few lines of my post, and ignored the couple paragraphs praising the new outfit. And where, anywhere, did I mention anything regarding female walking animations. Perhaps instead of urging others not to “complain”, you should not be so overly defensive.

And sorry, but the clipping is in fact an issue. Most female human characters I’ve seen have longer hair. The collar looks absolutely ridiculous with it. You say it’s not easy to “fix”, but that’s just it. It should have been thought of during design. Weapon clipping is understandable. But the hair among other things is extremely blatant and should have been addressed during design, as I said, because unlike weapons, creating an armour set that doesn’t clip with already existing character models should have been looked at, as that’s part of the job. It’s absolutely not difficult to have made that collar design work with pretty much every longer hairstyle simply by not poofing out the back side. Many variations could have been done. Easily. I believe it was just overlooked. Furthermore, if nobody “complained”, as you put it, then anet wouldn’t be aware that everyone finds it to be an issue. Do you think a company bases it’s design decisions based of 2 or 3 posts? Of course not. More people discussing it means more weight. More people talking about it means anet artists design items with this in mind BEFORE they get released.
