Guild Wars 2

Anyone know why Staves and Backpieces floating on Charrs back? Well even greatsword is clipped to armor only in one point, but still, it doesnt lokk like it is about to fall or flying next to my char. And I am not sure if it is mean to be like it, or if it is only on my charr, or simply failure on my side, or is it just weird animation.. It is shame cuz of that new backpiece from Bazaar or those wings.

You’re too skinny, be fatter.

I noticed it too – i always choose the slimmest female charr body type. Right now i have a charr thief, and the shortbow just floats above its back. When i use two daggers, they also float a few inches away from the character’s hips. It’s kind of annoying, i don’t like the other body types as much so i wouldn’t want to change beacuse of bad positioning of equipment…

That’s why you should make big beefy charr.

But i don’t want to :P Being fat or big and brawny isn’t so good for a thief anyway, they need to be quick, agile and slim!
And if we have some options, all of them should be made viable and not bugged. Having a bugged option is kinda like not having that option. (okay in this case it’s exaggerating a bit)

Cats can be pretty big and still be very sneaky and agile. The average Siberian Tiger is almost 500 pounds, and they a very, very sneaky and agile.

But yes my comment was somewhat in jest. It really is annoying that a more traditional “slim and agile” looking Thief (or any class really) would have all their weapons floating around them when they are supposed to be stowed away.

I know (about the siberian tiger), but that’s my idea of a charr assassin

Agreed!

It’s getting old that we can’t pick whatever body we want without having to consider floating weapons/backpacks. Sylvari has even more problems, at least the males with their balloon rump on coat armors. This game is so much about aesthetics, with all the customization, coloring, etc., so why does this “bug” even exist still?

Please make it a priority to correct body frames ASAP. I think most would rather have sheathed stuff too close than too far away from the body. And it’s one of those little things that would “please” a lot of players just like AoE looting did.

This isn’t really a Charr-specific problem, but it does seem to effect Charr more than other races. Charr seem to have the widest range of body sizes, and since the equipment is all placed with regards to the largest / fatest body, anything smaller than that creates a LOT of floaty weapons and backpieces. I know on my Ranger who I made quite slim and small for a Charr, his quiver and bows float a good 5 inches off his back, looks really awful.

They really need to adjust equipment based on body type for EVERY race. I don’t really see how hard it could possibly be to move the “node” used to attach equipment further in for smaller body types, unless their system just plain doesn’t support it.

noticed this on my engineer, my normal hobopack sits fine against my back, switch to elixir gun the back not only floats about a heads width from my toons back but it is also right above her head, I’ll include pics at some point coz it looks kittenedly daft.

How I make myself feel better: Just tell yourself it is floating because of Asuran technology.

Asuran Cloaking Sheathe, Charr-sized.

You’re welcome.
