Guild Wars 2

While messing around in the character creator today I noticed something peculiar; the charr horn options that were previously uneditable (for female charr at least) could now suddenly be shaped and customized like the other options, along with their ear pairings. I’m not sure if it is a bug brought on by this recent patch or if this was a conscious change, but either way I welcome it. For demonstration of what I’m talking about, I’ve taken before and after shots of re-customization of my charr I made today.

The Rox horns used to not scale at all, guess they fixed that.
Ears were always shapable/scalable if I recall.

Horray! I just logged in to my charr. I stared at her and thought to myself “Did her horns…. just get… Bigger?” “No, that’s impossible!”. I checked my old screenshots and HOLY FRICK, her horns got bigger. I used my hair kit to check, and yep, they’re scaleable. Since I had my horns on max, the edit made the scale go up for her.

Yep! It happened to my character too, just with something different. It may be hard to see, but my character’s ears on the upper screencap are thinner than the bottom one. I had them set to about half way for some reason when I made her, so it changed it whenever this update occurred; never noticed until I reset it to middle when re-customizing though.

Yep, my ears seem a bit smaller too

I’m guessing you guys are just talking about the Rox horns and female ears?

Possibly, as those are the only ones I have checked. However, I know that there is a horn/ear set for males that was also static. It may have changed too, but I would not know.

Edit: I checked, the male horn/ears are scalable too.

The male hornset has been scale-able for months. I think the last time I checked was about 2 months back for a charr art project, and they were scale-able at that time.
Since the forward-facing female horns were added not long after molten alliance, it makes sense that a-net might not have worked out all the kinks. At any rate, I’m glad they have.
