Guild Wars 2

Hm….how to see that? Have no idea what you mean :X

Arah Mid is really great, a screen to prove it fits snuggly on Charr:

Arah Mid is a clear example of a good job for Charr armor, that tail looks great. It’s a pity that is not very common.

Left is my Necro (ye still running around in that…) and right is my Warrior. WHY SO MANY PANTS LOOK LIKE AT LEAST HALF SKIRTS? (And why my warriors tail seems good in that?!)

Speak of Krytan armour…. Its wiered that the coat is clipping while the pants underneith arn’t (note the little bone detail hanging nicely out and over the tail)…. Why don’t fix both?

And I just noticed… ther is some clipping with the gloves in the Krytan armour as well… Havn’t seen it until now as it is on the lower side of the arm…

And – it’s already said but I’ll say it again. Awsome looking Braham Armour that I have been waiting for to my charr, but – #&%¤*##%& tail clipping looks horribe … Plz – fix it that way u have with some dungeon armours Like Arah or Twilight…

I was able to find armor for my necro w/o a crazy skirt that will tail clip…but this armor is nothing special. I’m annoyed any specialty armor (such as arah or even cultural) armor has tail clipping and mane-shaving. I LOVED the headpiece for t3 cultural light armor, but it took off her mane..so I settled for this..

Yea its a shame that Arah and light cultural have clipping issues. If they dont want to spend time fixing all cliping tails and horns they should fix cultural light and all the arah set.
Look at that Braham heavy armor- sometimes tail clip twice as shown in the screen above.

It is something i made for thief thinking about future..

Behing little floating on right side of shoulders and no holes for horns i dindt noticed any clipping issues. Neck is fully covered

At least it’s not CM. That place makes me glad for once that most skins there I’d never consider using.

Does no-one notice that Arah medium clips through Charr legs? Looks just as terrible as everything else to me

i been wearing the cof armor since december. I have gave up on trying to find armor for charr. There isnt a single set or mix for charr that dosent clip something or looks stretched. There just isnt a point anymore. I wish they had given us the beastly looking armors from the concept art. Not to mention that the charr teeth clip within the mouth… The starting armor for thieves lol… The hoodie got clippin fo days yo.

When I first previewed the Radiant Helmet I thought it was a glitch.
I couldn’t believe that the helmet could look so ridiculously bad.
Every feature of the Charr is removed and we’re left with a shrunken raisin head.
I can understand that a company chooses not to create every single armor piece with a flap for the tail, but I cannot even describe how ridiculous the Radiant Helmet is.
I was going to start a thread myself, but a google search led me here. Imagine newer players wanting to preview the helmet. Oh god.

I so wanted to get a set of Magitech armour for my Iron Legion engineer but I just cannot live with the dreadful tail-clipping. I can understand that creating multiple sets of each armour style would be a nightmare but I cannot see why all body/leg armour can’t be designed to incorporate a tail and its animations. Head armour is something else entirely as the only races that works on consistently are humans and norn, everyone else gets clipping or a removal of features altogether … honestly I think the only way around that is to create different helm designs for each race. As for pauldrons (shoulder armour) surely they can adjust the stretching such that the armour doesn’t appear to float in mid-air.

TL;DR: ArenaNet could sell more gems (for armour sets or transmutation crystals) if only they’d add a tail slit or flap to their designs as standard.

Another patch…I have to ask, but no hopes…anyone noticed something fixed for Charr armor?

Honestly, i just w8 for race change contract… lost all hopes for Charr armor… especially medium (engineer), can not be worse than that ;( so sad

First off, you spent a lot of time writing that post.
Second, I totally agree with you I always hide the helmet because they are fugly. I also don’t really understand why medium armour is trash… seriously why am I wearing a skit all the time O_o

Overall, I can’t really complain, the Charr facial would be a animator nightmare to compensate for all the horn/facial setups. I love my Charr, but i’ll got helmetless to make him look more kitten.

1) Only the helmets that hide the horns are fugly. The others are just… meh. That isn’t a good thing, because I want my armor to pop. One of the heavy helmets looks like a baseball cap from the head-on view. WTF?
2) Medium wearers are stealth and/or skirmishers. Skirts, cloaks, long coats, and dusters all obscure the legs, waist, and lower body, making reading body language more difficult. In-game mechanics-wise, this isn’t a factor, but, aesthetically, this is why light warriors (traditionally medium armor in RPGs) wear such garb. There’s more places to hide stuff, too.

Personally, I don’t have a problem with the armors, except for the godawful tail problems. Heavy armor has a better solution to the tail hole than medium and light, though it’s not optimal.

I guess when I think of medium armor, I think of chain mail, some plate and thick leather (boiled, etc..) type gear. I guess I didn’t think that light armour is basically “cloth” armour which really isn’t armour lol.

I want my armour to pop as well, but Charr’s skull is not a helmet friendly gear to animate. I think most of the heavy armour that does work around the charr’s frame are pretty amazing though. If I find one that I like I will wear it, otherwise I will just make my face pretty for everyone to see haha

You know something I’d like to know? What armor is “the Blacksmith” wearing when you meet him at Howl’s grave? I’d love to find it, but it doesn’t seem to show in Argos Soft database of armors. Maybe I’m mis-remebering it.

May I remind you…

Drakkon, there are quite a few outfits (both armor and town clothing) worn by certain NPCs that are sadly not available to us.

It’s pretty safe to say at this point:

Anet does not give two $H|T$ about how armor looks on Charr. They’re to kittening lazy to put in the necessary effort to make armor look even remotely acceptable on Charr.

It’s so, so sad.

pout

Say it isn’t so. I saw another NPC with it the other day while I was making my rounds of the hot air balloons. The Charr bringing his cows to Meatoberfest has the same outfit.

The problem with a charr and common armor is that common armor is human armor. And charr in common armors looks like human, but not like charr.

I don’t get it. Why did Arena create more playable races than just humanity, if they don’t have time to make for each race, their own armor?

Quantity, but not quality I guess.

I would definitely like to see more Charr armor in the game that is actually related to the lore of the Charr. I feel like Anet needs to just expand it’s general armor styles across all levels rather than create new level 80 armor and skins. It would be awesome if they could just take each race and work on creating stuff like the acolyte armor (that you seem to ALWAYS be able to get and use no matter what your level is) only for each race SPECIFICALLY. I would be happy to just have a lore/culture armor patch for all the races (that of course would include clipping fixes) over a new story patch. Heck I would be happy if they just gave us what the NPCs wear!

So there is a thread on the General Forums about this topic and I think there is a nice oportunity to participate there and let more people hear about the issues on Charr armor: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Did-the-Charr-armor-protest/first#post2611236

I never post in forums, but this issue is bugging me…. and I figure if I throw in my complaint maybe it’ll tip the boiling point enough for Anet to fix it.

My awesome Charr only looks so awesome to a point because her back pieces and shoulders “float”. It took a little of the excitement away from getting my first legendary because it’s floating entirely off the back of my character. The same issue with her pretty rose and most of the shoulders I preview on her.

Please fix this Anet….I know you have a ton on your plate, but I want to look as cool as the cool kids.

This needs fixing!

Also the charr heavy tier 1 cultural chest clips back mounted weapons. This is our KITTEN cultural armor yet it clips our weapons!

for the love of god….

Please dedicate 1 or 2 people to specifically fixing the problems with charr armor and use those same people to customize each future set of armor to fit the charr

I don’t understand why it would be difficult to dedicate a guy to making sure charr don’t just get stretched armor.
A Female human and a male human can wear the same set of armor and look different because the armor is made to look different depending on what gender the player chooses….why doesn’t the same thing apply to charr?????? I’m seriously baffled by this

I’m tired of wearing t3 heavy….every other charr in the game is wearing the same thing because there aren’t any other options.

lol the mac client is still in beta with extremely annoying issues a year and some change after i purchased the game,
The mac forums are all but abandoned by the devs and on the extremely rare chance that they do visit the repeat the same exact things they’ve been saying for over a year.
And the race i choose as a main gets about as much attention as the mac forums do.

i swear i drew the short end of the stick with this game lol…

I wish this would get more attention. Got 4 sets on my guardian and I can’t afford to transmute all of them to T3. Not to mention how boring that would be to have all sets the same because its the only look that is decent. Same goes for my engineer. He’s in full karma gear and there are tail clipping issues, but again its one of the few medium sets that look decent on charr.

Sadly the only hope we have is the expansion and god knows how long til thats here. /sigh

Do these developers read the forums in depth? Starting to feel like they really don’t give two kittens.

Thread Necroooooooo.

And yes they do read and they’ve already stated they won’t be visiting charr/asura armor clipping and general design issues anytime soon.

This is an issue that I hold very high in my list of gripes. I love making my toons look as cool as possible and my Charr warrior is my main. I have spent lots of gold on dyes and skins to get him looking as cool as possible but one thing is missing a helm…

The biggest issue is that everyone is wearing T3 cultural simply because its the best looking heavy armor. Its clear someone really worked hard to make it look nice and it shows. I would also like to give my congratulations to who ever designed the Gas Mask from the recent Toxic Tower story. It was designed well for all races and looked great. But I digress, there needs to be more choice and all armors should look equally as nice.

The dungeon skins look so awful in some cases that it begs the question how did this get passed quality control? Anet seem to take alot of pride in their game and the feel of the world so why release armors that don’t marry up with that policy?

Ascended armor is another great example. The helm looks super nice on all races except for Charr who have a crown? http://gw2.gameguyz.com/sites/default/files/images/20132211095329.jpg. For goodness sake, if stretching the skin doesn’t look right then make something more racially viable. I bet that there are loads of player out there that would do it for Anet for free just because they are invested in seeing their characters look cool.

Ban me, remove me, I don’t care. Raising from the dead, for justice.

Honestly, enough, a lot of charr armours are bad, spamming 1800 threads about them isn’t going to make Anet fix them or they’d have done so a year ago. Just look around, preview sets, mix and match. I’ve got 5 different charr characters and I’ve managed to put together different armour for all of them that fits and does not assault their tails. You don’t have to wait for a full set perfectly tailored for charr, just mix and match, be creative and make your own look.
