I was watching some of the footage I took during the GW2 beta, and something seemed…off, compared to the games release. In comparing the beta footage to current times, I noticed that my human female thief’s hair was a lot more…well, free flowing, during the beta, than now. And honestly, now that I’ve noticed it, I can’t stop noticing now that that very same hairstyle seems glued to the back of her neck, instead of moving so animatedly like it did in the Beta.

I’ve played around with the graphics settings, changed around stuff in the NVidia control panel (well, crap that didn’t blow up my computer, but that’s another forum post.) but I can’t for the life of me find anything on my end that got rid of that awesome free flowin’ locks of justice. So I turn to you, forum. Has anyone else experienced this? Did I miss a patch note that stated “Applied glue to female human heads”? Am I just being a moron and am missing some key “unglue the hair” setting?

If anyone needs reference videos, I’ll be more than happy to post them, but for now, I’ll leave this as is.

tl;dr: what happened to make human hair stick instead of being free flowing like it was in the beta?

Any haircut specifically? Didn’t play beta and can’t really compare but my ele has long hair and its not glued to her neck when she is running.

From this gallery, it is the hairstyle one down from the top left corner. One of the smoother hairstyles.
