Guild Wars 2

Hey!

So I read about new armor getting into the gem shop and I logged in on my Sylvari and tried it out via preview. Guess what:

The shoulder and gloves are RIDICULOUSLY huge on him. It’s not even fun anymore. I really want those skins but I’m not buying them as long as they are on steroids. ANet, pls, pls fix this.

Nice opinion. Mines different then yours.
I logged in and took a look at them on my character.
I like how they look.
shrug

Unfortunately, this is not an issue of differing opinion and personal taste, it is an issue of an apparent bug that results in improper scaling on male sylvari wearing the medium armor version.

The skins are meant to be identical across all three armor weight types.
Light and heavy are identical across all species, genders and weight types, but the medium version of both the gloves and shoulders on male sylvari are disproportionately larger in scale by at least 100-200%.

Me too, I’m glad not everything I can wear on my light armored Necro is skimpy now. I wanted big manly death grippers not child toy gloves. I say keep em.

TBH the hulk hands are pretty cool.

If they matched my outfit I’d grab them.

If this IS a scaling bug, anet should consider some “big honkin’ glove” pieces to match all the “big honkin’ boots” pieces.

Make ‘em metal/leather with separate dye channels for armor plate, leather backing, and trim (like the SE gloves) and I’ll even kick in an extra 50 gems in gold to get the gloves and five keys as charity.

Yeah I actually agree on the gloves, they do look cool and can stay that size.

But the shoulders? NO. They are waaay to big. Bigger than on a Charr, or kitten even on a Norn. That has to be a bug because they could never be serious with that.

That’s because of body type with muscle shoulders/arms, have the same problem. With some items it looks good (arah light), but some looks just comic-huge.

Yeah, basically they use the norn scaling. I thought they already fixed this bug, though…

Hmm, It appears to be a bug with the second last body type from the left. The muscular one. It causes the shoulders to be of Norn scaling ATLEAST. Hope Anet reads this or just fixes it generally, I really want those skins.

I don’t want my big stuff to change size For once I don’t look/feel like a wuss on my necro.
