Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure how this happened, but the Heavy Plate shoulders look idiotic on human males, they sit perfectly fine on Norns, but for some reason they pop up higher than your ears on a human:

I really like those shoulders, but can’t get past this.. they just look plain dumb the way they were adjusted for Humans.

Even the ones on the female human are properly proportionate:

and the Sylvari, and the Charr, and the Asura – they’re all fine. The top of the shoulders is in line with their jaw

I had this problem, too, I realised it’s only a problem on the heaviest human male body type, all the others work fine with it. It appears to be something wrong with the way shoulder items scale on such big shoulders. I remember posting something about it AGES ago but I think it got largely ignored.
I ended up using a total makeover kit and changed body types since I felt the heaviest one was a little too bald and a little too fat but it “fixed” the problem with those heavy shoulders. Granted, it wasn’t really a fix, it just avoided the player model that caused the problem.

Thanks for the note Silver.

ANET, that makes it even more apparent that it needs a fix. if it’s only one model, then it’s a mistake on your part. Please fix it, I don’t want to have to change my character model because of this.
