Guild Wars 2

As much as I’ve enjoyed the lore, animations and enviroments of the sylvari, (or maybe because I enjoy it so much that this bugs me all the more) I’ve noticed an issue with weapons changing size depending on if they are sheathed or unsheathed.

Created a new warrior to test it out.

I don’t notice this myself, probably cause i haven’t looked for it, but i don’t see why that would be intentional.

For the purposes of aesthetics ? Maybe having 2h weapons reach all the way down the knees all the time would be horrendous, yet having a larger weapon while wielding it looks better. In any case i much prefer it if the size was that of the one on the back all the time. What about yourself?

Thing is that it’s not that much of a difference. Also I did check with my own greatsword and it doesn’t exhibit this behavior, maybe it’s just that one skin?

This does make me curious. Been wondering how many different weapons suffer from this effect.

I’ve had my eyes on the Inquest Sword from the CoE Token vendor, and I got discouraged because of his small it looked in the preview.

Though recently I saw a screencap of it on I think a human [Couldn’t see past the waist, since the sword was the focus] and it was bigger in that screen than the Preview on my Sylvari.

Does anyone know about that weapon in specific?

Hmm…my Glyphic Sword seems ok in that regard. But that’s..certainly strange.
