The medium ones I mean, on a male sylvari as opposed to on a male human?

At least it’s such in the preview screen.

It’s a minor issue, but it’s really bugging me because if they were normal sized they’d look great on my main. Why are they so darn huge? Is it just in the preview screen? I don’t feel like spending a bunch of tokens just to find this out.

Anybody with a male sylvari have these shoulders? Are they actually that freaking gigantic? I appreciate any help figuring this out.

It’s especially weird because the “guild shoulders” in pvp look normal. Why is it just the Caudecus’ Manor ones that are messed up?

The shoulder armor on Sylvari needs to be pushed out to reflect the fact that some Sylvari models have naturally large shoulders that jut out a lot more than the shoulders of the other races.

That doesn’t explain why a lot of other shoulders have normal models, or why the pvp guild shoulders look normal.

Sylvari, as well as any race that isn’t Human, has a lot of armors that look as if they were designed for humans and then stretched over the non-human race. Sylvari have this in the shoulder/waist area, Norn have it in the legs/feet area, and Asura/Charr have it all around. You’re better off going with a cultural armor, as its the only armor that properly fits and a change to existing armors is unlikely.

Check out these shoulders~

Lotta armor simply isn’t scaled down or positioned correctly for Sylvari.
These ones though are floating pretty high. ;/ Excuse me for not wearing pants btw.

That’s just nuts. O_o

/sigh… the fact that this issue is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon is a little frustrating, I’m not gonna lie. I realize gameplay issues take precedence, but the developers themselves said that most of the point of getting cool gear was for the looks, so I just don’t see how they could’ve allowed this in the first place.
