i prefer the floating. [Thing is, could the placement point for at least the backpieces be closer to the chest? And maybe that of 1 handed weapon like shields be a bit higher an closer? While 2 hander (L/S bows, hammers, gs, staves is placed in a diff angle to not hit with the buttcape? or just be further placed from the chest piece].

I prefer floating

Also please dont change the point where the weapons are attached to, since this is perfect atm. I especially love the new angle of the greatsword at asura light armor. Looks so much better then the old, steeper angle where the greatsword often used to clip into the ground.

I would prefer some level of clipping

Currently the back piece and shield are just way too far away from the character back.
I think there is definitely room for them be be moved closer w/o too much clipping.

To be honest, I am not too much of a fan of the big monster skull at back design either. This is bringing in more trouble than good. Not sure if it is still possibility at the moment to reduce the size of that skull.

Clipping can be frustrating at times, but having backpieces float away so that no skin looks right is worse. I would much rather spend the time finding a skin that doesn’t clip.

As an alternative suggestion, I propose just removing the hideous skull from the back of legendary light armor and having the same backpiece hover distance as any other armor.

I’m not sure why this is even a thing, considering how much dev time went into legendary armor.

NO TO BOTH fix the core problem. Making us choose 1 less wrong out of 2 bad decisions won’t make us happy. Make a dynamic point. Make MORE ajustable things. Legendary armor highlighted the huge engine or core development problem which needs to get fixed for the game to move forward.

Next, I rly dont want to punch myself in a face with shoulder all the time, but thats kinda the facepalm i get when i see how much clipping passed testing… asura toes, human back when running etc etc… Please finish the half finished product. btw human female legs clip with human female legs when whielding 1-handed weps, how did that passed testing is beyond me.

I would vote for implementing a slider for this in the settings. This way it would be customizable. So basically the slider would alter where the attach point is.
The slider should be character based as different characters might need different slider settings.

I dont think that choosing between clipping and floating would be the right way to address this issue.

I was positively surprised when I saw that my shield and backpiece doesn’t clip and I’d preffer it stays that way.

I would prefer clipping.

Can the angle of the anchor point be angled slightly to avoid clipping as much as possible though? Like you did for the one-handed weapons Also, please fix the boob enlargement on sylvari!

Lastly, I would like to point out how profoundly disappointed I am that such a lesser of two evils choice has to be made at all after an year and a half of development. This is not the level of quality I expect from you guys.

What would you prefer to see – floating back-pieces or some level of clipping with the armor?

Floating backpiece. No clipping for me, thank you very much. The theme of the light armor is magical, so a floating backpiece kind of fits thematically. Clipping just breaks immersion, period.

I’d much prefer clipping. It’s a natural part of the game, nothing can be done about it. I have no idea why devs spend so much time and effort trying to prevent it, there’s just no way to avoid it. Meanwhile, the hovering effect makes it look terrible, stupid and way more immersion-killing than any form of clipping ever would.

I would prefer some level of clipping if you would get rid of the horn on the back, it clips with most hairstyles aswell. I think the clipping would be minimalistic without the horn.

Chest & Backpack: I would prefer some level of clipping.

Most back pieces are rather “disabled” than anything else right now. A floating backpack is no option for many players, yet a clipping one at least gives you the choice to make if it’s ok or not for your outfit.


Gloves & Shields: I would prefer some level of clipping.

Will this also be adressed to the issue with shields and the gloves? Because it looks so extremly stupid to have a hovering shield 1/4th “asura length” next to you instead of actually wearing it… :|

The utmost perfect fix would be that one glove (left) would not expand if you wear a shield. But I believe this is too much asked. Regardless, I’d rather have some clipping issues here too, rather than a floaty…


Thanks for the communication, when will you let us know the final decision?

But I agree with some others that the best fix for me would be to remove the horn.

I can see how the float might look awkward with some backpieces, but it looks gorgeous with others – in particular, the Crystalline Dragon Wings. I don’t want my armor to start looking less good and also clip with more things.

But to be quite honest, I would just remove the horn from the back of light armor – problem solved.

+1 for light armor issues

Can’t say I notice the clipping on some of my backpieces because they are floaty in nature, but it was super obvious to see the floating issue on things like shields. The horn on the back just makes things really awkward not only with back stowed equipment, but also does horrors for certain hairstyles. Silly, I know, but that’s just my two copper on the whole thing.

I would prefer clipping ONLY on Light Armor. The Heavy Armor looks fine as is.

I see this as an armor specific issue, not a global problem for all of the sets.

I can’t speak for the medium armor as I have not made it or seen it much in game yet. The light armor definitely needs a closer attach point though.

The heavy looks perfect for me and I don’t see any floating issues with it; It looks attached. A closer attach point on heavy could cause issues and it wouldn’t be fixing any sort of issue with that set.

I would prefer some level of clipping.

Considering some back pieces are wings, if those float it looks really weird. Yes some other back pieces floating would be ok. but i get the impression that there isn’t an option to evaluate this per back piece skin. But for skins that should look like they’re part of the body, like the wings, or the vinegrowth. Those should not loat ever! they are skins that you either bought with money (wings) or put a lot of time and effort in making (vinegrowth) and they should look like they are awsome. Same goes for backpack like skins. Most of those are again gem shop skins. Having them float would defeat the purpoce of buying a backpack like skin in the first place.

I would prefer some level of clipping. (on the Backpieces, NOT IN ASURAN TOES)

I choose this only because you aren’t offering us a better alternative. IMO, at minimum, the distance between backpieces and character model should be adjusted in a case to case basis. Some backpieces look good floating, some don’t make sense. This should be the minimum.
