I would prefer some level of clipping.

I would prefer some level of clippping.

Same goes for shield equipped in hand.

seems like clipping won, thank god.

I prefer some clipping.

Please look into this asap, can’t use the new raid backpiece anymore because it looks so ridiculous now with the leg armor

I would prefer floating backpieces

I believe a poll would be much more appropriate for this sort of thing. Many players probably wont even bother logging on to leave a comment.

Absolutely. Barely 100 random players deciding over such a big change seems a bit weird. There should at least be an ingame mail mentioning it and suggesting a visit here.

I would prefer some level of clipping

I would also love if the skull on the back of Medium was flattened or removed…. It’s essentially another back piece ….

Clipping should not be a real issue its a bit annoying but some clipping is ok it can even makes some weird and cool looks. Its just the level of dev. response here that bugs me. Its just clipping there some major problems with gw2 in all places of the game and ppl want to talk about clipping?!

I would prefer if one handed would be closer to the charakter

I would prefer some level of clipping.

I just made the light for my mesmer and I’m super sad about it , I had seen pictures of floating backpacks but i didnt realise that also my EQUIPPED shield would float from my hand…. Its not only the backpacks… the biggest issues are with the weapons , everything looks silly and out of place

Seems like people love floating crystals included with their armor but not floating weapons or backpieces.

I really wish I knew how many players would support floating in an alternate universe/timeline where the original clipping of the precursor armor was not fixed.

In any case I hope Anet will not base any changes on such a small scale player pool such as this thread and stick to original testing which was on point on every aspect.

This looks so stupid. I was prepared for the backpack, but for weapons to float on other side of screen when wielded(when only using the chest piece)? Are the testers blind?

What makes it even more silly is that the male version doesn’t have the stupid horn on the back, yet has all the floating anyway.

I would prefer some level of clipping!!! Floating just doesn’t look right with a lot of the wings and such.

I would prefer to keep things as they are. I hate clipping and am okay with the distance of the floating items.

Is there a reason it has to be a static choice? I think a slider would be the best over all choice, for something like this.

Is there a technical difficulty that would prevent having a slider that allows you to adjust the distance of the back piece from your character model?

I don’t suggest this just for this armor/backpiece, but as a general QoL feature for the game. This, I believe would be the best way to ensure the majority of people are satisfied.

I would prefer some level of clipping.

But what i really want is a dynamic boneslot for these items to be attached to so they can all fit where they are supposed too.

I would prefer some level of clipping.

pls don’t change it. i prefer to have the current back piece set back at a distance . my staff is place nicely in between.. and with light armor, we are spell caster.. backpiece is bound to our back by spell! ok? lol don’t change pls i prefer float than clip

i can tell you once the dev change to clipping.. there will be another post here with more people winging about it being clip.. not everyone read forum here. so.. if we want a better feedback .. perhaps an ingame vote.

After testing the light armor a little bit more , I realised that your 2handed weapons are floating 30cm from your back because if they didnt they would clip on your pants (that happens with my Sunrise on my mesmer, half the blade is in my pants, but some other weapons are barely okay like the staff for example).

As for the backpieces floating that far away… no clue, I dont see any potential clipping with my The Ascension backpiece, but it managed to look super bad when it floats 30 cm away.
Also the skin for the armor shows on the gloves ONLY if you have the chest equipped aswell… makes no sense but okay.

Is it possible to make the effect from the gloves disappear on the hand that wields the shield?It would look extremely bad if spikes were clipping through it , tbh it would be equally bad as with the current version , so its a loss-loss situation…

As for the pants , I would like if they weren’t that “big”. You dont change the attach point because something is going to clip on the pants , you make the pants so that they work with the current attach point…. I would love if the pants were changed a little bit and they wouldnt stick that far out(after all they were changed compared to the experimental armor , the panths there were even “bigger” just tone them down a bit more). But I wouldn’t mind If they clip.

2handed sword in my panths when stowedd —-—- backpieces and stowed 2h weapons floating 30cm away from my character. The decision is easy.

I would prefer some level of clipping.

If anet would give WvW as much attention as they do on clippings for legendary armor we would get somewhere.

Its quite shameful anet rather communicate in clipping stuff than be there in wvw topics as well

And do not forget the discussion about the female armour version for Charr and Asura. This also triggered the president in no time.

I would prefer some level of clipping.

… Aaaand to be able to dye heavy armor a bit more.

legendary armor or not floating back\weapon look so bad, cliping forever ^^

and the hardest part atm is find a cliping back for a char, is so hard, pls fix this

I prefer floating over clipping.

I made the light armor and I dont mind the distance at all. I’m clearly outnumbered here so if you did decide to go for clipping please keep some level of distance.
(I personally hate clipping)

Once anet change to hv clipping.. you see ppl post and complain how ridiculous is clipping of shields back piece weapon to legging etc etc. Atm there’s no clippings floating weapons and back piece to spell caster is fine your character cast a spell weapon floats when stow away

I would prefer some clipping. First of all we already used to it (even with legendary weapons), second of all, a floating backpiece, feels more ‘out of place’ then clipping, third, when you actually use the weapon, there will be no clipping, and then you have the floating backpiece, with that fixed, in combat, would show a ‘perfect’ view of the armor + weapon + backpiece, wich now never will occur. So yes clipping (imo) is best compromise.

I would prefer some clipping. Never really had any problems with some amount of it.

Clipping, thanks.

I prefer clipping

Problem is that the floating looks stupid with shields but seems alright for greatswords for example
so if all of that is just regulated by 1 general fix point then it can only be good for 1 of the 2

I would prefer some clipping.

Mainly because it just looks weird to have a floating shield. Another thing that worries me is the shine on the Heavy set, it doesn’t seem to be very reactive to different dye colors.

I would prefer floating backpieces.

I would prefer some clipping instead of the floating backpieces.

Honestly at this point I am very much in favor of removing the extra floating, because it just looks like a bug.

Nothing more or less. It just doesn’t look like intended behavior. To be fair, neither do a lot of things about Legendary armor (all 3 armor types), and this starts at something as acceptable-ish as the Heavy helmet combat pieces. Even those look like a graphic bug.

And don’t get me started on Asura clipping their toes. On legendary armor. Shame. Shame. Shame.

I would prefer clipping.
The position of the greatsword, staff and so on is fine, only the shields and nackpacks floating so far awa form the body looks wierd.

This floating shield alone makes me not craft legendary light armor.

Please change it to clip as long as it doesn’t float in the air.
