Guild Wars 2

Since launch, Greatswords of all kinds have been clipping on approximately 80% of Asura armor.

Would it be possible to increase the distance from the character just slightly, and to reposition the way the greatsword is head on the back, so that it doesn’t clip?

Thanks!

Serves you right for not rolling a human female masterrace

Only kidding, but it does seem like a simple change to the size of a weapon to depend on a certain percentage of a character’s height would do it.

I thought female Norn was the master race.

It’s the proximity and angle of the Greatsword.

For the love of Alchemy, PLEASE fix it, ANET!

The tip also passes below the bottom of their feet so it clips into the ground as well.

It’s kind of silly. They should be in the same position as hammer.

Sorry, ArenaNet won’t do it.

They said, a long time ago, that they will not fix the many issues with Asura and Charr clipping because few players play as those.

So unless you want to be stuck with subpar races, I suggest deleting your Asura and making one of the more human-like ones.

Who could have guessed that ArenaNet would be guilty of racism in their own game?

And yet, they fixed Charr footprints.

Also, as opposed to Charr tail-clipping, where the issue requires redesigns of each individual armor, this is more of a universal problem how the item is positioned on Asura, regardless of model.

If you think that’s bad, try having an Asura with a ’fro… still I regret nothing

Main reason I left my 80 Asura warrior and rerolled a Charr warrior…

I think the problem is that an Asura’s Greatsword is actually a Norn dagger.

If you dropped your Asura because of clipping issues, you’re gonna have bad time with Charr….

Have not had any problems so far. Sure some stuff clips but the greatsword in my kitten with my asura was unplayable for me :P

Another issue: Asuran Mesmers use the “wrong” Greatsword AA animation. Or rather theirs not only doesn’t look as flashy, it also seriously hurts my wrist every time I see it. Ouch.

If they’re going to fix anything about Asura and greatswords it’s how small they are! I want my Asura to wield a comically big greatsword!

WHAT?!?

Asura Mesmer GS animations are THE BEST animations in the game.

Asura Ranger GS animations come in second place.

Really? I mean I don’t mind holding the sword instead of floating it like Norn / Potted Plants / Bookahs do, but the angle up the upper wrist makes me cringe in sympathetic pain.

While u at it fix asura feet cliping!

I’m just glad they finally fixed the issues I was seeing where my asuran’s neck would randomly disappear for no reason at all.

But yes, agreed. Even the black wings clip the ground on my asura!

After 2 years….after 2 years they fixed it…and we had clipping issues with main hand swords for another year(And just about every single main hand weapon).. or should i say, our paws werent holding onto the sword at all in some cases…
And oh god the clipping issues, not just tail clipping, but in general. We have armor that clips through our chest, head, shoulders, arms, legs. Our backpieces float or clip, Our weapons will stowed will clip through our bodys and armor…just like yours.. (Still needs to get fixed, just saying charr have a ton of issues!)

Heh, ok I see your point there – it does look a little strained.

But overall it is much better than the prissy floating nonsense the bookahs use. Nevermind our superior “BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL” iZerker animation, our Mind Stab which looks like it would create in impact crater and our iWave which looks like it should knock enemies into another zone, and our Mirror Blade which just looks better.
