Guild Wars 2

I recently finished the meta achievement for A Crack In The Ice and received the Glacial Gauntlets. Trying to find a good armor combination in my wardrobe, I was disappointed to notice a lot of the chest pieces had sleeves that clipped off the glacial gauntlets to just the wrists, making the gloves very unnoticeable. Now I know that armor clipping is nothing new to this game, but I’m no programmer- is this clipping by design or accidental? Could it (potentially) be changed by Anet or would it be a difficult bug to work around?

In the mean time does anyone have any suggestions for armor chest pieces? I main a human female elementalist but my alts range through classes and races. I’m going to be looking through the gallery myself but I’d love to hear what everyone else uses!

I don’t have a light-armoured human female, but I did try it on my sylvari elementalist and had no clipping issues. It looks like the bulky portion of the gloves are designed to disappear when your chest armour has sleeves (yet another thing I guess Anet has to program for when creating armour).

I don’t have too many light armour sets myself, and I wasn’t able to find any that worked super well in the quick look that I did. I do hope you find something, or perhaps you can match your gloves more to the weapons than the armour.

Best of luck!

Careful what you wish for, last time someone complained about this, they just made the gloves hide with any chest-piece that had sleeves, which, depending on your armor weight, can be pretty much all of them.
