Guild Wars 2

Why did Anet decide to change the scale of the heavy kodan shoulders? What was their design philosophy behind it? Now they are huge and clip into their own set, where as before they rested just fine and were one of the best looking shoulders in the game. Were they too good looking or something?

An answer would be great. Even if its just a " Because"…

Before and after

Are you sure it isn’t the chest piece that changes them?

Body type does. If you’re skinny/ normal it looks like #1, bulky broad body times make them into #2.

This is one of the latest update bugs. I’ve seen it mentioned several other places. I can only assume it’s unintentional and will be fixed. Hopefully soon. WAY too many shoulder armors in this game are WAY too huge. But the extra weight of being huge is not an issue, since they mostly float in midair too.

Both are the same body type. Here is a better pic i hope. They changed the size of the shoulders. I wish i had some better before pics

idk mine still look ridiculous?

Having the same issues…clips whenever I do an idle animation or I’m just standing. Kinda sucks, this is one of the few heavy sets that look good on guard. Hopefully this change is unintentional. And even if it was intentional hopefully they realize it’s a mistake and change it back

Yeah, there was another post. It got moved to the Bugs forum. We’ll assume that it was a mistake. Hope it gets fixed in a reasonable time as my Guardian seems a little slim without his shoulder protection.

Humans get to have the same ridiculously over-sized shoulders as the rest of the races.
Equality for all!

Do you get a free bolt gun with those shoulders?

I prefer hammers and chainsaws

Yeah, it looks like they accidentally swapped the meshes from another race/body type with the correct ones. Shouldn’t be a hard thing to fix, let’s hope Anet gets to it quickly!
