Guild Wars 2

I’d like to see an improvement of Norn Armor textures. They are rly, rly blurry.
I get that it’s because of the size but it is kinda disturbing,
Here’s an example from a cutscene.
My Ranger and my Necromancer:

As far as I can tell ANet designed the armours (a fair number at least) for a human and the stretches it to fit Charr, Norn and Asura (well in that case squishes instead of stretches). So yeah things like this is inevitable.
That and the game is coming on 3 years now.

Welcome to the world of charr… forgotten norn brother. We feel your pain… and we regret to inform you that you are not a human and especially not a human female so take a seat on the sidelines and hope a-net throws you some leftovers. There is only 2 races a-net cares about. Sylvari and humans.

But in all seriosness… a-net tends to cater to humans mostly with their armors, anything else gets less quality cause it just gets stretched loveless over the body to sorta look alright and then shipped. Sorry man

Meh, then again Norm males are far from being naturally bulky. They look like they had too much… substance. If you roll a female Norn they still have acceptable textures. It’s just an issue with male Norns as they are so… defomed. And Charrs sadly suffer from being non-humanoid modelwise :/ There are still aromorchoices which look good btw. My Char is wearing a mix between Phalanx and t3 with random parts. The textures are not blurred or clipped very much (on the sub 5% realm to me).

Normally, yes, but the armor on the left is a Norn racial armor and the mesh is unique to male Norn. If it has blurry or stretched textures, it’s because they did a bad job from the get go.

There’s actually a lot of examples of this where female armor will have much crisper, more detailed textures than the male counterpart despite not having many more polys either way.

This isn’t nearly as prevalent now so I suspect it’s a result of the rushed release of the game.

It is true that the left Armor is the Racial T3. Which tells us that it’s rly not another armor “stretched out” !

I dont know how they do it. But why dont they just “Remake it from the scratch” when they put it on another race. So that we won’t need to have blurry gear.

Also someone mentioned playing female. I used to play all female. I dont have a single one anymore cuz their running animation is so wierd. The green norn on the left used to be female.
