Guild Wars 2

A display problem I found. When my hair is behind the horns, I can’t see the flames. They only show when I position the camera such that the environment or other characters are behind them. Since most of the time, I and others will be looking down on my asura (with hair behind them), this makes it difficult to see the flames.

It’s perfectly fine on all other races, why should they have any issues?
The only issue here is Anet hating on Asura.

The small guy is always picked on.

They better watch out!

Haha. Small and dangerwousss

We pay the same amount as people who have bigger characters.. With less to show for it. As soon as I put it on I was immediately disappointed. I mean the size scaling for Asura has always been terrible, (I’m still annoyed about the tiny effects of my Immobulus) but this is scaled down even more than usual. Our heads are pretty big for our bodies, and the halo doesn’t fit to our head size. Plus it’s off center (too far forward).

I mean in my screenshot you can barely even see it! :(

If it weren’t for the topic of this thread, I wouldn’t have even known to look for the halo. Wow…..just awful.

No response or change yet, huh? This was getting too low on the page.

Seeing it changed would be nice.

I’m actually not that bothered by the size of it (though I wouldn’t complain if it were bigger). I’m more annoyed by the fact that it’s arbitrarily locked out of dungeons and fractals, which is where I spend a fair percentage of my time. If it gives literally no combat benefit, why is it disabled in any form of PvE content?

Can’t we just a yes or a no if they’re going to fix it?

Actually, I beg to differ. The halo for example does have visual issues that apply to all races as keenly demonstrated in an ongoing thread..

Still no red post from the dev’s …
I’m loosing my hope

Maybe they will fix it at next living story patch.

What annoys me the most (besides the size, too transparent) is it only stays equipped for 60 minutes. If you waypoint or take too much damage, it is gone and have to equip again and again.

I have experienced it disappearing way before 60 minutes and having to click back on it.. it’s weird.
Still really bothered by the lack of attention this is getting from devs while they reply to meaningless stuff elsewhere =/ I like that you guys interact with the community but sometimes it’s infuriating to see you do that while completely ignoring issues.

Would still like to hear something on this. I know Anet are busy folks working hard, but there is a lot of uncertainty here as to whether or not we can expect a fix : /

All I want to hear is a “yes, we’re looking at an always on option” or “It will not have an always on option”. ..“we are looking at it’s graphics/we are not”.

But I suppose if they told us they aren’t looking at it. Less people would buy it while hoping it’ll get fixed.

I agree. It’s not like there was some way we could preview it in game being a potion instead of a wearable item.

Saint.5647:

What is this!? A potion for ants? It needs to be….at least 25 % bigger than this.

I just got to say LOL!

Nevermind the size… let’s discuss how it needs to NOT GO THROUGH MY HEAD. See attached. My helmet and/or hair both have a strange sideways earring coming out of them..

Still waiting on a response about this.

just got this, very disappointed, only commenting to show my support for this fix

Please Arena Net, make the halo larger and more noticeable for asura!

Really hoping it will be a ninja fix in today’s patch

Anyone can tell me if this was fixed today?

Yea, its too bad that so many “cosmetic” items are either not usable at all or somewhat difficult to use (like this) outside of towns. I don’t stand around in town so I could care less about something that is only or mostly used in-town. I don’t understand why they couldn’t do like LotRO which has a Costume system which is visible in the entire game. The costume is visible but your armor and gear still give you stat bonuses. If GW2 had something like that I’d be interested in cosmetic items. As it is I didn’t even consider getting either the horns or halo.

Still no Dev answer on this? GG

Just me or, would demonic wings for the thoughtless potion be awesome..
And angel-ish wings for the selfless potion..

I can just imagine how awesome it would look on my asura mesmer, with oxblood and abyss/black dyed armor with devil horns and wings…

Or the opposite way, white / gold dyes with angel wings and a halo…

I know there are some bugs with the potions already, but I just can’t be the only one wanting this right??

Would also like if the demon set also got a devil’s tail, not needed but would add more awesomeness to it all.

So do you support this or not?

Thanks in advice
/Zai – mesmer on FSP

I think the horns look great with my hellfire shoulders and gloves. No wings needed

Tequatl wings???

I never did teq so

Dwayna backpiece is angelic.
It’s just 200 gold if you dont have crafting at 500 or any mats

About that dwayna back, I realized that, and about demonic ish amror is back to mix n match gemstore armors… :U…

next project… make my own demonic wings… I have this hobby of making 3d models… only bad is I just cant implement stuff like I want :o

LOL The plate shoulders that were big to begin with were increased in size but no love for the halo too small to make any impression.

The ironic part is people are complaining how bulky those things look. Seems like ANET doesn’t know how to scale, big or small.

I dont understand the purpose of limiting the use of selfless and selfish potion to only the overworld. What could it possibly be imbalanced in dungeons, and pvp? it is but a tiny cosmetic graphic.

my main’s outfit has always looked like an angel, with wings, white and gold, and fire, so i was thrilled to get my selfless potion’s halo. unfortunately there’s not many places i can use it.

i really hope this can be fixed.

Oh c’mon another patch, and it isn’t fixed at all :/

Bump!

What’s the situation now?

was really hoping the patch would fix this – can we get some red love here?

Still wondering if I should go ahead and get my potions for my asura before I lose the chance to. Won’t bother spending 20g for something that will vanish inside my hair though =(

So should we give up on this one? or persist!

I don’t care that much about the size, but It really has to be placed in the middle of the head…

bump!

I’m surprised this hasn’t been addressed yet. Hope to hear something soon though.

I would gladly give up a Living Story patch to see the Halo and various other armor/weapon, clipping/scaling issues addressed. I don’t think you understand what it does to my OCD. Here’s a picture of my Quaggan-sized Halo.

While we’re on the topic of badly designed armor and items for the races… how about Charr armor always having the tail clip through the armor?

Still waiting patiently for over a week and I don’t want to see this thread die out. Guess I’ll have to start contacting customer service directly as well.

I don’t understand why Anet isn’t more willing to make some cosmetics comically oversized for Asurans instead of really tiny. Look at the horns on the helm on Braham’s armor skins for example, and imagine how much they’d suck if they were proportioned to be small. A lot of back piece skins are also way to small.

bumping this up.

So after the 18th we won’t get a chance to barter these, meaning that the 500 heirlooms I saved up I will end up destroying. No way i’m going to pay 20g for this. If any dev has any plan to change these, could you say so before I, and probably people like me, lose the chance to buy these for good?

So I went to the trouble of contacting Anet and this is what they said. Basically from my understanding of this form letter is they take it as a suggestion and have no plans on changing this. Even though it’s not a suggestion and it’s not an idea. It’s a rip off. Save your gold folks, because those of us who didn’t are out 10 gold and hours of play. I would say contact them too, but as you can see it does no good.

Yep : /

Still not a single reply… What did I expect?

I tried this on my 3 asura and was completely grossed out so I put it on my main sylvari engineer. Btw, the size of the halo changes based on the height of the asura, was almost invis on min height and bigger on max height. But always hovered way too far forward.. None of my asura really have big hair (and one is bald) but I just couldn’t stand it.

On my engie, it appears to be mounted from one of my branches and clips through that leaf. It also is not quite properly balanced over my head and, again, leans toward the front. This Sylvari is max height, also, which is why the halo looks absolutely gigantic. I saw it on another sylvari, a medium height female, and it was about “average” sized. It’s ridiculous on norn and max height charr.

Not as horrific as what asura must endure, but good lord. Was this just tested on humans? And what’s with the weird height scaling?

I hadn’t picked up the selfless, since my first purchase was the thoughtless potion and after the annoyance of scaling I figured I’d look up pictures of the selfless potion. I’m glad I did. The thoughtless potion’s horns are not even visible due to placement and size, which is unfortunate. Fixing the scaling on both potions would be excellent.

Just dropping my two cents, since it appears devs are watching this thread and waiting for enough interest.
