Guild Wars 2

I bought the Shackles of Madness (Halloween gloves) because in the preview they looked great, only to find out that the chain is a single rigid body that looks like CRAP doing anything but standing.

Flying looks bad, walking with a hammer looks bad.. any time my hands aren’t at my side.

Anet, please fix this so that it dangles the way a chain would !!!!!

Honestly if they can’t fix the chain i would prefer it removed. I was looking forward to buying them as well..

Wow … are those images for real?

Well, thanks for letting me avoid a disappointing purchase!

Too bad. That would have looked good on my necro.

Yeah, I was thinking of a refund. But I’d prefer they take the time to just make them behave naturally

maybe turn up your graphics and look again, i dunno just a suggestion. Some animations might be lost on lower graphics

I can confirm that wielding a 2-handed hammer looks goofy.

In the preview window, the chains moved as I moved my toon. (I think I previewed them on my Norn).

I too was disappointed after acquisition that they did not sway as they did in the preview window.

As with the wings that while available looked bad and were only “fixed” later I might suggest picking the skin up on the chance it’ll get fixed/adjusted.
Better than it being fixed and having to wait a year to get them no?
And I say this wanting cob prices to crash and burn, so you’d better appreciate it!

Yeah, It’d be nice if they swayed or if it’s not possible, then if the chains could just be removed it wouldn’t look so awkward.

Or maybe longer chains that wrap around the arm a time or two? That’d get them out of the way.

I wish Anet would comment on the feasibility of this or a possible solution. The worst thing they could do is nothing

I too would like to hear an update on this. I wonder if it was a bug or intentional?

Seeing as this is free content i don’t see it being changed as fast.

The chain on “The Crossing” moves just fine, fix this please.

Finally put the skin on and then this. Would appreciate a fix for the chains, too, otherwise this skin in really nothing except wasted cobs.

Yeah, same here… This looks awful. Please fix the chains or remove them. We get cosmetics to look good, and this looks like cheap video-gamey garbage because of the utterly unrealistic chains. Unless they were MEANT to look like the sort of Halloween costume piece you’d be teased for wearing…

Has anyone reported this using the in-game bug report feature or a Support ticket? Or are you all counting on the right people coming across this thread?

I’m on this forum every day, sometimes more than I’m in game thanks to my work schedule and this is the first time I’ve seen this topic or heard about this issue.

I’m not saying a bug report would guarantee it’ll be fixed, but it’s much more likely than complaining amongst yourselves and hoping someone who is able to act on it will happen to overhear you.
