Guild Wars 2

So I saw the horns from the Thoughtless potion… http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gw2-thoughtless-potion-horns1.jpg

Is the placement bugged? It seems like the vertical axis is off or something. At first glance I immediately thought it’s definitely bugged, but people seem to take it for granted that it simply sucks this bad… Is it like intentionally floating in the air

It simply seems that it’d perfectly fit the sylvari’s forehead on the pic for example if it were lowered. I can’t believe that this would be intentional…

Same goes for the Selfless potion. Obviously it that one isn’t designed to connect with your character’s head, but it just feels awfully high away from our character’s heads. http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gw2-selfless-potion.jpg Like suspiciously far away, that’s also why I’m asking if they are bugged or not. It just feels bizarre, especially with the horns…

So they won’t clip with helmets, of course.

I actually kind of like it that way, really.

Instead of horns they should have made the potion apply a devil tail or something (in the case of charr, modify the existing tail).

Yea it’s obviously so-as to not clip with helms. Which is fine for the halo, since halos are designed to float above a head. But the horns are gonna look odd floating above the head when they should jut out from the sides.

At the moment I see no point at all in bothering to get the horn potion… Sadly I’ll probably end up doing it anyways…
But yeah, it’s unlikely that it will get “fixed” since there would most likely be a huge clipping issue.
There might be something in the future that fits perfectly with it though… so yeah..

Part of me wants to get the horns too but then another part doesn’t want to spend another three hours across six days to get it when I could be doing other things.

Anyway, this was a nice addition, and it opens the door for many new cosmetic awards we may get to see in the future.

Yes. I’d prefer these type of potions over costume items.

I would get the horn only because of all the other pwetty super angels getting the halo.

Horns are supposed to clip with helmets. They’re pointy and poke holes through them. :o

Probably the only thing that justifies clipping other than Charr tails.

They could just stick’em onto the head and make them longer~

It reminds me of the gw1 halo /horns from wintersday.

Except those ones didn’t float. They hid your headpiece though, which would be better than floating imo o.o

Would be nice if we got a dev’s response. Even with the “so it won’t clip w helmets” it still seems absolutely ridiculous and stupid… I can’t believe it’s intentional without an official confirmation. And it’d help me choose which one I want.

I’d have assumed it should work like those devil horn town clothes that we got on the very first halloween event (i think). So.. Any official confirmation if this is bugged?

Easy to fix this sorry misdesign:
Make the horn Longer. If you’re wearing a helm, it will look just good, no real clipping issues. If have no helm/hat on, then it won’t float at least. We have “Devil Horn” town clothes anyway ^^

I like the idea of both items, I just wish they’d both have more of a noticeable glow effect.

I’d like this idea.

But just anything. Just not what’s ingame… It’s ridiculous…

An official response would suuuuuure be gooood around now…

mmmmaybe today? no?
