Guild Wars 2

Just a heads up to anyone who may be in the market for one of those fancy ultra wide monitors with the 21:9 ratio: playing on a wide resolution like 2560×1080 will cut off part of the top and bottom of the overall world you see. The UI still functions just fine, but the character select screen cuts off the heads of overly tall characters like the Norn. Once you get to the head customization section you can see the head just fine.

Normal game play is fine.

This isn’t a bug, more of an advisory. The game still looks great in that resolution, but be advised that if you are looking at getting one of these kinds of monitors, expect things like the screenshot provided.

Someone on my stream mentioned that this happens on human male warriors and I noticed it when beta testing revanent. My res was standard 1080 so it seems to be a problem regardless of resolution. You can see the head if you lower height to minimum value but sort of an annoying thing to deal with.

You can find multiple threads about this ‘height’ bug over in the Bugs sub-forum. I don’t think it has anything to do with resolution or screen size, as I have encountered it on my laptop.

Good luck.
