Guild Wars 2

Anet changed the heavy shoulders for HOTW. The chainmail part seems to curve inward now and the pads seem more detached from the neckbrace.

First screenshot is from december 6th, Second one is from today 2/22/14/

They look kitten y. Please revert. Kudos though for fixing that one miscolored chain plate on the bear helmet in the back ( been complainign to devs about that since release )

2nd screen shot from today

Yes please revert Anet, or we will have to listen to complaints for a month :P
Ty.

They also increased the glove size. Looks like the whole mesh is messed up.

My apologies for the low graphics. I’m not at home currently and this laptop is quite old.

Same problem here this is really getting on my nerves because I dont want to spend more money and effort on my perfected look.

Sorry, totally disagree. At least on the Norn. They added detail, gave the items proper mass, fixed clipping… Pretty much everything is better except the seam in the normals on the back of the shoulders.

Although I will agree, the massive SIZE of the shoulders on a human is idiotic now. And the narrowing of the ankles of the boots looks awful. Anet doesn’t get that the huge WoW shoulders & tiny feet don’t work in this game & they need to fix all the MASSIVE shoulders so be smaller & the tiny ballerina feet to be big.

They also fixed the jormag’s breath sword showing invisible in the inventory weapon slot.

They need to fix this :/ there has been a thread on the bug forums that has had a lot of exposure but no answer (T^T) bumming me out, I am less stalwart since these changes.

I’m actually thinking that humans got the norn mesh for the kodan armor. Look at the glove size in the screenshot i posted a few posts above. They look extremely bulky and waay oversized for a human.

Please change it back to before. I refuse to use hotw armour until anet fix this

Seriously, that looks TERRIBLE… It makes your arms look short and your elbows bent inward.

Seems to have something to do with body build of the character. Look at the comparison of gloves between me and a friend of mine.

Please revert the change, Anet. My charr is looking dumber than usual.

any news on this? how come none of the developer comment on this?

I’m with you guys. Fixing is okay, but the modellers SHOULD LEARN HOW TO SHAPE these things. Why the hell they make everything so over or undersized? Would it be so hard to work in a blueprint system to prevent clipping issues? NO
All it needs is logic & preparation.

I think it looks better, but I’ll be honest I didn’t even notice the change to begin with. Guess my human and the armor set were just made for each other.

Upon further inspection and thought, I guess the X-axis of the shoulders is rotated just a touch too much toward the chest than the back. Otherwise I see literally nothing else wrong with it.

The same problem with heavy chest piece of armor from sorrow embrace, but only on male charr, now it’s undersized and looks idiotic so I completely stopped using it. AN should give us a chance to choose old or new version of remastered pieces of armor. (sorry for my english :P)

They look better now. I dont see the issue.

Anet… thnx so much for fixing the HOTW shoulders!!!

One little problem now, it seems the gloves were enlarged as well, and now it just looks weird with the gloves seemingly too big for the shoulders. Screenshot attached.
