Guild Wars 2

This may be unique to female Charr’s only, but every shield I pickup and use (including PvP shields) all stand off my arm by at least 30cm. When on my back, they also hover above it by 30cm.

Is there any possibility that we could have this looked at? I can’t bring myself to use shields because of it as it looks so silly

Thank you.

It’s not a bug, but a feature.

The super mental power of the Engineers allow them to have their shield FLOAT using telekinesis.

That’s how powerful Engineers are!

I’ve been reporting this as a bug since the first beta weekend, unfortunately I don’t think anything will be done about this. All we can do is wear shields and armours that minimize this effect. As far as I know it happens to all races.

No not just a female bug, my shield is floating too…

It’s to prevent geometry clipping with the larger bracers.

And with long hair (it’s even not enough sometimes).

I can appreciate that, I’m just not sure it needs to be 30cm. 5cm distance would suffice

Yeah idk why it can’t just go as far as it has to not to touch the armour model.

Funny I never notice this until after I read this Now I notice even my pistol is magically held in play 30cm away from my body too

Oh? My shield, pistols, and rifle often turn 90% transparent from time to time…

i dont have any of this problems, but im a norn female engi, so may be only to other races. geez that must look weird. thought ive reported so much floating stuff lately (rocks, sand bags, npcs, quest items…) that i can totally believe that, seems like this guys have a problem with floating stuff.

The shield on my Asura is melded with his back so I can only see the center portion of it
