The light top from CoE covers the Glow on the back.
Anybody has other clothes with that issue?

I would imagine most armours cover glow? Unless you don’t mean skin glow?

i mean it’s kinda common sense that armor will cover your skin unless you prefer running around 100% naked without armor (or wearing skimpy light armor)

That looks pretty bad, uhh, would hate to wear an armor like that! I mean the back is clearly exposed but the glow is still obscured? Have you reported it? I know they haven’t been very quick to fix armor issues, but it never hurts. I haven’t noticed anything like that so far but will check my equipment next time I log into game.

I think you are the only one who knows what i meant with this thread here.
And no i havent reported it, because im also not sure if they would fix it.
Still, i was so glad that i earned that top after farming so hard for it…
well, its a shame to watch my sylvari when its night now

huh that’s weird. I don’t know why they would cut the glow for that armor piece. Most armors that shows skin that glows on slyvari do glow.

I had a similar issue with armor I was considering using because T3 light cuts the glow off abruptly but that’s probably because the glow would look weird with the full set unless it was incorporated into the rest of the piece.

Don’t be afraid to bug these sort of issues. Sometimes they can be fixed, sometimes they’re a part of the armor’s texture and therefore isn’t the same system as the skin texture. In this particular case with the CoE armor, the skin file wasn’t pointing to the correct material. This is fixable, and will be fixed… though I can’t predict in which build it will materialize. My fix today on this doesn’t release next, so please be a bit patient but know the correction is coming. ;}

As for armors like the tier 3 cultural, that has been painted directly onto the armor and will take other means to fix. It means cutting into the armor, fixing the alpha and texture of the armor piece cut, bringing in the skin underneath it and hooking that up to work with re-weighting and checking that it doesn’t introduce new clipping …more than just a re-point. I know this because I’ve seen you guys mention the bug and have fixed it when I was in the file for different bugs.

Of course, not every armor can be adjusted for these requests (or is permitted), but where it can happen I will take a look and do my best to get to it when my schedule priorities allow. I may not always agree a fix is warranted or necessary, but I am watching and listening.

So if you see bugs like this, please list them. There are a lot of moving pieces in this game and it’s hard to have eyes everywhere. Thanks for posting!

Wish there were more armours that allowed for more glow to be shown. I know some people start the whole ’don’t want skimpy armour’ thing, but personally I find the glowing effects awesome and would like them to be more visible on Sylvari.

A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”

@Kristen: Wen can we expect Sylvari cultural armor problems to be addressed? I’m talking about things like dye spots not working (light t1 and 2 female) and missing glow (med t2, light t3) or part of the set being totally irrelevant to the set (female light t2 mantle).

I always look for amours that show the glow as well. Like the Winged armor set, that shows of most of the back, the arms and the left leg. I like my sylvari’s glow, her pattern and all the little details. I don’t want to hide it all.

I also would like the glow visible more often in more outfits.

But this post is a slight aside to Soulmyr: I was perplexed by T2 Light shoulders as well until I realized they let me have the shoulder sprouts even if I wanted the T1 chestpiece. So they get covered up in the actual set but give you more mix and match flexibility.

For medium armor female in priory all but 1 set covers everything. Makes me a sad camper.

Female sylvari T1 (Arborist) has a related bug, I think. The torso skins don’t match up—the bottom half of the torso is shiny—creating a pretty terrible seam. Do they have the same root cause? (see attached picture: torso is shiny on lower half, but not on upper half).

Does anyone know if the new trickster light armor skin glows? It seems like it was made for sylvari.

How does trickster armor look like it was made for sylvari? It’s literally leather and feathers on the shoulders and gloves.
