Guild Wars 2

Today I noticed that the Character Portrait that you see on the character selection screen suddenly looked different and did not display my character’s facial features accurately.

I am attaching a (slightly enlarged and thus pixely) comparison of the portrait as it should look (from an older screenshot) and how it looks now. You can see that the mouth section looks weirdly different.

I also attaced a screenshot of a preview with the total makeover kit, where you can see that the prortraits on the right have the same issue and don’t look like the character looks on the left.

I have noticed this bug on all of my female Ausura characters the most, but it affects other races as well.

Just so you know that it isn’t just you experiencing this issue, others have been reporting it as well since the end of July to the beginning of August when it was introduced with a game update. No word yet on their being aware of the issue or of when it will be resolved.

Also adding it to my Tracker – Living World/Game Update Bugs thread.

Thanks you, StinVec. Just took a look at your (awesome) thread, and I guess you could be right, this could be the same thing as the reported eyes bulging issue.

Just one thing that is odd, I am 99.9% certain that the issue is very recent, i.e. was not present a week ago. On the other hand, I could not find any screenshots I made recently that would confirm my suspicion, so I could be wrong.

Thanks for the compliment!

Ah. I’ve only really seen people reporting the eye bulge issue for human females before your report. Perhaps the eye bulge issue is limited to just human females (though I think I see a bit of the eye issue in your avatar comparison) and the most recent patch or a hotfix introduced the bug for Asuran characters’ mouths now as well.
I’ve updated it to specify this additional detail.
