Guild Wars 2

Right after the big update, my Charr’s body was changed to a much thinner body. There’s a comparison in the attached screenshot.

Lol he should have done a better pct after that heavy steroid cycle.

I wonder if its a bug related to this: To prevent unintended graphical anomalies with hairstyles and faces, all sylvari body patterns have been adjusted aesthetically to blend as nicely as possible.

Could your Charr maybe have some Sylvari in its genetic history? Maybe there was some sort of an affair many years ago. Tried to hide it hmmm? Just wait till the other Charr see he is part vegetable. :P

What’s up, Astral. This thread was made yesterday before the new patch came in that include that Sylvari change. I think they were referring to the Tequatl patch from two weeks ago as being the “big update” that introduced the issue.

Pudding, I added your report thread to my Tracker – Living World/Game Update Bugs thread and mentioned that this issue may also be related to another issue.

• Character: Body Type Changed
  Character body type has changed itself to a different body type than it was created with

This issue may also be related to the previously reported issue:

• Character: Hair Accessory Color Changed [ Dev Response ]
  Character hair accessory has changed itself to a different color

I decided to just buy a total makeover kit from the gem store to try and change it back, and I found out that it wasn’t that they changed the body type. At least, I don’t think they did. It’s that the Sorrow’s Embrace heavy chest piece now seems to be of a similar appearance regardless of what body type you have on a charr. Whether or not this is intentional I’m not sure.
