I can’t shut my mouth!

Okay, okay… I know what some of you are thinking; “Yes, we know!

That’s not what I’m talking about. My female human periodically keeps her mouth hanging open after the “lip flap”. It’s really ugly, annoying, and persistent.

Okay, okay… I know what some of you are thinking; “Yes, we know! Female human! Mouth always open! We understand!

Seriously, though. Please fix!

Update: When this happens (which is surprisingly often) I can equip/unequip an item until my character says their stock “I got a good item” line. It’s the fastest workaround I’ve found.

This seems to be the “workaround” update. Here are mine:

  • I force my character to say something in order to close her mouth.
  • I toggle to “invisible” and then back “online” to talk in Guild chat.
  • I suspend SweetFX in order to keep installations from freezing, then reactivate SweetFX.
  • I play a non-Ranger to keep my Animal Companion from attacking when set on “Peace”.

Fixes are coming, right? Right? Anyone? Bueller?

This isn’t just a female human problem, my male sylvari necromancer’s mouth got stuck open too.

It’s a client-side visual bug; I had a friend look and everything looked normal to them. For me, it went away after a bit of just ignoring it, though I’m sure it could happen again. I just don’t know what triggers it.

Your character probably said something again, and closed its mouth properly. (Even if you don’t remember hearing it, we are so used to their jibber-jabber that it can easily be missed as background noise).

Fair warning, ANet; I’m not going to let this bug get swept under the rug. It’s horribly ugly for my main toon to be running around with her mouth hanging open catching flies. I’m going to keep haunting you about this, so please fix it or be prepared to silence me. I’m about to start pestering you about the idle animations again too. You said you were going to restore them, and I’m holding you to that. Now that I can take nice close-up screen captures, I want my variety of poses back.

Here are some screen shots for ya. Trust me; it’s no fun running around with a dumbfounded look on your face all day.

My character can’t believe that this bug is still unacknowledged. See? Her mouth is hanging open in astonishment.
