Guild Wars 2

Seeing some bad clipping issues on many of the female human boots. This was happening way back at launch, was fixed for a long time and just noticed it’s happening again.

Here’s some pics, just a few samples of what’s going on.

Keth.3495:

Made an in-game bug report about this a couple of days ago, but thought I should also post here. I am also experiencing clipping with the ancestral outfit.

Human mesmer

I confirm this happens on this particular body type. Kinda afraid to ask for it to be fixed, because most fixes end up in making skirts look like baloons.

Also having the nasty left hip clipping with ancestral outfit. My human female has the second from the left on character creation “curvy” body type.

The outfit looks so good, but this clipping looks so bad.

Race: Norn
Sex: Fermale
Class: Mesmer
Armor: Council Ministry Shoes

The shoes clip at the knee whenever the character’s legs are bent, either in attack motion or while jumping as illustrated in the image.

One more… I assume I need to make separate posts.

Race: Norn
Sex: Fermale
Class: Mesmer
Armor: Acolyte Mask

The character’s forehead clips through the mask at the bridge of the nose. Disregard the name of the mask in the gear screenshot, gear names dont make sense anymore if they were transmuted.

Race: Sylvari
Sex: Male
Profession: Elemental
Armor Set: Orchid Epaulets & Orchid Gloves (cultural armor tier 2)

Description: Neither Orchid Epaulets or Orchid Gloves appear when previewing or equipping them on my elemental. I bought both from Onnoir, the tier 2 salesman, and the other tier armor works just fine. Unequipping and equipping didn’t fix the issue.

Item name: Artifact of the Sunless, but this bug applies to every ascended focus.
Race: human.
Gender: male.
Issue: the necromancer focus skill #4 (Reaper’s Touch) is bugged while using an ascended focus. Basically the scythe you send is misplaced/wrongly rotated.
The 2 screenshots I added display respectively the bugged animation while wielding the Artifact of the Sunless and the correct animation while wielding a random focus (tried that out with different foci as well, same result).

This is a simply explained armor art bug. All human male with medium to largest physique has the thighs clipping through the light koda leggings (Way of Koda). I dont have a picture as I have switched back to the smaller body. I’d like to switch back eventually as I much prefer the look of the medium physique with this armor.

Race: Norn
Gender: Male
Class: Heavy(Warrior)

The magnus left eye patch clip with my characters forehead. I circled it with red line for more visibility.

Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class: Warrior

I am wondering if the slight difference between the Branded Shoulderplate and Guild Defender Shoulderplate is intentional. The model/look is the same for both but the Guild Defender Shoulderplate is slightly bulkier.

The GW2Wiki even says: “The armor set is almost identical to Banded armor except that the chestpiece displays the logo of the guild the player is currently representing.” So is there supposed to be a difference between the two or is it a bug? I like the look of the Guild Defender piece but unfortunately it is no longer available.

Race: Charr
Gender: Male
Class: Warrior
Piece of armor in question: Berserker’s Dreadnought Visor

There is clipping on part of the face plate. It will be wonderful if you guys can look into it.

When I am wielding [Bolt] in my main and [The Moot] in my off then I get both aura’s.

However, when I weild [The Moot] in my main and [Bolt] in my off hand or any other weapon in my main hand then I do not recieve my [Bolt] aura.

I need the [Bolt] aura as my [Frostfang] will not have an aura and weilding those two legendary’s without any aura is quite painful.

Issue: Clipping artifact
Item: Zodiac Heavy leggings and Mistoforge Greatsword

You design a really cool armor and you make it clip with almost every greatswords except the ones that are thin.Half the greatswords in this game are huge which means it will clip with half the weapons, why would you design it like that?

The fix is actually quite simple, the leggings of the armor have this robe,dress call it whatever you want that is elevated too much, it needs to be closer to the leggs, and less in the air in order for the weapons not to clip, i was so happy to get my wvw weapon only to find out how much it clips trough the armor.

And before you make comments let me give you the answer: “No i do not want to use different leggings i payed for the zodiac and i like so i would like to use it”, “No i do not want to use different Greatsword because i played wvw i did the achivment i would like to use the mistforge skin”

I don’t think its too much to ask for the dress on the zodiac heavy leggings to be toned down a little aka to go lower to the leggs so it doesn’t clip.

Item: Aetherblade heavy pauldrons and Avenger’s shoulderplates (Cultural Tier 2)

The shoulderplates create clipping artifacts with the most shields (e.g. Krytan Shield, Iron Shield)

I don’t understand why charr footprints bug still exist. it’s global problem not just like others (one piece of armor clips another piece)

Two issues with Male Asura hair & face:

1. The male Asura’s long hair dreads and scarf hairstyle clips inside the eyeball of this particular face, in the upper left hand side of the left eye. It’s been there since the introduction of that hairstyle. Appears in game, in previews, and in character creation.

2. Unable to preview 2 Male Asura hairstyles:
a. Cornrows are completely bugged
b. Top Knot does not show the hair at the top of the knot.
…This is especially annoying for the cornrows. It’s really hard to judge if I should use kits to change the hair. These two hair bugs have been around for a few months. Only appears in preview screens and character creation.

Race: Sylvari
Sex: Male
Class: Ranger
Issue: No Color on the underside of coat when put on High Shaders Graphics option
Item: Sylvari Tier 1 Medium Armor Evergreen Coat

Color is present when put on Low or Medium Shaders but disappear when put on High.
The first picture is on High Shaders and the Second picture is on Medium Shaders.

Race: Norn
Sex: Male
Class: Guardian
Issue: Shading in Neck area of T3 Norn Armor
Item: Stag Mail

There seems to be a glitch in the neck area for T3 Norn armor on males. The issue was noticeable when wearing T3 without a helmet. It became even more noticeable now that i have the Juggernaut as the juggernaut thinks the neck area is part of the armor too.

I just noticed this and now that I’ve seen it, I can’t unsee it, and it is driving me batty.

The Charr right pawprint is backwards.

Race: Sylvari
Gender: Male
Class: Theif
Outfit: Shadow Assassin

His ears are missing and you can see straight through his head.

Race: Asura
Sex: Male
Hairstyle: Scarf on top of the head
Description: Corners of the scarf can be seen projecting from middle of the ears, making it look unnatural.

I apologize in advance for the upcoming three posts, but I assume it would be better to keep each issue separate. In order of least to most annoying.

Race: Human (Tested, could not duplicate on Norn)
Gender: Female
Armor Type: Heavy (Warrior)
Armor: Scallywag Chest (Tested, still happens if it’s the only piece she’s wearing)

Not too game-breaking, but something that’s only come up (or that I only noticed) in the most recent update. At the bottom of the Scallywag Chest, when I initially equip it, it’s perfectly fine. Upon moving, the bottom portion gets weird light spots on them that make it look like it’s jagged or something. It remains that way after I stop, and they will not disappear until I unequip and reequip the top, and will pop right back up as soon as I move. Tested with different dye colours, still happens. Tested on Norn Female, doesn’t happen.

Race: Human
Gender: Female
Armor: Tier 2 Cultural Light Armor (Human), Aristocrat’s Coat

If you look at the wrist, where the hand meets the little bracers, you can clearly see right through her wrist to the background. If you were to turn the camera angle so that you’re looking at the inside of the arm, you can see through to the inside of the bracer on the outer side of the arm. Sadly enough, this can’t even really be covered up by gloves, as that top cuts off gloves at the bracer to keep it there.

Tested without other armor pieces on (gloves hidden anyways), still missing wrists.

Race: Human
Gender: Female
Armor: Magitech Leggings

Picture makes the error obvious.

My Ranger is missing one (1) bottom. It’s like a big, see-through frown where she should have a bottom.

It became quite obvious in Dry Top where jumping is the accepted mode of transportation, and looking up to see where you’re leaping gives you a better view of the sky than you should from under a skirt. Upon discovery of it, it also can be seen when kneeling down to revive somebody if you’re looking from the front.

This is one of my favourite items for Medium Armour! Please save the day!

Race: Norn
Gender: Female
Armor: Zodiac Jerkin

Description: The ‘Zodiac’ chest piece of the set gives fairly bad clipping issues with smaller weapons, on bigger proportioned Norn women. I tested this on two different Norn characters I have. These screenshots were taken while moving, weapons sheathed. Below is a screenshot with the Super Sword skin, because it’s transparent and sort of shows off exactly where it’s making contact, and another piece of a screenshot showing an entirely hidden ‘Iron Dagger’ save for the pommel. It’s almost hard to see that a dagger is even there. This problem is bad with some swords, most daggers, really bad with a lot of torches. The second attachment shows a back mounted weapon exhibiting similar issues. Greatswords, Longbows, probably other 2h weapons as well tend to go through the butt. It seems to me that the problem is with the sides of the Zodiac coat are flaring out too much, and this clips most every weapon that is hung on the side and a lot of back weapons, save for maybe the short bow.

Issue: Gaps so large you could fit an Asura in them

Race/profession: Charr female warrior

Race: Asura
Gender: Male
Armor skins:
Radiant Vambraces and Profane Greatcoat.

Tried it out on all my male characters, so far I only found the issue on my asura.
The sleeves of the Profane Greatcoat are clipping through the wrists of the Radiant Vambraces.
It’s far more prominent on the left side, than it is on the right side.

VERY BASIC GLITCH THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTICED FROM THE BEGINNING

RACE: HUMAN MALE
ARMOR: LIGHT KODA

ALL the Light Koda leggings have the upper to lower thighs clipping through. Its most noticable on medium to large physique’s . Nothing special or custom at all. The glitch is solely in the leggings piece. Slender builds it is not as noticable but its still there, especially when moving around.

Race: BEARDED Human
Sex: Male (I hope…)
Armor: Adventurer’s Scarf/Mantle

My mantastic beard clips right through them!

Race: Asura
Gender: Female
Class: Mesmer
Armor: Asuran T1 cultural light armor

Issue: The light pants have a lot of clipping issues and look way too blocky on the back, also part of the glove on the left hand disappears when I equip a headpiece with the mask of the silent skin. I highlighted the issue on the screenshots

I’ve got to expand my previous post:

Race: Asura
Gender: Both
Armor: Profane Greatcoat, every glove that goes further up than the wrist and isn’t the profane glove.

The Profane Greatcoat just clips through every longer glove I tried.

Race: Norn
Armor: Adventurer’s Mantle (have not tested Scarf)
Issue: crazy clipping

Clips like mad through facial hair.

Race: All, as far as I can tell
Armor: Viper’s Jerkin

The left arm (covered arm) is skinnier than the right.

Race: Asura
Clothing Item: Trickster Boots (Gem Store)

The two boots on Asura have a misplaced node or something that causes a strange line of mesh to merge the two. See the attached screenshot where the red circle highlights the issue.

Bad Clipping – Aetherblade Warboots – Heavy – Sylvari

Species: Sylvari
Gender: Female
Class: Heavy Armor
Item: Aetherblade Heavy Warboots (Gem Store!)
Body Type: Still not numbered…see image
Issue: Boots clip horribly with skin of character model

Description:
The Aetherblade Heavy Warboots have severe clipping with the skin of the body.
Since the body types are still not numbered to reference which body type is encountering the clipping, I’ve included an image of the body types from a makeover kit with the current one encountering the issue.

Other body types may be encountering the issue as well, however, I did not check the other body types as that task should not be on the customer to do so and should have been done before the item was even released.

As this is not the first gem store armor reported to be clipping with the body of the actual (non-human) character model, please properly preview new Gem Store armors on each species/gender/body type to keep issues like this from happening and to ensure release of professional quality items to your consumers.

Twisted/distorted left arm – Human Female – Greatsword

Race: Human
Gender: Female
Class: Light Armor (Mesmer)
Item: Happened to every Greatswords I’ve tried on.
Issue: When using Greatsword skill 1 (mesmer) and Idle animation while holding a Greatsword , left arm changed its shape badly , twisted / distorted.

Description

Hello Dev team , If you are reading this. Since few days ago my mesmer encountered a bug which gave me a big headache everytime I saw it since this is my new character too and it’s ruinning my gaming experience for mesmer. I started to see the issue after I exited ‘Edge of the Mist’ (with a big group fight) before that match the character is still ok.

When my mesmer is using Greatsword skill 1 , her left arm changed its shape badly , twisted / distorted and also when she’s doing the idle animation for Greatsword too , same thing happened. I tried to wear different armors , even took off all the armors and test. The problem still occured. (I’ve tested her on almost 10 Greatswords , in different price and rarity. )

I keep on testing by created a Human female Ranger (which can use a Greatsword) too , in the idle animation same thing happened again just like the mesmer.

I tried to observe random players who are mesmer in World event , If they ’re Human female mesmer and using Greatsword skill 1 , their left arm is bugged just like mine , but if that player is a Human male mesmer I dont see anything wrong at all.

(This bug made me see every human female mesmer like this )

‘Repair’ command cant fix this bug , tried it for couple times.

Please fix this bug , I’d appreciated a lot. Thanks for your help in advance.

Female Charr
New Hairstyles
Clipping issues

The female Mohawk hair is the one that clipps the least. It clipps with the face of my main though. In Fact the other female hairs have more severe clipping issues with horns and ears. The asura and sylvari hairs have worked around ears and such features in a really nice way. I wish the same love could be shown to charr hairstyles. Previous hair-designs have been dealing better with Charr facial features such as the face itself, horns and ears. It’s not like ears and horns are positioned in different places…. Some may Point in different directions but thats about it.

Leg- and chestpiece are clipping.

Race: Norn (only one I tested it with)

Armor: Tested Aetherblade Gauntlets and Aetherblade Pauldrons.

Issue: Both Gauntlets and Pauldrons clip with 90% of the shields.

I made a gallery of 94 shields that show the clipping (94 shields because others are just duplicates in different color etc.)

Description: As you can see, the hair on the left side of my character is not connected to the head at all when he’s wielding a weapon in his hands. It’s an issue that bugged me a lot when I looked at my character after paying gems to get this new hairstyle.

Nice work on the new hairstyles by the way!

One of the new hairstyles included in the recent patch clips with the top of the norn tier 3 cultural heavy armor chestpiece. Specifically there is a fur part on the back of the chestpiece that the hair goes straight through and is quite noticeable. The hair also clips with the ancestral outfit.

The Item is acquired from the great lodge in hoelbrak from the npc Valdsam. The default name of the chestpiece is Stag Mail. The ancestral outfit is from the gemstore.

Armor Piece: Dreadnought Visor

Description: The Dreadnought Visor from Charr cultural tier 3 is clipping with one of the new faces from the festival of four winds update (attachment 4). The snout of the new face clips through the front of the visor (attachment 1 and 2), the nose itself is stretching out into a weird pointy shape and touches the front point of the visor (attachment 3).

Hey there, several charr clippings I’ve found, my engineer posing is the stocky upper body female model.

• Vigil Honor Pauldrons(heavy), the right shoulder part is closer than the left side and while in idle movement, even slightly, it’s clipping inside your neck, both on female and male charrs first noticed on my guardian.

• Whisper’s Secret Shoulderguards(medium), while using a shortbow on thief it does not follow the right arm movements and clips horribly while in combat stance and shooting. With dagger/sword it does follow and no clipping.

• Now comes the interesting part: I made the Spinal Blade Pack, though it happens with all backitems and noticed that it rises up to your neck when in combat stance using a rifle, while using a pistol it does not. Since Flamethrower/Elixir Gun has the same issue perhaps it’s somehow tied to the rifle? Might be worth checking that out. EDIT: When walking with rifle in use the backitem stays where it’s supposed to but while running it’s up on your neck.

• Then some fun stuff: Not sure if this happens with all the classes but if you have your backitem on show and are using a shield, if you use the Stow/Draw Weapons button the back item follows your shield for a second before returning to your back.

• And last comes the Charr T2 cultural medium armor, Wrangler Coat. All of the backitems are attached to the hoodie part of the armor, while nothing serious and doubt anything can be done to it, it does make some of the back items look quite hilarious.

Most importantly I would hope that the backitem with the rifle could be solved and that it would also finally, finally make the flamer not look so bad. And that the pictures could be attached in the middle of the text… Long post, thanks for the patience.

The fur on the mantle moves with the head, like its attached to it, making the fur stretch out very far. it has been like this since the launch of the game, so i think its time for a well deserved fix. ^^

Okay so I’m sure the clipping issues with the fractal shield have already been talked about dozens of times, but isn’t it about time to get this thing fixed? The fractal shield has had issues with horrible clipping possibly since it was first released; it is a beautiful design but I hardly see anyone using it due to the clipping issue. This issue is present on any race/class as far as I know and has been in the game for far too long.

A simple fix would be to move it away from the character slightly; there are plenty of shields that hover a small distance from the character, and that would easily make more sense for a fractal shield than having it sitting inside the character model.

People work hard for this beautiful shield, and it deserves a long-needed fix already. Legendary weapons have been modified several times, so I don’t see why this one can’t be when it is in desperate need of a fix.

Race: Human
Gender: Female (Likely happens for Males too)
Profession: Warrior
Armor Piece: Protector’s Footgear (Human Heavy Cultural Armor Tier 3 Boots)
Problem: Involuntary dye color changes

Description: On the Protector’s Footgear, whenever I have the Dust Dye (also the default dye put on when using the dye remover) placed on the boots, they change to the Sky Dye whenever I do the following: switch zones, switch characters, or even completely log off the game and log back in. If I have a different pair of boots equipped just transmuted to the Protector’s Footgear (i.e. currently I have the Heavy Plate Greaves equipped from the WvW Badges of Honor gear vendor in the borderlands), they still do the same thing.

Please fix this minor, yet annoying, bug. Thanks!
