Embrace the darkness..
I have come across this issue a long time ago, after November’s Lost Shores release, and I haven’t seen any fix for it yet. I don’t know if people might call it a bug, but I would like to address it so maybe it can be fixed.
To start off, i’d like to point out that i’m very much into looks in games, and I love how we can set any look for our characters. The medium chest piece from the Honor of the Waves dungeon vendor is one of my favorite pieces of armor in the whole game, and I’ve bought it many times over. However, I started to notice something was really off about it after installing the Lost Shores back in November. The bottom part of it seemed very fat and just raised up, and weapons started to look like they’re floating besides my character(s) instead of stuck on them. Luckily, I have screenshots to show what I mean. The first pic is before the patch, showing how it was before, and the second is after.
Notice how the bottom part looks like it’s being raised up by air, and how the weapons are just floating there. I tested the floating weapons issue out with other armors, and they seem to move back into the character. It feels like there’s empty space added on the svanir chest piece which pushes them far from the character’s sides.
I know this might be a nonissue but I hope you take a look at it, Anet.
