Guild Wars 2

The new hairstyle for female humans is bugged, glitchy, and clipping through left shoulder and neck most of the time. The one with flower. If you stood in one place for about a minute you will see all the clipping. This hairstyle is really pretty but it’s so glitchy.

Try on land and underwater to spot the clipping.

EDIT: I reverted back to my old hairstyle because this new one is weird – the back of my head is missing. . . ! o_o

yeah got the same issue with this hairstyle. it looked epic in the makeover window, so i chose it, but now it seems to be glued to my face and clips into armor and neck aswell. under water it looks very odd atm.please fix this as i love love this hair style.

I agree with the above. It also doesn’t help it clips with a LOT of the armor I own. The area around the neck needs more width, it’s clipping through the neck and shoulder armors too.

You see however the clipping already in the character editor, you just have to show your armor there, and unequip your headewear before.

Here also 2 pictures, it clips badly with the T3 cultural medium Armor in the first picture but not with the Barbarian Heavy Armor in the second.

However i saw the clipping in the editor and decided that i still wanted it

One of the male human hairstyles looks weird in some colours, especially the special colours. It clips with itself and there are odd dark patches at the sides eating half the ear.

I also love this hairstyle concept (the one with a flower for female humans), but the clipping is horrible! I mean, I can tolerate a /little/ clipping (everything in game clips somewhere), but this clips so much it just looks messy. It’s just not worth buying until it’s fixed.

On top of the clipping it doesn’t seem to look as good in game as it does in the make over menu. Its more more…blurry and low res. You can really see it on the character’s right side where the hair next to the flower is really just kinda of a blob of hair. But in the menu it looks way cleaner. Wish i had known it was going to look worse before i bought it

yeah i’ve noticed that aswell. int the makeover editor i had to take the armor off, because of the headpiece to see the look and it looked great in there. now the hair looks very bad quality in game. pixelated and no animation and like glued to my head and face. its clipping in my back, my neck, my chest my face and seems very very flat.
please adjust this anet

She’s not only wearing a helmet instead of the very promising nice hair style from the preview, she also has red/black hair on the outside (that’s the colour her hair shall have everywhere!), but with shaders on high she has greyish hair from the inside. It seems her hair is illuminated from the neck area. -> Picture 2

I am still not convinced if the entire hair style is buggy (because it also has no movement and looks like someone put too much hairspray on it -.- -> helmet) or if that is intented to look that way.. if yes O.o

My preview showed me something very different. The character selection looks pretty similar to the preview. -> Picture 1 (Here you can also see the illumination )

As people mentioned already, this new hairstyle doesn’t look the same ingame as it look in the Makeover window/character select screen/personal story cutscenes.
But, it’s not the only problem. The color also looks odd in this hairstyle, probably because it isn’t optimized yet as we can see by the “pixeled” hair in the character’s face.
I was trying to upload the image here, but i just can’t.

And the difference between the hair/color in the cutscene/character select.

We know that Anet have a lot more important things to do, but i really hope they fix this new hairstyle. It’s great and is the only reason i made my first female human char in any game.

I bought that hairstyle for my mesmer and it bugs me so much the quality on the in-game model is so low. It looked great in the preview… and if I knew this was the outcome I would have thought twice before buying that kit.

Hey,
any news on that?
Can you look into that issue as well? (The asura clipping or whatever already got some attention. :-))

Thanks.

Any news about that?

yeah can we get anupdate on that? the hair looks fozen. no animation and it clips into everything.

Serious, no response even if it is “Nothing will change”?

I have been wondering if there is a fix for this in the works as well. I bought this hairstyle for my Mesmer and loved it in the previews, but in game it just looks awful because of this issue.

And, nothing yet

Shall we report in ingame?

As you can see in my pictures above it’s not only that she looks like she’s wearing a helmet, there is also an illuminated area that seems radiating from the neck. This has to be a bug!? O.o

Don’t let her die like this! She wants to die with dignity! (Being a thief she dies a lot.lol)
