After purchasing the Norn T3 Cultural Armor (Heavy Stag Armor) for my guardian, I was disappointed to to find a lot of clipping issues with the art work which ruins the experience of finally achieving this armor (119g for armor is pretty expensive considering the numerous options available for exotic level armor compared to T3’s rare level)
The problem is that with any character with long hair (i.e pony tails, or beards which norns tend to have!) clips through the front chest or the hood of the armor.
It is more noticeable once the character moves, I know weapons/shields clip but I can live with that as its not that bad, however the characters hair clipping is annoying to the eyes.
I have attached a few screenshots to show what I am talking about.
I know it’s annoying dude, but i really doubt there’s something they could do about that. It’s minor clipping and it often happens with long hair. It’s not an armor-related problem.

Hi Fjandi, thanks for your reply. Something can be done, it can be fixed, I am sure Anet will not be happy with it either. Wether or not they are allowed to allocate time to fix the issue is another story. I would like to believe that Anet would see this as a major bug as it ruins the artwork and should not be expected in a AAA titled game.
It is an armor bug as other armor pieces do not have the hair sticking through the chest piece, also when the character moves the hair is more visible as it moves as well.
I believe it depends on the shape of the armor piece…if the armor is totally “flat/adherent to the body” then the hair won’t clip through the chest. Imo is not an armor problem, is a hair-related problem, the hair should not clip through the armor but should change shape and adapt depending on the armor sesign.
Don’t get your hopes up too high…they probably won’t fix this. I have reported so many graphical bugs…none of them has been fixed. They don’t realize some people hate this kind of bugs and even stop playing their chars because of that. If i were them i would put much more effort into fixing graphical bugs, this would improve the game experience for lots of players and would give a better image of anet. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Corrupted-Orrian-Epaulets-graphical-bug/first#post2312658
I reported this bug like a month ago. Nothing. I stopped reporting other bugs since i don’t like wasting my time but this one is really annoying and should be fixed. I am fully confused tbh, they had spent time to design those armors, and some of them are awesome (not that many, but still…), i can’t believe they don’t care about graphical bugs.
I’d like to add that the norn T3 cultural medium shoulders clip rather badly with any long hair styles due to the frills on it. Having the frills disappear for long hairstyles could be an easy fix.
“Note on clipping issues: While we understand the desire to have all clipping issues resolved, the way our items are designed sometimes causes some small issues that cannot be fixed easily. We’re looking for severe clipping (like your shield is impaling you or your daggers are completely hidden by your coat.) Things like hair clipping or minor clipping of weapons into armor are sometimes unavoidable.” https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/March-Issues-with-character-art-weapons-or-armor
I know this solution isn’t ideal because you put a lot of time into designing your toon but you may have to use a hair makeover kit if the clipping bothers you.

Sorry not an option – I chose that character pretty much for its hairstyle, and the clipping is anything but minor in this specific case.

I agree. It isn’t minor on my norn. It stands out horribly. (see photo) It’s too bad, because I’d love to have the set. But not with a such a blatant flaw at that cost. If they just took off the back part, I’d be more than happy.
