Guild Wars 2

If a character has an outfit equipped and active, broken armor will not make that outfit’s pieces disappear visually, as without outfit.

1. This is confusing if someone has broken armor and outfit equipped, because character appears as if armor is not damaged. In such case the only notification remains in bottom right side of HP circle.
2. This visual bug may (or may not) drop sales of outfits in Trading Posts.

Server: Any (Tested on SFR)
Location: Any (Tested in Edge of the Mists)
Character: Any (Tested on personal: Antiplay)
To reproduce: Jump down in Edge of the Mists (jump in abyss, respawn, die again and again to break armor faster)

Since Outfits are more or less treated as one piece, I’m not sure the game could render the individual pieces of armor not showing.

The broken heart at the bottom seems a good indicator, though. I doubt this would impact Gem Store sales. Just my opinion, of course. =)

But this is a bug. I agree outfits are treated as one piece now, but the game should render them when the armor is broken.
