I LOVE the new heavy armor Phalanx Shoulders! They are the perfect finish for my Charr mix-and-match armor! (ALL of the new armors have promising elements. None appear to be simple re-skins. Thank you so much for that. And no trench coats! I just shed a tear of joy.)
Slight issue that I hope you can fix A.S.A.P.: The height of the shoulders is uneven. The left shoulder piece floats a good deal higher than the right.
Please lower the left side to match. DO NOT RAISE THE RIGHT SIDE! So very many armors suffer from shoulders flying in midair (not to mention being way oversized. I had to give up my Hall of Monuments Heritage shoulders because they both grew in size and began floating off of my body within a few months of original acquisition. I’ve seen pictures of them on Norns… I pity those players.)
Anyway, please even out the shoulder height. If you could please drop them both down onto my body and nudge them inward a little it’d be great, but if that’s asking too much I’ll settle for losing the hunchback look right now.
P.S. – It almost looks as if it might be the angle they are sitting at, more than the height. They might be the same height at the outside of the shoulder, while the left one is higher on the inside by the head. Or the left may also be tipped forward a bit. You can see more of its underside from the back.

Here’s another issue I found with the new sets. The medium “Viper” armor shows some obvious clipping in the Gem Store preview. This is the only reason I have not purchased a set (Human Female shown).
I did not create a new topic for this, because for all I know it is fine in-game, and only the preview is messed up. But if anyone can confirm one way or the other, it’d be nice to know whether I can buy it with confidence or if I need to wait for a fix.
And congratulations for correctly designing a non-symmetrical set for archers. That was always a problem in GW1 too. The arm that holds the bow is lightly armored all the way down to protect the inner forearm from the occasional bowstring burns. The arm that draws back the string is bare at the elbow for flexibility. (Although I will replace that massive hockey goalie mitt with something light or open-fingered). Like I said at the beginning of my first post, your armors are getting better!
