Guild Wars 2

When you preview the Sclerite Karka Shell, the tentacles move and wiggle around, but when you actually wear the item the tentacles don’t move. I think it’s bugged unless it is meant to be that way and when you upgrade it at the mystic forge it makes the tentacles move.

i know, its annoying its like a rock

Came here to comment on this as well. It is rather annoying.
I’m hoping this is just a bug that can be fixed, and not something that was meant to be.

I’d love for it to move like it does in the preview.
Please fix this one soon ANet!

Bumping with 15 characters. Pure Epicness would ooze out of the game when this is fixed.

This is shameful, do you even test your kittened content?!
The backpiece is boss when previewed yet utter dogcrap when worn.

And here mark my words, we wont see a fix to this in 6 patches.
Stop shipping kitten content and test your kitten please.

Also would like to eat my words if you fix it in a day or so in a minipatch or in this months patch.
But like thats gonna happen.

Why, a new content that gets released without testing, and doesn’t work at all? That’s new! Since Halloween, Wintersday, Lost Shore, Molten… all worked perfectly.
Why are you acting so surprised?
We have new items in gemstore, so it’s fine.

Some people need to learn to present their thoughts in a way that’s not so abrasive. Anyways, it should also be noted that the necromancer’s deathshroud removes the shell backpiece.

I’ve heard this is happening, but I was able to see it moving just fine on other people. (Don’t have one yet).

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe the animation could be a perk of the ascended version of the back piece?

So you have the exotic version, you preview it, and the game shows the preview of the ascended version, animation included. Neat.

I’ve talked to people, who have the ascended version in LA. It is exactly the same skin and has no animation either.
So if the animation is part of the ascended version only, this means the ascended version is bugged. In that case the exotic one is fine, but the preview is bugged.

Would be really nice to know, since I want to transmute the skin onto my fractal capacitor, so I have my zerker stats and +10 AR again. However, if the animation is only part of the ascended version I would have to upgrade it before transmuting, so this would be really nice to know. I’m not transmuting it until this has been clarified.

An answer from Arenanet would be appreciated, so i know if i can transmute and fixing it would be nice as well.

I’ll be pretty upset if the animation is intended for the ascended version only, I already transmuted it and can never get the ascended version. Not to mention it moved in the preview for the Exotic version.

I agree with you though, I’d really just like a Dev post acknowledging this and telling us whether or not its intended.

Please do not spread misinformation like this. What you’ve seen is the slight inertia from the character moving. Not the animation of the item.

This is a known bug as mentioned by a moderator here:

“Hi everyone,
The team is aware of this issue and working on solving it. Anyway we are going to remind them about the tentacles only moving in the item preview.”

No? The tentacles were moving even while he was holding still.

I’m not sure if it’s a display setting/rendering issue, or if it’s something that for some reason something ‘client’ side (ie, others may be able to see it where you may not).

All I do know is that it’s not broken in every case.

FIXED as of 17th May patch.

As someone who is unable to login just yet, I’d like to inquire about the state of this back piece being hidden on the Necro’s DS? ( hopefully the state is fixed? )

Edit: It is indeed fixed.
