Guild Wars 2

Specific ones like the Jotun, Lich form, and Bjarl the Rampager come to mind. Now certain areas on their extremities stretch into these spikes whenever they move around…

#1: Look closely at the kodan’s hands, her hands are impaling her!

#2: An autopsy reveals this jotun was affected by the “Spikening” before he died.

#3: Bjarl the Rampager, a notable victim of this phenomenon.

Those nightmare insect thumbs are especially disturbing in personal story cutscenes :P

Is it a homage to something like Resident Evil, Silent Hill or Half-Life?

I’m disturbed.

What? No, I haven’t anything useful to add here. :/

I have never seen things like that, except for 1 bug with a certain tonic that sometimes does this. (I think you also have to be using the broom but not sure, never tried to do it, just have seen it in LA, and eventually I think it crashes the person doing it)

I wonder if this is something with your graphics card or drivers.

That’s really weird and scary lol. I have seen others reporting it too: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Jotun-Mesh-Error/

Oh btw, maybe you better reporting it here too: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Issues-with-character-art-weapons-or-armor-2

Bumping

I noticed that the spikes issue has been resolved for the Jotun mobs and Lich form, though the Kodan are still having that issue
