Guild Wars 2

I dunno if it’s just me, or this particular item, or what….but my shoulders are HUGE after the patch.

It’s wonky lookin.

Here’s an older picture of the same armor.

Or your human is just mutating into a Charr. We have this same issue. At least your shoulders don’t float….yet….

Yeah they changed it, same happened to mine. I made a thread on it but they merged it with a COMPLETELY unrelated topic of Gemstore armor? Lol?

I really do absolutely loathe the scale of a lot of items in this game; shoulders and gloves are particularly suspect for being consistently oversized. The toxic ones look absolutely comical, for instance.

I’ve noticed this and don’t like it. My well dressed guard has had a sizing issue in the recent patch indeed…

Pictures attached.

For the love of god please fix this! It ruins on of my sets.

They need to change this, or at least give design reasons as to why they changed it. Why fix something that was not broken? Now it just makes us look like fat Norns and it clips into its own set, when before it did not. (T^T) bumming me out.

Kodan heavy armor seems to have had an accidental size increase, among other things. The pelt on the back and the knee guard are also messed up.

they messed with the Human version also. Shoulders are massive now, clip into themselves. Don’t know why they “fixed” something that was not broken.

This happened this patch and thanks for checking humans.

I think they messed with at least both human versions(male and female) because now the left shoulder clips into the left arm of my human female warrior. and the shoulders seem to be repositioned and maybe resized. It looks ugly as hell. Plz fix/revert this change!

Yeah, I noticed similar issues with Ascalon armor. The gloves seem larger and the metal areas can now be dyed and appear more reflective.

I’ve noticed this aswell with the shoulders of the kodan heavy armor. Before the patch came in, i looked like a kittening kitten quarterback, now i look like i was hired for the silly nannies. :/ Not wow, anet pls revert change. Attachment makes my point totally obvious!

This looks like a fix for Charr!! look at the shoulders, they are way better now compared to before where the shoulders get a weird shape.. now they look normal.

Hopefully they fix it in a reasonable time. My shoulders aren’t slumped like a Charr… My guardian has proper shoulder posture and deserves shoulders which show this.

Human Male arms of koda and Heritage shoulders (heavy) skins have been crazy enlarged! which is totally ruining my look. instead of looking high and tight, it looks loose and saggy. they are now also clipping into the chest piece. This is a game of aesthetics, and you have now ruined what looked aesthetically pleasing to me.

the top pic is from pre 02.18.14
the bottom pic from log in screen today just moments ago

resolve this issue immediately

they do look better on Charr now.. but still the left shoulder is somehow much bigger now compared to right shoulder on Charr..
But its MUCH better compared to before..

But nvm.. Charr heavy only have like 2 maby 3 good looking shoulders and that’s it, human take it all.

seriously, i don’t want this to be burried!

hello there, ive also replied to another thread complaining about this problem. I suggest we get all those threads merged together to one “kodan shoulders got kittened up somehow” thread. :/

This needs to be taken seriously, my aesthetic character fantasies are ruined. kodan shoulder thread merge!

As stated in other threads already, somehow the heavy kodan shoulders were changed in a way that ruined their whole look. my attachment should be selfexplanatory. revert pls anet. :/

I don’t know why my thread was merged into this one. The problem isn’t just the shoulders and it isn’t just resizing. The whole Kodan Heavy Armor set was totally f’ed with. It was repositioned and resized by mistake, and despite the weird guy somewhere above me, it looks absolutely horrible on all races. Please fix this, Anet.

they fixed it for charr, give charr a armor set also :-) got tired of tier 3..

Aye my thread was merged also.

In a game where looking great is the only way to set yourself apart, I have taken a lot of time gathering armor pieces to form a look that I really do love. This new change hit me right in the feels because i have used these shoulders since the launch of the game. I truly do hope Anet fixes this sometime soon

Please fix those shoulders.

I love the fact that now they look more “solid” since pre-patch HoTW shoulders were suffering some deforming issue every time the character moved his arms. Still, they now look even more weird than before, my Guardian’s aestethics are completely f***ed, it’s not the same perfect look anymore.

Please revert back the change or find some other way to fix this because now those shoulders look really, really weird.

Btw, I also noticed that you changed the whole armor (especially chest and boots) and I really like how all the pieces look now, I really want to say the same thing about the shoulders, please do something!

What the hell is your problem? They didn’t fix anything. They bugged the armor unintentionally and they need to revert it back. It looks horrible.

This isn’t “fixed”. It was never even broken.

This is how it was before they bugged it and the way it should have stayed.

Looking back at the armor on humans it looks like only the shoulders were bugged. On charr the whole thing was bugged. So I guess I can expect them to fix it in a couple of years.

stillnot fixed FIX IT ANET I DON`T WANT OVERLY BOATED SHOULDERS im notplaying WoW dang it

This thread cannot die……

Stupid bug, prolly caused by the introduction of the new armor. My friends and I believe that they used the HotW armor mesh to make the heavy armor and probably made the changes to the actual armor by mistake. Idk tho, we should at least get a response soon. Keep bugging anet and sending in bug reports. There’s a few threads and posts on this topic now. Hopefully quaggan related items won’t get priority over this.

Aah your talking about the coat, yes thats kittened indeed.
about the shoulder, they made it a solid static size now.. So that does fits much better on charr, because before the shoulder get some weird shapes.

About the left shoulders clipping in armor is something i made a topic about also. Because all shoulders on charr and norn have this bug where the left shoulder sits lower and closer to the head.

that problem is since day 1 and still not fixed for all shoulders om charr and norn.

i saw a fully power structure norn with it. it look even more horrid then before. and kitten thats not the way to do. you do not fix somethign by kittenign up on another place. human shoulder are kittened now and if they don´t fix it i need to find a new armor and buy kittening transmorph stones.

If they don’t fix it I need to find a new game…

I’m not trying to be a d**k but Anets been treating charr like sh** since release and for them to carelessly break charr even more is making me so sick inside. Even after the year of complaints about tail clipping they still go out and release the garbage known as zodiac armor. There is no hope.

I have the same feeling.. Everytime a new armor hits gw2 i wonder if it fits for charr.. But ofc always clipping problems or weird shaping/stretching

There are more humans so they just ignore charr, like charr issnt part of the game

I was told to fill out an in game bug report by a Dev, to bump the issue. So just passing that info along, in the hopes we can get a lot of attention to this.

I posted this in the Zodiac armor bug section, but maybe it is related to this issue:

I want to report the following issue:

My character: Male Norn (Height: tallest) Guardian
Zodiac Armor: Heavy

When I run as my male Norn guardian with my hammer drawn, the shoulder parts of the heavy Zodiac Armor move a lot. I understand there has to be some movement on the character model to simulate a running animation, but only with the hammer, the shoulders move around too much. It is as if the shoulder parts are almost falling off.

When my male Norn guardian is running with a greatsword, there is no problem with the shoulder parts.

This is just to let you know anet, and I look forward to the patch when the hammer running animation on the heavy Zodiac armor shoulder parts are fixed.

Overall, I really like the Zodiac themed armors!

It is not only the Shoulders. It is half the Armor.
ahem

Honor of the Waves Dungeon Armor (heavy)

-Shoulders:
Angle and size changed, as well as some weird outlining outstanding rim added.
-Chest:
The most upper part of the cloth was taken up a layer, it now covers beards and looks like a ruff.
- Gloves:
Size changed (hurrdurr biggerisbetter.. NO)

And that is only what i saw at a glance. If someone wants to do a full comparison via screenshots be my guest.
Now to hope this is fixed faster than in a certain other big mmo..
ah the memories of mocking orcs for more than half a year because they stole some childrens shoulder armor.

edit:

-The gloves get much more details, I think they look much better now

-Chest got some minor changes, not much but i like them both

-Pants did changed something.. not sure what but it looks nice

-Shoulders:
> Before the shoulders didn’t have a fixed/static size, and its model is for human, so this turns to be good on them and all human models (norn etc) except if you move you arm due to walking you would see the shoulders also changed to fit the arms, this issnt realistic because you would see the shoulder get some weird shapes..

Problem is every shoulder that doesn’t have a fixed and static size looks like crap on charr because there model is much different.

Now they made a fixed and static size shoulder so this is a good thing! because now your shoulders are always the same shape even when walking etc..
And charr benefit from this also
(they should do this to more shoulders)

But they do have to check on its result because they are indeed to big on humans.

For Norn and charr they have to do something about the placement of ALL shoulders.
Because static shoulders on them (most on charr) issnt fit well because the left size is always placed much lower compared to the right side. ofc people say this is because the norn and charr doesn’t stand perfect still, that’s right but on allot of shoulders this is way out of shape..

Some examples:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-February-18-2014/first#post3667410

…the problem continues.

male sylvaris have had that exact same problem since freaking launch, and they have yet to fix it. it single handedly made me give up on kodan armor, one of my favorite armors in the game.

it affects shoulders, gloves, and pants, on a ridiculous amount of armor sets, kodan being the notable one.

still rboken don´t care for charr atm. charrs palyers get a charr cultural for now. if fixing your issue means making new ones for others its not worth it. i want my normal hotw shoulder back. if you ahve to static the should then jsut on charrs not everyone kitten

I agree. If the change was intentional (and the intention was to make the shoulders look better on Charr) then they could’ve done something to make the change only apply to Charrs at least. Even so I think we deserve a reply from Anet to clarify.

I’m not sure it was an intentional “fix”, simply because it is not the first time I had this. Up until now it went away somehow, but this time it seems persistent. The problem seems to be the modell: if you look closely, you can see the modell is now the same as the “phalanx”-heavy armor. I know this because the bug happened only if I used the phalanx shoulders in the past.
So either they changed the modell now or they screwed the very same thing up for everybody.

At least I’m no longer alone…

For what it’s worth, I noticed that Honor of the Waves boots were affected by the change in a significant way; not as “bad” as shoulders perhaps, but the size increase is quite noticeable. I’m posting a comparison.

I would like to know if the change was intentional or not, and if we should expect to see it reverted or not.

WoW! WHAT?

First: heavy armor Charr players ONLY have cultural that fits well.. and even cultural gets some weird clipping/shaping problems.

Second: every armor set is made on human model and also humans get there cutural armor also.. and you dont care about Charr? lol very hard to say…

You must be joking if you think Charr players like to use Tier 3 from start of this game since…. well ever i think.

Where humans alsways get so much choice about armor and some only have very MINOR clipping problems where as a charr player i dont even bother anymore because we have so many..

I agree they should make them nice for both, but saying i dont care about Charr because they have cultural (and nothing more) is very bad

Nick, this is a thread about Honor of the waves armor. Go make a new thread about the Charr issues, no one wants to argue with you about Charr, we are just trying to get this change reverted.

is this only noticeable on humans and charrs? Jjst wondering if I should check my other races. I didn’t see anyone complaining about say… asuran heavy. Though I do have a charr war, I should double check her. Also, is this only heavy sets or is med and light getting funny scales? I didn’t notice anything wrong with my human nerco shoulders, so just wondering.

My asuran lvl 25 paladin has thoose shoulders aswell. It does have weird corners in the lower part, but other than that looks like always.
