It is time the Asuran T3 light armor gets fixed. (Also known as Savant armor.) This is more specifically about the male version as there are way too many visual problems for a set of armor that one gets for the visuals… I recall an attempt at fixing the female version of the armor by giving it the male model. Those with female Asura quickly rose up to request it be changed back to its previous version. All the issues that had shown up on this “new” female model were already readily available on the male version. You have since changed the female version back to its really well modeled “npc” version. (I call it the “npc” version because it is the same or almost similar version to what one can find on Zojja.) It is time that us with male Asura and the T3 armor get a well modeled version of the armor.
All images are attached to this post.
Image 1:
Here is an image that shows the clipping which happens with the legs. As you can see there is clipping with the legs as well as a weird lump on the left (your left) side of the armor right next to the characters right hand. The clipping persists through almost any action whether the legs move or not. It becomes very annoying if you are one who likes to check out that nice armor you just bought for 100g+.
Image 2:
This one might be harder to see but there is a decent sized gap between where the legs and the torso meet. this gap can be seen around the most of the front half of the armor set. It gets smaller and less noticeable as you make your from the characters left hand to right hand.
Image 3:
This last images shows the stretching issues with the shoulders. Not much to be said about this one as it is clearly obvious.
These are problems that need to be amended. The quickest way to do so would be to give the male Asura population access to the female model. However this means that the male chest armor would lose its shoulder pieces. (Shoulder pieces that are tied to the chest armor and not an individual piece like they should be.) The loss of the shoulders is minor considering the fact that they cause quite a bit of visual issues. It is about time this be fixed.
