Guild Wars 2

I’m going to choose Hellfire set… I’m I to expect the same results with the Juggernaut effect with them as well?

Basically, take a weapon with a spherical element in it, in my case it was The Juggernaut and The Moot. When stowed the spherical elements are perfectly spherical, but when you wield it it turns them egg shaped… Tried this on another race its spherical in both states.

I noticed this while trying to decide if i wanted to make The Moot as the next legendary after The Juggernaut. While I did notice ‘something weird’ going on with my Juggernaut between stowed and wielded for a very long time, I didn’t pursue it until I noticed that for the Moot the distortion was very obvious since its a disco ball. I forgot to try it with more obviously round objects like a shield but I’ll try it when i get home from work ^^:

Anyone else noticing this? I’m pretty sure this has something to do with the way our tiny stowed weapons grow when wielded and is in the math of that scaling.

I agree more love for hammers, and thanks for the Dev response.

One thing I’ve noticed is The Juggernaut, the Legendary hammer itself doesn’t quite have all the traits of a “hammer”. I don’t really notice a flat impact surface. It looks almost like a hammer/staff hybrid. I’d also imagine that this thing would be HUGE considering its name. All the other aspects of it as far as detail and effects are great and I’m curious to see what other tweaks it would get considering other Legendaries have gotten visual upgrades periodically.

Currently my skin of choice until i finish The Juggernaut is the Peacemaker’s Hammer (Asuran Cultural T3). Its big w/ nice glowy effects.

I also have to touch on the stowing of weapons, especially hammers, on Asuras and how dramatically they shrink when stowed and sit low on the back. I would LOVE if this got addressed or even a mention that its being looked into. Sorry if I went off on a tangent.

I’ve been trying to get some sceenshots and kept forgetting to do it. So many other things to do in the game! Anyways, here are 2 screens illustrating the different glow intensities between heavy and medium. I’m the one on the right. I realize that he is full T3 heavy and I’m only wearing gloves and boots, but evaluate it based on glow intensity not quantity of glowing objects. You can barely make out a faint glow on my glove gems while the gems on heavy are significantly brighter. ANet, can we change this so medium gems behave the same way? Glow intensity is a must, being able to change the color like the other 2 armors would be a plus.

Modifications to Medium T3 would be great. +1 for the techno-gauntlet. I’d also love a floating and glowing gem or disk like Heavy and Light have. The size of the glowing objects in Medium are considerably smaller than Heavy or Light. Last night I used a Total Makeover Kit and went max size thinking it might help enough to pacify me. It looked like it helped slightly, but not enough to be on par with Heavy or Light armor of course.

On a side note, instant baldness from the head piece is also a major turn off. This should be addressed considering this piece seems to be the main feature of Medium Armor tech. I’m not a major fan of them, but I could see myself growing to like them if I had my hair. Currently, turning bald with them is an instant NO :p

After previewing and buying the Prototype Tier 3 Gloves and Boots, I noticed that the glowing gems don’t glow as bright or as consistently when in normal gameplay. When I’m in my hero window or in a preview window they glow nice and bright. In normal gameplay when I go into some areas it glows a faint light blue color and most of the time it doesn’t seem to glow at all. When I am in some shadowed areas it glows, in others it doesn’t.

Also, I feel a little disappointed because it looks like you can change the color of Heavy or Light T3 armor glow effects but Medium stays the same no matter what dye you use and doesn’t seem to glow as bright as some of the screenshots I have seen of the other armor types.

Anyways, just posting some observations. Has anyone also run into this? ANet can we get some love for Medum Armor? ^^;
