Guild Wars 2

This has been reported every time a major patch came out since Lost Shores, via the in-game bug reporting tool. The issue: medium leggings armor piece for Order of Whispers armor set, when worn by a female human, shows a noticeable “slit” in the stomach area.

For March update, a forum post was added to the list of character arts-related bugs. Please refer to it for details and still-relevant screenshots. This bug still exists at the time of writing.

Race: Human
Sex: Female
Class: Thief

Issue when wearing Whispers Leggings (Order of Whispers medium leg armor), there is a visible gap in the abdominal area, reminiscent to having the stomach torn/slit open, which is quite disturbing to see and a disincentive to use the armor.

Screenshots shown wearing the full set of Order of Whispers medium armor.

If the chest piece is removed, the issue persists.
If, instead, the leg piece is removed, the issue does not seemingly present itself (no slit visible).

Issue also visible in Hero panel, though to a lesser degree since it is zoomed out (less details).

Issue seems to originate since the Lost Shores major patch, and has not been fixed since then.

Hoping to have this fixed once and for all!
Thanks.
