Guild Wars 2

I would appreciate an invite as well

Ah man… I thought they’d bring back the event old costumes. :/

I need to dual wield these pistols for my thief, they look amazing

I want more armor skins from GW1 !

I’d really enjoy my warrior wearing good old Elite gladiator armor once again.

Thanks for the fix to the shoulders Anet, it looks much better this way anyway. Now I feel like playing my asura again

One more screenshot to further show how terrible the weighting on the tier 3 light asura armor on the shoulders since the change to the armor last update.

Simple idle animations distort the visuals completely( also try dancing to witness it in its full glory) , making it look terrible from upclose, and even from a fair distance.

I hope you can fix that soon Anet, and not in six months, because right now it looks terrible.

Race: Asura
Gender: Female
Profession: Elementalist
Armor: Light Tier 3 cultural Asura

Warning: I posted animated gifs to illustrate the problem, please wait for them to load if they don’t show up immediately
(you may click on the gifs also to watch them in higher resolution)

Since the update, the light tier 3 asura changed, and some of these changes made it quite worse visually.

The shoulders, now permanent, have pretty bad weighting, especially the right one. It goes through the arm or neck, and it is generally very annoying to suffer these visual glitches.

The left shoulders also have a weighting problem, albeit not as severe, but it causes a spike in the mesh.

The skirt part now suffers clipping where it had none before, both on the skirt itself, and with boots.

The bags on the back have bad weighting as well, causing one to deform itself while in combat, and the other moving up and down with the asura movement.

Also as a side note, please make the shoulders optional ? Right now your artists have included them in the chest piece instead of making it a separate model, and they cannot be hidden to look like the pre-update model.

Wow… I’m not a fan of the shoulders on my light 3 armor, I can’t even remove them by unchecking them, because, they are now actually part of the chest armor entirely.

Fix this Anet, I should have the choice to show or hide the shoulders on that armor.

I’m a little confused as to what to choose on a purely PvE standpoint. I play mostly dungeons and fractals, and I’m a little sick of using the greatsword. I’d be grateful if someone knowledgeable could answer a few questions.

I currently have a full set of PVT armor, 0/15/30/20/5, and knight jewelry. I have less than 40% crit chance at the moment.

Rune wise, should I go with of the Soldier for the condition removal or Lyssa for the added crit chance ?

And for the hammer, considering I have low Healing Power (325) would it be wiser to choose Magi or go with Knight ?

Is it just me or was the squeeking removed ? Now my warrior only repeats the same one grunt over and over again.

The squeeking wasn’t bothering me, but that repeat grunt certainly is.

Even though there is merit in getting a low level to the rich orichalcum node, the exploit would be using the obviously bugged mining pick, I will remind you that it is a pick very easily obtainable in a lvl 45-55 area, that has no level requirement, and can mine tier6 nodes.

In the end, it is using a bugged item for profit, therein is the exploit. Anet might not ban anyone over this, or they might, but you can be sure that this will be fixed sooner than later.

You know what ? Good.

Anet made it clear the first time that exploiters wouldn’t be tolerated. They were promptly banned en masse the first time with the norn cultural weapon, but unbanned afterwards, and left it a warning.

Now you brought this on yourselves.

Good riddance.

So, when should I expect bans for:
- everybody who ever hit the last seal in fotm with a char skill
- everybody who ever used a mesmer portal in a JP
- every thief who uses stealth in WvWvW
- everybody who picks the rich ori node without killing the karka champ
- everybody who did the back jump in the dredge fractal
- everybody who stood in the safe spot for the first 2 bosses in Arah p3
- everybody who pulled the dredge boss in fotm in the next room
- everybody who ever blinked through a wall/over a hole
Do I have to go on or are you already on the list?

The fact that you do not see the difference in gravity between the exploits you listed and the one being discussed is mind boggling (also, thief stealth LOL?).

Bother messaging back when you can find an exploit that would allow me making ridiculous amounts of gold in mere hours in a risk-free way.

You know what ? Good.

Anet made it clear the first time that exploiters wouldn’t be tolerated. They were promptly banned en masse the first time with the norn cultural weapon, but unbanned afterwards, and left it a warning.

Now you brought this on yourselves.

Good riddance.

Wow, so you spent 112g blindly or something ? You didn’t even preview the armor before buying it ?

It blows my mind, you actually spent a fortune on an armor you don’t like and whine to have it changed… What the hell kind of person does that ?

A small word of thanks to Anet for the new greatsword animations for female norns when auto attacking, I really like it, much more strength in each blow. Much more suitable for norn than the human autoattacks we had before.

Well done !

Could it be possible to have the choice of switching orders when the order’s storyline is ended ?

I’m suggesting this because I finished my personnal story with Vigil but I wish I could switch to Whispers to be able to buy their order’s armor.

There could be a fee involved for switching sides, it would allow player to have access to the other order’s equipement.

Yeah it got censored at release, as well as Orr karma armor, I prefer the old version but Anet won’t it change now, better get used to it.

Even if I don’t win, thank you Lonewolfie, it’s very generous of you.

There seems to be a graphical problem with a certain norn female hairstyle.

When moving, it seems the layer of hair underneath clips through the first layer of hair, it’s quite annoying.

But when running against an object (thus running into place) the hair physics are fine, so I guess the weight of the layer of hair underneath is lighter than the rest. Hopefully this will be fixed.

First Attachment: Running

Second Attachment: Running into place against an object

This post is not a bug with an armor per say, but something that should be modified slightly.

I just bought the Arah boots and the feet are way too small, it looks unproportional to the rest of the body. Please could you enlarge them a little bit, it looks like child size feet at the moment.

Another clipping issue with Tier 3 Human Medium armor I found.

It seems the chest piece from the back suffers severe clipping issues under certain lighting. I noticed it happening at night and into caves.

Here is a gif to show you the problem:

Armor worn on Body 2

There is some clipping issues with the Tier 3 Human Medium armor. It is mostly while idle and most of them are rather distracting, there is also one while running that is quite annoying.

I highlighted the clipping in the red circles in the following screens, I hope you don’t mind the multiple screens, I also model 3d in my spare time in blender, and fixing clipping always took some time, so giving as much information as possible where the issues are located seemed the best idea.

This armor was worn with Body 2.

I hope it will be fixed !

Did TA explorable for the first time today ever. 45 shards.

Completed Arah dungeon for the first time ever today, took more than two hours. 45 shards.

Great feeling when you are the only one with 45 shards and everybody else has 60.

Way to be able read there champ, I’m talking about the bank, not the trading post.

I noticed that I lose 3 copper every day from my deposited money in the bank. Is that normal ? Somekind of fee ?

I mean, I know it’s just three coppers, but I was wondering if that’s normal or somekind of bug.

Thank you

I just did Caudecus Manor with a group of guild members path1, everybody got 60 tokens.

Completed path2 with them as well after path 1, I got 45 tokens and they all got 60.

What the hell, I didn’t even do a dungeon in two days.

I like them, keep them in.

Depth blur simply blurs objects in the distance, not add a huge thick fog. Reloading the area doesn’t change a thing either.

Can someone else which the computer can handle a high LOD comment on if they have the same draw distance as me ? With screens if possible to confirm.

I don’t know if I just never noticed it before or if it was broken in an update recently, but the draw distance seems pretty terrible. My LOD is at Ultra and dropping it to Low doesn’t seem to change anything.

Is it just me ? Was it always there ? Or is it a new problem ?

It actually quite grown on me.

They should refine their day/night cycles as well. There is not dawn or dusk, the transition between night and day is extremely short.

Considering the concept art of the armor shows such a hole in the armor(link to the image posted by Ang), I think it is indeed safe to say the armor was modified/covered at release.

Symmetry might be more attractive in some situations, but certainly not all the time, art would be terrible if that was the case. I disagree it is in this particular case, considering the armor shoulders/arms are highly asymmetrical, which makes it seem chaotic in design, which makes its charm in my opinion. The sudden addition of symmetry in the middle area of those two pieces makes it clash.

Quest is bugged for me as well. The second group of researchers do not follow me after being rescued.

Make it that players under lvl 8 cannot send messages in Map chat.

The amount of gold sellers spam will dwindle quite significantly, but the chat in noob areas will suffer a fair bit.

SuperSpicyCurry.2415:

Seriously!? You’re complaining about a weird claw boob thing? If you want digitalkitten so bad play a med armor human female and get the underboob armor. I’m sick of people complaining about there being too few revealing female armors. There are plenty while the males have significantly less options.

While you are entitled to your opinion on the subject, you should first an foremost read the thread before replying. This thread is about heavy armor, its lack of revealing dungeon armors (ie: prestige armor) and the censorship of one of them.

Ang.2157:

Im pretty sure that is a bug considering the concept art.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/2/23/Heavy_armor_02_concept_art.jpg

I hope it was, but it had that model during the betas, it’s only at release that it was unexplicably censored.

I agree with you Panda. Also, if interested, I made a suggestion yesterday to rollback Heavy Arah armor to its more revealing model as it was during the betas as there is quite the lack of revealing heavy armors at the moment. Support the thread if you wish to see the change.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Change-female-heavy-Arah-armor-back-to-its-beta-state/

Haha lora, fair enough, although my suggestion is simple to change it back to the original version it was during the betas. But I would not disagree with your request, if the female characters can have the choice between practical and skimpy armors, the same choice should apply to those who play male characters, should they want to use these kinds of armor themselves.

Attention: This request was brought on on guildwarsguru but the thread was closed due to the insulting behavior from some users opposed to the idea. If you object to this suggestion, please do so in a respectable manner.

During the betas, numerous people, myself included, went to preview the armors available in the game from the PvP locker. I was quite happy to notice the happy medium between the fully functionnal armors and the skimpy ones. Those that wanted to wear practical armor that covers the whole body entirely had numerous armor choices, as well as those who wanted to display the more revealing armors.

Wheter you prefered one or the other, you had the choice.

At release, a few armors were censored, most notably the heavy arah armor, now some of you might be wondering why, as all there was no censorship for the more revealing light and medium armors.

Why am I focusing on the Arah armor ? Well it’s because there is eight dungeon armors, they are most probably the most time consuming pieces of equipement to obtain, and Guild Wars 2 endgoal is basically to acquire the best looking/most sought out armors. Of these eight, only the Arah armor was skimpy, all the others are in the practical armor category. Those that enjoy this type of armor are rejoyed of course, but those that don’t are left behind.

There are of course, other skimpy heavy armors in the game, but they have no “prestige” like the dungeon armors, as they can either be crafted, or obtained for really cheap on the trading post.

Some might say that the change Anet implemented to the armor is very minor, but as one user mentionned in the guru thread, the change might be small, but it is very noticeable, with the beta armor, your eyes are immediately drawn to the chest piece area, which is the whole point of skimpy armors, to turn your eyes to the partly covered private areas of the female body. With the new version of the armor however, you are not, nothing special catch your attention in comparison to the original.

Beta: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e159/Ashariel/Heavy91.jpg

Release: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e159/Ashariel/gw108.jpg

Of an artistic point of view, it also seems worse, as the armor was highly unsymmetrical, which made its charm, but with the change, it seems more bland, less wild and savage.

On a final note, a lot of people will read this thread and feel this request is trivial and not worth the time, they might even object to having skimpy armors in the game but the fact is, you can’t change it, there is already. You might be annoyed of the impractical nature of skimpy armors in general, but the vast majority of heavy armors in the game covers the entire body, is asking for only one so bad ?

Revealing armors are very popular, suffice to look into a character screenshot thread to notice.

In the end, I just don’t understand the reason for this change, as there is still a lot of skimpy armors/clothing in the game, why change this one in particular ? The only skimpy dungeon heavy armor ?

So here is my request Anet, please revert back to the beta skin to the heavy arah armor.

Thank you.

Addendum: As mentionned in the first lines of the message, if you are opposed to the idea, you are very much free to voice your opinion, but let it be in a civil manner, there is no need for those who like revealing armors and those that dislike them to fling insults to one another.

A single one, to uncensor the dungeon Arah heavy armor for female characters as it was in the beta. Unless of course you had a viable reason for censoring it specifically at release and not the other skimpy armor types, it’s unjust not to offer a long term objective (dungeon armor) to those who like displaying revealing armor on their characters.

I tried buying the free Celebreation Hats on my new characters and I just don’t receive the mail letter.

I must’ve tried 20 times, my purchase history is full of hats but I never received any.
