arms showing through capes? - Guild Wars Forums

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already as search is down at the moment.

The arms on my female characters are showing through the cape when moving. It's not so bad on male toons perhaps since the shoulders are wider. Is this normal or something to do with graphics settings/drivers? Also is it possibly because I'm using the tattered (ie borderless) cape type?

My sin does this so much that I play her without a cape. As far as I know, there are no settings to adjust that will fix it.

I saw my sin doing the same and that began my trend of turning off all my characters capes everywhere.

hmm seems to just be a pain in the assassin *mines female

any male assassins doing this too?...

she runs with her arms back a bit and her elbow goes through cape , it bugs me. Perhaps I shouldn't be so picky.

my female sin and my female warrior seem to be the worst offenders. Their arm placement is very similar. It looks really bad so yeah I guess capes off for now. Sad...hope they fix it at some point.

yeah looks bad

Yeah, my warrior suffers from evil clipping too....

I hope Anet fixes this, stuff like that didn't happen in Prophecies....

I turned my cape off too..hopefully anet will do something, but it's only a minor thing compared to the other things that they are suppose to do >.>

Yes it did, capes have always had clipping issues. Ever had a character use a staff while wearing one?

collision takes a lot of processing power. The more objects that the cape must collide with, the more processing that is going on. It may not seem like much, but every little bit helps.

Paper Fans cut into my thigh and Im bleeding.....Anet plz helps

Main reason I dont use staffs... The foot of the staff sticks trough the back of the cape.
On other clipping notes, female bloodstained boots clip the dress on female Necro Fanatics pants part.

There are a lot of things like that in the game. The mesmer's hose show through on the 15k Cathan Armor too
