I plunked down a load of cash for some of the 15k sets of armor, and was disappointed to find some problems with the meshes themselves. It looks like the male warrior Dragon helm has holes in the top that allow you to see inside the empty mesh, and the coat on the male ranger druid vest deforms ridiculously poorly when running.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but I spent a lot of gold for the aesthetics of these items, I would have thought they would at least be free of aesthetic defects. Am I nuts, or is this bugging anyone else?

didnt go for dragons, couldnt say, i guess people are more skeptical once they don the armor, but glads looks great imo for my female warrior

For this reason. I never actually move when I'm wearing ranger armor. I simply teleport from place to place so I don't have to see the deformed animation. If you don't wanna dissapoint yourself any further with the male druids, I'd recommend you never watch your ranger /dance from behind while wearing it. :P oh well. What can one do?

Monk 15k Wanderer's has one-sided textures (Maybe that's the wrong term). When moving, the 8k tats have black gaps that open up into them. They've been like this for months now, and it's noticable enough that I wonder why it's gone unfixed.

Bah, they'll never fix it, they're too busy with factions now! They won't even fix the bloodstained boots, and those are actually supposed to do something practical.

Female Ele Geomancers 15k also has a slight problem - if you die while wearing it, your left leg sticks out from under the skirt. Anet probably has better things to worry about, but it still bothers me slightly. =/

Here's a screenshot to show you what I mean...

Bloodstained boots fixed....supposedly...we've heard it before. Let's hope it is this time.

The icons aren't all that great on the screens when buying armor. While you can look at pictures on the net, I wish there were a "see what I look like with the armor I selected" preview. That way you can select different pieces and then see what you would look like in them before you bought them. You should be able to spin it, zoom in, etc.

That'll be great if it works! My Necro's been holding onto a pair in the hopes that one day they'll do something...

Yeah, if you search this up in the Suggestions forum, this has been suggested many many times. It's a great idea, but I don't know if Anet is willing to add it.

UndeadRoadkill · Mar 10, 2006, 07:09 AM // 07:09

Yeah, it seems like it would be quite a bit of work to implement a new system for armor than the standard merchant. I'd just be happy to trust that the models are competently made.

What a bunch of whiners.

Yeah m8, whiners.

Whining about actual game problems in a game that promises ongoing support and updates, from direct complaints and reading these forums.

This is one of the correct avenues for noteing errors.

Get over your bad self.

I don't even notice these things anymore, as my main char is a Ranger who'se had his feet clipping through the bottom of his Druid's cloak when running for the last....10 months or so.

nirhan shadowmauler · Mar 10, 2006, 08:15 AM // 08:15

one of the reasons ive never bought 15k armor. the only set i wanted looked like shite on a guild mate of mine that bought it. he was pissed and i never bothered.

I'm not even bothered my clipping that much, it's the way that it stretches downwards into little points. It's supposed to be mid-thigh, but somehow it gets as long as your ankles while running and then "morphs" back when you stop.
