I finally saved up enough to get my first full Obsidian armor set, which I intended to get for my Mesmer first. However, both wikis that I am familiar with state there is a bug that causes some strange black squares to appear when running or standing still.

Could someone provide for me screenshots showing both the running and standing bugs in the armor?

Thank you very much in advance!

I'll see what I can do right now.

Update: Here we go. In my case, it's not black squares, it's "holes" in the armor, and it only occurs for me when I'm sufficiently "zoomed out"

Here's one standing up close. No obvious problem:

Zoom the same spot out a little bit, though, and...

And running at the same zoom:

HTH

It's not something that bugs me on my mesmer.. Looks good, just don't zoom too much out^^

Cheers

While in running animation, black squares stick out of the buttocks. While standing, a narrow black line is visible on the right side of the back at about waist level.

Tadaaaaaa.

@Targren: Thank you very much! I don't usually play with that much zoom, so, perhaps I'll go for it...

@Just.nl: If you had read what I had said, you would be aware that I've already read that.

While the quote looks even better posted on a forum than either wiki, my visualization skills are not quite so refined as to conceive where random bugs in the armor may appear. Thanks for the input, though. That ta-da was most impressive!

Happy to help. As you can see, I agreed with you (even though I do often zoom out that far occasionally). It's just too hot to pass up because of some shoddy meshing.
