Armour Malfunctions (Texture Bugs)

A giant thankyou to Anet for fixing the Krytan flip top ranger issue. However :P

My ranger masks, courtesy of the latest updates.

Archer's, Tamer's, Krytan. Traveller's mask seems unaffected.



edit: This only occurs when wearing the Krytan gloves.

I guess no one's noticed that the 1.5k Luxon armor set's gloves do not wrap around weapons.

I guess no one's noticed that the 1.5k Luxon armor set's gloves do not wrap around weapons. Or has that been fixed?

its starting to annoy me cause it looks like my char is floating when she has no shadow
i currently only have this armor so cant test with other sets so dont know if its armor on a general shadowbug on all armors

With armor on , glitchy shadow



With armor off , normal shadow

Thank you Miss Eisei, I was just about to post about the Necro Luxon 15k shadow too. The other thing about Luxon armors is that it seems to reflect light a bit differently, for instance in Glint's Lair our groups' Luxon armors were awfully dark (me in the right) and no, they're not dyed black

Phew, I have quite a few... and some of these have been annoying me for a long time now.


This was posted before, but it's still a problem. The female mesmer FoW skirt clips very badly when zoomed out.


Female mes FoW also has some poor textures. The stockings are blurred and jagged looking, and the seams at the knee don't match up.


Here's a closeup of the stockings. There is also a strange spotted look to the skin above the stockings.


Ugly crease on the 15k Noble attire, only shows when zooming out.


This might not be a glitch, but some of the mes armors clip through when she's sitting ...and looks pretty bad.


Hair clipping through the collar on 15k Virtuoso.


My mes' hair clips through the earring on 15k virtuoso, but it isn't a problem with other mes armors.


Lace on 1.5k Kurzick armor clips through my ranger's hands.


The odd tan area used to be a hole in the armor and seems like it was fixed, by filling the hole with this weird tan spot. Still needs a bit of fixing up.


Not really a huge issue, but the right strap clips through her skin and that black fill to the strap looks a bit odd. Kinda hard to see in the screenshot, sorry.


Clipping on 15k aero skirt.


The gradient on the stockings of 15k aero skirt looks a bit odd, doesn't blend well.


This one drives me nuts. Rotating around my ele's head I can see two dots on the edge of some texture for her hair. I think it's on the butterfly part.


It's a long list but I have to say thanks to Anet for fixing a lot of glitches that were bothering me. My mes' masks didn't used to line up on her face properly and her nose used to poke though but those were fixed!

Has anet fixed all this yet?

My most hated glitch...multiple emails and seven months later and still no fix....come on Anet!


Can you spot what is wrong with this picture? Female Knights chest piece+platemail leggings.

Most of these "glitches" are unhappy deformations of the charater's mesh.
There is no "fix" for it since Anet would have to make meshdeformtions (or hide part of the mesh) for each charactermodel in combination with each piece of armor.
I'm sorry to say, but they won't bother. If you've worked with 3d modelling software, you'd know why.
I also see a few graphics card problems, but those should be fixed with some tweaking.

Another thing on the armor: Most armor was made as "a set" thus all the pieces blend together. This means that if you mix some pieces, the will most likely not blend together flawlessly. As some pieces are like pieces in the puzzle that needs completing - and thus hinting at the adjecent armor piece, be it with lines, shadows, or even part of the skin in another colour.

Hope this helps.

Well the 15k platemail cuirass is messed up. It was fine before this month. Not sure exactly when it changed.

This is a picture from before, and on the right side one just a few minutes ago.



As you can see, no necklace on the right.

I hope that Anet doesn't dismiss this because of Nightfall since Frostbound chest + FoW is one of my favorite mixes.

Not sure if this was caused by the "particle" bugs that happened around the Nightfall PvE event. I don't see how something like that would change by itself so...

Thanks in advance, Anet.

must have been a pretty heavy necklace to leave such bruises!

Belly piercing - ouch.

Actually, unless Anet decides to only allow high speed internet players with high end system to play, I don't think many of these glitches can be fixed. I believe they are usually caused by too few vertices in the 3d models so that a plane that makes up some of the armor intesects with a plane that is part of the body as both planes try to strecth between vertices. The only way to fix it would be to increase the number of vertices and thereby reduce the sizes of the planes they define. However, increasing vertices creates a huge jump in the necessary processing power and file size. I would much rather put up with the glitches so that more people have access to the game than have perfect graphics and severely limit who can play.
