Icebrood Saga -- Charr focus - armor clipping issues fix?

[Xynxycs.6718]

Probably not.

I don't mean to be too negative... Anet are hard at work making a game I love, but this has been bothering people since forever...

 


 

Charr clipping armor appreciation thread anyone? <3

That kind of fix would happen in a Charr focused EXPANSION where the humans would get to wear "Charr themed" armor. Charr would still be SoL Horns and tails are the least of our troubles. Have you seen what happens to armor when a Charr female wears it ?

Unless you mean them using bare-chested male armour skins, I don't know what you mean?

My only Charr lady uses a coat that's split over the behind, causing no clipping with the tail.

It mostly has to do with deformation of armor pieces. Something unavoidable in this game considering the way character customization works, granted but some of those look really bad and would deserve a fix. Just a few examples:

 

First here is seen all over the black citadel. I call it crushed helmet syndrome. ;)

Now another case of CHS on medium armor

Notice the helmet also aggressively clipping into the neck/shoulder area.

 

This next one is mostly fine but notice what happens to the shoulder plate on the female. It's crushed at the top and clips severely into the shoulder ( and impossible to see on that angle but it floats about 6 inches off it )

The mask is also stretched and I had to pick a face where the eyes would actually be inside the holes. ( many male faces also suffer from this on this particular piece )

I am being redundant when saying that both male and females suffer from floating shoulder pad problems but while it's bad on males, it actually turned me off of creating female charr characters.
