Warrior

15k glads vs glacial

http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/0/09/User_Biz_15kglads_glacial_issue.JPG

Seems like there is a small gap on the elbow of (male) warrior wearing 15k gladiators armor and glacial gauntlets. Hardly something noticeable but visible to others as well as self. Biz 16:03, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks like this happens with a few different gloves. Thanks for the report. -Kim Chase 00:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Armor: 15K Dragon Armor Helmet

http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/3375/dragonarmorglitchyp6.jpg

Issue: There are two long gaps in the male Elite Dragon Armor helmet model on top of it, easily seen from a zoomed out above angle.
How to fix: Fill in the gaps in the model.
Additional info: None

This has been reported. Thanks. -Kim Chase 00:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Highlander Woad Issue

There is a little triangular piece of the woad under my character's right ear, as displayed in the picture above. Guildies of mine could also see it. It's not very noticeable from a distance, but it looks bad when zoomed in. Thanks for your time.--Zakek Xek talk 16:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Non-elite Gladiator

Armor: Gladiator

http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/830/bug1uq0.jpg

Issue: Both hands of the warrior are not attached at all to the forearms' protections, you can see-through in the space between. Sometimes they are off-centered too. It's even more obvious when the character is seated or performing an emote.
How to fix: Fill in the gaps in the model.
Additional info: None

Looks like it's that way on the Elite too. Thanks for the report. -Kim Chase 00:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Luxon armor

Female Warrior Luxon Armor: Warrior Luxon armor

Quality Error 1Quality Error 2Shadow Error

Issue: As you can see in the links provided, there seems to be some quality issues on the legs. I have marked in red around the areas that seems to be medium or low quality even though I have my game set to high. In the second link there is also a blue box showing how much the quality changes on the model even in an adjacent rendering triangle. Lastly, there's also a very interesting bug with the shadows on this model. I have provided a full screen image of the shadow of myself. I am running the KSMod to show all models in town at full quality, all shadows are working fine except for mine. The skin seems to be the only part of my character casting a shadow. (i.e. where armor should cast a shadow, there is nothing). I have a full -image, never seen either of these bugs before. No other characters or shadows appear this way.
How to fix: Leggings may have a miscalculation in the texture to polygon mapping thus distorting the quality on parts of the legs. Shadow issue... Har, I don't know that much, but the calculations seem to be skipping the armor.
Additional info: Only this armor does the shadow thing, no other characters. Happens in all towns.

Elite Gladiator

Armor: Warrior Elite Gladiator armor

http://img443.imageshack.us/i/malewarriorelitegladiat.jpg/

Issue: Male's pelvis *ahem* pops through the leggings.
How to fix: Put their thing back where it came from; fix clippings.

Elite Templar (Male)

Armor: Warrior Elite Templar Male Armor

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm200/Kyle_Lokharte/Guild%20Wars%20Elite%20Templar%20Male%20Hip%20Glitch/EliteTemplarMaleWarriorGlitch07.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm200/Kyle_Lokharte/Guild%20Wars%20Elite%20Templar%20Male%20Hip%20Glitch/EliteTemplarMaleWarriorGlitch06.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm200/Kyle_Lokharte/Guild%20Wars%20Elite%20Templar%20Male%20Hip%20Glitch/EliteTemplarMaleWarriorGlitch03.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm200/Kyle_Lokharte/Guild%20Wars%20Elite%20Templar%20Male%20Hip%20Glitch/EliteTemplarMaleWarriorGlitch08.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm200/Kyle_Lokharte/Guild%20Wars%20Elite%20Templar%20Male%20Hip%20Glitch/EliteTemplarMaleWarriorGlitch04.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm200/Kyle_Lokharte/Guild%20Wars%20Elite%20Templar%20Male%20Hip%20Glitch/EliteTemplarMaleWarriorGlitch05.jpg

Issue: The leg portion of the armor appears to be angled awkwardly at the hip, where the upper and lower body armor pieces meet (on the left side of the character). This causes an incredibly ugly appearance on an otherwise beautiful armor. The awkward hip looks terrible while standing still, and juts around in funky manners during some emotes (such as dancing), while running, and during combat.
How to fix: Perhaps adjust the angle that the leg armor meets with body armor at the hip? Tilt it slightly so that it is nearly even as with the other armors? Maybe some fixing to the way the armor attaches itself to the character skeleton? Not sure HOW entirely, just know WHAT needs fixed, sorry.
Additional info: None

Female Ancient armor

Armor: Warrior Ancient armor

Media:User Lilondra Warrior Ancient glitch.jpg

Issue: chest piece has gaps.
How to fix: correct clipping errors
Additional info: appears on female armor.

Ranger

Tinted Spectacles

Armor: Tinted Spectacles

{{{6}}}

Issue: Too low on my ranger's face

How to fix: Raise to cover eyes
Additional info: Compared to the two screenshots on Tinted Spectacles, they ride really low on my ranger's face, only covering his eyes at all when looking from an angle low enough to look up his nostrils.

Monument armor

Armor: Ranger Monument armor

Media:User_Goteki-45_female_ranger_monument_glitch.JPG

Issue: The Geometry of the arms and hands become twisted and bizarre when doing emotes.
How to fix: My guess would be that the model's rigging needs to be fixed, But I haven't done any 3D work so I'm not totally certain.
Additional info: I know the issue affects female rangers, I'm unsure if it affects male rangers as well. The hands become crushed to a point, the arm rotated around, the fingers stretched and splayed. Most easily seen while doing /guitar and /violin, but it is apparent for nearly all emotes.

Highlander Woad

Armor: Highlander Woad

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Image:Highlanderwoad.jpg

Issue: The Highlander Woad doesn't work correct on my rangers face.
How to fix: The blue field right on top of the right white field, should be on the other side.
Additional info: Normally it should work like this Highlander Woad.

Leather Long Coat

Armor: Ranger Leather Long Coat

http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/6365/gw093ls2.png

Issue: The tail of the coat clips through Norn boots while in battle stance
How to fix: Lift up the tail by a bit
Additional info: None

Armor: Ranger Leather Long Coat

http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu130/BlizzardFenrir/RangerLeatherLongCoatBug.png

Issue: The lighting on the inside of the coat is lighter than the outside.
How to fix: Fix the light maps of the texture.
Additional info: It's not just that the inside is lighter than the outside; when facing the light, the inside is darker while looking away from the sun the inside is lighter! The problem probably lies in the light mapping. It might also be the angle, seeing as the angle of the inside is always the opposite of the outside.

In the supplied image, the right picture if facing towards the sun, and the left is facing away.

Asuran armor

Armor: Ranger Asuran armor

Issue: The chest area looks like the flesh is fighting with the clothes, so the skin sort of peeks through.
How to fix: Not sure. :(
Additional info: It seems to be worse if the character is facing towards any light.

I don't see any skin clipping through the armor. Maybe I'm missing something. Could you post a screenshot or describe the issue in detail? -Kim Chase 20:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Norn Armor

Armor: Ranger Norn armor

http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/d/d7/RFemaleNornClip.jpg

Issue: Guild Cape severely clips through the armor right under the shoulder blades
How to fix: Correct clipping errors
Additional info: The severity of the clipping depends on the ranger height: shortest is most severe, while tallest model does not seem to have any

Vabbian Armor

Armor: Ranger Vabbian armor

Issue: Male: The material holding the front most dagger on the pants does not dye properly while the material holding the other daggers changes to the color you dyed the pants.
How to fix: ??
Additional info: None

Monk

Kurzick armor

Armor: Monk Kurzick armor

Issue: During some animations, such as dancing or a select few casting animations, the male monk Kurzick pants create a sort of gap around the knee area.
How to fix: Extend this part of the pants up a bit more to cover it? Or make the pant leg come outward a bit further to cover the leg? It's sort of hard for me to tell which is the issue, the leg clipping through the pant or the pant itself.
Additional info: As far as I am aware it only occurs on the male monk pants, but may possibly also occur on female pants?

Woven armor

Armor: Monk Woven armor

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2548/skirtkj4.jpg

Issue: The female skirt has an issue on the front, It is annoying because it is exactly "there", so it looks like she had "an accident"
How to fix: dunno
Additional info: This issue was not there before, I am not sure when it was introduced

Coran Ironclaw 19:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Labyrinthine armor

Armor: Monk Labyrinthine armor

Image:User Galil labyrinthine-bug.jpg

Issue: The female skirt (at least) has a blinking line on it.
How to fix: Most likely a modeling issue.
Additional info: None

Female Labyrinthine and Dragon arm designs

Armor: Monk Labyrinthine Armor

{{{6}}}

Issue: Basically, when you wear the arm design for either of the aforementioned sets, there are pieces that cut off. These pieces are part of the chest design, though when the chest design isn't worn (or a different chest piece is worn), these small triangles cut off and look ridiculous.
How to fix: Either eliminate the patches that would be joined with the chest piece, or move those pieces to the chest piece itself.
Additional info: I did not test this with any other sets besides the Dragon and Labyrinthine sets. I like mixing and matching armor sets, and as you can see by the images attached, I use only the Arm design from the Labyrinthine Set, and I use the Chest and Leggings from the Elite Saintly.

Different views, and screenie of the Dragon Arm Design:

Ancient armor

Armor: Monk Ancient armor

http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/8/8e/MonkAncientArmorBug.jpg

Issue: The guild cape has severe clipping issues. When standing still, there are gaps at the neckline and the left and right sides of the back (mostly the left side). When moving, a severe gap appears periodically, almost showing half of the back.
How to fix: Maybe make the cape float higher on the armor
Additional info: I haven't tested this on female monks

Monk Elite Kurzick Glitch

Armor: Monk Elite Kurzick Gloves

http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/5/51/Monk_Elite_Kurzick_Armor_Glitch.jpg

Issue: The thumb of the right hand goes trough the gloves

Additional info: None

Monk Elite Canthan armor

Armor: Monk Elite Canthan armor

Media:MonkEliteCanthanPantsClipping.jpg

Issue: Armor art below the knees folds too far in during emotes and movement on both legs
How to fix: Correct clipping errors
Additional info: Same issue occurs on Monk Canthan armor pants, this clipping issue does not affect Female Monks

Primeval armor

Armor: Monk Primeval armor

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/7449/primeval01.jpg

Issue: a glitch on neck and back
How to fix: needs a collar or some kind of neck cloth and clear skin above it
Additional info: it is really unsightly !!!

Necromancer

Elite Cabal armor

Armor: Necromancer Elite Cabal armor

Issue: UV layout for the underlying skin on front and back torso does not match other armors
How to fix: Make UV layout the same as it is for other armors
Additional info: The problem becomes clearly visible when replacing the 'fishnet' skin texture with the regular one. Image: left normal, middle with Cabal chest piece, right with Cabal chest and leg pieces

Issue: There is a huge gap like texture bug in the elbow of the male Elite Profane armor when wearing with Destroyer Gauntlets.
How to fix: Fill in the gaps
Additional info: None.

Obsidian armor

Armor: Necromancer Obsidian armor

You can see them above.

Issue: There is a huge gap in the elbow of the male obsidian armor when wearing with a Glacial Gauntlets.
How to fix: Fill in the gaps
Additional info: As you can see there are similar problems with the Necromancer Elite Profane armor and with the Necromancer Profane armor while wearing them with Glacial Gauntlets.

Fixed in the 1/24/08 update -Kim Chase 01:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Fanatic armor

Armor: Necromancer Fanatic armor

No picture yet, working on it

Issue: In the female version of the armor, the back of the boots appear to slightly clip through the bottom of the skirt when running
How to fix: Raise the line of the skirt a little
Additional info: None

Armor: Necromancer Fanatic armor

[Example image]

Issue: Right shoulder is twisted when standing still, pointing almost directly backwards.
How to fix: Many chiropracter sessions?
Additional info: Not limited to Fanatic Armor or even to necromancer, happens on many female models. Does not happen on the login screen.

Vabbian Leggings (Female)

Armor: Necromancer Vabbian armor

Media: http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/1699/necromancervabbianerrorpr9.png

Issue: The skirt has a little 'belt' which attaches to the chest piece, if you want to use this lovely Vabbian skirt for other armor combinations, you have to put up with a silly little belt which looks odd.
How to fix: Remove the 'belt' above the top of the Vabbian leggings and attach it the chest piece part.
Additional info: Would be very much appreciated by all female necromancers!

Armor: Necromancer Vabbian armor

http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/4/4c/Necromancer_Vabbian_armor_underwater_f.jpg

Issue: The bottom part of the skirt together with most of the shade disapears underwater
How to fix: Add the missing parts
Additional info: None

Monument armor

Armor: Necromancer Monument armor

Image here Erasculio 14:04, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Issue: The armor has a red tint when seen some distance away. The result is that under any dye other than red, it looks somewhat weird unless you are very zoomed in on the character.
How to fix: Remove the red tint?
Additional info: The screenshot below (beware, it's a huge file) shows the tint on one chest piece dyed white. The first is a zoomed in image, in which the tint is invisible. The second one is a zoomed out image, in which the tint is clear (just in case, the third is a copy of the previous image marking some areas where the tint is seen). The fourth image shows how the tint is visible outside the Dye Preview window.

This glitch appears on all parts of the armor when zoomed out, regardless of dye color. Texture quality appears very bad. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.171.196.182 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 7 September 2007 (UTC).

Armor: Necromancer Monument armor

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/5318/textureglitchfy1.jpg

Issue: The armor has an odd red shine, especially when viewing from distance
How to fix: Replace texture or fix the distance view
Additional info: Armor is dyed grey

Armor: Necromancer Monument armor

Issue: Some hair styles clip with the collar on the female monument armor
How to fix: Reduce the collar size and move the collar closer to the neck.
Additional info: Hair clips similarly, but a lesser extent on the Necromancer Elite Kurzick armor.

Gender privilege

Both versions are dyed silver; there is no difference in the male version.

Armor: Necromancer Elite Scar Pattern armor

Issue: The female version can be dyed, yet the male cannot
How to fix: make dye also affects the male version
Additional info: No need to add a bikini to the male version, so that they can also dye two parts of their armor, simply making the pants dyeable would be fine ;)

Elite Necrotic armor

Armor: Necromancer Elite Necrotic armor

{{{6}}}

Issue: As the Tunic hides a part of the head, it overlaps with several headgears: the Scarecrow Mask [1], the Mummy Mask [2], the Mask of the Mo Zing [3] and likely the Dread Mask.
How to fix: Make the Tunic cloaks the Headgears.
Additional info: I've only seen it on a male Necromancer, but I suppose this problem also appears on female Necromancers. As the standard version of this Armor also has a similar shape, i suppose the issue could also appear there. The Scarecrow Mask has also clipping issues without armor on (see picture 1)

Monument Leggings

Armor: Necromancer Monument armor

Image:User Valshia Monument leggings bug.jpg

Issue: The female leggings use a lower-res texture than the rest of the armor, or other prestige armors for that matter. It's a rather noticeable difference in the quality of the pieces.
How to fix: Replace texture with one that matches the rest of the armor.
Additional info: None.

Elite Necrotic Leggings

Armor : Necromancer Elite Necrotic armor

Image 1

Image 2

Issue: Female leggings clip when carrying certain bundle items (Item spells, seeds). They also clip terribly when walking/running while holding the item.
How to fix: Somehow adjust the positioning of the Leggings so that they stay aligned with the legs themselves. It would actually look much better if the whole legging wasn't a solid piece, or if it were shorter like the regular Profane leggings.
Additional info: Not affected by items such as the Repair Kit and Flag on the Nameless Island.

Issue: The Female version of this armor does a weird thing wen your character dies, I have the gloves on my armor and in this image it shows what happens when you die with these gloves on.
How to fix: Reduce the amount of dark space, it is an eyesore.
Additional info: None

I had no idea where to post it, so its probably the best place... please, fix the mesmer crown bug: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10190581

The crown looks fine on a male mesmer for me. This might be a hardware related issue. Can you post any more information? -Kim Chase 01:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Mesmer Elite Sunspear armor

• Issues:

1. When in /sit-mode, dress doesn't flow over legs/shoes as it does for the Mesmer Sunspear armor (see picture for explanation).
2. When dancing, dress seems glued to back of the legs, in contrast to Courtly/Noble.

Eye of the North Gauntlets

← moved to /resolved

I was wondering if the special Eye of the North Gauntlets look on mesmers is intentional? On mesmers the glacial gauntlets, for example, look very weird. They end abruptly at the wrist and look so tiny, it's hard to notice them. I assumed it was done on purpose to avoid clipping issues, but wasn't entirely sure. Here's a lovely picture: http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/538/mesmergauntletof2.jpg

Yes. All mesmer gloves end at the wrist. az :D 16:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Primeval armor

--ChronicinabilitY 06:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Monument armor

In virtually any pose outside of /attention, the female's skirt is 'torn' at the back in a glaring visual error. In addition, the torso does not fully meet at the narrowest portion of the waist, resulting in a 'line' of black dots midway through the body. These dots 'flicker' as the character moves and breathes. Adjusting graphics settings simply changes the smoothness of this line. Image: Monument Armor Glitches

I have the dots as well, so it might be less of a hardware issue there. The skirt does look awkward, even though I suppose it's supposed to be from the Mesmer's stance when standing, with one leg straight and the other bent slightly. I think it could look better,since the FoW and similar armor skirts don't have this issue. Yukiko 07:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Correction: There is some glitching with the Monument skirt. Seeing some when using the /sit emote - the right rear of the skirt is definitely not placed right. Yukiko 05:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Also: There is an issue with Mesmer Monumental Skirt/top clipping. It's where I have circled in red. 『♥LadyTemp♥』 00:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Image:Mesmer_Elite_Elegant_armor_f_gray_back_chest_feet.jpg

Hello there, though old, there is still a clipping issue with the mesmer female elegant armor / performer armor with a special haircut as you can see below. These armors are really nice but i know a few people still frustrated about this issue and it's ruining all the excellent work that has been put in the design of this model... You would make some people happy if you could do something for that issue :-)
Thanks in advance, Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you. Davor Belegnaur 14:41, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Shing Jea armor

My female mesmer has Shing Jea Attire (top coat) and Courtly leggings. There is a triangle shape that 'floats' on the front of the attire, right over the golden brocade trim. This triangle is related - or is actually from - the leggings under it. I noticed the triangle when I changed to Shing Jea Attire from Courtly Attire that was dyed royal blue - thus getting a royal blue triangle over the green Shing Jea( the leggings were dyed royal blue). I dyed the courtly leggings green, and now have a green triangle. When the leggings are removed, the triangle is gone. So, it seems to be related to the leggings. It's like there is a 'hole' in the Shing Jea that lets the leggings show through, but the hole is on the brocade trim and very annoying.

Elite Kurzick armor (female)

Armor: Mesmer Elite Kurzick armor

Media:User Jennalee Mesmer Elite Kurzick armor back clipping.jpg

Issue: The right strap of the dress clips into the shoulder when the character is idle in-game but strangely enough, not in the character select screen.
How to fix: Move the strap out slightly perhaps...

Mesmer Norn armor

Armor: Mesmer Norn armor

Media:User Ladytemp Ms Femme Fatale norn armor glitch.jpg

Issue: The armor has a little `hole` like glitch on the right hand hip
How to fix: Either make the inside hose/hip a little less popped out or make the coat/top a little thicker
Additional info: Happens to all mesmers.. not just mine.

Graphical Leg twitch

Emote: Attention

(None yet)

Issue: I was showing off my armor, and examining the glitch of Monument armor and when I was looking at it while at /attention, i noticed that turning my camera from straight behind my character, to about 1/2way to the side made the left leg suddenly rotate after getting to a certain point, and this rotation happens at several points during a full rotation.
How to fix: Make the leg not rotate
Additional info: I tried this with several armor sets, and several characters. It seems that only (female) mesmers have this issue to my noticing.

Animal Mask (female)

Armor: Mesmer_Animal_Mask

Media:Female Mesmer Animal Mask Clipping.jpg

Issue: The mask clips trough the hair of female mesmers (Factions - hairstyle 1)
How to fix: Maybe hide the clipping part of the mask, or make the hair float a little more to the left.
Additional info: Supposedly happens to a all female mesmers with this hairstyle.

Obsidian Armor (female)

Hello! I know this one is an oldie too...but there are several spots that clip on the mesmer FoW set as well. When dyed lighter colors you can see some small "slits" on the torso...these weren't so bad when I dyed my armor white and later black. The skirt has the same issue as the Monument skirt, where the back has gaps when running or walking. The gaps aren't as visible when the armor is dyed black--and look flesh colored, while dyed any other color the gap looks like a black splatter. Its notated on the bug page for the armor as well. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Mesmer_Obsidian_armor I usually wear my guild cape to cover it. I thought I would post this, since I didn't see it listed. Thank you for your time and help!--*Yasmin Parvaneh* 18:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC) Armor: Mesmer Obsidian armor

Additional info: seen on white female armour

Armor: Elementalist Elite Flameforged armor

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Image:Elementalist_Elite_Flameforged_armor_FemaleArmorBug.jpg

Issue: The lace that is part of the arm pieces and skirt seems to have disappeared
How to fix: Find out what's causing it to not display and fix it
Additional info: This may just happen when the armor is viewed by others whilst still displaying correctly to the owner of the armor. However I know that it did once display correctly in both cases. I've also tried changing detail levels, but that didn't seem to affect it.

Liselle Morrow 16:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I tried various graphics settings on both the wearer and the viewer and never saw this problem. My only guess is that it's hardware related somehow. What kind of graphics card did you see this on? Did the lace used to display correctly and just disappear recently, or has it always looked like this for you? -Kim Chase 20:45, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Elementalist Vabbian armor

Armor: Elementalist Vabbian armor

{{{6}}}

Issue: I find this strange that it never got reported, the middle fold Is out of place making the second left fold overlap unto the first fold of the leg armor, and according to the Anet supplied Vabbian Screen shots it is not supposed to be like this.
How to fix: This just seems to be a overlapping issue where the left armor frames are a bit mixed, that no one tought much about with before and it was never reported properly

Assassin

Canthan mask

These pictures are of the 1k Canthan Assassin mask. I reported this a loooooooong time ago and some other time on GWGuru I think. I'm not sure how many other assassin masks do this, but I did check all the 4 default PvP mask, and it was drastically improved, only slightly noticeable when zoomed in.--Seth Crimsonflare 23:39, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Happens with my luxon mask as well. Seems to be related to that particular head model, not just the mask. Jaxom 21:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Anti-Aliasing Armor Bug

Anti-Aliasing: Anti-Aliasing Armor Bug

http://wiki.guildwars.com/images/c/c5/User_Core_Shadow_1.jpg

Issue: White Flickering Pixels on Most Armor. Seem's to be an issues with newer video cards (1 or 2 years old) (Nvidia, AMD and ATI cards) where with most armor has this constant flickering of white pixels, all over the armor when anti-aliasing is turned on. I have talked to many players in-game and they also have this issue, I've searched the internet to see if there is any way to resolve it but found nothing except for others with the same problem. This only happens in guild wars and not with any other games, and I do have the latest divers and I have tried rolling back to older diver versions but still had the same problem.
How to fix: only way to fix is to turn off Anti-aliasing which I do not want to do, or get armor that doesn't flicker, which has made me waste a lot of money on armor sets I've had to scrap because of this.
Additional info: Happens all the time. I've tried to take some screen shots but it is hard to capture the flickering because it happens every frame all over the armor. I could post more armor sets that have this issue but that would take me a few hours and I think these pictures show enough.

--Core Shadow 22:33, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

1. Please ensure you have fully up to date drivers. 2. Have you tried -repair? It could be a a corrupted .dat. 3. Listing the card(s) affected will surely help. 4. Finally what operation system(s) does this appear on? Dominator Matrix 02:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

*I have reformatted, reset bios and done data repairs, disk checks, reinstalls, updated every driver on my computer, still nothing, I am using windows XP, my video card is a nvidia geforce 9800gt / 4gb of ddr2 ram / p5n sli motherboard / Intel Core2 Duo E6600. I know its not just my video card because I have talked to other players with this same issue and they have different cards (ati, AMD and nvidia) if you look here, there are others who have posted about this issue here http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/ArenaNet_talk:Art_bugs#Eye_of_the_North:_All_Armor_.22Sparkles.22 I have found posts in other forums as well --Core Shadow 03:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

-->After working with ECS we have found that it is indeed a problem with Guild Wars. According to their rep the reasons for the issues are as follows... 1) Geometry calculation is off and the framing is showing without texture 2) Plain old texture bug, because it is perfectly recreatable --Core Shadow 22:15, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Eye of the North: All Armor "Sparkles"

Jora suffers severe white aliasing, whereas Tahlkora has nothing of the sort.

There seems to be some major aliasing issues with ALL EOTN armor, including player armor. Movement of any kind brings out nasty bright white "sparkles" along the rim of the armor. This aliasing gets much worse the farther the viewer gets. Its very difficult to see in this image, but please look closely...

It's very easy to see in-game, just rotate a GW:EN hero and a NF hero in the inventory, or take them out on a run and you will see it clearly. It almost looks as if the wireframe is showing through on all EOTN models, but I don't know for sure. Please take a close look in game, thank you. -Gemini Knight Juno 07:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Many (but not all) armors and NPCs from EotN have issues with white dots appearing around their polygonal edges. This is not related to AA as it is present regardless of the graphical settings. I have tested several machines that show this bug. They vary greatly in system specifications yet all seem to have this issue (nVidia,ATI,AMD). The only examples I can find of bug free configurations are those running VERY old versions of graphical drivers (not much good for those of us with newer hardware). Another Example

Aliasing was just the only way I could describe it. This has bothered me since the release of EOTN, and I'm glad there are others who see it too. Maybe enough reports can get this long standing issue resolved. -Gemini Knight Juno 23:32, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

White dots along edges isn't a GW:EN armor related thing, it seems to be a general GWs bug to do with anti aliasing - I get it with my monk's bare skin along the arms, the fingers of my characters, some weapons, etc even with anti aliasing maxed. It seems to have a chance of occuring with any sharp edge. If a texture seems jagged otherwise, you may have to enable a.a. for transparent textures externally via your graphics card driver for GWs (not a default setting for NVIDIA drivers at least, probably because it takes a lot more processing power) Jennalee 09:20, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

It is definitely related to EOTN armor, as it happens with no other campaign. The only way to 'fix' it is to turn Shader Quality all the way down, but then a lot of textures lose their pop. Tool 311 18:04, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Omg, I am having this problem as well, it is extremely annoying. PLEASE Anet fix this problem.--Core Shadow 15:47, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Common, PLEASE!!! At least say you guys are looking into this!! Everyone I've talked to ingame has this problem... HELP US... ty :( --Core Shadow 14:59, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Its not very easy to fix at all. Try selecting vsync (to limit the FPS to what the monitor can use). Its an heat/electro static issue/<pick a reason>. Not GW only, so either reinstall drivers/check the heat sink/return the card/ignore it. Dominator Matrix 19:58, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Shader Quality Armor Bug

Shader: Shader Armor Bug

Issue: White Flickering Pixels on Most Armor. Seems to be an issues with newer video cards (1 or 2 years old) (Nvidia, AMD and ATI cards) where with most armor has this constant flickering of white pixels, all over the armor when Shader quality is above Low setting. I have talked to many players in-game and they also have this issue, I've searched the internet to see if there is any way to resolve it but found nothing except for others with the same problem. This only happens in guild wars and not with any other games, and I do have the latest divers and I have tried rolling back to older diver versions but still had the same problem.
How to fix: when you turn Shader quality to the low setting makes it have less.
Additional info: Happens all the time.

--Core Shadow 02:51, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

At First I thought this was an Anti-Aliasing Bug but now after doing some testing I believe it actually is a Shader Quality problem. I hope this will help twards getting this problem solved, thx.--Core Shadow 02:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Dye Problems

I'm not really very good at posting these things, but here goes; I recently bought a stormbow and got some glacial gloves, because these are both light blue items, I wanted to dye my armour light blue also. Obviously the choice for light blue would be blue and white. I mixed them together and, although in the inventory screen i have light blue, on the actual game, it just appears as grey, its a completely different color, i have a screen to prove this, thanks, oh if it helps I am a R/Me and I have Canthan armour.

Chaos Glove vanishes

Whenever I see someone wearing chaos gloves and they are near either someone using a Phantasmal Tonic or a Voice of Grenth or Rift Warden, if you stand at the right angle so that the Voice of Grenth/Rift Warden or Phantasmal Tonic user is between the person wearing the chaos gloves and myself, all of the arm area covered by the chaos gloves vanishes, making the person's arms look like half sized stumps. I don't know if this is anything bit at all, i just thought i should report it. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Shadow Blood Dagger (talk).

that's an interesting problem... once one's able to visualize it. do you have any screen shots of the problem? and does it apply to profession- and gender-specific characters? azalea||chat 15:45, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
