Please fix dresses!

And to top that off, WoW at release still has a lot more variety of gear sets with unique models, and continued on so for each content patch. Compare the dungeon set to tier 1 raiding, to tier 2 raiding, and even leveling/low level dungeon equips. Now take our Artifact armor and compare it to mythology.

Hell when I was leveling my archer/bard for the first time, I could've sworn I saw at least five different harasses and subligars from LTW/leveling that use the same model. Even their dungeon drops are not safe from this with aetherial equips, and the very scarce amount of unique equips IMO don't really make up for it. The game looks beautiful, but the amount of visual armor selection seems really really limited, to the point I feel that they skipped out on this.

Post limit...

For the record, I do prefer them to pump out quality content over focusing on vanity things such as gear, but even I have to draw the line when weapons/equipments clip themselves or standing poses. It's just made even worse when they go out to say they want to "focus on creating diversity and our highest priority is to continue to introduce new varieties...." or "prioritizing the introduction of equipment in a large variety of designs..." and they have nothing to show for it... well like someone said, that's reflective of what to expect from them when they make statements like this.

You can't really compare WoW gear to FFXIV gear.. WoW characters have about 1/10th the amount of detail that FFXIV characters have, so it takes a LOT longer to create the FFXIV gear. Also, uvmapping was often terrible in WoW, whereas in FFXIV it's generally decent.

That said, the clipping does get a bit out of hand at times.

Contrary to belief, the response we posted was the reply that we received when we brought up this thread. While it is reiterating what was mentioned before, this is the current plan for these types of issues. Should anything change, we'll be sure to let you know.

While I can sort of understand the original response... Well, it would be a lot more understandable if it was just some obscure combinations. But for example:

The WHM robe and boots (AF/AF+1) clip. These are two items *meant* to be worn together.

And as some earlier posters noted, the clipping in general tends to occur with all races with just about any full robe.

A little clipping between different sets? Sure, fine, can't account for all possibilities. But when it's across the board for even items from the same set? It's disappointing to see this written off in a game otherwise so polished.

It seems the simplest thing would be to have the back of the dress go just a bit higher above the foot and we'd be all good; that is unless they're going to put Lalafell in heels anytime soon.

Little unrelated but... Amon boots does give lala's some boots with small heels. So maybe some day? xD

I don't see the harm in hiring one individual to adjust pieces to significantly reduce the # of clipping cases.

Heck, put an intern on the job.

Primarily, I don't get how sheer a # of clipping cases passes through QA.

Gear clipping on itself or sets clipping or hair passing through armpits...

You know the major part of WoW armor was textures painted on top of your char? the actual models for armor were minimal thus production time compared to full mesh armor is massively lower.

Hey everyone,

After speaking with the dev. team further concerning these clipping issues, there are some cases that may be considered bugs.

Put on a skirt and summon Fairy or Primal then look at your hips.

For instances similar to the ones above, we ask that you submit a bug report so the dev. team can take a closer look at these individual cases.

Thanks for all the feedback!

What about quickly yanking out the back of the Spring Dress to fix the clipping?

Can I intern part-time free of charge to fix the clipping in the game?

And I suppose you would like a panties inspector badge to go with it?
