    Armor Clipping

    So.



    /discuss.

    Generally I don't get upset or annoyed over MINOR armor clipping. But this really does pass a significant line.

    Could there be anything done to mitigate this, especially on larger races such as Roegs?

    Probably not, depends on what 2.0's graphical engine is like. Clipping is natural in pretty much all games (specially MMOs) of this generation even more so than usual, but it is pretty bad in this game atm.

    object clipping only became an issue after they turned model clipping off.

    This is true, all because people were too much of a crybaby for having to walk around people or mobs.

    It would be tough to fully fix, because it would effectively need a different model for the hood to go over the shield, if the hood was up it would be alot better.

    the fix is very simple but it requires turning model clipping back on. i'm willing to bet the SE T&D Computers still have it on. hence why they didn't catch it before it was rolled out.

    besides they broke several things when they turned clipping off. the Elven Race has Belt & weapon placement issues, the High Landers have lower Robe and Hand gear issues, the Midlander is generally safe as is the mi'qoute do to there smaller builds the issue is more gear specific for them.

    also physics on certain older pieces and models behave erratically with it turned on.

    Why put that giant hood on WHM AF knowing things would clip with it, why is the hood either not there at all or worn over the head which would look much better. It's like they don't even care what it looks like. That just looks a mess. Considering how high quality character models and the the amour actually is, this just spoils it and makes it look cheap.
