    It seems like the over inflated bicep issue is fixed for most gear at this point but I've discovered a couple items that still need attention. The Skallic Fending chest piece and (strangely) the arm bands of their own racial gear.



    For comparison here are the arm bands in an official render from around the time of their reveal.



    Not sure what went wrong between then and release but it would be nice if they could get fixed because they look pretty cool when they're not floating several inches away from your arms lol. Thanks!

    It's very strange. The width of the armbands was one of the first things which players noticed were definitely not sitting right with in-game hrothgar. It's such a bizarre change after they worked correctly, and it leads me to think it may even have been done on purpose by part of the developers realizing the rest of the gear was broken (they might have needed to widen the armbands to fit the size of some chestgear sleeves, once they noticed them).
    Unfortunately, I think there's still quite a lot of gear that remains oversized. I think most glove slot items will likely be fixed last due to the sleeve-fitting issue, if they keep making fixes, that is.

    Agreed with all of this. For the most part things seem mostly fixed but the hroth armbands and the Scylla caster/healer gear is definitely still busted. I would love to post pics but am on ps5.

    One of the new PVP outfits has these cool arm sleeves that are so wide on hrothgals it looks like they devy gravity, the arm holes are so big

    This one? I don’t have a better picture since I recently switched off of hrothgar. I am thinking about switching back (damn fantasia addiction)

    I still think the most gear peices are messed up. Been looking through the vast majority of items and they still have over sized sleeves and shoulders. Even the ones listed as fixed befor still look wrong. At this point we just need to get used to it cause square doesn't seem to care about it. For my part I'll just be rocking sleeveless glams.

    Keep in mind that Hrothgal gear will always be oversized to some extent because Hrothgals have thick arms and very broad shoulders. There are definitely pieces that still need to be fixed but many of the complaints I've seen recently seem to be from people who just don't like that Hrothgals have a larger frame, which is fine but that's personal preference, it's not an issue with the race.

    Well I do get that. The Gear should really more resemble the size of a Roedygyn since they have around the same body type. But even Roe's fit the for ' example: Critical Hit A-1 Tour Armlets' better... when in game and next to eachother it doesn't look that big as in the ' try on' feature.
    I asked my friends who are a Roe and Hroth at the moment to stand next to each other and do the Attend emote to see the difference. In game it's not THAT bloated as I looked in my previous picture in the try on menu.


    But if this is around 0.5x bigger then other more poofy stuff will look insane.

    I love Hrothgars, I absolutely love how they look and dont want them to be a miqo'te sized. But I do just want them to fit gear like Roe's

    Always so much this. I play a female hrothgar, and one of my friends played a female roegadyn for a while after Dawntrail was released. Anytime we compared outfits with sleeves/gauntlets, the difference was immediately noticeable. I hope they will eventually have equal proportions.

    Well to each their own but I think little differences are a good thing. Different body shapes should have variety in how gear fits. It's boring for everything to be exactly the same. I like that Hrothgal shoulder pads are enormous for instance, it makes them unique.
