Wonky Greatswords

So... I noticed a while back that the hilts of most (if not all) greatswords are misaligned. And now I can't unsee it. And it's bugging the hell out of me. (Yup - got a bit of an OCD problem. Not that I'm exactly Howard Hughes...) Any chance this'll ever be fixed, d'you reckon? Because it's seriously impacting my ability to enjoy playing a GWF. Which is irritating, because it's otherwise my favorite class.

    Just be thankful your not a Dwarf... wearing a helm! :-) But yeah, the swords look bugs me too, that and the fact that there is no sheath. Then again, there is so much bad cropping going on in most models outfits and items, I wouldn't think any of it will be fixed.

    I dearly hope you're wrong about that. I've learned to deal with a certain amount of clipping (I've yet to play an MMO that didn't experience it to a greater or lesser degree; good collision detection for as many players as can be on screen at once would cripple most PCs), and I think a scabbard would look equally, if not MORE silly (how exactly would you draw a sword that big anyway?).

    But the broken weapons are a genuine problem. And it doesn't even look like a difficult one to fix from where I'm sitting; it appears to be a simple boning issue. Though I could be wrong; quite why a greatsword would need to be modeled with multiple bones to begin with does somewhat baffle me...

    (Okay, I can think of a couple of reasons - mostly to do with hit boxes and, ironically enough, collision. But it's still a comparatively easy fix if that's the case.)

    If you think that's bad, then never ever transmute your sword into a Turmian Great Hammer:

    Ironically, I did this transmute as I was tired of the normal swords clipping with the ground when on the character's back. Either way just looks bad- clumsy and amateurish.

    From what I read in another thread, apparently the introduction of the last module broke the look of some greatswords that previously looked fine. With any luck, if they look into those complaints, they may find the reason for this in general and the look of these weapons will be at least somewhat fixed.

    Ye gods... that's horrific. I'm DEFINITELY not seeing a hammer in my immediate future...
