GWF Sword Not Aligned

edited January 2014 in Bug Reports (PC)
Mod 2 introduced some wild new weapon models for all classes, and the GWF weapons look particularly outrageous.

However, the handle and head are still horribly misaligned, which looks a bit odd for sword-shaped weapons, but utterly crazy for things shaped like hammers. Here is People's Exhibit A, "Greatsword Of The Dread Legion", a set weapon that drops in VT. Don't you think it should look a little less... floaty?

Behold:

    I've been bringing this up constantly...I have two GWFs: one human male and one halfling male. I run into this graphical issue with my human male, but not my halfling. It's driving me insane. The angle of the weapons clipping with legs is one thing...But broken, floaty weapons is just offensive to me. I'd at least like some acknowledgement from the Devs that they're looking at this. So sick of this.

    I now have it on mine also. Looks stupid as heck. My great sword looks like I bent the handle or something.

    That's what happens when you hit things too hard.

    Someone in the most recent preview patch notes at least now got some word of it. I posted in it including this thread and more containing this issue. Hopefully its looked at and can be resolved.

    As Im having this issue now with ALL of my GWF's, before it only had 1 with this issue before module 2 hit. And before midsummer, I had none with the issue.

    Hey guys,

    The Devs are aware of the issue and are looking into it. If you could please supply the names of any weapon which have these broken appearances! :)

    They're all broken. Every single one of them. (Some more than most, specifically axe models). It looks like the hilt of the weapon doesn't align properly with the blade part and is causing it to either clip horribly, or look like it's floating in the air.

    I always make sure to comment on these posts as this has affected my chareacter for a long time. I have been saving my hard earned weapon skins because of his reason. I have stopped paying for transmuting. Its sad this has been present for so long and the shar mask got fixed in like 3 days. It really detracts from emersion in the game when you get a new awesome weapon and as soon as you slot it with an enchant it breaks.

    side note: OP its not recomended to make forum posts directed at the devs/cryptic/pwe/mods. They usually dont last long. It works best to just make a post discussing the strange anomaly.

    Yeah the Rangers Bow strings still being visible after the bow is off the back is majorly annoying too

    My GWF -loves- his axe. I would be very very sad for him if he had to live with what you seem to have there.

    I've gone through a few transmutes.. (It's an Ancient Champ Greatsword, its been some axe I can't remember, the Great Axe of Anger {which I liked the best and wish I'd stuck with,} the Thayan Great Axe, whatever its called, and now the one from this current CTA.) I've fortunately never had this problem.. although the head of my axe does seem to be biting deep into the back of my leg when I stand still.. It didn't do that before I transmuted to this larger CTA axe from Storm the Keep.

    I really feel for you people having to deal with this. I think I saw someone else say that it affected mostly (or only) people with the heavy body type selection. I think that might be so, because my GWF is a toned (I think that is what the selection was called) body type human.

    Just lending the tiny bit of support that I could.

    ADDED: Yes it is, StormDragon, for sure.. and I -do- have that one on my HR. =(

    I'm getting really pissed at this game. THIS GAME SHOULD BE AMAZING. Who in the hell would release a game full of bugs, not to say the fps problems. People **** talk WoW fanboys, but they are right, Blizzard makes the most polished games. And when an isue appears, they will fix it asap.

    Update from Panderus concerning the GWF broken weapons , possible fix on the 13th of Feb if all goes well in testing :D -

    Thank you all for your continued comments on the issue. We have nailed down a possible cause and are working on a global solution as soon as we can reasonably deploy it.

    That said at this point it will not likley make next weeks update on 2/6 due to the scope of the changes, but possibly the week after that if all goes well.
