The light top from CoE covers the Glow on the back.
Anybody has other clothes with that issue?
Clothes that cover Glow

That looks pretty bad, uhh, would hate to wear an armor like that! I mean the back is clearly exposed but the glow is still obscured? Have you reported it? I know they haven’t been very quick to fix armor issues, but it never hurts. I haven’t noticed anything like that so far but will check my equipment next time I log into game.
I think you are the only one who knows what i meant with this thread here.
And no i havent reported it, because im also not sure if they would fix it.
Still, i was so glad that i earned that top after farming so hard for it…
well, its a shame to watch my sylvari when its night now
Don’t be afraid to bug these sort of issues. Sometimes they can be fixed, sometimes they’re a part of the armor’s texture and therefore isn’t the same system as the skin texture. In this particular case with the CoE armor, the skin file wasn’t pointing to the correct material. This is fixable, and will be fixed… though I can’t predict in which build it will materialize. My fix today on this doesn’t release next, so please be a bit patient but know the correction is coming. ;}
As for armors like the tier 3 cultural, that has been painted directly onto the armor and will take other means to fix. It means cutting into the armor, fixing the alpha and texture of the armor piece cut, bringing in the skin underneath it and hooking that up to work with re-weighting and checking that it doesn’t introduce new clipping …more than just a re-point. I know this because I’ve seen you guys mention the bug and have fixed it when I was in the file for different bugs.
Of course, not every armor can be adjusted for these requests (or is permitted), but where it can happen I will take a look and do my best to get to it when my schedule priorities allow. I may not always agree a fix is warranted or necessary, but I am watching and listening.
So if you see bugs like this, please list them. There are a lot of moving pieces in this game and it’s hard to have eyes everywhere. Thanks for posting!
