Yeah. Capes themselves in GW1 would literally pass right through the back and out the front of your character often when moving around and then stopping or doing the 180 turn. Those thing went everywhere. Very little weight to them.
Clipping is certainly an issue for every video game. In the past they've gone back and fixed clipping for armor/weapons that people have reported if an artist had some extra time. Thing is with GW2 they have 5 races and 2 sexes each. Each race/sex has their own animations, combine that with any number of possible combinations of different armor and weapons that it would be damn near impossible to spot every single clipping issue. The only way to solve the issue is to use a physics based system for all armor/weapons but that just puts extra strain on the engine to ensure nothing clips and I don't think that's worth it personally. Best thing to do is bug report the clipping in-game and on the forums, stuff has continued to be fixed over time.
Ah, I missed the new OT. So I haven't posted in a while because a few days ago I left for Jamaica. Visiting family and such. Todays's my birthday too. I'll see you all when I get back two Fridays from now.
I do regret not grinding out the meta achievement or using a guide a little. I'll get it if it lasts for the whole month and not two weeks. Here's hoping.

I saw this on a site before I left. I'm amazed this even go fixed so soon.
Happy birthday KniveSmith! 
I would have to see the actual textures with armor dye, but I kind of like this. Watch it turn out to be one specific new NPC's armor, or something.

yeah i've reported my heavy cof shoulders clipping directly through my face ever since i got them back in like november.
you would think that in a game that is focused not on stats but rather on looks the artists would pay particular attention to visually jarring issues like clipping. sadly this is not the case. there is some minor unavoidable stuff like hair interacting with sheathed weapons, that's not a big deal. two pieces of armor from different sets interacting weirdly with each other is not too bad either, that stuff happens.
but look at this, this kind of clipping makes me wonder whether they do any testing at all to see if animations cause any visual oddities. this isn't some unusual armor/gear combination causing a rare or niche situation. it's simply heavy cof shoulders clipping through my face.
i am still holding out for some system where your hair is shown if you have a helmet on but maybe i am just being naive.
Yeah, the whole massive spikes on shoulders thing is stupid.
That's why I said that about the Set C item datamined earlier. The spikes end inches from the head with the arm at the side. There's no way they won't go right through your head during animations.

Supposedly you got a kite if you bought gems between April and June.
Pretty sure I did but no kite. Maybe I didn't
Try a relog? Or maybe it's just going out in waves like the other free thing people got for buying gems.
It's an inventory item like a pet but it does remove your weapon abilities since your character actually holds it with both hands.

The kites were a decent touch. I was hoping it was more like a mini.
2016, our quaggans are gonna throw down.

Oh I see you like my quaggan. It IS the best college football quaggan on GAF.
How's Buffalo?

Behind that quaggan should be a blue one with orange accents running a Statue of Liberty
Buffalo is hot, and humid. Fortunately I spent like 15 hours inside today. The sushi was really good, though.

Btw, have I mentioned how wolverines are my favorite animal? EVER. So vicious and dominant. ;P
Lucky. Sushi is limited here in okie-ville.
On topic, had my first encounter with the Lyssa and Dwayna tonight. Fun times
WHERE IS MY FREE KITE
Pretty sure they're being handed out for May and June purchases. That's clearly April.
They'll be in the gem store soon, I believe.
People's letters said April 1st thru June 30th.

As the 3 above me stated, it was April through the end of June. We bought our first gems in June and we both got ours.

It took me 3 zone changes to get mine. I got mine shortly after you said you got yours. Time is very well a factor.

Man I want to get back into these shenanigans so bad. Just 5 more days. I should try and log in to see if I got my kite.
edit: Dang Jira, early update...
There are a few holy shits in there, but um:
Evon:
!?
Kiel:
?!?!
wtf I want both of those!!!
the fall of abbadon is undoubtedly epic... and we have no idea what exactly occurred to turn the reactor into the wasteland it is now...
Both candidates are pledging a rotating mini-game schedule, haha kos
Kanik apparently lives in the future, that's cool
So two new PvP activities (one is possibly the spiritual successor to the hunger royale??), a firefight mode with the Aetherblade weapons as rewards, and the election, which is sort of blown wide open with the new fractals... I still want my cheaper waypoints for a month, but damn...
edit: Initial reading looks like a lot of support has swung to Evon due to that Fractal. Dang!
