    Yes, we had that before. Here for example, or here. It has been brought to everyone's attention multiple times, and right now I fear that Port is seriously considering putting the game on the market without fixing the issues we all have with clothing cutting through bodyparts, clothes that show through other clothes in weird and totally unattractive ways, and skin showing through clothes at places where it should not.

    There's a request for a UI polish up at the moment, in order to give press and new players a better first impression of the game upon launch. Seriously, though, do you think they'll be impressed with all these wearables glitches? This gives an incredibly unprofessional first impression of SotA, sadly.

    I'm going to use this thread to post screenshots of issues with wearables. Everyone feel free to add yours.

    I agree totally. This is one of those things that will give a really bad first impression to reviewers and new players alike.

    Would be good to get some sort of response from Port on this though we never seem to, which is a worry !

    @Helvig Ingvildsdottir i think it would help to also post the names of the wearables so the devs can check them (i don't think they can see the item and know the name of it....)

    The new front clasp cloak also doesn't sit on top of the armor on the shoulders. I bugged this on QA and on live but it's being ignored.

    Yeah these really need to be fixed before launch. This is basic stuff here. Perhaps not easy to fix, but basic to the player.

    if this is a problem with missing tech, i.e. the ability to tell the client that leggings can't sort over boots, then there's no point in listing specific examples.

    I have heard that the problem with cloaks is in Unity itself, and they have open support issues with Unity. Since they don't have the expensive "we can do anything we want to the Unity source code" license, they can't fix it themselves. This is not something that they can fix by just poking around for a few hours. Sure, it may look bad, but it doesn't break game play. I think hitching is a much bigger problem.

    I believe it was said in the Release 50 Postmortem, to take pictures of these and post as bugs.

    @Berek : Please move this to the Release 51 Forum. This is still an issue in R51, and has not been responded to. Thank you!

    Done! I think this is a pretty difficult issue to resolve actually, due to the variety of armor sizes, shapes, etc.

    I've given up on wearing cloaks. I use a quiver now. Cloaks are something that could be totally awesome... but they're not. :(

    It is not tremendously difficult... you give an appropriate distance the cloak leans off the character that most armor will not clip through.

    Make it global for all cloaks.. it will solve 80% of the clipping issues.

    You mean like how the Shroud of the Avatar is right now? It makes me look like I'm wearing blimps on my shoulders. It looks awful! They need to find a better solution (like cloth simulation that actually works).
