What the hell is Blizzard doing with helmets?

[MarilynMaelstrom]

EDIT: THE FOLLOWING BUGS ARE NOW LIVE. THANKS BLIZZ FOR LISTENING TO OUR FEEDBACK AND BUG REPORTS. /sarcasm

Currently in the beta hundreds of helms are bugged. Blizzard used some kind of automatic program to "fix" some clipping issues and they didn't notice that a lot of appearances are not working as intended.
Some of them have wrong textures, others are poorly positioned, others are way bigger or way smaller. Either way all reports are being ignored.

Here is a partial list with some of the bugged helms, taken from reports on reddit and the official forums:

*Conqueror's Crown
http://i.imgur.com/f1VMlYf.jpg
(In some races it looks totally white)

*Deathmantle Helm
http://i.imgur.com/AgUzHlE.jpg
(Doesn't cover the nape)

*Demon Prince's Ascendant Crown
http://i.imgur.com/T6eo19O.png
(It's way smaller on some races)

*Primal Gladiator's Dragonhide Helm
http://i.imgur.com/3vurZhi.jpg
(It's way smaller)

*Darkfang Mask
http://i.imgur.com/oMe334Q.jpg
(Wrong color)

*Vengeful Gladiator's Felweave Cowl
http://imgur.com/a/05gaz
(Wrong position + clipping)

*Primal Gladiator's Helm
(Instead of covering the eyes it covers the forehead)

*Bloodfang Hood
(The red eyeglows are bigger and sometimes disappear.)

*Judgement Helm
(Way narrow, dwarfs' noses clip through it)

*Helm of Might
(It's way smaller on some races, causes a lot of clipping)

*Conqueror's Kirin Tor Hood
(Doesn't show your character's hair)

*Demonkiller Mask
(Red instead of blue)

*Springrain Headpiece
(The eye particles are different)

*Chieftain's Headdress
(It covers the eyes instead of the forehead)

*Deathmist Mask
(Way narrow, characters's noses clip through it)

*ALL ENGINEERING GOGGLES
(some of them are way biggers, others way smaller, others are above the eyes, etc.)

*ALL EYEPATCHES
(they are too far away and don't cover the eyes)

And the list goes on and on and on...
¿Do you think Blizzard is going to fix it before release? If you want to help, please make a thread on the official forums. Lets get it fixed soon.

Thank you.

I'm sure they're ignoring it.

You can add Scourgelord's helm (dk t10, all colour variants) to that list too. Blood Elf ears poke through them in Legion and they don't do that on live.

[Aucald]

Make sure you cross-post it to the official Legion Bugs forum as well - all this information would be good for the Devs to have on hand.

Can we add the Stupid bug on human females for the Cursed visions of sargeras? It looks like crap its like half way down their nose.

this isn't a legion bug but jesus its awful

The AQ40 warrior helm has no textures in beta, it's completely white

[ImpTaimer]

This is probably partly due to the people in charge of the modeling/animation department are unqualified for their job.

They fail miserably at skeletal attachments and spent all their budget on the stupid facial animations.

They probably changed blanket model value across the board for "new stuff" and it ruined pre-Legion stuff.

[McTurbo]

I am sure that with all the problems they are having with disconnects, zones going world server down, bugged quests, and class abilities broken... your ears sticking out of your helm is just not a high priority right now.

[dacoolist]

MM it's being working on right now, it will be hotfixed for 7.0.3 or IN 7.0.3 - I have the twitter post here somewhere, but Blizzard was working on some stuff, that stuff should be fixed soon.

fucking racist hat.

[dacoolist]

fucking racist hat.

lolo! geesus haha

OT: I'm currently looking through the twitter feed, it's fucking massive, for the reply - but it may take me forever so.. here's the link: https://twitter.com/warcraftdevs?lang=en

Somewhere in there is the reply to someone talking about the exact same thing OP. Hopefully I helped maybe a little (

Pretty sure they said they were doing something with models on Beta to adjust helm sizes a while ago, but I don't remember seeing an update since. This either implies the tweaks are unfinished or something else. Not sure though. I'll try and find the post.

I remember they disabled helms for a bit because they were working on it.

Ironically it was fixed in Legion.

When the beta started everything was working fine. They said they were going to fix some old clipping issues and disabled helmets for a few builds. When they enabled helmets again this problem started.
Since then the only item they fixed is the Gronnstalker's Helmet.

[Arenis]

And here I am thinking they actually fixed the way, way oversized helmets from live. I've been playing with helmets off since WoD, because they look so weird.

[CosmicGuitars]

Well.. I mean..



I'm guessing the fix didn't quite work with every single helmet.

[MarilynMaelstrom]

Build 22217 flagged as release candidate and this is still bugged. Warlords crap all over again.

Well.. I mean..

I'm guessing the fix didn't quite work with every single helmet.

Since they made that post they bugged more helms than they fixed. lol.

[CosmicGuitars]

Since they made that post they bugged more helms than they fixed. lol.

Yeah, it seems to have made things a bit worse in many ways.

[Wewlad]

It's better for human males now. Can't speak about other races although I do prefer that elf ears always show. It's always weird when they're cropped, it's not like they can be folded without excruciating pain and damage.

WOOOOOOW someone must have applied at blizzard art team and got declined... god danm man

also yeah there are a few helms that mess up on HD models in wod so i am glad their fixing them, but yeah each one they fix, another 2 break...

for example on female humans the nemesis helm the chin and nose poke out http://www.wowhead.com/item=16929/ne...hots:id=458337

for example!

Working ass intended. Blood elf ears and eyebrows are the sharpest substances in the universe and will pierce anything.

ANYTHING.
