[Bugged Item] Glass heavy sabatons use the wrong kneepad texture

code65536

Take a look at the kneepads in this picture:


Notice how the texture and color doesn't match that of the sabatons, but instead matches the texture and color of the Argonian bracers that I'm wearing in that picture?

Now with Xivkyn light gloves:


And the ugly pearly white that shows through with Glass medium bracers (the white is the part of the texture that didn't get mapped):


And the best demonstration of the bug; note how the kneepads completely disappear if I just take off my gloves/bracers/gauntlets:


Full album illustrating this bug.

And it's not something on my end. When I asked my friends what my kneepads looked like when they looked at my character, they saw the same changes in appearance when I changed my hand piece, and they saw the kneepads disappear if I unequip the hand piece.

TL;DR: Glass heavy sabatons, instead of using the correct texture for the kneepads, is using the texture of the currently-equipped hand piece (gloves/bracers/gauntlets), and if no hand piece is currently equipped, the kneepads disappear entirely.

@ZOS_GinaBruno any chance this could be looked at? Seems a pity that such a hard-to-obtain style has such a glaring visual bug.

A very odd issue, I would've never noticed this had I not seen your thread.

It reminds me of how they sold a Crown store costume pack with incomplete textures;

Non-costume head-piece;

It seems to be a running thing to care little for the appearance of items for a AAA game, never was the case when it was mandatory sub-based but I digress.

Would be great to see this fixed as Glass motif is also available in the Crown store, always makes consumers feel happy paying for products with pieces missing.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Any chance this bug and the screenshots could be passed along to the appropriate team? It should be very easy to reproduce--by simply unequipping the hand slot and observing the kneecaps.
