We have temporarily disabled garden plot nodes in player homesteads and home instances while we address an issue. We will re-enable them as soon as possible. Harvesting collection boxes in player homesteads are not affected by this, and items from garden plots can still be collected from them as usual.

Bug Fixes: Fixed a texture error on the medium human female Vagabond's Hood and Vagabond's Shoulders skins. Fixed a server crash. Fixed an issue that allowed the Bloodstone Boogie emote's sound to overlap.

Hello there! As someone who plays a male Sylvari and loves long, flowing hair, I adore the hair included with the hood! Thank you so much for your hard work!! I pretty much immediately caved and went to get it.

(Also, not sure if this was you or a different person on the team, but the hair having two dye channels is fantastic - especially useful for my Sylvari, for the base color to be closer to his skin color and the accent to be another color. The gradient on the wig is really nice!)

I'd love to see this wig converted into a proper hair for all genders at some point, though that may be a pipe dream. One day my Sylvari will have lovely, flowing locks... but 'til then, thank you again for the hood :)

The two dye channels was indeed me. It was a choice partially driven by wanting to allow for that very thing for sylvari!

the design is A+, as a dude who had long hair in my teens I love it. wish I could still grow my hair like that.

cool to hear from the designers. the cosmetics designs are easily some of if not the best in the industry. hard to switch to other games and miss GW2s skins/cosmetics.

Long hair on dudes is so underrated. At least you can still have long hair in game! Really glad you like it, thank you!

There aren't gendered versions. They all have long hair. Long hair is not inherently feminine.

Wow very cool to hear it straight from the person who designed it. Thanks for the work you do for the game we all love.

My personal nitpick wasn't with the human part of human female, but the female part. I do kinda miss when there were more masculine versions of cosmetics for male characters. Although I do understand that means more hours in autodesk for you.

Just my personal taste from a guy who has no idea what he's talking about. All the best to you.

Thanks! The goal was not to make it feminine, just to have long hair coming out of a hood.

I feel like they've been designing a lot of stuff with only human female characters in mind lately.

Human female was the least of my concerns with this set. I made a special effort to give asura, charr, and sylvari unique versions with their own hair. I started with charr first.

Trim my claws. I don't know how charr do anything with those knives for fingers. They claws too big for they gotdamn paws.

Then probably curl up for a nice nap in the sun using my tail as a pillow :3
