Guild Wars 2

Hi, as I play the game, I notice there’s an absence of back armor, I have found the guild backpacks from the Guild Armorsmith and the one you receive from your Personal Story. I was wondering if quivers could be a possible addition to back armor, since I noticed whenever a character fires their short/longbow they reach over their shoulder to reload with another arrow from their “invisible” quiver. I think it would be visually pleasing for players to have a quiver as an option for back armor and help rid of the feeling that the arrows are magically popping out of thin air.

The developers wanted to add quivers and capes but there were clipping issues. Hopefully they become available later.

Ah, that’s understandable. Thank you!

There is some armor that has cape like aspects. the Arah heavy exotic set has a sort of cape, as does HOTW heavy set. I too, would like capes because they make you look heroic, so I tend to seek out armor with cape like aspects.

on the topic of back items what do i put in them as an upgrade lol

If you add quivers (I’d love one), you would also have to add sword sheaths for the Greatsword and all sorts of other things…

That would also lead to the addition of “Wings” as well…

And the Shield would really get in the way.

i think a quiver back item makes too much sense not to be in. bows already have a quiver animation, and quivers wouldn’t clip any more than backpacks (or weapons, for that matter) do.

capes, on the other hand, would be kinda stupid, as a lof of chest and shoulder armor are already capes, and those that aren’t are long coats (hello 90% of medium armor). wearing a cape over a coat is just ridiculous.

They better not give people wings. That makes no sense.
