Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

probably this topic has been discussed before, but I was wondering if it would be possible to add back items to complete the cultural armor sets (and dungeon sets). Even considering the new -great- additions from events, I find the customization of the back items a little redundant: there are just a few options used pretty much by the whole community, regardless of their race or class.

On a side note I wanted to ask if there are plans to make all the stats combinations avaible for the back items aswell.

Good idea.

I also hope they add more variations of t3 armor skins and some t3 weapon skins.

I think for the price of T3 cultural they should offer an actual variety of exotic sets. It’s ridiculous that on top of spending 100+ gold on these sets you have to then acquire transmutation stones one way or another.

T3 cultural should be exotic at least, if not that maybe make them skins so you can apply the stats you want.

I really like the idea of a cultural back item, it should be classified with the weapons instead of armory though. I can’t imagine a back item that would lock out an entire race…except capes! Dern charr!

Love it, and it sidesteps the issue of capes. Everyone wants capes, but the most commonly used reason why we won’t get them is “they won’t work with charrs.” So just make capes the human cultural back slot. Give charr something else like military backpacks, perhaps norn could have animal hide cloaks, asura could have some sort of magical/science gadgets, and sylvari could have some pretty freaky looking overgrowth.

That’s exatly the point. The Southsun “flower” is a good example of what a sylvari cultural back item could be.

Technically, I don’t know if the back item has to be displayed exclusively on the back of the character, otherwise it could be possible to expand it into an actual “trophie” slot which would increase the designs and customization of said item.

For example, I already have an “Ambrosia” focus on my Norn, and I could use a pork’s knuckle as a back item!

+1 Great points here, I hope Anet sees this!

sounds like a great idea tbh
