Guild Wars 2

This is a majorly requested thing, for the backpacks of kits to be removed from player models, as often they cover up a hard-earned backpiece. We have quaggans, charr, jetpacks, and fractal capacitors being hidden by some rather unseemly bags. Sure, they’re flavorful, but I have a simple suggestion that will satisfy both devs, and players:

If players have their backpack hidden / don’t have one with a skin, it will display the normal kit bag in PvE. If players have the box checked to display, it will show up at all times in PvE instead of kits. Devs have reasoned before that kits are a way of telling opponents in PvP/WvW what the engineer has available – and I’m fine with that. But in PvE, it’s a bit disheartening to see these cool backs always go hidden due to kit usage.

Good point.
Leaving Eng kits up as standard in PvE just discourages Eng players from investing in weapon and backpack skins.

Indeed. Backpacks are becoming the #1 cosmetic item next to legendaries, and engineers can’t use them as well. It pains me everytime my flamethrower covers my current guild logo and future fractal capacitor.

This is 100% correct. Engineer backpacks should have the ‘HIDE’ option just like helmet, shoulders and gloves have.

I hate the kitten hobo-sacks, we need an alternative, either make them bad kitten looking or adapt the dye used. Understandable for the grenades and bombs to have them for PvP purposes, but the rest can be seen from the equips.
