Guild Wars 2

Suggestion: Put the the Eng kit backpacks on a strict diet and don’t stop till they can fit into those attractive backpiece skins that are given out as major event rewards and sold through the gem store.

Engineers spend most of their time in kits with backpacks that look like hobo sacks. The skins for these kits are so large they swamp other backpiece skins. This makes back skins (like the holo wings reward from Dragon Bash) next to worthless for Engs as 90+% of the time it just looks like their hobo sack is leaking.

The problem is the size of the Eng Kit backpacks. Rather than enlarging cosmetic backpieces to cover the Eng kits (which will look odd on other classes) or coding some complex solution specifically for Eng kits, how about simply cutting down the size of the backpacks so they’ll work with cosmetic backpiece skins. Just reducing the thickness of the kit backpacks would let things like the holo wings reward from Dragon Bash work for Engs.

This may not be a full solution, but it would help free Engs from being the hobos of Tyria fashion.

They could just make it so the kits don’t display when you choose to display your backpiece. To be honest though, I’d prefer that this didn’t happen because I LIKE looking like an hobo engineer – when I’m not using a kit I display the starter backpack. Is there an option that would suit both of us?

I am an engineer and I almost never play with the kits. Sometimes I use my bomb or grenade kit but mostly I just use rocket boots, goat head-thing, violet/pink elixir and a turret. Plus the dogs or the last resort turrets

Edit: Not that you care :P So no idea why I wrote that

Just saying…compromise? It’s not exactly lore but some adapting could sort it. I’m pretty sure it’s what Anet tried to do with the Multi-Tool Back item.
