Guild Wars 2

Cosmetics has always been an improtant aspect of the game for me, and the ANET clearly gives a large amount of importance to it (legendaries). But the fact that only my currently equipped weapon set shows on my character does ruin the feeling for me a bit. And that is one of the reasons why i’m not going for a legendary, since I’m mainly using builds that heavily rely on weapon swapping. My question/suggestion is to ANET that would it be very hard to make both of your weapon sets be visible on your character, where when you’re fighting with one of your weapons the other on would be on your side/back sheated? I guess the other players don’t really care about it, but for me it’s a great deal and i would be very happy if ANET made it happen

If it’s optional, AND it doesn’t cause clipping, I’d be ok with this addition.

I don’t know how I feel about this because my necro runs staff and scepter/dagger and if I had scepter/dagger equipped it would muck up the beautiful karka shell

It would probably cause clipping problems. If you look at two handed weapons on your character from the side they float a bit above the back of the character. From my understanding the reason for this is that it reduces clipping from the back of the character. So if you had two weapons on the back of your character, , say greatsword and staff on Mesmer or rifle and greatsword on Warrior, one would have to float even further to avoid it clipping with the other weapon and back of the character. Some weapons already do clip with armor for example the bottom part of a longbow on medium (see trench coat) armor.

I kinda like the idea, but again, only if it was an option, the way you show your helm or something, and only if it was a 2h and 1h combo. For example, a warrior using a hammer and a greatsword would not be able to do it, but a great sword and a 1h sword + shield combo would be allowed. They may have to adjust shields so they stick out a little more off the back than swords to prevent a bit of clipping though.

I would personally love some plain weapon… A purely white blade with slight glowing effect and a purely black black with slight black aura would be awesome.
