4th anniversary back pieces
Yeah… They need to fix this issue with back items. Asura have the same problem with a myriad number of back items
I make PvP & WvW videos
Sadly it’s been like that since the start so I don’t think they’ll fix it now.
That’s more a problem with back items in general on certain bodies than these particular back items. The back item placement seems to be based on the largest body type, so if you pick a slimmer body they’ll often float to varying degrees. Depends somewhat on the back item itself as well, as some are larger than others or have parts that sit partially into the character (on the largest) which makes them seem more connected on smaller bodies.
Its definitely most noticeable on Charr, due to the hunched back and the fact that they seem to have more variance in body size than other races.
Anybody else think that the Black Citadel Engine (one of the new 4th birthday achievement backpacks) doesn’t look very good on Charr? Presumably this should be the race it is “designed” for, but it looks very small on them and just kinda hovers on the round part of your back.
Yeah, when I looked at my friend’s backpack I told him the same. Looks like some kind of mechanical leech to me.
This happens with various backpacks, which is kittened since some have been out for a while now and they’ve made 0 efforts of fixing this horrendous bug (Karka back piece for example). Same thing happens with most, if not all, gliders on Asuras.
It is clear Anet did not spend much effort on it. It looks like it was supposed to be a reward for the Ex Machina collection anyway.
