Guild Wars 2

I still like these a lot better than any backpiece that’s been released so far. They have an actual quality to them.
Seems like people here would rather keep their backpieces that don’t match anything at all.

I’m surprised at how many people don’t like the skins. Some of the small ones are really nice.

I really like the bear/backpack one! As a Ranger that would RP nicely!

I don’t find them ugly. They look quite practical and not everything has to be flashy, useless crap that doesn’t fit anywhere. And some of them look realistic. Also some of them remind me of the Skyrim backpack mod.

I like the one made out of skins on (I believe) image 7, the second one. Has an emblem of a bear skin on the cover flap.

There are some other small ones that seem interesting too, but that’s my favorite. Would look great with my old gathering shorts, white sleeveless hoodie and witch’s boots. If I got very plain staff skin to make it look like a walking stick, I’d look like a hiker.

Alas, healthy and appropriate.

I loved just about everyone of them. It’s nice to see some practical looking gear come back into the game. I would definitely try to get as many of these as I could.

And I found them all looking bad. And functionality? On one of the 8 classes these would have a “function”. Yes, I don’t see wizards,knights and ninjas with backpacks.
I much rather have some nice looking capes like they show in many of their artwork or Cabal Online style, but just put these ingame so ppl can roleplay going to school…

I am more surprised at how many backpack they already have available.

I am not a fan of capes, I don’t know why they keep being brought up. A cloak would have some kind of function, at least from Roleplay perspective. I always hid my cape in guild wars 1, just like I do most of my back pieces in Guild Wars 2

These backs skins look like they are intended to be rewards for leveling crafting skills.

From top to bottom: Armorsmith, Artificing, Chef, Huntsmasn, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, Tailoring, Weaponsmith

Don’t see why these couldn’t be in the NA version if they are in the chinese version. Probably coming next time we get a fairly large update. (Not just extra living world content/map updates)

I don’t care too much for the back-pieces themselves but I DO like the idea of something that alters based on progress you’ve made. Something that can either show off something or simply add more options to represent your character (especially for RPers)

I want the frying pans. ;;

Update’s here. No developer post on this? I’d like some clarification on whether or not these will be coming to other players, and I’m sure other people would like it to. Having a new set of craftable items that actually look good will be nice.

still better than fairy glowing wings

Holy crap! When I first entered the thread I was thinking “Oh, it’ll be one or two of them, no big deal” but then I looked at the link and… jeez. Not the case at all, there’s so many of them. It looks like it would basically double the amount of back items currently in-game.

WTF, why so many and why exclusive? Sure, some of them look pretty ridiculous, but the same can be said about anything in the game, and it’d certainly be nice to have them as options at the very least. Especially since a lot of them seem like they’d be more practically-based than a lot of the other back items which are just for show. They seem to be harvesting or crafting related, which actually has bearing on the character and their abilities, a niche that not many of the current back items fit.

I really hope these become available to us as well. You’ve got the modeled, don’t partially waste them by not even utilizing them for all players.

So tomorrow we’ll see “cool new items we’re adding to each crafting discipline!”

Wonder if we’ll get these? (Wild speculation)

I still really want these back items and want to have the ultimate bear ranger (just for fun)

That was one of the first things I thought about as well, when I saw the preview titles for the different things. These definitely seem like they’d fit the bill as “craftsmans tools” considering many of them do in fact look like the tools you’d use for each craft. Hope it happens.

Does anyone know if these skins are accessible on the CN version of the game? And if so why are they not available on the NA/EU version?

I think there ugly. But that’s just me. I think 90% of back items ugly.

I like some of them. The ones that look like backpacks anyway.

I was thinking that too. But if they don’t actually DO anything (as has been stated here), then there needs to be more to the update than just this.

man… these are epic on so many levels (not all of course) But there you got BEAUTIFULL backpacks that dont got that putrid brown colour… heck these things would be amazing to have. PLEASE a-net put them in so that those who want em can have em\ craft em. Those who dont want em.. all hail to you, i can certainly understand why some ppl dont like em
