Guild Wars 2

My Mesmer mainly wields phantasm weapon skins.

While It would be cool, if you could add a special sheathe/draw animation to those, I also think a simple option to toggle show/hide sheathed weapons, would be equally as imersive, while being easier to implement.

This way it will add a tiny, but awesome immersive feeling, when wielding magic composed weapons, such as chaos and phantasm skins.

This also gives players the ability to better enjoy the look of their backpieces, which I for one, had to work hard to get (I got chaos of lyssa).

It is a little annoying when my sheathed two-handed weapons, clip with my backpeice.

While we do spend a lot of our time fighting, it would be nice, to be able to enjoy some backpeices in their full glory, while running about out of combat.

Would also be nice if this option, only affected your own character, so if others have chosen to show their sheathed weapons, they would still NOT see yours, if you yourself have toggled “hide”.

Have you considered the impact of this on PvP and WvW?

Not really, I don’t do PvP/WvW much myself.

Just make it a PvE only feature then.

Pretty much everyone runs the same 1-2 builds per class in pvp and mostly the same for WvW.

Someone might try and use this to throw a curve ball but Anet hasn’t done much of anything to encourage meta mix ups with the last patch so it’s a pretty safe bet what your opponent is running when you see their class tag.
