Guild Wars 2

I have always wondered why they don’t show the weapon you have equipped in the select screen. Is there a reason why?

I’m actually kinda glad there aren’t. Also glad they sync’d up the hide shoulders/helmet.

So as with all things regarding any cosmetic related concerns, be it armor or showing weapons at a login screen, I hope the solution takes the form of giving everyone choices and options.

This is just a guess but probably to avoid confusing people with the fact that you can’t customise it. Everything you see on the character select screen is customisable, even if it’s just the colour, so if they showed the weapon there’s bound to be at least one person going backwards and forwards wondering how they keep missing the option to pick a weapon.

Either that or because it’s not part of the character model.

They don’t show weapons in any of the cutscenes either. Probably because the clipping makes it look bad.
