Guild Wars 2

Can we please get the option to turn off kit graphics, so we can participate in the backpack and weapon skin collecting. 11 months of engineers asking, it’s not a new issue.

Thanks.

P.S. Couldn’t one patch one day be about hats or gloves or something, not weapon skins and backpacks which exclude engineers.

there are engineers in this game?

jokes aside, I too hope there is an option of toggle off the kit graphics and show backpiece and/or stowed weapons before the game’s first birthday. There have been glove/helm skins in special events though. Just not as frequent as backpacks :P

good point-
I collect all the back pack skins and shiny weapons on my Ranger, Mesmer or Ele, even though my Engineer is one of my favorite and most played characters.

I think she has looked the same since level 60 or so

Well to be fair, you need some visual tell of what you’re doing. Either they redesign the engineer so that it’s toolkits are on the arms/hands or it stays as it is.

A neat little thing for engineers would be to allow each tool kit to be customised to some degree. Perhaps a couple of theme’s like basic/modern/plantlike/steampunk/etc.
Even dyeable would be great. They are part of the core of the profession after all.

In a game where skins are pretty much everything, one class out of eight is left out of back pieces and legendaries. Essentially.

But don’t worry guys….I’m sure we will see a new greatsword skin!

So the flamethrower should be what? A blowtorch you hold in one hand?

I try to keep an open mind but this seems like an incredibly silly thing to complain about.

Good luck on this though.

I think as an Engineer I wouldn’t mind a specific Flamethrower or any other kit skin really.

As a compromise I would say allow us to hide the back-sack for kits but keep the weapon animation and skins.
This would allow us to equip cool back-item skins.

That would be a start.

I’d go with this as a PvE-only option. Definitly not in WvW and sPvP.
