don't see Flamethrower Backpack
Engineer kits no longer display backpacks. The reason behind the change is that a lot of players complained the kit backpacks hid their existing backpack, and Anet has started pushing cosmetic backpack skins in the gem store. Personally, I hated the kit backpacks and am glad for the change, but I guess not everyone is.
Better we had an option to show cosmetic backpack or skill or equiped one…
Ok, I got the poit.
Thanks for the info.
Pity.

The long and short of it was that Anet in their infinite wisdom didn’t think having cosmetic back items and a profession part of who’s aesthetic was an back item override would be an issue. Anet’s answer (after a long history of complaints by a vocal portion of the community) was to remove the backpack portion of the kits altogether instead of making a toggle. I’m still crossing my fingers that they come back (mostly EG and FT), since they were part of the reason I mained an Engineer for so long.
Thanks for bring this up. I was one of those hoping that we’d get to keep our hobosacks.
Pity indeed.
On the plus side we got these yesterday:
Upset:
- English: /upset /facepalm
- Spanish: /enfadado /enfadada
- German: /ärgerlich /verärgert
- French: /fâché
Sad: - English: /sad
- Spanish: /triste
- German: /traurig
- French: /triste
To this day I’m unsure why a compromise (e.g. Toggle) wasn’t the resolution.
