With all the great looking back items we have nowadays, it saddens me that my engineer only shows his backpieces when in combat. As soon as he stows his shield, the back piece disappears, because he’s wielding a shield that goes on the back (much like a greatsword) and removes the backpack (much unlike the greatsword).
Please consider either:
1. placing the backpack over the shield when it’s stowed
-or-
2. giving professions that can use a shield an option to hide the shield when stowed (like we already have options to hide head and shoulder items).
Also, when I draw or stow my shield, during the animation of moving the shield from / to the back, the back item temporarily appears on the shield, which really looks silly. I would be delighted if something could be done about this in the process!
I noticed more strange behaviour regarding back piece and engineers today. When I equip a kit (flamethrower, grenades) the backpiece changes to the kit’s skin. But as soon as I start fighting, that backpiece changes to the equipped backpiece (in my case, the new one with the caged tucan on top). I can still see parts of the flamethrower backpiece right though it. Fun to see and better than not showing my equipped backpiece at all but I highly doubt this is working as intended?
