Guild Wars 2

How about make the kits and weapon skins as defaults. BUT make backpieces REPLACE the engineer backpacks and or weapon skins.

And thanks to an already implemented back hide feature we can hide the backpack for the normal hobosacks if someone so chooses.

Also release a backpiece that is nothing, so people who just want nothing as the back can equip “back nothing” and then no backpack will show up !~

( have a show/hide on wep too ) then everyone would be happy:
- people who don’t want the backpacks
- people who want the backpacks
- people who want the backpieces to show

For KIT DISTINCTION you can have something like the old Kit Refinement except it does nothing, just an animation to indicate you switched kits. EX:

Grenade kit = snap your fingers and a small controlled explosion on your hand.
Tool kit = some scraps of tools falling behind or a wrench flip~
Elixer Kit = a colourful cloud of smoke from a chemical reaction ~
Bomb Kit = a bomb animation appears on the floor of the character to show planting of bombs or a radar symbol ~

Hopefully this idea could come to fruition ^^ ~

PLz read Anet ! +1 if approve guys ~

I like the kit distinction idea although I’m not sure what you meant in the Bomb kit section.

Hopefully this will get a looked at, it appeals to me.

Alternatively, if Anet feel that enemies have to be able to see it so they can choose how to fight us, allow us to hide it from ourselves/allies, so only enemies see our backpacks.

Well they could always give us a “buff icon” like the eles have with their attunements. That would fix the hobosack problem.

But yeah, OP I like the idea, didn’t get the Bomb Kit one though.

Or alternatively you can have an ongoing short fuse running while holding a bomb for the Bomb kit animation ~ its better than the confusing explanation of bomb kit up there.

- AngelShadow- I’m not sure about hiding kits from ourselves but the enemies idea though, it would bother me. Its like lying to yourself xD,

This could work, too. I really dont care if an enemy sees my backpack as much as myself or an ally.
