Guild Wars 2

This is something that has driven me nuts since headstart. GW2 obviously cares a great deal about character aesthetics, since it has so many various armor options and abilities to make your character look generally awesome. But there is one thing that, for my engineer at least, seems to destroy his look entirely: kit backpacks ignore my “hide back” toggle! So what I end up with is an engineer who has this whole western gunslinger look going… and POOF there’s a big ugly backpack on his back ruining the whole thing >> This is actually one of the main reasons I don’t use kits that much >>

Soooo… is there anyone else out there would like to see the kit backpacks respect the “hide back” toggle? =D

Yeah not a lot of people like to look like a Hobo.

hahaha panhandlers united!

but yeah I like the visual cue of the kit backpacks since I turned off my regular backpack and I can tell what skill I’m in. sometimes in PvE I just like to hide all the menus and fight. super relaxing (especially under water) and since I run kit combos, seeing the backpack let’s me know what kit I’m in.

i transmuted and still use the starter backpack on my lvl 80 exotic stuff, but johnsonade actually brings up a good point…how many times have i tried to kill someone by throwing med packs at them? or tried to shoot at them from range with a wrench? lol

if they made an option to disable all kit backpacks i wouldnt complain. but i hope if they do that its not a 100% total removal of kit backpacks

what….i accidently sold my backpack and i want it back. I think its the coolest thing. You can see stuff moving when running and it makes the engis look like a fumbling alchemist or support character that doesnt look intimidating until he delivers the 100nades.

toggle would be nice :p! altho, i do love the fact that it hides your weapons making it look smoother when running instead of juggling a huge charrzooka around

I used to hate how my Quaggan backpack was so small on my Asura. Then I did AC and was transformed into a human and I saw how horrible BIG engineer kits look on bookahs.

So I’m happy to live with small kits now : P

I wish I could apply Dye to my kits.
Then they wouldn’t bother me at all.
Even looking at the pack its seems it is perfectly set up to to have a 2-3 spot color scheme, 2 bleh brown tones and the red flag thing.

But I guess if they did tht the Mesmers would want to dye their clones and Rangers their pets.

Which somes pretty good too though.
