Guild Wars 2

I’ve looked around the forums and can’t find an answer so I’ll ask this here.

Is there anyway to change the NEW graphic of the bomb kit back to the original? My Asura used to look really cute running around with the old bomb backpack and nothing in his hands… now, he just looks ridiculous running around constantly with an old fashion wash tub in his hands and a lit fuse attached to it. It’s enough to make me want to stop using the bomb kit… and that really stinks since I love using the bomb kit.

Any info on this?

The current Bomb kit iteration has gotten unanimously negative feedback (and so did partially the Mortar for looking cheap), partially due to the broken animation, partially due to the size and model of the bomb. Especially when it scales with people’s races / character sizes. There have been hints that it will get updated, so at least your animations might become a lot more bearable soon – not sure about the model yet! Let’s hope for the best that bombs and mortar will look a lot better in the coming weeks or months.

That said, the backpack is going to stay gone, which most engineers are very happy with, due to that issue having been one of the most requested things in the history of the gw2 forums, for years and years.

That’s a real shame. Thank you for responding though.
