Guild Wars 2

So now backpacks will now show up regardless of the kit you’re using (after using a skill). Has this been around for a while or is it new to the last patch? If so, thanks anet for this fix

Can anyone confirm this? I’ve been waiting since release for them to give us a way to hide the hobosacks. If they have finally done it, I’ll be jumping for joy.

I have no idea what he’s talking about.

Well I know it’s not showing my fractal backpiece. So I now I’m wondering maybe its only the plush ones or something?

It works after using one kit skill, I think

This. I am using the hobosack, may only work for it tho.

EDIT: Added screencap. Apparently it doesn’t override it, but it shows two backpacks at the same time. Here you can see the flamethrower backpack clipping with the rutsack. Also if used with shield, it will override the shield skin. If you manually draw your weapons you’ll see the engie taking his backpack off as if it were his shield for a brief time

This happens with my Jet Pack, I have only noticed it after I just finished combat so I always thought it was linked to just being in combat, but not sure now with Vennyhedgie’s screens.

What you’re seeing is a bug that has been around since beta. (Yeah, Arena Net really cares about this profession.) Basically your back item is glitching through the kit, that is why you sometimes see overlap. You’re only noticing now because there have always been very few back items with an actual piece to display until these living story updates, but I made my engineer with the multi-tool pack and used to see the glitch all the time. Hard to tell with that back item, but it happened. I reported it a few times, but I see it is still going on.

You should see my engineer; dragon wings popping our of his flamethrower pack.

(Oh how Arena Net just loves the engineer and truly cares about the quality of our experience.)

What kinda shows the level of polish this game has. C’mon this is supposed to be AAA :I
