Third thread. Remove board from the head.
Facts:
1) This issue was not fixed from the start of the game even though Colin Johanson said this at April 13th, 23:22, 2013:
It’s something we’re absolutely aware of and want to address in the future, one of my main characters is an engineer so I feel ya on this one. My poor quaggan backpack is visible like 2% of the time I play as I kit swap, never mind my weapon skins.
We’re currently focusing our engineering resources that could work on solutions to issues like kits/skins on major systems that address issues higher priority and wider reaching like lag in large battles, LFG, custom arenas, spectator mode and so on but this issue is absolutely on our radar.
I personally don’t know about how anet engineers are related to skins and visual elements of the game, but lets proceed.
2) Engineers (?) have done well, I personally do not experience any lags during large battles at wvwvw, we finally got an LFG tool, we have custom arenas, and spectator mode. Not sure about “so on” but this bug and “problem” about hobo sacks making backpack skins useless still exist. That’s pretty sad.
HoT is just a cash grab.
Almost nothing in this game will ever be fixed.
Anet fix things only if it might increase gemstore sales.
