Over 3 years into the game and this STILL bugs me. Backpacks on Asura sit halfway down the back, they look move like HUGE bumbags/fanny packs.

Same with single handed weapons. They sit halfway down the thighs. With a game that relies so much on aesthetics (which are usually top notch), this is a huge annoyance.

Is there any hope this will ever be fixed?

I see, so you can wear backpacks, you just choose not to because of OCD?

I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….

I’ve never encountered any backpiece issues on my asura.

Its not OCD when the backpiece looks godawful because it is situated in totally the wrong place. I want my character to look good, not like garbage because an asset is in completely in the wrong place.

Would you accept an armour piece that was floating off the body of your character? Its basically the same thing, you’d remove or change that bugged piece.

I have to say, I’m not seeing an issue from that screenshot. Looks like it sits on the back?

Backpacks on all other species sit up near the shoulders as they should. On Asura they’re way too low. Same with all sheathed weapons. Back weapons like hammers and greatswords clip into the ground, as to most single hand swords. Everything needs moving up significantly.

If it sat higher your ponytail would be clipping right through it and you would likely be complaining about that instead.

How can an Asura wear a backpack anyway? In my perception, an Asura is a walking, talking backpack on it´s own anyway.^^

No but yeah but no. Hair clips on all species on lots of outfits, let alone backpacks. If it clips with a piece of clothing I simply… choose a different piece of clothing.

When it is an obvious design error which affects all items of a type, it’s slightly more of an issue.

It’s probably the armor you’re using.

You are sure this doesn’t have to do with the difference in anatomy with asura? I mean they have lower shoulders and large heads, so maybe having the back items be higher up causes problems like taller ones clipping through your head.

Asura backpacks are fine. The only problem they might have is floating too far from the back, but if that wasn’t done it would literally be inside the larger body types so there is no way around that.

I’m only here because sometimes I just like to watch things burn.

Nope. Yours is way too low too. It sits in the small of the back.

The backpack in those screenshots sits just below the shoulder blade. It definitely doesn’t sit in the small of the back.

Had a look on my Asura and I’m still not seeing anything off with any backpack i have tried

Yeah, it’s just below the shoulder blade, where on my Sylvari it’s just at the shoulder blade (just previewed a few items). But the items are also proportionately bigger on human-shape PCs and I think the slight difference in placement is because of the asuras’ giant heads, longer necks, and lower shoulders. For example, the Radiant back item I previewed would be inside my asura’s head if it was moved up or made significantly larger.
