These wings, especially on Charr characters are really an eye sore and obstruct the view of many things in the game. Standing by a vendor, all I can see is these wings. Destroying a gate in WvW, all I can see is wings, everywhere. For such a gorgeous and well designed game, I’m struggling to understand the decision to put these in, but they are popular and more and more people will own them, and each to his own. I just wondered if there is a way to stop displaying them? I know we can choose not to display our own back items. Please consider making this an option if there isn’t one, this is really offputting.
You can’t turn off other players’ back items, but you can set the Character Model Quality to Low or Lowest; it’ll make it so you’ll only see model placeholders (generic models) instead of the actual armor and back items. You’ll still see their weapons, though.
Edit: Nevermind, I just tested it, and yeah, you can still see the back items.
It really is obstructive, a lot of people in game also commenting on these things. I actually left a WvW map earlier because all I could see in the battle were wings all over the place.
I also saw a few people saying how it made a dungeon run more difficult for them.
