Similar to World of Warcraft I guess... Maybe this can be implemented as an alternative to not wearing a guild cape, or maybe the weapon carried can be switched to one's side when the guild cape option is highlighted? IMO this would GREATLY improve our characters aesthetically, way better than having the weapon just magically appear in your hands right? I mean these Factions weapons look really great, why not show them off in town?

Request:

-Have an option in the inventory window to make current selected weapon be carried on the back (for big weps like swords/hammers/staffs) or the sides (like daggers, etc)

-Have an option (maybe by pressing the Z key) to sheath and unsheath the weapon when outside of town.


Yay or Nay?

In that case, could you kindly post up the link to one of the threads that have a similar topic for this one? My apologies for posting a duplicate topic....


Thanks in advance.

Since this one happens to be on the first page..

I'm all for the asthetics.

What does it matter if WoW also had some kind of feature like this? WoW also had you create a character. Omg! And you KILL things in WoW! Oh noes! Wait.. you mean to tell me you do these very basic things in Guild Wars, too?? Well, we can't have that, now can we! Let's all go play Barney games instead.

No point. Also, I'd rather not have my axe swung across my back.

Like people said, it's been suggested a billion times. Whether in the form of a backpack, sword/sheath/axe across back, quiver for arrows, etc.
I'm mainly a ranger. 500 hours on my ranger and 150 on my other charcters. So I certainly wouldn't mind a quiver.
/signed once again for quiver.

He's going on chracter customization, not PVE or PVP. Why the need to see your weapons go look in invent.

Every type of game such as GW has a PVE and PVP, to suggest WoW's PVP to any other PVP is ludicris to think about obsoleting it, only to WoW, seeing other games before WoW had PVP style.

Carry weapons on side / back? Have you ever heard of weapon slots? If you mean be able to show them on your back / side and not just have them in reserve, then I can understand, but if you are just talking about having them there, than you are a noob...

I think you completely missed the point. He means to physically be able to see the weapon that you are currently using on your side/back, instead of just magically having your weapon disappear and reappear.

I'm all for this, WoW wasn't the first to do it, so don't any of you guys ever say "GW is a wannabe WoW". It's been done in many MMO's and even in non MMO RPG's. It's just for looks, but it sure does make the game more pleasing to the user.

What's the harm in having this feature?

I think it'd be pretty cool to have a monk with 3 glowing staves tied across his back in bazooka-style fashion. =P.

Truncheon on the side and...what about that Cesta you have? On the other side of your character? Ok!
