I searched the forums about any information about this but unfortunately i couldn't find any so i'll post how it's possible. As it is now, there's a small bug/feature with their rendering queue which makes it possible to get your weapon and misc hand held item visible.

Zoom in to first person view and unequipt your hand held items, then just re-equipt them. The models will be set to rendered and voila, your swords, wands etc will become visible and animated which seriously, increases the immersion immensly.

It's also possible to have a completely empty weapon set to toggle to when in first person mode and then to the weapons you want to be visible.

I've reported this feature/bug so we'll se how long it'll be in.

Wtf? If it's somthing that increases immersion, and isn't an exploit, why in the world would you report it?

I just tried it with my warrior. It was rad. I'm going to do this from now on, I did it with my fellblade and towershield, pretty neat. As for you reporting it...people these days.....

If people like it, I would hope ANET wouldn't fix it.

But reporting some cool little thing that affects nothing but graphics is kind of....stupid

Once upon a time..

For all we know, they might keep it if enough people like it. So, if you like it, why not get enough people and support to ask ANet to make it a permanent feature?

The OP calls for VIDEO MODE NERFING! Nerf I say! Nerf!.. Seriously though.. if it's a bug, it shouldn't be. I'd be a nice feature. Remember in Doom where you were carrying around the chainsaw? Would you play the game if you DIDNT the chainsaw? No. Because the Chainsaw made that game what it was: fjear.
