Backpack Transmog

[Gnomechomsky-twilights-hammer (Gnomechomsky)]

Probably not a new suggestion, but since we carry bags anyway, why not have transmoggable backpacks?

Could be race / spec / profession specific (quiver of arrows for hunters / Kegs for BrMs / Totems for Tauren / Rocket pack for Engineers etc).

idk if it would mess up animations / weapon sheathing, but I think it would be cool. I really liked what they did with Artifact weapons & skins.

would this be backpacks as an alternative to cape for the back armour slot or what, because I am 100% down for that but I’m a little confused with the phrasing

[Ursarvis-argent-dawn]

I suspect the Tauren Heritage armour’s totem back slot is a stepping stone for this. It turned out looking great, and I think we’ll be seeing something similar soon.

Mechagon should give their sweet-looking backpacks as transmoggable gear.

[Podruge-lightbringer]

So wierd,back in my old days in swtor it was considered cool to get a trooper / guardian armour without backpack

I don’t miss them at all, but I certainly don’t see any reason why it shouldnt be added at some point.

[Grubz-wildhammer]

they already put a bunch of stuff on your back for a ton of quests anyway may as well let you keep some of it as an appearance option as well as those war harnesses from high mountain that were put in as statuses or something for some reason

[Sneaklyn-silvermoon]

I love the idea would be cool all sorts of quivers for arrows or even a ammo bandolier for guns and adding some stuff to classes based on their spec/class like outlaw rogues a holster on hip for their handgun, monks with a belt of their beer based on race , mini kegs for dwarves, intricate bottles for elves colored based off the kind of elf your playing

For as long as visuals can be turned off i’m fine with it. However with sheathed weapons and cloak showing the visuals are already messed up. On my warrior one of her weps goes right through a cloak when i’m having it shown so i turned it off.

This pretty much.
I think Blizzard has wanted to add in Backpacks and quivers for a long time but haven’t had an excuse do it sadly.
I’m pretty sure there will be banners and backpacks, quiver and whatnot in the next expac as a replacement to cloaks

Yeh I’ve no idea how/if it would work.
Perhaps not a replacement for our cape, as some folk probably like the cape. I’d say have both (with the option to hide both). If you had a bag+cape, perhaps only have physics enabled on the bottom 1/2 of cape? Would likely still be messy with sheathing large weapons though
idk I guess it’s for the developers to design & implement if they’re so inclined.

All my yes’s! …belt attatchments would be another nice visual!
-holsters, vials, herbs, gadgets, quivers, bag o’ skulls, trinkets… gives us stuff to unlock or craft / war trophies to dangle…

[Shioban-draenor]

Just as long as it can be hidden i’m fine with it because i want to see my weps.

[Yinghei-argent-dawn (Yinghei)]

Sounds like a great idea. For alot of items though you would probably have to hide your weapons like the Tauren totem does. My hunter no longer has her bow with her totem on but Id be happy with that for other things like backpacks or quivers.
More choices are always good!

[Radium-dragonblight]

Yes please! Been mising backback transmogs in wow because they are such a nice thing in gw2. Plain different kind of backpacks, totems, kegs, bunch of herbs, jetpacks, professions bags (like bag with hammers poking out etc.), giant flowers, baby monkeys hanging on your back, gnome piggyback bag (also should work as 2 person mount where you can carry gnome or goblin), pet bags with puppy/kitten looking out of them, parrot on shoulder backbag, flamethrower backbag and i guess quiver too. Just to mention few. Make it happen Blizzard pretty please!

[Macumbo-pozzo-delleternità]

I’m totally supporting this. I would even be satisfied with just a leather strap to justify why my staff is sitting on my back.

@Radium-dragonblight

pet bags with puppy/kitten looking out of them,

Would make a great pet achievement reward to have a cloak that was a rucksack with a perky pug or kitten hanging out and a trap or two dangling underneath.
or Id love a Grummle style backpack too!
