THANK YOU for the "hide stowed weapons" option!

[Mea.5491]

Hiding weapons out of combat is something I've been asking for since forever, **thank you**! :heart: When my Sylvari swings her arms (idle animation), they clip though the weapons so this helps A LOT! :relieved:

[notebene.3190]

This is something I always wanted. Clipping is something that has never bothered me, I just wanted it as a feature. A little bit of something for everyone in the QoL.

[Mea.5491]

Yup, more customization options are always good. Right now my scepter is hidden but my Anomaly is visible. :D Looks great!

I've been wanting something like this for so long. As someone who enjoys using shields, but also likes wearing back pieces, this is a huge QoL improvement to me. Thank you, Anet!

Does this apply just to you? Or can other players not see your weapon too?

Edit: Also how do you enable this option?

There are check boxes next to each weapon under the Equipment tab of the hero panel, like the ones that hide your helmet or gloves.

Shields man. I'm slightly upset it took the introduction of capes for this feature to appear. Nobody minded that your enormous jetpack could be hidden by a shield. Well, at least it's here.

They removed it?!?!?!?!

Not in PvE

[Donari.5237]

The competitive mode removal is only temporary. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/93581/update-on-hiding-stowed-weapons

 

I am also loving this QoL. I have a lot of characters that don't roam the city streets armed to their teeth. I've tended to weapon skins that disappear when stowed anyway (see: Touch of Madness, for example) or at least are so small they hide themselves in my gear. Now I can branch out a bit, use some bigger items without having them look ridiculous when I'm just rp'ing.

[KidRoleplay.3615]

Would like an "always display back item" button as well so you can have them always visible during emotes without having to do tricks. Also for gliding. With capes. Without having to buy an eventually released glider pack.

This is quite cool, finally I can show off my awesome Warbringer backpack whilst I've got my shield stowed!

i dont know how often this is gonna happen, i havent been on alot to test it, but i have found that at times, with weapon hidden, upon drawing to enter combat, and during said combat, hidden weapon never shows up. know what its like to be swingin a bow staff on my DD only to be doing it empty handed? looks pretty goofy to say the least lol

[Ashantara.8731]

The only problem is that it's bugged (see Bugs subforum). Weapons that are hidden become invisible when drawn as well, when you switch your weapon set.
