Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Ever since PoF release I've seen probably 1 out of 10 characters wearing a spear-looking backpiece and I'm wondering what that is. Google didn't help, and I've whispered about 10 people asking about it, but apparently they were AFK because I never got a response.I've seen plenty with a plain spear model, and some with a red glow. And I assume it's a backpiece, since some characters have a 2-handed weapon hanging on their backs with the spear. Maybe a collection/achievement reward? In any case, I want one!I'd post a screenshot, but I'm not currently on my personal computer. Any insight will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galmac.4680 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Have you completed the story? Maybe it's one of the objects you will earn there!?Or maybe that's the guild backpiece with a guild logo on it (see the merchants in your guild hall)?

Like the plain underwater spear weapon. The other model I've seen is the same, but has a faint red glow around it.@Galmac.4680 said:Have you completed the story?

I chose independence for Amnoon though, but as far as I understand, that choice only effects what banner backpiece you receive. It's also not the guild skin.

Any insight will be appreciated.That happens to my own character sometimes - it's like my underwater weapon (a spear) shows alongside my normal weapon when I'm on land. Swapping weapons makes it go away. I haven't figured out what triggers it, though. It never happens when I've just been underwater or anything like that.

Randulf.7614 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 There is an odd glitch with spears appearing randomly on people's back from their underwater set. Could be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh.4251 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 OHhh that is not a new backpack. That is a visual glitch. It's been happening to a lot of people where their aquatic weapons will display on their backs. It was making me wonder why someone had two rifles until I realized one of them was a Speargun.

Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Ahh, just a bug then :( Strange, I swear I've literally seen only those two I mentioned above (and A LOT of them) but never seen other underwater weapon skins on anyone.Bugger, I really wanted a spear-looking backpiece. Well, thanks for the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charrbeque.8729 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I've seen this as well a lot during Mad King Says in Lion's Arch. A player with a basic underwater spear stowed on their back (angled toward the left shoulder) at the same time as a greatsword stowed on their back (angled toward the right shoulder). Essentially they have 2 large weapons on their back in the shape of a giant X.Most likely, as other have suggested, some kind of weird bug or glitch.I think its' most common I see a spear with the Haunted Greatsword from the new Halloween weapons.

Tman.6349 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It is, indeed, a graphical bug. The two spears you're seeing are the Iron Spear (starter stuff b/c most people never bother with their uw gear) and Impaler (one of the most popular spear skins in the game; it also has berserker stats base). You can get Impaler from the tp for just over a gold. GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celldrax.2849 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I've seen this a lot on mounted characters.I had just assumed people were using some weird equip/unequip trick to get it to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charrbeque.8729 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Saw it again, just a few minutes ago, during Mad King Says. A charr player had some kind of bow on his back at the same time as this basic underwater spear. The player even got on his springer mount and had both weapons on his back. But it seemed to fix itself after the player dismounted and had his bow drawn.I'm not saying it was aliens but...........it was aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
