(Suggestion) Stowed Shield Size

[mornfang.6205]

Hey!

 

On my asura, I've noticed that shields are smaller when stowed on my character's back, compared to when wielded. I.e whenever I wield the shield, it gets bumped up a few notches size wise, only to shrink again when stowed.

 

Therefore, shields tend to look a bit small and uncool while stowed. Bigger stowed shields would be really cool.

Consider yourself lucky. On Charr shields are massive, most of them sit too high and they're always floating.

I believe this is the case for most stowed weapons as well.

 

Though, I figure the most egregious example would be https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Verdarach

 

I just can’t reconcile how this would look at ‘use size’ when stowed.  😬

And here I was wanting a buckler shield skin because I think all of the stowed shields look too big.  Ah well

They do this so they don't clip the ground, and many larger shields already clip the pants on light and medium armor. If you want to see what happens when they don't scale weapons down, look at Charrzooka. It clips the ground on every single race and size combination, because they forgot to scale it down when stowed.

I thought that was a feature.  The biggest of guns!
