Weapons No Longer Visible While Mounted


Recommended Posts

Posted

Since the patch I can no longer see my or anyone else's weapons while mounted. Hoping this is a bug and not intended! Didn't see anything about it in the patch notes and haven't seen any posts about it here or on the reddit. Can a dev please let us know if this will be fixed?

Not only this, but seeing my weapon while mounted allows me to attack properly BASED on the WEAPON I HAVE EQUIPPED after engaging my mount's attack ability (1 Key) on an enemy.

It's not the most critical thing in the world, but having visibility of which weapon I have equipped while mounted IS combat useful to me. (A good example is the start of the Matriarch boss meta fight in VB. I want to have my warrior's hammer equipped in lieu of my GS so I can CC the boss after engaging my Bunny's attack skill.) :smile:

That's the first thing I noticed after the patch and I really don't like the change. It took me quite some time to match my characters' and mounts' looks (sometimes using expensive colors to match certain weapons).

Also, after a longer ride I lose track of which weapon set my char has currently equipped, which makes engaging in combat from a mounted state less fluent/intuitive - if that makes any sense.

Please change it back :'(

Please fix this soon, it's really inconvenient to not be able to tell which weapon set is equipped while mounted. Also, many people invest a lot of time to make their characters, weapons and mounts look great together.

Still waiting for a response on this... I'm not great at keeping up with the reddit, if anyone sees a dev response or any thread about it there please link it here, thanks!

Nothing on known issue tracker or patch notes. In a game like Fashion Wars 2 I'm surprised more people aren't asking about this!

It was pretty cool looking when equiped with a bow and rox's quiver while mounted... now only the quiver appears. But my guess is it's a bug... I don't see any reason to pay employee to remove this! =)

Yep, still broken here. Hope this is remedied soon, this was one of the biggest improvement points over HoT, which was being able to see our appearance while mounted (as opposed to gliding, which hides both backpieces and equipment. ) Seeing a legendary weapon on your back added a whole lot more to riding a mount, so I'm hoping this wasn't an intended change.

I don't expect it to be fixed anytime soon (I understand why it's low priority), but I'd really like to see a quick dev response on whether or not it is in fact a bug and will be put on the list to be fixed eventually. :( So far haven't seen any anet acknowledgement of it at all.

I guess a fix for the desync isses has a much higher priority right now.

I just hope that the weapons not showing while mounted is actually a bug and not intended. I could very well imagine this being a bandaid "fix" for other player characters showing underwater weapons and land weapons at the same time after dismounting... Something like "oh, the mechanism for showing and hiding weapons properly after mounting is broken - let's just disable it completely".

I hope that's not the case since I couldn't care less if the player next to me has a pitchfork on his/her back. What I do care about is the looks of my own character and that currently expensive skins and overall looks I worked on are gone once my character is mounted...
