Felipe.1807 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Nah, I allways hide the backpack...only ones that I use is the quiver on my ranger and thief...even the sPvP legend wings i hided after a few minutes cause looks to weird...till it have full animations for in/out of combat, walking, running, jumping, etc i wont use it...for the banners, is just look weird in my opinion...the worst part is that for some reason i legit though that the Commander Banner was a cape lol even if it have "banner" on the name haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen.2907 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 No.They do not fit in with any of my characters' armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky.4861 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I have so many backpieces to choose from that for me, the fact that most of the banners are exotic means i'll defer to an asc. I normally show my backpiece happily (except the bloodstone shard one, and even then i sometimes do) as it's a waste of designers' time not to. Also, someone made the effort to design it (and probably someone else for a collection) then you make the effort to acquire the banner and you don't even show it?!

Manpag.6421 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I hardly ever use backpacks at all. It's possible to style a character so that they suit them (Joko's banners work wonderfully with the Awakened Zealot outfit, I find), but unless you do this they'll always look a bit cumbersome. It's a shame they can't be used as gliders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cregath.7628 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I centered the looks of my character around the Banner of the Commander. Looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff.5312 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I wear one on one of my toons. It looks good with the outfit and it doesn't seem strange to me when in motion. I don't really study what my toons look like in every transitional pose - mostly I'm interested in how they look around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraghound.5730 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I like banners and I've used them all at some point (all depends on what I'm in the mood for), minus the commander banner that came with the newest LS episode ( I'm still working on the dauntless commander banner so no option on using that just yet). It's a really nice looking banner but I see more of the pole that holds it then the banner itself when I preview it on my Asura. I'll still likely use it at some point because dangit I worked hard on making it of course I'm gonna wear it. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oglaf.1074 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The problem I'm having is that none of them actually look like what I expect from a banner.I want something that looks more like the Pennants from Diablo III.Then I might wear/bear them.

Zarghoul.5687 Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 I can see why would be a nightmare to make capes work...i mean, they would have to add physics to it or else would just look bad(my opinion)tbh though they added the ancient banner of elona, which is practically a cape, and from the looks of it, they didnt bother to add proper collision on it, has Anet ever said the reason why they dont use capes anymore?

(like capes or a costume tail)I don't know why they didn't go with the more upright Charr that were introduced during the eye of the north expansion. It's too late to change it now though.

graceangel.3618 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think having them in the home instances are great. Lots of people use their instances for roleplay too. The banners might add storywriting elements. I haven't ever worn a banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanWilder.6923 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I was once carried Ammoon Banner for a few month and thats my 1st time playing GW2. Now I wonder what was wrong with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
