Seeing Equipped Secondary Weapon

Mykriz

If we have a different type of weapon equipped as a back up we should be able to see it. Doesn't make sense why weapons just disappear when switched. I think characters look empty when their weapon is out.

i Agree with you, but this would cost money, time, and resources to change.

Hmm...before this gets deleted I’ll say that if I remember right...
That Was the original plan...but due to graphic clipping issues on armours/mounts etc...they just skip’d it

I don’t think there’s any way to do this (and have it look good) without removing the ability to sheath your currently equipped weapon.

I would much rather stop seeing the weapons at my characters feet first though (gfx bug)

Asardes

Sometimes I can't even see the currently equipped one. Just the other day my char was whipping the air with an invisible sword while dragging the bow on the ground. Sometimes he shoots arrows from his sword and beats mobs to death with his bow. Other times he loses his patience and sprints in the saddle while riding.

Well they gave us the benefit of seeing them at our feet

Really?

And what about (although not conventional but players will do all kind is stuff) combinations like Staff and the longsword or Staff and the Sword + Shield, or bow in combination with those, it would look ridiculous all that hanging all around.
Nothing wrong with this system, that would just be too much cluttered.

I wouldn't mind myself. But then I'm the guy who happily wears the Treasure Hunter costume despite the clipping with the backpack.

Suffice to say, as someone who already sees this kind of clipping every time he plays: It's actually not as bad as people make it out to be.

Also biased because yes, I absolutely want to see my character running around with a sword and dagger on the hips, and his trusty bow on his back.

Well you took hips and back combinations, which will of course work, I agree it will work, daggers and back works by default, I took the back-back combination on purpose.

Yup.

You should also be able to see the sheath your weapon is in / was in when you draw it, instead of having the weapon just float off your avies body.

Sadly... those are corners that were cut in the name of performance!

And since they cannot make money from refitting this... we just gotta live with what we have, not with what we wish we'd have gotten.

It’s currently no 186,578,735 on the task list, just behind capes and special hats for pets.

So, in a word, no.

@Asardes if you're on PC you should use Clutch addon, just install it and you'll never have that problem
Had it for months and i can't believe it was solved by such a stupidly simple trick
