Are we going to be able to see weapons on our back?

I really would love to see my weapon on my back when am enjoying the view or when I am roaming about when games don't have this feature it's hard to point out who's what class

    Yes, weapons will sheathe and there are options to display them on your back that can be toggled. Looking at what weapon someone is using will not tell you what class they are though, since any class can use any weapon or armor, but some will do better with certain weapons equipped over others. (can't use shield bash class ability without a shield for example.) We have also been told that there will be class information displayed on mouseover or targeting, so threat assessment is handled that way.

    Hi there! Looks like you already got a helpful answer above, and you can read more on where we've discussed items that will be visible on your back and belt here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Weapons#Items_on_back_and_belt

    In addition, as any class can wield any weapon, you will be utilizing other methods to distinguish another character's gear and class - mostly related to their nameplate: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/PvP#Threat_assessment

    I'm going to go ahead and close this thread out now, but please don't hesitate to reach back out if there's any way we can be of further assistance!
