Backpacks: Why are they stupid? Who is going to carry a gigantic coffin, a burning cauldron, an undead altar, or a massive tree trunk? Ridiculous. Why can’t you create actual backpacks or weapon sheathes? Goofy here and there is fine, but almost all of it is goofy.
Moreover, these backpacks float so far behind some of the armor models that it gives the appearance of a 2001 game. Weapons clipping through them look absolutely terrible. What a mess.
Why do we not have sword sheathes or axe clips? Crossbows and hammers look ridiculous and lazy… just floating behind the model. Makes the whole character look absolutely atrocious.
This may not seem like a big deal, but if these things were dealt this, our characters would look incredible. Why dumb them down with beginner techniques?
WHAT TO CHANGE:
Each sword should have its own weapon sheath. I’m a 3D modeler and can probably create a sheath for every sword in this game in 1 day. It’s VERY simple to do.
We should also be given a limited x, y, z transform so that we can adjust each backpack-to-armor accordingly.
Clipping is going to exist long after graphics are indistinguishable from reality.
The only way you’ll know you’re still in the game is because someone’s hair starts poking through their premium DLC jacket every time they look around.
I mean not really, AI will probably solve that some day by dynamically adapting hairstyles and outfit combos, but right now it’s usually because the team can’t bother to match the accessory up with every other combo -_-
How is the artists being told by the higher ups not to waste time on something lazy? You are right, it is easy to do and they could easily do it, but the director deemed it a waste of resources. That’s not lazy, that’s how game development works.
One day you’ll have a big boy job and be able to understand that.
This being the first thread I have seen on either the Diablo 3 or 4 forums about it, I’d say it’s a safe bet the majority doesn’t care.
And that’s the majority of the incredible minority that uses the forums. No mind reading, just logical conclusion.
I never equip a backpack because I agree they look silly and I don’t think they suit these type of fantasy characters. If this is suppose to be some nod to realism and not another attempted cash grab then someone needs to tell them that gear is usually stored on the horse. Maybe if they create a Navy SEAL class.
and why exactly can’t people have the backpacks they like just because you don’t like them
it’s not like you have to buy them
guess I’ll have to stop thinking about one of the backpacks I was going to buy because I liked it because you don’t like backpacks
Yes, and when you think about it moving the away from your legs is logical because the is ultimately trying to kill you by tripping you. Although the emote would be better it was successful and you character trips and falls. Because
one is better than the 
one… because
