It is removed for everyone, or just those who do not use transmog? It is a transmog ability but did not require transmog to be turned on. Which in my opinion, breaks their promise that I can not see transmogs.
Wait, wasn’t this a weapon specific thing? Like very few one-handed weapons would go on your back.
I assuming we are talking about that because it wouldn’t really make much sense for 2H weapons to be on your waist.
They made it so the transmog vendor would let you put any 1H on your back. For any class. Mages with a 1H sword were running around with swords on their back.
The issue is you do not need to have transmogs turned off, and even if you have it off, you can see everyone who has weapons on their back.
i feel like those people could have just let everyone have a little nice thing they like ffs

This seems more like a bug then an intentional change

No. It breaks the very promise Blizzard made that you have a choice. If I have transmog turned off I should not see swords on backs.
I agree it should be an option, which I am sure is being fixed, but it should require transmog on. I feel they are trying to fix it so it doesn’t auto-display for everyone.

To be fair that makes sense.
Transmog off is supposed to be.. well what everything looks like by default. If you need Transmog on to put a weapon on your back where it normally wouldn’t be. I don’t see much issue with that.
Oooooo it was the opposite… you can see those things with Transmog off… yeah no that needs to be fixed.
Really a harmless QOL…

Please fix it if it was a bug. This was cool cosmetic flavor with those that have Transmog turned on

then technically they should have fixed it for non-transmog users but kept it for transmog users

No reason whatsoever for this to be removed, can we please have it back. If not, can we get a reason as to why it was removed?

If it was displaying for the players that chose Transmog to be off, and it was still showing on characters around them, then yeah, that needed to be fixed but the fix happened to remove it entirely from the game. Bumpin’
They’re just placement toggles, they don’t actually change any appearance.
Hide helm and where you place your weapons should be visible regardless of transmog status because they don’t actually change the gear appearance, and because hide helm was in vanilla.

There was an “issue” where people with transmog disabled were still seeing people’s weapons changed to have different sheathing locations on the transmog interface.
I’m guessing that the option being gone isn’t intentional/permanent and they are just fixing that problem. Bag sorting also vanished with the patch.
Hopefully its just beta things. I love the option to sheathe 1h weaps on my back.

Respectfully, I disagree a little with you here. While is true that this is a change that nobody asked for it is harmless, preserving something just for the sake of it isn’t what we’re going for here. While it’s true that only a few swords would sheathe on back by default it is something minor, I don’t know if it was intended and then changed back to OG by blizz or a bug, but I believe that even with transmog off you should be able to change where to sheathe your weapon, it literally doesn’t hurt anyone, keeps the visual progression because you’re not changing the appearance of the weapon, but allows some visual expression in a non-disruptive way.
I play with transmog off all the time. I play prot warrior and once I discovered I can sheathe a sword behind my shield it looked so sick even with transmog off. I really wish they put it back.
For example you could still hide your helm and cloak, I find that way more disrupting than sheathing on back, they could be using their BiS helm or some dangerous one with an effect that you’d had to play around if you go against them but can’t see it because is hidden. I am not saying those things also need to go if they took sheathe on back away. What I’m trying to say is to repeat myself when I said: “Allows visual expression in a non-disruptive way”.
While yes there are weapons that sheathe in the back by default and it is a massive dopamine hit when you get them, it is also a big dropdown discovering is not even a good weapon for you.
If this discussion is not enough proof I’d like for them to poll, I might still lose the ground but I want to actually know how many people that play with transmog off dislike this. Even Xaryu the streamer that is VERY against transmog, he even said it shouldn’t even be a toggle, just remove it from the game, even himself said it was a cool thing.

yeah xaryu’s reaction was a good example of how it would be received, who cares where someone else sheathes their weapon transmog or not

Come on bliz, bring back the option for back sheath. FFS, there is no gain damage-wise this is an option that should be available for Tmog, to look nice or cool ect. thats the pont of Tmog is it not!!! you have something going with this game but your going to keep F-in around and push alot of your player base away like normal.
