Not really… wow has a TON of visuals. I can hit 2400 in pvp every season and I can only tell the most important things at a glance already not minor effects. There is a ton of clutter.
I think they would need to override all transmog for that to work…? I don’t know if its possible in the engine ive only seen full costumes not transmogs taken on or off.
Fully support.
I hate the way most weapons look and just wont play classes if they have to have a sword/hammer/axe on their back.
And many races just have awful clipping issues with their weapons.
The option to hide my weapon would open up a lot of doors for me.
Rather then shooting down the idea… a good middle ground would be to allow wands to be hidden weapons. There isn’t a class that uses them where disarming them is really worthwhile.
Would let casters get their weaponless casting animations.
Hiding Off-Hand would be good.
Although hidden weapons would be cool for spell-casters (and Monks), I’m not sure this would work for other Melee classes.
I feel if we’re not allowed to use staves on our hands might as well let us hide them. Casters didn’t always have weapons in the RTSs. Blood mages and sorceresses didn’t carry any weapons. I like staves, but having them glued on our backs is lame, I prefer having nothing.
If it’s a tauren, it would seem plausible. If it’s a gnome or fem BE it’s kind of funny. That said you can already use very small brass knuckles on most melee classes which is like being unarmed. I was mainly thinking of casters though, or generally any class that has their weapon glued to their back and never gets any use.
