Swords on Back, please!!!
ive always wanted to saay this.....THE SUGGESTION FORUM IS THAAAAAAT WAAAAAAAAAAAAY! On a serous note, the devs are way to busy looking for things to nerf to help us with any thing cool like that. they are on a roll. it took them less then a month to nerf the MA back to obscurity!
Bwuh? What do bugfixes to the MA have to do with the OP, or with nerfs in general?
this does belong in the S&I forum, where it's been posted several times before.
However, if you have the Good vs. Evil pack, it's easy to demonstrate why this isn't currently in the game, and probably can't be until a major overhaul happens - which may or may not happen.
First, create a new character. It doesn't matter which side, AT or powerset. Don't select any back items on the costume, as they may obscure what we're looking at. Make it female, and with all the sliders at the minimum values.
Once you've loaded into the game, turn the camera so that you're looking at the character from the side and turn on your Jump Pack. You'll notice that the Jump Pack is floating several inches away from your character.
Now, do the same thing, but this time, use a Huge model with all sliders maximized, and view him from the regular camera position (behind). Thi time, the Jump Pack will be embedded in his back, with only the tips of the jets sticking out.
Until we have a way to attach things properly to the back, the devs seem to be hesitant to add back items to the costume, be they weapons, quivers, jetpacks, etc.

Then why does the ninjas in steel have them? Also, the cop belt has a stick on it. What's so hard about swords? I've wanted this option forever.
I knew there was a suggestion forum....i have seen it before but for some reason couldn't today....
Anyway, i usually use the normal male figure.....

The ninjas in Steel all use the same model, and don't have to worry about clipping. The nightstick on the Official belt isn't as prominent, and sliders around the waist and hips have less effect then the chest and body sliders.
And just because you only use the standard male model doesn't mean everyond does. Jay once posted that if a costume option clips with more than a certain percentage of costume parts, it won't be added. The official comment on the high-collared cape implies that that rule is being relaxed a bit, but as long as the weapon hovers behind and/or impales the person carrying it, we're not likely to see it happen.
Going Rogue is rumored to have graphics updates in it. Maybe it will be possible in the near future. Maybe it's already included. Wait and see.
@Roderick
I saw someone mention the cop belt here. I would love that belt if you had two options. with or with out the nightstick.
Also there is no way for the swords on your back to disappear when you draw your blades. That will result in you having your swords in your hand and still have the swords in the scabbards on your back.
Actually, with the code they use for combat auras, they may now be able to do that. But you'd have to ask BAB to be sure.

Like how ninja Jounin carry three katanas with them? Now that's a well-prepared ninja!
Anyway, that would be an acceptable tradeoff. Tsoo do it and Infernal does it. I'd just like to see some new non-cape non-wing back options like sheaths, backpacks, jetpacks, and stuff. I've heard it's possible but they need to do a new anchor point. Hopefully they'll give it a shot.
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

Are you suggesting people post in the suggestions forum?
Suggestions forums are that way! ---->

Everyone knows you can post Suggestions in the Player Questions thread as long as you phrase it in the form of a question:
"What does everyone think of this suggestion?"
Arc 55669 - Tales of the PPD: One Hell of a Deal (video trailer)
Arc 64511 - The Wrecking Ball
Arc 1745 - The Trouble With Trimbles
Arc 302901 - HappyCorpse
Is it possible to have dual bladed ATs have their blades mounted on their backs?
Or maybe make scabbards for the back position so we can use that as a back option and have our swords mounted there.
I guess this could be done for Archery, Assault Rifle and all the other weapon primaries and secondaries (mace, battle axe, etc.)
Am I alone in thinking it would be neat?
