Am I stuck w/ Crab Backpack??

I was experimenting with an alternate build for my Bane Spyder, playing with a Crab build. Once I had done this, the crab backpack shows up on all my costumes, and can't be gotten rid of. Is this really worked as intended?

If so, I would normally just accept the inevitable: Except the character's name is BANE SPIDER!

Sigh....

You took the dangerous, invasive surgery and had this device grafted onto your nervous system - Sorry, there are no doctors willing to remove it.

Yes, unfortunately, you are stuck with the backpack. That particular 'feature' has been discussed, with varying levels of outrage, since the inception of Crabs. It's too bad that you didn't copy the character to Test and do the experiment There, first. It's faintly possible that Customer Service can 'retcon' you back to before the pack, but I've never heard of that happening.

Be Well!

Considering that the entire schtick behind the Crab Spider is the Crab Spider backpack, you kind of should've expected to get it. I think as long as you respec and make sure you have zero crab spider powers in either of your builds, it'll go away.

Sad to hear. Did I just miss the warning label?

Normally, I would just play Crab, but as I said, the alt's name is Bane Spider. If I can't get it changed it will be my first L50 character deletion.

I can report that I successfully respecced out of the Crab Spider alternate build into a Wolf Spider build, and the backpack went away!

Perhaps a QoL change? Was pretty sure I had tried this before to no effect. Anyway, if someone else has this problem, try a respec out of the Crab into something else.
