Alternate weapons equipped appear on back?

Just a small suggestion, but if like in LOD you can switch to alternate equipped weapons in D3, they should be visible on one's back.

Re: Alternate weapons equipped appear on back?

I think that would be a definite plus. When I first figured out how the weapon-tab worked, my first thought was "Wait, where is he keeping those swords?!". A good swapping animation instead of simply swapping the weapon models on-the-fly would be nice too. Imagine a warrior with a spare shield and sword across his back, wouldn't want to cover it up with a cape/cloak (imagining a paladin-type, a rogue/stealth character would look awesome with a spare bow on their back).

In short, I like it!

It would look nice indeed, and would make more sense then how it is right now

Re: Alternate weapons equipped appear on back?

sounds great, but i'm not sure how it would look with a Polearm or a pike on the back of your character? Maybe they should just ignore those types of weapons, but it would be kind of silly, if the other weapons are visible on one's back and they weren't. Any ideas?

Re: Alternate weapons equipped appear on back?

Definitely agree with that - it would work with any of them, though if you have a big pike on your back you might need to be careful of low ceilings?

Actually showing the character swapping weapons over I can already picture, would worry about delays though...
