Head equipment display toggle

[Camate]

Greetings!

We are currently giving consideration to having a feature that would allow for the toggling of head gear display and will be running tests for this. Please understand that this is being looked into for head equipment only and not other areas of equipment.

With this feature, there will most likely be requests to make it possible to toggle the hoods on tunic type equipment up and down, but the system for the graphics of these equipment differ from regular head gear which would require additional graphics data, so it will not be possible to do this.

Once I receive updates on the progress regarding this feature I will be sure to let you all know

[Dragoy]

Okay.

Why not. It is fun to see little changes like this are in the brewing.
I guess anything goes if they induce really minor effort!

In any case, I'm not sure what I should do with "would require additional graphics data, so it will not be possible". Well it's not like I don't know this already... so yeah, I'll just shut up... fer now!

Marvelous. Maybe I'd consider obtaining and wearing Raider's Bonnet on my THF if this were in effect!

I am too vain...

*Edit: Whoops! Meant AF3 hat, Raider's!

Sounds neat, actually. But would this merely enable/disable headgear on all characters for the player using it, or make ONLY that player's character appear to not have headgear?

I hope this leads them to look into other customization options, like the /gearlock idea that's been passed around a lot. Basically, you would type /gearlock and whatever gear you're currently wearing is set and doesn't change until you either turn it off or change jobs. So not only would you get to lock in an outfit you really like, it would solve the little annoyances "blinking" causes.

Camate! Since the devs are considering a cosmetic feature like headgear toggling, PLEASE pass the /gearlock idea on to them. If you do, me love you long time.

Yeah I would definitely like to see this. I would rather see my cute hair and face over that ugly bucket on my head anyday.

I like some of my buckets (Menacing Ogier's Elvaan lady gogogo), but yes there are a lot helms that I dont put on until I'm in combat; would rather wear my magnifying specs! 8)

Marvelous. As it is now, I'd rather gimp myself than wear ugly gear.

This bugs me.

This I can definitely get behind. Just something to make some of that headgear easier on the eyes. Brego helm has nice textures, but it's really nothing compared to my pimp hat.

I just wish we had the ability to "morph" one piece of equipment to look like another one. Aion had a great system for this. We wouldn't need to hide items if we could just make them look good, and it would allow for more diverse styles.
