I just want the Black Mage gear Yoshi-P showed off, running around looking like Vivi...and not caring that thousands of other Lalafell conjurers do too, haha.

I would also like this.

I am in favor of gear in yo' face

I am strongly against this being in yo' face

Ragnarok Online (though I hate to bring other games up) had three slots for headgear. They termed the regions 'upper' (for headgear), 'middle' (for glasses/earrings/eye-wear), and 'lower' (for mouthpieces).

While I feel that we don't really need a 'lower' region for headgear, I believe the terms 'upper' and 'middle' sounds slightly more pleasant than 'head' and 'face.'

I'm definitely in support of this ^__^

Though, I won't be wearing any capes. I know, right when I put on a cape I'll be running around and a Goobbue will grab my cape and fling me right into it's mouth.

That's a really good point! I like the sound of those better. Like I said in the OP, "Face" gear does sound a bit silly. Thanks for the input, Forde. :D

Bahaha, yeah. Giving them more places to grab onto would be a horrible idea! :(

But in all seriousness, while capes wouldn't be too bad as long as they're optional (or toggle-able), I'm seeing visions of Guild Wars where everyone had a cape...and I'm not liking it. But as people in this thread noted, there have been plenty of people in previous Final Fantasy games with very attractive "capes," if you will.

Agreed. I want to be able to wear a hat and a wooden mask at the same time. Unless it's a full-on helmet with a visor, then that can take up both slots or whatever.

I've thought about this a lot too. Why can't I wear goggles AND a face mask??

boot to the face, time for some PvP action.

Shameless bump for extra NPCs mocking us players for not being able to wear what they can. This time: Ronan Kognan! Smug bastard, with his cowl AND glasses...

If a feature like this ever does get examined by the devs, I would like them to also consider being able to toggle visors on helmets on or off. Minor cosmetic? sure, but it would a nice touch. If I'm running around town sure I'd like to keep the visor on my celata up, but when its "go time" and I'm about to do some fighting Id want it flipped down. Helmets have hinged visors as part of the design for a reason!

I'm for this, but only if they add a top hat to go with my monocle.

Also, as far as "balance" goes, now would be the time to make this kind of change, while everything is being rebalanced for the new stat growth systems anyway, along with the fact that there isn't much equipment in the game at all currently.

Im fine with this aslong as I can toggle the glasses /off.

Also they need toget rid of the Slot Cost system or raise the cap every few levels.

I absolutely support this idea. I've always wanted the option to add a mask/glasses while wearing headgear as well.

Not sure if this is on topic, but while they're including stuff on adding faceslot.

Has there been any gear release for pouch/pack slots? I think there was one other, but I found it strange I couldn't find any gear for those yet.

Oh please god no. I already spend too much repairing the slots that I have.

As I said in the other thread in this, I want to wear glasses or a mask with my hat. Give it lolstats like the underwear and gimme!

I would prefer Cape over Face.

Since we dont have a Cape slot, i doubt that we will ever see an extra Face slot.

Great idea I want to be able to wear my eye patch and my pirate hat! AAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHH!

I prefer to see we can use all rings, earring, brasalets slits whit no restrictions

im all new for gear slots but slot cost? im really ready for that to go and fast.

I really like this idea!! Would love to have glasses along with, helm or hat!!

I'm 100% with this, even if you equipping both slots blocks the stats off one of them.

Well, as was stated before, it would serve as a purely cosmetic piece, similar to undergarments, meaning it wouldn't lose durability. :p

I would equip a palm in my face slot. *chuckles*

I'm all for more ways to customise character looks, the face slot could purely be an aesthetic equipment slot, im sure there are lots of other slots you could add for aesthetic purposes. Capes, face, hairpin, tunics, tabards lots of different slots you could go for.

I decided to revisit the forums today and I rediscovered this tread! Fabulous.

Also, REMOVE SLOT COSTS!

That way, I can still be wearing glasses, for instance, while I'm wearing a cowl or some sort of hat. Gear such as a Velveteen Sugarloaf Hat (which adds tiny glasses) would display the "face" gear instead, unless specified otherwise using a text command such as /display face off. Helms (which sometimes cover the whole face) would obviously continue to obstruct the "face" gear no matter what, unless of course they decide to implement an option to put up visors, in which case the face gear would become visible.

So SE...am I not allowed to wear glasses all the time? My poor Lalafell eyes are bad enough already; walking around without my prescription glasses would only worsen my eyesight. So please, allow me to wear my glasses all the time. :(

Also, I realize that "face" gear sounds a bit awkward, but it's the only word I could think of that accurately describes the region that this gear would be worn. If anyone has a better idea, please feel free to let me know!

--------------------------------------------------

EDIT (4/23/2011): As Forde noted in this post, the terms "upper," "middle" and possibly also "lower" head gear sound much more appealing. Thanks for the suggestion! :D

Good Idea
I support this :D

I'd rather this than glowing weapons and smileys in the chat log.

Shameless bump because I edited a picture of myself as an example. :cool:

i'd say the more slots ..the more gear collecting, the more fun. specially when they get ride of this slot points cost.

gimmie the face/head like the op suggested, also more rings, earings, maybe necklaces can have more charms on them like many teeth lol. anything that they can think of to add more to each class to me is fun and exciting.

I agree, along with the OP aswell.

*signs name to roster* I agree...

I don't know weather this has been already mentioned or not but if you are able to have two slots to equip gear in, it will become a necessity. Perhaps Head 1 and Head 2 and you only get the benefit from Head 1, and Head 2 will just be for the appearance?

I am 100% for this, especially now that I finally bothered to get the Nighthawk Visor. If I could wear that and a mage hat, I'd look like Darkwing Duck.

Please SE, let me be the terror that flaps in the night.

I've been complaining about this since Alpha. It's rather irritating and nonsense that I can't wear a hat and glasses... and THEN I see an NPC doing it! Infuriating, really.

I support this idea! Actually i asked this already a while ago...to add facegear slot as accessory so stuff like masks, eyepatches, spectacles and other would become accessory, being then allowed to equip with headgear.

They could add slots to allow various headgear combinations and let you pick the one you want stats from.

I say you should have it not just head and face, but split that into more catagories. For example: Head (hat, helmet etc) eyes (goggles, glasses) and mouth (mask, scarf)

Personally, I think there is potential for some great combos there :)
