/hood

Tanks and Dragoons get /visor

I would love it if Healers and Casters had a /hood emote, some of the gear either has the hood up or down by default and it would be really nice to be able to switch between the two.

Also how much cooler would the Cleric's Robe look with the hood up.

Also a /sigh would be great.

I forget if it was Beta or right after launch, but this already came up and won't happen. The way the robe is designed it simply wouldn't work, according to the dev's. Mainly due to the fact the Robe is body armor and would be clashing with the head piece equipped.

all classes can /visor, some gear works with it some don't.

Still there is a chance to make it happen. Lets take the Healing Robe for example. While having /hood activated (the hood up) the head piece would vanish under the hood itself or being replaced with a mesh that fits with the hood. I think it's not that hard to manage IF the developers would give it a try.

Oh I never saw the Devs feedback on that, i'm sure there must be a way around it though. Bet still it would be a good option for the gear that has the hood up as well, I hated having my hood up when I was low level, but thats because the hoods were kinda bland.

Well they said no to robes with existing hoods on them, but what of the new equipments that are just hoods? Would be interesting to see an option for them /visor=/hood to maybe show your face, or bring them down. Especially since it is it's own equipment separate from the body pieces.

If they made it into a simple vanish act then yeah it might be doable on a model swap or something. Although I don't see them making any actual motion, as they would have to account for the head piece equipped as well as the hair (which probably doesn't exist when you have the 'hood up' robes equipped). It also comes down to what their program allows them to do, it might not have the check boxes or w/e to register this properly (very far from an expert on this stuff, not claiming to be, just giving my point of view).

This could be an option, make a head glamour that are standalone and maybe ones that fit current hood-down pieces like WHM AF. Although I think pre-hooded robes are still quite stuck due to the slots taken in the equipment.

From what I understand the poetics casting head does just this. use the /visor command adjusts the hood a bit. it won't take it completely off and behind but it does let eyes be seen.

A long time ago we wanted to know if this could be a thing, and basically for the same reason they haven't figured out how to glamour Odin's armour yet, they can't do hoods that fold down. It's something in the basic rendering of gear that makes it fuck up. they couldn't get it to work and so they appologised and moved on to more critical things. limited time frame and all.

Wether they could make it work given more time and focus is debatable, they know a lot more about their systems than we, so what seems simple to us could require some deep recoding in the rendering engine, which isn't feasible for many reasons.
