Does anyone else hate the jewelry on their character?

It's great that we have detailed enough graphics that we can see visually what earrings I'm wearing, but they're too big. Combined with the huge necklaces, it just gets to be a bit much.

Could we please have an option to turn jewelry display off? I find it looks decent on some female models but just comical on male models to have these giant dangling earrings and huge necklaces.

I dunno... I kinda like being fabulous.

But yeah, that sounds like a great option for the future. We can opt to show our weapons and helmets/hats, why not our bling?

All my jobs will be wearing the very discrete gathering earrings when the vanity system is released.

I think we don't have enough. I want to look like Mr. T.

Try being a bard, what the heck is my character wearing? :)

Would be cool if the style of the earring changed with the gender your char is. Anyway I like this suggestion.

I'd like a /display off option for every separate piece of armour/accessories that we wear. Sometimes I just don't feel like wearing gloves....

I'll give you the earrings, although those can be hidden by wearing the right type of headgear. The necklaces, however, aren't so much large for looks as function. As many of the NPCs will mention, the purpose of a choker or gorget is to protect the neck. So while they look oversized, that's kind of the point.

That said, more customization options are never a bad thing (as far as I'm aware), so I wouldn't mind seeing this option. Dunno if the dev team would take the time/resources needed to implement it, but it's worth a shot.

just wear equip that cover the accessories

I only dislike earrings because they tend to clash with the ones that my lalafell has from character creator. I'd rather them spend some time fixing the horrible hair clipping than worry about acccessory toggling, though...

Yes, I would love the option to hide choker/earrings.

SE!!!

It would be nice to see some... slimmer versions of necklaces, though! Even just vanity, non-stat gear like the winter coat we have right now. Necklaces on chains and stuff!

I mean, the huge bling on my crafter classes is kind of distracting.

I would love to be able to turn on and off gloves and all jewelry. I love the design of the Tremor earrings, but I hate how they actually look on my character. Too bad they're the only i90 earrings I have for all my classes T_T I also love the Ultima things enough that I like being able to see them.

The hair clipping and the weapon clipping. It's terrible to see the mage staffs clip right thru the middle of hats. I don't remember there being this many clipping issues before in 1.0.

And back on topic? I really just wish they would have more styles of jewelry. You basically get the dangle style, the fang style, or the hoop style for earrings. You get the gorget or leather choker choices for the neck. And yet there's this guild in Ul'dah who supposedly makes amazing and unique pieces that women covet and want to have named after them. Would variety be such a bad thing?

This thread just reminds me that there's so much more they can do aesthetically for us and I for one am in full support of the suggestions posted here. We can use better variations for a jewels, even gender related ones (that aren't locked to the sex your character is.) Not to delve off topic here but something I really want is for them to start managing the hair better..more specifically when we wear hats. I am pretty urked when I put a hat on my Roe and a lot of her hair magically runs away from her head turning it into a pixie cut... I know they fixed some styles but it's definitely occurring still..-_-

I agree with hiding jewelry, Some of us just aren't into that stuff.

kind of wish I could turn off jewelery myself, my character is a grumpy bastard and yet he seems very feminine flashing his nice earrings and necklaces around.

SE, We stay shiny. We got dat bling like "oh my!" And we get it at the flea market for 2.99! ♫

I like this option, I mean really why am I not surprised something like a vanity system is being made complicated. I prefer Runes of Magic method, each slot on your character is literally a check box in the slot if you want it to be visible or not. That's pretty simple there.

This x 1000!

If SE is only going to give us one more option to turn a display off, please let it be the earrings. I can't stand how my tank can look so bad ass, yet have to show him wearing huge dangling earrings because of the stats.

What I actually don't like very much is when equipment like the PLD AF and Myth head pieces override your jewelry with the sword earrings, and that's one of the major reasons I'm really looking forward to the Mirage Prism.

Actually, the possibility of a "blank" slot in the Mirage Prism could cover OP's accessories issue. But it's unlikely that would be implemented, since it'll be perfect for people who like running around naked for every situation.

Bah. I think the should do it anyway. More freedom when it comes to vanity is always best.

While I totally agree on that and would love it, we need to keep in mind it's Squeeny we're dealing with, and they are probably going to talk "about the children" and whatnot, even though they can take off the clothes of their characters when they dance.

Yes, please.

Looks great on Miqote. We have big ears.

I definitely don't like the necklaces, as often times they just stand out and look way too weird. The earrings are very dependent on what I'm playing at the time. I like to imagine when I'm a monk I'm supposed to be all gruff and tough, but I've got these giant crystals dangling from my ears. Yet if I were to play a caster of some sort, I wouldn't mind it so much, adds to the mystique of it a bit more.

an on/off option would be great, I think.
