Class Specific Equipment: Warrior Head Piece

I'm not quite sure where exactly to post this or what the exact Dev Tag would be but here's posting something hoping it reaches at least the moderators.

One of the things that have been bothering me lately is the Warrior's (Marauder's) Class Specific Equipment as shown here:

Specifically the head piece to the warrior's set. I'm sure other people have spoken up about and have made suggestions, but what I would really like is to have the face plate on that helm down. This will of course hide the face, but I feel that if I wanted to see my face anyway, I'd just put in the /display head off command in the log. I think the Warrior's armor gets its intimidating feel taken away by having the face plate on the armor up like that and seeing the characters face. I think it would be much more intimidating if a Warrior was charging at me with a Axe with a helmet like that covering the face.

I know some people have made the suggestion of coming up with some command to raise or lower the flap. Much like how people want to be able to toggle the hood display on the White Mage's robe. But, sadly, I don't think this will happen. I just want the Warrior set to look really cool and bad ass. And I think this can be accomplished by lack of any other method, to just make the helm as a full helm. Flap down and all. Anyways, that's my 2 gil.

I'm sorry if this has been beaten to death.

Not having a skirt would also be nice.

I'd like to see the faceplate down as well, I think there's a community rep comment somewhere about how the devs would like to make available the ability to raise and lower hoods/face masks in the future, but it sounded more like a 2.0 feature than anything we'll see over the next year.

Mask looks down in that video, maybe they'll give everyone a choice when obtaining the armor? Or maybe they just put it down after everyone saw that picture and wanted it down lol

I think a dev responded in a different thread that they are looking into letting us put hoods and face-plates up and down in 2.0.

This already been stated that they will make adjustments to warriors mask and white mages hood.. server limitations prevent this.....

yeah would definetely look better like the op says, altought my character is ugly enough to have that intimidating appeal :D

Damn, those must be some tough Dodos O_O

Edit: Are there videos for the other jobs?

I know that the server limitations prevent us from toggling the face plate/hood, but I think they should make the static model of the helm with the face plate down. If the limitations prevent us from toggling the way it looks, then in my opinion, the face plate should be down by default. And if we want to see our face, we can just /display head off

Totally agree with shadow, the helm should be down all the time and GET RID OF THE SKIRT PLEASE YOSHI PEE!

I don't think there would be anything stopping us from being able to toggle gear into doing certain actions.

There's already animated models in the game, you could have a console command that does that for our equipment.

But what it is is the server side thing they were talking about.

You have to have two separate data for the hood/helmet being up or down. On top of that, the 5 different races plus both genders. It's a lot. I think it'd be best if they'd just wait till 2.0 for that.

But I do agree with everyone else, I'd rather have the helmet down, it looks sick.

Yes, having 2 different helmets is way too much for the servers to handle.

I wonder if the mods have read this post and brought it up to the devs ? >.>

Nope, it's an issue animating the head gear meaning they can't make a motion of it going up and down (much like the mogfork). Due the restrictions of the graphic's engine they cannot animate anything besides weapons for whatever stupid reason. They could easily make it so you can use a command to switch between the way the game currently is.

Mask down yes please! Make it happen!
