Thanks for the eye patch facewear, but one small problem

Thank you for adding eye patch facewear!

But It will cover the wrong eye on my character. She needs an eye patch for her LEFT eye.

Please, you NEED to give us the option to change which eye it covers!! Monocles as well.

It'd be funny if we later got a second monocle / eyepatch item, just for the other eye.
As a fun bit of trivia, the eye patch on the Lv88 Ar-Caean Velvet Caps - while the same model as the Neo-Ishgardian set - is flipped to the other eye!

Really wondering why they had to make a whole new system for facewear instead of just flagging existing glasses, eyepatches, etc. to fit in the face slot. Load of items I'd like to use, but nope. Was it spaghetti code? Forced player engagement?

The opportunity to sell us old assets as new items.

I agree. I hope it won't take 2 years for them to implement another one.

Finally, I can wear an eyepatch on each eye.

I was just about to suggest that this is what's going to happen. Wear the eyepatch headgear, while also wearing the other eyepatch facewear. I cannot wait to see somebody chilling out in Ul'Dah with this look.

I think a "mirror" option for head items and facewear, similar to /visor, would be great. I like to cover one of my character's eyes, too, so I also encounter this problem fairly regularly. Being able to mirror items would fix this, and would also allow people to wear corsages, off-center hats, etc on the other side of their head if desired. I'm sure most people have, at least once, tried on a head item and noticed that it would stop clipping with their hairstyle, or even just match their outfit better, if they could flip it.

I hope so too, been asking for this since they announced facewear as a feature. Great that they finally did it, but still super disappointed.

That's a cute picture. It would be nice if they shifted over maybe someday. They always slip in little QoL here and there.

(Edit)

Are you missing an Eye in real life or is it part of your character roleplay?

I'm wondering if the eyepatch(es) will have left/right options once unlocked, and they simply didn't show/mention them. When you unlock facewear it comes with a whole bunch of color options, I would be surprised if they didn't do something similar here but with giving you the choice on which eye to cover.

Aw thank you! Just my character. I just have annoying astigmatism IRL, nothing serious.

we dont know how many head accessories we get though.

the forum is early to complain as always

We need 1 for each eye, and then we need an option for both eyes. If Runescape can do it, so can we, dammit!

Maybe they should use the visor setting to let you change it.
Left eye, right eye..... both eyes! lol

I doubt that the inventory system lets things be multiple categories at the same time, and there are lots of headwear pieces with actual stats that can't just be changed to go in a different cosmetic slot instead.

I don't think the facewear slot can do /visor either, so they need to remain in the headwear slot if they use that option.

Also, given the limited dye choices of the facewear, just moving the original item to facewear would cut people out of being able to use the wider range of dyes on the headwear version.

still no mustage and clown nose face wear?

For those days you are feeling a little extra piratey.

I think they will be adding more than just those two face wear in the screenshot. So hopefully there is an eyepatch for the left eye in this patch.

I know a friend of mine also uses an eye patch. I'd say something positive about them being able to use hats with their eyepatch now, but she is a Viera.
At least the cutscenes that remove hats won't take her eyepatch away anymore.

It still means she'll be able to combine facewear with the Viera-compatible headgear like hoods and hairpins.

I'm hopeful, if only because last time we had facewear additions, it was more than the only one shown in patch notes.

I am glad we're getting the eyepatches already, hope they keep adding to it

I've long dreamed of this day and it's finally happening!!!!

Hurray! There was a left eye version! Made a stink about nothing! Thank you!!

There seems to be separate versions of both a left and right sided one... And I decided to test with previewing gear...

You seem to be able to wear both an eyepatch headpiece and facewear.
