xKiesix Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've said it once, and I'll say it again--the Twi'lek lekku and hat/hood problem needs to be addressed. I've read the upcoming patch notes, and it says NOTHING about fixing it. Devs have not commented on a single of the several threads about lekku problems. It's as though you are ignoring the problem--but it needs to be dealt with. As it is, this is VERY sloppy. Lekku are not hair, but they aren't immobile either. They should never disappear with a hat, nor should they stick out of one as though they are horns. I understand this is a lot of programming, but considering a month has passed by and there still is no word on the possibility of fixing it at some point, it's starting to aggravate a LOT of players. I love playing my Jedi consular and loved the Twi'lek story. I'd hate to have to reroll just because none--and I mean NONE--of the headgear works. But considering I really love the aesthetics of the Consular, this may become a possibility. Please Bioware, at least address us. This really is my only real problem with the game.

Trollharpy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 im not trolling here, but how do you expect headgear to work with twileks? they have huge tentacle things coming out of the back of their head. even headgear that creates a nominally larger sized headspace interferes with a hood and removes the hood visual, not to mention crazy twilek tentacles. the only other option is to have two holes in the back of the hood, which would look ridiculous. im not sure what the solution is.

RJMazz Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Twi'leks wrap their lekkus around their neck if they need to use a hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excise Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Personally I find having the lekku stick through hats/hoods looks fine. Just makes it look like there's convenient holes there for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a hood, lekku can sit on the shoulders like you see with Oola. Hats should cover the cones but have some kind of hole or slit where the lekku root is. If it's like a cowboy hat, it should just come out of the bottom of it like hair would. If there is a back cover to the hat, lekku should fall beneath the cover. There's actually a whole hell of a lot you can do with them. They aren't stiff. Several Twi'leks in lore wrap them around their necks, have them cover their shoulders, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes it look like there's convenient holes there for them. They aren't horns. It makes no sense to cut holes for them, because the lekku would be fluidly moving in and out of the holes--which would cause them some friction pain.

laparkuh Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hoods don't look right on most Miraluka head styles either. About half of the eye coverings stick through their hoods when shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that Zabraks have a similar problem. Honestly, I support aesthetic fixes to all races. It's like they made humans the base and tried to apply them to the alien races.

It's actually terribly sloppy. Anyone on the outside looking in is going to dismiss this game as bad programming and not even play it. People have forgone playing Twi'leks BECAUSE of the hat issue. Several threads have been created by other users about it. With that much of a response, it's no longer minor and must be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kthx Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 It's interesting to note that many of the replies in this thread completely ignore economics. There are limited resources for development. Would you rather spend those resources on creating unique artwork for each race or would you rather spend them on other features? BioWare has decided on the latter, and I feel that is a wise decision. I am perfectly fine with the status quo in regards to headwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grezgorz Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I envision something like how equipment changes appearance between factions. Start with 2 or 3 aesthetically appealing head armours that work with Twi'lek and assign every headpiece in the game to change to one of those appearances when worn by a Twi'lek.

spellegren Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I have 2 level 50 Twil'leks and I can honestly say that I don't care about hoods and helms even a tiny bit. They have much bigger fish to fry then worrying about appearance issues on a single race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have much bigger fish to fry then worrying about appearance issues on a single race. I have to agree with this. I know this thing bothers some people, and is rather immersion-breaking, but this isn't NEARLY as serious or as widespread as some of the other issues the devs are facing right now. I wouldn't look to see this fixed anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Kthx performed necromancy on it, this thread hadn't been alive since January. If the OP is still playing, it's reasonable to assume they're annoyed by some of the game's other issues as well by now.

Jakkosh Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I dont think people would mind as much, if a reply was given as to wether this was going to happen or not. An explanation would be gratefully recieved, wether its positive or not. I heard the hood toggle was coming, so why not just allow hoods (even with clipping) for twi'lek in the same patch. That would cater for " economics" and "bigger fish to fry" and still please alot of customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last activity was 5/16 and last post was a month ago, so I think it's safe to assume she is still active, however, not very reasonable to assume that she is annoyed by any other issues unless she says so herself.

Otherwise, this request probably is low on the totem pole (as well as it should be), there are many other more important issues and features that need to be implemented ahead of cosmetics.

Chrysantemum Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I would just like the option of having the twi'leks simply wear a hood or helmet, despite that their lekku stuck out. If a player doesn't like it, he and she can always turn off the helmets and everybody's happy. Just give us the choice. I'm more worried about my twi'lek bounty hunter, though. Every time she uses her jetpack, she sets her Lekku on fire. Then again, that just makes her more bad-***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no explanation as to what happened. You know, I thought someone else had posted before you did too, yet said post is gone. *shrug* Doesn't matter much though, it's still true that twi'leks are a bit shafted when it comes to headgear and it still bothers people. Have a friend who stopped playing her Assassin because it bothered her actually. Personally not a huge fan of twi'leks, but I can understand the frustration of people who are. And with every other thread being a whine about the game dying or Stephen Reid getting the boot, this makes for a nice change. Edit: I should probably apologize, I didn't mean to blame or criticize you for necro'ing the thread, though that's how it turned out. I just wanted to point out that the thread wasn't new and it was certainly possible OP is aware of and care about newer issues.
