DackVadnais Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 With the armor cutomization feature that was recently added in game update 1.2 i was expecting a solution to this problem but the only thing cutomizable was the color scheme of your armor. Sure there is the hide head slot function but it doesn't do any good when the hood is part of your chestpiece armor and every piece of jedi gear in the game forces you to wear a hood. I swear we all look like ezio from assassin's creed with every jedi in game wearing a hood and it's frustrating because if your a trooper you could just remove your helmet or use the hide headslot function but every jedi in game doesn't have a choice so a toggle funtion would be the perfect solution and would make for a more diverse play experience for everyone. Sincerly, Dack Vadnais Jedi Knight who hasn't seen his hair since level 12 and is probably in desperate need of a haircut, ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_McMan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 This idea has gotten a lot of attention on the forums since the game launched. The long and short of it is that a hood-toggle ability IS coming. Possibly in patch 1.3, possibly later. Bioware is aware of the issue though and they are going to address it. Also, you should be able to toggle your companion's hood up and down as well once the hood-toggle is added. As an aside, I'm with you. I've wanted a hood-toggle since day one. We'll get it. Just might be another month or two... maybe three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axvil Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 He picked it off a dead jedi? But yeah, the perma-hood thing was blehh.. on my Sentinel, I used a smuggler chest piece (orange gear, Str mods) between 15-50, so I could actually see my face/hair. Then my alt finally got an "Aspiring Jedi Vestment" design, w00t-w00t.. hood-down, no sleeves, bare midriff jedi armor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just might be another month or two... maybe three. First, Support for the request. The hoods has been annoying me from day one on. Second, I find this patronizing wait-forever-and-be-silent fanboi attitude of yours problematic. That issue should have been on solved 1.0 and it isn't there 2 game updates later. These hoods should not even EXIST! We are not Sheep. I pay subscription money NOW, and this one of the numerous and completely unnecessary small issues that make me a less than happy customer.

AislingKerrigan Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm not sure if anyone noticed but in 1.2 they improved the look of some hoods. Atleast I've been noticing them on my female characters. That means they are at least already working on re-tooling some of the visuals so it wouldn't be a huge stretch for them to also design a 'hood-down' look. I think a dev posted a while back that they're working on it and that you'll also be able to toggle hood/helm for your companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collapsewithin Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 i'd like to see some additional looks for jedis as well. a hood toggle would be a nice option. so would some gear that doesnt have hoods at all. ive got head pieces that ive never even seen what they look like.

MarkusBiggus Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hood down or no hood gear would be very nice. Even in the movies, hood up is the least common way to wear the robes. I went to a lot of trouble choosing the right hair and horns, I want to show them off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonDarklight Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 if this option (hood up/down) will be implented in the 1.3, it ill take 4 or 5 months... 8 months for a simple option? Like someone told before, this option and many other (chattbubbles for example) must be in game since release day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraze Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 This would be awesome. I wouldn't count on it though, since BW seems extremely hesitant when it comes to helmets/hoods and whatnot. If only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bielduwyn Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's coming, but I guess it doesn't hurt to support this topic in the hopes of speeding the process up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORTTUUM Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just for the heck of it, and because I was tired of looking at the back of a hoodie, I picked up the Smugglers' Orange RD-series chestpiece (cape) for my Sentinel, and just swapped-in all the bits from my Orange (brown, yuck) Jedi robe. Looks GREAT ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloredearth Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I also want to add my voice to the din: Please enable a hood up or down toggle for both characters and companions. This is obviously separate from the head slot, as hoods come with the chest piece. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdanBaruq Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Would like this as well. Not sure why it has to be more complicated or take more time than coming up with some crazy augment table. I'd be willing to keep living with bubble butt longer if could just pull the hood up and down on my otherwise nice looking cloak lol Didn't spend 10-15 minutes picking appearance (and having to start over because it afk logged me out) plus the deciding on horns and hair just to not ever see it again past level 10-12 I made his brother recently to but of course same problem sentinial side and that nice look picked out that actually adds some visual characterization to the character is ruined by a dang hood.... I want to see my hair and horns! Be nice to pick out a nice headband type piece and be able to show it to lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonnn Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 If this is on-the-way then that is awesome. I think everyone should be ready with a "Praise The Makers" for when fun features are added. Any Zabrak Jedi knows, it depends on how you feel that day, whether you want have your hood up or down, and being able to switch the hood to up or down at any moment would be quite choice.
