llesna Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Hello all, Like many Jedi Knight players, I find myself having to choose unfortunately between combat effectiveness and aesthetics for my Jedi, since I have hitherto been unable to find a heavy armour hoodless robe. I have found myself taking a look at some hoodless medium armour items and even the light armour consular robes. Consequently I found myself wondering what other players do to get around this design oversight. So, what do you do to work around the issue of a lack of hoodless robes? (If you're a sith who has trouble finding hooded robes, please feel free to talk about that here too!) Kind regards llesna Edited May 3, 2012 by llesna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminminU Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Aspiring Knight's Vest is a good option for not having a hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llesna Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Aspiring Knight's Vest is a good option for not having a hood. That's one of the medium armour options I've looked at From what I have gathered, a lot of players gravitate towards armour like that.

Darth_Eminok Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I actually wish my sith had MORE hoods... wah... how can I RP my character correctly if I'm going to be stopped with not being able to find a hood/helmet combination that won't make the hood go poooooof!!!!!

Sarakk Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Hood toggle is something that needs to be implemented by Bioware soon. No later than 1.3 I hope. This is a huge issue for us force-wielders. Edited April 30, 2012 by Sarakk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggler Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 i like the hood on my agent and the helmet too but unfortunatly the nice helm is buggy my nose and part of my head are sticking out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjkishida Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 doesn't the "hide head armor" toggle remove both your head armor and hood? could be wrong on that tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llesna Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) doesn't the "hide head armor" toggle remove both your head armor and hood? could be wrong on that tho... Nope. The hood stays whatever you do, unless you're a twi'lek I believe. Edited May 3, 2012 by llesna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llesna Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) lawlz. Is it so very hard to believe that some people consider this important? Just consider how many people have quit over guild, LFG or PvP issues. Why should the lack of customisation in-game be any different?

Jandi Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The hood toggle is coming. When, I don't know. My hope is that it will include Twi'leks as well and they will make it so the lekku come out the front like they are supposed to. It's quite obvious some of the models were designed with them in mind but then later they changed their minds for whatever reason. Now, some of the smaller hoods just make the lekku clip through from the back, making it look completely amateurish and stupid. The thing that baffles me is that it seems so hard for them to do right. I don't know if it's an issue with the hero engine, but for the engine Skyrim uses it's rather easy to make hoods with hair coming out the front sides. It just needs to take your settings in terms of markings/skin colour into account. No different from helmets or armor that take these things into account.

Kthx Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 This is a huge issue for us force-wielders. If we don't get this option in soon, I don't see myself subscribing for long. I'm always amazed at the things that matter to people. Obviously you are entitled to your own choices and we all derive gaming satisfaction in different ways, but I can't say I understand this at all.

It's the whole "If I don't get my way i'm going to quit" argument..... well played sir.... well played.... Edited April 29, 2012 by Monoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llesna Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) ROFL..... So the whole reason for you playing this game will be based on a hood.... now thats funny.... Some people base their gaming on PvP. I find that equally amusing to be brutally honest. What is important to one person is completely unimportant to another and vice versa. For people who want customisation in-game and want to be able to play their characters the way they want to play, such relatively minor aesthetic issues are vitally important. Please try to remember that whilst we all play the same game, we don't have the same wants from it. Edited May 3, 2012 by llesna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand people requesting stuff in game no issue there.... I do have issue with the whole "Do as I say or I quit" argument that 99% of people don't follow through on.... its like there trying to create drama out of a non drama issue.... But hey more power to them.... Edited April 29, 2012 by Monoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey more power to ya.... i agree with you on the scare tactic ppl try to use about saying they are going to quit, but i disagree on the barbie statement - its been a long known fact that ppl personify themselves in game and "RP" and they want their character to look as much like how they want to look in that fantasy environment as they possibly can. The OP envisions how he would look in the star wars universe and with the star wars IP, there really isnt any reason to deny someone that option. listen i agree with the OP, i get it, but yes, i do believe there are better ways to go about it instead of threatening to quit.

llesna Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) If that is the make or break issue then I suggest you probably don't enjoy the game too much anyway. Some people (note: not myself) feel very strongly about issues to the point where such issues can actually completely detract from the enjoyment of a game. Consider how many players know they would enjoy ME3, for example, but are avoiding it on account of knowing that the ending is awful (even if they don't know exactly what the ending is). You can enjoy a game but feel unable to play it when enough issues creep up on your enjoyment of it. At least, that's how many find it.

Blackholeskipper Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 This is a huge issue for me as well since customization and RP are very important to me. Seems like a very easy fix. I've been playing Bioware games for a while now and usually I just get mods to fix these issues. People make mods that fix issues like this all the time, and very quickly at that (days or weeks at most). I don't see why a game with a huge budget is struggling with basic things like this. If this was a single player game there'd be a mod out in a day. I don't see why it should be different for an MMO. I'm still sticking with this game for the long run though. Right now I just wear crappier armor that I like. I pick looks over stats and it doesn't affect gameplay TOO much. And people this is an RPG, there's hundreds of threads whining about pvp imbalances, why not go troll there? Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimkmknight Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I refuse to create a Jedi Knight character until they fix the hood issue and the big booty issue. Which sucks, because I really want to make a JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suromir Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 what I USED to do was wear a headpiece that covered my eyes only....took off the hood...showed correct hair et al. now the same armor the hair defaults to baldheaded cornrows instead of the proper hairstyle..thanks to something they did in 1.2 I doubt they'll address it.
