Unify Colours/Hide Head Slot for Companions

[Thaegul]

The title says it all. The current system works great with PCs, and humanoid companions desperately need it. My Sith looks chromatically balanced with whatever he wears, while Andronikus... doesn't. Plus, sometimes, headgear is preferred hidden. The system we have now is great, I'm just asking to extend it. The advantages are obvious.

Thank you.

Keep up-to-date on developer communication. This is already planned.

But it requires so much less time and energy to make a post about it than do any real legwork on the matter.

I fully support this.

 

And to the negative posters saying that is has been announced, no time frame has been given. Consequently, people making posts such as these give a visible sign to the devs that this is something that people are interested in and that they shouldn't just keep on the backburner.

First, how is noting that something has already been announced "negative?"

 

Second, continually pestering the developers and community about such things by continually creating new threads on a topic will have no effect whatsoever as to when it is implemented. The developers already know the interest among the community for features such as these. They are also capable of weighing the relevance of these features alongside the other tasks they have to work on. It is extremely conceited to claim to know better than the developers in regard to these topics, as only they have access to the metrics, reports, and long-term objectives required to make such a determination. It is foolish to think otherwise.

Posts that add nothing constructive to a suggestions thread (or any thread) and just insult the thread's existence can be considered negative, especially when they try to dishearten the author for having made it without consulting every single thing that developers have said, both on the site itself and all developer outlets.

 

Secondly, developers often read these threads, as Bioware has claimed itself. Consequently, enough demand for a certain feature is a reminder of how important it is to customers. To believe that developers can allow themselves to live entirely in a world devoid of player feedback is an outdated notion. We're not quite at a democracy, but to suggest that players should just be quiet on issues is in itself foolish.

This. Stressing the desire in the community for such features might accelerate the process.

 

But, you are right. I should have searched more throughly. But sometimes it is hard to track everything and in doubt you'd better post as suggestion (if it isn't planned you're contributing to making them think about, it if is there are people to point it out and everybody is happy). Glad to hear it is already planned.

No, that's called an informative response.

Where did I say we shouldn't provide developers with feedback? I'm fairly certain I did not say that at all.

 

Repeated posts for a feature or on a topic on these boards does not indicate demand. If anything, repeated threads on a topic do the opposite; if users cannot be bothered to locate and post in an existing thread for a topic, they must not truly have any interest in that topic. It must not truly be important to them, because they can't even take the time to put forth a little effort to see what has already been addressed.

 

By all means, we should provide feedback. But there's no reason to start a new thread for a topic that has already been discussed over and over again.
