JohnRoy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 http://media-titanium.cursecdn.com/attachments/41/540/deinthk51.jpg In a new screenshot anyway. But not in the game. Please, BW. We have waited for the looks you love to keep showing us for a long time. You know they are cool, clearly, which is why you constantly use them to sell the game. But they are not in the game as of 1.3. They need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgelling Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) That's the Battlelord set right? Hmm, if you wore the Battlelord headgear, wouldn't the hood disappear? It definitely would in the cinematics (and promos) anyway Edited June 7, 2012 by jgelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzoEo Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) 6 months for something which should have been a launch feature. I have no idea why alternate armor models can't be dropped through UT schems. No real dev response to this and why it's takes so long. Every promo video, image, screenshot clearly shows hood down Jedi armor models and still half a year later it's not even in game. Even the video in my sig is down.

It definitely would in the cinematics (and promos) anyway It would disappear, but not go down, and it would cover the eyes. There still is no way to look the way they show you Jedi looking, with their hood down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darka Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Should really just have been /hoodup /hooddown or under the hide head slot option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xshadey Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I just took these from the live server. The feature is in the game, it just seems to only work when I wear this head piece. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-ccQnhH4lylWTNReHdYWV9NVEE https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-ccQnhH4lylWEREeHZhSzdZRTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korusus Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Should really just have been /hoodup /hooddown or under the hide head slot option This reminds me of how BioWare's original plan was not to include the hide head slot option at all. I also noticed in the 1.3 patch notes they're making even more head slot items invisible because of "clipping issues"...same reason they messed with the way the hoods look on caped JK armors. I don't know what's so controversial about the idea that more options =better. Let us unify the chest piece on companions, let us hide companion head slots, let us hide hoods on all armors, why is this all such a big deal and why does it take months, and months, and months to implement? I have seen a lot of people ask for all these things, way more than have ever asked to augment social gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeterno Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I agree that it's a bit perplexing, the whole matter. I mean I'd understand it taking ages if they had to remodel armors etc. etc. but we see from promo stuff they've had the abillity to drop hoods for aaaaaaaages. Prelaunch trailers feature that hoodles jedi battlelord set for crying out loud. Yet for some reason it was too hard to code in a hood up/down button next to the hide head slot. Baffling.

Revelationjp Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 For once today, a valid complaint. In today's rpg's if an npc has it, you should be able to get it. It's really that simple. Your customers don't like to be teased by models that obviously exist but you refuse to give us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IasonEvan Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 BW keeps missing the mark on what players actually want out of customization. We want control of how we look. These are our characters. I want to wear my hood some times and some times not. I want to dye my armor all sorts of colors. Go play the Guild Wars 2 beta this weekend and check out their dye system. Each piece of armor has 3-4 dye channels that you can change the color and texture of each piece of armor independently. If I want my armor to look sueded, I can. If I want my plate mail to look matted, or pearlescent, I can. and then each piece has 3-4 different channels that dye it more than one color and i can pick those independently on each piece.

SykesNinetyTwo Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) There is one robe I have encountered where the hood is down by default and it is a pretty awesome looking robe too. Prototype Baktoid Trellised Jacket Headgear does not affect the hood. The hood is down by default. The hood is actually there and down, it isnt clipped away like other robes + headgear.

SykesNinetyTwo Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I know! It is really disheartening that I can only enjoy this robe for a few more levels. That's why I am just kind of getting my crew skills up right now, I want to use it as long as I can :/. In the Feb 17th Q&A, BW said they are working on the hood up/hood down feature. And that it wouldnt be in 1.2 but should be in the major update after. :/ sadly I dont think it made it to 1.3 haha Edited June 8, 2012 by SykesNinetyTwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambeta Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I have a chest piece/robe that I got from the BT flashpoint that has the hood down. Typical that the Sith get the cool looking stuff. While Jedi's are left looking like prom rejects, unless you're lucky enough to find a complete set of battleborn armour or have enough money/legacy level to get the Guardian legacy armour.

Xienive Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 When you play any video game, mmo, whatever all you are doing is looking at your character most of the time. So at least to me, it is very important to enjoy what my character looks like. I could of sworn I recall them saying hoodup/down was going to be in sometimes after 1.2 and before 1.3 but we have heard nothing about it. We also don't have masks under hoods except of course Sith Warriors and Operative have a couple... Then you still have the stupid looking butts on body type 2 medium and heavy armor robes, and the absolute worst looking hoods of all time on Jedi Knight capes. The lvl 40 Jedi Guardain PVP armor use to look really cool until they changed the hood. Then when they changed the hoods, all the Sith Inq ones had awful clipping issues with their head. The only hoods that looked better changed were Jedi Consular hooods...we still don't have masks so there was no reason they should have thoughg "hmm lets make some hoods look awful and have really bad clipping isues for no reason" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galbatorrix Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 When they add the "Hood Up/Hood Down" feature, I REALLY hope they get rid of the current "Hood Up/Hood Disappears from robe making it a jacket". If my hood is down, I want it draped on my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelFlow Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I agree, I think that this feature is really important... Not just because you look at your character all the time, but since there are extensive RPG features in the game, you (iI hope) get to want your character 'just so'. Let's hope that that this is a 1.4 feature - we're on the right track with all armour being able to be augmented. Let's hope that the next step is no more crazy looking new armour and that the current models have a hood-up/hood down re-make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
