Igniteeee Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Am I the only one that thinks hoods not counting in "Hide head slot"(Are unremovable) is kinda dumb? I am a firm believer that if I customize a charachter's features, that I should be able to see them, all the time. Tl;dr: Hoods should be removable.

Gosson Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I dont know if they could make it so when you have a clock where there is a hood on that you can say i want it up or down.. They have meny chest armors that look alike so cant they make a bottum like the hids head one whit hood up or down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aedey Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Ok, well from what I can see how they have done it is quite simple... The hood is merely a head piece... herp derp. All they need to do is a few simple things: 1. When the hood is present (up) nothing really changes. 2. When the hood is selected as down or w/e, then the hood model changes to a folded behind the head look. So in other words they need 1 more model for the hood, which they can take off npc models & just add that as a headslot with some contact points & smart coding so it moves in the right places. In other words make it look normal & not like someone expended an entire can of starch on it. Honestly that would take an experienced coder 10 minutes to knock up. They said the next major update after 1.2. I believe that means 1.3... I'd be asking where it is then? Like I said just up there ^ it's very, very simple to do.

And /thread Since 1.3 seems not to be that "next major update" and they already mentioned they will add match-to-chest options to companions (which they said would come with the hide head slot option to companions), I am going to use my limited deduction skills and assume that the hood toggle will come with these companion abilities so they can implement it all at the same time.

I think it just came down to prioritizing their resources for the greater good and the server transfers/group finder etc. took up more resources than they had planned for. You are probably right about when the hood toggle feature will implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainOfDemise Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'm glad that they are bringing this in game. I know I'd like to show off my lustrous strands of hair once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
