michaelra Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I never played as an Inquisitor before during the beta tests and wondering whether there is an option to turn off the hood? Or is it part of the armor/robe that we wear? Just want to see my pretty-face on every cutscenes Edited December 14, 2011 by michaelra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychatogSith Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I believe it was in the beta, although I'm not currently playing so I can't verify this. If it is present it should be somewhere under the options menu-character-then make sure you uncheck show helm or head slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yeah, they ought to change that one) But so far as I know you can't toggle hoods on and off. Only head armor. Hoods are typically part of your chest armor.

michaelra Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Yes, I read about this on their FAQ page (or an interview) somewhere Was wondering since a hood practically umm.. comes together with the robe (not separated), I wonder whether that option works for hoodie-robe kind of thing UPDATE: Ah.. typing my reply before a reply was posted above Edited December 14, 2011 by michaelra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiperX Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes, I read about this on their FAQ page (or an interview) somewhere Was wondering since a hood practically umm.. comes together with the robe (not separated), I wonder whether that option works for hoodie-robe kind of thing UPDATE: Ah.. typing my reply before a reply was posted above There are some chest pieces for them where the hood is automatically included. Didn't like it in my first beta because I was a twi'lek and they had the lekku's basically go right through it. Thanksgiving beta I didn't play a twi'lek one for that reason, although my SI is now a twi'lek and I hope that the hoods stay down on them.

skweez Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm kind of bummed about not having a hood yet. Level 10 one of the vendors sold me a chest peace with a hood, I remember how happy I was. Now 10 in the live build, he doesn't sell me a hood . So sad. That's all.

Starrybell Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Can anyone confirm that in the games current state Twi'lek hoods and all head armor are just automatically turned off? When I played the last beta and received a hood on my armor I could have sworn it made my original headband disappear all together and that was it. That was very disappointing to me and since then has made me second guess my decision on playing a Twi'lek. I want a choice to see the armor I work to get..

Negativity Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 You can turn off your head slot item, however, some armor types have actual hoods which cannot be turned off. Very annoying since i typically always have head slots off and now i have a hood i can't turn off; or stleast couldn't find a way in beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildroni Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 We got a blue Robe drop from Black Talon last night that came with the hood up - Human Inquisitor won it and it was there when she popped it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coiffio Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yeah this disappointed me as twi'lek was the race I used in swg and they were able to wear helmets and hoods just fine (for hoods their lekku were swept forward to rest along their chest and various helmets came with holes in them) Granted the lekku there had no physics so maybe I'm just nitpicking. Still not having that option for the character made me just reroll to a rattataki assassin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aukora Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 In the 12/2 beta, I played an SI and I think I ended up with an Orange robe from doing the Black Talon flashpoint. I don't remember a way to kill the hood but it had a hood that was up on it. Most of the other robes I've seen had the hoods down by default when I was leveling.

MareLooke Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I believe it was in the beta, although I'm not currently playing so I can't verify this. If it is present it should be somewhere under the options menu-character-then make sure you uncheck show helm or head slot. While what you say is true hoods don't count as helmets so they are still shown even with this toggle off. As far as I am aware there is no way to get rid of the hood other than getting a moddable piece of gear without a hood. In case a dev would be reading this: I vote for a hood toggle independent from the helmet toggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unborn Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 they can do it because all they did for twi'leks was make the hood part of robes invisible. Currently if u equip a robe that's supposed to have a hood your default headband if you're a twi'lek will dissappear as if you had a hood on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahruna Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Does anyone else hate their default headband now that they have access to head slot gear? My headband is clipping really bad with the (rather cool) head piece that I have. I wish there was an option to turn off display of our headbands...that don't even match my black gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordariun Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It would be very handy to have a hood option toggle for those armor sets for jedi/sith to make it hood on and off. gives more feel to the game. maybe make it availabvle for the orange elite gear to turn the hood on or off. We have it for headgear in the options, but not for armor types. For the DEV team this would make the feel of playing a jedi or sith cooler.

Daellia Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Holy thread necro, Batman! (Seriously, Nordariun, the last post before yours was from 2.5 months ago!) By the way, a "show hood" option is supposed to be on the "To-Do" list for the dev, according to one of their recent Q&A's.

thewitchdoctor Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I would love to turn my twi'lek's headband off. And I would KILL to have hoods back! I was seriously disappointed when the game went live and I no longer had a hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
