Hide helmet, check ?

[Audoucet]

I saw something about the hiding helm option, on ideascale, but I don't really consider it an idea, I just consider it a mandatory option, in any serious MMORPG.

So, I just wanted a confirmation from GW, about it. It seems so much obvious that I didn't even think about it, but since someone talked about it in ideascale...

Of course, as always, people will argue about it just like every MMO. So, people against it, if you want to protest, go ahead, that is completely in your right, but every counterargument has been discussed over and over on hundreds of games, so while I don't ask you to not argue, don't expect me to respond to the same old arguments.

All I'm asking is GW's opinion, just to be reassured, and stop thinking about that.

IdeaScale link might be nice.

I think the merit of this depends heavily on how GW does its item slotting. If something like the helmet is a component of the base armor you're wearing, that can be displayed or not, then sure, but if it's a separate item and if you're wearing it, then it should be visible. Your visible gear is important information being conveyed in a PVP setting, hiding that information is problematic.

Honestly, I understand that aesthetics are important, however I also believe that as a player you sometimes must make concessions. Either A: Don't wear a helmet, or B: Craft a pretty helmet.

Deal breaker for me. Hide helmet is mandatory, not optional. I will not play a MMO without it on Day 1, EVER.

Personally, I'd prefer that this not be an option—or that you not get actual bonuses from the items while not wearing them. Dario basically sums up my opinions on the mechanic. Go ahead helmetless when chatting, but in battle, put that sucker on.

I didn't put the link by design, because this idea seems to propose a hiding option for everything, not only the head, which I don't advocate for.

The Idea doesn't seem to propose hiding everything—just "certain body parts". Wait, can I get an option to hide my head? That sounds awesome. I'll work on my laugh.

I don't advocate for it, either, but it's still sensible to link it if you're gonna reference it. :P

I am not referencing it, "to hide various part" is a misleading description which I don't have a desire to promote.

That's a reference. I'm not saying a link needs to be in your post, I was just posting it for convenience.
