Argolisk Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 REJOICE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS. This is taken directly from the 2/17 Community Q&A Segment: NiklasWB: When will you make it possible for Force-using characters to pull up/down their hoods on their robes? Damion Schubert: This is in the works now. It won't be in Game Update 1.2, but should get done in the next major update after that. And yes, we will extend this functionality to your Force-slinging companions as well. Our prayers are answered. Its coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoshiRaphElan Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I haven't gotten a hood yet...but I guess this is good? I like hoods. But the option to have it up/down is definitely a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argolisk Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Apparently Chat Bubbles are on their way too. I am a happy, happy Jedi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimgrey Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Oh, heck yes. And one answer up from that says they'll be putting in the option to hide companion headgear. No more mandatory silly hats for Kira! Edited February 18, 2012 by Grimgrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravrohan Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Now maybe we can get some headway on the Jedi robe bubble butt issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockysRevenge Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 That's great news! I wonder if that means they fixed facemasks too. Revan looks silly with his mask on without the hood up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noviere Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 This is great news! Kind of makes me want to play another character until it happens though... I believe they said that 1.2 is coming in March, and since this won't be in 1.2... April-May at the earliest? Bah... I need to stop being negative. It's coming, and that's all that matters!

Merwanor Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I haven't gotten a hood yet...but I guess this is good? I like hoods. But the option to have it up/down is definitely a good idea. When you do get a hooded armor, you will probably never see your hair again. I am happy they are actually going to implement a hood toggle. I cancelled my sub this month because of this issue and will not return until it is fixed. I like the hoods to, but not all the time and especially not when I partake in cutscenes.

ShockSJW Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 When this is added and the shelf-butt issue is fixed, I'll love my JK all the more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiklasWB Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm so freaking happy now! Not only because they confirmed that we will get the hood up/down option fairly soon, but also becuase they picked my verion of the question to post in the Q&A. I know, vanity, but yeah, I'm happy. NiklasWB: When will you make it possible for Force-using characters to pull up/down their hoods on their robes? Damion Schubert: This is in the works now. It won't be in Game Update 1.2, but should get done in the next major update after that. And yes, we will extend this functionality to your Force-slinging companions as well. Oh, and Kira will be able to show off her hairstyle again as well! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also ecstatic over this. Now, let's start splitting hairs: he says the next major update after 1.2... all signs point to that being 1.3, but could it possible be as soon as 1.2.1?? I know, I'm getting too antsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goretzu Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Whilst many will just say "Why are they focusing on this when there's X issue needs sorting ffs" but I for one am pleased with this development This isn't a game bug or balance issue, for sure, however it's a massive flavour issue. This will genuinely help people be more satisfied with their characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DackVadnais Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Finally, it will be a day long remembered when this feature arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farstrider Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have been waiting for this since launch - my only concern is what will happen when you toggle your hood down, will the hood stil appear draped over the back of the robe, or will the hood disappear as they do when you turn the head slot on whilst wearing a robe. I sincerely hope that it is the former and the hood is shown to be down, rather than vanishing completely. I am going to rely on the fact this feature appears to require development time, and say I think they will introduce a hood down appearance, when toggled. Fingers crossed!

TheSnipe Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 ^^ I think that's why it's mainly taking this long to get such a simple seeming design to happen. clipping and glitches galore I foresee if they rush it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonyell Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Good stuff, will this fix the bald head / hood bug also then I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
