Do we finally get this option so I don't have to show my flying nun hat, or my hood?

Reading the patch notes and observing the stunning absence of cheering that such a quality of life improvment would produce I believe I can safely say~

 

No.

LOL but who wouldn't want to be a flying nun jedi? Consular's obviously have the best headgear in the game.

You care about your hoods during the current situation of this game???!! j/k

Yes, some people care - it's just another of those things that needs chipped away at until the rough edifice of SWTOR becomes the shining ziggarut we all know it's capable of being.

Dont think so, bioware developers dont know how to do it,i mean lets face it,if they did we wouls have this option now.....

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.

I'm sure Schubert regrets answering that question now. The "major update" is obviously 1.4 as the last patch was mainly features.

 

There is easier solutions such as adding hood down models of existing armors in game or just allow neutral synthweaver robes to be use by both sides and retain the hood down look.

 

I never did see the logic in having all Jedi robes with hoods up and Sith robes with a mixture.

 

It should have been a launch feature.

Unless you are a Twi'lek, you need keep your hood up and mask on!

 

Seriously, there needs to be a Twi'lek only fleet and only Twi'leks should be allowed to hide the head slot. The rest of y'all are too hard to look at sometimes.

This feature is really needed! along with the mask + hood combination.

Agreed. If I were to guess, I would guess that they want the hood to appear on the robe regardless of whether it is up or down. All the robes in the game seem to have a model where it has the hood up or down. Getting that into the game might be a hassle.

 

But honestly, as a customer I'd settle for less. There are head items in the game that can remove the hood, such as the jedi consular's headgear. I do have that tiara on my jedi consular... but I hate to use it, since it sits across my character's eyebrows. Not to mention, it looks silly. So I'm forced to stick to the Jedi Initiate's Vestments.

 

So, I'd settle for a hood toggle that does the exact same thing like the jedi consular's headgear; removes the hood completely. That shouldn't be too hard to implement, should it? They already have the tech to remove the hoods :/ .....................

I wouldnt mind if they just put in 1 orange hood down chest piece at this point.

Trust me, the problem of the robe is not on the hood, it is down at the butt. >>> Body type 2 male Jedi in Heavy/Medium armour.

That's fixed in 1.4

Thanks the almighty force!! Finally!! Even after 8 months!

The Jedi Initiate's Vestments are hood down.

I recently started my first force-user on rep side and i must say - i never saw so ugly gear on imp side. And hoods, yes, no problem on rep side - a lot of helms, but on rep side there is almost nothing.

That's fixed in 1.4

It's not the male, it's not the Jedi and it's not body type 2. It's all characters, of both genders, and all four body types, when wearing a cape with a belt over it. It happens to troopers too. It happens to female toons. It happens to hulking type 3 toons and curvy type 4 toons. It's just most obvious on male type 2.

 

And as mentioned, that at least is fixed in 1.4, according to the test server, thank the Force. Hoods are likely not, since if so, you'd probably have heard about that from the test servers too.

I think that 1 is a light armor if I remeber correctly, just need 1 heavy for my Knight.

We need a subsribers-only server much more than we need a twi'lek only place, me think.

 

Besides... wormheads aren't good for much, they should never have left Ryloth!

I agree w/ the OP.... sometimes I want my hood up, sometimes I want to see my toons pretty face... give us a damn

/hood option man!

Isn't hood up supposed to be like using some type of stealth mind trick invisible thing. After 6 months of hood up and wearing a masquerade party mask as a guardian, this would be such a cool thing to do.

They said it would be in the next major patch after 1.2 which would be 1.3 yet it wasn't in that and it won't be in 1.4 so i'am guessing around 5-9 months.
