Hood On/Off Toggle?

I totally agree we need a toggle.

Simply more options to create a unique character are very welcome. Being able to dye, or at least change colour of a piece of armor would also be nice, like in DAoC.

If the bloody toggle is too hard, then give some armor without a hood ffs.

I'm tired of not seeing my character.

This has probably been mentioned but a lot of visor helmets will remove the hood and make you look like a matrix character (albeit without the black). I've seen two visors that do this so far in my 30's and I'm fairly sure that one was from the class quest chain... That is keeping me sane until we get more options or I run into an orange trooper set I like.

Bioware needs to address this as it assists with the game play experience. Jedi Shadow.

I just read the Reddit post and it didn't sound like a hood toggle was coming anytime soon.. I'm assuming he meant laying the hood down and having an animation for a downed hood, instead of just removing it like a helmet. Removing it all together shouldn't be hard, they already did it for Twi'lek hoods and helmets in general.

But seriously, he said they knew it was an issue... if that was the case, why not just add a few hood down robes in the game? Give us a few diffrent colored orange moddable ones from vendors. I seriously can't think of a reason, it's like a bad dream...

And here are 14 hood down armors that they already have done that they could add in next week:

Agree. It is seriously annoying to have absolutely NO heavy armor robes without a hood, or at least the option to hide the hood.

It is especially frustrating when, e.g. the Jedi Knight progression video shows a hood down version for the guardian side. How did this happen? I don't understand.

From what others have said, people in Beta complained they didn't have hoods, so they just put hoods on all the robes.

What they should've done is given both options, if they knew a hood toggle wouldn't be possibly by launch. Hopefully if we stay persistent, we can still get a temp fix soon, like a few nice orange hood down pieces added to commendation vendors or something.

Until we get a toggle, I believe we should send the developers a message by refusing to wear chest armor out of combat. Have a galaxy full of shirtless Jedi! Imagine the possibilities!

I already do protest in a way... basically bought a moddable trooper armor for my lvl, ditched the mods from it, put my old good Jedi modifications into it... no hood.

It's kinda silly that they refuse to add something, what's clearly already done. Sadly, until whole lot of us yells and screams and kicks, they have no reason to do much. After all, we already did pay the money for the game. And honestly, how man people would quit over not having an aesthetic appeasement? Not many, I think. That is why this, from business point of view, they don't need to give a damn about this issue.
