Even though the character select screen has been updated for Nightfall, the headgear display setting still only saves for...

- warrior
- necro
- elementalist

but still DOESN'T save for...

- ranger
- mesmer

---old---

Anyone else want an option to NOT display headgear on character select screen? Makes it easier to show your friends what your characters look like when they're over at your house, or take screenshots of your character roster with and without helmets.

Currently, if you have your headgear turned off on your character, you have to log in and out to have the headgear off on the select screen for a short time. I suggest either that setting should be saved or have an option to turn headgear on / off on the select screen...

Part of the issue with headgear being show at the select screen is it covers up the face of your characters, which in some cases makes them harder to identify if you have more than one character with similar headgear / armor.

The headgear option is ALREADY possible to be saved for ELEMENTALIST headgear, so why don't they keep it consistent and make it possible for all the other headgears too?!?

Its not a bad idea, its just not a usefull idea. I dont see the purpose for this, the reason you see the headgear on the char selection screen is because it shows all your armor, it really should show weapons set too but meh. just because you choose to hide it in game dosnt mean your char isnt wearing it.

/signed - If the game can remember all of the other options, it should be able to detect your settings on the login screen too.

No need for this, you can already do it:

1. When in game, select "Always hide" your headpeice
2. Log off, and then back in again
3. Your character won't have have it on.

If you have your head gear set to "always hide" in game, it would be nice if that applied to the character selection screen without having to log in and out and in again. That's just annoying.

that is exactly how it doesn't work. (3) only works for the last character used. The rest of them will always have headgear on.

Mate, have you actually test and tried this method before posting this information in here?

I have "Always Hide" for the headpiece for all my characters, and I still see them wearing their head piece sometimes.

/Signed, I "hide" my head piece, I do not want to see it in the character selection menu

/signed, and upset that the OP beat me to it.
This is admittedly picky, a very minor thing of no consequence, but it can't be hard to correct. Besides, I flinch whenever I see my Warrior wearing that ghastly Ascalonian/Recruit's helm.

Shut GW down, as in close it; then reopen and see if that sticks. Newsflash: It does not.

Useless change for the start screen.

also what happend to alphabetical ordering of characters slots?

kvndoom · Jun 22, 2006, 09:43 PM // 21:43

I'll sign this one. It is annoying that sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. A minor bug, but still a nagging one.

most of the headgear is butt ugly and I never show it in game. I don't want to see it when I log on either. Bags on heads and hasmat masks look totally rediculous.

Not any major inconvenience but I dont like my headgear showing.

i especially dont like "masks" showing...

inscribed · Jun 23, 2006, 05:06 AM // 05:06

Think it was intended to work like the OP suggested. I know every character of mine has the option "Always hide" checked for the head piece, but only my elementalist is actually displayed without a head piece on the character select screen; the rest still have their helmets on. Not sure why anyone would not sign this under the excuse that "they don't see a reason it needs to be implemented", seems pretty childish. But yeah, I am pretty sure it's a bug, and that the character is suppose to be displayed on your character select screen the same way he is displayed in game, minus the guild cape of course, given that the elementalist behaves this way..

yes, we are aware of this... but the point the OP made, is that the game for whatever reason, doesn't always remember this setting. It's a pain to have to log in and out sometimes, several times to get the character not to show its headpiece in the log in screen. I've noticed that tattoos often show up in the default colours too, and not the colour you so painstakingly dyed them in game.

Mate, it does work. However I found it works randomally and also seems to have something do with where you character is when you log off (Log off, not close the game down).

I still won't /sign it because there is other things A.net could be working on.

However you can hid it on the PvP character creation screen, so maybe they can bridge it over from there.

rubbish... complete waste of the time for anet to work on.. i'd rather they spend their time on trade improvements than "options to display/not display headgears on character select screens". This is essentially an all important update equal to the minipet of shiro's swords addition..
