Title: Ability to hide helmet
Post by: Katoh_Ironfist on June 14, 2011, 10:21:46 pm
hey guys,

I'm guessing that this might be really hard to do or impossible, but I'd like to put it out there since it would just be an awesome feature. I'm talking about the ability to hide your helmet. my character looks like a beautiful 80 year old man and I think it's just wrong that the inside of my helmet is the only thing that can admire my beauty.

I've also seen lots of players (mostly Woman ((not generalizing just observing))) Wearing NO helmet at all, because they want to be more divers from everybody else who is wearing a bucket on their head. Though wearing NO helmet usually ends in a lot of quick death's because, well nobody like a mallet in the head.

So I'd like the option to click something in the site that will hide my helmet/make it invisible while I still keep it's stats. I know it's a bit unrealistic, but it'll make all us players who want to hide our helmets a lot more divers.

If it's not possible just say so, but well it would be awesome.

Thank you in advance for considering and/or discussing with me.  :mrgreen:


((Also if there is already some sort of option to hide your helmet that I am unaware of, please just call me an idiot))

Beauty? 80 years old men in Middle age were almost living dead, but  there is no accounting for taste  :lol:
Anyway, I agree with the idea of having more different/original players but it would be pretty annoying to pick a fight with someone whose had can explode after one swing and realise that his head is made of steel.

Also it would increase the "Hax" suspects if not globally adviced, but that's a minor problem

Oh god, no. Hide/show helmet has no place in cRPG imo. Which ever marketing sicko managed to establish this crap as a standard in today's games deserves a longaxe shave. If you feel obligated to show your head to the world then live with your mortal head wound. Oh, wait..

Okay, so I can understand that you don't want to hide your helmet, but why don't you want OTHER people to hide their helmets? FREEEEEDOM!!!
live and let die , that sort of stuff.

This 100%.
I already have a disliking of open faced helms, and hiding helms delves into trolling the game as well as tards saying "if I can hide my helm then why not all of my armor? wanna show off my beautiful bod bro!" And then it all goes downhill from there...

Guy runs up to you in a medium to light armor with no helmt on. You aim for the head with a overhead for a easier kill. Jokes on you, guy is wearing a Armet and shrugs of your damage laughing, but you couldn't tell because he didn't want to show his helmet.

Great feature, please add.

Bandits are an exception due to your faces. Your argument is invalid as everyone wants to see your beautiful bods and faces, nips and hips.

Actually, I would like kind of the inverse, that players with no helmet selected cannot spawn in the game. Who the fuck would be so stupid to go into a battle without some form of head protection?

Alternatively, the game could render a standard bucket over their head.

Peasants.... or soldiers that are poorly equipped... or a wanna-be hero...

We need to be able to see the helmet...adds to attack strategy.  If someone has all plate body armor and boots, but a felt cap, guess where I'm aiming?

we need to see how others are armored.  It's integral to the game.

Dang, if you guys seriously pay attention to the other guys armor, then I very much suck at this game, (though I already knew that)

Whilst I like this ability in certain RPGs, it is not suitable in this case.  The mechanics of head armour, head shots and hitboxes forbid it.

I pay very close attention to armor, right down to the gloves, on all of my targets even when shooting from afar with range, or in a frantic melee. Makes target priority a breeze. Luckily c-RPG only has so many kinds of armour.

I guess they could make it so it's only client-side, meaning only for the local player, and all others would still see the helmet.

I don't really understand the want for something like this, though, and I don't think I want it explained to me.

Also, tears, beggars don't go into battle. Every peasant can find some cloth to wrap around his head. And heros don't exist in battles. They are created by bards.

I take it you missed the "wanna-be" part of the hero? Aka soon to be dead idiots that existed back then just as they do now? As for peasant, why not, sure he can wrap his head. So what about the pictorials of some people with no stuff on their heads? I know the vast majority of people put stuff on their heads as it is just plain smart, but common sense is oh so lacking in some people... Granted those pictorials are usually trying to make things more epic by distorting the truth as obviously the winner writes history, but that brings me to my next point:

Helmets are not very heroic (entering the part why film makers often have heroes take off helmets, so that the audience can identify easier).

I understand what you are saying though, rest assured.

In an army, soldiers are not free to do with their equipment what they want. If a lieutenant sees a soldier who refuses to wear his helmet, he will shoot him, to make sure the rest of his soldiers wear it. The pictorials show people without helmet, because they had to be recognizable. I also don't think there were so many wanna-be heros back then. The general population probably understood that war is terrible, and most who participate will come back injured or not at all. War was not some far off thing like it is now.

The closest thing to wanna-be heros I can imagine in a real battle back then are some lordlings without battle experience who want to prove something. I'm quite sure that those would never take off their precious helmets, that so aptly separate them from the commoner, though. Also, after first contact, their esteem would probably already have blown out.
