I dont know if this has been brought up before or not, but I would like to see the option of Toggle Greaves on and off be added to the options menu such as Toggle Helm on and off. I have a certain look that I want my character to have that, so far atleast, I can only achieve by not wearing greaves which gives me a huge penalty to over all armor rating as well as any affixes tied to that piece of armor. I dont think I should be penalized for wanting my character to look a certain way, much like others who dont want their helms to show.

Obviously this is my first week playing the game, so I dont really know the in's and out's yet. Is it possible to achieve this without such a huge penalty in the end game? Or do I have to wait for a costume to be effective.

Im kind of going to the "Xena" look, if anyone was wondering. (Everyone whose 25-40 should know who Xena is...)

If your character doesn't wear any greaves, then why should your character benefit from such? From a roleplaying point of view, I don't see why you should gain bonuses from an item you don't wear.

Im saying the reason I dont wear any is because of the cosmetic look and in turn I receive a deficit to armor rating. I dont do it by choice. I do it because all the pants are ugly ive gotten so far.

Not sure where this came from. I thought we were talking about greaves and cosmetic / armor rate value.

So if you choose to hide your helm option you shouldn't get the stats either correct ?

Exactly what im trying to get at.

lol in all seriousness, I'd kind of like it if there was a toggle to show or not show each armour piece. The only ones I'd be likely to use are helmet (which already has a toggle) and shoulders, and even then only on a couple of my characters, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be available for each piece.

Actually, I'd also like to be able to hide my horse/tiger armor.

It just looks goofy.

True dat!

I'd be completely fine with this. Makes sense.

You do understand that the whole "look" to Xena was designed to get advertising money from the people targeting the 30 year old virgins.


Its still pretty offensive

Xena is offensive to you ?

I didn't know the Amish posted on message boards.

Correct. If you don't have a helmet on, you don't have a helmet on, and thus swords hit your head... Some people...

What blows my mind is that there are people who claim to be role-players who state that they hide their helmet for role-play. Well, you've just role-play failed because a true role-player would be "in their character's shoes", so to speak, and would make a judgement call (i.e. do I want to wear this piece of gear? No, okay well I'll work around the cons, because I like the pros).

Yes. It's not at all possible that they could have been basing costumes in a show set in a mythical version of ancient Greece on actual armour styles from ancient Greece.

What do you reckon?

Disregarding the whole "skin showing contest" factor, I'd like epaulets of the the warlock that DON'T fload above my shoulders (or at least a way to disable them from showing). BTW nice Xena lookalike.

That's actually Lucy Lawless in that photo.

It is?

She looks a little bit more digital than usual... Maybe a little photoshop was applied.

I shouldn't have to suffer a decreased armor rating just because I am vain & hate the way almost all the shoulders look...
or have to give up shoes to look like I'm wearing ordinary loose leg trousers...

TOGGLE!

& isn't running off-level domens naked already a thing?

I toggled my helm off too. I ran around looking at other peoples armors the other day to see if there was any I liked and someone said in area chat: "What....?.....WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT ME FOR?..." Lol.

I don't mean to rain on your fantasy, sweet pea, but you do realize she's wearing something under those lappets, right?

I choose not to wear pants on my female character...it is worth the loss in armor.

The armor in this game looks so ugly and sh*tty...most of the time I choose not to even wear it....

It is like the ONLY game where you cant dress your female up a bit sexy...I hate it.

Really? The only game. Right? Like the ONLY game?

Borderlands? Portol? The Talos Effect? Left 4 Dead? Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim (oh sure, you can spend download a mod that lets your run through the Reach as a thirteen year old girl in her underwear ... ) I mean, like almost EVER game made ... well ... except the games made in Korea.

You may not have realized it, but this game wasn't made in Korea.

Apparently it's on your computer. Downloaded. Do keep the sanitary wipes handy.

If you don't want to wear greaves, actually be like Xena and deal with the consequences. I have no idea why anyone thinks you should gain the armor without visually wearing it. That makes no sense whatsoever.

The hide helmet options really bothers me. How can you have the armor of something without it being there? I am unable, within forum rules, to express my thoughts..

I'm not alone!

You are certainly not! Toggling stuff off is silly and, frankly, deceptive.

Skyrim had spells for magical armor like Oakflesh. Maybe the people that want crotchless armor could use something like that in the game. Just an idea.

And older TES games had magical "shields" that reduced or eliminated damage. (Wasn't there a reflect, too, in Oblivion? Maybe Morrowind, too?)

I think @Tholain may have solved the problem. You have armor ... and you have magic. If you want to argue your steel bikini is magical then let's see your magic. You should get NO armor protection for wearing NO armor. If you wear a cloth shirt, you shouldn't be as protected as if you were wearing steel or leather armor. Enchant it or use magic.

If you're wearing a chiffon shoulder cap that only barely covers your generous backside, which itself is only covered by a the thin strap of a pink rubber thong, then it's all magic, baby. Let's see what you got.

And if you're not wearing greeves - and I see your naked legs in PVP - then I should get to go for the leg shot.
