Suggestion: Toggle View Greaves On/Off

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.KanedaSyndrome wrote: »

✭✭✭✭✭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..

✭✭Look at me, I'm Peter Pan-tsless!
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.Edited by twev on August 14, 2015 8:36PMThe problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.0 -

Its still pretty offensive

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).Edited by rb2001 on August 14, 2015 9:35PM1 -

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.DigitalHitmann wrote: »So, no ones over the age of 30 or hasnt seen Xena before...?

What blows my mind is that people are so childish to not look at something a certain way from another players perspective and would rather just insult them instead. This is the internet I guess, but some of you should grow the *** up. Especially those of you who claim to have kids and a family. *** poor examples youre setting.
This discussion is about a toggle for a game. Keep your personal *** out of it, and stop trying to drag people into it by griefing. You can say you dont like my suggestion, thats fine. I dont care. It lends to the constructive criticism against it, but dont insult me, because you dont like my suggestion. Just say you dont like it and why you dont like it, and move on.1 -

i agree, i toggle hide my helmet just because i hate how helmets look and for the fact whats the point of creating a toon to look good if youre just gonna hide it behind armor, which is why i find it silly they offer body paint/scars since youre 99% of the time never gonna see or notice them.1 -
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.0
-
CaptainObvious✭✭✭✭I would be in favor of a toggle for each. It gives more flexibility to allow players to aesthetically play as they want. It does everybody else no harm.
While I tend to run with helmet toggled off and would probably stick to that, I can respect others wanting more diversity.
Consider the slippery slope of even the toggled helmet.
Technically, if we are going to count hiding visibility of a slot as non-armor, then costumes should be counted as non-armor. Wearing the servant's outfit? It should be treated as no armor and adjust active armor passives appropriately.Due to a typo in the system, the area was accosted by the Daedric Prince Moar Lag Brawls.0 -

Nighn_9✭✭✭✭✭I wouldn't mind if they made every piece of armor toggable, especially left/right shoulder & left/right arm piece. Players get naked in game anyways. Then again it would probably make the armor design team mad cuz all their hard work would be for nothing if a player just hides it all.0 -

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.Where is all this sort of sh*t? This game rated C for children or something?
Apparently it's on your computer. Downloaded. Do keep the sanitary wipes handy.

Some of these look like WoW elves. I like the look of them too.
I am with the OP here.I mean,if I am running in the desert doing quests,wearing my best armor,which is usually heavy,it seems pretty hot to me.Sweaty hot.And pretty out of place.I was actually looking for pirate gear in Port Hunding. Sometimes it really isnt appropriate wearing a full set of heavy armor.0 -

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.
