Can toggle mage light helmets come on toggle off the friggan bound its literally the only thing stopping me from buying crown motifs since no point in getting glass if I'm never gonna see it under the stupid bound skin. Turn it into a aura like you see when its being summoned. So yeah glass and in the future xyvkin not getting them until I get a toggle off for bound armor... tired of looking like every single sorcerer on nirn

    Yeah, it should really have a different visual effect that doesn't cover your character. You can always use a costume to prevent it from showing though but that does defeat the purpose of having armor that you enjoy seeing.

    The price you pay for using Daedric Armor. Personally I don't use it myself so no worries here :)

    It's a definite QoL improvement that needs to be implemented. We have "hide helmet" for the reason that players would rather see their characters head and this even works for the bound armour helmet. So having a toggle to hide the visual of bound armour would be great and well received!

    It's actually made me not want to use the ability, even though it has worth in certain situations. In fact, I do my best to come up with excuses as to why I don't need it from time to time and it's all because of the visuals lol.

    Oh God Yes !!!
    I've been dreaming of this for ages !

    Only Way not to look like every other freaking sorc in the game is to use a disguise...
    Kinda defeats the purpose of having cool tinted armor pieces. And worst of all u have to choose between disguises or Guild Tabard.

    Plz make that awful looking thing disappear.

    You need some way for enemy players to know you are using the power in PVP. If there is another visual indicator, great, but I doubt it.

    Regardless of how LOLZ the power actually is in PVP, if someone is using it other players need to know. I doubt that the "hide" options function differently in a PVP versus PVE zone.

    ZOS would need to come up with a "hide in PVE only" mode, or else change the visuals in a PVP zone, in order to hide it in PVE.

    magelight can be hidden and is replaced by a blue glow. hardly noticable.

    best replace for hide i can think of is a glow but rather than a simple "lightning enchant" sort of effect it should be daedric symbols "pulsing" across your character

    Actually it would be a transparent costume that would then come in flame, ice, lightning, etc. variations. I mean ZOS isn't going to sell a single item in the crown store when they can continually reskin the same thing over and over again.

    While I agree that a slight glow effect might work. Why do people need to visually know I'm using it? It does nothing that a player needs to react to. I have a slight boost in defense along with an increase in my max stamina or magicka.

    Saying that you need a visual for other players is like saying you need to know if someone has used food and that their needs to be a visual showing that someone is using food. However saying this, you bring up a good point in that we can currently see if someone is using food via the HP bar size. Perhaps toggled abilities could be shown on or around your HP bar as an indicator much like some other non-toggle abilities that give a buff.

    Like I said above, if this ability was vital to changing the course of a battle, then yes, a visual would need to remain. But it's a toggle ability that remains on or off and doesn't require that a player reacts to its use in battle. So a visual isn't required, but I kinda like the idea of having a buff indicator on or around the HP bar as an additional way to discern what a player is using.

    No you don't need a visual indicator because as previously mentioned, costumes already override bound armor visuals.

    Please @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , forward the info to make a toggle to hide bound armor. I would like to have the Magicka boost from Aegis but still see my armor that I've invested time into making it look the way I want.
