Didn’t even see it in the patch notes. Is there a way to get the “collectible” yet, or is it still unnecessarily broken due to an unnecessary, idiotic change?

It's listed as "not collected" but I have no idea how to collect it... They should leave it in gameplay settings like it was since always.3 -

But then people could hide their helmets willy nilly where ever they were. It would be chaos in the streets!Edited by vyndral13preub18_ESO on January 24, 2018 12:17AM1 -
GiantFruitFly✭✭✭They should have added the new ways to hide helm on top of the working functionality in the gameplay settings, with orders of precedence like for outfits and costumes. That would really provide comprehensive hide helm customization for more scenarios while not affecting people who like the existing system.2 -

Same issue here, too.
How can us PTS testers evaluate the hide helmet functionality ... if it's a puzzle to even unlock it at the outfit table?
Hoping this issue doesn't make it to Live (or is at least explained to us) in the slim 2 weeks we have left of this PTS cycle.

Jeremiah87✭✭✭Did they ever say if the game will retain it's hide helmet feature from Settings>Gameplay ? Would be a bummer if not since we could key bind that and that was neat. Also how would we go about hiding helmets on costumes when that is gone?0 -

They said they would not retain it in the Gameplay Settings on ESO Live.
That said, you're encouraged to keep posting in the thread if (like me) you'd prefer to keep it in the Gameplay Settings.

✭✭✭✭✭I hope they get this fixed; while the existing functionality at least lets me hide the Monster helms, it would be nice to be able to go bare-headed and actually see the face of the person I'm adventuring as.#proud2BAStarObsessedLoony

EntropicLynx✭✭✭The hide helmet outfit option was supposed to be available to all characters from the beginning, but as others have mentioned, there still seems to be no way to "unlock" or "collect" it in order to use it.
Personally, I think they should keep the Settings functionality, as well as add the outfit functionality, just as an option for those who prefer to role play a little bit and want to be able to remove their helmet visual on the fly.
In any case, they cannot push this change to Live without it actually working unless they want to seriously *** off at least half of the player base. And as was mentioned before, we cannot test it if we cannot use it (although the argument could be made that by trying to use it and finding that we can't, then we are "testing" it and it simply happens to be broken).
What I don't get, though, is that they promised that it would be fixed "in the next PTS patch", and there have now been *2* PTS patches since they posted that, and still no fix yet. Why promise to fix it in the next patch if the fix isn't already ready to push to the server? And if the fix was ready, then why hasn't it been added as part of one of the last 2 patches?
At any rate, it's annoying, and they need to fix this.
Later,

Own✭✭✭✭submit /bug reports on the PTS. the more that go in, the more likely they'll change it.
I vote for keeping both methods of hide helmet. it 100% should be able to be done in the menu.3 -

✭If they are waiting to see if we can discover it, at least inform us it is available in game.

✭It's probably at the bottom of their list of known issues that need fixing, but this is one of my top priorities for testing. I've got concerns about the changed functionality of this feature, but I don't want to voice them until I've actually had a chance to try it. :P2 -
Hunterka71✭✭✭I'm very anxious about this feature too and would prefer to keep it as is.
I played with clothes yesterday a bit and in the costumes collectibles - hats - there is an option to hide helmet. I assume that as it is on the level of costume it will hide costume helmets and armour helmets. That is not working now as it is "not collected" - guess where we'll be able to collect it from?
The question is - how much we'll have to pay for it? Somehow I am sure this is a clever way of monetizing the previously free option.Edited by Hunterka71 on January 24, 2018 8:01AM4
