I am a proud Norn, with a brilliant and hearty crimson beard.
I thought to add the rather impressive dragon helm and make myself look rather something fierce…and noticed a crippling effect. Arenanet, what hath you done?!
I have added before and after shots, and I am not the only one experiencing this but some Charr have been getting issues with their assorted horns or ears…
Please remedy this ASAP!

Because all hats shave your head. This is an old process that no/most game companies have not, apparently, figured out is undesirable.
Basically, in order to have your hair they would have to make a separate asset for each type of hair it would be possible to have under the helmet. This gets really complicated for Sylvari who have “hair” that would be incapable of fitting in any hat to begin with.
So instead of worrying about it, they simply replace your hair with the helmet and move on.
Why it also removed your beard, though, I can’t even begin to comment on. That seems dumb, but is probably for the same reason since some head items are masks.
This actually happens with the plated helmet (the one with the ram horns) you get as a karma reward in Iron marshes with my human male as well. Seems to be a bug with certain helmets.
Really, how come nobody’s figured out how to get hat hair yet? Vindictus does it and that’s probably a fifth of the size of Anet. I hate having no hair under my helmet.
When you put on a helmet that ‘covers’ the head, your hair model changes. Why can’t we have that here )’:
Something similar in TERA too, though they don’t have hats I think. When I change my armour to something that might clip my hair(?), my hairstyle changes to a bun.
The horns are ugly on smaller characters. Only Norns and Charrs can appreciate this.
The design is bad, the size is bad, now the effect is bad too. Too much bad stuff.

I have the same issue. My bulky norn guardian with his crimson beard looks like a shaven 15 year old when I wear the horns. Funny as the karma-set Heavy Helmet has the beard still show up under the faceplate.
I’d understand if this one would cover the face as well but seeing that it is in full view I feel like the otherwise fit on a norn looks just ridiculously stupid without a beard.

Because Vindictus has a few set models. So Vindictus devs only have 6 models to fit their hats on and correct possible clipping problems, whereas Anet has to fit their hats on every possible hair/face combination. Imagine the workload as they have to properly adjust every hairdo when they release a new hat. Much easier to simply swap the hair for a hat.
Correct me if I’m wrong though, I only wiki’d Vindictus.
Gah, please fix this! I was looking forward to this amazing helmet so much, and now my woodsman human Ranger looks like a child wearing a hat two sizes too big.
Yes Anet please fix this, a helmet that covers most of the chin or jaw should shave the face to avoid clipping issues but a helm like this leave much space for a beard. I would much rather see my characters beard while wearing this helm.
This is off topic but when Halloween returns. I hope Anet redoes the free horns. They look terrible. Make them bigger and cooler with curves. Make them actual armor that looks like part of the player.
Funny how my heavy armor Nobleman’s Helm covers most of my face and head yet still (thank god) manages to show my beard underneath with no annoying clipping issues.
Why is this not possible on the dragon helm which shows most of the face?
seems only good now if you play a female toon or a juvenile looking clean shaven male :/.
Yeah I have a sylvari and the hair is the branchy one that extends out a bit it looks so fake and terribly when I put on a helmet because it changes him entirely
