I’m begging you. It doesn’t even have to be colorable! I’m just such in despair due to the awful lack of light-armor full-masks. You finally make a REALLY cool one, and nope, more crushed dreams. I’m really sick of all the plastic face-stickers. Just give us this hood so I can be happy. T_T
Edit: Added a picture of how things COULD be…

There’s definitely an arguement for making costumes and town clothes visible in PvE combat. Keep them disabled in WvW/PvP of course, but why not PvE?
Think about it, I bet town clothes and costumes are currently irrelevant to most players, because they don’t hang about socialising in the town hubs and so have no real use for them. Allow them in PvE, and everyone is happy – players have a greater variety of looks without attaining an unfair advantage against other players (as they would regarding class identification in WvW or PvP) and Anet has another source of income as suddenly more players are attracted to them in the Gem store because they have a real use.
You could use some costume parts in PvE combat in Guild Wars 1, and you know what? It was FUN, and contributed to the vibrancy of the game itself!
Heck I want this good for pvp. Pvp it takes nearly 50 ranks to start getting decent full masks, its a struggle to not look kitten y as a light armor class in pvp when everything in the game is gated from you with a massive grind. Pve, pvp, wvw what ever, this mask isn’t distracting or super glowy, it’s no worse than achievement armor, but finally is a good well made full helm and they decided its only town usable, why? Sales would be much higher if we could just use it…. The only Alternative for fullmasks on my pvp necro that doesn’t also cover the shoulders is Orrian (Arah skin tPVP) hood. But its broke , it shortens our head length and the back of the hood is entirely unfinished. Plus it looks. Bit goofy overall. This helm is just so well done its a shame we can’t use it…
I fully support PVE phantom mask, hell all town clothes.
My necro currently is using the wraith face paint for her ice wraith theme, but if I could use the phantom on her (and dye both the glowing red portion and the normal hood parts) it would be perfect.
(PvP too, it wouldn’t hurt anything, most town cloths except the new fiery pumpkin costume aren’t highly particalized, not nearly like many other armor sets already available to pvp). But my UNDERLINING point, honest to god… is please.. PvP (and others) light armor users NEED more access to full-mask/hoods. I’m sooooo sick of every new set coming out being a little piece of plastic on the face, and the rest of the armor is cool, then they come out with a potentially wicked helm, but its for town use only… It’s like, really? Way to blatantly waste potential
Updated the initial post of what things COULD be like. Make it happen, Anet, just give us this one. :S
One last hurrah? No one’s with me here?
All halloween outfits should have been made as armors, not town clothings.
I never saw the point in town clothes in GW2, what a waste.
I would buy the Bloody Prince outfit if it were wearable in combat, because the face paint looks amazing on my Sylvari.
