Dear Anet -

I’ve been playing this game for 2+ years now, and I’ve gotta say this armor set is some of the coolest stuff you’ve put out by far. However, I didn’t go through character creation just to cover up my face! The helmet is nice too, but I’d much rather go helmetless – and I think many people agree that it looks just way too awkward that way.

Is there any way this could get fixed just to include the neck?

:C

Edit : I guess I didn’t state it clearly – I meant a fix to the look of the outfit AFTER disabling helmets. It looks like you’ve got a floating, disjointed head that looks really awkward.

You’ve been playing for 2 years and you don’t know that if you hide your armor headpiece the outfit headpiece also gets hidden? Ok.

Yeah like Aktium said, if you hide your helmet, when you put the outfit back on the helmet will disappear. That’s what I’ve been using when I wear the Raiment of the Lich or the Imperial outfit.

Sorry, I guess the prompt was stated poorly. I was asking Anet for a fix to the LOOK of the helmetless option – it looks too awkward. I do indeed know disabling helmets in equipment removes helmets from outfits, it’s just that the helmetless look on this armor look a bit ‘off’.

Can you post a pic of it?

Edit: nvm, Kronos sniped me. Thanks.

Eugh yeah that looks comedic with how…bad it is.

Lyndis is talking about how the outfit looks terrible without the helmet. The lava is swallowing your head.

An easy fix would be to make the 4th dye channel that isn’t being used to dye the lava. If you can dye the lava a metallic color or Abyss, it would just look like it’s part of the armor. Another fix would be to change the shape of the lava a bit so it doesn’t come up to the chin of humans/sylvari/norn. It’s a problem for both genders on humanoid races, regardless of body type.

But…this is like the next best thing to getting male Phalanx armor on female characters.

I paid good money to customize my character’s head, so I want to show it off!

Sadly it looks a little odd with without the helmet. The red/molten area just ends without any metallic frame around it, so it looks like your face is just floating on a bowl of orange.

Yeah the head floating in red stuff ruins the helmetless look.

While I support the OP’s dilemma (and can we add the fire colour to the 4th channel while we’re at it please? ) I do think it’s funny that for a suit based on a human god, it not only looks better on a charr, but charr are also the only race that can wear it helmetless and not look ridiculous.

While they’re at it they can fix the charr weapon issue with the outfit too.

you all DO realize that the red lave is PART of the armor and acts partily as chainmail like under garment. its like a very thick turtle neck. also it has some cool implications:
the armor is amgic in nature and you control it from somepocket dimension and when you put the heltmet off your head peaks out of this dimension created and held by the lava body.

I made a somewhat similar plea to have the 4th dye slot which atm does nothing be used to alter the glow color. I think if it was something other than that almost neon orange it may look better, even helmetless :/ Hopefully they do something it’s by far my favorite outfit but the orange is hard to match dye wise or weapon wise…Heirloom isnt too bad with it, and blacks

Floating faces – the new trend in 2015.
But seriously, remove the lava-neck please.
