Hello all,
I wanted to talk about the Bloodstone Visage helm skin. When it went out in august there was a bug that allowed it to show through the back of the head. To be clear, this wasn’t the intended look of it. Unfortunately, with attentions being divided between other living world content, we weren’t able to get a fix for it ready until very recently. But, before pushing this change through I wanted to check with you, the community, to gauge your thoughts on the skin. Many of you have earned it, and we want to make sure the general sentiment is that you’d prefer to see it changed before we do anything with it.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Bloodstone Visage
Fix please and thank you.
Fix please. Personal thoughts are that it just looks “Broken”
I think it would look better fixed. It looks a bit weird(er than it should) now.
Edit: Also thank you for asking our opinions.

It will be better if it is fixed yes.
Thanks for asking.
It doesn’t bother me as it is now, but it clearly bothers enough people. So, I vote for fixing.
Nooooo. Don’t fix. I like it that way.
Is it an option to have it swap between the two looks?
Please fix

While you’re at it. Fix the fact that red light fills your screen in first person mode when wearing these

I would like to see it fixed please.

I’m not a total idiot, some parts are on back order.
I didn’t bother getting the skin because the bug made it look awful. I didn’t want to take the effort for a skin that looked bad.
If it’s fixed, I’d consider doing the stuff to get the skin.
Do you mean the particle effects that dont appear to come from the eye glow, but from somewhere behind it? Then yes, please fix. also fix the way both show up in first person. this is really silly
Yes, please fix this. It feels like my character has eyes in the back of her head Very disconcerting.
Yes please fix it

I’d definitely prefer it didn’t show through the back of my characters head (ie “Fix please!”). I dunno, it just looks weird like this. Plus it’s a little distracting.
Yes! Nice was looking for this fix, so happy with it now
Fix it In addition, you can see the visage skin when you are using skills like Astral Wisp, and it reveals how they work by just making you run awkwardly fast (very immersion breaking)
I would prefer it to not show through the back of my characters heads.
I agree with the majority of posters thus far; it should be fixed. Thanks for asking!

Id prob wear it if it was fixed. It isnt a bug that enhances tne design in any way
As feedback, a quick note here or even on the bug tracker would have been nice to know it was a bug earlier would have been useful comms.

I like the bugged effect when in death shroud, but other than that, I think it’s better off being fixed.
I would definitely prefer it to be fixed.
will this change affect current interactions like with oontz necklace or reaper shroud?
I won’t even use the skin ever but, this question is like a kid asking his mom if she really wants him to take out the garbage. It made me laugh reading it.
Having said that, it is a pretty low priority thing in my book so…
I vote NO, DON’T BOTHER FIXING IT.
Move on to the next thing in the dev queue list… unfinished pants that show yer butt, or chest armor that’s inside yer chest.
Earned it, been wearing it on the norn guardian, and yes – fix it, please.
.
I havent gone out of my way to get it, because I wouldnt personally use the bugged version. Of the 2 options I would prefer the fixed version. However, is this a case where the skins could just be split? have the fixed version (Bloodstone Visage) and the bugged version (uhh… Bloodstone Mind) or something.
Fix it.

Fix please – it’s the only reason I haven’t yet used it.
In terms of player use, I can definitely see worth in fixing the effect. However, in terms of NPC use, I really enjoy the fact that you can see the eyes no matter where you are. It gives the White Mantle and fallen Pact members a much more menacing presence.
All things considered, I’d prefer to keep it the way it is. We already have the red glow-eyes from the gem store— I don’t think we need something so similar to that.
If its a bug it should be fixed
One of my 30 accounts (Malediktus.9250).
OMG Yes please fix it. Thank you.
Fix it please.
Oh, gods, yes. Fix it.
This issue even creates problems in combat, since it makes it harder to see which why a necromancer is facing in shroud, so I don’t think that even an alternate version should be made, so people can’t exploit that.
Fix it please, looks broken to me. Would definetly use it if it was fixed.
I’d love to see this fixed yes.
I vote for fixing it.
As Felhar mentioned, please do fix the first person floaty visage.
Please fix it so I will finally like it enough to actually get it. :P
Hey !
Thanks for asking us !
I’d say it would be better if it was fixed.
Yes, please fix it.
Or, if a lot of people like it, turn it into two skins.
I definitively would preferea fixed version though.
Thanks for asking, but I can certainly say I’d prefer it to be fixed over the current version.
Maybe another item could later be added that replicates the current look for people who really want it.
Haven’t grabbed it, but would like it to be fixed when I do decide to.
Please fix it, thank you.
If it’s a bug, then it should get fixed. It doesn’t make sense to ask if a bug should stay…
That aside, please fix the x-ray glow, thank you.
And lastly a question: Will this apply to the Bloodseeker (Off hand focus with the same effect) and similar items too? I really hope so.
I definitely vote for fixing this. I feel watched by my own characters when looking at them from behind. That’s creepy.
I’d prefer it fixed, though I haven’t applied it to any alts and might not for a while since I’d want to have an RP reason why my character has eyes like that. But every time I preview it and rotate my character in the preview panel, I realize that I really won’t apply it in the current version.
