More Armor Visibility Toggling Options?
I support the option to hide any piece of armor.
I myself am not one for the boots. But the shirt… that is the one I want. The main reason? I want my male characters to hulk out from time to time. Maybe it is because I grew up with He-man, but I like the combination of Rambo + Braveheart.
Granted, it does look silly on female toons, though.

I’d hope they would find a reasonable way to add a toggle option for chest armor too. While it would probably require more effort than a hide boots option, I think it’s something that warrants looking at. For males it would be easy, and it would look natural since they have bare chests. Most female races have undergarments visible that are natural-colored, with exception to the human females, which have a bright, obnoxious yellow bra. Maybe if they gave additional options, like torso-wraps (bandages) it would make a ‘bare’ chest for females more possible (and thus avoiding the whole sexism fiasco that The Secret World mildly suffered from by implementing bare chests for males only).
I still think a hide boot option would be easy as cake to implement though… Would love to see it happen so the community can shift their focus to torso and legs options! Pants toggling would be hard to win over, unless we had robes. Which we don’t, somehow. I’d love me some robes, but that’s neither here or now, so…
I’m not sure a hide anything option would be hard to implement. We already know that it looks like to not wear a piece of armor. You can just take it off and see what it looks like. The toggles just change whether or not the armor is visible.
I too would love to see more equipment visibility toggles implemented, for boots at the very least. A character might forgo shoes for RP reasons, there’s some precedent in the NPC department (as has been pointed out, even the Queen herself goes barefoot!), and at the end of the day it’d just be another neat customisation option. What’s not to like?
I wouldn’t object at all if any kind of armour could be toggled “on” or “off” in this way for that matter, although I can see why some people might. Being able to have invisible footwear really is a quite inoffensive option though, I’d think.
Yeah chest would be great and make up for the poorly ugly designed medium armor.

I hate to agree with this but I do… and will until they bring out a medium chest that looks more along the lines of the vigil light armor chest. The only non-cultural set of medium that even nods in the direction of ‘sexy-dangerous’ is the exotic “duelist” chest and it’s named companions. Even though the Norn bra has it’s own issues with the look I’m going for, at least it doesn’t have the sleeves that break all hope of the best non-cultural, and non-trench coat look I got right now lol
I’d like to provide full support for this notion. Granted, for solo PvE I just didn’t care anymore at some point and simply don’t have my character wear boots.
But in any form of group play that would be unfair to the other players.
I’d like to revisit this notion, especially with the reveal of the overhaul to the wardrobe system. I hope they will take this opportunity to add visibility toggles to all armor pieces.
