Guild Wars 2

It always struck me as odd that we as players do not have the ability to “hide” our feet armor, especially when we can hide our helmets and our gloves/gauntlets and our shoulder armor simply by checking off a little checkbox on our equipment page.

It also strikes me as odd that we’re unable to do this when you consider the Norn. By lore, don’t a lot of them go barefooted anyways? I play mostly Sylvari and Asura, but even playing those races I do sometimes want to hide my shoes, especially on my Sylvari ranger.

Do you want to get ringworm? Because that’s how you get ringworm.

In all seriousness, though, I don’t see why not. It can help people make new styles with the wardrobe without missing out on armor, and it could help with people’s RP and/or immersion.

I thought this was a troll thread because of all the hide mini and back pack threads.

Yeah I don’t see why not. Ranger traps are really gonna hurt when you step on them, and don’t for get frost bite.

“Queen Jenna’s shoes” – need I say more!

I’m all for this, even asked Gaile Grey about it in game lol. Most shoe skins don’t fit my three toed feet!

Lets air out those feet!

Or paranoia about getting ringworm. Seriously, I must’ve gone barefoot many times around Australia when I was out there a few years back (it’s a common sight) and there’s not a single trace of ringworm anywhere in my body. I must be missing out!

The reason why I want to see such an option in this game is bacause many of the light armour boots/shoes really don’t seem to match the rest of the armour (on female human characters anyway – they seem to work better on male ones), and on some sets like the embroidered set, bare feet just seems to be a better fit.

Oh, and don’t even get me started on the Asura and Charr…

More cosmetic options are always a positive in my book. Option to hide all armor while you’re at it!

I don’t really have an opinion on this, but Anet has shown some support for this in the past.

I would love this option.

I don’t see why not. I would maybe use such an option on some of my characters.

Would love to hide shoes on Charr

I support this. In fact, I would love to see an option to hide EVERY piece of armor, similar to what RIFT lets you do. It’s not unprecedented for NPCs to walk around barefoot (Jennah) or bare-chested (many Norn NPCs, even in the snow), and some outfits would look best with gloves hidden.

But “hide shoes” would be a great start.

Indeed, what’s the point of having tattoos in the case of Norns or luminescence (Sylvari) if you can’t show any of it off? It’s the equivalent of the old RPG joke where you spend hours crafting the face of your character, hair, beard and all only to slap a helmet over everything once you get into the game.

This would be awesome.

Can I get a hide option to not see all the players that want to “hide x item” ? these threads are point less since everyone wants their own custom version of the game.

This was actually asked for year or more ago, and turns out some of the devs actually like being shoeless, however nothing came of it so…. not looking good for you.

No need. You simply didn’t need to click the link that brought you to this page.

That doesn’t fix anything since the title of the threads still show up, anyways I gave my feedback!

I manage to avoid clicking on the raids!/mounts!/race change!/DX11 NAO! threads that keep popping up almost daily. It’s not hard.

Supposedly a dev responded on a similar thread a year or so back on the PvP forums (back when the Suggestions forum still existed – but for some reason they responded to a thread on a forum many PvEers would never have seen) which few people saw saying that the only reason why they allowed the toggling of helmets and gloves was because of clipping issues on certain armour configurations (we had to fight tooth and nail to get a ‘hide helmet’ option during closed beta) but they had no plans to extend this funtion beyond those two things – then they added pauldrons to the mix.

I’m not expecting much out of this thread TBH because aside from a few people here, there is more vocal support for toggleable features on Gemstore outfits, and Anet will probably consider that option instead because there’s potentially money in it for them (people holding off buying outfits because only the headpiece can be hidden) in the long term.

+1 Charr feet often look wiered in shoes. And most NPC charr dont have shoes…. wich looks far better imo.

Asking for this since the first time I played a Charr and there are a lot, lot more players asking for this option. It’s about time.
