Wouldnt it be great if you could see the helm you wear, and equip/unequip your weapon? I mean so you can have your axe, sword or bow on the back, and then press like Z or X to equip it. It would be so mych cooler if you could. So please PWE! Make that happen in th new Expansion =). Thank you for yout time.

    Yeah I'd totally walk around with this on my head b:sweat

    It wouldn't be a bad addition as long as they don't design them after the current icons though.

    Putting your weaponry on your back/waist would be pretty cool, but it's essentially a useless feature so the devs will most likely not put any effort into such a thing.

    P.S.: this belongs in the suggestions forum.

    i think it'd be better if there was more of an option to Turn On/Off headwear. Since there are endless character customizations, some people would prefer to show-off their uniquely created character rather than hide it behind a helmet.

    Exactly. Besides, in another game where the helmet display is an actual option, I have it enabled on chars where it looks great or okayish, and off for the ugly hats.

    Still, with todays extensive choice of hairstyles, helmets would be either difficult to fit in, or they would revert your hairstyle to something compatible with the helmet. And while I do tend to go for hairstyles that are somewhat practical for field work (not much I can do about the clothing, though) and are likely to be compatible with armors as well, not everyone does that.

    Actually, there is no need for the headgear to be an actual "helmet". Especially for the lighter armor styles. Arcane armor provides no protection at all, so why would the helmet have to be an exception?

    In that "other game" I mentioned above, the equivalent of the arcane armor has "helmets" that are more like a piece of cloth protecting parts of your face from the desert sun. The medium class armor has helmets that look more like high-tech headsets but also covering one or both eyes. Only the heavy style has actual helmets.
    Slow progress, game is getting way too grindy :-( Quests I still hope to be able to do some day: FB39, General Feng

    As far as the functionality goes for equipping and unequipping weapons, you can put the weapon on your skillbar or as a hotkey and easily switch back and forth.

    I like the idea to show/hide helms. With how awesomely you can customize faces in stuff in PWI they don't need to hide them (like in some other games), but this option would allow those of us who want to show off our helm because it looks awesome would be great :)


    Heck I know when I clicked back to see how my armor looked last night I became a little sad that it wouldn't display the helm :(

    They could always do it like Capcom's Monster Hunter series. Some helmets redesign your hair or ARE the hair themselves.

    I really would rather have a Show/ Hide option for helmets though.
