plus it already works for elementalist headgear, so seems like they did part of it and forgot to do the same for the other professions...

they should be able to copy and paste the code from the elementalist

You can unequip it in game if you're taking a picture? Otherwise I don't see why this needs to be worked on if it's only being viewed for 5 seconds

its being viewed the whole time your in PVP battle--especially while running. and you cant unequip a pvp cape.

They should just spend some time to fix ALL the character selection screen bugs. Like the monk tattoos turning back to their basic blue when you log off and back on without restarting the client. The first time I saw that, I thought for a second my character might be messed up somehow. It's really embarrassing to have bugs in the first screen you see when you log on.

I figured I'd buy a shiny new 15K Kurzick set for my warrior, and save money by not buying the headpiece, and keeping it set to "Never Show". Instead I bought the big doofy 1.5K Shing Jea helmet that looks like an English cop's hat. I had to look at that big stupid thing every time I logged in, and after a few weeks, it drove me so crazy that I faction-farmed the amber I needed to buy the damn Kurzick helm.

More customisation is the way to go. I would also like to chage the login in Screen I prefer the old one myself

I personally never show my headgear in game, but for some reason on the logon screen it appears. I purposefully buy cheap, crappy looking headgear for my female characters because I know I'm not going to show them...it's a shame I need to see those uggggie things when I log in.

Cheap helmets look kinda crappy at the best of times, If I have it hidden, I want it to stay hidden.

Honestly, even 10 Minutes of Developer Time wasted on this something, could be used to fix a more severe bug somewhere else. Well, fix it, i don't really care but i do hope this has a very low priority.

i never wear masks (except warrior helmets, but only in missions or explorables) and so i never dye em. and seeing those masks not match the armor in character selection screen, kinda ruins the look every time. so yes, dont show headgear

Err.. 3 times here.

I don't wanna be mean but... honnestly who cares about that? I hope ANET said that to get rid of you. I'd rather have them working on the next campaign or new options like the extra char slots than on that.

You can say it now: you made this topic to increase your post count, didn't you?

I think this posted worked. Now I can't see any headgears on any of my characters, exept my ranger for some reason...It's so anoying. There should be a option on the login screen for this like there is for arranging your characters. I really hope I can see my headgears on the login because I HATE my hair for my ele! I shouldn't have tried to make my ele look exactly like my friends ele (and he even deleted his which makes it worse). Isn't it bad enough I HAVE to look at my ele's hair when I play? Please fix this Arena Net, or make npc's to change hair, preferably both!

If you need to take screenshot of log in screen, log in game, take your your head gear, log out. That's a bit inconvenient, but otherwise I think this is unnecessary change.

this is one of those things that should've worked properly as expected in the first place and users shouldn't have to report it

I highly doubt this would take more than 10 minutes for 1 person at ANet to correct, if that. Since the login screen has demonstrated that it can concievably recognise when your char's headgear isn't showing, someone can just go in and have that setting saved to an external file - perhaps the same file that keeps track of which armor you are wearing.

And you cannot argue that "we don't know how long it would take, therefore they shouldn't do it." That is a plea to ignorance; you can say, "for all we know it takes forever and isn't worth it," but for all we know it takes a minute and is worth it. You can let ANet make the judgement call. In fact, it's hardly even a plea to ignorance since some of us actually do understand programming and can guess pretty well how the login screen was made.
Amen.

looks like ANET has it partially fixed atm. can anyone else confirm that so far...

- warrior
- necro
- ele

professions save their 'no headgear' display beyond 5 mins of logging out?

Not a really really important update, but would be nice.

I use the hair as a quick identifying mechanism, nut yes I like the way hair looks and how my chars look with out helms as well. If you never see your helm in game it might be a bit difficult to pick out the char you want if you have similar chars without clicking through.

The sort options staying on the one you choose and a profession sort option would be nice now that we have buyable slots also would tie into this.

this is still not fixed in the new Nightfall select screen

Not only does the character selection screen always show the headgear for some classes, e.g.
- Ranger
- Assassin
- Mesmer
but for some other classes, the program tend to always hide the headgear:
- Elementalist
- Paragon

And this is not a feature we are requesting here, but rather a bugfix. The character screen should show/hide the headgear as they are customized in game.

Character's face has more chance to be unique than their mask or helmets, therefore should be favored to distinguish individuality. Obviously same idea as 15K armors, why not.
