Blizz, how hard is it? (witch hats)

Like, how hard is it to make a freaking witch hat that doesnt make you go bald?

That alone is like 90% the reason i dont use them on female toons, like the Magical Girl/Valentine outfit or the Halloween ones.

We’ve already had plenty of hats that dont hide the hair, im literally a race who’s heritage armor allows hair to show with its hat.

Pls, stop with the balding curse.

Heh. That’s why I tend to not use hats/helms in general.

It isn’t just the witch hats: it’s headgear as a whole. Unfortunately, I think the issue itself stems from this game being so old and the fact that in order to fix it at this point, they would literally have to look at every helm, every race, and every hairstyle.

At the very least, it would be nice if newer options in future expansions took this into account. I don’t realistically expect them to do this on 21 years worth of stuff that came before, but it would be nice to have some options that preserve a character’s chosen hairstyle.

Nah. They could just let us toggle hair on/off in the transmog menu. I’m sure plenty of people would do silly things with that, just like plenty of people were bound to use their “hide everything” xmogs. But I don’t think that’s a reason not to give us the option.

I would love for our hair to come down out of our hats.

I imagine my Warlock looking more like Slash or Rob Zombie, with his hair out of his hat, than having his hair tucked inside or whatever.

I also want White Top hats… but that’s for another thread…

This is my stance on a lot of things they really should do, like Paladins for everyone or letting you mog a robe while hiding the skirt part.

There will be edge cases where things are extra silly, like goblin paladins. But for the most part people will naturally gravitate towards the options that make sense\look good, and really what’s wrong with a few people looking dumb of they really want to?

Like, if it’s too much work to add a “compressed hair” to each hairstyle to display under hats (which, fair, big game, old game, lots of hats to test), could we get the occasional hat with “wigs” that use common hair tints, (or, if possible, dynamically use your character’s hair tint?), like GW2 has started making?

It’s why I don’t wear them. Also don’t wear these ones because the brim looks sideways and dorky.

I want a wizard hat like Crystal Sage in DS3.

they could simply make a few new hats that let the hair hang down , no need to go change the old ones, the yearly tavern crawl mini event there is a captains hat you get to wear that lets the hair hang down from the Gadgetzan Inn ,so we know it has and can be done.

Probably my #1 transmog gripe, followed closely by weapon and cloak clipping.

I’d also love face wear like glasses, masks and eyepatches to be a separate option.

i don’t like the skinhead look either, prefer the hair to hang down on my hat, it is a shame the biggest mmorpg is so weak on their character customizations compared to much smaller games out there.

I don’t use helms mostly because of this bald look for even just hats, and that many helms have a big gap at the neck area so it looks like I’m balancing a pot on my bald head.

Blizzard can’t even make robes that aren’t tubes so I wouldn’t expect them to fix the balding curse anytime soon.

Many other games don’t make my character go bald when wearing a hat. Please fix it Blizzard!

Way past due for this feature, which competing MMOs don’t seem to struggle with.

Yep. One of the primary reasons I almost NEVER wear anything in the head slot.

100% for me.

I like the Witch hats, but I don’t like going bald so I don’t wear them.

Though, I don’t think this company is fixing it anytime soon. Look at the new Dou Li hat from the Pandaren heritage armor. That one makes you go bald too! And it’s just one model for one race. If this lazy company didn’t deliver there, they’re not going to revamp the entire hat system.
