Well damn, do you still have to interact with the transmog guy on a new character? Because that’s still the issue, but that change sounds really good. Or can you just access transmog at anytime, because that would be a dope change?
Not entirely sure; I don’t have access to the alpha, but for a new character it’s not that difficult to access a transmog NPC.
You can get to major cities at level 1, and unlike transmogging normal slots, which costs gold, hiding appearances costs nothing. So you won’t even have to send gold to your character to have them hide their helm/cloak no matter how many times you replace it.

Just curious, what to you find “stupid” about the process today?
Just having to either skip and find the guy at level one or get to level 10. You used to be able to do it at level 1 from the menu like changing the game to auto loot etc.
Do you have one of those vendor mounts that were from MoP? I do like the perm hide helm option (I think that is the complaint) so I’d not be opposed to having it perm for sure.
Most helms look goofy as all get out so I hide mine always.
Yeah, it’s just like if you start on the starter island you can’t use them until level 10. I haven’t made a character at level 1 in a long time and maybe you can use the toy at level 1. I don’t know I’d have to check, but I’m at work. Just messing around on my phone.
All that aside it being in the menu was better though I like this transmog sticking change. That’s good.

Wasn’t Hide Helm a client-side change? Like, only you would see your helm off?
No clue. I’d be fine if only I could see it so I can fix it. I just don’t like helms.
You could always just…not use a helmet until you get to the transmog guy? Those 2 points of int aren’t going to make or break your low-level leveling speed, you’re already obnoxiously OP.
You can call out the transmog mount at level 10 if you own it, and helmets don’t even drop until what, level 15 or 20? And if you have the transmog toy, you can do it at level 1.
This really seems like a nonissue.
That’s why it seems so regressive of a change. It was a non-issue and is one in classic.
It’s not the end of the world. I’m just being honest about a dumb thing in the game. Nothing more.
I do like these changes thanks for bringing them to my attention.
I used hide cloak and hide helmet a lot when it was available. But now that it’s gone, I kind of appreciate that I don’t see my character different than other people do.
I also used the old models until that option was taken out of the game. And every minute I used it, I was annoyed that it wasn’t visible to everyone else. I really liked that old, restricted run animation. It was very appropriate to running around with a hundred pounds of steel strapped to my body.
