Deeper Transmogrification Options for Head Slot

Gameplay Transmogrification
1

I can’t be the only one who had thought of this before.

We have a wide variety of “Head” items added to this game ofer the past 20 years, so why haven’t we gotten a Transmogrification Option for the Head Slot not too different from the Separate Shoulders Option we got?

The idea is simple: split the Head Slot Transmog Option to include three separate slots that reorganize the Head Slot Transmogs into categories based on how much of the Head that these items cover:
Hat: everything that is above a player avatars’ hairline such as Crowns, Beanies, Top Hats, Bandanas, Fedoras, Earmuffs, Halos, etc.
Eyewear: self-explanatory in that it includes everything between the eyes and noseline: Glasses, Monocles, Goggles, Eyepatches, etc.
Face: everything that covers the mouth all the way down to the neckline: Scarfs, Masks, Face Coverings, etc.

This isn’t a perfect system mind you since there’s going to be a few Head Items in the game that can overlap two categories, like any of the Trading Post Hoods serving as both a “Hat” and “Face” Item while leaving the “Eyewear” slot available to transmogrify with, or the Mask from the Love Is In The Air Holiday being both “Eyewear” and “Face” while leaving “Hat” available to add.

The basic idea is similar to the Modular Armor System used for Fallout 4 and in 76.

There is going to be a LOT of items that overlap and clip.

I like OP’s idea. I would rather be given the option to layer things and risk the dreaded clipping than be so limited as we are now.

As a mechagnome, I live the life of constant clip fighting. For instance, I rarely wear shoulders as they clip into my head or chest oddly, but at least I do have that option if I find some that work. Some helms layer onto my mechanical eyes and head and allow a cool layered look of goggles+hat. But some change my mech-face into goobery blank stare eyes. I really wish they didn’t.

This also goes along with the popular request to allow a hair/horns/ears toggle for hats. Sometimes it could clip and look terrible, but sometimes it would allow some really cool looks. Witch hats, I’m lookin’ at you.
