Veiled Elements - WAI?

[ned_ellis]

Simple really : the stance shows the base skin textures but...only for the player and not other players; is this WAI?!
If it is, it's a shame...

afaik it's wai. It's always been that way since it was released with U38. I don't like it either.

Hi ginger, do you happen to remember if it was released with that intention?!

Cant find much mention about why the appearance change is self only. Ideally all characters with a "major form" would have a toggle to show the currently equipped cosmetic items instead of the form visuals. If someone is really interested can always check the bio/ask the player, or pay attention what they do.

"There is a new toggle feat that druids get at level 13 (with their first elemental body pick) that disables the textures for elemental forms"

Thanks Janave!
"There is a new toggle feat that druids get at level 13 (with their first elemental body pick) that disables the textures for elemental forms"
Or from the release notes : "New Feat - Veiled Elements is auto granted to druid at level 13: This is a toggle that hides the base skin texture visuals of elemental forms."

Soooo....I'd say we could venture a non-WAI - Devs, wanna weigh in on this per chance?!
Any way you could render veiled elemental druids visable to everyone (especially the fire ele effect with veil activated looks very cool)? Pretty please?!
