Dantert.1803 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I was disappointed to see that there isn't an option of the helmet without the terrible hologram, and no actual way to turn the holographic effect down so we can see some more of the actual helmet.I hope A-net will put the helmet in the game in the future without the effect....Also, I feel it is an insult to have a norn style helmet and have the beard disappear if you put it on....why Anet??? Whyyyyyy???Free the beards!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Until you posted this I'd thought it was just a holographic version of the Horns of the Dragon helm released during the original Dragon Bash, it was only after reading this and actually comparing them in-game I noticed the two are different.I take it you've tried applying very dark or dull dyes to the helmet? That can sometimes reduce glowy effects, sometimes to the point where they're impossible to see. (I don't have the helmet yet, so I can't check that myself.)

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I like the new helmet. I think it probably won't be changed since there's already a very similar helmet without the holographic effects in-game.And, it seems the theme of this iteration of Dragon Bash is holograms.Also, I don't think it's a Norn-style helmet. It's based on the old Dragon Bash helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's based on the old Dragon Bash helmet. Holograms were a big part of the original Dragon Bash too. There were holographic dragon minions to fight there too, that's where the first two sets of holographic wings came from, and the holo mini pets. If I remember correctly the Aetherblades (who were introduced in that release and were the main villains in the story) also used holograms.I was telling my husband earlier today that it's weird to think back then holograms which were more than just a projection were a very new thing in Tyria (I think they were actually invented by Elli shorting before the start of the personal story) and now, about 6 years later, it seems like they're everywhere and treated as fairly normal. I know things like that happen all the time in real life but its unusual to see it in games, even ones which go on for years or get numerous sequels in the same time line.

What is it with you people and cat ears? ;)I love them :) But you're right, they don't fit with the festival. How about holographic skyscale horns?

Dantert.1803 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Ok, the hologram is cool and all, but why putting another helmet under it? il looks like a bad case of clipping.Also why making the beard disappear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewcifer.5198 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 My feedback on the helm:I would like to see a non holographic version. And I think the horns that have the smaller spikes coming off them look weird and out of place compared to the rest of the horns on the helmet. Besides those horns looking a little odd I think the design is really great and hope for a non-holo version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unicorn beef.6750 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The holographic image looks tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreams.3128 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 The holograph would have looked nice, but the problem is, it overlaps too much with helmet portion. It just makes it look like a glitchy mess. Especially on my side where certain effects change color everytime I turn my camera. They should have smoothed out the hologram a little bit to look more clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
