Let us hide trinket visual effects (Aurora, Vision, etc.)

[HappyHubris.1096]

Ideally I would prefer to see a "standard character outfits" option in a drop-down with "standard character models."

Nothing is more immersion-breaking than having one party member in a 20th Century t-shirt and shorts, another in lingerie, another with 50 particle effects, etc.  But "standard character models" also hurts immersion by making everyone the same race.

 

If you want a giant Norn with grizzled hair and a big scar for role-playing reasons, that's a great idea that I want to see.  I don't want your model subbed out for GENERIC FANTASY HUMAN.  But once you stick him in pajamas, I'm annoyed.

I was thinking that maybe the reason A-net force us into this uncomfortable position is that they assume if people think that other people might turn off the effects from their gem-store bought outfit, then they might not bother buying it.  I mean what other reasons can you think of for not letting us turn the darn effects off?

I just want to say that I totally agree as well.
Not being able to hide the visuals of legendary trinkets is pretty much the reason why I haven't tried to go for them until now, even though I would really like to get them for their practicality.

I don't understand why there is the option to get non-visual legendary trinkets from WvW and PvP but not from PvE.

PLEASE add the option to hide trinket visuals same as it is already with the back item :-( I really don't understand what is keeping you guys from implementing this :-(

It's interesting to see how split up the community is on almost every topic, but seemingly everyone agrees we should be able to finally turn trinket effects off.
C'mon, ANet, do it!

<- Has Legendary Trinkets, only uses them on 2 characters because the aesthetics and visual noise ruin the look of my other characters.

At most I only use 2 PvE legendaries together because the third effect wont work on any of them. I love the legendary armor for cleaning up my inventory by reducing the amount of different-statted accessories I have to lug around, but I won't use it if it's going to detract from outfits I spent hours designing with globular light-vomit! The ability to transmog or hide them would be much appreciated!

Really simple, ANet... give us a checkbox on effect infusions. How hard is that? Answer: It's not hard.

Seeing as you know the game code so well by what you claim here, I expect you to have it finished in a week's time.

The poster posted their simple solution to infusion effects in a two year old thread about trinkets so I dare to doubt that.

 I expect it would be hard to do also. However, IF they could, the check box should read turn off all OTHER players effects.
