Rebecca just said the Bunny Ears from the Easter Event will be permanently available. Im so happy for this, but DE should also add a Toggle to hide Festive Cosmetics, this way we can make ALL Festive Cosmetics permanent (Pumpkin Head and Moustaches too!)

It's that time again! Bunny Ears are back in season and this time they will be permanent!
That's why Im asking to make ALL Festive Cosmetics Permanent BUT with a Toggle to hide
them for those Players who want to keep their immersion in Warframe's unique aesthetics.

Those are the two QoL changes that must happen in tandem:

• Make ALL Festive Cosmetics Permanent

• Add a Toggle option to hide these Cosmetics

I like the Lepus Headgear. I think they're cute. I want to wear them on my Ivara all the time.
But Warframe has several million players, and that means several million differing opinions on the
matter. Some players feel the same way, while others are upset that these festive cosmetics exist in
the first place for various reasons like immersion or whatever. Others players simply don't care, and
some like that these kinds of cosmetics are limited because — for them — it makes the cosmetics feel
"more special". Those are all perfectly valid opinions to hold, and me begging every year for
permanent festive cosmetics would be in poor taste if I didn't account for other player's perspectives.
Because I like festive cosmetics and want them all the time, and because some players never want to
see them ever, we should get a new option relating to these cosmetics.

The 'Hide Festive Cosmetics' option would go in the 'Gameplay' section of the Options menu.

It would have three settings:

1. Show Festive Cosmetics: When Appropriate — This is the default setting. You will only see festive cosmetics on other players when they are in season. For example, you will only see the Lepus Headgear or Spring Step Ephemera on other players around Easter and you will only see the Dullahan Mask on other players around Halloween.

2. Show Festive Cosmetics: Always — Festive cosmetics will always be shown on other players.

3. Show Festive Cosmetics: Never — Festive cosmetics will never be shown on other players.

Regardless of the setting you choose, your festive cosmetics will always be visible on your screen. For
assets like weapon skins, the default skin would be used if it's out of date: the Ringers and Peppermint
Scythe skins would use whatever weapon model it's equipped on. Assets without a fallback are simply
not loaded in the first place.

This setting would affect the following items:

• Eros Arrow Skin

• Lepus Headgear

• Spring Step Ephemera

• Dullahan Mask

• Movember Mustaches

• Ringers Skin

• Spearmint Scythe Skin

• Festive Glaxion Skin

• Little Helper Hat

• Eros Wings Ephemera

• Naberus Wings Ephemera

This setting would not affect the following items:

• All Towsun skins and cosmetics

• Naberus shoulder armor

• All Day Of The Dead skins and cosmetics

• Festive Frost Skin, Winter Mirage Skin, Festive Imperator
  syandana, various holiday Gene Masking Kits

• All Solstice skins and cosmetics

This separation is for two reasons. Either:

1. The cosmetic is very silly (Moustaches) or obviously out of place (Little Helper Hat)

2. The cosmetic isn't all that out of place (Naberus, Festive Imperator Syandana,
   Solstice items) or otherwise costs plat (DotD items)

Some common comments I've seen over the years, and my response:

"This is too hard for DE to do/it would take too much effort."

Nonsense. In the Dante Unbound update we will be able to select different aspects for Invisible
Warframes, It's their game, their engine, they can do whatever they want with it. If they want
separately colored Syandanas, or multiple energy colors, or cinematic quests, or open world zones,
or space ships like frickin' Star Citizen, then they can do it. There also exists precedent for the two
technical requirements for such a setting:

1. The ability to Select Alternate Appearances.
   Chroma can hide his pelt when using Effigy, and Khora can selectively toggle her spikes.

2. The ability to check if today's date lies between two other dates.
   Warframe is practically built on timers. There's absolutely no way that DE is unable to
   manipulate dates and times to see if an item is in date.

On the topic of effort, DE already has to place all of their new assets anyways. Whether they do it
once a year when the holidays comes around or once when they create the asset makes no difference.

"I don't want to see festive cosmetics outside of the holidays because it makes them less special" and "they're fine the way they are."

The default setting of "When Appropriate" would leave festive cosmetics exactly as special as they
already are. If you don't want to wear them or see them in the off-season, you don't have to! But what
feels special to you doesn't necessarily feel special to someone else. It's subjective, and letting players
choose for themselves will make the most people happy.

"I don't like festive cosmetics and I never want to see them, ever. They're silly and break my immersion."

Then you should support this idea, because by changing "Show Festive Cosmetics" to "Never" you
wouldn't have to see them ever again, even if they're in season! Right now a player can run around
with a giant candy cane and a Santa hat on their dog all year round and there's nothing you can do
about it.

"I don't want other people to be able to hide my cosmetics."

Too bad! Some people just don't want to see them. Why should you be allowed to break their immersion?
This is a long time coming QoL change for the (arguably) most important aspect
of the game: FashionFrame. And it should be handled with a compromise to both parties:
Those whole like them and those who dont.

TL;DR: Man shouts at company over Bunny Ears for a whole decade.
Make them permanent! but also let people hide them.

By the way, the Bunny Ears are getting a fur rework! This is what they look now 😍

Post covers the topic fairly well.

A quality message.

Oof, that "fur texture" is rough
