They are NOT nerfing Heroes Ascent, heroes should NOT be allowed in HA as it is a PvP arena and last time i checked heroes were not real players making killing them PvNPC. And fianlly it is NOT because they cant beat them it is ebcause they are NOT real players.

This is a really good idea, much better than just a simple storage. If I understood correctly, you don't have to even keep one single copy of the hats in your storage, as long as you show them to the hat copier dude first before deleting them.

Read that again. It doesn't say 2 heroes per player, it says 2 heroes per team

What is really not fun is going to be again having to wait eons to form a competent party in HA because of this ridiculous Hero nerf. A problem which letting Heroes in HA finally fixed. Winners don't complain asking for the nerfing of things that they claim to "own all the time."

LOL, heros "fixed" HA. DOUBLE LOL. If by "fixed" you mean turn a PVP arena into a PVE arena so nubs that are TOO LAZY to learn can farm fame and drive away most of the real PVPers and turn it into a big joke then yes it was "fixed" alright.

i would rather lose to a thought out balance team, with real players, than beat a team of 1 person, 3heroes, 2hench, running YET ANOTHER searing flames (/mindburn >.<") spam

it gets so boring
normal maps: you just kill the real guy a few times, and interupt the healer hench, and job done.. so BORING..

broken tower: prot the ghost, spread out, and stand still doing nothing while the heroes/hench spam on the ghost.. job done, another boring 2fame made..

unholy/sacred temples: get 2 people to chain run relics while the enemy heroway just cant keep up, just spends him time running around..

Zomg!! guess what!!! job done, more free fame..

holding halls: just spread, heal, prot ghost again, hold until a thought out build with REAL tactics knocks you off with REAL players

this isnt fame.. its common sense points

heroes have screwed HA completely

Hurray, i can grab the hats on one of my character and copy them to my other characters (i got total of 8). Anyone know if Kamada's hats will be the same as the one in Tyria?

checking my guild , friendlist

i have 8 eligible good player(they played ha from start ) to form a team. and this is bad time becouse most of my other friend are sleeping or doing something else.(and my guild is still not in a alliance)

if you cant find between guild / alliance / friendlist / pug 3 other player i think you should change your team forming process.

I like the HA change actually. I got really f***ing tired of going to observe mode just to watch 2 players fight with their bots.

If you're interested in the tech side of how it might be done, there's a good article explaining enum flags here.

Yeah i still think the storage tab would save even more server space in the long run. Put in a hat, take it out customized, just like it's dyed and put it on any character, one hat, one account, one slot, when you're done toss it back in again... Now you can actually take out a hat for each character on your account and if you never delete them, well...

The hat you want to duplicate. Or do you mean what the traders will take for this years hats?

Well,

It's nice and all, but when are they actually going to listen to what the Guild Wars community is REALLY asking for? When are we going to get reasonable storage?

Personally, I have 10+ characters on two seperate accounts ( 10+ characters each that is! ). The dinky little xunlai storage is pretty damn small.

Before I pat Anet on the back, I want to see dye storage added to the material storage tab, and expaaaaaanded xunlai agent storage. Why is this so hard for them to understand?

So you jump on Gaile right after being embarassed by yelling "LIES" without any evidence to the contrary. That's pretty amazing. You see, it really does nobody any good to go around saying "pics or it's not true" or "i'll believe that when I see it." Something like, "That sounds improbable, post pictures please" would be much less abrasive, and if you wanted to, you could just not post anything and rest safely in the knowledge that you don't believe them as of right now. Since there are lots of people who consistently find things out on Guru, odds are, if you wait even 30 minutes, somebody will put up proof without even asking them to, and you won't have to jump all over anyone for no reason.

Ok, let's see if I've got this "hat thing" down. Say I get all my hats of various types, copied, and then delete every single hat I own. I can still make all of them that I had copied, correct?

It's not hard for them to understand. They understand. That doesn't mean they are going to implement everything that people want. Gaile pretty much has to repeat this ad nauseum. Now, the question is, why is this so hard for you (and so many others) to understand ?

I'm glad to have the extra few storage slots freed up, now if only I could find a way to make it worthwhile wearing hats, atleast 55s could get away with it, lol

That was because immediately before I read this topic, I saw on GWO that someone was speading rumors of a "Hat NPC." And I presumed the OP was one of these people (especially since he didn't list a source.)

We make mistakes. (although I do not understand why it wasn't mentioned in detail in the original Wintersday announcement...)

I didn't list a source because I was trying to get the post up as quickly as possible. Sorry.

I'll edit it in now.

I think the hat trader if for the new hats. Also you can make unlimited copies (from reading Gaile's post) for cost of 10 gold or by using the existing hats.

The community also asked for a form of storage for the holiday items. This hat NPC is BETTER than just storage for those who have multiple hats for multiple characters. And in the long run is pretty much infinite in the amount of hats you can have "stored"

Why is it so hard for you to understand this?

Oh yeah. You're such a rebel fighting against authority. No, I dont kiss ANET's ass all the time but I give credit when credit is due, unlike you where you're whining and complaining about everything. I've yet to see one post from you that is positive.

Just confirmed for everyone. Once you show the hat guy one of your hats you can delete ALL of them.

I did this on my extra storage account which only has 2 hats on the whole account. Deleted both after showing them to the guy and was able to create new ones.

So, this means you get back every single spot of storage you are currently using for hats!!

That means I've saved about 30 slots. So to everyone complaining that this was useless, I say go eat your hats.
