NEW HAT NPC! (This just in)
JC68
permanent, gaile said that
VitisVinifera
wow, I just got about 50 more inventory slots (seriously, I obsessively got most hats for most of my chars by setting my alarm clock on event holidays and then jumping districts to get more for others)
this totally rocks........SOOOOOOOO frees up space, plus we don't have to be so worried to get every hat for each of our main characters, just one and you can spread it around

I'd like to thank ANet for adding the hat storage. I have 28 characters so this is a godsend. Plus I was going for survivor on a few characters and didn't want to reroll after failure because they would lose their hat. THANK YOU. You've cleared up at least 50 slots for me!

Holy Mother of.......Thank you Anet for listening regarding the Hats Issue.

Dont care about hats. The other updates(party search, reconnects, go-away-heroway etc) are welcome!

So much for me ever getting the Horns of Grenth and the Yule Cap from last year. That's not fair, I didn't get into playing GW before Wintersday 2005. Thought I'd be able to borrow the ones my friend has (who got me into GW in the first place), but you can't copy someone else's hat.
=(
Instead of not being able to copy them for free, what about a higher cost for one you didn't get the first time around? Like 10g for the ones you have and maybe 10k for those you don't? I want Grenth's Horns, they just look so cool!

this was most likely done to reduce overcrowding of towns. as now once you get a hat for one of your chars there is no need to go back with each char.

Nice update.

I like the new Party Search. I like the hat npc for the most part. My only criticism would be, where's the love for Factions? So Kamadan and LA get the hat npcs, what about Kaineng? Elona and Tyria get Halloween and Wintersday, what happened to Cantha? Those Factions only guys and gals like having extra storage too, they still have their Tengu and Dragon Masks taking up space. Please let me know if I've missed something, I can take it.
And yeah, I know Cantha has the Dragon Festival but it's still outnumbered by the Tyrian/Elonian holidays plus no hat npcs.
And yes, I know you're not supposed to start a paragraph with "and".

Request to add the Festival Hats NPC as a service in our guild halls... that way We can use hats on Our PVPs if I want to...

The hat NPC is not storage it's a copy shop. Don't get me wrong, its a great step in the right direction, but its not more storage. -big thanks to the developers.

The element that everyone needs to keep in mind is that the dyed hats should be retained -- that would be the Tengu Mask and the Dragon Mask, if my memory serves. (Once, long ago in alpha -- like Halloween 2003 -- we could dye our pumpkin heads -- what fun!) Anyway, if you want to keep the coloured/dyed version, then don't delete it, because the hat npc cannot make dyed copies, but only the original version, sans dye.
And I'd like to ask those of you who are so grumpy to consider taking a "Happy Wintersday Pill" and vowing to keep a positive frame of mind until the new year. All of us here would benefit from your kindness, and who knows? You might find you're a happier person from the effort of not always seeking the negative and the grumble-able in life. I mean it sincerely: I would like to see you happier, and I don't think that the negativity that is in your posts has a thing to do with the game, but lies deep within. In the spirit of the season, I wish you (inner) peace.

Well darn, got my hopes up for additional storage :'(

Yea, I'm one of the silly people that like to add runes & dye, and i also get them infused.
=HT=Ingram
Well this is reassuring to me that it will remain basically as is beyond event days. So it makes perfect sense to me as a type of storage. So I can now get an extra 10 or so slots for storage of other things cause I don't have to hold on to old hats. I think that is the point really. So for that I thank you very much Arenanet.

Hmmmm I wonder if the NPC will still takes hats even if they're not customized to me......

I just wish this had been here before I deleted my original ele to make one in NF with better hair.
RSGashapon
No Cole, they won't... and I think it sucks royally, but there's nothing we can do about it.

I even tried to get my warrior to copy a hat that was in storage for my necro - and the NPC wouldn't let me do it. I had to log off, log onto my necro, and have her do it.

I wont trash the ones I have.....or the new ones I have just gotten----10g may not be alot but when you start talking about 10characters and 10 different hats....then peanuts are a bit bigger.......
this is not storage. like someone said earlier its a copy shop. I am happy that some of my characters can get the older hats, but unhappy that I will have to pay to get them again if I delete them for space issues.....guess one of my semi-mules has just become a permanent one.
Now on that same vein.....we have been requesting armor storage, are they just going to do the same thing with that too???? This is more a work around that a fix (like duct tape on the plumbing instead of buying a new pipe)...it works (to a point), but it was not what we were expecting....
so A for effort, D- for follow thru.

So now it appears that if you are unhappy about somthing in the game you have a problem and it has nothing to do with the game.
LOL yea right
As for the update I think it's great,Don't have to spend another 24 hours in front of my pc to get hats for all my toons
Thanks Anet oh and leave the Psycology to the pro's.

In both LA and Kamadan, there will be a new Festival Hat NPC. The Festival Hat person will help you in this way. He will be able to copy your seasonal hats and share them with all characters on your account. |

Are the npcs going to stay perminently or are they only here for the festivitys?
I hope this years Wintersday hats are the same as last years(unlike the halloween ones), cause last year Anet kept Wintersday quiet (i even checked the site 2 days before incase there was an event with no mention of it) until it was too late, i was on holiday and if i had known about the event i would have found away online just to get the helms :'(

I love this event, even better than last year!

i personally love the new hat npc now you can just delete your hats and safe the space, and when you want to look nice, you can just go and get your hat back
aaaaaaaand it fixes the huge problem that it was nearly impossible to get all hats you wanted for each of your characters. like with halloween, i couldn't get a pumpkin hat for my ranger since i went afk and my internet connection broke down .. and that new npc just fixed that, it's great it will make it lot easier for coming wintersday to get both hats, of grenth and dwayna, too
Tnx Anet and thumbs up guys!

Also, if someone expected armor storage, it's their own fault if they got disappointed, ANet specifically mentioned holiday items, not armor in general. And the implementation is actually really clever. Look at it this way, if they would have given a holiday storage tab (similar to materials) with, say, 15 slots, somebody would have more hats than that and complain about the lack of storage space. Now that we have the Xerox copy center, you can get rid of ALL of the hats no matter how many you have. Unless you like running around 24/7 with your head inside a pumpkin, you can just pop 10g whenever you need that headgear for a special event. Sounds more than reasonable to me.
And what's this complaining about not being able to copy hats of the events you didn't attend? It would be really odd if it did work that way, if you ask me. You, as a player, attend such and such events and get such and such hats to show for it. Call it a souvenir if you will. And no, I'm not typing this because I already have all types of hats myself, I'm actually missing 3.
Cunning
I never "need" a hat at any particular time, I'm not going to travel around the world when I feel like wearing my Yule Cap, I think this implementation is nice for the fact that any character can have any hat. However the only time I'm going to wear a special hat is when I'm not doing anything productive, ie, I can't be stuffed going to Kamadan/LA just to pay 10 gold for a hat and then map back, only to go afk.
I hardly consider this a "storage" improvement, there's no incentive for me to delete all my hats and then get them back when I "need" them. I might as well delete the hats and never wear them again.
How about having a command similar to /bonus, so you just type the name of the hat you want and receive it immediately without having to leave your spot? Then delete it when you're not using it.
