Why didn't you just look at the mask on the site like everyone else? People knew what the mask was going to be at the start of the event. >.> Also, read the massive thread in Riverside to figure out how most people feel about the mask.

I'd kindly ask for a close.

perhaps if you didn't make your very first post a stupid 'this sucks' type post you would have gotten a better result. Really though, how long did it actually take you to get those tokens, maybe 30 minutes? I've wasted more time than that standing in line for something I wanted.

It's a matter of perspective, really. I thought the mask was okay. It's all about your personal taste. Some people loved it, some people hated it. Hey, I really wish I'ld been able to get the Witch's hat last year...The Frosty Hat? Would'nt have bothered...just not my style. To each their own..
BTW, welcome to the forum...woof! woof! ;D

I specifically didn't get it this year on account of you cant dye it (and I already have about a dozen plus masks I never EVER use).

I would have liked it better if my hair wasn't taken away. But not the worst hat I have seen by far.

Well, to me, the hat looks like a massive turd, i wasted my time getting those 250 tokens, & being one of the many people to get the mask first, i nearly puked.

So, what do you think? I'd hate to be the only person here who hated it

Wasted time getting 250 tokens? You know you could have traded them for 5K of merchables with an NPC don't you? (salt, wound, etc...)

Personally, I liked the mask. It's no dragon mask, but it's pretty unique and really suits some Sin and Necro armours. I just wish they would let us dye it.

Ooooo......I have'nt tried it with Sins. That sounds neat. I'm particularly fond of how it looks with Rits. Done properly, it gives them a really nice Voodoo priestess/priest look.

Well, as I said, it's a matter of personal choice, but in addition to the Frosty Mask, I'm not very keen on the Tengu hat or the Horns of Grenth.
My faves are the Pumpkin Crowns, Witches hat and Jesters Caps...('course being a newbie, I don't have any of those..) *pout*

So you nearly puked by looking at a collection of pixels on a monitor? You may need help!

I wasted 250 tokens on a mask I went and took to the trader and trashed.

I could have gotten 25 flasks or fire water.

Actually, I thought the new mask had a Preditor feel to it, looks like one of their skulls to me. I liked it.

Wait, Tengu came out last year (launch of Factions).

There are two Horns, one from 2005 and one from 2006.

The Frosty Mask and Jester's Cap both came in Nightfall, Wintersday 2006, and the Witches and Furious Pumpkin came in Halloween 2006.

(The original Pumpkin is better IMO, and that was Halloween 2005).

Wonder what cool masks we'll get this year...

I knew what the Alien... er Demon mask looked like before I got it. Looks good on my Necro. (of course, I like the Tengu mask on my necro too, looks much better with a head angled down like the Necros).

for some reason I could swear I saw this mask before someplace... But I didn't have it on anyone so I must not have unless I missed an event or something somehow. I suppose thats possible, I'm sure it happens to some people on occasion... anyways... It looks ok, no worse then the dragon mask really... Which only looks good on 1 character style, the monk... The demon seems to look best on sin and necros. But thats prob subjective. I like my tengu mask the most, I wear it a lot on my ranger. Especially cause I can have runes on it. Its the original. Good for a quick condition reduction, or whatever... Its risky though not having any armor there... but still... The looks are nice on it... And it has not been offered again, so its more unique IMO...

However, something about that demon mask gives me dejavu for some reason... I know I have seen it before, but I don't remember when.

So you completed 4 short quests. got gold and XP for the effort. had something to do outside of what is available everyday. And got a mask just for being in town at the right minute of the game.

But THAT is not good enough for you.

hate to see your reaction when it's about something actually important in the world. (you do know there is a world out there, yes?)

Well, I must say I wasn't happy about the mask - but for the opposite reason:

It's a good piece of art that could have worked as a nice helmet for any armour! Imagine a full armour of that style, I think it would be among the best...

I'm not impressed with the mask (I haven't had the desire to even place it on my character's head - the icon looks... undesirable).

I have only 3 masks - I've not been on-line when the others were around (Christmas, halloween, etc.)

Anyway, out of the ones I've seen, I like the 2005 Halloween jack o'lantern mask. I wasn't impressed with Santa's red hat, nor Greneth's Antlers. My Ranger looks like something he would use for target practice.

Anyway, Jrdnbrkfld, you are not alone about not liking the hat. I spent about 15 minutes getting most of those silly things and I spent a few plats to get the rest - now I have extra tickets and presents that will stay in my stash unopenned.

What bugs me is that during the entire event you could be in any district of SJM and see people complain about how ugly the mask was...as they stick around to get one.

What bugs me is in 2 of the dist I went to at the very beginning of this event there were peeps
"Trying" to sell the mask for 5k - 8k each to people that came in late.
When most peeps knew there customized and couldn't be sold traded ect
lol reminded me of the "mini pigs" all over again.

What one I like the most? maybe a separate thread should be started but I liked the "Santa hat" we got
at wintersday.

The thing is, they released a screenshot of what the mask looked like before the finale happened. You had advance notice that if you didn't like the mask, you did not need to get it.

I agree with the author of this tread. The mask plain flat out sucks! I was hoping it would be a dragon mask such as last years mask, instead of the most ugly piece of tripe I ever seen. Should of at least had horns on it, but ah well. I enjoyed questing for the tokens, and enjoyed even more puting the mask in the trash.

I like the mask, First festival I've been in and it was fun. The mask goes well with most necro armor and some warrior armors as well. And its fun to wear it in towns and have people ask where you got it from (the ones who missed out)

Getting the tokens for the mask is no problem as well, over 4 characters, I did the 4 quests with each of them, leaving 960 tokens, then some Dragon arena wins and I had 1000 tokens, I kept 250 and sold the rest for 70k ((over priced, yes, but the temptation was to great seeing so many people wanting to buy tokens when the emperor visited that i was selling them off for 100g each.

And this right here sums it up for me - you may not have liked the mask they offered, but you didn't have to get it if you didn't want it. And the tokens were basically free money, yet people still complain.

Another "Im complaining about what I got for free thread"....sad
You need to appreciate things that are freely given and not nitpick!

I for one totally enjoyed festival although i still did not hit 1 million on lucky yet.

Not quite - the problem was that whenever emperor was arriving in the district and one didnt have the mask in his inventor, 250 tokens were automatically removed from his inventory, and a mask given, not matter if you wanted that or not.
I lost 500 tokens that way, not even comin close to the emperor

Which begs the question, why did you stay in the district if you knew the Emperor was arriving? Surely it's not that difficult to click a different location on the map, or simply use the 'Guild Hall' button!

Erm... that's a rather silly approach and reversing the problem - i was in the district cause i was trading, playing rings or just logged in there - no matter - point is during every event to get a mask you had to go and click emperor - ok, it was usually crowdy around him and it might have been a little problem for a while, but giving those masks to EVERYONE just because they're in town that's an overkill - i was buying the tokens for the sweettooht/drunkard titles not another useless hat and getting two of those definitelly didnt make my day.
I'd prefer if click-to-get-the-mask mechansim was used next time.

Alien mask? Good call. Until now, I was saying it make me look like I had a Headcrab from Half-Life on me.

I think you should quit the game in protest! When they lose that monthly fee....oh wait, there is no monthly feel! They do these things anyway, just for fun! Well, I think you should quit anyway if that's how you're going to act.

Another person who registers to come here and whine. Quit here while your at it too. There's already enough whiners.

I don't remember any of these events... I think the point is still valid that you, being a long time player, a previous event participator, and an intelligent being, should have known what to expect and taken measures accordingly to protect your interests. Don't blame Kisu for stealing your tokens. =)

So every person complaining was staying to get a hat? That's a bit of a stretch.

I too didn't care for the hat, but I stayed around for the presents.
