Make the festival hat's armor scale, like Hero armor does. So we could actually use them outside of just dusting them off for events. Possibly allow insignia at level 20? Or a quest to upgrade the Festival Hats NPC?

Running with a Mummy Head part would be cool IF they had armor but my mummy hat its already at the hat npc and obviously trashed for something more important.

PS: It's not lack of appreciation why players do this.

/signed. I never use my festival hats until a holiday comes. It would be great to wear them in battle and have a use.

With the new common armor released in GW:EN, festival hats should follow suit. And hell, throw in other pieces of holiday armor while we're at it! At least some gloves, too. That would rock.

Especially if they make the past hats available again say for a fee and collectable items form that holiday. (ie 5k and 50 witches brew for the wicked hat if you dind't have before.)

I haven't touch my hats since winterfest. Add armor will make me use it 100% of the time (first pumpkin hat)

um why would you want to sacrifice your +1 to whatever +1,2,3 runes for a Event hat which can have a insignia?? no clue why anyone would sacrifice the real helmets armor-runes-insignas for a Event hat with armor-insignas.

If a.net wanted playes to be running around with antlers and pumpkin heads while actually playing competitvely, they would have just made them max armor in the first place.

the decorative helmets already exist at max level: Bandanna, Blindfold, ninja mask, crown, dread mask, etc.

the holiday helms aren't made to be defensive.

I don't wanna see stuff like that all the time, the game becomes kinda dumb if all you ever see is characters wearing pumpkins and stuff. Its a special helm, not a general one.

They're called "masks" for a reason.

I was going to make a thread about this. I think they should be scaled to level because it's an event hat. I almost never wear any event hats because it gives no levels. Even if you wear it in town, not many people notice it. But if you bring it into a mission people will. And the hat has a unique skin. Scaling the AL will allow us to use mask anywhere. But it might be a little cheap cause it can override a 15k helmet for the cost of 10g. (You dont need helmets for HoM armor stand things)

Would be good if armor crafters can at least charge 1k to make a festival hat max armor with the same attribute bonus as the new head gear. We already have people running around in bandannas, spectacles, and shades.

The game already looks dumb in my opinion when people have max armor on a pair of sunglasses.

Hm... some would be nice.... like the mummy mask with the Ancient armors...

Other would be gruesome, like the dragon or Lion masks...

So... maybe with an option to hide others festival masks...

But, anyways, more armor would take more gold. So, to make a max armor versio, characters should pay 1,5..2k.

Mesmer, Rangers, and Assassins all have armored masks, so we should probably make festival masks only scale for these 3 professions. I like your style.

I'm pretty sure that 10g is set in stone and cannot be changed.

Make it cost 1.5k to get a max armor mask. That way both sides are happy, you get a max armor mask but aren't getting a 1.5k helmet for 10g.

I agree with Skuld on this one. Its for a holiday. If you wear it all the time it kind of loses its meaning.

With the hundreds of districts full of people all getting their hats, and after getting them 90% of these people wearing them, they kinda don't start out very special. Then, you don't see them at all (seriously - ever) unless there is another holiday, be it official or player-made. Then they lose their "specialness" again.

Honestly, all this would do is give everyone more options, which in turn mean more uniqueness. Sure, at first, you may have a larger majority of players running around in dragon masks, pumpkin crowns, jester caps, etc. After a while, that novelty will wear off, and many will go back to normal headgear. Except for a select few. It will balance out, and we will be left with just a lot more options than before. I don't see how that's a bad thing at all.

They could always make some sort of quest or some sort of cost to "fortify" the hat. So you could still by the unarmored versions for 10g, and maybe take it to another npc(or the same one) and fullfill some sort of requirement like a quest or materials(or both).

That way not everyoe is running around all willy nilly with this crap, though it will still be an option(which I am all for)

If theres gonna be queer looking sunglasses that have armor, then the queer looking masks should have armor too.

edit: ooh even better make it a holiday quest, so its only available during the holidays.

More armour options are always good. And a price of 1.5k for max armour so you can't get a max helm for 10g. Though I guess you could get a collector helm for free...

i think you should have to pay 1k to upgrade it, though.

Plz oh please Anet. Or make it like how Hero armor works.

It would just require another ialog entry:

- "I want to show you a hat."
- "I want you to make me a hat."
- "I want you to make me a helm looking like a hat." OR "I want you to make a reinforced hat."

The hats in the third list would be the same, but taking more gold and being made with armor based on your level.
