I like it, but I didn't completely hate it to begin with. I can understand why a lot of people didn't like this years hats, they only really work good on female characters. It looks very odd on my male Warrior, but my female Ele looks great with it, especially with the glacial gauntlets, and these little tweaks really help. The brighter ice looks a lot better.

it does look a little better, but the "wig" is SOOO BADD.. I really don't know what they strayed so far from the original concept.. Yes people didn't like the baldness of some of the hats, but the Andy Warhol wig is HEINOUS. it's nice to see they fixed(a teeny bit) something that looked ugly, but it's almost not worth mentioning..

hm,m ,ya looks more like ice now ^^

I found old one good enougjh, but now i like it far more, even when i must say, that it is still a bit away from its origin ..

*missing the white feathery around the hat. Ingame it looks only like a mini ring of fur*

and ya.. a nice glowing animated effect would be most awesome

Seems to be a reasonable success as far as numbers go. About a third of the people here are saying it looks much better/are happy with it, another third are saying it's better although not quite what they were hoping for, while the last third are still griping.

All in all, probably worth it. And considering Gaile noted it was highly unlikely they'd change anything, it's a minor miracle as well.

Still kind of off from the artist's representation, but a great improvement.

Thanks ANet! I promise to mail you a piece of salami if you keep up the great work.

Once they give it a slight Chaoslike glow, it'll be perfect.

But right now, it's still no good compared to the original concept. Better than before, but still not good enough.

Oh come on, i might actually wear it sometimes

But i see your point, i don't wear headpieces that much, they are just nice to have even if they don't have armor and i can't wear them in battle.*cough*

Just be grateful

I thought the crown was fine as it was, it shines more now. Don't really care much cause I can't put insignias on it.
Was really hoping to unload those cc shards....

You don't have any hair when wearing a few hats, the Stylish Yule Cap we got last year for example, my character has heaps of hair and then i put the hat on and Wah-Lah! He's a bold man wearing a Santa Hat.

THIS they have time for... Seriously. What's Anet doing? Look into your millions of knows bugs, and fix them before mass banning ppl. Dont waste time on festival hat texture improvement... sheesh... another negative point on my Anet respect balance.
