Suggestion to Anet:
Have an NPC in L.A. and Kamadan hand out both hats for free next week until the event stops, so everyone can get both hats on all their accounts. This is just annoying.
And if you redo the entire event on a different day, chances are people won't have the time to replay it, because of work/school etc. and they'll be pretty p*ssed. So just hand out the hats.

I had a few in my inventory but never got the hat. I placed them all in storage for the next showing and got the Dwayna hat.
Right, but I had two of them with me (Zombie face mask and Char) and was even wearing the zombie one and still got Dwayna's but not Grenths. It seems after the first one things got wacky O.o

The hats need to go away so people can have closure on their collections. Time to get off the treadmill of the obligatory hats.

That still shouldn't explain it - I got my first hat just fine, and my monklet's been wearing a Rudi hat all Wintersday. And anyone who's been wearing a new hat in the districts I went to has been wearing one from the first round of finales, not anything from the current ones.

My two accounts and my son this time, all in the same districts again, trying for the Grenth hat. Both times Grenth won and we got presents.

LA EED11 - he got a hat, neither of mine did.

Kamadan EED7 - my second got a hat, my main didn't, son didn't bother as he has both hats now (*shakes fist at lucky son* ).

I'd just like to put my +1 on the request for an NPC that will stick around for a few weeks to dispense the bugged hats for free. I would hate to see the profiteering that would go on if they wanted candy shards or the like to get them...

Easiest fix is to just make the hat guy have these hats craftable for everyone, as if we had shown them to him. Easy, quick fix, and they can then take the months it will take them to track down the source of the problem (XTH style), without half the community out for their blood.

Yeah, this. The hats were supposed to have been given for free anyway, unlike Dragon Festival masks. (If they require candy cane shards, the collective screams from all the players will probably shatter the windows in the Anet HQ.)

Out of curiosity, when did you get those tiaras? The most recent round?

I had 4 accounts in the same district (Kamadan American Dist 13). 3 of them got it, 1 of them didn't. I assume this happened in the first round since I woke up after the second round and people were already complaining.

Euro dist 1 got me Grenth on first game, but no luck with any of the other districts even with Kamadan cheat. I'm trying to figure out possible solutions for this so 1 was to trash the current hat (after giving to maker of course), didn't work. I'm going to re-log and see if that has any effect. In case this also helps, I'll take the costume off too.

Personally, the idea I liked over all others was to put ALL past festival hats in the Gold Zcoin trader. Hell, I'd have no issues paying 5 or even 10 golds to get a pumpkin crown for my main account..It'd also make it possible to get the old hats I accidentally deleted back, as I was on a dumbass bender one day and accidentally deleted a few I'd not taken to the hat keeper.

Anything is better than having to use my alt as main just so I can wear a pumpkin crown..

And yes..I do like the Pumpkin Crown that much. Don't you?

I'd rather have hats available at the festival hat guy for another week than a whole new event.

Not sure, it was either the 2nd or 3rd round, I went to bed after the first round & woke up at the very end of the 3rd round, tiara's were already there when I got to my PC.

First round all 4 accounts received a Tiara. 2 in Odd Districts 2 in Even Districts.

Oh, okay. I missed the 2nd, but nobody I know has managed to get any hats from the 3rd. The first was fine.

I was in the district before it began.
Not sure wich halt would have gotten but I assume it would be Grent's given it's an odd number.

Got the Dwayna hat just fine in Kamadan, swapped to LA to park for the Grenth hat, no hat. I showed the hat to the hat keeper and removed removed the Dwayna hat from inventory and am hoping to get the Grenth one when it starts again in about 20 minutes.

And the idea of zcoins for old hats would make me very happy. I missed some of the hats due to vacations etc, and would love to have the ability to have all of them. Also, I know a lot of people who no longer have the first years hats because they deleted them to make space long before they added the festival hat keeper to the game.

This, please.

Also, the only hat I got this event was the Snow Crystal Crest, even though I was also in Kamadan one round and then went AFK overnight in a Grenth-aligned LA district.
