Seriously. Pretty dull "hats" this year. At least it s something I guess.

By the way any official word on the bugged 3-Mod-Items? Maybe someone should look into this (see thread in Price Check)

Yeah after commenting on a thread disagreeing with a re roll. I now fully support a re-roll so Anet can put 5 more minutes into these hats.

I like the ears and, to a lesser extent, the goggles. :-\

They're interesting, fun, and actually look decent to wear throughout the year.
(And they don't make me bleedin' hair disappear.)

Edit: Really wish they could be dyed though... I could see the logic with helms like the Ice Shard Crest (though I'd love to have it in black or crimson), but there's really no reason these shouldn't be dyeable. :-(

(And, though it would likely be impractical to code, I want my nekomimi meganekko, damnit. >_>)

WTF, the blindfold disappears when the ears are displayed. Thought the ears, being put on top of the head, can be displayed with regular headgear

What are you talking about?

Event headgear always replaced normal headgear in appearance, when toggled on.

It seems like they messed up this year's masks for the good of (paid) costumes.

I know people have been asking for the cat ears for a long, long time. They look good on some characters, but really bad on others. The goggles - meh.

Because this year "masks" are more like decorations, not masks? Can't see the problem.

Anyone noticed problems with getting them? I didn't received my goggles despite active event attendance.

Problem is that most players think that are failed choices.
A necro with cat ears....Or goggles which are so way off of Guild wars 1 chars.
I could see them fit if we had some Asura playable characters but still..

It doesn't matter what Anet picks for hats, 'most' players will think that those are failed choices anyway. It's been like this for years.

Though in a week the complaints and disappointments will fade, and the people that were content with their gifts can happily play with them.

Most players think every hat is bad. What's your point? This community loves to complain about everything. Especially gifts!

I haven't been all that excited about the hats released after 2006, but that's mostly because my characters are female. I'm not saying the previous hats were bad. I'm just saying they were a little masculine and not really my style. We are all different.

Don't like the hats this year? Slap on a hat you actually like and get over it. Rawr.

I'm pleased with the hats this year.

Oh and want to talk about quality? I paid $10 for 2 costumes that have the same issue every other costume has and got 2 free hats that don't. I love the costumes, but the sparkling edges still bug me a bit.

I was outta town so i didn't participate in Halloween...

Now :

"What's the difference between Lazarus the Dire and Kormir?"
"One never got what they deserved and the other never deserved what they got!"

I'm guessing this is the new joke. Does it mean what i think it means? More importantly this part :
"Kormir" - "... never deserved what they got!"

I didn't knew anet is sharing the same opinion as the 95% of gw players. That Kormir DID NOT deserve the status of god.

Me thinks gw2 and possibilities.

All in all, I actually like both the ears and the goggles this year. They don't feel over-the-top ridiculous like the paper-maché-and-balloon animal helmets of years past.

I'm aware of that. But since we got decorations/accessories rather than masks, i hoped to be able to display both ears and standard headgear.

For those who didnt get a hat, perhaps related the following is.
I just noticed in LA, that for a player, ToT bags and the hat were dropped on the ground.
I presume then they were not auto added to that players inventory.
And if said player logs off/looses connection or rezones (without picking them up first) these items (on the ground) will be lost.

The game can't put things in your inventory if you don't have space, so they end up on the ground.

I wonder what those earthquakes are about that we experience during MTK's visits? O_o

Love the neko ears, and the steampunk goggles look good with the female court outfit.

Now, if I could change my main's hairstyle without having to spend $10.

Just this once I'm going to chime in and declare that I'm very content with this year's festival headgear. For one thing, I think they suit my mesmer. I'm delighted to see that someone else also thought of this:

It's a shame I can't actually wear them like that in-game.

Fun fact: "Cat girls/boys" did not originate in anime, neither did goggles for that matter.

I think he's aiming the anime remark,that alot of people who like the cat ears, also like anime. Don't worry. This isn't uncommon on the internet or any online game for that matter.

Goggles are again pure waste.

Seriously. Cat ears and goggles definitely pre-date anime. And steampunk isn't exactly a popular anime theme, anyway - it's more prevalent in western comics.

As ever, though, people have to complain about something. Generally without having a clue what goes into making game assets.

I want the witch hat but will never have it as it's from before I played GW. So the cat ears are the first event mask I've actually cared about other than that. So, yay kitty ears <3

Meh. A bit of a dud for the hats. Cat ears are cute. Spectercles? Who cares. It looks most of the hats, etc. will now be duds because Anet wants you to pay for the much cooler looking costumes.

The Halloween costumes are the first ones I've bought because I just couldn't resist. A headless hat or flaming pumpkin head would have been very cool festival hats.

I like anime, not a fan of either of the masks (I will let that term stand for now) this year.

I am sure there are still a lot of people who would like the witches hat or a HAT instead of things like face paint and such......(including me)

Not too fond of the glasses, the cat ears could be worse though. At least I might wear these hats on occasion, as opposed to the hats from the last 3 years past.

Please punch yourself since I can't do it from here.
These goggles have nothing to do with Naruto.
If anything, it's you know.. MAD SCIENTISTS aka Asura related.
