^ I think you mean this halo
And yes, the hats are great this year. Hats off Anet! (and that was my bad joke of the year)

God forbid anyone in the Guild Wars community have an opinion or constructive criticism.
I would feel like garbage if every time I worked hard on something and released it to see what the community thought, all I got was "It's new free content! Don't complain!!!!!" Personally I think the bar is a little higher than that and I think it's insulting to the people on the Live Team every time people bang on about new free content (as if it's a given it's going to be shit or sub par simply because it's new and free). Banging on about "new free content" imo is more insulting that someone criticising the content itself, at least the critics believe you can produce good quality work, the "it's new free content" crowd are always lowering expectations simply because it's free.
Personally I like both hats. The horns don't seem to go with any of my toons at all - they are too big and I don't like the Lich costume, I tried them with Elite Charr Hide armour but the red glowing parts contrast too much with the brown.
I like the halo although it's kind of like an almost used up yellow life saver on minimum graphics settings. Someone in GtoB said it looks like a tiny ring of fairies peeing on your head which I can also see. Personally I'm going to use it on my paragon... I don't like the crests so it kind of complements the class better.
Personally I'm glad they are creating more festival hats which act as accessories allowing me to see my character's face and use them to create different looks. The old "full head hat" thing took away too much of your character's unique looks and I never liked hiding my face - I still use the Halloween ones. The shift towards more glowy stuff is also cool I guess.
Better than last years but not better than the spectercles. The spectercles are still the best hat ever and I don't even like steam punk. I just like hats that fit into the setting a bit better and mix well with armours already in the game.

Objectively quality wise, the Halo and Horns look good imo. 
Much better then the 2D Snow Crystal Crest from last year (though i did like the 3D Ice Shard Crest).
Whether folks like them is more personal taste i am gonna say.
I also like them in that respect.
Dont know yet if i have character they look good on though.

Bellatrixa I actually have an armour that I think suits that mask/headgear
Horns are decent, reminds me of the baddie from the film 'Legend' and have wtb Destroyer Gauntlets written all over them. Not yet got the Halo, I ran to the circle with most people on without paying much attention, my own fault really
