It's always fun getting the event holiday items, but when do people wear them? So I think Anet should allow people to wear there holiday mask/hat/whatever on/in place of their normal head piece but still have the armor affect of that head piece.
So if I had a 60 armor scar pattern with +4 and -75 hp (vile + sup death) on it, I should be able to wear my pumpkin head but still have the affect of the 60 armor, +4 death magic, and -75 hp. Any runes on holiday items would have to be wiped though. I think this would be fairly easy to do since we can already have our helmet not show and it can't unbalance the game in anyway.
Wear Holiday Items but still have your helmet affect

If they are max. armor, you won't hear me complain.

You should be able to have your Pumpkin Helm or any other holiday mask have the same stats as any other helm available in the game.
If you must pay a gold/material cost to a crafter for this to happen, for the sake of game balance, so be it.

The holiday item itself has no attributes on it. So in your inventory there can be a special slot for a holiday item above your helmet. Then there can be an extra option thing (like wear/disable cape) next to the holiday item saying... Wear (holiday item) in towns and outpost/combat zones/always. And the holiday item will replace the helmet, the helmet stats will still be in affect.

I actually suggested something similar a while back, and it got no love - http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=129819

I love this idea, and extra slot to put the holiday item in, and the options to show and hide it at will.
Basically it be wearing a Hat on top of your normal head gear. At the moment holiday items are fun to collect. But pointless soon after.

I'd say just make it so you can take your holiday helmet or whatever to the weapon smith in your guild hall or armor guy and have it so they can take that and any other helmet and craft them both together so that you get the look of the holiday one with the effects of the one you already got yourself. Now wouldn't that solve all our problems with having too many worthless items in our storage and also have alot more variety in what people wear??!!

I would hate to party with bunch of people wearing a pumpkin head in the middle of june/july or wearing Santa Hats. While it wouldn't bother me with the Tengu or Dragon Mask or Antlers I still say no way! Eye sore ><

It would encourage people to wear thier "funny hats", which would break up the more serious mood that the game is going for. It would just seem strange to see bunch of pumpkin head defeading the Lich or Shiro and saving the world. (or just in any cut scean).
So, if GW is going for the more casual mood in the future (something like RO, where they are known for their head decorations), than yes, but if they want to keep the mood still serious, than no.

well if you think everyone may be wearing santa hats in july, maybe the items can only be seasonal. Pumpkin heads can only be worn around halloween time/event (and have the helmet affect) and the same with all the other items.

Pay crafting expenses to turn it into a usable helm in battle, wear holiday items in season (pumpkin in fall, santa hat in winter) and celebration masks (dragon, tengu) whenever you want. They should let us wear whatever helm/decoration we want in town though

I may not have a holiday headgear, but I soon will (dragon event). Also, it would be hilarious to see a team of pumpkin heads fighting in a GvG or HoH battle. PUMKIN ARMY!!

Actually I think you should be able to purchase a piece of armor with the stats you want and then apply that to the mask

I'd be happy if they would just make them max armor without any other mods to it.

but i doubt this will happen anytime soon. It is way too hard to change the code. Seem like a minor change but trust me ... it's hard. Maybe something for Ch3.

It's a fun article. Not real armor. It's for laughs, not for battle. Let's keep it that way. Ever seen a battle in a movie or game with people dressed up like on a holiday? Nope. Wouldn't want it that way. Not very realistic in a midieval / oriental style RPG

They should add this, but it costs different amounts of money for how much armor you have it have and you can change it at anytime. For example (going with proph), there would be a npc at ascalon and the max you can make the armor would be the max of armor you can buy there. There would be no additional things you can add to the amor (because it would be the look). At ascalon, it would cost about as much as head armor in ascalon. Thenas you got farther, the armor max you can get, and the price increases accordingly. For example, at LA, the armor max and price would be equal to that of the armor you can buy in LA. So buy droks, you could have the same amount of armor on the event head, and it will cost about as much as a droks armor piece. That way, you can have armor equal to your other armor, so you can accually see people wearing their event armors, yet because you would only have the base armor, and no mods for the armor, you won't only see people wearing special event masks.

god... These are special occasion masks. Wearing them out of season makes you look like an idiot, and the penalties for looking like an idiot is 0 armour. The only way not to look like an idiot wearing holiday items is when you're in town, or when its that time of the season.
Special occasion. Meaning "special". they hold nor should they hold anything more than a decoration on your head.

I cant believe how many people have signed this... Im sure there was a thread about this *goes to look*

Well, here's an idea: They could turn the holiday headgear items into items that can be turned on and off like mini-pets. That way, you could leave your regular headgear on, activate the holiday headgear item, and the artwork for your regular headgear would be replaced by the artwork of the holiday item. You wouldn't actually have to have the holiday item take up your helmet armor slot. That would solve the problem without having to add a new NPC to upgrade the items.
