Holiday Headgear

its seems silly to me that GW has introduced so many holiday headgears that nobody wears because of the fact they provide no armor an no bonuses.

I propose a sort of holiday customization that allows you to:
1) select which bonus you want (ie: +1 Marksmanship)
2) apply an armor class (ie: armor 70)

you would be able to pay for customization with event items (ie: jade wind orbs) or gold.

if this was put into place then we would see alot more of these items being worn for more than holliday games.

whatcha guys think?

Absolutely no reason not to do everything listed in the original post.

No armor on holiday helms is ludicrous.

I agree, i want a helm for my ranger that gives me + 70 armor and +1beastmastery. But then you have to think about the ascalon helm that has damage reduction for warriors as well as +1 tactics, would they allow +1 axe mastery and damage reduction?

/signed anyway

Just let 1 mod. Noone wears the ascalon helm either way.

yeah it would be cool to go ti fight with that helmet (and still have your armor)

then they should raise amount of items needed to trade...like 5k orbs or smthing

As long as it did not create an head armor peice that you could not get from an armorer. So it would be the same at best then regular armor.

how about we just have it so we can wear it over our original helmets?

They are for fun, but due to not having the storage for them, there's no point in taking part in the festivals or getting them as they need to be destroyed a few days later as to make room for stuff you do need.

Adding more storage spots so you can have "fun stuff" is needed, untill then, adding AC and attribute mods to them is the only other option I can see. - besides in the form of fun, nothing would be more fun then seeing a necro wearing a pumpkin hat or a monk in a santa cap in battle.

-- And I know a ton of people who use the ascalon charr helm

Totally agree.

NO! The PVP helms gives a tell to other people what build they are running. IF the holiday helm gets this, axe,sword,fire,water,earth. Everyone wearing holiday helms, people will be more puzzled as ever!

sooo /sign :X

/signed

They're meant to be for fun. Plus it would make people where them more and people who didn't get them would feel worse.

/notsigned

Explain how in the hell its possible to get a PVP char a helm. If its a PVE char... ASK THEM WHAT BUILD THEYRE USING. Its called communication.

I would enjoy getting to make the holiday hats more useful than a decoration to wear around town, even if we had to get more of the holiday items (orbs, cc shards, whatever) or add gold and crafting items later on to make it a battle-ready helm. Can't go wrong with more ways to have fun that don't unbalance the game.

It's a special event reward. It has no purpose other than show. And people still want them and participate in the events!

Keep it like that.

Wear it to fight at your own peril!

I think the problem is that it would allow too easy access to low levels to max armor items. IMO, when its worn it should also leave your previous helm on (like a second area) and would just change the skins, not the defence or enchantments. anthough this raises the whole "it not making sense to wear two helmets and it doesnt show the first one" thing. I dont know, it probably should just be left as is...

/undecided as of yet

/notsigned

They're for fun... Silly stuff... I don't want to see players in GvG running around with tengu masks and santa hats.

there was a better suggestion for all the holiday helms/masks.

it was making it account - unlockable. let all chars type a command or have a place to take them out and delete again. save storage room. beable to use them on anyone YOU have on your account. instead of now potentially - (negative) 5 spaces for all your chars, if you got pumpkin crown,yule cap, grenths antlers, tengu mask, now the dragon mask coming. that loss of room is painful for me and alot of other people.

innovation is what gw is all about

THEY are JUST for FUN.
