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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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...

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.

I don't know why so many people's arguments are "they are just for fun."

There is nothing fun about not being able to use holiday helms during actual gameplay.

Letting you use holiday helms during actual gameplay would make them be immensely more fun and there is no balance issue with it whatsoever because they would have the same stats as the already-available helms.

Letting the "holiday mask skin" be worn over top of your current helmet is an equally great idea and would solve the "low levels getting good helm too easy" issue completely.

Ahahahahaa.. it's REALLY bad in Runescape, most expensive item is a worthless holiday drop that has no armor/stats.

They are generally fun items, nothing needed.

Go ahead sign it's not going to make a difference at all. It's way too silly to see ppl running around with Dragon Mask and Pumpkin Crown with +1 modifiers.

/notsigned.

They should have a hoilday armor that you can collect for fun...
