hi,

i know that many people like some of the festival hats and i came up with this idea
we could let the festival hats be crafted in a current version of 15g or as a 1k armor piece at the festival hat maker
we could make a new tab for it like, lets just say "Please craft me a combat version of a hat"
these would be crafted at the normal prices as headgear
as an example the new grasping mask

Grasping mask 25 bones, 4 steel ingots, 1 platinum

this would be real easy to do, all anet has to do is script a vendor screen for the festival hat guy and give the craftable hats there some AL rating
to prevent a huge tab full of headgear for all attributes these festival armors these armors would be an item's Attribute + 1 headgear like the spectacles or dread mask
anyway that's my 2 cents on the whole thing
hope to see some good response on this
peace

/signed. Why stop here though? Why not the other festival hats?

It's a good idea, but it wont happen.

Did you even read the post? In the title is clearly states Festival HATS and the OP stated the grasping mask as an example.

/signed
but that however may provide early max armor parts which can only be obtained later in the game,(ignore runs/ferrys)

make it a level 20 only feature

EDIT: they already added max weps obtainable at low level(BMP), so i'm ignore my point

/signed Do want. They are just so useless right now...

Make it scale like hero armor. So max armor is only for lvl 20, while for example level 10 elem will have 30 armor.

I agree, Anet should add all festival hats from the past and new ones as they come as armor pieces.

Just so I can use a mask instead of a lot of the ugly headgears out there

Festival hats should be for fun, we don't need people wearing them all the time. Makes them less special.

I like the OP idea in theory but I'm all for festive at the time. I hate those people who still have Christmas decorations up in March.

I would call festivals "special" as they only come about 5 times a year.

It'd be nice.

1. Scales like hero armor. So it's defensive rating would be based on your level. (prevents lowbies from getting max rated headgear right away)
2. Crafter can only make hats that you own.
3. Crafter would craft each hat for 1k and some mats. Same mats would be used for all headgears. Core materials only.

Does this take away from these things being special?
No. People have them anyway, it just allows them to wear them outside of towns.

Does it guarantee everyone will use them?
Not at all. Once the novelty wears off it'll die down in pugs. And at least it's a change from the norm.

agreed. you already see them around towns alll year long why not let them be head gear.

Defeats the whole point of festival hats. They were made with 0 AL for a reason.

Hollow Gein · Jul 07, 2008, 03:57 AM // 03:57

/signed. I would be so happy if they did this

gremlin · Jul 07, 2008, 04:04 AM // 04:04

My first thought was what a bunch of wimps, go on adventure with a pumpkin hat.
So you have zero head armour, so what your big and tough aren't you.

But then I relented so ok /Signed for armoured hats and you can scale the armour value by level or by other armour worn.
I trust we will treat those that wear them all year round as demented idiots not worth pugging with.

But no way do you get festival hats from events you were not at, its not that its a big deal it's only a hat.
But it's a hat I have and you don't so there

The hat maker should have an option to make 'Reinforced' masks.

Click the option, and a crafting panel appears, with the cost (1000gold) and the materials.

Some people may say that 'festival hats' are only for festivals, but truth is that there are some of them that look better than some armor headgear pieces, like the Grasping mask or the Ice Crown.

You already see a lot of people with those horrible bandanas, that are way uglier than any of the Festival Masks.
