sixdartbart · Jan 01, 2011, 08:22 AM // 08:22

that didn't take long for someone to come cry...

Xavier Nordain · Jan 01, 2011, 08:23 AM // 08:23

I like the Demonic Horns...they seem like a great fit with the Lich custome in my opinion.

Lichtenberg · Jan 01, 2011, 08:26 AM // 08:26

Stop complaining, they are a lot better than last years.

End · Jan 01, 2011, 08:27 AM // 08:27

They know people will QQ no matter how much work they put in..so why bother putting in alot of work?

Warrior Bradols · Jan 01, 2011, 08:30 AM // 08:30

i personally dont mind the horns, but i was just making a thread because i see some complaining in game and wanted to see other peoples opinons.

Isn't it obvious? They were meant for the costumes, not individual wear.

This. Right here, this quote wins the entire freaking thread.

At least they're not crystal doilies stuck to our faces.

i think they are better than a LOT of the old ones that were given. the halo is awesome, but the horns are too big on my female chars.

Warrior Bradols · Jan 01, 2011, 08:36 AM // 08:36

i think more so i dont like the halo because it has some clipping issues on a feew hair styles, but i do agree it beats the last couple of years.

Nuime · Jan 01, 2011, 08:39 AM // 08:39

The animations and the fact (at least the halo, don't know about the horns) the hats can be worn when you use tonics is pretty awesome, I think.

People always gripe... And to that I go... well, what were you expecting? I mean, really? You've seen all the other hats/crowns/etc that have been given out. Why do you have this expectation that they will be "OMFGSUPERAWESOME" every year and then whine when they don't meet your expectations?

Silly kiddies... stop QQing and oh, I don't know... just enjoy the event? Or don't... and go do something else.

Nyta · Jan 01, 2011, 08:39 AM // 08:39

I haven't seen the horns yet, but the halo's cute. A bit too bright to wear too often, but still really cute.

Kosar The Cruel · Jan 01, 2011, 08:41 AM // 08:41

Horns are cool, Hellboy-ish look to them.

Just be happy Anet even does an event...

Although I see your point, I do believe they'll go great with most Necro's attire as well.

Arshay Duskbrow · Jan 01, 2011, 08:43 AM // 08:43

Both horns and halo are awesome. Don't listen to the naysayers, this year's hats are well-designed and well-executed. Bravo Anet for once again going the extra mile on new free content.

I have to say though, it's stuff like this that makes me wish festival hats were going to be inherited by our GW2 account...

Charlie Dayman · Jan 01, 2011, 08:46 AM // 08:46

The new hats are a fun addition. I appreciate how they're a bit more of an accessory than a hat that only sees use during Wintersday.

Warrior Bradols · Jan 01, 2011, 08:56 AM // 08:56

re edited the thread because it felt like everyone was trying to have a go at me so, changed it to be more on what the thread was made for.

Moonstalker · Jan 01, 2011, 09:02 AM // 09:02

It's a bonus that is not a necessity in any way, shape, or form. If anyone complains, they are stepping out of line already and forgetting that they didn't have to do anything or go out of their way to get the hats in the first place, as Arena Net didn't have to do anything or go out of their way to try and please the community.

I personally like them both. Horns seem a bit wonky on a monk that's like 4'8 though :P

1. I like that we get events and new hats at all. After this many years, of course the well is running a little dry.

2. The halo is pretty cute, and fits with the traditional holiday theme. I'm not sure how demon horns have anything to do with Wintersday, but I'm not all up on GW lore. They do seem to go with the Balthazar/Lich costumes, though. But I don't own any costumes. And none of my characters go in the big, mean, ugly direction, so these are kind of "meh." YMMV.

3. As a newer player, I do kind of long to have my own santa hat and wreath crown. But, well...*shrug*

Overall, no complaints. Grateful for goodies. Thumb's up.
