It's like the firefighter's helmet and tri-corner: toss away test items to see if the fanbase was interested in purchasing very specific, inexpensive costume items.
Speaking of which, when is that damn tricorner going to be buyable?

We don't - long dresses are a basic human right - and we could get them if they'd just make them a solid block like the Tsoo and old CoT man-skirts, rather than a separate part that goes over our legs and leads to clipping

Perhaps I'll find a nice secluded cave somewhere and become a hermit as punishment for being so soundly trounced by your superior logic.

It has NOTHING to do with the fact that I need to be up again in four hours. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
It's called humor. The entire string was silly and it made me laugh, at least. Not sure why she gets singled out for that post in all of this, hah.

You have to have a brown hat. And a brown train. Green hat, or pink hat? Enjoy your greenish or pinkish hair.
Agreed. That is the worst decision to make when dealing with such a hat's colors.

I know what you're saying, but it is good to provide the feedback, free or not. It's not like we'd say this just for kicks... we're just trying to help, right?
Plus, this may be something that stays on sale. Or even a part of a bigger pack... I have no idea.

I think this would be the best way to handle the colors.
I agree with you above... the way the colors are set up now, it becomes pretty much unusable except for some odd color choices for either hair or hat... or both.

So now that clipping with Force Field bubble is no longer perceived to be an issue, can we have the Circle of Thorns pope hats?

And can we wear the pope hat on top of the Halloween Brain in a Jar? That would go perfect with my "pope's brain in a jar" character.

Did you not read the entire thread?

I started off with a stupid post wherein I mockingly demanded "gender equality" because of one little free hat. Then GG responded. Then I responded to her. Etc., etc. A Prince (His Royal Badness) reference was made.

I may find GG's black-and-white sense of morality rather naive. I may find her occasional outbursts of "FEMINISM YAY!" to be annoying. I may find her need to always try to appear right, even if all she has is a single word response and a , to be particularly grating. But I've never singled her out for any reason other than to counter a statement she's made. Believe me, there are some posters here who take every opportunity to verbally attack GG; I'm absolutely not one of those posters.

And if you couldn't tell that my last post to her wasn't serious, your sarcasm detector is more than broken, my friend. I'm not even sure you have one!


Anyways: FREE PRINCESS HAT THAT IS APPARENTLY SLIGHTLY OFF-THE-MARK BUT IT'S FREE YAY!

It nicely doubles as a birthday party hat.

This is the type of thing I was expecting. Huzzah!


Also, Hat is innocent. Babies can be pretty dangerous if you don't manage your aggro well.

The only thing I don't like about it is the way the hair color is tied to the hat color - that really limits the color choices for it.

There are a few little things that I don't like so much about CoH - but there are so many big things that I love about the game that the little faults are easy to ignore.

So you're saying that because they're a minority, they should be discriminated against?

I KNEW you had some villain in you! <3

I'm saying that the number of players who'd want to be a male princess is probably too few to make it worth the effort of porting the hat over

That is so profound. My mind is officially blown.

IRL, I'm a fine, upstanding member of my community who regularly donates to and is involved with charitable causes, and lives life by the golden rule. Doesn't mean that in-game, I can't be a slightly-unhinged cybernetic abomination obsessed with mechanical perfection, who has no qualms with "lending" his services to those parties who make the best offers.

FREE PRINCESS HAT! WHO DOESN'T LIKE FREE COSTUME PARTS?!

I don't think the CoT have any place to be talking about anyone else's silly hats ...
