I was loving on my Pilgrim's hat, but then I realized I don't get the bonuses from my Spruce Hat, so I have a suggestion.
1 - Allow us to slot non-armor hats into cosmetic hats.
2 - Allow us to slot any into the German Pointy Helm.
This allows us to retain the items utility while sporting our awesome hat, without hiding armor items in things that don't make sense.

Make Cosmetic Hats Useful
jorb: I don't want *your* money. You are rude and boring. Go away.
Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Re: Make Cosmetic Hats Useful
Why would you do something like this instead of just adding a costume slot?

Because a costume slot could theoretically override any piece of clothing, including metal helmets.Jackard wrote:Why would you do something like this instead of just adding a costume slot?
The idea here is to limit how much you can obscure your actual set up.
If you're wearing armor, you're wearing armor.
If you're wearing a pilgrims hat (Cowboy/Sherlock Hat/Whatever) You're not.
However, if the limitation could stand, grand!

Re: Make Cosmetic Hats Useful
Why limit it to hats?
Going around and smashing critters with the "devz suck!" sign would be hilarious.
But alas, we can't. It would obscure the actual set up, as said above.

Re: Make Cosmetic Hats Useful
No uses for cosmetic items please. Just do what Jackard says, add a cosmetics slot that overrides your appearance.

This amounts to the same thing, provided that cosmetic items can't conceal that you're wearing armor. Hence the "One hat will cover up anything shy of actual armor, the other covers actual armor."burgingham wrote:No uses for cosmetic items please.

We don't need what someone is wearing obfuscated.
