Decorative Helmets and a new Shield

[Schattengaenger]

Hello fellow Hearthlings,

In the last Jorb-Stream I wanted to know if we could get a new helmet (maybe in form of a crusader helmet)
aswell as a Kite-shield.

A valid concern was brought up by Jorb on this:
If we implement a beter or new helmet everyone is going to neglect the older potentially worse one for the better.

The kite shield wasn't really an issue since it could just be a shield with a greater protection for even greater penaalty on Agility. But I have come up with a way to make new helmets not OP: make them cash-shop items like the hats since everyone is doing that anyway because most helmets don't really look all that good. I don't mind spending money on decorative items without any real advantage ... after all that is the idea behind the head right?
So how about that?

Make different armors better against different weapons. And add more weapons.

this ^^ different weapons countering each other would make combat interesting.

An estoc for example would be a weapon with more armor penetration but less damage thus it is worse than a sword against lightly armored targets but better at dealing at least some damage against heavily armored people. Something like that?

Just to show how useless striking a person in plate armor is useless using techniques like half-swording or what they show in the video.
