Dev please make the 'Luck Hat' ..Luckier :)

[Elrok]

Hi Devs -

I was fortunate enough to win a lucky hat in the trivia contest. (thanks for a great event by the way). The hat graphic is great and I would love to wear it around, but because the hat cannot complete with the effects of other helms 'minos legend' etc. I don't get to wear it often.. here is an idea where the cool hat graphic could still be used.

Allow 'luck hat' to take on the properties of another helm using the stone of change.

1. put 'lucky hat' and other helm in stone of change
2. 'lucky hat' takes on properties of other helm
3. other helm is destroyed after properties are transferred

This could be repeated as often as desired to allow you to use the lucky hat as you level up.. taking on properties of stronger helms as you level. When the process is run again, all previous copied properties are lost , so the 'luck hat' is cleared of old properties before taking on properties of the new hat.

Please, please consider this change. It would make this awesome hat even better!

Another way to achieve a similar effect is to make the Lucky hat not a hat at all, but a slotless clicky item like a potion. Clicking it once would change your hat graphic to Lucky Hat, and clicking it again (or dying) would turn that off.

/not signed unless they are going to put these into the regular loot tables of say the new low level raid or otherwise make it fair that such a small elite event results in an awesome item. I'm glad you were one of the lucky ones to get in and even luckier to actually get an item but what about the thousands of other players?

Need new Green steel recipie like a helmet except it uses a medium horn instead of a power cell:

Plumed Green Steel banded hat. (I'm pretty sure the hat band can be metal for that style of hat.)

It has no added game benefit besides looking cool. Does it matter if your Minos Legens looks like a minotaur, or a lucky hat? Its still heavy fortification and toughness.

Signed; not because I have one, but because I want to see one

Those stupid minotaur horns look... as I said, stupid. Does anyone really believe the halfling ranger has horns? It's not even scary. I'm all for seeing lucky hats runn'n around. Also, they would actually be transferable -- unless after the ritual is complete the item is bound, which would be a smart thing to do.

Else, this would become like... the most epicly-sought item ever because you can transfer a minos helm, etc, as a lucky hat to any character.

Just because you cant get it, it shouldnt make you bitter and not allow others a change.
From the posts I'v read here of those that didnt sign are those that dont have it and probably never will, and are evious that they dont have every item in game to make them the best.

I dont have it nor do I care because some items that are rare like this make the game interesting and make ppl want to come to those ingame events.

[manfredshw]

ok, then make every single helmet can be transfered into others.
I.E: today I found a underwater action helmet, its appearance is cool, so I put the minos helmet and this one into the stone of change, then this underwater helmet will have toughness feat and heavy fort, and minos is gone.

OK? sounds good and fair enough!

For further discuss: what about armors and shield also can be transfered into each other, huh?
I think so it is the stone of change really worth called a "stone of change".

lol~
don't forget the other items, like bows, weapons..

if it becomes true, I will make a blank GS helmet, and transfer its property to minos, I like gs helmet apprance, but I prefer minos property more.

For being a Powergamer, or one who happens to not work on the weekend(good luck with that, my weekend is tues-wed, or wed-thurs), a person was granted a Lucky Hat.

A vast majority of us felt left out, but let it pass.

Please delete this thread.

The problem with events is that they are run during 'prime time' and, believe it or not, not all of us who play DDO live in America. If event items are going to be more than just fun accessories, the devs would need to run events at different times to give all players a reasonable chance at getting those items. I don't see that happening.

Hence...

Also, they would actually be transferable --

lucky hat bound on aquire when the gm traded it to whoever was getting it. which is a shame cuz i was on a level 3 toon that i'll probably never play again when i got it =/

did anyone ever find out what is it that they do?

[Harncw]

Lets see here...

something about horses, mouths, gifts...

o yeah!

"Dont look a gift horse in the mouth!"

[Daedalis]

What....people actually run around with the hat still showing..../showhelmet off.....lol

[Lorien_the_First_One]

devs the pirate bandana I got in an event last year was really kool but has pretty useless effects. Now I know I did nothing for the bandana really and that it would be unfair if it was of any real value since not everyone has a chance to get one, but please let me keep that kool souvenieer but let me uber it up.

I don't care about the lucky hat, and I don't think that really helps more than 2 people out of 20,000.

That said, something has to be done about the minos legens - that was a bad mistake by the Devs. Specifically, it is an extremely powerful and easy to acquire item - so much so that over 90% of toons level 11 and above are wearing it. There is no helmet anywhere in the game that competes at all.

If it were bracers, a ring, a cloak, gloves, boots, a belt, etc. it wouldn't matter too much as they don't display graphically on the character - only your armor/robe/outfit and your hat - nothing else.

So of the 2 items you can wear to change your toon's appearance, one item is the minos legens, so 90%+ of the people look pretty much the same. Thank god for the "/showhelmet off" command or the game would really be a joke with everyone running around wearing the exact same (stupid looking) helmet. The fact that you can hide your helmet and show your hair doesn't make it that much better - all the effort the devs ever put into helmet graphics are completely wasted thanks to the minos legens.

In summary I don't care about your lucky hat, but it would be nice if we could obsolete the minos legens somehow and again see some of the hats the devs have drawn up over the years.

I wouldnt mind being able to put the graphic(IE: skin, appearance, etc) of one item on another, based upon order placed in the altar.

Take your omfgugly armor/shield/helm, put it in the stone with one that has a graphic you like and poof, the omfgugly, yet uber, helm has the graphic of the other helm. NO PROPERTIES of the graphic donator remain other than it's skin.

This way, everyone on every server can wear a minos legens and have a different look... for example..

However, making a change that benefits about 5 people across all servers (just a guess) is not, IMO, a wise move for the Development team. Even if it's only effect is style, it comes down to a you got lucky and got something special. 'Grats to ya, that should be enough and if its not.. quit being greedy.
