    When they said hat fashio was coming out I was expecting to be part of the fashion sets,so they'd range from baseball hats to tubular hats as eatwithspoons wanted.What I see in the shop are some really awfull emo haircuts with some really awfull accesory.I wouldn't wear such things not even stoned,drunk and wearing a red dress.

    That was my point though. Movies, roller skating, camping trips, vacations, etc. all are things that by themself do not give you a material thing for your money you spent on them. While you can buy things as a memento, these things by themself leave you no lasting compensation for all that money spent over your life other than the memories themself. Not all movies are good, not all trips/vacations will necessarily go well either.

    One would hope that someone playing this game for as long as it takes to gain end game did enjoy their time on it, and any money spent on it is therefore worthwhile. There are aberrations, the people who oracle 70%+ of their level and such, but more worrisome than a heavy CSer would be someone spending so much of their life on an experience that they really don't enjoy.



    I may have overlooked your point. My apologies. I've just been a little, ruffled, over the re-release of these packs, and I'm getting kind of intense in my thoughts and posts lol.

    I agree though, if you enjoy the experience, then it was worth it. But it still boggles me that people can spend as much as a new car on the game, just to get the level of enjoyment that they do. They are the ones that are getting massive injections of fun (being acquiring new/stronger gear, etc) so much that their tolerance (think of alcohol, and drinking lots/regularly) has gone up so they keep injecting themselves with this shot (packs, CS in general), and it simply astounds me.

    I think of it as PW being a bar, the Devs being the bartender, and the players as the alcoholics(please don't take this out of context and be offended, I'm using this as an example). The Devs had begun the bar as a free drinks for all offered for a couple hours, then they switch to offering more and more alcohol (content) for prices that get higher and higher, starting to divide the 'playerbase' slightly. Then they offer the most exquisite of drinks, but only if you buy a box with random pieces of paper saying what type of drink you get for a low price. Now, they are shoveling so much alcohol (CS content) to the alcoholics (with the alcoholics still having to pay for it) that the tolerance is going up, and soon they need more and more. Well, soon that bar, instead of being a social place where you could go to play pool with friends, converse and just plain interact with other people freely, becomes strictly a bar. If you're not drinking, you're left in the dust, and to stay active, you would need to drink more and more, and that's singling out the people who don't have disposable incomes (or for sake of my examples' argument, say you left your wallet/purse at home, and only had the $20 in your pocket) for those who can afford to keep the injections up. They've given us a taste of what it can really be like, gotten us addicted, and then moved it from being open to all, to being generally available to a limited few. It's discriminatory to say the least, and very offensive. How do you feel if you were put into that bar's situation?


    I mean, that's about the best I can do to accurately describe what's going on, and I get a little ramped up over these things.


    So again, I apologize to you since I apparently misunderstood your post, but I'm just trying to clear up (1, for myself, and 2, to anyone who reads my posts) that I understand where you're coming from, and I agree. As long as you enjoy the experience, and have been able to comfortably enjoy it, grand.


    But part of the problem is that some people get severely addicted, and want more and more, even if they cannot financially, or emotionally, handle it. And the Devs are utilizing this for their own means, whether or not it has a negative impact on the end user. That's part of why I'm upset about this.

    If you don't like it, don't buy it. Complaining about business greed over a vanity item that has no effect on game play is pushing it a bit, imo.

    i agree somewhat with the OP's sentiment. i too lost my hairstyle with the bug. and yes, the other races MOST DEFINITELY SHOULD get an upgrade to the normal hairstyles.

    but the wigs are ok too. they're extras, if you wanna change your look for a little while. but the default hairstyles should be on par with the wigs.

    and id like to see at least one wig WITHOUT a hat, or barette, or headband.

    Hey, how sweet is this? The Tideborn character models came out with a lot of sweet new hair. But were there any new hair updates for other classes? A few. One of them was a bug. Or maybe two. People's hair changed without them knowing.

    Luckily, we now have these awesome new items in the boutique that are basically wigs! "Hair items" for girls equates to a little barette here or there, which is basically what most of our hairstyles in the customization section have anyway. Why exactly are we being forced to pay five gold for these? Why are they not just in the character customization? Put them in with the rest of the hair choices, have a makeover scroll sale, and make just as much money. What a joke.

    We are not "forced" to buy anything.

    I hate all the new hair, I was rather glad for the "fitting room". I was able to try them on my character before I bought them. I didn't like any of them. And at 5 gold each???? Are you kidding me? I expected 2 gold, tops.

    as much as i like the new hairstyles in the boutique...i'm not willing to pay 5 gold for it, they should have made it like 2 gold instead.

    if it was 1 gold, I'd have bought all of them for every character I have. Would have been nice to be able to change stuff when I get bored. However, I'm not willing to pay 5 gold for it either. The options for fems aren't even that great. We got no hats, no sunglasses, no scarves even!

    I was actually really looking forward to fashion headgear, and am pleased that they finally came out. Kudos, devs.

    Now for the complaints... ;)
    • Price is too high. 5 gold is more than what a lot of full-body outfits cost. I was expecting them to be closer to 2 gold, same price as gloves or footwear (which cover a similar portion of the body).
    • Female headgear is rather unimpressive. Males get hats and sunglasses, while females get... little bitty hair ornaments? At least give us a couple of hats or something...
    • Headgear overwrites default hairstyle. Yeah, I understand the technical limitations behind applying a hat or ornament to your default hair, given the huge number of hairstyles out there, and that it's just easier to make the fashion change your hairstyle as well. Unfortunately, I'm awfully fond of my hair, so I probably won't be buying any head fashion like I was planning to.

    On the positive side, the changes to fashion preview gives me something new to play with while doing my World Quest ;)

    My complaint list is pretty much the same. I quoted yours so I could be lazy and not write it out!

    For $5 per hair ornament, I expect them to hire a graphics artist to go through all the existing hairstyles and make a duplicate version with the ornament. Then to give anyone who buys it an option to toggle between old hair and new hair per ornament (in case it looks bad with your old hair).

    The only good thing about the male stuff would have been the sunglasses - but as they decided to attach said sunglasses to one of the silliest looking hairstyles I've ever seen . . . like I said - no temptation for me to buy now.

    i love how this is their solution for lack of new hair customization for other classes. remember when Surtr was saying you could get TB hair as long as you just move the ini files? then Spoons later said you couldn't? at that point i guessed that they were going to start selling new hairstyles instead.

    When was this?

    Fashion is apparently extremely profitable, so no surprise they'd go this route. Simple -- don't friggen buy it. Nobody buys it, it sends a message. However, do you really think that's going to happen? No, people are going to buy it anyways. I really never understood why people give so much a **** about fash, esp wigs of all the silly things. Nonetheless, bottom line is don't buy it if you don't want 'em. The best way to speak is with your wallet or coins.
