Avatars: Hat and Hair

I would really really like to see hats on top of hair! I've seen it mentioned a few times, but never in a thread of its own. Maybe not even for the full-head hats, but the antlers would look really great with hair underneath (as in the white hair/antler combo).

  • I'd like to see career related hats, like a miners hat, farmers straw hat, maybe a chiqita banana hat for fruit changers, etc...an in game economy developed during this test and I did a lot of mining. I might as well show my profession through my avatar.

  • I too would love to be able to wear the fox hat over my hair - and showing what you're equipped to do could come in really handily!

  • chiquita banana hat for fruit changers is an awesome idea : media.bonnint.net/dado/oss-...

    could also have gas masks for gassifiers

  • I was about to post on the topic but decided to do a search first and found this. :) 

    +1 on having hat and hair! I was disappointed when I clicked on the bobbles (which only cover a small part of the head) and they appeared on a bald head instead of my hair.

  • yeah, i've said it before, but:

    HAT PLUS HAIR! 
    HAT PLUS HAIR! 
    HAT PLUS HAIR!

    i understand that it's going to be a fair chunk of fiddly work in making all the different combinations work well together, and that there are likely various elements that need to be sorted out before that can even happen...

    *but* especially now that we have these gorgeous mardi-gras/labyrinth/etc-esque masks, i must again join the cry for hats plus hairs!

    if not now, maybe the devs will be kind enough to give us an idea of when this might possibly happen?  :)

  •  There's a ton of work involved in this, but even if a few coloured wisps were peeking out from under a hat It would be better.
     If a player with hair decided to put on the bobbles or horns, and especially the masks- perhaps a standard short hairstyle could be applied where only the hair colour could be customized.
    Having said all that.. if it's a choice between hair and water features.... then I'm opting for the ability to ask pigs to act like sea horses.  I have a vision of water-skiing behind a team of piggies.
    Races?

  • i have no idea where that pairing of choices came from, but the vision of water-skiing behind a team of piggies mesmerized me so much that i forgot what i was going to say.

    in conclusion:

    WATER-SKIING WITH PIGGIES!

  • I don't see why only bald avatars should get to wear hats - I think that is hirsuitist!!!
    hey, can we have a beard and moustache option?

  • I actually gave a lot of thought about the difficulty in this to maybe figure out why it hasn't been done yet. From what I can gather, the hats and masks are built from the same 'model' as the hair, both set as 'top' layers, so one cancels out the others. Especially with things like the mardis gras masks, why can't those be rendered like the nose, so it doesn't mess with the hair?

    Personally I love the artwork on both sets of stuff (hats & masks / hair) but I find it harder to bring myself to wear them with the missing hair.

  • Agreed, Travinara: I can see why hair and hats might not mix, but masks should be easier to deal with... as well as horns, which can just punch out of the hair.
