Concerning the construction of the Rainbow Partyhat, by "Collect all the other partyhats" do you mean we will have a free way to obtain them or we'll have to buy them from players who have them?


i think in this case the best, is to give every1 , two phat sets, so you cut 1 up for an untradable rainbow phat, and you keep 1 phat set for urself :)

to Kyra Kiana,

there nothing special about them anymore, if in 2 years they still give phats, or rainbow phats.

some people dont get the point of holiday items, its to show you where playing around that time, in the game,

if people get the same rewards each year, whats the point of getting one.

you see :)


I think there are better ways of having unique items. Maybe an anniversary cape every year. That would show you have been around awhile. I think it's important that all players have access to holiday items whether they are seasoned players or new members. Allowing only seasoned players to have the holiday items creates an elite group.

The point of getting one is to show that you attended the holiday event not that you have a unique item. Holidays should be special for all and not a money making event.

I think that you should give everyone a Phat (or two, preferably, so that we can have a rainbow phat and one of every colour) set and drop crackers all over the world again. A lot of people, including me, were actually not aware of the 4th of July rare drops due to being busy with other things in our lives at that time (I guess we were sure that partyhats would be released at Christmas and not in the middle of the summer). As has already been pointed out, the point of rares really not be to create high-value items but rather vanity items that most people can get their hands on without too much trouble.

Also, a small suggestion: how about adding the slayer gem to the slayer helmet? I was always surprised that something like that never made it into the main game...

And another suggestion: how about making the bonegrinder an item that is purchasable with slayer points?

then make them untradeble , if you dont want them discontinued,

i rather have phats untradeble, then have them in the game as worthless items, that every1 can get at any moment, there's no point for that aswell,

if you think about it its true,

make them discontinued like in the past, and they will gain value, but every1 thats playing now, will get easy 2-3 even more sets if you want, then new players to the game, will have something they can work for, in the future, but players like you and me , will already have some cuz we were playing at the time,

otherwise make them untradeble, so that you can give them some value, even if you cant trade them ,

agree??


Then why even have the poll on them?

The poll to make them discontinued failed...did not reach 75%...or even close...failed poll = no consensus = keep the discontinued items out of OSRS.

Agree?

Abide by the poll.


there was never a poll to make them them discontinued lol

yes your absolutely right, they should give phats, santa hat etc, one more time for this xmas to give every1 a chance, but make this the last time to give these items away for free, or drop them, no reason to give these items away every year , they will lose the special feeling of a holiday item otherwise

i have an idea..since some are not too keen or unsure of the rainbow party hat..how about the ability to take them and make new colors? for instance merge a red and a white..and get a pink hat? red and yellow to get orange..etc? might be interesting..but you should probably still give out the two each of the base colors to start from since it was kinda promised..just saying..but either way..the new colors might get alot of interest
maybe another idea..as an extra incentive..if you give up one of each party hat color..you can trade it in or make..a glittery silver..or glittery gold hat in place of them..this gives you the option of trading in some hats for one exclusive new hat or you can decide to keep the originals..or maybe even meld the old ones to get a new awesome color like pink,,etc..(as previously mentioned)


thats a very interesting idea..i like it

The blog says the rainbow hats will be tradable.[/quote]

mod reach said , the blog is not carved in stone :) they will first do a poll, and then see what players want, i don't think players want tradable rainbow phats, i sure as hell dont, but i dont want to get normal phats, each year for xmas, they wont be special whatsoever, in my opinion, just give phats 1 more time for this xmas, for a period of 2 weeks, so that way every1 gets the chanse to get them,

giving phats each year has just no point at all.
