Hat Descriptions/Names
 

I've noticed that admins don't bother giving descriptions/names to match the majority of hats. Onnet was recently stocked with Cinco De Mayo hats, and none of them have descriptions. Hell, I don't even think Onnet festive hats are ever given a description. Aside from that, the names are very bland as well. Cinco De Mayo Hat, Cinco De Mayo Mask, Skull Mask/Hat, you probably get the gist. The furniture hold descriptions, but they're bland as can be. Cinco De Mayo Chair: "A festive chair".

This is the exact opposite of The World of Mirth. If you take your time to check that place out, you'll find that all the hats are equipped with witty descriptions and fitting titles.
Why should descriptions and names matter? They're interesting, and make the hat hold some sort of value. Descriptions of hats should also be shown when equipping a hat.

tl;dr all hats should have cool descriptions and names.
What are your thoughts?

does it really matter, your just gonna buy the hat.

I feel warm inside when they do...

sure you do.

because Thats very believable

It's called appeal, and yes it does matter. I would probably even buy a poorly done hat if it had a decent description.

People buy hats for the look, not the description. Sure, if they invested 10-20 seconds in creating a one sentence description, it may increase the appeal, but they couldn't care less.

Exactly.

lmfao, some writing is all it takes to appeal to you?
a description is pointless/ a waist of time+ admins are too lazy to do it anyway

How about just delete the description part? I never read them.

Yeah - I really like it when hats have nice names/descriptions.

exactly

you really like it? lol thhat sounds kinda sad to like something so small so much

If you don't read the descriptions, then why would it matter to you?
Just continue doing what you're doing.

There's really no good reason to be against them.

Y'all ain't got eyes??

Myst why post on this thread? if you don't like the idea don't bother talking, instead of shoving your ideas about how it doesn't matter down people's throats.

I've seen some hat/item descriptions that have made me chuckle/laugh from a witty pun, and I've gotta say it sure is more appealing than "A nice hat.".

i like the descriptions..i actually thought of this the other day when i bought the Green hat from nexus. The name was so lammeeeeeeeee "Nexus Exclusive Hat"...they could have at least called it a genie turban |:


edit:

on second thought rofl, i wouldnt mind not having a description for hats.They'd probably hire another set of noobs to manage the descriptions or they'd probably get the events team to do it...no one in the ET staff can spell. All of their broadcasts are so bland and repetitive "I WILL BE DOING SUMO. FIND THE WARPER AND YOU GET THIS HAT"...its like they have a template which they copy and paste every time they hold an event. If thats the case, then why not just make an automated bot to do events?

I do agree, and have always thought that hat descriptions are getting bland. I'm not sure if I would be tempted to buy these hats, but I do like reading descriptions.


I remember when Revolution items had a clever description.

The amount of events hosted in a day, you expect them to think of something interesting every single time? Also, what does spelling have to do with this? If I use a word constantly does it mean I can't spell either.

A bit off topic here but the best event host is Spyke. The way he broadcasts his messages is pretty sweet, and you can tell that he doesn't just use the standard copy and paste template.

Lol you're cute

They host events because they don't have quests. ET is the easiest job..they just hired the wrong people. Anyway, its not like there is only one person doing it for the whole day? at least plan some **** out before hand.. don't be dull and just say "I'm doing events. Find me and you win my hat"

Using the same words over and over again shows that you have low vocabulary.. technically you cant spell any other words other than ones you use. I don't have the best vocab but i give things ago, even if it doesn't make sense. I only brought up spelling because I said that I wouldn't want the ET to be in charge of the hat descriptions..imagine how repetitive and boring the descriptions will be: "this is a black hat" or "A hat with a cat on top".

edit:

they dont even bother to use any of the smiley faces..:dazed: i feel like that they're doing events because they are forced to..not because they enjoy doing it.

Sounds good enough for me, as long as I have a chance for the hat.

Of course titles and descriptions matter. Especially if you slap the word "rare" on an item. It makes people want it even more. It's also nice to have a little background on the item you're buying. For example, "Forged in the greatest depths of darkness, this mask was created from shadows of the wicked." with a title like "Eternal Chaos Mask".

I have to agree.

I fell for that once. They keep reusing that trick too many times though.

It's a description. Are you serious?

I think specific, accurate descriptions are necessary for people who dont know exactly what it is... Ya know, when you walk into Nafet's and think, "mm cool hat... that ones overpriced... this hats pretty... OMFG WTH IS THAT?!"

this, this right here.

This this, this right here.

That, that right there!

that that, that right there!

The first that, or the second one?

That sounds fair .. i just thought that Events was supposed to be fun and upbeat.

rofl i bought the turtle mount because they said it was rare... it was only rare because it was expensive. I like the background thing you did..

ya, theres a few that doesn't use the same words over and over again, Atira and Siohby were pretty great :D. idk where they went though. That new guy "Jared" is cool too..

Umm, isn't that what an argument is ? Would'nt be fun if everyone agreed on every topic. It's life.

Everyone knows life sucks... Am I not aloud to dream of a better world? *sighs*

The World of Mirth ones are mine, thanks for the compliments!!!

Oh Rufus... I don't know whether to hate, or love you.

Indeed but thanks rufus for making them appealing with slightly amusing descriptions.

For a description, I think they are more than that.

You from the south? :P

i feel like graal players have the same hat fetish tf2 players have

South America? Yeah, actually I am ! Thanks for asking.

Figures. Going to guess Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, or Alabama?

i felt awful for some of the Canvas members, last halloween, seems as if the writers for the description didn't even read the title card, for i.e the bat cap someone made, was named "Monster cap, made by _____." only mine, and some of pharaohs had a proper description, e.x "Graal-O-Ween Cap, made by Yami" -- i've noticed that quite often (with the exceptions of some.), having the title and descriptions not even coming close to the title card.

sometimes they edit out the title card for using file space.

...this isn't a funny joke.

I never said this was a joke I'm actually being serious...
