Troubador Profession Hat?

[Zexma]

<DIV>Been out of the game for a bit, but am back now for a good while leveling my launch day Troub again, currently 59. Just curious, I've been seeing the addition of the new Profession Hats, and just recently I saw that they were or have already added the Dirge's Profession Hat. My question is.. does a Troubador one exist at the moment or any clues/info that they have one coming out? I'd feel pretty shafted if they give the Dirges a unique one and not us. Hmph</DIV>

every class has a "profession hat"its a quest from a npc in barren sky. not easy and you can not solo it.im pretty sure what you were reading had to do with sony actually adding the "unique look" to the hat. at launch, only a few of the hats had a special look, the rest were just regular looking hats. such as the guardins hat looked exactly like a normal plate helm from T1-7. there were several that had no special look. which was a outrage considering that several classes (pally, SK, necro, inquis) had some very [Removed for Content] looking hats.so what you read had to of been a update of forum topic about them introducing some of the unique graphics for the rest of the hats.but dont get your hopes up. sony just threw together most of them and a few i wouldnt put on my dog for fear he would fall over and die from the embarasment he would have to go through.the templar hat looks like a condom, the guardian hat looks like a stupid rooster and theres a few that still dont have a unique look. shamans and druids all wear the same exact hat (dead racoon) and monks/bruisers have the same wok (rice pan) hat. conj, wizard. warlock all have the same "wizard" hat. and im not sure about the coercer or illus hats.but they did manage to design a few [Removed for Content] ones in the 2nd batch. the zerker hat looks like a viking (picture eric the red with 2 horns sticking out the side) and the dirge hat looks sweet too. but hands down the ranger cowl, SK helm, necro hat and imo, inquis, and also imo the pally hat is [Removed for Content].<div></div>

[Zexma]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I sort of knew that everyone could receive a hat, just not all the specific graphics had been added. I have seen Troubadors run around with the plumed feather "scout/rogue" hat, and I'm just wondering them more specifically, has our "unique" graphic been added yet or IS that our graphic.

you know thats funny you posted this. i was thinking the same exact thing.a "jesters" hat would have been perfect. much better than what we wound up with.<div></div>

[Llewrend]

<DIV>We currently do not have a hat from Vaults, nor a customized one, but we do get a flamboyant yellow [Removed for Content] hat with white feathers.</DIV>

[Seddo]

to be honest, I would prefer that jester's cap rather then that yellow colored [Removed for Content] hat..... first time I ever turned /showhood off cause I couldnt bear it....<div></div>

[Emerix]

<DIV>We will get an own graphic for our hat</DIV> <DIV>It is rumored that we indeed get a jesters hat .</DIV>

Haha, that comic is perfect.

[Calman]

Jesters hat, now thats just perfect. Im sure were the SOE office joke.  As well as a lot of the EQ2 community it seems. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  that reminds me whens the next nerf?  LOL bring it on. <div></div>

[Mishrac]

<DIV>LOL @ Thorvang HAhh best comic ever</DIV>

[Mirander_1]

Just thought you guys would like to know, Blackguard posted that the Troubador hat graphic will be in tu27b<div></div>

[Antipalad]

Actually I'd take Scafloc's hat over the one currently in game.

[ssumthing]

If its anything like what happened with the dirge class hat when it came in, you will be able to get the current one still, and turn it in if you choose to have the new one. So you should have both.

<div></div>I'm going to take a guess and say that it's not going to look much different than the current swashbckler hat.Something like this:<img src="http://disney.wretch.cc/Special/2004/040903/troubadour.gif"><div></div><p>Message Edited by Sanju on <span class=date_text>08-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:56 AM</span>

Awww, makes me wish I had a troubador.  Brings back memories of all those hours I played Kings Quest. :smileyhappy:

[vinterskugge]

<DIV>I'm just glad it's not a jester's hat.  Shame relic and Hoo'loh suck and I'll be stuck looking like a swashy.</DIV>

[Crombie]

It does look a wee bit like somethin from Robin hood ~ but of course its either a brownish or yellow color... so no green tights for us heh

<P>Thats actually pretty decent. And Vinterskugge should be happy he got the nightchord hat. I've not seen it once, and been doing lab every week for months now.</P> <P>Both my Hoo'lok and Relic will be transfered to the new look for sure.</P>

[Jaimster]

Could they make us look any uglier? I mean, the hat itself is fine looking.. but could they not have picked a nice royal blue or a deep green color? Something besides hsit brown?  We're troubadors not members of the Royal Army circa 1940....

[Barbai]

I would have been happy with a dark colored version of the "[Removed for Content]" hat myself that things just goofy to me seem to have more of a robin hood feel (perhaps it should go to rangers <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )<div></div>

[Blakeavon]

<DIV>please please please someone tell me i still get the choice to keep my yellow hat???!!?</DIV>

[vinterskugge]

It's that colour because it's the relic hat.  The Hoo'loh one will probably be a yellow version of it.

[Bobbiac]

erm soga?anyway i wanna see the kerran look<div></div>

[Sanju]

Hmm, I actually like the yellow hat much better than the relic. At least the yellow's a better color than the dirty rust color of relic, and the feather is more contrasting, too.<div></div>

I have to agree with ColeTrickle the troub i know got it and the headpie, hankercheif, bandanna/hair thing looks rubbish... total rubish. hat good, under hat bitthing bad.  Its a total copout so they didnt have to deal with races whith bigears or the differing hair styles.<div></div>

[Xrak]

please change our hat i look stupider than i did with the [Removed for Content] hat. or lose the hair that cames with it cause my hair isn't grey im a halfelf and its a black and darkpurple mohawk. or how about u give us a freakin jester's cap. we do have a spell thats called jester's cap. and last time i looked the only singing robin hood did was in men in tights which i have a macro to do now. i want a jester cap. its one thing making us look stupid but the robinhood hat was way too far. and don't tell me someone actually spent more than a few days makin the robin hood hat. jester's hat its what ppl asked for. we are the players that have to look at it so at least go hey this is what they want maybe since we nerfed the bejesus out of them maybe we should listen to them on some cosmetic stuff. honestly i don't think devs even read the boards half the time. cause they will see a 90% of the community wants this but go hey no one asked for this lets put it in the game. i know they won't change it but why have boards if they are just going to ignore every suggestion we post and just do something that makes no sense to begin with. nowhere did a troub go hey give us a robin hood [Removed for Content] hat to wear. listen to ur players we are ur pay checks. <div></div>

[vinterskugge]

<DIV>You say you don't want to look stupid and then say you want a jester hat?  No-one wanted it at all.  We're musicians, not clowns.</DIV>

[Xrak]

u do know jesters sing right and played insturments. this is such a ranger hat not a bard hat. and uhh last time i looked jester's cap is a spell and [Removed for Content] robin hood [Removed for Content] hat isn't. and dude lots of ppl said they wanted a jester cap. cause can't tell me that u wanted this piece. and clowns arn't jesters. and our relic armor and nightchord should so look different. cause this copout with all the armor looking exactly the same but different color is bs. thats when u know someone got really lazy. cause look at sks armor sure its redish/pink but the shoulders are custom to their class. what did troubs and almost everyother scout get besides swashys get freakin cookie cutter armor. brigs assassins ranger dirge and troub look at the armor its the same texture but different color. thats it. all i ask is they listen to players and not pull stupid ideas out of the air and go with it. ohh and stop messing with stuff thats actually workin.<div></div>

[Jait]

<P>True.</P> <P>Little bit of Troubadour lore here from French History classes:</P> <P>From roughly the end of the Dark Ages (William the Conquerors time) until I think 1250ad Troubadours roamed from France to Spain, even a few in Italy.  They *exclusively* sang tales in a specific form of meter which name escapes me at the moment.  There was absolutely nothing comical about the Troubadour.  They sang tales of falling in love, "the chase", and the requitement of love.  Sometimes even an "Alba" which was a song composed and accompanied by fiddle players which told a story of a woman cheating on her spouse with her one true love.  A night watchman is so impressed by their effections and happiness, he warns the two of the coming light of dawn, saving them from being discovered.  Alba is known also as "The song of Morning".</P> <P> </P> <P>Unfortunately, not many Troubadour songs remain.  But it is believed there was also "The Song of Night" and the "The Song of Twilight".   There was absolutely nothing "Jester'esque" about the Troubadour.  SOE designs (unfortunately imo) around the common definition and not the true meaning of the word.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Edit:  Wikipedia ftw.  Shoulda checked there first before posting.  Much more info and accuracy.</P> <P><A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubadour" target=_blank>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troubadour</A></P><p>Message Edited by Jait on <span class=date_text>09-09-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:23 PM</span>
