the monk class hat

swordfel · 09-05-2006, 07:29 PM

i just want to know if the current graphic for the monk class hat is the final graphic. i know that the same graphic was used for a couple of hats from the DoF expansion (although the color was different), and i heard that every hat was supposed to have a new unique graphic, so im not sure what to believe atm.

Imo that's why they gave the bruisers a bandana, I don't think they will make another graphic to replace ours. And I like my rice hat :smileyvery-happy: .

I'm sick and [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ing fed up by the aweful looking monk hat graphic.

atleast make it look pointy like a REAL rice hat.

give us Raiden's hat from mortal combat!

I agree that our salad bowl isn't a real rice hat (the top is too round, the color doesn't look like straw etc..) , but if we complain that we want another one we might end up with something even worse :smileytongue: .

Deathblade13 · 09-05-2006, 10:18 PM

Pointy? No thanks. Monks are not coolie workers who labor in rice fields. The hats we have are pretty much exactly what traveling monks would wear:

As for Raiden, he has a different kind of hat altogether, definitely not the pointy coolie-style straw hat that is stereotypical of asian hats:

WRONG!

Deathblade13 · 09-06-2006, 12:40 AM

Yes, obviously I was not talking about Raiden from either the lame 1995 movie, or from the first couple games in which, yes, he did wear a pointy farmer's hat.

DarkerApprenti · 09-06-2006, 12:46 AM

Now, if only we could get those sick looking robes....that'd be tight. But I've given up actually looking good in EQ2. Green / Pink armor....ummm yeah....nice.

Kronadin · 09-06-2006, 12:56 PM

Funny -- when the first screenshot of the current rice-hat was published (for DoF release), the whole monk community screamed that they want to acquire this awesome looking hat. Now that people have it, they complain about it looking silly. Some folks just can't be pleased, eh?

Anyway, I think my hat looks cool, and I also think that my monk looks great btw, especially now with the soaked guard of xhorroz tunic and the zardiz leggings. They're a perfect match!

I don't think I've ever said that that hat looks cool.

and what is lamer than anything is that ALL the monk hats look like that. and EVERY [Removed for Content] monk in norrath is running around in that lame [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] looking fruit bowl.

changing the color of a hat and keeping the graphics the same on all the hats ain't creative at all. that's just being lazy.

the most common developer comment seems to be: -"oh let's put in a new hat. let's see... hmmm... open the picture in photoshop, alt+u for bringing up the hue tool, change the hue to a different color, press ok, save file "new_awesome_looking_hat_created_by_1337_uber_dev_# 1""

good job [random dev], nice to see your awesome skills and imagination!

I'm happy with the look of it. Actually, it looks cool imo. Better than having a bear head as protectors of nature (aka warden)Beside, if you don't like hat (like wife hates bear head on her head but for stats) best is /showhelm and hide it.

yeah but it would be kinda nice to be able to have a hat that you could actually SHOW that doesn't make you sick to the stomach... cause I'm so sick of the monk hat that it makes me puke.

swordfel · 09-06-2006, 07:16 PM

guys, this thread isn't supposed to be about how the monk hat looks, i just want to know if anyone has heard whether or not it is the final graphic for it since it existed in DoF. personally, i wouldnt mind. i think it looks kinda cool anyways. please dont turn this into a thread about how it looks, there are already thousands of other threads for exactly that purpose.

Tak, I know you, but believe me friend, it is not because you think it looks bad, you dont like it because it is probably you see it on every brawler and yeah, common things looks old and bad so fast, I want to puke when I see a mark of awakened on someone too SMILEY

I'm glad they are giving Bruisers a bandana and does not let their dirty hands touch it SMILEY

Well, I know what you mean, but... this IS a unique head and from now this patch, this hat will be only worn by "Monks", noone else.

Raidi Sovin'faile · 09-07-2006, 03:03 AM

Bruisers can still wear the two from DoF.. and so far those are still the same graphic. Not sure, but there might be a dropped hat in KoS too (non-relic) that looks like it.. although it might have the leather skullcap look, I don't recall.

So yeah.. there's still potential for Bruisers running around with rice hats. Bandana is unique tho (and I might turn mine in just so I can have both!).

silvername · 09-09-2006, 06:39 AM

I have a small question. what lv does one have to be to get hat and where does one get quest.

Also I realy like the look. at least then people know that you a monk.

Zabjade · 09-09-2006, 06:45 AM

Headbands are more Qeynos Monk-like however, in EQ1 Monk Headgear was dominated by the Headband questlines.

doesn't matter really since they devs favour bruisers, they give them all the love and the monks all the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]. so bruisers will always do more damage, tank better, look cooler etc etc... we're just stubborn to be playing monks. maybe we just love our class too much to betray is all. and that we have to pay for.

Deathblade13 · 09-09-2006, 10:52 PM

I think our class hat looks about 1000x more cool and unique that some [Removed for Content] headband. Now the bruisers look like the karate kid. Big deal.

Perfidiou · 09-11-2006, 03:41 PM

looks like an upside down fruit bowl.

Deathspell · 09-11-2006, 05:19 PM

I'd like it if it was a "headband-only" graphic, but the one I saw was just a leather skull cap with a brown headband.(Also I thought it was going to be a white headband instead of brown)No, I wouldn't trade in my wok pan for a headband SMILEY

Perfidiou · 09-11-2006, 05:27 PM

hoolook hat = white head band

relic hat = brown

Deathblade13 · 09-12-2006, 07:41 PM

monk hat = looks like an actual monk hatbruiser hat = looks like when I tied a dishrag to my head when I was 7 years old and wanted to be a ninjaThe bruiser hero:

I heard that in LU 29 they will be adding class pants, and the bruisers will be getting camouflage. Hmmm, maybe I should betray./beatdeadhorse off

The excarnate Rickshaw from the labs also has the 'rice hat' look and can be worn by bruisers.

dgray225 · 09-14-2006, 12:18 PM

I've been thinking about trying a monk lately, and what would really tip the scales is if monks got those freakin hooked-up bamboo hats that Thunder and the crew from Big Trouble In Little China got that cover up your whole head and flared out about two feet all around. I would make a monk immediately.

Great post Deathblade! I really needed a laugh on a thursday morning!

Camo pants? What a horrible thought. And, as previously stated, I love the monk hat, always have. If it looked exactly like a rice hat, I would be happier, but you cant have everything. What I wanted was a rice-like hat that covered my eyes, and this one does that. Im very very happy with it, even if it does look a little alien saucerish :smileywink:
