Alright, so gear is pretty cool and whatnot. It gains advantage in game, but clogs up inventory if you have too much.
Hats are pretty cool and whatnot. But they have no use in most games.
So why not combine them? A cool hat for your avatar that has a purpose. I was inspired by seeing SO many of these hats like "Splintered Sky Healer" or "Wizard of Vines" and stuff like that. But how would these hats work?
Well for one thing, not all would work like gear. Some would have "enchantments" on them. Some may grant the player extra health. Or extra speed. Or some would give the player certain effects in game, or even on the website, like granting slight transparency, or slight reflectance, maybe give less gravity.
Hats that give players effects would be like social gear. Like gear the EFFECTS of the hats could be disabled in game, but the hat would still stay on for show.
However, there are limited choices to do with scripts like that. Some hats could only work once a spawn. For example, a tool would be shaded green if it belonged to a hat. Upon selecting and activating the tool, it would disappear, and you might get the following effects as temporary: super speed, super jumping, invincibility, invisibility. Or using a hat tool could give laser vision, night vision, could give you a two second force field and cause you to explode at the same time, etc. etc.
It's barely an add on to ROBLOX. It's like gear, it's just that you can wear them as hats. |

| Nope. We don't. We have hats that make sound effects. We have certain hats that effect certain weapons. But that's it. I'm talking about MUCH bigger than that. Like some of the ninja masks have scripts in them, that effect katanas. But OTHER THAN THAT, we don't. You did read the entire thing, right? |

| Hats are for decoration. What do you want next? Shirts and pants that have abilities? |

| Basically, I'm proposing gear that is worn LIKE a hat. I'm not asking for any current hats to be changed, actually. And Blockoo, no, of course not. Player created items with abilities? The two can NOT be compared like that. Obviously I would never suggest something that insane... |

Some rumor that "Teapot Turret" has some 'mystical' powers....
....So let's keep it to that. |

You know what I think....That's so freaking awesome :D. Yur right, all hats are just for show and they are so expensive it seems like it's not even worth buying BC for them.
Abilities would be really cool to have.
So you have my support

| Also a sword pack that actually gives you two swords would be awesome. |

| Ibra, lag wouldn't be caused, unless your computer is sensitive to gears. |

| Although this idea is great, it most likely won't pass because the developers would have to put extra work in the hats and it would take *WEEKS* to add all the features to the hats. |

Well, not all hats would necessarily be given abilities of course. The only hats that SHOULD be given abilities are ones that are currently on sale. It wouldn't be fair if, for example, someone like me who owns a hat from let's say 2009, finds out it has an ability. But I would have been one of the few buyers, because the hat looks stupid and I bought it because I have strange tastes. Now I'm one of the few with that ability, and everybody else WOULD have bought it if they KNEW.
So SPECIFIC currently selling hats MAY be changed. Not many though. Most of the hat gear combos would probably be freshly uploaded ones, as it would cause quite a disturbance if old hats suddenly gained abilities. |

The idea is enjoyed, but think about it: ROBLOX allows the user to wear multiple hats at a time, for example, I'm wearing my captains hat, shades, and dog tags. If the three items were to all have a separate effect. For those who are newer to the game and have less hats, it's very unfair- at least with gears, many newer players can be assigned weapons to begin with. Not to mention, hat "givers" will become overused, and cause things to go wrong, resulting in more fighting.
I know you said that hats, like gears, could be disabled, but still. On the off chance they aren't disabled, and the server becomes an outbreak, it will cause more insults and such.
I'm not trying to be a downer, but still. In reality, the hats may cause more unfairness then the already presented "overpriced-overpowered gears".
Truthfully, hats that add boosts I don't mind as much. If my dog tags added a boost to any rifles, I wouldn't mind. If my captains hat helped me to shoot flintlocks by adding precision, I would enjoy it. If my shades let me do something else, awesome. But still, adding in actually weaponry into the hats, I just plain don't really support it. Sorry. |

| Yeah, I guess I agree with you. Hats like the Ninja Masks have effects in them already. I guess when I saw those I thought there should be more. But really, what I mean by this is that they should really only give boosts. Not actual weaponry then. But not large boosts. |
