Remove/hide the hats

37 votes

Remove the hats, it doesn't bring any value to the player. Worse, in early game, other users tend to put the robber on the users with a hat more often then not. Hats put a big target on the players' back and it is very frustrating. For that reason, I tend to try and play games with other hats.

It would be good if you had the option to remove the icon as I noticed when the game starts people think you're the strongest player and target you if you've paid for game.

Allow users the option to choose a normal icon instead of premium member icon. Every time I play a game, the premium member icon puts a target on my back and people just assume I'm gonna do well.

I agree. When people ask me if the Founder pack is worth it, I say that it's not yet worth it but that it's a good investment as extensions are coming and there's a rebate right now. I also say that it makes me targeted more in the first few rounds, or if people hesitate between 2 players to steal from.

Agreed! I bought the founder's pack to support production of new modes but don't care to show off that I have it in normal games.

I suggest you allow me to hide the fact that I have an extension. In my opinion, as soon as the other players noticed that I have a "hat" of an extension holder, it marks me as a better player in the game and directs the fire at me automatically. thank you (:

Always feel targetted early in the game because I have a hat. Please allow me to remove !

I REALLY want to be able to turn the hat off. It makes us a target. I just played a seafarers game where every player only robbed me. Every time. By the time I got my 3rd point, everyone else had 10. This has happened a few times where it is clear all the players are targeting the "hat guy"

Hi! Thank you for the new hats.
When we have several hats like the 'Founder' hat and the Christmas hat, how can we switch from one to the other?

Would like to revert back to a non hat wearing player. I usually don't wear hats.

How can I remove the hat, as I agree it makes you a target at the beginning.
