I just put on the beret today and I am a bit disappointed.
 
- Why isn't the crest pointed forward?
- Why is the tail hanging off to the side like some graduation hat?
- Why does it look like a pizza boy hat?

Kinda reminds me of the one from the 5th Element, just have to color it:

			I'm just gonna say: it was free, you did nothing to get it aside from being subscribed. Don't wear it if you don't like it, just like I don't wear my face snuggler. ... or any of the strain costume gear.. seriously.... that stuff is gross.

			Looks like a beret to me, but I must admit I'm not French so I may be wrong.

Looks fine to me.
 
God forbid that a sci-fi fantasty RPG game is not quite 100% accurate on a piece of apparel that exists in life.

			Problem is, the default color is yellow which makes it less military like.

As someone who wore a beret everyday for some time, in popular media they tend to look like bags of ass.
That said, I guess they were going for the casual look with this one.

			Well for me red color is for the elite units in my country, unfortunately red is also the evil empire favorite color so I will leave the default color for now.

			The beret looks horrible on Draken. Horns wreck it. I wish I could dye the Moodie Mask from Deradune.	
----
			I'm trying REALLy hard to not be negative about the beret.  The hat clips horribly with draken horns. In all the many items on the list of things that I would like to see added to the game, a beret was not one of them.  Don't get me wrong, though. More costume options is always good. But if we're going to be given a hat for our characters, why in GOD's NAME wasn't it a COWBOY hat?!?

Maybe Carbine paid attention to that thread about making the Dominion more fun to play.  They don't need stetsons.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Then maybe they should read more than one thread.  Dominion doens't need berets to make us cool. We have draken AND chua.  What more is needed?!?
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I don't know, that thread went on for like a million pages and I still don't get it.  Maybe people just don't like trimmed hedges.

			Not that I think free stuff is bad.  It's just that I wonder why they didn't release a cowboy hat, since it's the most requested headgear and would go with the Highwayman set.	
----
			Yup, it looks good on spellslingers.	
----
			
@Radmanvr,
 
I agree with you.  The "ribbon" ( ribbon really .. really?) is way too long ( and TBH, all the real tough units don't have this feature anymore :P ).  The crest is never worn to the side for any NA or EU units ( which more people are used to seeing ). :P	
----
			I don't know about everyone else, it looks cute on my engineer. Its a keeper.

I guess I am just picky, because I wore one for way to long. Always had the crest above my left eye with the proper fold to the right and the tails burnt off.

It's a game, they picked a model and likely tried fitting it properly on as many character races as they could. Try different colours, they can do wonders to tie a look over. It's all good, as long as your characters don't take themselves too seriously. Rocking a pink beret myself, for instance.
 
 
For reference. (Blue is also nice.)
 
I for one am more excited about more added options than doing one just right. I would really like to see these added:
 
 
And maybe even this:
 
Just have fun with it, don't stress over small things. As long as you're kicking ass, all's alright on Nexus.

			I just love the beret, works really great with a soldier costume :)	
----
			My main issue with it is that it dyes funny. Some colors like infradread look fine, but Dark Energy is just kind of a medium grey. 	
----
			My issue with the beret is that I can't get it to go in the costume slot. It keeps pushing out my headgear with actual stats. I've never had this problem with any other piece.	
----
			
@Uchorhu,
 
I have mine in my Costume slot.  Sometimes it takes a few tries but, it is possible.

Dye it green, dye it blue, whatever you want.  You can even have a Raspberry Beret if that floats your boat...

@Uchrorhu,
 
For some reason I can't quote or post any images.  It grinds my gears *Peter Griffon voice*.  Not sure what is wrong other than I am using IE ( which is prolly what is wrong) but, I have never encountered any forums that were IE unfriendly. :(

{| class="blockquote"
I tried for 10 minutes this morning. I even tried yelling at my computer and everything but not even that worked!
 
PS - why are you allergic to the quote function?  ;)

When i saw that i had a beret in my acc inv i was very happy.
 
But for some weird reason Carbine has chosen to make it an artists beret instead of the military variant which can be seen in one of the first pictures of this thread. (The one on the asian male)
 
It baffles me that they could make such a bad decision. Surely the military variant would be more fit for a game like Wildstar with such a heavy military presence on both factions.

			Noshmek cares not for your opinion on his beret.  The beret is worn for advancement of SCIENCE!

I wouldn't say free. I specifically remember paying 15$ to be able to access it. A customer appreciation bonus for no additional surcharge, perhaps, but definitely not free.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I dyed mine blue, but on the character select its still beige.
 
Weird stuff.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I recently dyed an outfit and it still shows up on character select with its previous colors.  Seems like a bug introduced with their attempts at modesty.

			The only thing that makes me sad about the beret is how the tassle and border dye super dark. But otherwise, I think it's adorable! :D

I wanted the drunken parties on login to stay as a 'feature'.
 
It was a fun bug that i found funny.

You paid 15 bucks to access the server. Had the beret not been given out, you would have still paid the 15.
 
On top of your normal 15$ subscription fee, you have been given this costume item.
 
For free.
 
Get outta here.

WoW tricked a lot of people into thinking that new mounts or flavor items are something that you should pay extra for on top of a subscription.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
For example, you pay for your basic cable bill, right? YOU'RE PAYING FOR CABLE! Yet, you don't get all the HBO, Showtime and Skinamax content without paying something extra. Cash Shops are the same exact idea.

{| class="blockquote"
A lot of people would argue that the dozens of cable packages you have to get separately are exploitative and horrible for customers...

Except we're not paying for basic MMO, we're paying for premium.  Will Carbine knock $5 off my bill if I opt out of raiding and another $5 off for not pvp'ing?

{| class="blockquote"
Nice try, though! My analogy reigns supreme.

That beret clips bad with my aurin's cat ears and looks really lame. One ear is visible, while the other is hidden. :(
 
Suffice to say, at least in my aurin's case...that hat is now permanently occupying my bank.

Aha, figured out the workaround: Go to the Stylist (grr), remove all dyed items from the costume and put them back.  That'll update the login screen colors.
