It's an excellent idea and would make a lot of people really happy.

Skull Cup, Skull Pole, Skull Throne.

well thats not really the same thing, i do not want to be able to make items from players i want to be able to make trophies OF players personalized to each player. i played briefly for a week or two killing folks in HH this past reset and as i recall the skulls themselves also did not display the name of the person they were taken from unless you had them identified already.


(btw that system is ***** horrible, getting a quality kill in HH is already difficult enough once everyone is hiding in their walls after week 1 so forcing you to use up a large amount of your study weight to get the points that used to be awarded on the killing blow is just a giant nerf where a nerf was not needed. between that and the draining 1 hp for every hostile act you take so that you have to stand around for a day and a half regenning hp after even a mediocre raid has made haven suck far more than it used to)

You are over exaggerating and clearly haven't done any pvp or raiding in hnh.

I'd like chief's nipples as a trophy.

I realize it's a different thing you propose. I was pointing out to the naysayers that the devs have already done stuff, so don't be surprised if it shows up here. Apologies if I didn't make that clear enough.

This idea actually has basis in new england history if that matters.

Philip was beheaded, then drawn and quartered (a traditional treatment of criminals in this era). His head was displayed in Plymouth for twenty years.

For those of you interested is in reference to the Native leader Metacomnet (King Philip) who waged war against the New England colonists in 1675. If I'm not mistaken this wasn't the only time this happened.

So I propose the minor change to darwoth's idea; you need a beheading skill, a logical progression of the butchering skill, and then a stake to make a head on a pike trophy which could be placed any where outside. It can be destroyed but isn't effected by decay, and perhaps to make it more interesting, clicking on it would always contain evidence of murder, that way building of a head on a pike would way out if it was worth it for their ego to display their kill or hide the evidence.

Perfect, bravo, magnificent.
You polished the idea letting it shine bright!
