The state of Hrothgar and Viera

At least vieras can change their hairstyle. That is a reason I'll change to male viera. It's an upgrade over hrothgar because I'll be able to change my hairsyile, have more hair colors and highlights. I never cared about hats, even when I was a miqo'te or highlander. I usually only use horns or glasses anyway, so this doesn't bother me even though I know It's important for other people.

To be honest, a fixed position/model for the ears while wearing helmets/hats sounds the most reasonable way to go, both customization wise and lore wise. Aside from the modelling effort.

As a starter in 3D-Modelling I know how time consuming re-modelling and re-texturing 1 headgear can be. Surely don't want to imagine the time it takes to re-model like 200+ headgear for different classes for 3-4 different types of ears.

Also, our Viera ears are not made out of bone or some static material. They are still flesh. And flesh can bend.

And you weren't wrong, just saying lol

We need new hairstyles!

definitely would like more hairstyles, or at the very least, let us choose between the current hair without having to change our face. Two hairstyles per face is just depressing :(

We need more hats too, for sure!

I just want hrothgar to be able to wear red mage hats

Since hrothgar can wear reaper hat I can’t see why they can’t wear red mage hats

The difference seems to be between hats that cover the entire head and ones that leave the lower half of the hair visible.

I think the reaper hat has a cowl under it so it covers up the hair, so it can work for everyone.

Least we finally have some info, a year and half later.

We were told before release that the Viera and Hrothgar would have big limitations to them when it came to headgear and hairstyles and the community (mostly) were happy with said limitations if that was what was required to add the Viera & Hrothgar to the game.

We were however also told that there would be new headpieces and hairstyles added over time after their release.

Them telling us they'll be broken doesn't make them any less broken.

They don't *need* to have these limitations, either. Modders have proved that.

Ever since I started playing on PC I find SE's stance more and more ridiculous.

And the whole stubble situation is a whole nother world of unfathomable.

Instead of putting band-aids on band-aids maybe fix the damn thing? Or is being the #1/2 whatever MMO on the market still not enough incentive?

As much as I love the incredible stuff like the atmosphere or story some aspects of this game are incredibly half-assed.

I'm sorry if I spoke out of turn but it's probably obvious that I find the whole situation frustrating.
