Do all the new Vieras and Hrothgar just don't care?

I mean, a few hats here and there would be nice, but I join the 'don't normally wear helmets anyway' team. Have you seen how good horns look on Hrothgar? I don't think I'd ever use anything else anyways.

PS: Speaking only for myself, obviously.

Most of the hidden head gear looks fugly so I don't miss it.

The DRG helm I'm surprised they didn't have ready. It easily covers the face for both Hrothgar and Viera, it seems like it should have been working already. The Helm of Pressing Darkness already works on Hrothgar (sadly not Viera), so the basework is there at the least.

Since they already said that they will be adding more I don't feel the need to complain about it.
Would just be time wasted.

Never cared for helmets and hats anyway, just visors, blindfolds, glasses etc. So I'm good ^^

Same here.

Besides, SE did say they will slowly add more :o

I changed back to cat over hats. My rabbit actually quite grew on me over a few weeks but so many of my glamours use hats that it's a bit of a deal breaker.

Also, fully agree with OP that new stuff created this expansion not working is a bit wtf, sure I understand old stuff needs a bit more time in the oven but I expected at least the newest raid and the AF gear to work.

This is how I feel and I don't wear 99% of the helmet, the only one I will miss is the red mage hat and the level 60 AF botanist hat. Other than that I'm content with my Viera

They actually did do it for Hrothgar, I'm pretty sure the new helmets work, or at least a few of them do. Viera only gets circlets, glasses, minor headgear, and I think that's how it will always be. I don't think they will ever actually get hats, or for that matter, helmets. I changed back to a miqo'te again for similar reasons, just to have the ability to have hats, etc. I don't usually use them, but I didn't really like the idea of it being limited.

I really like how mine (rava) looked, though viera tend to look exactly the same. Half the time I see a veena it blends in with all the others, and I mean exactly the same. Dark skinned Rava are much more unique.

There was a letter from producers (can't give a link, sory) that totaly explained the whole situation with headgear and gendrlock. The main line is that currently there is too much of the headgear to change for the new races and it will take some time. You just need to be patient about it. So just hold your breath and wait a bit. I assume that they will remove genderlock and make a headgear in the future patches. Besides if you want some headgear so badly - farm the Rak'tika dungeon. All gear out there fits to Viera and headgear is visible.
