viera headgear.

i am so tired of not being able to wear headgear. i understood why old gear, past pieces would not be updated to be visible. there's a lot of gear in this game and i wouldn't expect to see pieces from before viera were considered updated to be visible. i don't understand why new pieces aren't.

Are viera and hrothgar players not valued the same as others? all these new level 90 Job gear pieces that i can't see. new event gear constantly that i can't see. why does new content come with head pieces that aren't visible to me? it's so frustrating and i would 1000% rather some kind of "clipping" issue on the gear over it being literally invisible to me on 95% of pieces. i would rather wear the head piece and have the ears disappear or "clip" through the gear than have nothing at all. i'm so tired and frustrated about it.

Agreed. Clipping isn't the end of the world. Viera obviously should be a higher priority than Hrothgar due to the popularity ratio, but they should not get left out in the cold either. I think that Square should at least make the 'open face' type helmet gear fully compatible with Viera and get around to the fully enclosed no-face headgear (no visor) later.

Edit: perhaps to make it easier for Square to 'compatiblize' the gear and streamline things, I think they should focus first (as a kind of 'phase 1') on all existing special event/armiore headgear, plus all blue rarity 'traditional and artifact' type headgear (both augmented and non) that exists for each job plus the blue tomestone headgear for 50/60/70/80/90. Making this more important limited selection of headsets compatible first, in one patch, should thus make it possible for Square to rework these for Viera and Hrothgar simultaneously (thus avoiding playing statistical favourites with Viera over Hrothgar).

Then sometime later on they can work on normal (grey) and dungeon (green) headgear. This should cut the overall 'backlog' into at least three thirds (and thus 'phases') and at least give us something in the near future. I actually think the vast majority of people would accept all sub-level 50 common (grey/no-colour rarity) headgear being cut from the compatibility 'backlog' altogether if we got all the blue and green rarity headgear done (and eventually lv50+ common grey headgear), that would be fine.

There is literally 0 excuse at this point.

There's a hat that doesn't obscure hair and literally has our ears just poke through the top given in garlemald msq gear chests for tanks.

They should -not- be adding head gear to the game at this point that is not viera compatible. Hroth I -marginally- understand due to pending reworks.

I just want to wear the welkin hat (AST lvl 60 af hat) as viera, the outfit looks incomplete without it... Also I was so sad when even the clown nose from the halloween event hat didn't show up. I know they have other priorities but we're going on the second expansion with viera girls now and we got what, one default hairstyle and only a couple of headpieces in endwalker so far as well. It's really disappointing.

I think you're mistaken. The headgear that drops from a Garlean quest is the level 82 pewter coffer, for which the tank headgear is a face-framing circlet/mask thing and not a hat at all. Those have always worked for Viera because they don't affect the hair.

I guess Square Enix can't do what mere modders can do~
