please don't put any more hairstyles in the golden suacer

i don't like the idea of having to spend MGP into getting something that i cant even tell if it would look good on my character. Unlike with the outfits i can't even get a general sense of what my character will look like with the hair because it lacks the "try on" function.

The description is all you need. If that isn't good enough there's 20394823 fan sites; not to mention twitter; imgur; and reddit that all have pictures of anything you could ever need about the game.

That, plus the fact the devs released pics of the hair several weeks ago, it has been posted on this very forum.

I like the idea of there being hairstyles you can earn in-game, I hope they release more, maybe even give them out as seasonal event items, vet rewards or forum contest rewards as well, just to add a little variety.

I do have to agree about the try-on function though, that would be nice.

Yes, put them up on cash shop instead right?

And there goes another cash shop post. Well done.

I think everyone has missed the point. The OP is saying that don't want to have to spend MGP on a hairstyle to see if they like it. I agree about the try-on function, I want to see how it look on MY character (not posted pictures of other characters) before spending any money on it. Like most glamor items you can try on before you buy this shouldn't be any different. It has nothing to do with a cash shop.

I don't mind having to pay via GS for an haircut but a try on option would have really be welcomed. I couldn't find anyone on ultros with a male highlander wearing that haircut, mostly female character, so the only way to have a semblance of idea of what it looks like was, well to buy it. I'm not sure I like it, but since I payed for it I kind of feel like I have to use it now...

Put hairstyles into the game like all the previously added hairstyles were. There's no good reason to make players have to grind MPG - per character - to unlock a hairstyle.

The fact that it's a perfectly tomboyish, "dashing rogue" sort of ponytail makes the grinding I did on my Hyur main worth it. But good God, I 2 hours straight of Triple Triad had me in tears. I doubt I'll be getting it on any of my alts.

I want the bunny outfit, next, but if 8000 MPG makes me foam at the mouth, I'm sure I'll never get, uh, 200k or whatever it is? Yikes.

This is off topic, but there is no good reason for anyone in the game to have everything in a new patch, right off the bat when patch launch. While I am not 100% satisfied with how things go but then I can feel how much of a difficult life Yoship have at times.


Just prioritize what you really want first and obtain them in the order you want them. What good does it do when you have things handed to you or easily obtained, that the average casual players can obtain them before 2.55 hits (or even within a week or two of patch)? To only complain on forums that there are lack of things to do? And then SE tries to give you things to work for until the next patch, but then to receive complains that it is too grindy to achieve? Then there goes the vicious cycle of complaining too much to grind, and then too little content to do?

I agree, partly. I really, really don't feel that hair should be barred behind something like this, however. Much as I wish the bunny outfit were more affordable, because I play rather casually, I'm fine with the fact that they're long-term goals. I don't mind working for clothes. Hair, though? Eh. It feels wrong to me.

I don't even mean to say that all hairstyles should be handed out freely, either. The Lightning hairstyle is or was (I don't remember) obtained by doing at least a part of that questline, as I recall. That seems fine. But grinding currency to purchase hair doesn't feel right.

I'm probably the odd one out, though. I can't complain for lack of things to do. I actually complain that there is too much to do, to the point it feels overwhelming. I still haven't fought Leviathan, or any of the Extremes on my main. I haven't got a single Atma. I don't have half the classes I want to try leveled. I just don't like grinding, but so much of the game is grinding, so I often feel discouraged from playing at all. I'd much rather have nothing to do and just log on to socialize, do dungeons, and roleplay. Instead, I usually feel like I'm wasting time if I'm not working on a grind. :P

this is what i meant
i want to be able to see how it will look on my character. not how i looks on on a picture we don't even get the full 360 degree view of. if in the end they add more hairstyles to this so be it. at least let me see how it looks with a "try on" function before i buy something i might not even like.

I bought the hairstyle first for my Elezen. Was pretty excited till I dawned it. It looked like someone could land an aircraft on my forehead. LOL I switched back to my normal style. It also made it difficult for anyone to determine my gender. Lalafells are near impossible now to tell apart if they use this hair style.

It's only fair. I saw a female lalafell I thought was male, until I saw her name and gemstone. Now the males can gender bend, too!

I think RPGs typically have a level of grind system there which is unavoidable, but probably the MMO factor makes it different. The typical single player RPGs, you can just play for the story and throw it to a corner once it is done. You can play at any speed you want and do the optional quests and bosses at any pace you want, it is rather cool. But probably not an MMO, as updates comes constantly. If one can't spend decent time in an MMO, one would definitely get left behind and feels discouraged. I think it's natural. I'd feel discouraged when every Tom, Dick and Harry have the latest shinies and even their grandma has it but not me. So yeah some times, you need to consider if MMO is suitable for you or not.

But then I guess if you liked this game and community, what you are doing is fine then. For me there are usually long periods where I just wait for new content but I still log on to AFK, chit chat or just do some random shits with in-game friends.

i just got the new hairstyle and i do like it; however, this system still needs to be able to let us try on hairstyles that become added to the golden saucer. just because i am satisfied with the hair does not mean somebody who bought it and tried it on did not like it.

One thing they could do is simply add the hairstyle to the list of ones you can change to, which acts as a preview anyway, and simply have the game say "You must unlock this hairstyle before you can use it".

It wouldn't be any different than wasting MGP on a Gold Triad Card with MOTHER!#@$^ BADERON AGAIN!!!!

I bought it to see it on my toon, I was a bit disappointed. I think it could have looked better for having to spend winnings on it. 1.) I wish it was longer... 2.) the part looks ugly 3.) only pro thing I can say about it, is if I wear a hat it doesn't tuck my hair in it anymore. But I went back to my 'usual non-clipping' hairstyle within a day.

Honestly, I don't care where or how hairstyles are placed, but ones I have to buy with any kind of currency, 'real' or digital, need to have a 'try on' option.

I bought the hair style during the late afternoon of the patch day and i was like bummer this hairstyle was so not worth the 8k mgp i'll never get back.

Gambling to win is one thing but to gamble on buying stuff due to no try on feature is wrong.
No one else had it that was on i guess and no pics were posted within that timeframe. So i had no ideaaaaaa how short the ponytail would be.
Sad day that was ;_;
And the " u should have waited for someone else to get it so u can see how it looks" is out of the question. U need to stfu and underdtand that that is a bandaid solution.
We need a damn try on button for hairstyles.
End of discussion.

Yeah like real talk, do the people saying this even into fashion? Whether or not a hairstyle works on my character is gonna depend on all kinds of crap. Current gear, skin color, face shape, eye shape, and all sorts of other features are going to heavily change how a hairstyle looks from one character to the next. Not even considering race differences. You're playing an Elezen or Roe lady? Good luck even finding another member of your race+gender combo, much less one using the hairstyle.

I'm fine with hairstyles being bought through MGP, but there definitely should be a way to preview how it would look on you first.

Hell no
There is only 1 thing that need to change, a preview window like the one for gear.

I must suck at searching because I can't find a single image of a male highlander with this hair style. Let alone one that looks similar to mine with the same face and beard so i can see how it would look. There needs to be some way to preview this hair before buying it.

I think the aesthetician should show all hairstyles in the game, but with a lock icon on any you don't have access to (like the GS one if you haven't bought it). Allow you to display your character in that screen with any of them, but the final "yes change my look to this one" button (I forget what it's actually called) would be disabled whenever you have locked-out features displayed. That would make a good "try on" window for things like hairstyles or any other character features they want to make conditionally available.
