Hairstyle Concerns for The New Races

[reivaxe]

Honestly guessing that they will be working on the new races all the way until launch, they already had to delay the benchmark so chances are that they still just aren't finished and released what they /did/ have done for people to play around with.

I shouldn't be surprised by there being multiple threads already with people panicking/raging/disappointed I suppose.. but... *sighs*

People enjoy freaking out before actually seeing the finished product. Like with the Hrothgar reveal. The trailer didn't do them justice at all but what we see now looks so much better than even then. I have faith that SE will have far more options upon release, but even if they don't I'll still change. The new races are perfect in aesthetic, in my opinion.

Yeah, like I've been saying I assume that Hrothgar's Racial hair is tied to their face and when you go to the Hair guy he unlocks the shared hair styles. Mainly because hair is something they put a lot of importance on ... be it as a reward for content like events or HoH or RL contest (Cloud hair) or something you pay for. So telling someone who convert to these races* that they can't use any of the styles they unlocked or won would be hella strange. Even more so seeing how the shared hair styles are known for not fitting every race well so an afro hiding ears isn't new.

Hope someone ask them about this at some point before the release. I'm rolling both regardless, but completely confused on what we're gonna get if they don't add them to these races. Like what ... go to the hair style guy and he just allows you to change your fur pattern and color for Hrothgar and let Viera only change between 8 hairs and their bangs styles? Would they give Hrothgar a ton of Patterns and more racial hairs for both to make up for this? Will Hrothgar be able to change faces with the hair guy?

*I say races because Viera are also limited to 8 hair styles with a unique alt version. At this point after the head gear stuff I feel like they're treated as a packaged deal ... if we assume more will come for Viera we should assume the same here.
