Hairstyle Concerns for The New Races

[FoxyAreku]

I think the current hairstyles clip with viera ears, that's why they weren't able to put them with the current global hairstyles.

They have said they are working to make helmets and stuff work with them though so I think hairstyles may go along with that and we will see them later.

The sad thing is that I have seen at least one Viera hairstyle that clips with their shoulder. So honestly that would be a bad argument in my view, especially since we have a certain "ball" hairstyle that looks really strange on the kittens because they would not change it for them. IMO let the people decide if they want to have to deal with that or not.

This math doesn't add up nicely. Every viera face can have any viera hairstyle. This is not the case for hrothgar. Claiming that the math doesn't lie in this context is like telling two groups of people that they have an even amount of clothing, but in the case of one group they fit only half of them. So while both groups have the same amount of clothing, only one group can wear everything. The math only looks tidy when you don't bother to think about the end user experience.

The math doesnt also add up if you simply look at this with "one person creates one character". If you want a character you can only choose one face. With female Viera you can use one face and with that 8 different hairstyles and one variation for this thanks to the ones with or without bangs. If you choose a face from Hrothgar you can choose two hairstyles for it and maybe some small variations to this later but in the end its still 8 vs. 2.

The same could be said about hair and helmets though. I understand that the players who want to enjoy the fur choices without being in various stages of undress will be out of luck.

They could have done both. I mean we get racial tattos, so maybe make the fur the tattoo option and the color of the fur would be the one you choose for your hair. This way all that want different fur can have it. At the same time have the hairstyles unlocked from the faces and those would be happy too. I at least have my character much more without a headgear (or the option on to turn them off) so hairstyles are important for me.

IMO making fur that important in customization for the Hrothgar just feels bad because that will also restrict the glamour option for this race even more since you cant see it with most gear. (And at the same time I question why it was even so important to give us headgear at launch if they have the same hair anyway all the time. But that of course is just my opinion)
