Feedback: Please continue to develop Viera / Hrothgar Character Customization

[Duskane]

Yoshi is well aware of the Request for the missing genders and they are working on head gear for viera and Hrothgar
he has made a big statement about all of this
he cant promise anything just in-case they cant do it
doubting him isnt really gonna help the situation

i suggest Little arrow you post in the Female Hrothgar and Male viera support threads

head gear thing is just a matter of time they are working on them

Hey thanks for the post, but I very much disagree with your response.

You're speaking as if their vague response is a solid promise. It isn't. Also, what they have responded with, just isn't enough imo.

Like I posted in my last response, it's due to these forums and players requests that this game is the way it is. I will continue to support my feedback request and focus on the headgear and full completion of the races. Thank you though, I really appreciate your insight

I know this has gone without saying for some people, but SE please continue to fully develop Viera and Hrothgar character customization.

I understand the team was under a pretty intense crunch, but currently the races are not completed compared to the other races.

• Please distinguish Hrothgar's hairstyles from their faces, and fit current hairstyles to them
  
• Please add current hairstyles to Viera
  
• Please fit ALL helmets and headgear to both Viera and Hrothgar
  
• Please add both genders to both races

I understand that this expansion has provided an incredible premium gaming experience, but please complete these races.

1: Yeah that's silly. That being said, Au'ra have been waiting to have their horns separated from their faces for how long now?
2: Yes. I don't even understand why this has to be brought up.. Viera have normally-shaped heads, why don't we have all the normal hairstyles that the Miqo'te have?
3: Yes. Again, this should have gone along with releasing a new race. This is an expected step and the fact they didn't feel it was worth taking is troubling. Some of their programmers had to do the ones we have themselves on their own time. That should not have happened.
4: Not going to happen. You're not asking for character customization here, you're asking for 2 new race choices and it would come with all the other stuff you're asking for here. It may happen sometime in the future, but it's an expansion-level change.

100% agree with the OP. I love my Viera but I want to see her have all the options any other race has. The coolest hat dropped in a dungeon last night. Had I been a Miqote or an Au Ra, it would have shown on my character. Neither of those races are my style though.

They've already commented about the hair as been stated in this thread. Viera will get "some" of the shared hairs but not all and Hrothgar will get new Hrothgar only hairs and new faces.



What I personally would like to see is, after that, when ever a new hair is added to the Mog or game Hrothgar get a new fur pattern linked to unlocking it. I mean, in a better world we would just get new Hrothgar hair every time they add hair to this game but if they don't do that then at LEAST give us more patterns as a reward for unlocking that on these characters. You can do meem stuff like symbols or shapes such as stars or hearts ... or do any number of animal patterns we don't have. Like Bengal pattern, calico pattern, Marbled/ Braided stripes/ Pin stripes pattern!

Hope they do something to fix the whole "Hrothgar need to use a potion to change hair styles" thing. That's a REAL big over sight.

I personally think they're never making the hats and helms fit. If only because of that unappealing looking "bent ear" option for Viera. Sure, any other ear could have a ear hole area or just clip once to get there if they wanted to make it work even if it looks trash ... but the bent ears with a big brimmed hat? That ish would poke right through the brim and look extra NOPE yet they were ok with adding those ears. Makes me think they don't have plans to add hats.

[LittleArrow]

The bent ears aren't anymore problematic than my giant spider-jaw-horns. Seriously, if they can make the aura's fit in every helmet, they can easily do the same for viera.

I know I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up, but I was really hoping to read more headgear had been fitted with 5.01. Please SE, please complete these races

[Kaedan]

They have already said that that is their intent.

Heya! I posted a couple times in response to the actual fan-translated quote. They didn't actually say this specifically compared to what I"m asking for. They said more or less "some head gear, at some point, maybe"

I also no longer take vague off the hand statements Yoshi makes at face value any longer. He's broken multiple promises to fans in the past. Basically, the most effective manner for player feedback to be represented in game is through petitions and feedback.

Not trying to take a dig at Yoshi. I have no idea what it entails to develop a game, and I still think they're doing a great job

[Hopecord]

I want more color palettes like yellow, orange, and red, why I can't make my hrothgar (helions clan only) a tiger like or Red XIII, not including such colors is beyond me

Some options can't be implemented, especially for Hrothgar, because of how they've used the "fixed template" of character creator options in ways it wasn't intended to work.

They've taken the hairstyle setting (with its linked base colour + highlight colour settings) and used that to implement two-toned fur patterns. There absolutely should be more varieties of pattern available as compensation, but the option for picking individual hairstyles is gone. It does not exist for Hrothgar. There is something else filling that space.

It's also worth noting that already the "eight Hrothgar faces" are actually four faces, each with two hairstyle options (plus variants to make four per face). Any further faces/hairstyles are almost certainly going to replicate the same faces again and add another different hairstyle.

This unusual workaround may also mean that hats/helmets on Hrothgar are permanently impossible, as it's not programmed like normal hair and may not be able to 'vanish' so it doesn't clip through equipped headgear.


Viera have less reason to have the hairstyles restricted, and their current hairstyles aren't really designed with their ears in mind anyway, so I'm not sure what the holdup is there.
