Hey Viera and Hrothgar players!

[RivinStormfang]

Its a bit worse for Hrothgar, because of the face/hair locking, resulting in people using the same face AND hair combo, almost exclusively.

I dunno if I'd agree with that. While I'm probably using the most popular face/hair combo for Hrothgar, it's definitely not the most common by a very large margin. I see a lot of the "soft" face in-game, and even of those I see with the same face/hair I use, I've only run into one other Hrothgar so far that actually looks similar to my character, due to the large variance in color palettes and other customization options (i.e. even of those I see using the same face/hair combo, rarely do I see any using the braid on the front).

So far I'm happy. Not many any that looks like mine oddly, most pick the super young cute face. I do miss my dragoon helm though, that's the only thing making me wanting to swap back.. May do that today even lol

[ArashiStormbreaker]

I only miss to have the Face/Hair option locked.... we don't have changes of hair,

The Helmet I don't care i love see my face!

[SturmChurro]

Really?

Yeah, really. I also stated with my face options - I used fuller lips. The other races au ra/miqo'te are definitely more expressive, and you can see the emotion on their faces better. I think viera have very expressive eyes however.

Welcome to viera rehab.

Ahhh! I see you went to Au Ra as well! Ya... I'm playing dice atm to decide my fate since I am so indecisive. Thus far the dice are winning me towards scaly girl.

Good choice. Au Ra were always my favorite before. I would switch to miqo'te from time to time for some variation, but always went back to this one. I barely change anything about her either, this time I changed her tail.. kind of (just length).. Can't fix what isn't broke!

I'd say it's definitely worth switching back to an au ra, or at the very least waiting to see what kind of updates or when they have planned for viera. However, if you are missing a helmet... yeah, you might as well switch back now. Doubt we will ever see those.

I love how expressive Hrothgars are.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned that bugs me though is how some circlets seems to float in front of the hrothgar's forehead.

I miss hats.

I find it slightly funny that when Viera were chosen as one of the new races most of the complaints were "it's just going to be X with bunny ears!" Now they're out its "They don't emote like X! They don't move like X! They don't look like/can be as short as/have faces like X!"
A lot of people now seem to want them to be an exact carbon copy of their favourite race, just with the ears.

Tbh, it could be seen coming. They were pretty much just Elezen with ears, they're not that unique of a race sadly.
