Little Ladies's Day

Ok ... this thread has some strange praise.

Flowers and monocles have never been gender locked. (Your character is GIVEN a monocle that looks very much like this in the story)
And Viera and Ronso can wear all head gear that's not hats or helms so there's no reason to expect a flower or monocle to not work on them when every other flower hair pin and monocle works on them.

O_o

It's simple really, people have gotten so used to not being allowed to wear pieces it is actually a surprise people like when they show off Viera/Hrothgar wearing them.

Well played SE, but you can't fool me mwahahahahahahahaha.

Still I don't get why it were chosen to create ten colored copies of same flower headpiece than just one dyeable.

I think they've locked themselves into a system with the "growing coloured flowers" mechanism and they just have to keep going with it.

Still, I wish they managed it better because the flowers are usually lurid bright colours that don't match anything ever.

It would be great if you could tint them with dyes, or if they were partly dyeable while still retaining the specific coloured parts.

The peach corsage looks nice, and also looks like it's worn on the opposite side of the head than the existing corsages? Could help with certain gear matching.

There aren't anywhere near enough headpieces that sit on that side! Only the Makai butterfly hairpin as far as I'm aware.

Yes, but event gear is often locked so it seems like a 50/50 chance.

Also, last year's daisy crowns were essentially gender-locked by giving us one item with two different appearances.

I'd love to see them redo the corsage system and should probably make a separate thread for this being kind of off-topic but...

I think ideally I'd do it like:

White corsage: Rare flowers, can be dyed
Black corsage: Rare flowers
Rainbow corsage: Current "rainbow" version crafted using blue/yellow/red flowers
Fire corsage: A "Rainbow" crafted using yellow/orange/red flowers
Pastel corsage: Soft version like hydrangeas, crafted using purple/blue/red flowers

And other color combinations, etc. It'd still keep the gardening for unique colors aspect in tact while also creating room for better/alternate rainbow patterns AND allowing room for a dyable version.

Also RIP Reuse... corsage king.

And again, there's no logical connection between these 2 items.

They do it with skirts/shorts and pants quite often... when they change an outfit based on gender it may not even match the icon meant to represent it.
They do it often enough that I've begun to notice when they don't do it, like with this event fortunately.

I'm not big on any of the furnitures but I looooove that corsage, the monocle is good for a more foppish character, too.

Please do, because I'd support the heck out of a system like that.

The corsage looks like it changes appearance some based on gender this year too. The Viera in the image has 5 flowers and in a bright pink. The icon only has 3 flowers in a duller pink and maybe a (more) yellow center. The icon usually depicts the male variation. Can't say about the monocle because the image shows it on a male character.

Hmm, good point. Though I think the yellower(?) centre might be just how it's rendered on the image vs the 3D item.

It's an odd decision to make, though. It's not like having less flowers in your pink flower hairpin makes it more masculine.

Forgive the gender stereotyping please - both my male characters made use of the daisy crown! (And no it didn't look feminine on them. Really.)
