Viera & Hrothgar need access to more helmets/Hats

[HeyMcFly]

As the title says- I want to keep this in SE's face- it can be done. It shouldn't be called a "technical issue"

Maybe eventually, Hrothgar & Viera will have access to more headpieces in the future, or SE will see noone seems to be asking, so like many things- will be swept under the rug & forgotten about, just like players asking for less NPC exclusive hairstyles.

One fine example: Matoya's Hat. It's a bonus item given for purchasing the Encyclopedia Eorzea-- Something that can be obtained only by money needs to be designed for all races in mind. Yes, it's optional, but that's no excuse as to why it's limited to other races.


If Au'Ra can somehow still wear helmets through their horns- Hrothgar & Viera can wear more hats & Helmets- Not every large hat has to have Viera ears sticking out of it- but I can see most working just like how hoods work on Viera- Most headpieces & hats should be visible, if not all.
On an RP standpoint- I can see Hrothgar melding holes in their helmets so their horns can come through-
Viera & Hrothgar can have more hats & helmets designed to wear & actually be seen.

Agree with me or not, my point stands- Hrothgar & Viera need to have more hats & helmets visible.

Would it be nice? Absolutely.
Needs to be? No.

They made it pretty clear what those of us who chose to play these races were getting into before they came out.
No hats, limited hair.
OK, some of the team did some off their own back, here you go.
Well, we'll add some more and do some more hair/faces for them, at some point in the future, we'll let you know when we've more to say, please look forward to it.

I made my choice when I was told I'd never get any, so if I get any at all I simply consider it a welcome bonus but I in no way need them and will happily live without them for getting to play a race I enjoy.

And that's perfectly fine-- I also find it unacceptable those sorts of limitations. If it was a "for now, they cant have X but down the road, yes" then I'd be singing a different tune

Wasn't this already addressed by Yoshi and team?
Since they already addressed it, they can be held to the fact they said they were working on it. They never specified WHEN they'd have anything, but they said they were gonna do something about it.
They dont need constant reminders about it, and I doubt they will try to sweep it under the rug as if nobody wants it/cares about it because its not being talked about as a hot button issue.
You also need to consider with the Hrothgar, many of those head pieces would need to possibly be redesigned, because they arn't being placed on a standard Humanoid head with the Hrothgar.

Viera & Hrothgar need access to more helmets/Hats

No they don't need it. It would be nice but in these hard times with the coronavirus about, people dying to give Hrothgar a hat would be horrible. So no, they don't *need* more access.

Who is anyone to say what the game needs or not, that was their opinion. It's up to Square Enix to agree or not.
The corona excuse doesn't fly with me, I'm still paying the same price to access the game; I'm a stakeholder.

...ok c'mon dude.
The Corona Excuse is a decent enough excuse. Im sure even the Male Viera Group doesn't want to risk the health of SE's employees & Dev team just to get something they want. (I hope) Just because you pay a monthly subscription to earn the ability & privilege to play an online game doesn't mean you can tell SE & crew to risk their health during an Epidemic.

No one is asking them to risk anything. Adding more helmets/hats isn't going to make them contract the virus.
I'm asking them to make decisions that allow them to add hats/helmets to Viera; such as delaying patches and do research into what their competitors are doing in a disaster situation such as this.

But they already have trouble working with the game, even less some ''extra stuff'' because of corona. Yes they aren't in contact with it, but that is why they aren't in the office, but rather working from home. I don't think its reasonable to say corona didn't make things harder for the dev team...

Curious, how does doing research into what other Companies are doing during the Pandemic = Getting Hats & Helmets to Viera?
Just, that line of dialogue reads pretty weird. Like reading that Black Desert Online is doing an event about catching and slaying runaway werewolves from an ancient lab, followed by a Raid about slaying the Head Werewolf that started it all, will translate into Viera getting more Glamour.
