Viera & Hrothgar need access to more helmets/Hats

[Rasikko]

Id be content, if I could wear the RDM hat.

[Dyvid]

I agree and was half way expect the newly released gear with show on the newly released races.... Foolish of me really

I can understand not going back to old headgear and remapping the texture to Hroght/Viera but 5.0+ gear, really?

That's what I thought at first, but since 5.0+ we are getting less and less. So, it actually makes sense now. MAYBE they are working on something big, maybe even an update for the races, but...

I'm actually genuinely curious, do you know of an actual list somewhere of what hats each race can wear vs the other? I don't know of one, but I do know there are also hats Viera can wear that Hrothgar can't. I got a pretty neat hat last night that my friend couldn't try on at all.

Hoods are a little eh but I do like the Nier hood when visored at least. Otherwise its problem isn't the ears, it's that it makes our faces look really small. I can live with that much because most hooded outfits are kinda boring or ugly anyway, and Krile's looks bad on anyone but a Lallafel period imo

Would love to know what hat you're talking about as the only "hat" I've seen on Viera is the Copy Factory one which Hrothgar can wear and something I would more so call a hair pin. Viera don't seem to have "hat hair models" for any of their hair, you either wear a hood that completely takes away the hair or you wear something that completely replaces the head or you wear something that lays ontop of the hair like a pin.

Or a hood where the ears poke through because they literally clip through it.

I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTION REGARDING THIS ISSUE -

Can Viera wear Archaeodemon Horns?

When I say hat, I mean head slot item generally. But yeah I mean, we've got hoods, masks (face and eye), crowns, glasses/goggles/eyepatches, hair pins/flowers, the ribbon from achievement points, and a couple of other circlet type things so far as I've seen.

It was last night and I was half asleep when I got it so- I don't actually remember what it was. I just know it was neat and my Hrothgar friend couldn't wear it. Might've sold it but I'll see if I can track it down...

Ah wait. I think it was the sky pirate's mask of striking.

Yes. I use them a lot. One of my favorite glams. ^^

Groovy.

One day, I will be a rabbit lady.

Unfortunately, Roegadames are too powerful and I can not beat their kung-fu.

This is funny because they are NOT treated this way.

As in ... Hrothgar can actually show more headgear than Viera cause the devs don't have to deal with the effery that is Viera Ears.
(Hrothgar get fully face covering buckets that can't visor cause it replaces the head.)

As for your pics, the clipping of Liz horns doesn't hold a candle to the tragic sight that is Viera wearing hoods.
Besides, we already know why Viera can't wear hats. Their ears are in the "hat" slot so that they can be customized. Unlike cats their ears are not apart of their hair, they can actually change the shape and size of them. Meaning that w/e artistic solution they come up with for "how do you make these ears not look stupid in a hat" would have to be model 4 different times (the 4 different ears they would replace) with different possible sizes.

In a new game building a new system for this would be possible ... this game aint a new game though so that's a whole lot of work. And seeing as Bunny Ears is the only thing that defines this race they clearly didn't want to go the route that would best allow for a solution to hats (As in, make them all have the same ears with zero customization like cats).

They have said more than once what they're plans are, recently they said they plan to add "helms unique" to them over time.(which I take to mean ... stuff like the Fran hair Helm? A hair style with a helm but IDK)

Or a hood where the ears poke through because they literally clip through it.

Viera with hooded robes look no different than Au ra, horns poke through. This ain't a Viera problem, this is just how the game is.

Yet Miqo'te ears get extensions, or stitched holes for them depending on the hood.
