5.3 Preliminary Patch Note

[Vahlnir]

All this yacking about Aurum Vale should be a signal to the devs that if they want to make harder dungeons they should just make Aurum Vale type dungeons where you have to strategize mob pulls, location, environment, and understand boss mechanics (you know, the main principles of PVE).

What's more surprising than the Aurum Vale change is no new hairstyles, not even for the "normal" races. Well all I can say to people that play the "normal" races is: welcome to the club, now we're all not getting new hairstyles.

The full patch notes aren't out yet so it's still a possibility. An unlikely one, but still a possibility all the same.

Which would be interesting considering how hairstyles (for normal races) was something they proudly showcased in the Live Letters, then that stopped, then it was moved to something they only show in the Promotional site. If they show it in the full patch notes now there's something to be said: how did it go from being a promotional feature to being a patch note mention the day of the patch? In my opinion, if that happens, it feels like they know how much they screwed up the handling of new hairstyles this expansion, to the point where it's not something you use to sell your product (promotional website). If they were so confident in the female Viera/Hrothgar split and not modifying hats/helmets they really shouldn't be hiding the hairstyles they won't get, just be proud of your decision.

It's likely if there are hairstyles they'll be in the 5.31 Ishgard stuff I think the last ones were and they want to cut down on the 'where do i get the hairstyle' questions when it isn't yet obtainable
