Possible Ideas to Address Hrothgar/Viera Hat Disparity?

[Yencat]

Viera would get new hairstyles, hrothgar would get new faces, supposedly. That tells me, no "fix". I doubt they would even admit that there needs to be a "fix". They've always said, due to unique heads, or whatever.. which means a conscious design decision they are content with, as is. Unique heads being a FEATURE, rather than a problem that needs to be fixed. I'm not too confident they have even been looking for a "fix", as you may think. I think your opinion may change when 6.0 rolls around and IF we get updates to these races it's just more of the same. If all we get after 2 years is just "more of the same", we will probably be too deep in, and I highly doubt viera/hrothgar will EVER get some kind of "fix".

This is basically my worry, they specifically said new faces and manes for Hrothgar and race specific hair for Viera. So if there is no way/plans to fundamentally fix Hrothgar to be able to give them regular updates to CC throughout an expansion then Viera sinks with them and we'll both only see something new every 2 years on a new expansion launch.

No, I really do think the community is being largely ignored when it comes to viera/hrothgar. I don't know about a "stay tuned" for male viera, but if they are going to release male viera/female hrothgar just as limited, probably better off not doing it. I know some people will disagree, but I think it would actually be in SE's best interest at that point, and we don't need a repeat of what has been happening. I seriously doubt new male viera/female hrothgar players would be happy with all these limitations.

When they revealed Viera they were asked why male Viera weren't shown and were told to "stay tuned" for the next Fan Fest, giving the impression they were being saved for the next Fan Fest and getting people's hopes up. I believe that's what they're referring to.

Anyway, several people have already made it known they won't mind the limitations (they could even only have 1 single hair!) as long as they get male Viera/female Hrothgar. So I guess they have the okay from that side.

I think its better that they actually FIX the issue after being bombarded with how much of an issue it is, rather then a bandaid to temporarily make people happy-but will just make people mad anyway (Like serious, some people find any little thing to complain about)

That's what I'm saying though, I also think it would be better spending the time to actually fix it but if that's the case then why can that not be communicated? They strung people along on the technicality that they never gave a date for the future patches knowing people thought it would be 5.1, 5.2 etc. That's not being hasty, they worded it that way very carefully.

They don't need to send monthly updates but they've never even acknowledged that it's something that needs fixing, so why all the cloak and daggers when we know they can give a statement quickly if something was wrong and they need more time to fix it.

The Hrothgar situation is not "finding any little thing to complain about", it's straight up scummy and I've never seen another game do something like this unless there's no aesthetician system in the game so it works like that for every race.

Like really, what company would do that? Thats just a giant waste.

This sums up the whole situation regarding both races perfectly, it is a giant waste. And the answer is SE.
