Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Allegor]

The irony of the hair situation is viera have just about the same shaped head as midlanders. There are modders who literally copy paste the midlander hair onto viera and it looks the same with just a slight gap between the ears and the top of the head on some. I think the reason for not implementing the already released hairstyles has more to do with the female viera being paired with Hrothgar. Maybe because male viera are being released they may at least let the viera use purchased or special unlocked modern aesthetics.

I played a Worgen in WoW so I'm experienced in waiting/being left for last. Now that Hrothgals were confirmed I don't mind to take the backseat while Viera get the spotlight, it also releases the pressure of the notion that Vieras were held back because of Hrothgars.

Oh no, what I mean is that now that male Viera exist, they can be treated as the proper counterpart to female Viera, so the whole "Hrothgar and Viera are a unit so they can't do anything with Viera because of Hrothgar" argument is now a moot point.

Female Hroths were also confirmed, so I, personally, would rather wait for my own dance partner than be a third wheel, if that makes sense lol

although i am so happy with them announcing officially that we'll be getting female hrothgar ! my future main ,
i am abit concerned that this will be another excuse of why they can't/ won't be adding new hairstyles for viera/hrothgar ( because we were too busy working on male viera and we should be thankful and not ask for more ).

The silver lining is that all the people switching over to male Viera will quickly realize how restrictive it can feel to not wear hats, or having limited hairstyle options. Hopefully they will push for a fix with the same intensity as before.

This is what I'm hoping, Viera will now be a "complete race" (and Hrothgar will be in the future as well) so they can be un-linked from each other.

I can't get a really good look, but a cursory glance it looks like the male Viera ears themselves are slightly different shaped but will have the same shaped attachment points and all in the same spot like female Viera, so in theory they'd have to modify each hairstyle once and it would fit both.

Though a point against that would be that they could've done that all along and simply re-used them for when male Viera released, and they decided not to.

That's such a funny and cute way of looking at it.

I wasn't able to watch the entirety of the keynote. Did they say anything about hairstyle availability for (f) Viera or (m) Hrothgar?

[Sotaris]

I was pretty surprised with the announcement. I mean I'm happy yall been wanting this but I wonder how much has taken a hit because of this and is still limited.
I guess time will tell.

The LL is tomorrow. Maybe they will talk about the viera/Hrothgar issues then. They did at least apologize for not having female Hrothgar ready. They might at the very least comment about it.

I don't recall Yoshida taking a deep bow. They explained why they chose not to do female Hrothgar now.

honestly this was my first thought as well. There is no excuse now and any hairstyle they make for male viera they might as well pass on to female viera and so on. I am hoping for that long hairstyle one of the vieramen has, actually I am hoping for all of them, they looked great. I am so happy over the the races being completed and as much as I wish femhrothgar was implemented now I hope that they deciding to only add viera means the two genders will actually get alot of TLC at each of their releases so they are more complete than what femviera and malehroth when they were released.

I think good news is coming later today. They will give us more hairstyles and hopefully some images of female Hrothgar. I have a male Hroth and he will most like be hitting a fantasia pot when they release.

Edit: Since my post count is maxed still atm. It looks like Male Viera will indeed be shorter than the females but not by much.

Edit2: Actually that may be a fan image after doing a google translate of the Japanese on twitter. Guess we will have to wait for later today.
