Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Fukuro]

I just wanna wear the calfskin hat plus have new hairs. I won't post modded pictures, so have a drawing of my hroth wearing the calfskin hat instead T_T. They look so good with it omg....

WOOW the drawing is so good!

But you can draw him without the ears while you‘re at ir, since the cat ears of miqo‘s got cut off and i expect the same to happen to hroths if it gets wearable.
i don‘t like to wear it because miqo‘tes look so stupid wearing it, it‘s just not really well fitted for their heads.

Problem is what is right for even male viera during EW? They most definitely aren't going to have hats.. Maybe they will release a couple unisex styles in the next couple years, or be able to use female hairs? They are being released too early, in my opinion. I was saying this just now in another thread actually.

I think we should have got our graphical update first, where races would supposedly be easier, and less time consuming to implement. It will be a gigantic shame if female hrothgar are just as limited as male hrothgar because they get released to early. Male hrothgar have so many glaring issues.. those should have been, and should be addressed before piling on the problems. MAYBE, there is a chance, that during the implementation of female hrothgar, they won't inherit male hrothgar issues, but we really don't know. All this prior to the graphical update has me concerned.

I agree. /10chars

It's criminal that they cut off miqo's ears when wearing that hat. Having them poke out would be immensely adorable.

I love this photo! Do the devs even realize how much being able to wear hats and have different hair would affect us? It’s not a small gripe.

That is beautiful. Great art! Kudos.

I'm not really sure when they're coming, but they did say when revealing M-Viera that they were considering holding them back until F-Hroth's were ready too, but decided to release them in the order they were completed. That sounds a lot less like "We'll work on them later." and more "M-Viera are more humanoid and simply pulled ahead." That comment makes no sense to make unless both were being actively worked on at the same time, so while they could always hold and work on F-Hroth's till 7.0 I don't think they're as unfinished as some think.

I think it also had a lot to do with the Fanfest deadline. M Viera, being humanoid as you said, are easier to put together and probably were closer "to show" than f Hroth. Probably also spent a little more time on them just to get them ready for the Fanfest reveal.

Wouldn't surprise me, they could have been working on them both, seen the date and realized M-Viera could actually be ready and showable and shifted gears to them. My take is they'll put most of the focus on them leading up to November but will still be working on F-Hroths in the background and once 6.0 hits, keep working on them, I'm taking them not saying anything about hats or hair as them simply wanting to get the races finished first, so I'd assume the graphical designers are all hands on deck with the missing genders now.
They could always say something contrary between now and then, but that's how I think they intend to handle it, it seems to be the plan at least.

I agree. To ME it felt like that's what they were saying, that they simply wont be in 6.0 but could very well be released in 6.1 or w/e, when ever they are finished.
And yeah, Viera are easier to make than Hrothgar. The Hrothgar males have far more expressive and longer emotes than Viera did and at the end of the day Viera are just humans with bunny ears whereas Hrothgar have animal faces and fur patterns.

Semi unrelated but this pic reminds me how that hat, or whoever designed it, is kinda bias. It looks good on some races but ironically on Roes, the biggest race, it's "too big"...couldn't be bother to properly scale it, so once again modders doing what they do best lol
