Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[LuciaMirain]

I was wondering if the ribbons float miles away from the back of the head on other races too, but I rarely see anyone wear any.

I think my frustration started growing alot around the eden raids when the headgear clipped really badly with 80% of the few hairstyles viera had. I really started feeling like I was being robbed of experiencing the same fun as others. I know people say that au ra horns clip but Ive played au ra and I have not really experienced this to be that big of an issue with them and even then, au ras have access to all headgear and hairstyles anyways so it doesnt really bother as much since they can be way more versatile.

I used fantasia last night, but haven't actually gone through with switching yet. The option is there on my login page for when 6.1 drops.
I am tired of the lack of options compared to the other races: lack of hairstyles and headpieces, badly implemented hairs and headpieces. I wouldve traded the customizable ears for the ability to have all hairstyles and headgear.
I dont want floating bows or tiaras or having to pick the flattest hairstyle because the others clip so badly with the few headpieces we get.
I love my viera and I feel sad about leaving her but a great part of my gameexperience is playing with looks/glams
Sorry, just a sad rant

I'm just trying to stop using fantasias altogether. All it is doing is rewarding SE for keeping viera as limited as they are. I had meant to stop around the start of ShB, but I got annoyed with the viera limitations, and since then I have spent hundreds in fantasias just going back and forth off them. There is no incentive for SE to really fix the issues (quickly at least), if they are getting more money not too - this includes hrothgar.

The clipping for au ra is mostly just bad if you like wearing helmets, but I'd say they are better than miqo'te even when it comes to hats. The simple fact that they aren't limited has been the deciding factor for me playing them over viera in the past. The big issue with viera and the headgear that works, is probably the big, puffy, styles, so the headgear will either float, or clip with many alternative styles. Unfortunately, they have so few hair options, that it can be difficult to find something that works with those headpieces. I do hope viera will be updated more frequently over time, new hairstyles are a must for this race.

I had two fantasias left from last time I bought a bunch when I was happily trying out new things. But I agree. I don't want to buy more fantasias since the money for them obviously arent going into making viera be on par with the other races (not to mention Hrothgars).

At least you won't have to spend even more over this issue then. I do wonder what that money is going into, because, yeah, it's definitely not this. If it takes them until the very end of ShB to even consider adding hair for viera. Pretty much the whole concept of them making a limited race, having a severe issue like with hrothgar, and taking this long to even do something about it is too much. Who knows if the thing with hrothgar will even be fixed. New hairs could just mean more things they have to fantasia to use!

Im not expecting anything. Alot of things have been underwhelming so far in terms of aesthetics. The ribbon that you need 800gems for are undyable and floats, the crafted red one as well, the sharlayan hairwreath isnt dyable either and costs 800 gems, the hairstyles they gave to viera look mostly terrible and hrothgar got no updates in that department (will they even get it?), alot of gear from the last expansion was reused and not even shifted around amongst the jobs which means we barely got any new gear to play around with glamourwise.
