I think by now Viera should be able to wear any hat

I think at this point we’re just gonna have to accept the fact that Hroth and Viera will always have limitations.

And people like you is the reason for it. You get helf a job for full price and love it. What here need to make the devs finish it? Expect more of this going on.

I guess I'm half in both camps. I was more than agreeable at the start: No hats or hair? Well, they said it was for unique customizations that no other race has access to. Viera specific hair releases and lots of options!

We didn't get that. The fact they are unlocking hair instead of giving us new ones, and male viera were made with hair in mind, proves this was a dead-on-arrival idea. That customization? Only one set of ears actually have physics and wiggle/move around when you do (ironically it is the very stiff looking pair).

I'm still begging SE to make good on their promise that these races were limited for special exclusives. In fact, I'm asking more of SE than just letting us use MAs and hats.

Yeah, no hats, but no hairs either, so Viera just get left with... not much. They are only getting a limited selection of ported hairstyles as well, if I recall correctly. Many that they do port don't even look good in the first place, that said, I do appreciate them doing that don't get me wrong. I'd love some nice new viera racial hairs, but I get a feeling they aren't going to do them. Like that more recent interview where they stated they supposedly told us previously that viera weren't going to get any new hairs at all.

That's not really fair, SherlottaEryut has been very vocal about the need for more hairstyles/headgear for Hrothgar/Viera.

But after a while it starts to sink in that in all likelihood these races are never going to function like all the others, so too much time spent being vocal and annoyed about this is just wasted.

The main issue is whenever someone writes a complaint on the forums about the lack of Viera hairstyles and hats, it gets disregarded by other races as not being important, for instance, I started a previous forum post about the unfairness and I was essentially belittled by some players just for voicing my disappointment. Over 2 years without hairstyles or hats but me writing a formal complaint was just greeted with "There are other problems" and THIS is why there's not enough action taken. Also, if not the latter, because the topic doesn't appeal to everyone considering it's only about 1 race, it quickly gets thrown in the back and forgotten about. There is not enough of an uproar to grab SE's attention, so no, the forums are not 'full' of complaints about the lack of Viera hairstyles because it's rare I even see them.



I couldn't have said it better, thank you. Also, thank you for noticing my continuous complaints despite its probably annoying seeing me post the same things.

Yeah, I don't think it particularly matters if someone asks for them to focus on more hairstyles vs. hats or more hats vs. hairstyles (or even both). At this point they're well aware of what people want, and they either can't do it or won't devote the resources to doing it.

Viera is still my favourite playable race so if the mood strikes me or they finally decide to make an effort for these races I'll definitely play as one again, but I'm not spending another expansion getting worked up after getting ignored again every patch.

For now I've sadly given up on them and playing a race that can actually use anything and everything I've bought and earned in the game instead.
