VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Kelev]

Also, as a bit of a side note, thank you for providing the most common not-so-helpful replies. I hate seeing these when we’re dealing with a video game. Something like “LUL, you knew this going in” - well, no we didn’t. We were told “more slowly than other races” not “you will forever have to dye your mane even on your class armor because the clipping is so bad, even the Gunbreaker trainer’s mane sticks out.” That’s not a “you’re whiny” thing - that’s just poor quality control.

Not my comment, but I’ll reply; right now, login/capacity and gameplay balance.

Yes, that’s a priority… but the character development/design team aren’t the ones who deal with those issues.

Also, no problem! Sometimes answering the same question can be draining so I figured I’d quickly pop in an FAQ after the main post

I'm glad I like more of the guy Viera hairstyles than the gals, but the option set is still pretty abysmal. I'm also glad we have actually gotten new styles at all, even though they're styles I personally probably won't be using. The ponytail is one of my favorite styles in the game but it just doesn't look good on Viera.

But yeah. Signed for hoping they give us some kind of love soon. I love this game and I love Viera, but limitations built into them are still pretty disappointing on the whole.

I really do think Hrothgar and Viera are a low priority because the community keeps requesting SE work on other things. Hrothgar paying £5 to change a haircut should have been nipped in the bud within the first year of release, that's something I consider that a high priority. But instead the public wanted SE to get rid of the gender locked races. The purpose of this thread was also to shed some light on the situation, how not fixing these issues is extortionate - imagine just how much money they've made off these two races' limitations, it's unacceptable ignoring the players who love these races. The developer's need to release their future plans for Viera at least considering we don't know the extent of Hrothgar's update in 6.1, but now we have both Viera genders who share the same limitations.

That too. I didn't want male viera to be released when they did. I thought it was too early considering the amount of limitations still in place. People bombarded SE to release male viera though, and I'm sure they made quite a bit off fantasia sales for doing so. I wanted female viera hairs badly, well I still want female viera hairs badly.. It was really disheartening to hear last year, that they were just then looking at implementation. Now they have to support both male viera, and soon female hrothgar, and frankly female hrothgar I doubt will even be that popular, but we will see.

Upon completion:



Are they, Square? Are those "Options" for me?



Certainly was.

Year of the Tiger, and no one thought "Hey, we have Hrothgar now..."

I did think it was definitely a missed opportunity to not have at least a line or two of special dialogue for Hrothgar for a Year of the Tiger event. But, hopefully, this will be the Year of the Hrothgar! Better/more customization, etc. as well as females, for those who have been waiting.

I did the event but I didnt even pay attention to the cutscenes (skipped) and I just did them for completion. Because, what was the point (as viera) since I cant even try them on. Being on Au Ra now there is so much freedom when you want to do glams. Doesn't matter if a chestpiece has a high collar because there are so many short or semishort hairstyles to pick from, while I as viera was forced into 3 of them unless I wanted to clip the hairs. Sure the horns clip a bit here and there but at least I can wear the headpiece.
They should just let vieras have the option to let ears clip or remove them, and then the coming headpieces can just be adjusted.

I've definitely been seeing more and more people switch back off viera again. I think many switched because of the hairstyle update, but, yeah, obviously it is not enough yet. There just isn't enough variety in hairs, and the quality is really iffy on many. I am a bit concerned with how further ported hairs will look.
