VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Allegor]

If new gear could work, then old gear would work too because it is all tied to the missing alternative hair meshes (wearing-a-hat versions) for the viera hairstyles. Who knows if this will ever happen tho.

In that case it's not a matter whether they can or not (they can), it's that they don't have the time and resources to do so, hence why the majority is at least reasonable and understands why older hats probably won't ever work, but question why newer hats - that should be taking both races into consideration - don't. I mean heck, the newest WAR and RPR hats work, but BRD and RDM, jobs iconic for their hats, don't...? que esta pasando aqui señores

Because the war and rpr hat don't show the hair (It is inconsistent tho, there are older hats in the game which also remove hair but they are locked for the new races). Any new hat which needs the alternative mesh will not work because they don't exist in the game so your hair would clip in a nasty way. If the meshes exist they don't need to change anything about the older hats except show them visible to the new races.

It's not about going back and fixing older hats or anything, but about adding something to the game which isn't there yet (the hair mesh). Of course they could design hats as "mini-hats" like the ilvl 570 ranged hat (https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...a18dc1/?patch=) which does work for the new races, but is the solution really just making every hat a mini-hat? Doubt it. It's a sad situation for both viera and hrothgar players.
