VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Yencat]

Yeah, I had wondered about that too, but figured it was about the event hat. We already complained about that one.

Yeah, I was just wondering because I don't think that one would particularly work as a tiny hat, the Postmoogle hat might but I don't think that ones even on their radar (if any of them are).

[Kling-Klang]

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.

The live letter is around the corner, and with Hrothgar being addressed in 6.1 I am hopeful we will get some word on workable solutions.

Perhaps they have unlinked their hair from the heads.

inb4 they don't say anything about hroths until the last 30 seconds where they blurt out "oh hroth stuff is delayed to 6.3 byyyeeee".

Don't be ridiculous.


...Towards the end is obviously reserved for going over new expensive merch.

Hrothgar are getting new Hairstyles.
It was said Hrothgar needed abit more time, so they scheduled it for 6.1. Along with ""fixes"" that ""Unlock"" the face and hair/manes.

Ive said before that the reason this happened was to create shortcuts to get everything ready and done for their Deadlines on ShB, and believed it would be fixed in the future.
Fingers crossed my Blind faith was right and rewarded lol
Be huge if we get discussion about the Females as well...but not likely lol.

Baby-steps

[Yencat]

I'll just drop the quote again of what they actually said so everyone can set their expectations accordingly;

"Through great effort, we’re making changes to the current Hrothgar system, and while I can’t say the variety will increase, it won’t be limited to 'one face pattern, one hairstyle'; instead, we’re working on having one face pattern able to support multiple hairstyles."

Hopefully there will be new hairstyle options for Hrothgar as well as a change in their character creation settings so they can change at the aesthetician, but I think it's good to remember they didn't actually commit to doing any of that.

Fingers crossed they'll be able do it though because the current system is trash.

[Raikai]

In one of the questions, I basically asked why...

If these are equippable:



Why these are not equippable as well?

[LisSquid]

Just unlocking the hair and faces for Hrothgar would be welcome. I made a joke that their "fix" was going to just let Hrothgar use hair on top of their mane (the image of a Hrothgar wearing an extra fluffy chocobutt hair keeps me up at night).

Be huge if we get discussion about the Females as well...but not likely lol.

I have no hopes, but I have been doodling more of my future femroth (markings and face on a separate layer for the inevitable edits). It would be nice to see some finalized concept art if they're already on the subject of Hrothgar. Already made my bed with them being a 7.0 thing, but any information is good information.

No Doubt, it was a jest. No way we will get anything about them till closer to 7.0
But even so Im just trying to keep my optimism alive for the Hrothgar. I love th3em, and wanna see them expanded, and Improved.
