VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Akimori]

Did the Hrothgar Fantasia issue get changed at least?

I dont even remember them talking about that.....so I can assume no...maybe a yes

[HeyMcFly]

Im surprised we haven't seen that typical "you got what you asked for! So stop complaining!" Comment that is usually a miqo'te or lalafell player xD

I totally did
it was a joke though about a monkeys paw- you're damned if you do, damned if you dont type situation

For the past 3 live letters I've been pointing out amongst my friends that we've not gotten a glimpse of prototypes of hairstyles for Hrothgar hair.

Every time there's a live letter, and they mention it, there's never a picture.

This last one, right before the patch, we see the previews of Hrothgar hair, and a brief explanation of why it looks so janky. Something something ears something something.

Honestly, if this is an April Fool's joke? It's masterful.

[Adamantini]

Also yeah where are the promised unique hairstyles after 3 years? I'd LOVE to see them. (and they wonder why people find 3rd party programs to do this.

Yeah, I would love to see that too.

It is revolting even for me, a viera player. This kind of thing made me loose all the hope that one day, we will receive one hat, or the fantasia problem will be fixed for hrothgars. Well, F**** the TOS, the unique way to obtain what we want, we know. I feel sorry for PS players.

Another disappointed Hrothgar player making a acc here to add one more voice to the cause.

Hiding the ears was the most lazy and pointless thing the person responsible for these haircuts could do. The ears clipping through not only would look better aesthetic wise but also way more natural looking.

Now for the hairstyles themselves, taste is taste and everyone have their own but I wish they focused on the ones most races have in common. But I'll not gonna lie that most being emo looking hairstyles are a really bad choice imho, seems the person who were in charge of this particular project have zero knowledge and awareness about why we players who play as hrothgar prefer them as a race for our warriors of light.

- Hrothgar/Viera should have hat access without it looking like garbage, full stop
- Hrothgar shouldn't have to fantasia to change their hair, nor should the hair delete their ears.
- Should have as much access to everything else other races have. If that was never a possibility, neither should have been designed in the first place. But now that they are, the onus is on the company to actually make them on par with the others with regards to these customization options.

Minimum expectation-tier things from a AAA company with an incredibly successful MMO. Clearly a problem, a large complaint from the playerbase for years now, and it should be addressed even if solving the problem is difficult.

That's my player feedback.

[SacraAnima]

does anyone have links to a source in the past live letters where they mentioned that race specific hairstyles were coming to Hroths and Viera? I remember hearing it in a LL but I can't remember which

[Iscah]

I do recall them saying semi-recently that they were having to change some things about how Hrothgar are constructed to implement the additional hairstyles. That could be the "shifting ears from head model to hair model" thing that people are speculating here.

[PG_Animation]

Ears DO NOT hide under the hair... these new hairstyles aren't good. I appreciate that clipping might have been the issue, but clipping is NEEDED to make these styles look right. If it can be done for Viera, it can be done for Hrothgar.

If this was an April Fools joke, then fair enough. But if this was the genuine end look....it needs to be reworked I'm sorry.

(Also Fantasia-ing just to change hairstyles isn't great.)

[AmaroLeBlanc]

As a hrothgar player I got to say that I am severely disappointed. These new "hairstyles" just look lazily made and feel like the best Square is willing to do is crap on Hrothgar (and to some extend Viera) if they dare to ask for something. Certain hairstyles linked to certain faces is absolutely outrageous. Having to Fantasia to change your hair is a scam if everyone else can do it for almost free.
I really hope this is a joke or gets fixed until 6.1 or else I consider fantasiaing back to Miqo'te ... which will probably just makes Square even happier when the get more money from me ...
