New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

I suspect it's an April Fools joke.

I wonder what the reaction will be when people load up the game and see those horrid things actually implemented as-is.

I would be more terrified if I boot up the game and all Hrothgars lost their ears. I know it's not likely but still.

It's such a shame too because I love the ponytail and many people like the Snow hair. So near yet so, SO far.

Not an April Fools joke. They wouldn't let this carry on until release. What you see is what you're going to get. Now will they decide to not release them at this point probably not. Question is will they make changes to the new hairs later down the road.

While I don't want to get hopes up, it seems the 6.1 site update lacks any mention of the Hrothgar hair shown off in the live letter. I checked the past patch sites to be sure, which all list any new hairstyles as features, usually next to the emotes. If it were to be released as planned, isn't it strange that they were not mentioned at all?

I hope you are right.
The best-case scenario: they saw the backlash from the community and spent this time fixing them. They were ashamed of what they showed in the LL and are working on a more presentable set (even if it's the same hairstyles they showed, but now fitted properly on the models and with the ears showing).

Worst case scenario: They didn't show it to try and avoid the subject in the hopes people would forget. That would also be why on their Twitter page if you say something about it your comment will be put in the "this may contain offensive language" tab. Aka not everyone would see it so it won't garner any attention.

Most probably scenario: They saw the feedback and let the ears clip through the hair. Or not add the hairstyles at all.

technically these are all pre-existing hairstyles being ported over to hrothgar

I don't dislike the hair choices per se but they look goofy as heck without the ears give our ears back and would look fine barring just not liking that style in general this is for sure one of the few times I'm on the band wagon

this is honestly what has stressed me out the most. I really don't wanna log in on the 12th and find my Hrothgar missing his ears

Noticed the new patch site update doesn't have any mention of the hairstyles when previous iterations all did.

Wonder if this means they know just how upset the community is?
