VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Pip_Chick]

At this point, I would like them to scrap Hrothgar and implement Ronso. If they can fix Hrothgar's limitations without amputating their ears, then scrap it and make something more in line with this:

Hello everyone, I wanted to bring your attention to this. This does not confirm, nor deny that Hrothgar will need to use a fantasia to change their race-specific hairstyles. I'm trying to remain optimistic about this I'm hoping for the best for our Hrothgar players. Come around patch 6.1, if they still need a fantasia to change their haircuts then.... Well, I'll be back.

Please don't look too much into the wording for Hrothgar's patch notes section:

[Vryn]

I wish they would just do their job and keep their promises.

[Starshower]

I think it's likely that they did a poor job wording the patch notes. I believe we will be able to not only change hairstyle on the aesthetician, but also select between 16 (!) racial hairstyles with ears included (beyond the newly added earless ones).


Here is my reasoning. They said thet removed the facial feature that would add an extra bit of hair to your hairstyle, and added that to the hairstyles section. Now think... Hrothgars don't currenlty have a hairstyle section. I think in this hairstyle section they'd have the new ones but also 2 versions of each of the other face's hairstyle, one with the extra bit of hair plucked from facial features, and another without. So that makes 16 different hairstyles with ears every hroth could choose from.

Why don't I think it will be just 2 hairstyles for that face type? If the hairstyles selection (the racial one with the stuff from facial features) is happening in the hairstyle section, the face section would be just that, picking between the 4 faces. The hairstyles section would need to have the 2 variations, since you'd need to be able to change between the hairstyle with and without the added bit, meaning the face selection wouldn't have a hairstyle baked on. And what happens when you switch from face 1 to face 2, but you had the hairstyle that usually comes from face 1 selected in the hairstyles section? the face 2 would be wearing that same hairstyle as well. That's the behavior that happens when changing faces currently in the game for races that have a hairstyles section. So it would make to reason then that all 16 racial hairstyle variations would be in that section, usable in all 4 faces. And you know what races with a hairstyles section on character creation also have? A hairstyles section on the aesthetician! I think our case is closed!



Also, something of note in regards to hrothgar customization, in place of that removed facial feature, they're adding a brand new one!





The coeurl faced hroths will have an option for these scars on their forehead! I wonder what will be the new facial detail added as an option for the other 3 faces!


So in the end, don't despair, my hroth friends, from what it looks like we'll have more customization than ever, and you won't have to sacrifice your ears, if you don't like the earless hairstyles you'll have 16 options with ears that fit the hrothgar race!

copium and hopium in copious amounts today...

don't get me wrong, i WANT to be wrong, i am DESPARATE to be wrong, but they have trampled all over the trust i had in them, and the extremely vague wording of the patch notes which suggest we will STILL have to fork over money to fantasia new hairstyles has left me feeling bitter

I stand in solidarity with y'all. Stay strong.


... though get in line, I've been begging for highlander brows for years!

just teasing

[HeyMcFly]

Just keep at it everyone!
Be constructive and polite

I'll be pushing for more Unique Hrothgar & Viera features as well as features for the other races.
Please keep this thread going!
And post in the Megathread for hairstyles/ beards/ cosmetics

I'm hoping Viera can now use Y'shtola's mog station hair- it would make sense to add a paid for hair imo before other optional hairstyles. Or add them all around the same time.

[Adamantini]

They showed off new styles in the patch notes.

I'm confused. Wasn't it supposed to be this one? Or are they leaving it as a "surprise"?

Can't wait for another reply of thinly veiled infantilization.

So I won't let you down

Since they showed both I assume we're getting more than one and they're choosing to not spotlight every single one anymore.

We'll find out Tuesday which other ones we got, if any.

I hope you're right. Because I prefer the one that showed on LV, than these two others
