New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

[Nekuroi]

Wouldn't they announce or show off they did that though? They would still have to fit each hair to each face?

It's more because if it was racial-specific hair it would be okay to be less, but we're getting common-hair in a poor way y'know? The racial one would be MADE for us, while this is just slapping and removing ears

[SacraAnima]

What bothers me a lot is that the dev team's lack of clear communication has made it hard to really speak up effectively against the quality of these implementations. They stayed radio silent while all of the forums exploded with opposition. They said nothing while half of the player base were convinced it was still an April Fools joke, and now they have vague patch notes that don't clarify if we'll need a Fantasia so now another half of the community thinks it's poor wording, meaning that we won't know for sure until it's already in the damn game

I think the part that upsets me the most right now, is that not only do our ears get cut off, not only do we need a fantasia still (apparently, anyway. It's really hard to tell and I'd love some clarification from a developer about it), and not only are these hairstyles just very strange to be putting on a beast race... but they said they're moving hair-related facial features into the hairstyle section. Some people have taken that to mean the "hairstyle" section will be available in the aesthetician now, but like... will it? I take my braids off of my Hrothgar and put them back on all the time. Am I going to have to pay real money to do that now?

Honestly, I didn't really care one way or another about the hair for my character. I like how he looks. But I was excited to see other players being able to differentiate themselves. If we need to fantasia change still though, AND they're locking parts we've always been able to edit for free, behind a paywall now, I just.... this will be the most upset I've ever been at SE. There's little things here and there that make me go "Oh, that's weird, but I can live with it." Not this.

if this is indeed what's happening, that will be the final nail in the coffin for me. I'll switch to Hyur and never look back.

Not going to read through 61 pages but... has anyone else questioned why Hrothgar can't just wear all hats and have the ears hidden, considering we now have it for hairstyles?

Because cutting corners with Hrothgar development is basically a core part of Hroth identity at this point. But you know, smol indie company and all.

Every other piece of gear shares the same model as the Roegadyn except for headpieces which need to be fit specifically to Hrothgar.

[Seafishie]

The devs clearly don't have the time or resources to give us proper racial hairstyles. They're hastily working on much more important features, like parasol poses. Please understand.

I love my character, I've built a story around him. But the thing is...this feels like a lot of low blows. Not only have I had to pay to give him minor changes that other characters can go to the hairstylist for, Ive waited..and waited for promised changes and now this. Im being told by my FC to wait and see, that the writing is 'vague at best' and the options are all going to be changeable at the hairstylist. I dont believe a word they are saying. Cutting the ears out of the new styles was laughable and sad. They clearly dont care about the hrothgar. It would be better at this point to just delete the race. You dont like them, admit it. You spent so much time fine tuning the veira and making them look nice and fancy and we get what, little tid bits and should be happy with it? Hell no. Im tempted to either fantasia to something else(though this would ruin years of story behind my character and truthfully I just..ugh) or just..stop. It hurts to play a game when no one wants you to play.

I told you guys this wasn't an April fools joke. :c

Yes, a few words that would clear major points up, would already help. Especially about the Fantasia. Currently people are outraged not just because of the new hairstyles, but also about the things that they don't know. And I'd personally rather like to know what I exactly I am angry or worried about, apart from "ears are important, gimme ears" of course. I asked on Twitter below the tweet about the patch notes for a bit of clarification. But I doubt I'll get a reply, not because the social media team is mean but because it's likely they also don't know. They are not the devs after all, and I suppose it is already week-end in Japan.

I'm afraid we just have to wait and see how it will be on Tuesday, and what the devs might say in the patch note reading. I just hope people don't start outright harassing the devs - or the mods and social media team for that matter. I understand the frustration (as I've stated plenty in this thread), but bullying them won't change anything this close to patch release.

I personally wont harass anyone, It wont get you anywhere. While a reply from a dev would be nice, at this point, with the hairstyles and ear chopping already in the games code-what is it going to get us?
