VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Iscah]

Is it true they ask people not to mod because they have high standards to keep?

I don't believe they've ever said anything as a reason. They just don't want people modifying their game. And it's a simpler rule to keep than picking over what isn't and isn't appropriate to mod.

Most I remember them talking about was how it produces images of the game that aren't true. Not only is this considered false advertisement in a sense (where people go "Oh wow, that person looks really cool", and turns out the game doesn't really have that. It's why the general rule is that if you're going to mod you don't take screenshots with Square's disclaimer), it could lead to the game be flagged in some countries over some NSFW art. Remember that pornography is very much illegal in some countries, and not everyone has the decency to check. Or care to know what mods are and aren't. That, and it's modification of the game files, so it's a general ToS violation.

Apart from that, it just seen as a "don't show, don't tell". Not necessarily a gray area, but they won't try to put third party software to monitor your computer files.

everyone here is dodging this weirdly.
they got mad about porn under the ffxiv hashtags on twitter. they even did a banwave once based off the igns people left on twitter which amuses me endlessly because it means someone had to scroll through hundreds if not thousands of pornographic tweets with a whole slew of it having kinks i'm certain they didn't know existed until that point.

except all it did was make people avoid putting their ign in their profile and caused people to talk about nsfw mods which ended up having the opposite effect. free advertising of mods, basically.

I put this in another thread, but I will add it here. I am sad for the Viera players on this. Every other race can equip the new glam set from the PVP event, hat and all, but not Viera. This is sad cause it makes it look incomplete without the helmet.

I'm going to take advantage of the general outcry on the forum, and the possibility that SE is reading the feedbacks right now, to remind Yoshi P that they didn't make the PvP helm usable for vieras, but apparently the hrothgars received this helm.

That makes sense. Thanks.

probably hastily converted the roe one to hroths to try and placate people and assumed vieras wouldn't care or notice.

I am quite livid about this. All they have to do is either hide the ears or have them stick out the top. This helmet is almost the same shape and style as the Ktiseos Mask of Maiming from Ktisis Hyperboreia, and that piece works on Viera. This needs to be fixed.

SE assumed wrong. One person even created a topic just to complain about this helmet. I particularly prefer to keep all posts related to this type of complaint here, since that's how we got the male viera.
