New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

[Midareyukki]

I mean, of course, but I'm saying he actually acknowledged player concerns. Back in ShB Viera/hrothgar were pretty much just not talked about... at all. I remember being there with many others on here, thinking if this next update would finally be the one we'd get our new hairs, or if we'd even get an update on the situation. It wasn't really until the end of ShB that either were even really talked about again.

I'd say, if he is annoyed, it has to do with the fact that their intention was most likely to leave these races as is after launch (minimal) support, and that's the only reason they were approved and made in the first place. It likely was never in the plans to spend too much time or resources on them.

No, I understand that, I truly do. I'm just pointing out that despite his intentions, player feedback clearly rose in support for these races. He should have at least expected it, and if he didn't, then he should have told people flat-out "No" by now rather than making vacant promises. This being a dev team that prides itself on listening to feedback when it can... yeah. Also that his intentions, if those are the ones he had, are kinda stupid ._. but that I'll admit is a personal bias.

I'm honestly not sure if a lot of player feedback actually reaches Yoshida, however I question him thinking this is what players would want.. it seems quite unlikely, and that's if they came out with ears. In the state they were launching in, I wonder if he truly thought people would accept them, because anyone could look at those hairs and see how bad they looked.

I don't know how 2Hroth got rendered in that state, approved, printed, placed in his folder and shown on-camera without people telling him "You're really going for that? Do you want players to get riled up?"

If this is the extent of their feedback, then

a) The community leaders really need to step it up rather than just show up here and dump what we already know. They're the ones who sift through feedback, after all.
b) People need to realize that the dev team isn't listening as much as they insist they do. Or at least not when it matters.
c) ...yeah, how did that go with 1.0?
d) They themselves need to start listening. Samurai changes? People here are having a moment, but it's still played heavily in-game. Housing? I'm guessing they're dealing with it? But other than that one Hrothgar in this thread that came out in support for these hairstyles, I haven't seen a single Hrothgar in-game wearing them.

Guess the only other way to voice our opinion is by sending bug reports on our characters xD "Hey, this isn't working as intended, nowhere did you guys tell us we would have Limited Races for this long, and it's clear that something is up. The work here was shoddy. Please review it. Properly this time."

Edit: I'll just link to this thread comment and say "Yeah they really should just hold the L and admit that it was a dumb expectation to have. It's not the first time, I've mentioned Diadem before. So him being upset that he now has to deal with fans demanding this? As dumb as he himself thinks the demand itself is dumb."
