VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Midareyukki]

I did to leave a message:

"SE doesn't know how to model characters anymore"

Of course! The ones who know how to model anything were put on other projects. What we have now are people who watched Blender Guru like twice and are in charge of making stuff.

That image really befits Square's process after the Hrothgar hairstyles by the way. Except, you know, with more ears.

I'd be careful with diminishing the work and skill of the people in the art team. That's like shouting at the guy who mixes the pizza dough for your pizza order being messed up. I don't want to defend sloppy work, but considering what else the art team can come up with, this smells a lot like horrible priorities given by the higher-ups. You only have so much time and effort to work with and if your boss' boss says you should spend this on parasol poses or new housing furniture, it doesn't matter how well you are able to model a character nor how much you would rather spend your time with this instead of the next potted plant. The priorities, the designs, what time is allowed to be invested in what.. this is nothing that an artist in a studio has any influence in. They can make suggestions and give feedback to their lead artist, the lead artist can forward those suggestions and maybe structure them/filter them and give an estimate on how much time it would take. But it is not up to any of them if a thing gets made. Same goes for community managers, programmers etc. btw. They are not the ones making decisions about stuff and just saying they all collectively are bad in their area of expertise is unfair and will not tackle the actual issue.

I am quite certain that this is a problem of giving these kinds of main characters a very low priority because they don't view it as "main character thing" but as "neat little side project". If they would redirect resources to this topic, I daresay we would get amazing well-thought results, especially if they analyze all the feedback given in this forum, on twitter etc. (There have been plenty of constructive suggestions, even concept art.) So please don't waste your time and energy shifting the blame on people who are not responsible for it.

I'm only temporarily a hour, but I always play as a male Viera. I honestly think ALL HATS that have been added since the release of Viera and hrothgar SHOULD have been made accessible for them. Makes no damn sense that they haven't.

This. Please if you can and want, I'm trying to get as many people together as possible to add a protest in their signatures about the hats. So we don't need to open multiple threads about it, it will be a silent protest in every post we make.
If you don't want to create something from scratch, you can copy my signature.

I was gonna fantasia back to viera and then I remembered we are getting new gear soon where the hats wont work on her anyway....and I really want that hat. Sadge. Ive seen how the Lyse hair looks on viera and it is gorgeous so it is tempting but....no hats...

Why is it SE that the Archfiend head armor you get from PvP that is an "exclusive reward" for the new seasonal content doesn't show up on Viera, although it does on Hrothgar, and the Ktiseos dungeon version of almost the exact same helmet that is not a "special seasonal reward" does show up on Viera?! What is y'all's problem?!

Don't talk about them like that! They are doing their best! Be patient, it's such a hard job. Not that I haven't already posted here, a photo I found on twitter of a person who made this helmet work in vieras. Far from it, it's all a lie

[forsakee]

Just fantasia problem solved /s

[Adamantini]

nah, I will continue here screaming to SE.
