New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

No they are not, stop complaining. Just because the hairstyle doesn't suit your tastes doesn't mean they're bad.

Look me in the eyes and tell me the 2B style on a Hrothgar isn't a crime against style

ma'am the 2b headstyle deforms hrothgar heads and makes them look like they have hydrocephalus.

Don't bother with them. They went into my thread too to whine LOL.

You misunderstand, I love the 9S hairstyle, would love to continuing wearing it, but Jandelaine cuts my bleedin' ears off in the process. How do you not see this as a problem? The hairstyle suits my tastes perfectly, deleting my ears does not.

Dear Icemage,

Thank you for dropping by our thread to voice your message of support. I'm certain that if when the Viera hairstyles came out, if they'd lopped off your ears making you what are basically Hyur with Barbie feet you would've been OK with that, but I wouldn't've, and would have said a few things on your behalf, because I thought you got screwed.

The new haircuts are bad. Not "unattractive." Not "not Hrothgar." Not "look like someone tried to cover up my encephalopathy with a bathmat."

They are, in fact, all those, but they're bad for other reasons.

1) We're told "you have to imagine the ears." Ears are part of who we are, just like your rabbit ears are part of what make you Viera. Would this even be a discussion if the Viera lost their ears? Seriously?

2) I don't know what "lore" you mean. The lore of Hrothgar - and I think "lore reasons" is right up there with "it's company policy" in terms of lame excuses when someone doesn't want to do work - is that the Hrothgar came down from Ilsabard and started integrating customs in order to act as merchants. Haircuts are customs, so you may be mean, but that doesn't mean you can't be incorrect too!

3) The pictures were so bad some of us thought it was an April Fools Day joke. We've received one message from Tony "Zhexos" Caraway, our Community Representative before he vanished into thin air, and didn't want to respond any more. Or wasn't allowed to. Or wants to respond, but is pinned under something very heavy. I don't know, there's zero transparency.

4) We were told, explicitly "I'm really torn, why don't you give us your feedback on the forums." Now while you are important, and you do pay my sub, I'm gonna put my feedback here, in the forums, like I was instructed to. If you want to start a really whiny thread on the main page how everyone who has feedback is a whiner, then be my guest. In fact, you already have. That said, would you prefer that after years I find another place to complain, or that I start liking the haircuts for the whimsical tributes to Zika Virus they are?

5) I've been patient, and when I hear Square say things like "Remember the fans" and "no expense spared," I don't know how they do it on your home-planet, Cranky Space Lady, but around here those words don't translate to "Quit Whining You Non-Contributing Zero."

When the community response was largely negative they said "clipping," "you have to imagine ears," and "this is hard "

So, Icemage, thank you for dropping by to tell us how we should behave. How about in the meantime, you fanta to Hyur, pretend your ears are in your hair, and imagine you're still Viera. You'll get to use all of the hairstyles and headgear in the game!

No? The ears are part of what make Viera who they are? Huh.

Love,
Kel
