6.2 Hrothgar Update

[Kazhar]

No, there other faces to choose from, but, from what I've seen, most hrothgars just use the same face.

It's true that the Magnus face is by far the most popular one, but I've seen quite a bit of the Runar face too. (The Kimahri face is basically non existant.) I don't think Hrothgar are that much worse than other races in that department (femroe only ever use one face after all. Even NPCs). Locked hairstyles makes it more noticeable though.

I see a Good number of Khimari face in my Server, its the Courel Face thats super rare for me.

It's the whiskers thing, it's kind of...meh? Not to mention the hair on it isn't that good.

Honestly I like the hair, even the overall head and shape...just the Whiskers are what I find difficult.
Ive seen some good twitter Gposes with it and even Rostik & Bajsaljen looks good, but its just not MY style. And its not surprising it doesn't resonate with many others.

That requires a Fantasia to change your face to try the handful of hairstyles available on that face.

[ReynTime]

Cats with meat whiskers and spikes for eyebrows have very niche aesthetic appeal. Khimari after being abused by Mario Party's Face Lift too.

That's why the majority of Hrothgar use the same two faces.

You could always use that fantasia to change to miqo'te and join the fight for ear and tail rights!

I'd sooner Unsub.

I play hrothgar because I enjoy being a big lion man. It's not our fault that the Devs only managed to make one or two good faces for a race. The Kimahri face got bonked with a hammer to fit in the 'new' garbage hairstyles and the Coeurl face is underutilized because it's a niche aesthetic.

That and y'know, the base hairstyles being a Manbun and a discount Mullet... It's not exactly what one thinks when they think 'Lion Man'.


Plus... Again...


I don't want to be a catboy. You can like what you want. But I don't wanna be a catboy.

[Karowolus]

And the whole 'people use the same face anyway'...

You see that on almost EVERY race. Just like how many people use the same voice. Or the same hairstyle. Wear similar glams and enjoy similar weapons.

People who have similar interests tend to represent themselves in similar ways. It's not a sign of unoriginality.

In fact, It should serve to show how poorly done hrothgar assets are.
Almost every Viera hairstyle is used.. But a majority of hrothgar use the Magnus face or the Runar face. Usually with the same hairstyles on both. Unlike every other race, we have the most limited customization options when we're locked into hairstyles from the faces that we chose.

And also the hairs tied to the faces. The two faces every Hrothgar uses have the best hair choices. If the hair was not attached to the faces you choose, you'd see a lot more of the other kinds of faces.

I'm just waiting on female hrothy coming next expansion! Been wanting them since hrothgar race was announced and was gutted they were male only. Hopefully after the debacle with the males they will design the females to avoid these issues.
