If you're going to give us nothing but hats for an event, at least make them work.

I can get your point on other events but Heavensturn is ALWAYS ugly ass helmets that hardly anyone wears except for niche situations.

Oh I just love how blunt and to the point you are and saved me a lot of energy not saying it myself.

Eh they were just like "If you're going to give us hats" and I wanted it to be clear this particular event is *always* hats that gather dust in our Armoires.

I do agree on the point about other events where the reward is specifically made a hat when it could be something else, though.

[Lunalepsy]

Completely unacceptable to have hats as an event reward that a fourth of the playerbase can't even wear.

Speaking about Heavensturn. This is stupid. Modders have figured this out, and you clearly have to since there are hats that work in endwalker that cover most of a hrothgar/viera's head. Stop being lazy.

Hear, hear!

[MsQi]

I, uh, don't think Viera and Hrothgar account for 1/4 of the playerbase...

I'm not saying OP is right, but I can't trust XIVCensus in general since it currently only shows about 6.1 million total characters, and their criteria for "active" is questionable.

Besides that, OP obviously meant a fourth of the playable races. The Playerbase loves to insert the word "playerbase" to make their statement seem significant without considering what they are actually saying by doing so.

I mean he is right that those hats, being the primary reward for this event for several years should be usable by everyone.

Well i am 1 of those new players and i must say that character customisation was one of the features i looked forward to when starting to play ff14. I did made a Viera female cause i found they looked awesome but i became really sad once i noticed the severe limitations. It gets kind of boring switching between the like 4 pieces of headwear i gathered so far i can wear. To make matters worse some potential headgear like the Royal crown for ex. are job specific, so i can wear it as a sch but not as a sum !? Found the logic in that aspect much better in WoW were as a clothie you could mog all cloth, plate all plate etc ... As a compensation for the lack of hairstyles/hats i don't see why the devs won't make a special vendor were we could get all kinds of usable headwear instead of adapting the old content ones or something. But seeing how this issue is not getting fixed even in the future i am really starting to consider using 1 of the 2 fantasias i gathered while questing to change to a Miqo'te or a human. I would miss my Viera but at least i would have solved a problem that isn't getting solved

*Runs in with my Sam glamour'd with a Heavensturn helmet*
Aww right! who's ready to-
Oh.
*unequips head piece*
*abandons instance*

I can understand not wanting to take up dev resources to fix all the old helmets to work on viera and hrothgar but I'll never understand why they don't make all the helmets that they created after ShB work with them. They took the time to make some work but not all of them?

One can hope that when female Hroths and potentially fixing hair for males it will give them time to start to address some of the headgear. They aren't going to do all of it understandably but new ones or iconic ones from the past should get some attention.
