why we dont get more crazy and out there hairs?

What they need to give up on is the pretense that clipping was ever something they really cared about in the first place.

Clipping is the reason this game can run on a potato. A very important aspect to have as it makes the game accessible for almost everyone. Collisions will make the game a lot heavier. And checking each piece to avoid clipping is a lot of work (and essentialy impossible to fully fix).

But what i would like is the option for most gear to use use physics engines in which collisions are able to move the clothing. And hair can collide. It might need a lot more work per piece to make this (although for newer pieces this might become part of the standard workflow), but its something i would be willing to pay for to have. And as side effect this can also do a few more subtle details, as for example in windy areas, its very clear robes always just use the same animation. With proper physics you can make this more dynamic (and since it still only needs to rely on client side data, it would increase server load at all).

The only downside with collisions and physics is that sometimes the gear might get some very strange angles (especialy when classes have fast and extreme movements), which then still needs clipping to happen in order to return it to the normal location.

The majority of this game's hairstyles are ugly and out there. You can choose whatever

Did I asked for ugly? I like more punk/anime crazy hairs

Literally almost everyone in this thread has an anime hairstyle. There are plenty in the game

[Raoabolic]

lets hope we all be dead before this then

Excuse me, they are EXPRESSING themselves! :^)

I wouldn't call this an anime hairstyle. This is what I used irl for two years. lmao

you dont know what is an anime hair then lol
lets say some thing like the au ra hairs

[Denji]

they can't even be arsed to do viera and hrothgar hair correctly

sadly ye. it starting to be one more neglected part of the game. the character customization part. thing is they dont even need to make new hairs just start open for all the race hairs.

If they implemented Nvidias Hairworks , or AMDs Tress FX the game would run terribly having to render random amounts of players on screen at any time . At best they would have to limit the feature to be visible/enabled just for the player character only and even then it wouldn't stop clipping as hair physics is still limited to looking more like individual strands and not randomly flowing over random armour designs .

That level of physics would be taxing enough in a single player game designed around a limited hair style and character outfit ( take AMDs tress FX and Tomb raider for example), and an almost impossible task for a game of this age to feature despite the massive performance hit it would cause
