VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Adamantini]

Id almost rather them work on making hats work instead of getting new hairs. The runar style is fine I haaaaate 98% of a gearslot not working especially if its gear I pay extra for.

some Gears just look incomplete without the hat. There is nothing that takes away the feeling that something there is not right. An example is PvP gear.

Yeah if nothing else it would be great to have the iconic hats working like BLM, WAR, RDM, AST, and BRD. Dungeon gear less so if I have to pick, but not being able to wear the iconic headgear for jobs is pretty bad when the sets are designed around it

What I've heard is that Viera unique hairstyles have no "Hat-versions", like when your hair suddenly loses a few elements to accomodate a hat.

If they get to fix that (and if that's really one of the big issues), then it would open to way more than just a few iconic hats.

Other than that there's also the clipping that may happen with some vertical hats, since Viera ears are so centered on top of the head. How to fix this? I don't know, I'm not a scientist... but maybe, since the ears are rigged, they could tilt the shapes a bit sideways?

the quickest solution would be for them to buy the mods that came out. There is one of such quality that even the holes, to pass the ears, were made. This mod accommodates all types of ears, on different helmets (and the author is looking to make all helmets work), even having already made helmets that I thought were impossible, like Amon's hat or top hats. All this without clipping anything, and even making models of ear pockets for helmets that would look weird just having a furry ear on top. You can find a lot of screenshots of this mod in Twitter.

But we know that may never happen, so they have to sit their asses in the chair and work. The excuse that it is impossible is no longer valid, from the moment that mods started to appear.

I'd love to see a visual solution to the Neo Ishgardian Tophat... that would not be shrinking it to a Lalafell size, like they do with other small hats, that end up being fascinators and tilted nearly to the forehead. The tophat's design sits exactly where the ears are, and making holes, or just letting the ears clip through it would make it really weird, because the hat is already tall, but not too tall to have the ears hidden inside. It's funny because it's an item that does not change anybody's hair when worn due to its size, thus it already clips with many hairstyles, some horribly.

I'm searching if someone had a screenshot with this hat. If I found something, I will post here for you

k, after looking for a while on the internet and not finding anything, I decided to ask my friends on discord for something and... here it is

The angle is flattening to the picture, tho... I can't see a lot but it seems that the ear is clipping through the hat's brim, not even a hole would be able to fix that.

I mean, I'm saying this because this is my favorite hat in the game (pls SE unlimit the glamour system so I can use it as a healer too!) and I'm really bothered by clipping to the point that my own hairstyle is this short one to avoid any whatsoever.

In the end of the day, if the clipping isn't atrocious it's better than not having it available. After all not having it available is already the status quo.

Googling Viera and hats made me find this nice artwork:



Kind of a point that most, if not all, pointy wizard hats could work even with ears hidden.
