VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Adamantini]

"Encyclopedia Eorzea Vol. II comes with a code for Matoya's Hat glamour!"

"Which doesn't work on viera or hrothgar!"

I know we are mainly paying for the book here, but I would still like if things like this that you have to pay premium for worked on all races. And considering how huge the hat is, it shouldn't be that difficult to fit it on viera or hroths anyway. I honestly like the game and its lore, but it's getting exhausting to be constantly punished for playing a race I like the most (hrothgar). Fantasia'd to a roe with the free vial I got waaaay back in ARR, it's cool to wear hats now but my enjoyment of the game is taking a serious hit because this is not the character I love and went through the game with.

meanwhile, there are already mods to make this hat work on both races.

change my mind then.

I see a lot of this type of comment, but never an elaboration of why.

You didn't ask me but I can definitely elaborate with a few points, the two big ones being:

1) Console players don't have access to third party tools. Plenty of people play this game on PS4/PS5 (myself included) and simply cannot use mods.

2) Mods are illegal. This doesn't bother everyone but I'm quite certain there are players who actively reject using third party tools because they're a breach of TOS.

The other justifications I can think of are more subjective but relevant nonetheless:

3) Other people (without mods) can't see your mods. It really sucks when you actively use character mods and also have to deal with the fact that the game and your character don't actually look the way they look to you to everyone else. It's an mmo and looking at peoples' characters and sharing your own is fun!

4) Constantly resorting to a "guess we have to fix it ourselves" mentality will never make SE implement the changes we want to see. The changes they make are largely based on player feedback and so feedback is what they need in order to focus attention where customers feel it's needed.

5) People just want to play the game and have the features we deserve as part of the game. The whole game that everyone can experience along with us.

...

yes true. But the point everyone talks about is: if random people can do this as mods, why can't the company do this as a patch?

None of these justifications answer this point, but they justify the differences between a mod and an official patch.

We're not asking for an outfit that modder X made, or hair that person Y made, etc. What we're asking is that the new helmets (at least) fit the races they themselves developed. We ask the same for the hair that SE herself did. And it's a shame they say it's impossible, as there are already mods out there proving it's possible.
