VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Allegor]

Probably too much work.

Sadly, that's the likely reason, considering even adjusting the ears was too much. Guess that means the definite farewell to my hopes of one day getting that undercut tail :C




I'd like to think Hroths would be able to use that new short hairstyle at least, just like they could use the island ponytails like everybody else. Yeah, it looked silly on a Hyur because of the forehead but it may look good on a Hroth, only time will tell.

Which is too bad, cause personally, I would have liked to get more personalised options of hairstyles for these races. But then again, I would like to be able to use all Hrothgar hairstyles regardless of the face that I am using. At the moment each face comes with 5, but realistically 3 hairstyles cause the other 2 are the normal ones with the addition of braids... :/

Honestly, I can't wait to see if Hrothgar get anything in 6.3, since they didn't show anything am staying pessimistic. And if they do, how would they look.
What Hairstyles are supposed to come next? The ones Viera got in 6.1 or 6.2?

we dunno bc the new alliance gear hroth used a race style whereas the male viera used a "new" style that'll be available to viera. People ASSUME we're just getting 6.1 (based on nothing) but we SHOULD get 6.1 and 6.2 because being 2 patches behind hyur with silly ears no.7 is just an embarrassment to the design team.

Rejected for looking like a miqo? Wat. Then why even bother porting multi-race hairstyles to hroth? What, did the 2B hair not make us look too "middle-aged hyur female named Karen"? That's such a weird excuse oh my word.

Edit: Re-reading the post I replied to, I realized I'm not sure if they're referring to the hairstyles or just the overall appearance, so... /shrug

I actually really like this except the hipster bun in the first picture

Either way, I fail to see where the Miqo'te lies...

...are they blind or am I blinder than I think I am?

iirc they're talking about the heads not the hair

The "miqo" head was likely rejected for looking more like a house cat than a big cat- huge eyes, a tiny nose, a flat mouth (instead of a muzzle) and pink triangle ears aren't liony at all.

Half the stuff we have aren't leonine at all. Coeurl whiskers and horns, for example. Yet we allow for that. Cat-like stuff should be embraced if what we're going is generic Panthera.

It might have escaped their notice, but Panthera are felids. Many big cats look like house cats in the muzzle.

Meanwhile Miqo'te look nothing but humanoids with animal ears and that's it.

Fishing cats
African golden cat
African wild cat
Andean mountain cat
Black-footed cat
Sometimes clouded leopard (our female at work looks more like a housecat than the male)
Caracal

List goes on, I'm not gonna keep listing them.

They wanted hroths to quickly identifiable as big cat inspired, with lions being the starting point. Of our 4 heads, 2 are clearly lion inspired, 1 is Coeurl inspired (coeurls are a big cat in universe), and the last is Ronso inspired. The miqote comment is tongue in cheek. That head was likely rejected for looking like a kitty, nothing deeper ^^;

I kinda just assumed it was because of the ears, since they were considerably pointier and closer to a Miqo'te's. Anyways, my comment was more about the hair than the rejected faces lol 3 of those hairstyles were recycled into the ones we currently have, except for the undercut tail, which is the one I liked the most :C
