VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Caro178]

I just used fantasia a lot so collecting all the hairs was a given, I was also still collecting hairs while on viera though. I also owned quite a few of them before viera came out as well. It is nice to get those styles, but I am still a bit disappointed at not getting more unique viera styles, because those could have looked really, really good. It would be amazing if those came out one day..

Yeah, and it's now extra complicated because giving Hrothgar and Viera new racial exclusive styles would mean they have to give every single race new exclusive styles. Eventually both Hroth and Viera will have access to all the hairstyles everybody else does anyway. When there's no discrepancy adding new styles to only 2 races would be rather unfair. Of course, some would argue Hroth/Viera are due some extra pampering, but most won't see it that way and will only see two races getting something none of the others get.

It would be amazing for every race to get as little as two new exclusive styles each, but I just don't see it happening. Hat compatibility feels like a much more realistic goal for the future.

Yeah, I'm not really seeing new exclusive stuff happening for our races. At best we'll just become like everyone else, and at worst we'll perpetually be in a state of catchup.

There's no way we'd get something "extra". They were very much willing to cut out our ears to make Hairstyles work, they reduced the amount of polygons a head had just for it. I very much doubt we'll be getting anything outside that. Perhaps far, faaaar into the future we might. But I think once hairstyles are accomodated for, they'll focus on figuring out headgear. So this is going to drag out for a long time.

Yeah, I don't see it happening either. It would be nice, but don't see it happening. We should get some since we waited over two years thinking that's what we were going to get, but c'est la vie.

Every race getting more exclusives could be nice, as being tailor made for the race, they could really make some nice thematic themes and hair that fits with their racial features. Unfortunately, exclusives in general are a fairly divisive topic; not a lot of people would be happy, for sure.

Yep, unfortunately. Hopefully once everything is caught up though, we could at least see a bump in general hairstyle releases..
