VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Allegor]

We only have it in our starter gear xD Which is so jarring and LAZY! "Here guys, have some wrist cuffs. By the way, your claws are just press-on nails tied to a piece of fabric."

I'm still salty they couldn't do even that, but I suspect it has something to do with not wanting to retroactively add claws to every glove/shoes that exposes the fingers - probably why Au Ra don't have scalier limbs either, as opposed to their concept art.

If they do get rid of the hunch I hope they make it an option you can toggle on and off. The main tank in my endgame static is a Hrothgar main, and he loves the slouch. He even tried downloading the *cough* thing that changes the posture, and he hated it so much he was complaining for an hour and left just to change it mid raid. There are Hrothgar players who like the posture and would rather not have the same humanoid posture as all the other races. Knowing how much he disliked it I would really hope for a solution that keeps both parties happy rather than swapping from one thing some people don't like to another thing other people won't like.

The way they did this for Orcs on WoW back when Warlords of Draenor released is that they just added a new posture option in the CC and on their equivalent of the aesthetician. Having more choice is just better in my opinion, even if one of the choices are unpopular. Adding a new posture would mean adding a lot of animations though (unless they just paste in the Roegadyn animations). I also agree on the fact that the slouch looks weird sometimes because the animations are inconsistent with each other. No weapon drawn out? Slouchy as usual. But the instant you get your magic wand out? Boom your scoliosis is (temporarily) fixed.

While I understand that altering all glove models to have claws would be a very expensive task, I don't understand why you don't have claws when your character is bare-handed. I guess you can fix that using the claw-gloves glam thing at the Gold Saucer, but eh, it's still kinda weird. Perhaps they didn't want Runar to look too agressive or monster-like when he was lugging Y'shtola around like a big bag of flour.

On a completely unrelated note, I'd really like SE to make the hrothgar-specific hairstyles not tied to a face shape anymore. There are some hairstyles from other face shapes that I'd really like to see on my character, but can't because I don't have said head shape lol.

Similarly, I'd like to have painted nails on pretty much every single glamour that shows fingernails, now that would be a dream. SE make it happen: hrothgar their claws, and my painted nails! Also pedicures, but you need to give us actual toes first, make it happen!

I was just about to say the last part, about fixing our block feet. Hopefully, with the graphics update, we'll be able to get polished nails, or at least open-toed shoes with that option.

Having the perfect heels, or sandals, with painted toe nails.. YES.



Viera and hrothgar complaint thread, let's see... imagine viera heels being a thing! Not the whole leg, but just the heels! Now imagine viera had painted toenails and finger nails.

Excuse me, I am running on no sleep at this point, and am in a glam mood.

I'm still holding onto hope that we get more heels. There's only so many times I can use the Bonewicca or Viera starter heels. They're nice, but something that coulld go with more/different glamours would be nice. Variety is key!

You're all good. A glam mood is a good mood.

As much as I think the Viera from Tactics look weird as hell with their flesh coloured ears (are they made of skin? Are they furless? Do you think they feel like Sphinx cat peach fuzz??) they have some interesting heels that show off their claws.



I think everybody needs more heeled boots. Heels look so incredibly good on Viera, too. We were lucky to get the Summer Sunset platforms this summer which fit Viera perfectly. I basically swap back and forth between the Viera sandals, the Summer Sunset platforms, the Frontier pumps, the Deepshadow healer/caster grieves with a few flat shoes mixed in here and there.

I've gone the opposite direction for my male Viera – the common factor for both genders' starter gear is clawed toes, so I've been looking for all the variants of that. It seems to be 99% knee-length boots and he is in need of sandals.

I also really want new versions of the Sky Pirate fending boots that keep the metal colour when dyed, in gold, silver and black metal. Right now both all-class versions do the same thing of making the metal a darker version of the dye colour.

Oh, I should have specified this was for my female Viera. On my male I only wear various sandals or the short combat boots from Paradigm's Breach. I'm not fond of the male Viera racial clawed shoes. Island Sanctuary just updated with a wonderful batch of gorgeous sandals and I've been feasting.
