VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Iscah]

Even this upclose they are pretty tiny and forgettable

The only time they are noticed are closeup face screenshots

Maybe, but we still do see close-up face screenshots during the story, and I can spend a remarkable amount of time just admiring how pretty my characters look. I still feel like it's important to have that extra bit of colour – particularly the ones where there's just small amounts of a particular colour scattered across the various pieces of the outfit and you can add one more spot of it.

I also need to get some more flashy earrings like the Edencall/Manalis feather earring.

I mean... not saying you're wrong in your complaints, but it's not like they hide the fact that the gear isn't equippable by Hroth/Viera.

yes but if someone who plays those races buys the set, theyre charged the same price, to get less out of their purchase. So its totally unfair to those customers bc they do nothing to solve this for 3.5 years

The question isn't whether it's labeled, the question is why almost 4 years into these races existing in-game are they still making items that they can't use? They have had plenty of time to figure out how to make things work for all of the races, and saying it's 2.0 spaghetti code, ps4 limitations, or whatever else is growing thin.
What are we supposed to do even if it is communicated? Drop more money on top of our subscription for a Fantasia just to not be stuck on a half finished race? Make an alt and grind for 500+ hours to get another character to where our main character is?
There's a warning but even with a warning, people have no recourse against it other than voicing their displeasure with the developers about it. Which, is the exact point of this thread.

I'm just saying that a lot of people are really framing this as if they're being misled, when that isn't the case.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Nobody is really surprised about it. Just annoyed. We expect it by now, but that doesn't mean that's how it should be.

[Allegor]

The original idea was Hrothgar and Viera would get unique hairstyles as compromise for the lack of hats, and since they went back on that idea and we've started getting the universal hairstyles like everybody else, the hat limitation has become redundant, so....yeah, they kinda have to rethink what to do, because even if it was an intentional design choice at first, it's literally just an excuse now.

Im starting to get really really impatient due to lack of helms…I understand the reason they can’t give us helms is because of the fluffy hairs underneath and head shape but come on…even new releases? Make the hair under the caps straight or short like they do with some hairstyles on miqos for example…Its been three years and I love Viera I love their lore and how they look, I doubt Ill ever be happy enough with another race but the inability to wear helms, hats and veils is bothering me a lot at this point because I did believe come on…by the second year things should get better right?

I don’t want to sound ungrateful because we did receive extra hairstyles but honestly most of the hairs dont quite fit us…super short hair on long ears looks awfully unbalanced…can they at least let us have helms with the graphical update or something…

Because we're quickly approaching that time of the year again here are the hairstyles I've narrowed down as most likely to be included in the next base game style update for male and female Viera. There is a new question floating in the air this time involving whether or not SE will completely skip the two styles they excluded in last patch (curly hair without fringe on females and short v-cut bangs on male.) If they do skip them chances are they will never be added to this race, which is fine in my opinion because they have a lot of styles to accommodate and these two were already very similar to other styles added in the same patch. If they do skip then we are likely to be getting three of these in 6.4. They are all unisex base game styles:



As for Modern Aesthetics there's no real pattern so we just have to wait and see. Hoping for Gyr Abanian Plait and Minfilia's style.

Hrothgar on the other hand should get all of the 6.2 male Viera styles including Great Lengths and Early To Rise, as well as a few short styles that should suit them a bit better.

Im hoping a lot for gyr abanian plait and form and function

In that case guys here's a photoshopped image of what it would look like if Viera had form and function. This is the potential, this is what we need.
