VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Pip_Chick]

Okay, rewatching the Graphic update made me pause, please tell me I am not the only one who noticed this, like what did they do to the bun boys eyes? One is bulging out of their skull while the other one has sunken in.

Two new dye channels, Multiple graphics updates. New glasses AND hats....yet viera and hrothgar still cant use hats.....

[kyyninen_kirahvi]

I wonder if the glasses are the "headgear solution". I certanly hope not but let's just see. Conceptually nice and useful for all, but not a solution for missing hats.

Crazy theory, but they might separate the Hrothgar clans into Bozjan natives and Tural natives. The Bozjan natives keep their Hunch, but the Tural natives stand straight. I say that because I saw the one standing straight behind Alisae, but there was also a hunched one in the background.

They're still going to be the same character models using the same animations.

Trailer animators can make mistakes on getting details right, especially for a background character.

Improved graphics with improved shadows! Won't it be great?

No, that looks like exactly what I've been fearing all along. It's already hard enough to get faces nicely lit in Gpose; now every detail of the face casts a shadow.

I don't think I have seen any new Hairstyles for Hrothgar or Viera in this new Live Letter. But they seem to be on track with adding them, so I am not too worried.
Though if they do add them, what would be your wish?
I know Hrothgar will get the hairs Viera got in 6.3, I think. But what would Viera players wish to get?
My top picks would be:
-Form and Function
-Y'Shtola/Thancred's hair
-The Gyr Abaian plait
and
-Lexen Tail's

Have they announced any before the previous patches, or just dropped them in with a mention in the patch notes? I don't remember.

They usually show like 2 of them in the LL itself, and then an image in the prepatches.

They usually don't even get a mention in the patch notes. They'll say "hairstyles" and show screenshots of a couple, but the rest are just slipped in and you have to figure out what else has appeared in the list of equippable hairstyles.

My gut tells me that at least one (or two) of these will be released in 6.3.

I collected most of them, just in case.

For those who asked it is not unusual to not get a preview of any of the Viera hairstyles pre patch notes. They have given us a sneak peak in the alliance raid glamours before, but there was no female Viera among the selected races this time so no hairstyle. We do have a preview of a new universal Hrothgar hair. It's one of the expected styles and a solid indication Hroths are getting the 6 6.3 Viera styles this patch. Also featured should be Styled For Hire, Saintly Style and Adventure on the MA side of things.



Once again hoping for Gyr Abanian Plait, Form and Function and Minfilia's style. We'll see two styles previewed in the patch notes and the remaining 4 won't be known until folks check in with Jandelaine. Adding that they've broken the release order pattern they established with the universal hairstyles a few times the last couple patches so I really have no clue what 3 styles they might add. They could go back and fill in those gaps or keep skipping ahead.
