VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Araxes]

Just here to add that female Hrothgar have WAY to few Hairstyle choices and that they are AGAIN locked to Faces. This already was a mistake on the Male Hrothgar but doing it again on the Females shows that they did not listen to this very valid criticism.

It's not that they didn't learn or made the same mistake. They do listen it's just that they didn't want to fix the male Hrothgar's racial hairstyles yet, so they limited both genders.
While making female Hrothgar they knew if they didn't limit their racial hairstyles, it could be used on them like. "Why are the female Hrothgar not locked but the males still are?"

So, by logic it's better to purposely repeat the problem so both are equal and unhappy. Odds are come launch the missing default and unlockable hairstyles will still be missing and we will get one or more over multiple post-game patches.
Then after who knows how long they will finally get around to fixing the racial hairstyles for male Hrothgar. Female Hrothgar are probably prebuilt with the face lock problem fixed. (Sorry this hairstyle thing left me as a jaded conspiracy theorist.)

(To forum mods who may read this.) Despite the salt I'm still over the moon happy that I'm getting to play as a female Hrothgar. Doing the unfinished Bozja questline back in SHB really made me want to play as one.
It's just this hairstyle thing has always bugged me, and the more time passes the worse that feeling gets.

I still like to believe the reason Hrothgals only have access to their racial hairstyles in the benchmark is because they're still in development, or else they'd be severely behind everybody else, even their male counterpart (who are already 2 patches behind Viera). The fact they can use Meteor's new bun at least is a sign that they aren't 'locked' to only racial hairstyles like male Hroths originally were.

Since we're never getting hats I can totally see them slowly releasing the other haristyles slowly, a few per-patch, to give the illusion of progress on their newest limited-race, even though they could probably be implemented immediately.

People are still playing beta version races? Insane that you would torture yourself so. Then again, if you don't care about glamour it's fine I guess

Hey now, you can glam PRETTY WELL on a Hrothgar, it's just the hair selection sucks, but most gear looks great on them honestly, though a little stretched sometimes since their chest is oddly wide.

I have a Hrothgar, but I love a good beefy, manly, male body and will always roll a beefy dude it each and every game I am able. And idc about the hats since they will never wear much anyway. I would prefer they weren't cats but you can't have it all and come in shades closer to actual flesh tones which is still better than the green or red shades that roe come in.

The one thing WoW and GW2 have over FFXIV is the ability to have a beefy, bearded human characters.

Vieras for me just fit what I like: Tall, non-human, somewhat athletic and beautiful (if you make them that way). I do love au ras and if au ras were tall as vieras I would probably play them instead, which ofc would have the horns clipping through alot of hats anyway lol.

I care about glamour, it just that no amount of not having hats is going to matter unless the glasses change includes existing eyewear because I specifically use the glasses I use because I like how they look on my character's face, and I can't bet on it working the way that makes intuitive sense.

Also, I want to be a short bunny twink and no amount of people dismissing complaints by calling them beta versions will make me not want to keep playing a short bunny twink.
