VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[AnotherPerson]

Still waiting for a mention about Hrothgar hunchback adjustment which was given as player feedback since Shadowbringers release. With Female Hrothgar being able to stand and move around without a hunchback, it makes no sense to not adjust male Hrothgar's posture now. Or provide a toggle for it.

if they EVER touch it, I hope we still have some KIND of hunchback, just not as a strong, I like it and I've seen people using the normal "straight" back thing and... its hideous really, I like the way it is or at least keep a bit hunched if they ever change that

at this point id just say download the hat mod and be done with it

I would, but I post alot of glams and in basically every single group out there, mods arent allowed so I have to switch it off anyway.

i'd like to be able to use the cloud hair i won from a contest and some of the cash shop hairs. im guessing not but did anyone ask about hrothgar/viera hats?

I am still waiting on the yshtola hair and the minfilia hair. Had them for years now. Ofcourse the modders fixed them immediately.

Mods are no solution. Not only that's it's not allowed to use them. Also every player on console isn't even able to break the rules.

I heard the the problem isn't the ears. It's the hair. They haven't adjusted this hairstyles for the headgear. That's why some helmets which hide the hair completely are wearable.

That's the neat part about toggles though, you can adjust the hunch to whatever degree meets your fancy, just as others. Of course you are perfectly fine disliking an option given to you, but that's like saying you find a specific set of Au Ra scales fugly and then hating the devs and the players using it for it, for "disrupting" your view. The only difference between this would be one adjustment would be new and one existed since the beginning.

Agreed. It's so weird every time people react to feedback with "just use an illegal tool that might cost you your account into which you maybe put a lot of money in it if anyone finds out and reports you". Like.. yes, the option exists. It doesn't make it an actual good option though, and its existence shouldn't mean we should stop giving devs our feedback about this.

Hats and helmets and more hairstyles are a feature for every single other race in this game, Hrothgar and Viera are the odd ones here. Asking for adjusting it to the bare minimum standards of other races shouldn't be brushed off with "just use illegal means".
(Also, I don't want to be pretty for myself, I want to be pretty for everyone and myself, a mod can't help with this because it only adjusts things on your end.)

Also, we were told we would get special new Viera hairstyles to make up for lack of hats, but have yet to get that.

At this stage I don't think its ever going to come.
Yoshi-P made that statement quite a few years ago now.. People on the forums speculate it was a mistranslation, but personally I don't believe so - It's just selective amnesia on the dev's part. I read somewhere that they said players wouldn't have to worry about losing their house, and we know what happened with that.

The closest we got to the developers addressing this situation was during the Hrothgar hairstyles/no ears backlash.
Yoshi mentioned something about them potentially receiving exclusive hairstyles which could take a while to make, but there were quite a few comments on the forums saying they don't want exclusive hairstyles - they just wanted the already existing ones in game to show their ears.. A missed opportunity for the Hrothgar players in my opinion.

I've just returned from like a 2-3 year break and seeing little to no changes to these races.. The graphics update looks good though

I'm going to share my post here. The topic is regarding face 2 markings absolutely not being able to match any fur highlights/hair highlights for Helions. Feel free to write on my post or like it if you agree.

it's not *the* solution but it is *a* solution for when after about 5 years of feedback we get nothing but "yeah its coming". i'd be okay if the racial hair didn't work with hats or whatever since the ones added to viera already have that second hair model for when you wear hats in use for all of the other races
