Current state of Viera and Hrothgar

[VeleriaEvenstar]

Bump!
I mentioned it in another thread before - I changed from Viera to Miqo'te to be able to make some festive outfits with hats for Christmas player events and even though I closed my sub for now, I would love to come back to my bunbun when I come back to the game and be able to *finally* properly display the headgear.
Seriously, it's a joke at this point.

Snip.

Out of topic but kind of actually on the topic - your signature made me laugh out loud

Comedy born out of sheer exasperation, I assure you!

Bumping again, I refuse to let this thread fall down into obscurity
Fix hrothgar and viera hats already, or at the very least acknowledge the issue and say you're working on it

They have. Look at the second question.

Of course "we're working on it" is very vague and could mean almost anything, but clearly they're aware players are unhappy about the current situation and they're at least looking into potential solutions.

Snipp'd

And that's the issue "we're working on it" is not enough.
That article is from beginning of 2024. We're almost in 2025 now and the situation has not improved.

This issue is half a decade old.
There's no "we're working on it" and "we're aware" that is an excuse anymore.
Because in FFXIV devteam those 2 words in regards ot this topic mean "please forget about it and shut up already" at this point.

You are entitled to like or dislike the hat situation but it's not a bug they haven't fixed in years, it's working as intended. They said that would be the case from the very beginning. Exploring ways to change that is probably something they work on when other tasks are out of the way so it'll most likely take quite some time for what he was talking about to bear fruit, if it ever does.

The big thing for me is that, they said they would get unique hairstyles in return for it and so they've only been getting older ones so in that end, they failed.

[LinaAkayomi]

The problem is that a multi million dev team can't get the time to fix the situation, while some random person off the internet can have them WORKING, by themselves, within 2 weeks of release.
That's what really adds insult to injury.
And it's not because Dawntrail is a stellar production, either, but that's another can of worms entirely. It does add to my inner rage, however.

Sorry but this is something modders fix in weeks after an expansion.
If anything its even more embarrassing.
Not to mention Dataminers have found Zeros outfit in the code, the Hat as usual not working on Hroth and Viera despite them getting the hairstyle due to a toggle being turned off, not on.
That's right, despite it working with the hairstyle and not clipping it won't work.
It's 2025 and they keep releasing stuff that won't work on 2 entire Races.

I want to add that Viera race hairs don't fit Viera heads anymore. Or at least don't fit Viera face 2 properly. That's been an issue since the graphics update, and they still haven't fixed it. They haven't fixed it even though for the 7.1 patch notes it states that they fixed these things for some characters. you would think they meant all characters affected but nope. Not Viera.
