Viera hat compatibility is tied to hair styles

[ZoeEudestand]

People need to stop apologizing for the devs when they keep lying and forgetting promises or saying something can't be done. Years upon years of people thinking its ok because of some arbitrary "spaghetti code" excuse, if viera hats aren't enough of a clue, they said they'd add retroactive pvp gear to vendors for trophy crystals 2 years ago, just adding itemid's to vendors is too hard for these guys but don't worry, they're trying their best apparently. Don't forget the time they said adding a checkmark on orchestrion rolls to see if you collected it was going to be too much server traffic as they said it would need to check back and forth constantly????, despite a plugin already tracking it locally. Lo and behold, time after this they pivot to doing it the way the plugin did. Until the game is back in a better place, stop deifying these devs, they need to hear the negative feedback and people need to stop making excuses for a company that's happy to take your money every month and put less and less effort in each patch cycle.

I hope you buns get your hats in the end but I wouldn't hold your breath and even if you do get them its still inexcusable at this point how long its taken, don't stop shouting about it until you get it.

If they can't fix this, they should at least give us the option to hide Viera ears while wearing a hat. It might look silly, but it's probably the best option.

The ears aren't the problem. As far as I know, the problem is the missing hairstyle variation for hats and that Viera have a different headshape than other races. So hats are often not fitting and hair is not squishing.

I have no clue why they did it this way.

This is still no excuse really. Create the hair variations, adjust the hats to fit the head shape (like they do for literally every other race except hrothgar who are in the same boat as us) and let the ears clip. I don't think anyone cares about clipping at this point. We just want hats. I don't understand why they just straight up ignore this complaint for half a decade now.

Did I say it's an excuse? I said that I don't get why SE did this. xD

I only said those things above because Lockhart missed the theme of this thread. :>

1 year since that article and almost 6 years, more than half a decade, since the race came into existence.

We waited long enough. Their excuses are just bullshit.
Even if they sat one intern down to solve that issue it would take one intern wth a bit of knowledge of the issue half a year or less.
Modders can do it in less.

omg I clicked it and thought it was from this January RIP

I wish they would just adjust the heads and remove the offending hairstyles... or rework the hairstyles or SOMETHING. It makes more sense to me than adjusting all of the head gear.

If they removed the offending hairstyles you would all be bald, because not a single hairstyle for Viera has functioning shapekeys to make them fit hats. Yes, not even the hairstyles that work perfectly fine on every other race.

Yeah the universal ones that were added retroactively don't have shape keys, which is just pure being lazy but whatever let's just leave that in the past for now.

The 7.0 onward hair has shape keys on all but viera and hroth WHICH IS DELIBERATE AND AN ASSHOLE MOVE.

Like why the actual feck are they doing this??

Even though they made the heads all one morph which is what they told us would fix this.

bump since there was that key art getting ppls hopes up
