Viera and Hrothgar hair in patch 5.1?

[LittleArrow]

I know it's still too soon to expect anything in regards to hair and helmets.. but I did, and I'm disappointed. The new races are a real sore spot for me with the expansion. They're just unfinished, period. They should be able to wear all helmets (especially helmets paid for in the cash shop) and hairstyles. I know they said they'll get to them when they get to them, and I'm positive a lot of the minor content updates were probably already almost done to be begin with (furnishings, mannequins, minions, etc); however, I really think prioritizing unfinished content over minor content updates should be the case over at SE.

All I can do is hope that Yoshi and his team continue to hear that their Viera and Hrothgar players want their helmets and hairstyles. I hope they pursue this content in the near future.

[Edit] I also switch back and forth, b/c the lack of features on this race is really frustrating, but I've been waiting for Viera since launch. I'm half a mind they're delaying finishing these races indefinitely just so they can make some money on fantasias. I hope I'm wrong.

Both races will get fleas in 5.1, and their idle poses will all have occasional scratching.

For some reason I feel like we won't get the headgear or hairstyle problem fixed at least until 5.3 or 5.4 or something. I do hope I'm wrong but considering we haven't heard a single thing about Viera and Hrothgar hairstyles and headgear fixes yet, it just feels like they won't be getting to it for quite some time while they work on other things.

Maybe until after Eureka 2.0?

i was really hoping we get more hairstyles in 5.1 but it doesnt look like it i guess, i just hope that we can use the new coming hairstyle shown in the patchnotes. i love my bunnbunn and i was waiting for viera since 3.0 (and then we got aura). i was miqo since 1.0 until 5.0 and sometimes im tempted to switch back just for the hairstyles but then i look at my viera and i cant bring it over my heart (lol)

its not like we need all hairstyles at once back but atleast 3-4 each patch would be nice. im no programmer (or whoever is responsible to make it work) so idk whats the issue really.

its just frustrating because me and many others waited YEARS for viera and now with the lack of hairstyles (even real money purchases and hard to get ingame hairstyles) seems like a punishment.

at this time im really tired of "Limited" things in this game, first blue mage and now even limited races.

Sidenote: back then yoshi said we dont get viera yet because and I quote: "they cant wear shoes yet" - assuming they would get beastly like feet once released and they need to work on the shoes because of it- now they have completely normal feet and no hairstyles and X% no headgear to wear. I guess they just completely miscalculated how much time they would need to release both races or they planned it at the beginning to be the outcome we have now.

Dont get me wrong, I happy we got Viera ( and hrothgar ) but Im still disappointed.

Instead adding that new gate to Gold saucer which will be dead after a month they could have use that time and resouces to convert hair and head gear for new races for 5.1. Guess SE likes to do limited races and jobs and not finish them.

I get that fixing hairstyles to races takes time and it's only been about 3 months since ShB launched but to be honest I'm afraid that the "we'll give new hairstyles to Viera and Hrothgar" thing will join the additional Egi glamours for Summoners in development hell.
I really hope that they'll fit the legacy hairstyles to Viera (the wording in "we'll give them additional styles but they'll be race-exclusive" from the past interview troubles me) and that for Hrothgar they'll continue to add more hairstyles as promised and (hopefully) allow them to be changed in the aesthetician.

I call it "We you know want it, we can do it, we will tell you we will do it, but we don't actually want to do it, and wont do it."

Well, we also don't know what the new raid's gear looks like. Maybe Viera and Hroth are getting something but it's a sneaky surprise. I don't have my hopes up but it's a possibility. That and they said on the patch notes new hairstyleS were added but only showed one. Worst case scenario: Every other race but Viera and Hroth gets 2 new hairstyles to use.

I wish they would at least allow Hroth to change between the 2 variations of the face they pick through the aesthetician. Having to use a fantasia in order to do that is stupid.

[Hanayumi]

Yeah devs did mention new hair for viera and hrothgar a while back, no idea if it's a every major patch deal like usual, but yes should see new styles at some point

[KitingGenbu]

Someone in another thread said it best: Limited races.

[Kasmiya]

Honestly the no mention of any kind of bone thrown at Viera/Hrothgar here made me change back to Au'ra. They really just shouldn't have done Viera/Hrothgar at all. They were never prepared to treat them as full races

Same. I switched back last week. I do miss being viera already but I really wish we had more hair options.
