is hair clipping really that hard to fix? new female body armor for magic class

[gumas]

iam talking the Exarchic coat of casting (or the ornate version)

it look nice, it has good design, good style too...

then you look the back and if your character has long hair, you're pretty much screwed

uuugghhh

Armor designers have poor imagination and here we are ;(

They seem to be designed in isolation and never look at what happens when you combine the hairstyle with clothing.

Use short hair. Imagine that you can actually resolve the "issue". The time investment necessary to "fix" clipping isn't worth it.

I don't expect them to fix it but I do expect them to be careful about putting large collars on things.

The otherwise-lovely Lv70 WHM gown is completely spoiled by the fan collar on it, for example. My character's hair isn't really long but it still clips through the collar in a vary ugly way. As I said, I think they build the things in isolation and never actually check how the whole character comes together.

I think that's fine. Not all outfits should be accommodating for longer hairstyles. Yeah, it sucks for people who prefer longer hairs (like me), but by including collars there is more variety, or rather, more unique outfit designs can be created as a whole by being "designed in isolation". Elezen for one, look great in collared tops.

this is poor answer to be frank, so if you are the developer you tell people to "yes we have a lot of long hair style but dont use it because it look bad on certain armor, so dont use long hair style"? thats like saying some of your game segment is broken but instead of fixing the problem you tell your customer to play better?

the fact that they have hat/helmet that cover your entire hair mean they actually know how to prevent hair clipping in the first place, why not use the same thing for armor?

I shouldn't have to. It really is as simple as that. I should not have to forego any long hair for short hair or ponytails a bit further back to avoid clipping when they could simply take hairstyles into account and prevent the problem from existing in the first place. It shouldn't even be a problem that needs fixing, it shouldn't be a problem period. Another perfect example is the Scion Traveler set, I loved it the moment I got it and wanted to use it for the entirety of Shadowbringers... and then I saw how horrible it clips with my characters straight long hair.

It's no wonder people resort to using third-party things to fix issues that has been a years long issue in game. Personally, that has been my annoyance in game for years, but luckily found a hairstyle that I can use that fits all of my different types of gear (Gyr Abanian Plait).

rule 1 of a lot mmorpg's: Don't use long hair.

At least if you care about clipping.
