Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[ReynTime]

Honestly, more hair and headgear options would be a great 'bonus' but personally I just want Hrothgar to stop walking hunched. The thousands of Hrothgar going with the Ludwig Von Koopa hair don't bother me nowhere near as much as everyone being hunched for no reason.

This is the reason I stopped playing a Hrothgar. I happen to change to warrior one day and the axe on my back looked like it would fall forward in an instant. Gunblades and Polearms float like 2 feet away from your back as well.

The reason why they're so hunched over is from all those years of bowing down to da kween.

I have a thread that could use a bump that you might be very excited about:

The hunch is a non issue for me, but that probably comes from playing WoW for so long. But I wouldn't complain if the option to run around straight backed was available. More options is never a bad thing when it comes to character creation.

You're really hung up on arguing about hats when the majority of the posts in this thread have been about the additional customization they were supposed to be adding and so far haven't.

I'm not talking to a "majority of post" in this thread, I was pointing out how this ...

This is because it’s the racially unique hair, which they did not model “hat versions” for that is the issue. So you can get away with helmets because it makes sense for the wearer to tuck away hair when donning them. A little harder to explain away why your bunny is suddenly bald when putting on a wizard hat.

Is backwards logic. Saying "I don't care about hats that much ... buuut they wouldn't need to do xyz or 4 extra models to get them to work because I think clipping is fine" doesn't cover up that you're basically saying the result is the cause. "Take the L" is good practice.

Again I just want Communication~ COMMUNICATION COMMUNICATION!!!

The fact is there has been nothing or if there has been any sort of reference its been "Its in the works." or "more info coming" With no follow up to what exactly is being done. as we have all stated we aren't looking for miracles. We just want information that has been with held or passed over or glazed over in hopes we wouldn't notice.

At this point is just ridiculous stalling. If promises are not going to be followed through with and we are going to have only 8 hair- excuse me hairs styles with a Bangs and No bangs variant with one additional "armor hair" then just say it. If the Hrothgar are only going to have what it is 3 faces? and no more are coming as promised. Then tell us.

Its not so much that we are mad or "whining" over the fact that we aren't getting new things. Its the fact we aren't getting what was originally promised and were given what is essentially a Beta run of a race. Even the core base races had more hair styles and customizations when starting out in 2.0...i might dare even say 1.0 when a planter had the same amount of polygons as your player character!

(Warning this is where I NOW rant about hair cause I CAN!!)
For a cookie cutter game - you can at least go a few teleports without seeing a Lalafell or Elezen or Miqote that looks alike. You can't go two yalms without finding 3 or 5 or 12 of the same looking Viera. And of those 8 hair styles- if we are honest only like 2 of them are descent looking so you have 2 hairstyles both one with bangs one with out bangs for Viera. While no one is 100% original looking in this game, it's even more so disparaging for Rabbits. Though at least we don't have to fantasia our faces to hair swap like our poor Hrothdaddy counters.

"Take the L" is good practice.

I agree, you should try it. You know, instead of having a meltdown about how you don’t actually want to play miqo so you’re “not like the other catgirl weebs” and how actually, you DID want viera until they didn’t suit your personal tastes exactly and so now they’re a waste and you want female Hrothgar.

Same, I don't really mind it, but would like to stand straight too if given the option. That said, I have a hunch () that once a race is created their design is set in stone, or else they would've fixed Elezen years ago.

HEY! Those reasons are valid! I make excuses all the time, just like those!
