Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Denji]

I am pretty disappointed with how the WHM headpiece sits on a viera's head. See, I had this outfit idea in mind, but I had to scrap it due to clipping and floating. Just some sample shots:

Current hairstyle (one of the ported hairs), almost passable. However, due to clipping with this top's collar, unusable


Less clipping, but this piece floats too much over her head to justify being usable:


Another example of the floating:

This floats over the viera's head with almost every single hairstyle available, and when it isn't, it is clipping inside the hair itself:

Example:

There are less than a handful of hairstyles that are passable with this piece, and even less so when further hair clipping is taken into account. Too bad.

I hate how there isn't even a reason for this. They just didn't try.

I am still blown away by some of the hairstyles they haven't added that would seriously be very easy to add, Wind Caller is especially baffling to me considering Bozja is Shadowbringers, so they made a Hairstyle IN THE EXPANSION VIERA WAS ADDED IN, that was not Viera compatible just... because? I don't like complaining about stuff, but it is very frustrating to see these arbitrary seeming restrictions on just 2 races, a duct tape fix would honestly be better. I don't know how it took them a dynasty just to add a handful of hairstyles, most of which Viera already has an alternative for in their default ones. So they just retreaded the same ground with the additions, instead of adding wide varieties that we're missing. I've wanted Lexen Tails since I first saw it, and they still haven't just made a version for people with 2 sticks coming out of their head, it's really frustrating.

Just thought I'd put this here, considering this is the home of complaints like this, let me know if you feel the same.

I agree there. I was a bit disappointed that a lot of the questions involving the races were more geared towards Viera and not hrothgar, but I can only assume that both are included in the mix. Now, that being said, It is incredibly frustrating that I can't customize my Viera the way I'd want to customize her:



^My beautiful Queen. My patience is practically running on fumes at this point as we are the only two races that pay the same amount of money/month, but get less content. For anyone reading this and has something to say, I will say this:

Customization is considered content. Since we have limited customization options, we by default have access to Less content!

Without forgetting all the hats and hairstyles we purchase on the online store and can't use. Sure it is written on the label but still kind of unfair.

+ 1 bump to this thread.
As a new player i was really looking forward to character customisation. I happened to choose a Viera cause really liked the look of them. It is only much later while i was playing that i learned i actually wasn't able to use hats or many of the headgear and hairstyles and this made me really dissapointed. I just can"t believe this isn't fixed yet. Should the playerbase need to go as far as a online petition on www.change.org to make things move in this front ??

I hope it's allowed, if not I apologise, but I want to bump this thread again too. I love my Viera but the limited customisation is really sad, some of the hairs other races have would 100% make sense for Viera imo but idk why they're not implemented. give bunnies & lions love pls Square.

I think for future hairstyles added to Hroth/Viera, it would be really awesome if there was some sort of poll or voting for which hairstyles are chosen.

Anybody have a picture of the new hairstyles from the Island Sanctuary on Hrothgar? I wanted to give them a look.

Unlocked the Practical Ponytails hairstyle, and here's how it looks on Hrothgar.

Are our heads really that egg-shaped at the back?

[RyuDragnier]

Looking at various lion heads on google...apparently lions have that too.
