MEGATHREAD: Requested Hairstyles & Facial Hair

[CidHeiral]

It does feel like though the players who always want short hairs are ordering for the entire table, regardless of what the other players want.

I don't have any problem with long hairstyles. I'm using one right now and my holy grail hairstyle is a long one.



All I'm saying is that if I were developing a video game and its community requested long hairstyles, then bitched about clipping every time I added one, I would add them very infrequently if at all.

The only way around that is to either stick to short hairstyles, make all chest pieces boring and flat, or implement a robust physics engine with full collision detection that would blow up all the toasters most people are running this game on the second they step into a populated area.

If the community can accept that clipping is unavoidable and quit whining incessantly about it you'd probably see the devs be much less apprehensive about adding long hairstyles.

The simple truth is there are as many actually long hairstyles as there are actually short ones, that is to say... 6, 7? (not counting racial hairstyles) - we're in dire need of both so there's no need to pit ourselves against each other with this long vs short argument when the true enemy is medium length.

I don't really care if it's short, medium, long or even if I end up hating them... just give us different hair types!

Almost everything is straight or slightly wavy hair. I don't think we need yet another "male anime protagonist" style, for example - and ironically there's a few in the new batch of style winners from the contest. But at the very least we have different hair types.

I don't disagree at all with what you're saying & you're not wrong! -

I often wear the Lyse ponytail because it's somewhat near the length of my irl hair & has bangs- I want to see more hairstyles with bangs but also a counterpart with no bangs; wavy hair, braids etc.
I know in a recent interview, idr which one specifically but yoshi-p said they were all working on improving the "hair mapping" and how it falls as well as other fabrics and loose armors/fabrics (i dont remember if he said cloth or what but it was along those lines)

that would be pretty!
I'd like it on Viera too

I want long hairstyles, and hairstyles that basically insinuate a long hairstyle, like a lovely double wrapped chignon or a thick halo braid for example.
Im kind of over the choppy mullets & stringy overgrown bowl cuts, which leads me to another note- better short hairstyles that actually give the notion that the WoL can actually style their hair. Right now most of the hairstyles are very 'safe' & rather boring.
We just need wider customisation & variety in hairstyles, texture (curly, wavy, coily, frizzy) & coiffures.

Beautiful hair pics! I would love the braided long ones. I am having my hair done like the top pic for a wedding I am going...would be lovely to see on my character <3

Idk what the holdup with Hildas hair is, tbh? It has been requested for YEARS? It has been modded and moved to every race at this point and it actually looks GOOD. We have gotten other npcs hairstyles. I am so confused as to why not this one....?
