Ya this is pure greed on SE part. nothing more nothing less. there's no fucking reason why we can't share crap with alts. also before the fanboys come in defense of this crap with sPaGhetTiscOdE there are WAY OLDER AND WAY CRAPPIER games that let you share shit with alts. like fuck SWTOR lets you move crap between alts and that shit is owned by EA and run by like 5 people. when EA the poster boy for evil videogames companies is less stingy than you, you've really fucked up.

Also there are numerous mods where modders have made hats visible and and even added different haircuts with just 2nd party software so what's their excuse? like why even bother making them if dont want to put any effort on them?

like he could worded this crap WAYYY better cuz it just makes him look like a lazy greedy asshole.

I mean I doubt we will ever see community pushback against negligence like this unless its widespread and egregious. That's the problem when players are super buddy-buddy with the company they pay money to, there's no pressure to not half ass things.

People who don't play H/V will just shrug and move on. People who do play H/V will just mod and deal with it.


A shame though, we're losing out on so much because of this approach ;(.

But the thing is, i could understand not adjusting older gear. It’s the new gear that makes no sense to me. Why can’t they make the new gear work for them? Or hairstyles? It’s just really baffling to me it’s been an entire expansion with seemingly no improvements on that front.

Whatever is going on, it suggests that it's not just "we don't want to revisit old gear". Something stops them from being able to share hairstyles with the other races. Otherwise it shouldn't be more modification work than they already have to do for Miqo'te, so why stop short?

HOWEVER, there are some items that there's absolutely no excuse, such as the Calfskin cap (and a number of other similar items, like bandanas)... Just a hole would work. If they looked upon those smaller items, like caps, hoods and bandanas, it would open a huge variety.

I feel like the angle of the ear bases means that hats would have to be quite big to line up with them? Which might look fine over hair, but it's hard to tell. They tend to have very bulky hairstyles as far as I can think.

I've seen similar glitches with Miqo'te too, and their ears float in a similar distance than of Viera... and the caps, bandanas, etc, all float a little above the actual scalp, if you compare some images... It's just that Viera ears would need different kind of holes.

Of course, point hats, for example, defnitely would be really hard to work because their point would clip upwards. I mean literally bandanas and caps, they can be workable just with the holes.

The ear base isn't actually as big or as long as it looks there, the cut-outs in the hairstyles look like this (normally they're bald spots and not filled in, but this is the only image I could find showing the shape) everything around it is just fluff from the ears and not actually part of the base.
