VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Milus]

Hrothgars after today's live letter:

[Kazhar]

Brace yourselves for three more years of silence

[Minali]

To be fair, they already communicated that this live letter would be about new upcoming features with the next patches. It would have been nice if they would have addressed this, even if it would've been just in the pre-show before the actual live letter, but it's not like they promised us a feedback stream and then didn't deliver.

That said, I can understand the disappointment. I really hoped they would have learned that they should not ignore this topic but apparently not.

Imagine paying the full price for the already expensive new shop outfit as Viera/Hrothgar, yes it has 2 upper bodies but it's still -1 item for us because no hat...

[Milus]

We don't need to imagine that, we been experiencing that.

[Kelev]

Between this thread and the "Hrothgar Haircuts Are Really Bad" thread, we have over 300 pages of action here, and not so much as a mention in the live letter.

Square Enix saving me money by giving me less reason to buy cash shop outfits lmao

Generic White Hair Catgirl no.77564389 wont have you slander the devs deliberately screwing over two player races. They put an asterisk and dont offer you alternate hatless purchase options god you're so mean to the most profitable mmo on the market goooosh

Seriously? I literally said to give feedback to the devs for that.

(..) If they sold a variant on the store without the hat, then sure there's your discount. I'd suggest people start giving more of that feedback on separating the pieces. I don't know if they'd ever actually do it, but it's worth a shot (across platforms).

No it's a lot more like, they've been sat around for 3 years knowing people want to wear hats on these races, and they didn't even bother to make the "new" hairs have the necessary deforms to make them compatible with head gear,
showing 0 signs of willingness to fix the hair, without which no matter how much time they spend on a new item, if it has hair it just won't work for them.
The smart idea would be to start working on all the base hairs to include this missing feature, and give them new hairs after, otherwise they'll have to revisit more hair later on.. ( but I think it's a fair assumption that they won't at all. )

Exactly this. They don't seem to be showing any sign of going back on their initial intent of not giving them hats. I said this in more detail in a post of mine in the actual outfit thread, they could probably spend some time and make hat hair, and/or make more hats available, but they really seem to just not want to do it. I'm sure they are well aware these players want hats to be shown.

A friend of mine started out as a highlander but bought the game after 1 week. Even though I warned him about the restrictions, he created a hrothgar. After witnessing the disregard for the race, he ended up using a fantasia to become an Au'ra. He says that if SE stops this stupidity, he goes back to hrothgar, as he finds all races in the game "human with pet ears"

That's what happened with a lot of female viera and hrothgar players during launch (myself included). It isn't until a little later, that they realize the extent of the limitations of these races and then decide to switch off, disappointed. It happened with male viera players too, they had to have known of the limitations before but played the race anyway.

>SE doesn't wanna fix Hrothgar and sink resources because playerbase is low
>Playerbase is low because SE doesn't want to fix hrothgar and sink resources into them
>Rinse and repeat

I don't think that's really why. I think it's very simple. They just don't want to sink resources. Period.

HEY! They had to spend 30 minutes yammering on about the new animal crossing minigame where could they find the time to mention...two player races still being in beta for 3 years?
