VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Duskane]

any hat that deletes hair styles works on Viera
all the cowls,hoods,lvl 83 dungeon headgear etc etc

That's sadly not true...
There are many helmets that delete hair completely that are unavailable, and they have "room" to either have the ears showing without clipping on anything or hiding them (assumed they're tucked in).

I am just saying if there is new hair coming in 6.2 and it says Viera and Hroth can't wear it, they are pretty much saying a big old heck you to that playerbase because we are talking fresh assets now, fresh models, they just couldn't be assed modeling them for every race and I think that should scream at you their commitment to their game. I am going to be that bun and say if you look at history, it was around this milestone that WoW started to become disconnected from their community and lost their enthusiasm so let's hope FFXIV isn't going down the same path but if I see in the patch notes new hair and that tiny little text that says "Viera and Hroth can't wear it" We are starting to climb onto that slippery slide since like I said, that is fresh hecking assets! No excuses!


The WoW thing I might have been dramatic XD Because like in terms of content they are putting in things based on feedback but heck! I am grumpy right now! I can be dramatic!

Well, at least they're going in the right direction again and restored our ears. Now please make mogstation hats work on V/H please. That should be something that should always work

Id almost rather them work on making hats work instead of getting new hairs. The runar style is fine I haaaaate 98% of a gearslot not working especially if its gear I pay extra for.
But if we do get new hair in 6.2 then my top pocks would be 3 generic universal styles and 3 MA
- Artoriels style
- The "Jesus" Style
- The style shenpais oc uses
- Styled For Hire
- Rainmaker
- and ofc Windcaller windcaller should always have worked because its only obtainable in bozja and bozja is the hrothgar homeland (well one of them but despite going to Ilsabard in ew we see exactly 1 hrothgar in either thavnair or garlemald

some Gears just look incomplete without the hat. There is nothing that takes away the feeling that something there is not right. An example is PvP gear.

Yeah if nothing else it would be great to have the iconic hats working like BLM, WAR, RDM, AST, and BRD. Dungeon gear less so if I have to pick, but not being able to wear the iconic headgear for jobs is pretty bad when the sets are designed around it

What I've heard is that Viera unique hairstyles have no "Hat-versions", like when your hair suddenly loses a few elements to accomodate a hat.

If they get to fix that (and if that's really one of the big issues), then it would open to way more than just a few iconic hats.

Other than that there's also the clipping that may happen with some vertical hats, since Viera ears are so centered on top of the head. How to fix this? I don't know, I'm not a scientist... but maybe, since the ears are rigged, they could tilt the shapes a bit sideways?

the quickest solution would be for them to buy the mods that came out. There is one of such quality that even the holes, to pass the ears, were made. This mod accommodates all types of ears, on different helmets (and the author is looking to make all helmets work), even having already made helmets that I thought were impossible, like Amon's hat or top hats. All this without clipping anything, and even making models of ear pockets for helmets that would look weird just having a furry ear on top. You can find a lot of screenshots of this mod in Twitter.

But we know that may never happen, so they have to sit their asses in the chair and work. The excuse that it is impossible is no longer valid, from the moment that mods started to appear.

did they say if they're adding more hair in 6.2 or no
