VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[ameliaw]

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

I saw nothing about it but some people said that the new 6.2 hairs won't work in viera/hroth based on some datamining.
big yikes if true

If that was true, then what I feared on a prior page might be true. I will wait until an update comes out with new hair, but this would be awful if it's the case. Also, because it would mean they'd be having to make those shared hairs available later anyway (maybe even thinking that is from an optimistic point of view).

How has that been datamined already? I agree it is a big yikes and damn. I was hoping to be able to fantasia back if vieras got more hairstyles. I miss my girl so much.

It's apparently been in the files for a while, probably because it's the ponytail some NPC's have used already. I read it's flagged for every races except Viera (I haven't seen any mention of Hrothgar specifically so while it's technically possible, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they can't use it either.)

It's possible it'll change before release, but the Lyse hair was found weeks before it released and it was flagged for Viera right off the bat, so I'm not super hopeful.

Seriously, it hasn't even been a week since I was celebrating that S.E. put the hrothgars' ears back, and now this...
The saddest thing is that I can't even be surprised by the incompetence of this company. I really hope they reconsider and fix this new hair for both races (Hrothgar and Viera). But coming from Square Memex, I don't doubt they're just going to do nothing and then come with the famous "sorry, we didn't know you wanted it. We're surprised by the demand!"

That actually makes me angry. Who the hell is making the decisions on this? Like how can they even THINK that it is ok to release something that they can't use as a damn REWARD for a GRIND. I am not surprised...it isnt that, considering that vieras/hrothgar still cant use the BOUGHT hairstyles but jesus f*ck how can they seriously consider releasing it not available to two of the races? Just DON'T release it until you made it compatible with every race??! Not hard to understand...guess I am keeping my fantasia a bit longer.

Its hard to determine whats up with that hair because it lacks a viera number (buns have their own file numbering), lacks an icon, and also lacks a male counterpart while not being unisex. The Lyse hair was patched in complete back before it was released. As is, this hair new file is not complete.

I wont trust anything about anything til patch notes drop and even then I'll still be cutscene skipping thru msq to get to IS faster to check the new Aesthetics myself since they finally deigned to add an "addenum: not usable by viera or hrothgar even though this hair dropped in shb" note to ma items.

It's probably a bigger question if new hairs will be available for hrothgar at first. Maybe, and since they are going back and adding ears, you'd think those hairs would have ears too. I wonder if they would couple viera and hrothgar together again, and just start delaying releases, if it comes to that. We will have to wait and see.

Did they ever say anything about making it possible to more easily add hrothgar ears now, or did they just show a picture of that hair with ears?

I'm hoping this is the case at the worst, and at best they're reworking how the hair/hat system works for 7.0 so both races never have to wait again for their hats/hair.
