VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Adamantini]

Great Lengths!!!!!!! FINALLY, THANK YOU SE!

But where are my ears on the new helmets? ¬¬

[Ranaku]

I mean it was clearly communicated that both Viera and Hrothgar will be heavily limited races when it comes to hairstyles and headgear so i don't get why so many people are so confused about this. Take what you get but don't expect what was denied and never promised in the first place.

[Caro178]

If you read through the current conversation nobody is confused about the lack of headgear. In fact, the debate is currently about headgear that IS visible and enabled. For the record these new raid helmets delete Miqo ears too so it isn't even a conversation exclusively pertaining to Viera and Hrothgar, it's about what compromises people are willing to make when it comes to racial features and glamour.

The big irony is if they continue at their current pace of updates Viera will have a bigger and more varied selection of hairstyles than Miqo, Lalas, etc. by the time 7.0 drops. and that is all because people made it clear that updates were desired.

Was excited to open up the merchant screen to try on all the Island Sanctuary gear and i'm now absolutely pissed that I still can't wear the hat. So lazy of them. It's frustrating that the most profitable game Squenix has still can't find the time to let their races wear a single hat.

the hairstyles they gave us this turn are so dry & "safe", why do we need 2 sets of pigtails (3 in total) and that weird wet looking short one? why wont they just add the mog station hairs if we purchased them?
Why not roe hair 8 or an aura hair- something a bit more fitting for a viera
this game has some of the blandest hairstyles ive seen in an mmo
i feel like a hair contest would just more of the same. straight textured hairs with hime bangs

Rather than being hand picked these base game styles are simply being added in order based on their file numbers in the game. I posted the list a couple times already. They aren't purposefully choosing dry, safe hairstyles - this is just the order they're naturally in and I assume they'll continue to be added in order starting with the basic ponytail in 5.3. The modern aesthetics styles are definitely being chosen based on popularity, however. They're adding two popular unlockable styles and one wild card with each patch.

I would let go of any wishes to get racial exclusive styles like Roe hair 8 or any au'ra hair. Each race has styles unique to them including Viera. The styles we're getting are the ones shared by all races.

The one you described as "that weird wet looking short one," is one of the most hideous styles in the game. Literally no one wears it (because it's awful) and I'm baffled as to why they would waste the resources adding it.

Your subjective opinion, buddy.

[Strongfat900]

The recent patch is a great in my opinion. Just made a new Viera character with the new added hairstyle. I know that a lot of people wanted helmets and hats to be added, and they're adding them but I'm more happy on the fact that they're adding more hairstyles for both the Viera and Hrothgar.

Ok Ive tried all the hairstyles. They all look good on viera. It felt weird at first but I am happy. Using great lengths and playing on my island. Life is good. The hats they didnt add for us are not my flavour anyway so I am not too bothered. I ofc think they should be available but like I dont suffer about lack of MCH changes I dont suffer from lacking boring hats. Back to gathering: I got a treehouse to build!
