VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[RyuDragnier]

The Squall hair actually works on Hrothgar, it feels a bit natural.

i hope they add the windcaller style for viera

I can't wait to wear the new raid gear with headgear...

Oh wait, I forgot SE doesn't really care about Viera or Hroths and just keeps doing this every patch. At least we got a couple hastily ported hairstyles that give us a 5head! Totally makes up for it!
It'll be really fun when 7.0 hits, hats aren't fixed, more unwearable hats are released for job gear, and on top of that every pre-SHB race will have their textures and models updated to be better than Viera and Hroth.

Not defending the headgear situation, but the hairstyles chosen look completely fine. They don't give massive foreheads that are disproportionate to the other races. They look the same on us as they do everybody else. The male hairstyle in particular suits that character really well and I see it being a fairly popular choice.





For the record I've seen Viera and Hrothgar sporting every single new hair addition at some point even the ones I personally dislike.

Speaking to hats I feel like part of the reason hrothgar at least cant wear anything...you'd want to wear (No yoshi I do not to wear full helms ever for any reason I like my gars face let me wear fashionable chapeaus) is because hroth were designed in the most amazingly terrible way you could design a race.
The hairlock is known but the hairlock was an issue because for reason no man or woman or god himself could ever begin to parse the design team thought to make every hrothgars headshape marginally different from each other. You cant really tell in game but this is what I know from reading some m*dders posts. He hroth face had a slightly different headshape that I cant fathom why you would ever design a race that way. "Oh well theyre all different species haha" ok but like...you deliberately screwed a player race out of not only a whole gearslot but also its own racial hair. Thats unbelievable I cant understand why you would hurt players like that.

So now (we assume based on one 144p printout) we can assume going forward for hrothgar anyway hats will begin to work. Well Id like to anyway. Id adore 6.5 getting here, going to my dresser and seeing some hats actually fit my dangt head. Like imagine if 6.5 gear previews showed hroth wearing a hat that also had a hair model omg I'd finally simp for the devs.

But I EXPECT hats wont work til femgar get here in 7.0, and hroth and viera will both bw awed and amazed at getting an entire new expansions worth of hats that finally work.

As for viera I assume hats dont work bc they dont wanna bother with ears (see like 50% of miqote headpieces) but then viera can wear like the Crypt hoods or the Heroes Gauntlet/Ktisis edgelord helms with their ootseycutesy wabbit ears out looking totally inappropriate in an edgy glam so who actually knows

It seems to be an issue with hair rather than ears. Any hats that do work are ones that fully conceal the character's hair, or else small ones that don't afffect it at all. Anything that needs to turn off only the top half of the hair model doesn't work.

You're right of course. According to someone who did a hat mod for viera the "flag" ingame to make hats appear is turned off.
I would ask "why cant we just use hats with any nonracial hair we've gotten?" but Im sure you cant create separate flags that are dependent on players hair. They need to make behatted hair models for base hroth and viera hair in the first place.

There are multiple hairstyles of the previous races that as soon as they put certain hats on, the hair changes form or gets tucked in and you only see the fringes for example, so I can’t see why they won’t do the same with us.

[LuciaMirain]

I might be naive but I do think the overhaul that comes with 7.0 might actually fix coming hats.

Right?
