VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Allegor]

Hrothgar are still oddities hairstyle-wise – going from some discussion I read here when Hrothgar hairstyle-switching had just been implemented, they're still handled in the background as different faces/heads with integrated hairstyles, rather than the hairstyle as a separate thing added to the head later. That (I speculate) might mean that the thing that triggers the hairstyle to change when a hat is applied, may not have access to change the hair model as for other races because it's not actually a hairstyle at that programming level.

I like to believe since (apparently) Hroths were not meant to have hairstyles, they had to improvise with tape and band aids after continuous negative feedback and the 6.1 ear fiasco, but will eventually work around it properly, if they aren't already while working on female Hroths

Just found out that the Variant reward gear doesn't work on Viera, we're back to the days when SE releases rewards not every player can use again.
Don't think they listened at all to this entire 2700+ post thread of feedback at all. Just wait for Dawntrail when Viera can use exactly 6 out of the 20+ job gears' headgear and 1 dungeon's gear has a usable hat.
Or, they decide to give Viera a bunch of ridiculous looking tiny hats to continue being lazy about not fixing the issues with the race. I'm so glad they did that with the fall guys hats and now they have a creative way to be lazy and avoid fixing anything that a mod can in a few hours.

This whole hat thing reminds me of Blizzard not updating Blood Elf models all throughout Warlords of Draenor until the very last patch, while every other old model was updated. However, Blizzard eventually did update them the expansion they announced it, but for Viera and Hrothgars to get hats of all things has been how many years at this point?

It doesn't make any sense as to why they cant do it, other than that they don't care enough. Seems like they will go through a period like Blizzard did/is, in which they think they can do whatever, and just say "we'll fix/finish it later" or just straight up having unfulfilled promises.

I would like to suggest to reconsider the idea of miniature sized models for Viera heads when designing crowns.
They can tuck the ears through and have standard sized crowns.

Ironically I think it looks far better the way it is and I would be disappointed to have it changed. The micro crown is cute and silly exactly the way something from a meme colab like Fall Guys should be. I've seen a few requests for the other races to have the small version as well so I would guess I am not alone in this opinion.

The shrunken pink hat does look dreadful on Viera but with the shape I'm not sure it ever could have looked halfway decent even at full size with the ears clipping through the top.

This would be nice, the tiny hats are something that just looks plain silly on my character, and I'd like to have a non-joke hat. If they continue to just make these hats tiny for Viera to waear them I'm going to be upset about it. These look so stupid, especially on male characters.

I would've liked the crown better if it were crooked and looped around one ear.

That wouldve been glorious!

So I grinded Crystal conflict for days on end to get the gear coffer since it is limited and whatnot. And ofc.....

I still don't understand why the False Monarchy helmet appears on Viera, but this one doesn't. Very disappointed.
