VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[VerdeLuck]

Are the frustrations that we have shared by the Japanese playerbase? Or are Viera/Hrothgar just not as popular/cared about?

A glance around the JP forums seems to suggest no, they are not upset about this.

Then nothing will change.

Another event has arrived, another piece of gear we can't wear. And it makes me feel so dumb to be forced to wear a piece of gear that does not show up as existing at all to continue the quest

I got Gil on for hevensturn we will get another hat that bun buns and harths won't be able to wear.

I heard that we might actually get baby Chocobo minions dressed as the zodiac animals.

This is not okay, my day is ruined. If youre gonna be this lazy, how about you give us a discount for hats we cant wear from the mog store eh? Why charge us full price for an armor set with pieces we cant wear?

The worst part about this is when rewards like this come out, Viera and Hroth players are forced to farm and earn FOMO items they can't use on the off chance they fanta one day or SE fixes the races.
I can't wear the PvP armor or GARO armor. I didn't farm it up because I couldn't wear it. If and when SE gets off their butt to fix it and lets my character wear that armor, I won't have it because I didn't earn it for the very short window it was available.

Are they going to rerun the items and events? Are they going to make previous FOMO items available again so that people who couldn't wear it previously and didn't farm it can have a chance at it? Are they just going to load those into the store and make Viera's buy items they could have had for free?
Am I supposed to farm up items I can't use and stash them away in the off chance that someday I can use them and will want to? The longer this goes on, the more questions start piling up.

I happen to check reddit and it's nice to see both the main sub and even the meme sub supporting Hrothgar/Viera wearing hats and calling SE out for their BS.

I've just been made aware that Yoshi-P visited the Chocobo server (JP datacenter) and answered some questions today. (Source is here: http://blog.livedoor.jp/umadori0726/.../61125701.html , I do not speak Japanese but got a translation from a Discord server; just to check, I did a Google translation and it supports the actual human translation so I'm safely assuming the human translation is the more accurate version)

Specifically relevant to this thread:

Q: Please add more hats for Viera!
A: We're working on adjusting the system for Viera and Hrothgar wearing head gear, please wait patiently!

Not gonna pretend it's much (at its core, it's just "Soon(TM)"), but it's the most significant update I've heard in a fairly long while, even checking other translated interviews and such.

Given the wording of "wait patiently", I'm not expecting the update in Dawntrail's release... but maybe we'll see something in the Dawntrail patches rather than having to wait forever?

We have all heard this so many times before but look where we're still at. They were supposed to be attempting it going forward in Endwalker but look at all the rewards and gear they release every patch that we can't even use.
"Wait patiently" is going to end up being in years at this rate. Maybe by the time the game hits maintenance mode in 8-10 years we can start to wear BLM or RDM hats.
