VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Yencat]

Unless they've recently removed it there is actually a warning when you create a Hrothgar or a Viera saying that certain hairstyles and headgear will be unavailable, it wasn't there originally but they added it a little while after Shadowbringers launched after complaints about it.

EDIT: Just tried to create a Viera and there was no warning, either I'm starting to lose it or they considered those 6 hairstyles they added enough to remove the warning.

Maybe it's only after you use a Fantasia? I could've sworn it was there after character creation as well but it was so long ago I took the screenshot I honestly can't remember. It mentions "changes" so it may well have been after a Fantasia use.

I agree it should definitely be there during character creation though, even though you get a free Fantasia it's not logical for a new player to think they'd have to preemptively Google about playable race issues with hairstyles and headgear.

Just here to complain a bit more over all the hairstyles I have gathered that I can't use which makes it harder to make glams since the few hairstyles we have clip with alot of gear.

Also still confused about the chosen 6 hairstyles (although I love the karen one). Hopeful that we will get more soon, please gives us more soon I just want what I paid for like everyone else tyvm!

*frustrated noises*

I am feeling the itch as well but I always regret it when I fantasia, I just love how my bunny looks and no other character I have created comes close. I just wish miqotes and au ras were taller. Would love to be able to use the hairstyles I purchased for real money at least.

Optimist: actual new hairstyles, and Hroth CC is overhauled and their hair and face are completely separated and can use the aesthetician freely

Pessimist: face 2, the most popular face/"hair" gets copy pasted into the other 3 and call it a day. Still need to Fantasia

Realist: still need Fantasia, but all 8 hairstyles are copied onto each of the 4 faces, making a total of 32 "faces" to choose from.

If the word from the grapevine isnt a liar.

6.1 we WILL see New hairstyles. And their hair and face will be separated. Likely this means the aestheticism will be used freely
No need to Fantasia, an issue I personally believe was due to them taking shortcuts to get things done in time for 5.0

This is everything I want... Let it be real...


I can't see them updating the hairs for hrothgar and still making you buy fantasia to change it... I believe they're not that evil.

What makes me uncertain of separating hair and face is that you can customize the hair through the facial tab, like removing bangs or braids, so I'm not sure if they'd either make those details compatible with all hairstyles, or remove the option altogether. That's why I think the "easier" solution would be to just copy paste more variations of each face with each different hairstyle, like how they did to add derplander's stubble.

I think they will do it like they do with viera, have each of the hairstyles in 2 variations, with and without the added detail, and then remove the detail from the facial features tab. So it would look like we have more hairstyles but its the same hairstyle with a variant.

I think this makes sense. But we are just speculating.
Also heard word that some features on the faces are being adjusted, things like the Face 4 Ronso Horn being Usable on all the faces.
But, gotta wait till March 4th, with great hope we will see and hear good things!
