VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[LuciaMirain]

I think it's fine to complain if you don't like them, but I agree it's good to take into account the fact that they're not necessarily handpicked based on what looks good on either Hrothgar or Viera. The legacy unlocks seem to follow some sort of pattern at least, but the Modern Aesthetics are pretty arbitrary.

What is the pattern?

What is the pattern?

For the most part they seem to be working down the list by how they're numbered, while the Modern Aesthetics has more random jumps. There's a version for the female hairstyles floating around somewhere as well but I can't find it right now.

Reminder to every hrothed gar here. Two viera styles in 6.3 pvs weve seen are Modern Aesthetics, those being Adventure and Saintly. Now, if they go the launch ew route and give viera 5 MA styles, great. If they go 6.1/2 route, theres only three, and that will be greatly disappointing.

What disappointment? Where are you getting your list from that only counts Modern Aesthetics styles?

Viera have gotten six new styles with each patch, whether that involves MA or freely available styles. They didn't get five the first time and then less in subsequent updates.

For a while it seemed they were working on the oldest styles available from various sources, plus brand new styles being available alongside other races (hence the unfortunate timing of the 2B hair coming out around the time they started adding hairstyles), but then they seemed to switch to working from the most recent styles backwards.

No no. The three im counting are hairs people have to work for or buy. The 3 styles mviera can use in CC have generally been very disappointing to look at, with 6.2s styles being offensively bad.
Id rather them do Modern Aesthetics over Character Creation first bc most of those styles are hair options people generally like or else have to pay real moneycash for in the online store.

I found the female version and have been ticking off the hairstyles vieras have gotten. It looks to be the ponytail and/or the wavy hairs next, yes. Modern aesthetics Idk, could be any. I am hoping for the plait or styled for hire.

I think most Modern Aesthetics would look really awful on Hrothgar, with a large proportion of them being cute or feminine hairstyles. All the remaining hairstyles I'm interested in are from CC.
I also disagree that real money hairstyles should get priority since I'd rather not have the only good options we'll ever get this expac be gated behind a paywall.

I remember getting the nier hair with no ears. I have waiting the entire shadowbringers for hair. I have already been at the lowest disappointment possible.

So far, as some might say.

Whether you personally approve of them or not, they still got six new hairstyles, not three.

I think it's also important that new players get immediate access to a range of choices, which requires hairstyles to be openly available in CC, and in the long run it is better for their list to be arranged in the same order as other races. That seems to require releasing them in the order they will permanently sit in, because newer styles aren't sorting to the bottom of the list.
