VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[grinkdaboy]

praying for the 5.0 hairstyle, aymeric, and lyon's hairstyles the most

I'm really looking forwards to Styled for Hire and Lyon's hairstyle, that would look so good on hroths! Gyr Abanian Plait would also look great, if we have those 3 I'm set!

Thanks to em-oh-dees, we can already see how some of the hairstyles may look

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.

That seems to be the case. They want to make the stuff you can unlock available for everyone. We did, after all, spent an entire expansion wondering why new stuff doesn't come suited for us. Most egregious example being the Lyon hair, since it comes in content that gives a spotlight to Hrothgars.

What I wonder now though are three things.

1 - Will future hairstyles fit us? Or will we be in a constant catch-up climb?
2 - Will the same apply to headgear? Do we need to clamour more for that?
3 - Will, when all's said and done, newer hairstyles also be made with our frame in mind? Because I feel like the answer to Iscah's "Whether you personally approve of them or not" is tied to the fact that there aren't that many hairstyles that fit Hrothgar heads and faces as well as they would humanoid faces.
And while I'm all up for personal expression, those tend to be niches who work really hard to make it work. I feel like they should also make hairstyles that can fit us. And they don't have to make them unique either, the Lyon hairstyle works fine, so too does Styled for Hire. Just saying, we need more like that than Long Hair With Pigtails #451.

Someone please let me know tomorrow which other hairstyles we got besides the side pony ^_^ hairs are always my new patch highlight xD

[Caro178]

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.

Not only that but one of the hairstyles in the preview isn't even Modern Aesthetics. It's a base game hairstyle. I get the push to temper expectations but folks need to at least make sure their facts are correct.



Catch my surprised Pikachu face when they get 6 (the 6 male Viera got in 6.1), not 2.

Honestly I did wonder about that one hairstyle I was like "wait, do we have to unlock that one?"

I thought that one was a base one.

Which is great. Because outside of the unlockable ones, there are more that also fit our frame really well ^^ Such as the Jack and Nine hairs from Type-0

Though

I don't understand why you guys are being so gung-ho about people and assuming we'll get 2 hairstyles.

"Oh you're getting your facts wrong". Okay, and? Honest mistake. People make mistakes. I've made them before as well, and hell, Iscah isn't any saint, they've gotten facts wrong quite often lately. And like...

Can you fucken blame them?

How would YOU guys react after the way Hrothgars kept being treated? You wouldn't have any expectation. You'd see things being advertised and be like "Yeah, no, I got no faith left".

So sorry but... that little "gotcha" moment you're asking for? I think you're being petty just for the sake of going "I told you so".

When really Square should be fostering back the goodwill they've been losing the past few years.

Yeah, people make mistakes. Like me. I misread it and was posting an edit about it. I realize now they were talking about the male Viera hair (Saintly Style), not the Hrothgar hair. I wasn't trying to "gotcha" or "I told you so" anybody - I just feel it's important that we keep the facts straight. Which is why I say that I made a mistake here.
