VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Caro178]

There's basically going to be not major updates to either race, the other poster is high on copium that SE actually cares about a race they have spent basically no time in the last 4 years giving updates to. 7.0 being the fix for both races is only the popular narrative now because it used to be 6.0 was going to be the patch to fix viera and hroths. Look how that turned out, majority of AF headgear unusable, majority of raid headgear unusable, majority of reward headgear unusable, a handful of 5-6 year old headgears everyone else is done with. Don't expect much with 7.0. It'll hurt less when SE underdelivers again and leaves these races as feature incomplete for the next 2+ years.

They update them more than every other race every major patch, so yes, I see no reason why that won't continue. There is a clear trend and it hasn't been interrupted by anything so far. I am not on copium of any kind. I watched almost everything I wanted for my character get added over the course of this expansion. Other people, however, are on serious Doomium and that is just as bad if not worse.

I think my satisfaction does rely a lot on the fact that I don't give half a heck about hats. Headgear is not the be-all-end-all for me. If it was I wouldn't be playing Viera, lmao.

Yeah I get taht from the fact you show up in every thread giving feedback about lack of headgear or features on viera just to tell everyone else to shut up and praise SE for doing less than the bare minimum to update the races they made.

I think everybody in the playerbase would call them out on it if we don't see female Hrothgar, since we'd have been without our other gender for 3 expansions now.

Uh, I think you have too much faith in the average playerbase. Unless female Hrothgars are sexy, most people simply aren't going to care. That said, we'll have to see, I don't see 7.0 as some magic fix to all the game's issues. In fact, I'm expecting a much more toned down reset of sorts. Whether or not female Hrothgars are part of it remains to be seen. Here's hoping though.

Idk what I expected…

[Caro178]

Yeah, definitely NOT the hairstyles I wanted with what was left. Two of basically the exact same short style as well as two of my least wanted Modern Aesthetics. That said, Samsonion will probably get some use for folks and I don't think any of them looks bad. Wind Caller just happens to be among my least favourite styles in the game. I am happy to know we got it because that means Hrothgar should have a better idea when they will get it. 7.0 looks like the likely drop time for Hrothgar Wind Caller based on this.

Disappointed Hrothgar styles didn't get unlocked. I was taking it with a grain of salt, but even so it is very unfortunate. Either I did misinterpret the image or it is still a work in progress. Apologies for getting hopes up in any case.

Don’t worry about it, neither of us would have known what they actually end up adding in game and to be fair, anyone would have expected the actual popular hairstyles to be added instead of yet again short unisex. Samsonian is nice I guess, Ill have to see how it looks on my character.

For sure. At the end of the day it is still more options and not every option needs to be for me.

On a positive note I think these hairstyles just prove how gorgeous, feminine and stoic fem Viera really are. I think they all look good on my character and give her different vibes even if they aren't hairstyles I would have picked out of an immediate lineup. The braid is pretty unique and they all have nice hairlines for the head accessories (tiaras, flowers) we have access to at the moment.

Two of basically the exact same short style

Everyone else has those two short styles one after the other, and in the long run I would rather they do everything as systematically and consistent with the order of the other races' list as possible. Different people are still going to prefer one style or the other out of the two.

Don't fret about patch by patch. The final goal is having everything available. We will get there.

Well, you see, the problem now is they already DID skip styles in order (fringeless wavy from last patch and now the bun as well as the bob) so if you're hoping they do it systematically and consistently they already stopped. We kind of don't really know what they're going to add now and when. The order was broken as of last patch and continues to be more broken this one.

I agree with you, of course. The goal is getting them all and we will eventually, but this patch is undeniably a big disappointment in terms of options compared to last patch. On an individual level I think they are all fine and I hope folks get use out of them. If you're looking for someone fretting you are responding to the wrong person tbh.

Yes, and I think that's disappointing. It's still not a reason to hope that they'll skip even more.
