VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SturmChurro]

Oh look, another hat....we most likely cant use lol

If a viera or hroth is not shown, we can't use it. Also, that hat has hat hair, so that is the given on not being able to use.

Yep, at this point, those are just rules.

Sturm, your character is so cute! Like I am obsessed with how pretty she is! Great job!

Also I am happy with the new hair, it looks great and doesn't seem like it gives 5 head vibes (at least from that angle)

Why is the crown scaled down and turned into a mini crown, instead of just going around the ears? It looks so lame compared to the other races. I just don't understand such decisions.

Meanwhile I'm here thinking the tiny crown is what I wanted for all my characters and Viera got lucky.

It's not even surprising at this point. Every update has more gear that 2 races can't use or has weird restrictions on it. What is the holdup and why do they keep releasing gear and rewards some of their players just can't use?
I feel like this has been an issue for years even before this thread and this thread is 300 pages long of just examples and complaints.

Just get it over with SE, give viera and hroth players 1 free fanta off their race you don't want to keep feature complete and let's just get this over with. Clearly don't want to improve these races or actually design things around them so just let us get off it without paying 10 USD in your cash shop to move to a race with actual support from devs.

Thanks! I actually changed it to attend a venue (masquerade) to fit better with my mask, but it is a pretty good little look! Also, fall guys cap fit for viera is kind of cute:

If Female Hrothgar come out in Dawntrail and are able to use headgear based on feedback, but Viera and Male Hrothgar are still unable to use them I think I'm going to be genuinely upset.
Given the current direction wtih headgear, this seems to be a real posibility which is scary.

The most likely outcome is actually the opposite: that they won't. That said, if female Hroths can wear hats, then it'd be likely males will be able too. At least, I don't think there's anything male Viera can wear that females can't, is there?

I just... want the option to hide my ears and wear hats like the werewolf ears. I don't understand why that's so hard.

Probably because a lot of people do not want this to be the solution. If they adapted headgear by simply turning every race with weird ears into a Hyur many players of those races would be up in arms. There is already a fair amount of upset about Miq'ote ears getting entirely covered by a lot of recent headgear. Similarly some people hate the ear socks and like you would rather they always get squashed by headgear. So who do they listen to? You or them?

In other news I'm seeing some comments around that an examination of this patch's data by the Viera/Hrothgar hat modder seems to suggest there is evidence of work starting to be done to adapt headgear to Viera. The new hairstyle is flagged for hat hair from the get-go on them which has never happened before, and it's not a mistake because Hrothgar don't have the same flag. Obviously there's nothing to say this is coming in 7.0 because it seems like the work has just started, but it is something so I thought I would mention it.
