VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Nekuroi]

I won't change, cuz baby boy, but I really wish at least the AF gear would work. I know, PCT doesn't look like fits with Hrothgars, but I still wanna use the hat!!

Just wish they were more open about it

Still not seeing any sign of more hat accessibility or Hairstyles for both Viera and Hrothgar. I think it's beyond time for those exclusive hairstyles. At this point, I expect exclusive hats since female Hrothgar are coming.

These changes should happen during the course of Dawntrail if they aren't coming on launch. Also please stop trying to hide the fact that this isn't being addressed in marketing. We know what you're doing when you guys try to be semi-transparent on whether or not we're getting hats.

I am 100% okay with looking goofy with this post if we can wear more hats from the past and new ones on DT launch.

Well, the media tour is here and it doesn't look good for Viera being able to wear AF gear headgear again.
I don't know what it is with SE and designing gear expansion after expansion that 2 races cannot use. You'd think after 2 expansions of people requesting it, they would get the feedback.

They got it. They just don't want to dedicate the resources. They could hire freelance professionals via contract and have it done in a few weeks.

Less than a month until I can join this thread, woo! No, wait...

Fix it Squeenix! Need hats!

Viera are screwed regarding hats again. Gamer Escape posted pictures.

For the record, the page is currently saying "no hat for monk" but it's actually just a ribbon piece on the back and I've seen it working in other videos.

They had also initially incorrectly listed WHM and DNC as not working, but that was corrected before the link was shared here.

I said this last time and will say it again. AF Gear SHOULD ALWAYS WORK ON ALL RACES!!!!!
My goodness, it is just 1 set given to us every expansion to sell it to us!!!! And they can't even give us that? They can't work on it for a few more moments?
Especially with some gear not looking complete without the hat, like Astro, Red Mage and Bard!

Seriously though, I've been tired of "looking forward to it" since I realized I can't wear the Welkin hat back when viera was first added to the game and fast forward to 2024 there's still no update several years later... It's also beyond annoying at this point that they STILL keep making NEW headgear viera/hroth can't wear. It truly can't be that difficult to fix so we could actually glamour properly...

It doesn't come from anywhere in particular, but at times it feels like SE is so focused on this idea that "if we fix this, we have to fix it ALL at once" that they ignore the fact that simply doing nothing instead comes off as looking much worse...?

Adding in the ability for Viera and Hrothgar to wear all hats moving forward, even if all past hats were still unwearable until they went back and fixed them, would be a sign of progress and I think would give a lot of us much more hope than the near-zero hope we currently have. But instead, it feels like they're holding themselves to this standard where if they can't fix it all at once, it's not a priority, because it would seem half-baked.

Which just results in them doing nothing, and they don't even bother to give frequent assurances. Instead, it's one comment about how they're "totally working on it, please believe us with zero evidence" every three years, if we're lucky. The most in-game "proof" we got that they're even aware of the issue was the Fall Guys rewards, where we got shrunken miniature versions of the crossover's hats - and they didn't even bother ever talking about that anywhere.

Not having AF hats work is bad form.
And where the hell are the exclusive hairstyles to compensate us for this?
I'll even take some hairstyles with bolted on headgear if it means more variety.

Not too add to much fuel to the fire but based on the press tour, there appears to be a male miqo NPC who has the male viera hairstyle.
They better not be considering porting our hairstyles to other races before we even get all of the mogstation glams and hairstyles.

That is just a trick they use to make some NPCs more unique from the player models.

It's also why this no named background Hrothgar can add some salt because he is using another face's hairstyle.
