Clown outfit yet viera+hroth can't wear the NOSE? Are you serious right now?

[goldenophanim]

Like, dude, this isn't even about viera or hrothgar limitations anymore. Hide the top hat part of the model if it's so hard to fit, whatever, but what is the point of giving a CLOWN OUTFIT reward and locking out two races from wearing the literal most identifying part of the costume?

Don't try to justify it with model limitations, the nose itself is a literal sphere that could have been fitted onto the limited races the same as literally any other. Feels bad, man.

It was expected, but it was still a shame to see. I think I'm actually heading back to Midlander. lol Not because of this specifically, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back for me I guess.

Aw man, I just bunny'd today, and that is sad news, right off the rip. The struggle is real.

[Jybril]

The pain and struggle continues...but also LMAO because they've done nothing
but screw these races to the ground at every chance.
Like holy yikes. It's actually so bad it's getting comical to me. xD

It's probably a resource issue. They stated way back with shadowbringers that the heads on the two races are not using the same frame. That basically means that for them to get hats, the dev team would have to recreate every single helmet and hat in the game twice over just for those two races.

Should've held those two races back until full completion.

They have no excuse at this point, and haven't for a long time now. Don't use a different face model if you can't or are unwilling to adjust gear. We're now over three years since Viera and Hrothgar were introduced and they still haven't figured out how to design hats consistently. It's downright embarrassing.

That's not how it works. I assume by frame they mean either from-scratch 3d, or a different skeleton. None of those things make the porting (for lack of a better word) any different than it is for the other races.
The actual reason it's harder is to reshape and adapt the 3d models around viera ears and hrothgar head shapes, which okay, I agree it's a hassle, but 100% does NOT apply to placing a sphere on the nose.

I wish they had a version with just the clown nose

That's the compromise I'm asking for
