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.

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.

Based on which hats can and can't be used by Viera it's more likely they never created a hat-friendly model for their hairstyles. Any hat that removes hair works, but any hat that doesn't is invisible. They need to update the models on the hair for both races and allow the real money hair to be used on these races. Doubly so that hroths' hair shouldn't be tied to a fantasia

This seems to be true for the most part. Strangely the Thug's Mug doesn't work on Viera, at least females.

Bad decisions by SE are not our fault.

Well

1. THere is literally no excuse for newer stuff considering, if its not a rehash of some old dungeon item, it should be created with viera and hrothgar in mind anyway since it has to be modeled anyway

2. The nose is a literal *sphere*. How hard is to to just stick a sphere over their nose? >_>
