New hrothgar hairstyles are really bad.

[reivaxe]

It's looking more and more like hrothgar probably would need those actual racial unique hairs if they are going to look any good. Or at least SE adjusting these a lot more than they seem to do now.

To be blunt. I think MALE Hrothgar are a lost cause when it comes to hair until 7.x's graphics updates. They were simply never designed with the thought of having to share hair with others races and trying to make things work as they stand is very much "Square peg in a Circle hole". They asked for feedback on "Shared hair vs VERY few and far between unique hairs" and ended up deciding that share hair with ears is the best option.

Perhaps with the higher specs and the new shaders and such being done on player characters and their hair in 7.x it'll be easier to add in hair tuffs where the ears emerge from the hair ... but they're not gonna make human hair look great on these dudes as they currently stand, and it's clear they know it doesn't look great. This tom-foolery is all the reason I need to think that Female Hrothgar are gonna be designed in a way that won't condemn them to this fate.

I'm betting they could make the hair look quite a better right now if they wanted to. I think they are just looking for an easy solution that the community will accept. Of course they know it doesn't look great, they have to, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't require as much work, in my opinion. With female hrothgar, I'd be quite interested to see if and how much they will try and improve the process.

The ponytail is pretty bad for that in general tbh. Lalas can fit the entire Code Lyoko theme song on their forehead with that ponytail lol.

Padudu, why do you always manage to get a laugh out of me?

It's always a wonder how stuff like this can get approval.

Sigh...Yeah, we need custom made Hrothgar hair styles, I have zero faith on those hair ports.

that would probably take a lot of time since the hairstyles theyve been adding have to be stretched and remodelled in some areas so they fit on their funny shaped heads

That sounds like a them problem. Instead of half assing the races, they should have skipped them and released them when they were ready. And I mean, REALLY ready, with enough hairstyles/hats working. They have the budget now, and glamour is literally endgame for 75% of the playerbase. People want to look good, and this looks terrible.

I'd honest to go be ok with them fixing shit like that and the Glamour system, rather than getting Island Sanctuary (and I love Island Sanctuary).
