With how little effort put into Hrothgar hair, I personally can't wait for females!

Except unless if they actually communicated and were more transparent. For example as i said, in this situation they could have done a poll to see which hairstyles hrothgar players would be interested in, rather than choosing it themselves and half adding it like they have now and then laughing about it.

And do you really think that the people who lost the poll wouldn't be pissed off and very vocal about it?

I'm not in any way excusing the mess, but this community makes a collective hobby of getting mad about every little thing.

This whole mess with the "new" hrothgar hairstyles is most definitely a time where we should (rightfully) be furious over such a lazy and haphazardly thrown together collection of possibly the ugliest hairstyles you could possibly put on giant muscular male cats

The number would be far less than what it is now, and we could at least say the devs tried and cared. This isn’t every little thing. This is an entire race hello? Maybe the community is getting mad lately because the devs are consistently showing how lazy they are and that they clearly don’t care about major aspects of the game. A poll gives a way for players to actually have a hand and say in an implementation.

The ones they picked were already a weird choice for Viera and even worse for Hrothgar, but the hairstyle contest was a community vote and a lot of people hate those in hindsight.

Not to mention leaving the votes open for everyone you'd have people throwing joke votes at ridiculous hairstyles that would "look funny" on Hrothgar and you're right back where you started just with added community infighting.

The funny thing is, I was originally just making a joke about how the fans get mad no matter what they do, and you're getting mad about it.

I've made my opinion clear, here and in other threads, that I agree the whole situation with both races is terrible, especially for Hrothgar. I'm not gonna bother trying to explain the joke anymore, because if you're this determined to just get mad about everything and assume everything is against you all the time, I don't have the interest or energy to keep up with it. Stay salty, bro.

Frankly I've always felt it was unacceptable that SE released Hrothgar needing Fantasia to change hairstyles. These new styles removing their ears feels like adding insult to injury. The race as a whole clearly didn't get enough dev time, likely due to the initial development being done at the same time as Viera.

At this rate maybe they'll side step the problem with female Hrothgar by not giving them hair at all like lionesses.

[Berret_Snow]

They are probably going to be small and petite, with no ears and no hair because it's too hard too add ears on something. No body either, just a floating head.

I'm super excited for femHroths....maybe for the wrong reasons but excited nonetheless lol.

edit: lol even ffxiv reddit is dunking on them now that's saying something.

Not sure what the point of this thread was, you use most of the OP whining about the male's hair.

Anyway, I expect very feminine bods that are taller than Thighlanders, some level of cat face, and now I'm 100% sure I can expect them to get all the same shared hair as Viera ... so I get to keep my 2B bob instead of being stuck with wonder if "Maybe the hair I like wont be for the face I like!" like I feel about Hrothgar males (Face 3 is the best imo, but that hair sucks).

It's a win in my book.
I can hope that, seeing as male Hrothgar were NEVER designed with the thought of using shared hair, they perhaps take this into consideration for the females designs so that they have their ears in a place that work with these wigs. But I'm fine with the "Cat wig" look, it's pretty much the idea I posted years ago because no one in their right mind would think Hrothgar's restrictions in hair would fly for females.

I thought people want female Hrothgar to look the same as male though?

lol, those people were what I thought of when I first saw the 2B one!
"You want them to be just as big and buff and hunched as the dudes? Have the same level of sexual dimorphism as GW2's Charr? There, take your 2B/ Karen hair and your nongender locked dress and pretend it's a female in 6.1 ... cause that's exactly what you asked for"

I'm actually looking forward to well made slightly-more-furry female miqote with none of the male Hrothgar restrictions. Just to drive the point home and pour some salt on the wound.

They've been telling us with the art, people don't want to see the writing on the wall.

I agree, the Charr are a great example of what they should be (or close enough at least). Anyway, don't worry, I'm sure you'll get your furry sexbomb instead.
