Viera :(

I don't stalk people on here and definitely do not remember everyone. Right now what you did is exactly defended SE.

How exactly? I stated the reality of the situation. That is it. If you think I am defending them, just because I type out a different outlook...? Whatever. I am done here.

I completely understand when the devs told us that enabling all previous in game head pieces to Viera would be very difficult. But seriously ignoring this for new head pieces is just downright lazy. The new pvp set looks amazing but Viera and Hrothgar cannot use the headpiece!! Seriously?

The questions when that happens:

1)Is the helmet a full-helm? Aka not shows any hair underneath
2) The helmet's structure allows the ears of any shape or size to be there without clipping horribly through anything?

It seems those are the criteria when making new helms available.Some helms literally have no space above to have ears exist without being pierced by the helm's structure.

But despite that, there are still a ton of helms that can work just fine, like bandanas, caps, small hats, hoods. There's literally nothing above that can be an "ear hazard"... But then, they need to make the Viera exclusive hairstyles adaptable to hats - which means when you put on a hat your hair sorts of get into "hat mode". What seems to be that Viera's unique styles didn't get that feature because originally they weren't planning to add any hat at all.

Didn't see it mentioned in the thread but may have overlooked it. Just for the record (and for educational purposes only, thank you SE) there are already multiple mods that have enabled and correctly scaled many if not all of the available hats and helmets for Viera. Don't buy SE telling you it's too hard or can't be done.

Yet they choose to ignore those other massive threads when people demand something. Looks like making male vieras was a more convenient demand for them huh?

Massive threads, constantly mentioning it on social media, bringing it up in tons of Live Letter Q&A threads, threatening to unsub if they didn't get them, the list goes on. People wouldn't shut up about them so SE gave them what they asked for and warned players they weren't going to be implemented to the same standards right away as the other races.

Yeah, not a fan of this. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I completely understand not going back and changing every piece of existing head gear in the game to work with Viera, but there's no excuse for brand new gear designed and released after Viera were introduced to not have a version that works for Viera. And this is doubly true when it's a set specifically designed as a piece intended as a specific reward for completion of specific content (aka not just dungeon gear or random crafted gear).

Unless they add the hair deformations on viera no headgear that affects hair will ever be on them no matter if it comes out today or 6 years ago, for the most part their ingame system takes care of the gear scaling btw, they even had a blogpost about this.

EDIT: Okay, realized this thread was about the budget sauron cosplay why the hell is a fully closed helmet not enabled on viera and hrothgar?? Literally just enable the flag ???

Guess they don't remember your thread on SE and their problem with tails and capes clipping.

I just want to add that Hrothgars can use the new PvP head gear (Archfiend).

I have no doubt that a "fix patch", made by the players themselves, will be released soon =)
