Hrothgar Feedback Thread

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

This is because Miqo'te ears aren't attached to their head model. Thus you can move them around to fit the hairstyles you want. Hrothgar can't do that because the ears are a part of the head itself.



Except this isn't hollow rethoric. Please read the posts.

I prefaced it by pointing out constraints, be it technological or inherent to the development itself. You listed all those "factors for the solution not being here", yet not only did I mention them, I also mentioned how neither of them excuses the way this race has been treated.

Yes, we did know the devs wanted a bestial race. Yet not only do their actions past telling us there was a desire not match said desire in the slightest, we'd also be entirely acting on hearsay.
They might not hate hrothgar, and that wasn't the implication. But Hrothgars have been treated with dismissal. Excuses such as "Oh the ears are too hard" when they are not and third party tools have gotten around it. Work which has been publicly streamed. 2B Peanut Head, when we know most other hairstyles in the game are adjusted to fit their races, or were in the past.
But at this point I'm repeating what I've already written.

"ignorant ideas like "Its a Billion Dollar Company" because that doesn't mean anything nor does it prove any point"
Except... it is, and it does. Because a dingy old company wouldn't have the resources Square Enix has to make the quality they've made in other games. This is, by current standards, a low-end PS3 game. They are a company known for being avant-garde in the 3D department. Always have been, and that's even been such a facet they wanted to show, it ended up being part of why 1.0 failed. It's not an ignorant idea. And Hrothgar aren't the only ones with such issues; look no further than Viera foreheads.

What is ignorant and factually irrational is dismissing such factors so readily.

This is rational, because it's clear the dev team has either been making decisions without being properly informed, making content in a rushed fashion, or both. Merely understanding "players aren't satisfied" isn't enough if you have no idea what your next step should be.

I didnt say Hollow...I said Invisible. Because its made up and non-existent to say the Devs dont care about Hrothgar. You can't prove that, you made it up.
If this were true, Hrothgar wouldnt exist in the 1st place, nor would we be getting the Females...they wouldnt even acknowledge it if this were true. There is more to take care of in the game, so its not a wild idea to consider these things are being worked on, just slowly. And I gave room to the idea that things can still be fixed, and maybe we can see improvements when the Females are Produced, because unlike the Male Hrothgar, dev time was split between making them alongside the Viera. And as seen with the Male Viera, having more dev time to focus on ONE race/Gender can lead to better results. So I still put stock in the idea that the males should see fixes and improvements along the females.

I argue that its not a good excuse. None of us work for the company, and even if you have the vaguest idea about how another company works, doesnt mean all companies work the same. Also have you considered how many of those resources are already being used? Upkeep on expenses, other games and other projects? To just sit here and say Oh they are a Million Dollar company so they can just fling money willy nilly...is pretty ignorant.
And we dont know if they have no idea what the next step should be...we arnt there...we arnt devs. We arnt managing possibly a million different things. A Modder having enough free time to alter code in a game thats isolated and only effects what is on their screen, is not the same as working on the actual coding of the game that would effect the whole system.
