Hrothgar Feedback Thread

[Starshower]

I have some sort of hope they'll improve the hrothgar hairstyle situation in the next patch, either by adding ears to the "new" hairstyles or enabling the racial hairstyles to be used by any of the faces. If they do, that's great and people will have a bit less to complain about. If they don't, I'll change to roe because at this point I'm ready for a change. Either way, it can't be denied that hrothgar now have more customization than what they had before 6.1, so they are improving things albeit slowly.

I, at the very least, want hats to work. Glamour creation is one of the best ways of creative expression in the game and the fact we are limited to using so little head wear, which can make or break glams, is just frustrating. With the lack of hair options, you end up finding a lot of Hrothgar 'clones', despite our small playerbase, which can also kinda take you out of the experience. I just hope they fix the issues before it spirals into just most of the general Hroth community accepting the mindset that the devs 'hate' them, with the relationship between us Hroth player and the devs already showing large cracks.

I'm still holding my breath that they'll fix the issues some day, but even I'm 'running out of air'. Especially with 3 years of 'bandaid fixes', lack of communication, excuses and now removal of our Ears with the new hairstyles, one of the key traits of the Hrothgar.

Join us in our forum signature protest. A way to make clear what we want, in every post we make.
If you want to participate, just make a signature that asks for the hats, or you can copy mine if you prefer.
We want you for hats army

I'm praying and weeping and begging the first mod "they look into" adding officially is the h/v hat mod. They know every hroth and viera player wants REAL hats not...whatever the crap the darbar healing/casting hat that vanishes if you use Runar hair. It would mean they never have to work on headgear for two races again because every hat (currently) in game works via the mod, and some work BETTER than they did officially.

And Mr. Yell9w I must say you are the games best gposer all your compositions are DIVINE gb gb

I remember the devs saying they want to look into some features add-ons add to the game that give the game QoL it kinda needs at this point.

Hoping they do look into the Viera/Hrothgar Hat m*d and see that it's popularity, despite it being against ToS, really shows how much both races communities want it. Even if people don't usually wear hats, it's nice to have the option to choose rather than having no choice at all.

Haha! Thank you! <3

To keep this visible and to join the campaign for Hrotghars and Viera, we have this signature that I am (and so many others) are using. Join us if you think we deserve respect and completition as viable races for the game without relying on mods

And, please, try to keep this thread "alive" since the OP made perfect points and we deserve to reach the devs for them.

I fantad to au ra bc theyre able to wear hats and are the only other race thats nonhuman enough to be interesting to look at.
I really hope 7.0 gives hrothgar hats. All hats not just new crap in 7.0. Ive got hats on every glam plate now bc they add so much to this hair I really love it.
I was really hoping in 6.0 in lieu of the existence of femgar hrothgar would be getting new hats every patch in addition to hair but no. Still like 3 wearable headpieces that dont completely delete your hair or a lame circlet/pair of glasses.
I want hats at fanfest. That could be the whole dang show for all I care. No new job, no femgar designs, just 20 seconds of a hrothgar in an inn flipping thru the headpiece slot and lo-and-behold big popular hats like the neoishgard sets or the calfskin rider cap or some cowboyesque hats fitting and showing a hatted hair model.
I would love to fanta back to hroth in 6.5 when we get Styled for Hire, one of my two MOST WANTED hairs but since what I really want (windcaller) wont be til 7.0 bc god forbid hrothgar not be two patch cycles needlessly behind viera I may not. I enjoy being able to use the full breadth of the hat slot too much that a nonwindcaller hair may not make up for it.

[XianRo]

I say we riot if there's not GOOD hair in 7.0.

I will say, on the hat front, I have fallen so hard for these horns I got from the Gold Saucer. I just like how they look on my Hroth. But yes, ALL hats for everyone but especially Hrothgar. This is SE's biggest money maker. Hire an entirely additional team to get it done. I don't really care what anyone says, you do that kind of stuff for your most profitable game.

It always sticks in my side when they drop a new cash shop glam and- SHOCK, SUPRISE- hrothgar (and viera) get charged effectively more money for gear pieces that cease to exist on their characters and people are like "Oh it would take a lot of time and money to pay programmers to....do their job and make hats fit two player races" like I assure you with hundreds of thousands of hroth and viera in the game at 15+ dollars each theyd more than make up the money spent on modelling when two players feel like they actually get their moneys worth from a new purchase.

Im not hurting for alot of headgear on my Hrothgar, both my current Male Alt, and my Future Female Queen.
But the Hrothgar do deserve better, and I do hope they get alot of love next expansion. Its stupid and unfair how this race has been treated, and their excuses were understandable...at 1st. But now its literally just becoming an excuse, not even one worth defending anymore, especially after all of the patience we (well most of us) tried to have on this, and play nice about it.
Im even still being Charitable to them, but Im starting to run out of Patience and want to see some actual work being put into this race, and some acknowledgement that the Hrothgar exist. In terms of Headgear, and some more npcs (especially Voice Acted) would be nice to.

[kyyninen_kirahvi]

Now it's great hroths got some lore in Encyclopaedia Eorzea III. Now I hope there will be actually some in game in the future.

The headgear issue continues to demonstrate bad design. Their unwillingness to adress the issue is now just pure laziness.
