Thread: 6.2 Hrothgar Update

hi what's up fellow furries!

So can I have any hope for 6.2 or am I as delusional as people who think their house is haunted when really their house uses lead-based paint and asbestos and their brain is suffocating?
I would sure like at least to get all my racial hairs.
I would bother using viera wigs if they gave us our damn ears. Shouldnt be that hard they're attached to the skull unlike miqo or viera!

I would be very surprised if Hrothgar is mentionned at all in the upcoming live letter.

Totally expect all new gear/glam pics to forego using hrothgar cuz they still cant make hats worthwhile.
Even more expect Forum Attire to finally be made available and despite there being hrothgar and viera forum members in Sharlayan cutscenes, the veiled hat wont work. Part of the Forums UNIFORM wont work for its own members.

They'll probably reveal a mogstation item with a hrothgar in the back unable to wear the hair/hat that comes with it and that's it.

Yknow I really hoped femgar would drop this expansion because they plopped male viera and 1 race needing two expansions to get its opposite sex is laughable but I guess thats the effort and care I should expect by now.

Remember before the Shadowbringers benchmark, when Yoshida promised that Hroths and Viera would have far more customization than the original races? When that proved not to be the case, the story became that Vieras and Hroths would receive more exclusive "racial" hairstyles, and hats and hairstyles going forward would be made with all the races in mind. Instead, here we are. Hroth and Viera players have been missing holiday wear and more--like Hroth's ears in the latest April Fool's joke, that wasn't really.

Aside from Hroth ears being cut off with those "new" adapted hairstyles, on my bun at least a few of them have a ridiculously high forehead, and hairlines that float out in space, unattached to their neck.

Keep in mind, this is the game that the fanbase fawns over as so much more ~transparent~ and ~caring~ than those other MMOs. But as OP said, it's been years--most of which involved no updates, excuses at the most, and letting Hroth players find out the hard way for too long that they can't use Jandelaine, they had to spend real money on a Fantasia for a haircut. They didn't even warn you of the incompatibility of some Mogstation items for the longest time, like the Eternal Bonding hairstyle. It boggles me this billion dollar small indie company can't do better than that, especially when the Hrothgar and Viera were one of the major selling points in advertisements of Shadowbringers.

But they really just don't seem to be trying at all.

Maybe we'll get Yoshida's classic crocodile tears again this update? I've really come to expect no more than that.

Oh lordt.
I remember when he asked players to remember theres real people working on the game and to be nicer but then in one pll he gets a question about more hrothgar lady news and he LAUGHS at it then 6.1 comes and he and the coanchor are in hysterics over hrothgar hair.
But the paying customer who gets treated like a joke every single patch and pll has to be considerate. Sure wish some preachers listened to their sermons!

Yoshida's hypocrisy lost me years ago. Remember the ToS, how you don't abuse your fellow players? Yoshida bodyshamed a cosplayer live onstage at Fanfest 2014. The cosplayer wanted to give him one of the weapon props they had made. Yoshida's response? "Real ninjas should diet/work out more" and laughter.

Imagine doing that to someone who loved your game, in front of thousands of people-- especially as a game director with a far greater presence. When the cosplayer placed third, a lot of players called it a "pity win" and got angry a ~real~ cosplayer didn't get the prize.

No one deserved that kind of treatment, and afaik there was never an apology. Not even the waterworks.

Par the course, I guess! Maybe we'll get better hairstyles attached to an NFT purchase.
