6.2 Hrothgar Update

[XiRon]

I am once again begging the devs to acually TRY in 6.2 with regards to hrothgar. I would really like to use hairstyles that have my ears attached. I would just be tickled pink to use my Rainmaker hair or Windcaller. Windcaller is only obtainable from bozja, the hrothgar homeland, and YOU KNOW hrothgar en masse want that hair option. If you google hrothgar hair or windcaller you will likely see modded hrothgar wearing it on the front page.

Please also do the very, very bare minimum and let us use all hrothgar race-specific hair options. It took 3 years to get one other hair related to specific faces, are you kidding me? Three years for one faces hair. That should have been fixed by 5.1 at LEAST not an entire expansion later. I am asking the devs to actually show they care for once because leaving hrothgar abandoned for 3 years and then giving us 1 unfantasiaed hair option is utter bull. 3 years to get nonrace-specific hairs at the cost of ears? I hope the next glamour rips off Au Ra scales if racial traits can be removed.

Its been 3 years and I'm sick to death of waiting. Hrothgar are not asking for Yoship to sacrifice his firstborn, they are not holding SE employees hostage at gunpoint so I don't know why you are treating these players so, so tremendously badly.

The fact that you couldn't even update """""new""""" hair options to retain our ears all 6.1 is revolting. You can fix a dragoon bug in a single fight or update a pair of glasses to be toggleable on mviera but can't keep preexisting EARS on a races head? Come on already.

Please, please do not make hrothgar wait until 7.0 to get anything worth our subscription fees. It cannot this hard, we all know it isn't.

It's a serious issue when modders are doing far better work than experienced devs.

I have incredibly limited modelling/animation experience and even I know how to put a hat on a model and rig it up in under an hour.

Their lack of care will never not be insulting.

Inb4 "modders don't have restrictions"

Like ok? Super? What ARE these restrictions and WHY do they very obviously only apply to hrothgar getting hair or hrothgar and viera getting headgear (love the 5 hats hrothgar can wear that clip so atrociously into every non-Zlatan hair style its like "why bother").

Modders don't have restricions BUT they do not have the 14 teams resources either, much less manpower or training. The extremely popular hrothgar/viera hat mod is by 1 (ONE!!!) person who is still in freaking college, AND they aren't being paid to update said mod either, they just do.

If this is going to continue to be such a stabbing thorn in the devs sides, then the first mod they need to look at adding like they talked about in april is the hrothgar/viera hat and hair mods. Then they can never think about it again because literally everything in the game has been made to work for these races already by people who are untrained, unpaid, and do not even "main" hrothgar or viera, they just care about those players not getting needlessly screwed over every single patch.

sadly only when people stop play then (at last 90% of the cornet players that do) the devs see a problem at all. like think of it from the point of the devs, they don't need to do the work and people use the product . why will they do the work?

To be fair, that's most jobs. Just do well enough to not get fired and you are set! Why shoot for the stars and take risks when people just want instant gratification to the point your livelihood depends on it? lol

The devs do the bare minimum they have to so that they keep production cost down and maximize profit, modders actually care about what they're doing.

Wouldn't the answer to that just be quitting then? Or at the very least drastically reducing the amount of time you play FFXIV? If you only care about the story content, you can enjoy an entire expansion's worth of content in 3 months and waiting for the last patch to do so. Buying 3 months of subscription at once is cheaper and waiting for the last patch means you'll like be able to buy the expansion on a 50% (or more) discount. You can safely enjoy the majority of an expansion while drastically reducing the money given to Square Enix (Yoshi-P already encourages people to take breaks and play other games anyway)

Hope you don't own a house, lol.

I don't and at some point I'll probably just give up and pay/play less myself. The other content I enjoy comes out far enough apart that I can easily be subscribed for half a patch cycle instead of it's entirety. Not to mention that some content, say Hildibrand or the trial quest chains, feel nicer to play in one chunk rather than split out over patches (IMHO anyway because that's how I played all the old content after starting last April.)
