Viper Hood shouldn't hide Miqo'te Ears

[HeyMcFly]

In the Viper showcase, the character race used to show off the new class Viper is none other than a male Miqo'te.
The hood he is wearing is leather, obviously light and is pretty loose fitting. It's not a thick or a heavy metal headpiece.

Where are his ears? It baffled me because here, SE is showing a new class, talking about a graphical update but they can't seem to show Miqo'te ears? We do have hats that have cut-outs for Miqo'te ears in game, so it is possible. I just don't believe there is a proper excuse.
Stop hiding Miqo'te ears, please! I hope when DT is out, the Viper hood is fixed to show Miqo'te Ears on the miqo'te race.


Off topic-(and please make future headpieces with Viera in Mind)

"Yeah, but doing that requires more work." - SE probably

The people designing gear don't seem to know that some races have some non-human features.

Back during ARR & HW they still did design some gear around the different races, for Miqo'te they either had holes for ears on hats or actually designed additions on helmets to account for the ears.

Then they slowly just started adding pockets that barely matched the textures.

And then finally they just started hiding ears.

I agree I hope that they end up fixing this, it's really annoying. I probably would not use the hood myself because of this reason, but I'm also really picky when it comes to glamours. Hiding ears in hoods has always annoyed me when I am a miqo, and even in hoods for au ra the horns clip through it really badly, I'm not sure how you would really fix that though and at least you still see them somewhat, other than just completely chopping off the ears on miqo's with hoods, or hats.

Honestly, at this point it's more surprising when they release a hat that doesn't hide my ears. It's why I keep forcing myself into doing PvP even though I don't really care for it: the headgear for the series level 25 rewards actually have ear pockets.

You guys get hats?
Joking aside, yeah it would be nice to add that sort of flair to characters.

I hope it's just because they aren't/weren't done with the racially adjusted model for the hood when they made that showcase, yet a small voice at the back of my mind wonders if the viera/hrothgar headwear debacle has broken them to the point where they just don't care any more and everyone mostly just gets the hyur version of new headgear because they can't handle the workload of fixing what they half-assed and threw in the towel.
As the presumably AF gear I hope that piece, at least, gets the attention it deserves.

Hiding racial features is reason #2 why I hate how hoods work in this game and generally refuse to use them. Reason #1 is that they get rid of your hair completely and make you bald. I get that it's for clipping reasons but it bothers me that you can't even have your bangs or something. And yes I know that requires extra work by making different versions of all the hair models and it's probably a huge factor in why Viera and Hrothgar lack hair and hat compatibility. But that doesn't mean I can't still dislike it.

this tbh, the ear being tailored in to hats is kinda dumb to me, when i put on a toboggan hat i have never had one with human shaped ear slots cut in to he side of it..

I dont get this, is this some weird furry clothing fantasy or something??
