Fix hoods/hats/anything head related on all races

[Newosan]

Another post about the issue with Viera and Hrothgar incompatibility and lack of polish when it comes to headgear in this game.

Yes I could fantasia to another race, yes it's not a big issue but it's ultimately something that does make my playing experience (and many others) a little less enjoyable. It's far from my biggest gripe with the game however it is something I feel enough about to raise it.

Exhibit 1: The inconsistency on ears clipping through hoods/hats/helmets

Viper Hood on Male Viera


Two hoods that were released around the same time (One AF gear, one raid gear) and yet there is a massive difference in how they handle ears. This goes beyond just Viera as well, any race with ears that are not in the standard Hyur position suffer from this same issue.

Exhibit 2: Awful amounts of clipping with certain hairstyles

Whilst not the most egregious example it is one of the most recent and really highlights a lack of examination into these things. I want to be able to wear these items as intended and make cool glams with them but for some items this just isn't possible at all.

Exhibit 3: Most hats and headgear items just not working whatsoever for Viera/Hrothgar characters

I don't have an image example but it is something we all know. This is something that I believe is an extreme issue beyond just the basic gear in game. Cash-shop items that we pay real world money for have a pathetic disclaimer "This head gear will not be displayed when equipped by Hrothgar or Viera characters." for an item that we all get charged the same price and therefore expect the same amount of functionality for.

As I stated above, there are many "workarounds" to this issue that are acceptable for some people however I wish to again stress the importance in resolving this issue.

I find it absolutely pathetic that the modding community can get this done in a way that actually looks good, but a company with the kind of cash SE has puts out this... abomination.

Ahaha we use the same hairstyle and the clipping is so bad XD I could even forgive older hats not being useable but it's something the design team keep committing to even with new gear and it just makes them look so careless and negligent.
