Any Word on Bad Hrothgal Armor Rigging?

[VicariousXIV]

I know it's been mentioned before, I know some people don't mind it, and I know it's unlikely to ever get addressed, but currently on some hopium that maybe I missed some discussion on it or at least some acknowledgement about how atrocious the chest and arm gear looks on hrothgals cause of the shitty rigging? I mean most glamours look so fucking bad that I quite literally find that it makes them unplayable for me, even the NPC hrothgals around Tural look ridiculous if they're wearing any kind of armor, like it's so blatantly obvious how ridiculous it looks that I'm dumbfounded it exists as it does still....

So, yeah, any word from any devs or something on this? Even if they confirmed that it was intentional to ruin them like this it would at least be enough for me to stop hoping for a fucking fix.

I think everyone is just sitting waiting for the next Live Letter in regards to a lot of these problems.

Though honestly, if mHroth and Viera haven't heard anything about headwear for this long, the changes of fHroth getting anything is slim to zero.

That's my main fear as well as my expectations.....

The one saving grace in my hopium fueled head is that when it comes to the headgear thing they've always said "it's a resources/limitations of the system" thing, despite modders being able to do it seemingly fairly easily, where as in this case it clearly looks like a fucking bug, the armor just doesn't fit and it's not cause of some limitations in capabilities or w/e, it's just a scaling/rigging mistake that has annoyed a fair amount of people.

But again they might just say "intentional" to avoid having to actually put time and effort into fixing it, if they even ever acknowledge it, hoping they do cause they have with the hats thing, their responses have all been awful on that subject but again just hoping if they commented on that then they should comment on this...... you'd think at least.

My alt is a hrothgal and it's awful how many pieces of glamour I can't use because they look absurd. It's already bad enough they can't wear hats, but chest and arm gear doesn't even fit. Completely unfinished.

The next letter is going to be spicy that's for sure

I'm not sure I'd consider this "unfinished," which kind of makes it even worse, cause it feels like they did "finish" it, they just did a shitty job and either didn't actually QC their work or saw this awful shit and just shrugged it off as being done..... if it just wasn't completed that would honestly be better cause then we could expect them to actually complete their work.

I hope so, but there's a part of me that expects the live letter to NOT be spicy which will cause the forums to become spicy in response lol

I havent played a female hrothgar, and i havent payed close enough attention to the npc's to notice any bad rigging on them.

Does anyone have any screenshots showing some examples of the bad rigging? Or any specific pieces of gear i can try on to see how bad it is?
I know standards are pretty low for viera and hrothgar, but i'm curious just how bad they messed this up..

I'm not on my personal computer so I don't have any of the screenshots I've taken atm, can offer those later, but a good example is Rral Soj from the metalworking deliveries quest chain for Wachumeqimeqi. She has on the Blacksmithing chest piece which is mostly just a chest wrap then her arms have on these MASSIVE oversized bands around her biceps and even her gauntlets poof out to match the size of those armbands despite them being so much larger then her arms, to the degree that you can actually see the "unused grey texture" linking those bands to her arms since they don't fit otherwise.

Again I can offer screens later, but you can go check her out. You could probably also google it and find a bunch of examples, I know Reddit has had several posts with screens a while back.

EDIT: Also a set to get a good view of how ridiculous it can be would be Clive's armor, forget the name of it atm, but try that on a hrothgal and you'll see the issue with the arms and shoulders.

That's giving them too much credits, they might throw us a bone and give us more glamour dresser space but there is now way they're gonna address any controverted points likes the poor quality of the msq writing or the horrendous EN VA of the one we shall not say the name.
