Viera hat compatibility is tied to hair styles

[Heavenchild]

If they can't fix this, they should at least give us the option to hide Viera ears while wearing a hat. It might look silly, but it's probably the best option.

The ears aren't the problem. As far as I know, the problem is the missing hairstyle variation for hats and that Viera have a different headshape than other races. So hats are often not fitting and hair is not squishing.

I have no clue why they did it this way.

Just female have a different head style too... when they announced the males they said they have a more standard head shape that could allow for hats, but yet even the male toons can't wear them. I can see why they would hold off on male hats if they are possible to avoid the firestorm of "why can he wear hats but I can't?" but still really frustrating

Doubly so when there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which hats/hoods do and don't work. Like I can wear the scouting hood from the Nier raids, but I can't wear the scouting hood from Bozja.

This is still no excuse really. Create the hair variations, adjust the hats to fit the head shape (like they do for literally every other race except hrothgar who are in the same boat as us) and let the ears clip. I don't think anyone cares about clipping at this point. We just want hats. I don't understand why they just straight up ignore this complaint for half a decade now.

Did I say it's an excuse? I said that I don't get why SE did this. xD

I only said those things above because Lockhart missed the theme of this thread. :>

I wish they would just adjust the heads and remove the offending hairstyles... or rework the hairstyles or SOMETHING. It makes more sense to me than adjusting all of the head gear.

If they removed the offending hairstyles you would all be bald, because not a single hairstyle for Viera has functioning shapekeys to make them fit hats. Yes, not even the hairstyles that work perfectly fine on every other race.

Yeah the universal ones that were added retroactively don't have shape keys, which is just pure being lazy but whatever let's just leave that in the past for now.

The 7.0 onward hair has shape keys on all but viera and hroth WHICH IS DELIBERATE AND AN ASSHOLE MOVE.

Like why the actual feck are they doing this??

Even though they made the heads all one morph which is what they told us would fix this.

They really should've fixed this instead of re-writing old sidequests.
