You can't "lock" something that doesn't exist.

Even if one model is altered to make the options we have, does not mean they don't become new models once altered.

Why are you asking people to be patient? We're paying full price for incomplete features.

But they aren't incomplete, we're getting exactly what they advertised and nothing less. If they had demo'd male Viera/Female Hrothgar and then said "ha ha, you can't have these until we say so" then you'd be paying for an incomplete feature.

Because they have to focus on the release of shadowbringers first. As much as i want both genders to be added, the first very important thing is that 5.0 runs smoothly.

Whoever came up with that definition was wrong. I don't think there is a single instance where you could replace the word "literally" with "figuratively" and have it make sense. I *figuratively* can't think of anything where it would actually have the same effect instead of just looking ridiculous, seeing as the word "literally" in these cases doesn't actually mean "figuratively", but is in fact used as an interjection meant to emphasise a point.

That's debatable, given they were very coy about whether or not we'd be getting male Viera until a time where most people who preordered already used their bonus items and couldn't get a refund if they bought it directly from SE's store.
I'm not saying those people had no blame in the matter and should've probably waited with preorders until after all information was out. That's an entirely different debate. But as far as what SE advertised they intentionally withheld information and fed on hype, misplaced or otherwise.

It's only being replaced in one direction and wasn't it Shakespeare?

You're doing that from the beginning. 5.0 is an incomplete product that you are not only paying some sixty dollars for, but another fifteen every month and will continue to do so until 5.56 when it's finally complete.

Or that could just be people reading into more than they should. I can't say one way or another because I wasn't there, nor did I watch the streams because I'm pretty much content with what we're getting.

It's certainly wrong, but unfortunately that that doesn't stop people from using it wrongly.

It's not so much that they say "literally" where the word "figuratively" should be used in a sentence, but that they use it as an 'emphasis word' for something that isn't literal at all.

eg. After a busy day at work, they might say "I had to deal with literally thousands of customers today", when actually it might have been a hundred or so.


I remember one of my teachers used it (literally!) all the time, and it grated on my nerves so much. D:
