Devs, can we please have a response?

You've heard our feedback and we understand you're overwhelmed with the release of 5.0. Can we please just hear any updates in regards to adding the missing genders, please? Any new response will suffice. Thank you.

The response was "they will look into it"

You aren't going to hear anything definitive for quite awhile, like, fanfest 2020.

Also, threads with vague titles will not get much attention, from the forums users and especially the devs. If they respond to anything it will be the large threads already started.

Everyone keeps saying it wont be for a while. How exactly do you know? Where do you get your facts from? You're just speculating based on no facts at all. There have been many substantially sized threads with many responses from players. And I'm requesting an update from that last response of "we'll look into it." Yoshi said if we receive enough feedback so I'm just requesting an update.

patients is key
dont mind them taking there time for a response so it isnt half assed

They won't make an official response anytime soon. They learned their lesson on how bad some people react if they didn't get what they want after they overhype themselves. So they're not gonna announce something that they haven't even started yet till they're almost done from it.

Things we KNOW:
They didn't originally plan to have alt genders for the 2 new races.
Implementing them will require substantial development and implementation. (As would any new "unique" bodies/models)
The last thing we were told, relatively recently, was "we were surprised with the reaction and are monitoring the response. Implementing further genders is a possibility"
This team takes a LONG time to implement fan requests.


Based on all that? .. hold on. At least 2 months for any info at all.

They did originally plan to have both genders. They created concept art for male viera. Early plans, but still plans. Now whether they created models for them or not, who knows. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. It would make more sense that they did make male viera models and presented them for Yoshi or whoever made the decision to say, "no, let's do an all male Hrothgar race instead." Again, until we hear from the devs, it's all speculation. And, I don't know why they were surprised about the reaction, given the fiasco of genderlocking Roe and Miquote in 1.0.

other way round
male and female hrothgar was the plan but went well people want viera so male hrothgar and female viera happen

I would make very little sense for them to do any significant investment in Male viera beyond concept art or mock-up models until the OK was given. No we don't know for sure but I can say it's highly unlikely from what I know about game development.

Doesn't matter why.. but they were. Which implies little to no investment in the chance that they'd implement them.

Was there a fiasco? I certainly don't remember people being near as upset.
