Gender locked race?

[cicatriz313]

I'm also wondering why everyone wants specifically male Viera barring "hrothgar" when we know neither what male Viera or "hrothgar" look like. It seems that some of the community want little cute male bunnies and some want strong looking males like in the concept art. If we get a strong looking race that isn't a bunny, is it the lacking of the ears that will make people angry? Because I mean, they look like elezens with ears in most of the art people are throwing out there.

Edit: and then what happens with the people who want the cute version? I mean someone's gonna lose no matter what.

Because I asked for Viera not Hrothgar. I wanted bunny males regardless of size, not this random race that not a single soul asked for. Also because gender locks are a stupid and lazy decision and I would STILL be here asking fo female Hrothgar if it was male-only Hrothgar revealed.

Quite a few people asked for something along the lines of Hrothgar, actually. Myself included.

To be fair, we don't really know what they'll be like. Only that they have manes (?) .

I mean, if everyone has been thinking it'll be "Ronso" or "Lion race" and have been getting hyped up for that, that's kind of the same.

I don't think gender locks are lazy because either way they're creating the same amount of gear, poses, etc one for male one for female of whatever race is there. If anything it's the opposite of lazy because they'd have to come up with more lore to include this new surprise race in the game. If it's stupid is maybe accurate, if only because they're going to bring the same crowd that got upset over no male bunny suits + more to their doors with pitchforks and torches.

Giving us Hrothgar instead of male Viera would be cheating me out of my money. As cool as some people may find it, another cat race is not what the game needs right now. Viera are what was hyped up all this time and that is what we are entilted to. Hrothgar is an entirely different race, and can never be equivalent to male Viera in my eyes since they don't look the same and have a completely unknown story. What is truly lazy is writing out an entire gender of a race, which in no way, shape, or form will be well received by the community. They deserve rage and pitchforks if they reveal Hrothgar instead of male Viera at the fanfest.

Lmao, yay you used entitled. At least you accurately called yourself out. It is in no way cheating you out of anything because they never promised male Viera. But good job being ridiculous. I have been in the "don't care either way" camp, and only came in here to call out absurd arguments and see what people were saying, but you single-handedly made me interested in the outcome because now I want to see what you do in late March. I'll be bookmarking this post to keep an eye out

Male Viera released then/unlockable in later patches? I keep paying my subscription and preorder Shadowbringers.

No Male Viera at all? Kiss me goodbye.
