Gender locked race?

Discussion on semantics, from what little I gathered? It is starting to veer off topic again. Granted, with no additional information at this point in time, it could be considered akin to either cheerleading for one's viewpoint, or beating a dead horse. Glass half full/empty kind of thing. Sort of...

Now that is a big mood.

So in other words my initial assertion that it's use by you is nothing more than a tactic to get out having to provide evidence to back up your statements via weasel words is more or less correct. Thank you for that admission.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, champ.

It's safe to assume it's what happens on all NA threads with more than 40 pages: Drama, personal attacks, sass and meme worthy sentences.

I'm gonna put my tinfoil hat on for a moment: the "home of the viera" in Shadowbringers is in the foothills of a mountain range, and being solitary guards, the males would likely be higher up in the mountains where it's colder so that they can watch for incoming threats from most of Othard. Viera already borrow aspects of Norse and Icelandic culture in their accents, naming, etc. I suspect that the Hrothgar are male Viera, but there's enough dimorphism that they've been classed as their own race, both by the matriarchs and by any outsiders that see them - bulky, to contrast with the females being wiry, thick fur that covers their neck and part of their face, shorter ears that are protected by the fur of their manes instead of exposed to the cold wind, and so on.

I hope next BluFever will keep his lips shut next time and not ruin people's excitement. If next expansion is going to end up like this, I rather have no leak at all without every 2. User has to remind me on them.
This whole thread only lives on thanks to him and his leaks. Its time that it dies down.

I mean, SE kinda leaked themselves in the end... it wasn't Blufever who put the text glitch into the game (or was it...?). Even if he wasn't in the picture, I'm sure we would still all be wondering the exact same things.

Let me join the tin foil hat club with Daralii and say that I think the text glitch might have been intentional. Sudden uproar about lack of male Viera in preview? Just got out of the Fanfest in France and it just so happens that the French client is the one that gets borked? Funny timing for this to get put out there. I smell shenanigans.

I think the "unlock it later" crew are saying they release females, then the players backlash because of course they will, and then se will be like "oh people actually wanted this??? We had no ideaa!!!" or "We couldn't finish this race in time so buy it now and we'll update it later because race releases can be partially release gated like raid releases" and then they finish the race later like they did for male miqo'te, female roegadyn, and female highlander.

So, the next expansion after? I guess that would make more sense, but people would still freak.

Leaks or not the reveal of only female viera would have sparked something,
This thread was 100% garunteed to happen.

Cant really blame the leaker.
