Gender locked race?

[Theodric]

Who will actually play as a Hrothgar? And not as a joke? I'm asking this honestly. Even if you enjoy their overall looks (no judgement), their overall character model seemed very rough and slapdash, especially compared to Viera.

I'll definitely be playing one as an alt. Whether I play one as my main depends on how I like the 'feel' of them in-game.

When is the Benchmark coming out btw ?

SB's benchmark came out May 1st for a June 20th release so I'd say near mid-May.

Do we really need two cat races though? Really?

I think this is my main issue with them. I feel like they should have based them on another animal. (Bears perhaps?)

My main issue. (These quotes are on a different thread.j

Stop using japan to justify your own misogyny and move on.

In the west, anything can be misogyny. So forgive me if I don't take you seriously.

No male Viera = lore reasons
No female Ronso = lore changes

Also posting to say I'm disappointed that there won't be male Viera. I'm not a fan of the overly bulky male aesthetic, either Hrothgar or Roe. It just looks kind of strange to me, like every male of that race grew up in a gym and was forced to pump weights all day. If male Viera aren't going to happen could we at least get some variety? Maybe a male Roethgar who was a little lazy and somehow escaped from mandatory gym time?

In the US, anything can be misogyny. So forgive me if I don't take you seriously.

Once again, stop implying nobody in Japan cares about misogyny and move on.

That's a miqo'te.

So, out of curiosity...how many of those upset over this intend to take their leave of the game and at what point do they intend to do so?
