Genderlock reminder to SE

[Nora_of_Mira]

No one asking for the genderlock to be removed is asking for the things you care about to be neglected though. You're just assuming that would happen, but we have no reason to believe it would.

actually, we do. Listen to the reasons why Yoshi said we don't have both gendered races ready for Shadowbringers. He said "there wasnt enough time to add everything" [paraphrasing, there were many interviews about this] . we can then infer it takes quite an effort to develop the models, animations, assets, character creation, equipment models...etc.

So yes, I do think we have reason to believe this will take away dev time from other projects they have planned for Shadowbringers. Removing genderlock is not like flipping a switch, its literally creating 2 new character models.

Or SE could allocate more budget/staff to the project so that Yoshi could do it without impacting the rest of the project. That would be the ideal solution here. We're hoping that the fan outcry will let Yoshi request the additional resources from SE. We're not expecting them to cancel other parts of the game to remove the genderlocks. That's just silly.

Are you for real? I'm not joking, really asking this.
We are 2 months away from the expansion and you want them to allocate more resources and deviate from the planned release , working schedule?
Do you even realize what you're asking, or just think that if you "build it, they will come" scenario is at hand?




Dear god, we have reached the pinnacle of entitlement.

Where did I say I wanted it done in 2 months? That's just crazy. Removing the genderlocks is a long term goal. No way it is happening in time for Shadowbringers launch, might not even happen before 6.0. Please stop assuming things.

You need to read comments properly. Take your time.

Yea, don't get where she got I wanted it done before launch. Sounds like she just wants something to overreact to. lol

i feel a lot of people would share this feeling about this entire thread and similar threads.

but in case my joke didn't land [yoshi drinking wine], SE allocating more resources to Yoshi is less likely to happen than Yoshi shuffling things around down the pipeline so that they can add these races at some point in the future. what else will get delayed to make this happen? no one knows but the dev team. I stand by not complaining about losing things that were not given, so I we'll get what we get when we get it. and to throw my 2c in, I'm really looking forward to female viera and what creation options we have.

I just see it as a long term goal, nothing else. Yoshi being able to point to fan demand for something can't hurt if he has to ask for more resources to make it work. That's why I don't see anything at all wrong with people complaining. If that makes people entitled, so be it. We're paying for the game as much as anyone else is.
