We’ll just have to keep pushing for them respectfully in the end. The more demand they see for it the more potential there is for them to be added to 6.0.

It's to be expected. Given the issues the new races are raising for them (things like headgear). The answer leaves a bit of a possibility, but they should, in my opinion, tackle the current challenges instead of making more promises and biting off more than they can chew.

But, if you wish for something still, keep up the discussion. I know I still pine for them.

Disappointing letter; a revisionist CYA/rationalization of a bad decision. And indeed, you can throw money and people at these sorts of problems if you have the will (if you're unfamiliar with the process of software development, there's plenty of writing on product management you can look into to understand how to work the time/money/resource levers). There's no shortage of talent in JPN looking to develop for S-E.

Guys, some of you seem very sad by the live letter thing, but the answer we got is amazing! It means they are listening and it will most likely take them time (6.0 probs) until they can release them, which is totally fine ^^ I mean, this was probably more than what I was expecting. They have said they're trying to make them, which most likely means that they will figure something out with their gear for 6.0

Love the optimistic attitude you all have.
At least we know one thing if they add Male Viera and Female Hrothgar they won't be doing it as child like models.

Sorry can't find Retsuko like gif without she winking

But if you know a solution and have the technical knowledge to do it you can make a post along with others and help them figure out the best way to implement both counterparts so those players who want Male Viera and Female Hrothgar be able to play it.

With your knowledge and technical help maybe they find the best way to implement it and be able to do the 3-3.5 months big patch.

I'm quite positive that we will get them at 6.0 after his letter. Seems like tey are trying their best and I'm sure they will figure something out

I’m taking the same stance as I do for high res textures and more graphics customisation options - things I want to see but which are costly and will require the demand to be there for them to happen. Getting blackpilled and ceasing to push for these is exactly the wrong attitude to take if you want them.

[zeylos]

Completely agree. As long as the feedback is respectful, if u want em or not, u should leave ur feedback here still ^^

[Xulcan]

We were told that there will never be gender locked races again and now all we receive is excuses of well two races with two genders is too hard. Then don't put either in and keep your word. Or do as your doing and lose your honesty.

Seems the choice was made.
