Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Given how half baked customization is for the Hrothgar it might be better that they aren't adding male / female races for both as it would probably be even more of a mess than it already is. Give em time to fix the mess as the more you look into it the more it seems this expansion is being rushed out the door.

I agree that there’s a lot about this expansion that feels awfully rushed. Not so much the new zones etc, but some of the job abilities, the design of Hrothgar, the precursor patch etc, all feel rushed. SE is going to have to consider increasing their budget and manpower a bit if 5.0 does well. Whilst adding 2 races at once is likely a major culprit, BLU probably did not help much either. If you’re expecting the team to juggle that much work, it ought to be considered if the resources available are realistic.

Tbh there are just so many reasons to just pick 1 race and stick to it. I really think the dev team made a mistake here, because now they also most likely are going to have to make 2 more models since they created extremely high demand for 2 things that otherwise would have not existed (the demand would have not existed), when if they had only done 1 race, then they could have decided if they wanted to make the other one without so much pressure for the community. I hope SE can learn from this for next expansions

Demand, there was.
They are grabbing players from other games that required a race like Hroth, as well player base that desired that too.
I think it's just as Lauront said, they just should have increased the budget and Manpower to do a full service at both demands.

What it seems is that the team is overworked to follow their own deadlines to deliver the product.
And as client, it makes me wary of future if this becomes a trend.
