Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Gwenorai]

I would like to point out that they said nothing about ERP or twinks. They just said creative writing exercises. If you interpret that as ERP then perhaps that says something about you.

Or maybe, just maybe, I read their previous posts and can put 2 and 2 together?

Or perhaps you're being defensive about things that weren't explicitly mentioned? Either way, I don't really care. I'm just pointing out that they didn't specifically mention it.

I think they are mainly acknowledging that they have a heavy amount of RPers in game and that they are there for more than just content so they intend to expand upon that as well. I wouldn't worry about content being sacrificed for glamours and things like that, personally.

I'm hoping that it means that housing will be more accessible. That'd be the biggest benefit to not only the role-player community but also regular players.

I wouldn't worry about that, honestly. I think that statement was just to let people know they plan to work on more than just playable content, because the idea of content varies from person to person. Per example to me is pointless to keep expanding on Blue Mage if the job is never gonna be changed into a regular one, but as long as there's people doing the Carnival thing it means it's content for someone. Not to mention they have different people working on different things. So battle team is not the same working on glamours and that kind of stuff.

Mate; I'm on Odin - not exactly RP central. If I ERPd I'd come out and say it and laugh. I don't. In all honestly, I find it extremely cringe-worthy. I'm not however going to put a stand-still and demand folks not have what they desire because I dislike a certain community - or a few obnoxious individuals.

Unless you've been sniffing in my post history where it says 'I write' - then you're taking what I write out of proportion. You might not have - I really hope you haven't actually because that's just 'lol' - but eh, best to cover my bases as never know with some folks.

But yes, you're right - they didn't specifically mention it. Only hint at it, strongly.

Beyond that, I'm interested in any more content they have. As long as there is a healthy balance between the RP community and those who are more driven towards dungeons, crafting and those who wish to min/max in savage and ultimates.

I know Yoshi P mentioned in one of the Live Letters that they want to address housing further after the expansion launched. So that could be soon, or way later. Time will tell.

I in no way intended to insinuate that you ERP nor do I care if you do. It's not my cup of tea, but it's others. As far as their post goes, they didn't outright demand anything not be added (unless I missed that in a previous post, in which case I rescind this post). Their response to me about sparking joy can be interpreted a few ways, but everyone is allowed their own opinion. If theirs is that they don't want male viera in favor of other content, so be it. Just stroll on past it if you don't like it. Also, I tend not to post snoop unless it's needed. Right now it's definitely not needed.

That's good to know. Ah, no, I was discussing previous posts regarding this individual. Ones where they comment on the 'behaviour' of certain individuals on 'Catboys' and 'Hrothgar'. You are certainly right he didn't directly mention erp - or not from what I can remember and I have no desire to dive into their post history. But their past posts in this thread have shown that they simply do not wish for male Viera to exist due to behaviours shown by players who are specifically male Mi'qote and Hrothgar. It was their behaviour in what they were specifically doing in the game that drove them to such a viewpoint. From what was put across anyway, they might have meant something completely different and these behaviours was just something else entirely. For which I ask the question, if it's not erp or dressing flamboyantly etc - then what behaviours are bothering them where it's only the 'males' that have them wrinkle their nose and not the females? To the point they wish male Mi'qote to be removed entirely from the game or to have the age rating moved to [M]. If you're feeling adventerous you can go back and read their posts.

They could easily be written into the game. The viera's homelands are being destroyed by the empire and they are being rounded up and driven out into the open. The blokes arnt gunna be sat around in their tree houses if their people are in danger

Especially going into an expansion that will have no less than 2 ultimate fights, plus which has seen some really incredible trial and dungeon design so far. Their raid/trial/dungeon design is the very last thing I'd expect them to compromise.

It's not just RPers who like glamours, housing etc, though. A lot of the playerbase does.
