Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

Gotta add this quote to my post. This is hilarious and made my day.

It's very sad. I'm almost losing my interest by Vieras and returning to miqo'te.
At this point, i'm thinking they will never finish this two new races.
It was a very hilarious experience, but I'm puting more effort to make Viera a "completed race" to me, than SE.

Surprisingly I think they'll finish it. I just don't see it happening any time soon. I mean, it makes me wonder if they'll bother with the headpieces now and make them all fit only to go back and make the males and repeat the process. A bright spark in me thinks that's what they're going for, but that's the dreamer side. The butthole in me just thinks they bit off more than they can chew.

We gotta keep the spark alive. The positive belief motivates people in a happy way.

I have an honest question: why anyone is surprised? SE has been doing this since ARR. The gear is not adapted to the necessities of the different races. Just happens that Viera's ears are super obvious, like tails.

Sadly, the average Viera headgear will look like that. Instead of SE adapting all I'll prefer specific headgear for us (like Fran's Helmet). I mean, the ideal scenario will be SE stop cutting corners and fix all pieces of gear for all races... but is not going to happen :/

Well one part of my post was more about them choosing to change a low level dungeon gear to show on Vieras while the new stuff is often not showing things. And these newer and high level items will probably be used much more often than that one piece out of a dungeon many wont even run anymore. So I still wonder why they choose such items but ignore the recent one, especially the ones for jobs.

The other part was more about laughing how bad a paid item is looking on them. Even after a lot of glitching on those outfits I still thought that they would put more work in something like that especially since they know that Viera barely have any headgear. Yet instead of simply taking away the ears on that they made it poke out.

I would not be a fan in getting specific headgear for us because that will mean that we will get less overall. Its the same problem I see with the racial hairstyles. If they barely manage to give us 2 hairstyles with each big patch how will they manage to give us two + one style for viera and a mane for Hrothgar? This will just end with everyone getting less.

Edit:

My problem is also: I dont want to give them more money to buy a fantasia to change back and at the same time I love the Viera emotes and finally being taller without having a strange neck and walk or too much muscles. So I guess I stay Viera. I also fear that if too many will give it up, that SE thinks: Well no reason to give us the missing genders for any of those races because people dont want to play them.

Feeling a taste of what I feel. Viera are a gimmick; afterthought. It's unfortunate, but that's how it is. When I saw that screenshot in the other thread I started laughing, and facepalming at the same time. Honestly, if this is the effort we can expect, we probably aren't seeing male viera. Seeing stuff like that just reaffirms my decision to go back to my au ra.

I mean, at least they can use the hood, I guess?

Just when I though SE couldnt mess up the new races more...

Im gonna be possitive here and just give a possitive though (not really supported by evidence, just to be happy about this subject for once ). What if they aren't working on the headpieces because they're working on male vieras and waiting for them to be released so they only have to do it once?

[zeylos]

I have to comment on this again and say I wish I could laugh at this, but this only just continues my disappointment on
how poorly they have released and treated the Viera and Hrothgar friends.
I'm actually embarrassed too. This is like a rookie mistake.
This is truly unacceptable. I'm trying to wrap my head around how this even passed the team.

With that said, more people I know are switching races back to their previous because of how limited the new races are.
Looking at this, makes me think they didn't care about them. They just wanted people to stop begging. It's better
to have a nicely finished race than this mess. They did the same thing to BLU and it didn't come out well at all either.

With all this tied in, I can't say that I see male Viera coming in the near future because of these releases.
I do hope to see male Viera someday though, so I support this thread fully!
I hope to see some much needed love and fixes later on. What a shame.

After seeing this, I just think that SE will release a very bad, glitchy and bareboens version of male viera and female hrotgar ( theyll likely slap ears into male au ra/elezen and give femroes male hrotgar heads with eyelashes) so they can get more money out of this and Im not even sure if theyll work on them afterwards. This is what happens when u make 2 genderlcoked races insetad of one SE :/

The following 2 are by @nurulilom on twitter. Could anyone translate the caption on the first one?

This is the type of male viera I wish for, but sadly unless they give us higlanders this isnt gonna likely happen, and after krylies outfit I've lost all my hopes on SE and Imma just play as hyur, maybe a male miqote someday, and hope that male viera will come out in 6.0 if possible, and that theyll be a bit more playable than what females are now

[zeylos]

Aaaand thats my spam for today. Sorry for the 5 posts in a row but I havent been here for like a month and I wanted to catch up plus Im on phone. How u ppl been going? Still fightining or have we got more possitive?

[Theodric]

I'm still trying not to get my hopes up. Far too many things that I would like to see added to the game end up being the exact same things that the development team choose to compromise on.
