Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

And Well yeah, of course we don't know anything yet, because they have nothing to share yet. Its not done, they need to work on it. People are too hasty and demand answers right away before there is a grounded solution to give an accurate answer.

We have been told by some in the community when only female Viera was revealed that we should not be so hasty and to wait until the next fanfest, because SE would never introduce a genderlocked race and we are way too negative. Then came the leak from the french client with the Hrothgars in it and we were still told to wait and not complain. When Hrothgar was revealed but both of them felt already a bit limited we were told to wait and not panic, and when the benchmark dropped and manes were stuck to faces and Viera having only a few hairstyles we were also told to not already complain and wait because we will get more, or more information or "SE would never have Hrothgar players needing RL money to change". The expansion is out for a bit, we had a few events where they gave interviews and one liveletter and yet they barely gave any information about this again. How long should we wait?

If they have a solution, if they have a plan why not tell us? Maybe people would complain less if we knew more. For example knew how many manes/hairstsyles we will probably get and in which timeline..if we dont get such answer we have to believe that they dont know themselves or are not sure enough about being able to give them to us...

How long should we wait?

According to the translations of some recent interviews on Reddit they're already setting their sights on 6.0. Maybe by then we'll have some answers and complete races assuming they got any of our feedback.

Can you send a link to the interviews?

Huh, from the cliff notes it seems that they're expecting the game to go at least up to 8.0. Which is about 6-8 years away. That's enough for the PS5 and newer PCs to release and provide some incentive.
Graphical Updates like an expanded CC or the missing genders don't seem too far-fetched now.

I mean it never was. There are just other Priorities to consider first.

Anybody who thought we were getting Male Viera...are a little silly. No offense. It can still happen in the future, Maybe, but anyone banking off of the "No Genderlock" thing and expecting it to happen to Viera...just yeah. Im gonna leave it there and Not get into that argument again. Im tiered of repeating it and getting the same counter-argument.
How long should we wait?.... as long as we need to. And I KNOW many of you will hate that answer...but what else can you do? Either A- Keep bickering and threatening to leave, B- Keep asking the same questions expecting a different answer. or C- Just wait.
All you can do is Option C.
As Proven, A & B aren't making waves. Not saying you can't do it, but I think your energy could be better spent elsewhere. There is more to this game then Male Viera and Female Hrothgar. And Hairstyles or Hats. Plus they already addressed hairstyles...sorta

And see, your asking questions they can't for sure answer. They can't say for sure how many styles they will develop, not definitively at least. They can't share plans unless they know FOR SURE, it will happen. Any estimated number they give, they will be held accountable to. And if they come up short for ANY reason wither its believable or not, they will get castrated for it, and that will lead to more damage then not addressing Male Viera for the 50th time.

what else can you do?

-Post/create art in show of your support
-Keep this thread up so it gets likes
-Ask about male viera and female hrothgar in Q&A's. Not because you expect a different answer, but to show there is still a demand.
-Patiently wait
