Viera, hairstyles and the lack of love.

[Darkpaw]

Ah, sorry to double post but I’m on mobile and I did want to address this. Wanting to do something as a passion project and wanting to do something to make someone else happy is still wanting to do something.

What I’m getting at is viera thirst didn’t appear out of thin air and then start beating the dev team over the head until it materialized independent of what they wanted to do. We know that they were back and forth before between implementing viera and introducing the au Ra and chose au ra partially due to the fact that viera were giving them trouble, supposedly due to the feet at the time. They had pretty fleshed out concepts that they chose to share with us. They chose to have a survey of races they were considering for community feedback. If they truly only wanted to do a beast race and be done, they would not have done any of this.

They wanted both for different reasons: Hrothgar to fill a gap, viera to appeal to the community that showed incredible enthusiasm when presented the idea by the team. Both reasons are equally valid.

The dev team gets plenty of credit. Perhaps they deserve more, sure. Viera players, in my experience, are extremely happy to be playing them. However, that does not mean there is nothing that can and should be improved upon. I love this dev team. They totally spoil us. They are so responsive and they care so, so much. This new video series has really highlighted that. So, I’ll have patience. I’ll of course keep playing. Is viera hair the most important thing in the whole game? Not even. But since the races are here and not going anywhere....

SE please give us more hair TTuTT

Not going to say all is perfect and wonderful, improvements can be made all over the place in every aspect of the game. The team isn’t perfect but these forums tend to be far more harsh then is necessary.

You got a wall of text in response to saying the viera were never intended to be implemented. That is not true. Also, I may be a bit over-caffeinated and overly passionate. So I do apologize for that.

I don’t really feel anyone in this thread has been overly harsh. Simply that they are tired of waiting which, seeing as the next major patch will be almost a year after launch, isn’t an unreasonable way to be feeling.
