weak excuses about adding viera

[Shougun]

Can edit a post to get around the character limit (write up your post, make a post, and then paste in the content via an edit - dont lose the original though would be embarrassing to lose what you need to place in the edit lol).

Personal imo on the next race is something different, or go around and make more customization options to the current ones. Different would be like a Ronso, Charr, not the standard fabulous thing.

More customization options could be new clans to the current races, maybe a "wild" clan to each race, miqote with the soft peach fuzz cat ish face, Au Ru with stronger resemblance to their concept art, or the more obvious of course like new face options, more hairs maybe some more natural curly/wavy hair, horns, beards, chest hair, more and more powerful sliders..

At least personally I feel the game has a signifcant surplus of cute, soft, perfection, and or cuddly and needs more mean, dark, rough, less pristine pop star looks (most of the "tough" we see now is still pretty soft). Although I would note I've seen a lot of requests for Viera :P

I agree. It gets tiresome. We need goblins.

I strongly prefer expanding on the races that we have with more options and tribes. Between Roegadyn, Highlander and Aura, there is plenty of scope for less cute and more mean/dark/less pristine looks. For that matter, Miqo'te (especially male) could easily have a less perfect look with more character options and face types.

Putting a lot of effort into another playable race would be a waste IMHO as it would only help the small minority of players hyped to play whichever race that is. While upgrading character customization and adding more tribes/options within the existing races potentially benefits every player in the game - which seems a much more effective use of the development time and effort.

I think you could even make some of the cute races pretty badass - like Miqo'te lion (slightly bigger, maybe larger teeth, bushier thicker tail, bit more hair, stronger face lines) and especially the Au Ra I think has high opportunity, I don't mean to say they look bad now but I mean like aggressive war torn and ready for blood. I would be quite pleased with just more options to our current set~

Maybe a sort of Blizzard Raynor/Tychus space marine build for Highlander or Roe (basically if they added to the muscle slider not only a skin texture but an actual bulk slider that affects the 3d model's scale in specific areas). Would like to note that new options doesn't mean just rough stuff, I'm sure you assumed I meant that too but I wanted to say it out loud lol - this wouldn't just be a "mean, dark" pass at the system but it could help a lot in terms of visual diversity ^_^.

I defintiely heartly agree about your argument on effectiveness of the dev time. You have to do a lot for a new race, all the lore, new characters, entirely different looks, unique changes, its a quick pass through the entire game just to make sure you did it nicely lol. I don't think SE's race choices are so unique that adding new races would be as hard as in other MMOs that have more unique looking races, but.. its still a truck full of kupo nuts of work I'm sure. And besides, if the first major gripe is the races don't have enough fun options.. adding more would silence that

So yeah, I agree if they were going for time effective changes revamping our current system and choices could be an excellent task.
