Gender locked race?

Iirc Au Ra relate more to the void than dragons

They don't relate to either - pending any future revelations, at least.

It might have been an inspiration for their design, but as far as we know, within the story they're simply a humanoid race with some features that make them look a bit like voidsent or dragons.

And yet.. nothing actually operates as 1.0 did.. Ideas and concepts are not hold overs from 1.0, systems and mechanics are hold overs from a previous version.. to which there is none. I was in 1.0 and then in the beta for 2.0. The two games are so dissimilar , they are effectively completely different games.
If it didn't have to get rebuilt from effectively the ground up, they wouldn't have taken the game down for more than a year to remake the game and have it come out as something that feels, plays and looks as something different.

As I understand it, a lot of things got changed and rebuilt, but over the base structure of 1.0's programming to cut down on time and development costs. This legacy code and their "short-term time-saving" methods of rebuilding the game have led to long-term programming issues that they have to work around.

Big non answer that could mean anything at this point.

Speculation is simply wasted till March 23rd at this stage.

I've been reading the thread a bit and it's really weird how they keep trying to avoid discussion on the males. It makes it seem like they're npc only, or are extremely proud of themselves in what they made and want to keep it a secret for a big reveal.

I've found the idea that the males look similar to the females entertaining. There's no reason a slim or lean build couldn't be deadly. I see them more as possible stealthy assassins rather than something muscular.

I would prefer two complete races, full viera and something more beastly (maybe more canid as a counterpart to the cats already in game), but I know that's a lot to ask for.

This, 100%

This concept art is like my absolute best/perfect case scenario when it comes to the viera designs:

Lean, a little rough, but still sleek designs, and a head or so shorter than the females on average.

I would laugh if they really did make Viangaa... and Bangaa end up being the males lol.
Would be hilarious to see the April fools joke actually troll folks in the end.

Bunnies being too cute? They're mean critters. Have you ever been bit or scratched by one? Just insert some of this into their personalities:



Big Wig, Silver and Woundwort aren't all fluff.

The concept of the green one they designed is actually pretty cute! But on the other hand, I don't need another MMO actually turning April Fools jokes into actual content. I ran away from WoW for a reason (and they did do that).

This would be neat. I like this version.
