Gender locked race?

[cicatriz313]

I wish this whole "devs are ignoring us" mentality would die. Obviously you're getting plenty from the game or you wouldn't play it so obviously they're not ignoring everyone. If you don't get male Viera it was just one thing they decided to do. It happens all the time. Like I personally don't care for getting a new tank or healer but it's happening. The devs are still listening.

Do you expect me to not hold them accountable when they screw up something like this? If my concerns on something as big as this are ignored or if they continue to play coy then that is grounds for me to not cooperate either. Right now it really does appear they’re off in lalaland because so far they haven’t even addressed the backlash from Blue Mage and BA and have gone in articles to call them successes. You cannot let them continue to go off into their echo chamber or else there’s no way to get anything to improve.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying people can voice their opinions without making it black and white that they're "IGNORING US" because of one decision. (Also, this wasn't even something you posted so not sure why you're latching on?) This thread would be a lot more valuable as like, a signed petition stating you're for male Viera and Yoshi can see oh hey this many people really care about this I should take that into account. Instead what it's devolved into is entitlement and over the top drama as more and more revelations are revealed that hey, maybe male Viera aren't coming. Considering you've been vocal on other things the dev team has done such as the blue mage thread, yet you're still playing, makes me think that none of these issues are as devastating to you as you make them out to be. Also he literally addressed BA yesterday. So the fact that you don't know that shows me that you are oblivious to what they're actually doing and entrenched in your views.

Do signed petitions even mean much these days? Not even in ye olden Give Us male miqo/fem roe/fem highlander threads did they just say "I want ___" "Signed"- There was back and forth across threads from people who wanted them, people who didn't want them, people arguing lore for/against them, people arguing over priorities, "entitlement" being thrown around, etc.

This thread is huge by EN forum standards when you consider the only posts on the 1st page that have more responses are generally the screenshot dump threads. If we make a second one the same people would eventually roll in and argue the same points. Might as well see how big and loud this one can get.

I mean at the point that you're saying petitions are meaningless, threads in general are meaningless. This thread has a lot of pages, sure. But I would argue a lot of the posts either are for the supposed implementation of a different race or are neutral. And really, it's the same... some amount of people that are posting.

You are free to go through and count the for's and against's, I'd say theres more for, and with more likes, than those neutral or against

Oh, I mostly keep checking for the guilty pleasure and wish I brought popcorn when sudenly it gains like 2-3 pages overnight. Half-hoping/expecting it to still be in the first page by the time Fan Fest comes around

It'll inevitably be bumped up come FF even it it isnt lol

Blue mage is dead to me and isn’t relevant anymore. I wish they hadn’t even added the job instead of releasing it in such a broken state. However, they can’t afford to keep making those kinds of catastrophic mistakes if they want to keep me on board. If they release a half assed Viera? Goodbye.Yes my character’s race is more important to me than what specific class they play. And yes, people are entitled to getting what they want out of a game that’s expensive as this.

Lol, no. They're not entitled to everything they want, that's asinine. They're entitled to whatever Yoshi wants to put in this game. Anyway, we will see what you do come March. I have a feeling we will see you continue to post for awhile afterwards. To keep this relevant to the topic, to anyone else who feels entitled to male Viera, you're not. If they don't come with 5.0 they might come in the future? Maybe? But I think it'll be awhile kind of like with the male bunny suit debacle.

Plot twist, hrothgar is the highlander viera and was "accidentally" revealed in the french codes as foreshadow/tease.

Apologies to the "bara cat" crowd, but that would make me literally rofl if it happened.
