Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

100% Agree. Missing genders as a selling point of 6.0? I'd grumble a little but be ok with it. Customization options which we should have in 5.x? Noooope, I want my fancy RDM hat, tyvm. I'm somewhat content with the options for Viera since most of my glamours used the Baron Circlet, but some things like the aforementioned RDM hat or Eden headgear which was made for this expansion just... baffle me...

Actually, as much as Id like it to be here as soon as 5.1, we dont know when theyll come, same for missing genders, so I have no idea when the changes will come. I doubt it will be before 5.3 though, if what they said about gear refit is true

also, I wonder why ppl says 'the options for viera', personally I say ' the options for female viera' I dont really understand why other ppl dont do the same (I know its a minor detail, but Im legit curious bout it)

Wait...You can't wait some of 5.0's headgear either?
Especially AF's?
Oooh have they rushed these races out the gate so poorly...
What a sad shame.

I like to believe that's gear that was designed and already made before the little surprise that Viera and Hroth could wear headgear at all, and that any gear that's being created -now- may [should] be available for them.

Also yeah, I'd rather see them finish polishing fViera and mHroth before going for the missing 2 and we end with 4 incomplete models. I care for equality, but I prioritize quality. Thank you

I don't see much discussion about their faces but I like this.

Just speculation but I wonder if the development team simply did not want to add any additional playable races but were told to anyway by those above them? It may explain why things played out in the way that they did.

Perhaps I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, the expansion seems very very strong in my opinion, with or without new races, but I see the marketing reasoning for adding in the viera and the hrothgar. Both satisfy a much asked for want.

Given certain events that happened during the development of Heavensward and since, I would say this is less about lack of want and more about how a string of arguably poor decisions from devs and higher ups drove them into this corner. And now we all have to take a ticket, and wait patiently in the waiting room for this little mess to straighten itself out. No other choice but to do so.

What events do you refer to, out of curiosity?

Oh boy. If I explained it here, it may derail the thread, and likely get ganged upon on top of it. Can I just send it to you through a PM?
