Male Viera... Unsubbing for now.

[Imuka]

they delete posts that start/spread negativity/hate/flame wars.
telling people to leave because this or that reason, is just spreading nagativity for no reason.

So, when people call other Members here crybabies who should piss out of the Game, because nobody wants them here...it is fine for the Mods and does definitly not spread hate and negativity.
When a Person is Homophobic, Transphobic and insults Members...it is fine for the Mods and does definitly not spread hate and negativity.
But when people tell a Person who spreads Homophobia, Transphobia and insults Members of the Community to leave this Board because of said Homophobia, Transphoia and insulting Members...then it is seen as spreading hate and negativity.

It's funny how people probably would've just kept playing happily had they decided not to add any new races after Au Ra.

Sometimes doing nothing is smarter than doing something that you know will backfire.

ok guys i want a new emote for SHB pls add disappointed emote, I want to show my feelings the whole time im online XD

They will sell it for 8,99 on the Mog Station.

Hrothgar was just added because there was no plans to add male Viera. Well i do recall they were making concept art, but Yoshi also said it felt awkward, so they had no real plans to add it - it's just that ppl see concept art, and then everything is set in stone as an unbreaking promise; it was "just" concept art though, so they were trying to be creative, but decided against it, for whatever reason.

Your time frame is messed up. The awkward comment came in 2013, THEN male artwork in 2015. Leaving it on that and the past promise to not gender lock again, many people are completely blindsided by this.

The devs have been content to let this speculation/hype stew until now. They could have mentioned it earlier and saved some face, or even come out and explained if these steps were taken to maximize resources for the expansion with the other genders following. They have not done so.

Eh, everything more or less backfires anyways nowadays.

To quote myself from another Thread.

Because everybody who is blessed with common sense and some super Basic knowledge about Marketing knows "Don't ever show what you can't deliver.".
If you can't deliver something just say that you don't deliver it, don't show Concept Art and let the rumor spread like a Wildfire for several weeks.

Unsubbed as well and holding off on buying the expansion

I'm unsubbing until male Viera are added, sorry devs. I love the game, but I have been hoping for this for a really long time (well before Viera were confirmed or hinted at coming to the game). I understand this is probably a little childish, but I'm not worried about appearing that way.

I'm happy the Ronso crowd got their race, but I'm very disappointed we've yet again taken the route of "men big manly" and "women sleek sexy". Games with genderlocking in races and classes NEVER keep my attention. Black Desert looks great, for example, but my favorite classes are female only so I just can't bring myself to play it.

Unfortunately, between BLU, no male Viera, and (so far) no healer... I'm just really let down.

Please consider bringing us male Viera very soon.

Well...
bye.

And we already have the ability to make super muscular women with roegadyn and Highlander.

I disagree with this. Highlanders aren't super muscular in frame or at max "chiseled" by any metric. Not when compared to their "softer" Hylean counterpart. Not when compared to femroes. Not when compared to the range of other female playable character options in range from smallest to biggest. When the other "big girl" in the game is still 24 inches minimum shorter than my femroe and only distinguishable from the "smaller" version of their race in stance not actual visually discernible size, you can hardly call it the muscular woman option.

If you want to be female and big in this game you have one option. It kind of sucks that there isn't a fat option in this game, but it is what it is and fat isn't popular with much people other than me in a wish fulfillment based game like this.

I know I'd personally love a new race of some sort with actually fat females (or just another big type similar to femroe but beastly...like um...I don't know, as the counterpart to the hrothgar). There are gaps that could be filled. Female body type variation is one of them.

As I'm a relatively new player it's not a game breaker for me that these gaps in representation do exist, because there is other representation and an almost overwhelming amount of customization in this game.

I know that were it not for deciding to ungenderlock races at some point, I would not even have my femroe to play. While knowing that does make me sympathize with people who expected unlocked viera (since this feels like a step back), it also makes me hopeful that at some point in the future they might unlock viera and hrothgar. Maybe they intend to release the other gender models later because they aren't ready yet? No one likes incomplete character models. It helps me to hold onto hope for a later release date because, like I said before, female hrothgar would be neat if they make them proportionate to their male counterparts.

I get being upset about this, and as a person who unsubbed from WoW several weeks ago over a disagreement in how they treated employees, I think unsubbing for any level of dissatisfaction with the game is valid. I don't disagree with announcing it on the forums, either. This is hopefully the one place your feedback can be heard by the people who can do anything to increase your satisfaction.

I do hope they implement the male and female versions of viera and hrothgar eventually and people unsubbing get to return. I tried a lot of MMOs when I quit WoW and this is the only one that felt complete, even in comparison to WoW itself, as so much of the game's lore is found outside of the game for some reason. It kind of sucks to know what the other gaming options are out there for people quitting this one. I'm sad for all of you.

It seems we are going to have a lot of house plots going to free up. /cheers

Eh I got one but don't do much with it. It's basically for gardening and a trophy room.

See you in 3 months OP.
