Fair warning, you guys are going to be hearing about genderlocks for a long time

You're not going to get people to be quiet about it. :v Or to stop attacking the devs for it. Telling people to just "unsub then" isn't going to work either. Trying to police people with "you aren't being nice enough to our hardworking devs!" is a waste of time too.

So if hearing people being unhappy about a design choice in a game they play bothers you that much, maybe you should be the one unsub because people aren't going to just shut up about it anytime soon. People eventually got male miqote and female roegadyn added to the game. It isn't a hopeless situation, but people have to be vocal about it.






.... but everything else from the keynote was really cool so I'm still hyped tbh.

People are saying unsub because people are threatening to unsub and its like fine, get it over with. Please voice all your disdain, just maybe consolidate lol. Everyone has their own blog thread at this point.

I love these Forums. It's my new drug of choice.

We spend more time playing the game, so we don't really care. We are busy accommodating the newer players excited about the game and Shadowbringers.

This is the last racial diversity we're getting given they've essentially said there will be NO NEW races after these. Can they change their minds, sure, they've done it in the past.

Seems to me they wanted to create a new race with one male and one female choice for the community. They've decided that Male Viera were not something they wanted and as such introduced Hothgar as the male alternative. People may not agree with that decision but it appears we won't be getting any new ones so I don't see how the OP claims of more gender lock applies.

There are those who are disappointed and then again there are those who welcome the choices.

Well, I'm glad you're handling that for me because I know if I have to run tam-tara one more time I'm gonna puke. Please try to teach them about how aggro management tools work and how AOE moves do more dmg if you've got 3 or more targets while you're at it.

Wait for it
The all new 6.0 gender unlock, because we did say no new race but never said no new gender!

Nah we don't have to deal with it for long once all of the people who are kicking and screaming are unsubbed, so you can't post on the forums anymore and we don't have to read it.


Or they'll continue subbing and complaining, which will make little difference to the devs if you're still throwing your money at them.

It really isn't that black and white. Unsubbing isn't the only way to get the devs to notice. People didn't have to unsub to get Yoshi to respond to the negative BA feedback. He even made his own post genuinely apologizing for that situation. Something like this isn't going to go unnoticed either, no matter how much people want to downplay it. It probably won't be soon, but it'll happen eventually.
