Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[Pip_Chick]

Hi, sorry if this will be annoying to the people here, but I am generally curious and I would like some feedback. In this drawing, I took the 4Story female beasts (which was my first MMO ever and my first character was a female beast) representation and changed her face to be more animalistic. And I would like to know how would people react if the Female Hrothgar would turn out something similar to this. P.S I am not very good with 2D drawing but I gave it my best.

Sorry to say that but please delay them till you have solved all the restrictions and errors you made with the hrothgar males, SE. Pls. not. another. messy. race. with. problems. over. problems. Pls learn from your mistakes and let us be pleasantly surprised. If you release the female ronsos and they can't change hairstyles without using a fantasia it'll be...

Credits to all your posted fanarts and concept arts. They look really amazing!

I really like this art, and really that's how I expect they will look, like a bigger highlander body and cat faces.

Would be nice if they could at least share some concept art if not the final models. It's not like it's a secret or anything they've announced they are coming.

The current hair situation with the hrothgar makes me believe that their female counterparts will be nothing but miqotes with more color options and patterns on their skin.

I have zero confidence in them producing another race until the other races are completed with what was promised, especially after the current live letter. If we had a live letter where Yoshi came out and said we have the unique tribal hair for Hrothgar and Viera, the hat situation would have been fixed. People no longer had to pay for a fantasia to change their hairstyle. I would have a different reaction; However, as it stands now, it feels like the current customisation of the races is a piece of work the development team doesn't care about or doesn't want to do. Any work that has been put into it was on the developer's free time, which means it's not even in his mind, and we haven't heard anything about the hat situation since shadowbringers.

We are starting a new journey with 3 yr old broken promises to a large portion of the community. Old content should have been updated progressively over the past ten years instead of all at once. This is a live service, and they are treating people poorly. I work in the software sector. If this were any of our services, we would be dropped immediately and lose customers. It's unacceptable that people need to wait for a yr + for content you promised to fix. It's horrifying to think people had to wait for ten yrs + in some cases.

If this is what sparing no expense meant then the game will end just like wow where the dev team looks out of touch and they are starting to look that way with a lot of the class design changes.

Let's hope for the best and expect the worse.

Nor should they. In the time between that first LL comment where they mentioned adding new race specific hairs to Viera and Hrothgar and now they created an entirely new race in the form of male Viera. They had to create an entire new set of assets for the male Viera. Meaning they had to sculpt the body, sculpt the faces, sculpt the many hairstyles, fit all of the gear to them, create animations, record voices, and so on. They had to create all of this from scratch when one could argue that that time and effort would have been better placed finishing the two races that they started in ShB and that a lot of the community is still unhappy about. Creating anything new without fixing the messes they seem to be avoiding is just poor game development

Hindsight is 20/20. A lot of us nearly three years ago were saying that they first need to "fix" or improve what we had at the time: Female viera and Male Hrothgar. These were drowned out by the cries for male viera. Now we are looking at the repercussions.

I think this is basically what they'll be but flat feet and a baby tail.
