Viera didn't blow up as big as we all thought.

I've seen about three-four male roe's today while I was grinding three areas to rank 3 in fate levels. Four at maximum. Then again I knew that a lot of those Roe's would switch over as its very niche and roe just seemed to be the 'settled' race for that specific niche. Good for them though.

Female Viera have still got their butts out, but not all - it just tends to be the few chaps who are rocking the asschaps so the globes are popping out so their life is complete as they grind through levels. Thinking about it, seen plenty of near-naked Hrothgar. Meh, whatever rocks ya boats.

I've been seeing a lot of Viera on Zalera, but also a lot more Hrothgar than I expected. I made a new character as a Viera to test it out to get a feel of it, not really for me; largely due to the animations not being for me. Of all the female race choices, I like the Au Ra animations the most, followed by the more expressive Miqo'te.

Having previously been a Lalafell and having doubled in height with 5.0, this definitely took some getting used to but I'm loving the view from up here. Lalafell are so small now! I just want to pick them up. Not to do anything, just pick them up and hold them there like a half-arsed version of the Lion King.

As for the thread in general I'm seeing a lot of the new races but I admit that could be confirmation bias as I'm more likely think "oh look, one of the new races" than I am to note seeing any of the older races. Except Lalafell. I'm always on the lookout for them and seeing worryingly few. Personally I'm loving being a big goth bunny.

I'd love to see an interactive e-mote like that! Have a taller character initiate the e-mote and have a pop-up asking the lalafell yes or no?

Yeah, I have noticed fewer lalafell. Not a lot less, just maybe 25% less. I suspect most had the doldrums which hit late in an expansion.

You look great! I haven't seen another viera like yours. Have fun on your goth bunny lady!

On Cerberus there are some Vieras in non Shadowbringers Citys.

I was playing Mithra/Miquote a long Time.
Heavensward was a good Time for a Race change.
Now i stay with my Au Ra.

It's entirely possible that's just on your server. On Zalera the only place I've encountered Viera running around in their starting gear is in starting cities, ostensibly on new characters, where I would expect to see that. I have not seen it at all in Stormbringers areas. And I do mean at all. I can't recall seeing a single Viera in a Stormbringers area in their starter gear.

For me, I tried Viera, spent a day as one, was unhappy, went back to Au Ra, but then played around with the character creator some more and found a Viera look I like, so I'm sporting that for the moment.

And I am not wearing the starting gear. I'm not even sure if I have any for Viera. I don't think it gave me any when I changed. Would probably need to buy it from a vendor.

Yup if you race changed, you did not get the Viera race outfit. Would have to purchase it from a vendor. Only new character start with the race outfit.

I'm like the only Miqo'te in ShB.

Honestly, if I changed, it would solely be because of Viera's racial gear heels. However, I had made a promise to someone, who I convinced to switch to Au Ra with me, that I'd never switch since they were.

Eh, from how I've always seen it, the people pushing for Viera were mostly the same people here on the forums. I don't think it was nearly in demand as what the support was made to suggest. The hair and face limitations aren't really that much more than Au Ra face and horn option limitations, but people are quick to forget that. For the few hairstyles Viera have, they are nice - much nicer than most of the standard hairstyles, to the point that I'd rather have Viera's quality over quantity, but then again, I don't really change my hair that much to begin with. I'm rather happy with the two I find myself switching between.

I've surprisingly seen far more Hrothgar. Not to say there aren't a lot of Viera around, but I've seen more Au Ra, Miqo'te, Hrothgar and Midlanders in comparison.

[Mingqin]

They're very common on my server, you can't walk an inch without finding a mass gathering of them.

[Tanama]

I've spotted a ton of Face 1 Viera followed by Face 4 and 2. Face 3 seems to be the least favorite from my observation. As for Hrothgar, their face distribution seems about even thus far, at least on Hyperion.

[DevilsDontFly]

I wonder how popular they are on the japanese servers, since JP is known for having a huge preference for Lalafell.
