VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[Pip_Chick]

That's the opposite of my point.

My point is, they made a choice:

1. Work on male Viera and female Hrothgar simultaneously so both are half-finished at the same time and fully finished at the same time, both released in 7.0.

2. Work entirely on one first, finish them, release them in 6.0. THEN work fully on the other for 7.0.

They went for the second choice so at least one of the two races could be complete sooner, and it's logical to have worked on the more popular race first so that more people could be happier sooner.

It's not "fair" in the sense that everyone has to suffer an equally long wait. But wanting other people to arbitrarily be as inconvenienced as yourself is also not fair in a different way.

I disagree, I do belive it was wrong to release one without the other. Male Viera are here and there is nothing I can or would do about it. But I wholeheartedly belive that they should have confirmed their inclusion in 7.0 and release at the same time. The players would be happy for the confirmation and as long as no one says anything about one of the 2 races being done and waiting for the other. Then none would be wiser.
And for me at least and keep in mind this is very subjective. It was crushing to see male Viera and no female Hrothgar, seeing everyones reaction and being unable join in the fun, cause it was just that demoralising. And I get the same feeling whenever I see a male Viera. You got your toy, I got the half teared napkin with a faded IOU scribbled on it.

The alternative is that you're both holding an IOU. Either way you don't have anything right now.

Indeed, or perhaps even the darker reality in which nobody has an IOU of any kind because they remained firm on their decision to leave Viera and Hrothgar they way they were. People forget that male Viera were not an inevitability - they were revealed as a rather big surprise after years rejecting the claim that they ever might exist and outright radio silence.

IMHO the choice they made was the best one given the circumstances. Yes, it meant one race was finished before the other (the easier race to create I'll remind everybody), but it also meant the IOU had something tangible to show for it. On one hand future femHroths got a ripped napkin, but they also got a promise with hard evidence that eventually team YoshiP will fulfill the promise they made because how could they not when male Viera are right in front of them?

This deep desire for other people to be as disadvantaged as them out of some bizarre sense of FOMO and embarrassment is nothing short of perplexing, hideous and petty, quite frankly. "You should have nothing because I have nothing" is just not how... anything works. It's preschool playground logic.
