You don't even understand how much work it is into making this supposed "simple addition that is gonna be sooo much better for the game" When in fact, its just people that don't even play the game or play so less that its obvious they aren't the target audience and never will be (and a gender swap won't change that an we all know it)
First of all its not gonna happen because THE LORE. you don't play YOUR character. You play A character in the game. As in THE Witch, THE Warrior (not A Witch, A Warrior) The fact that you give a name to the char doesn't mean that in the game's story the character doesn't have the same status as say Geralt for example.
Second, the effort it takes is gonna be a lot more than making an new class itself. Quick list for those who have no idea how game dev works and think gender selection addition is gonna happen with a finger snap:
- Concept work/ Approval
- Modeling
- Rigging
- Animations
- extra UI work
- New Voice lines (both for the character and from NPC's during the story)
- New Lore
- Alternate art for all ascendancies (cuz its gonna look weird to play, say, a female Titan and having the art be the male one)
- Re-rigging and remodeling of ALL MTX IN THE GAME TO FIT WITH THE GENDER SWAPS
All this costs time and most importantly MONEY!!!
So yeah, its not gonna happen. I would much more prefer that they actually make a good game, with a nice gameplay loop and mechanics, than pour all these resources and dev time toward a cosmetic feature that has ZERO actual impact on the game. Thank you.
[Removed by Support] Its easy just to ask for stuff and take it for granted when you don't know how the sausage is made.
There are a lot of games out there that have unnecessary features that could have been left out in favor of actual game content. But instead both the games and gamers suffer due to a shitty product that just LOOKS good, but isn't.

This game identity is stil unclear and the community is split on many ways regarding which direction GGG should commit.
Ask again when 1.0 is out because right now, a lot of players, including myself, are waiting to see which way they're going with 0.5.
If they do commit to slow pacing and ridiculous loot pinata like temple mechanics, some people like me will simply delete the game and never come back.
i really dont think temple is even remotely close to the slow pacing. temple with ridiculous loot is like even more zoomies high octane crack cocaine style.
if they go for slow pacing utilizing meaning full combat in which why they added parry raise shield and dodge.

No, go watch the interview with with John espiritu.
you type so many and none of it is in alignment with what the intervew was all about.
basically, they rigged everyone the same so when you change skin or MTX, they do one and it can apply to all.
based on that, they can just swap character model, since all of them use the same animation for every skills. hope this helps :)

Thank you. I haven't had the time to watch that interview, so I will check it out.
However, I am still inclined to politely disagree with you. Them rigging all characters the same simply removes one point (lets say 2 due to animations) from my list. All the rest is completely valid and in no way misrepresenting the amount of work that "simple" genderswaps will need.
The removal of 1 out 10 problems does not mean that the other 9 will magically poof as well and don't have their own separate problems to account for.
While i have mentioned rigging and animations you have defaulted to dismantling my entire argument based on that inaccuracy without addressing all the other points I have made.

why cant your characters just identify as their chosen gender?
no need for them to change anything.
classes are as they should be.

I agree that those are the main reasons, lore and money.
Every character have a deep (some not so much) background that is interacted with along the campain, It would add way more than just new models.
But who knows, maybe on a far, far future.

I think the laziest way they could do this is just to let you use any of the existing models they made as any ascendency/starting class. It's not perfect but it's probably way less work than full character creation. Bonus if they then let you mix and match any voice you wanted and just call it a day.
I do see why this is lower priority though, the game has far more fundamental things they need to work on first.

These are 2 different things and I hate both of them.
The slowpacing I'm referring to is the nerf of movement speed, large ridiculous maps with bad pathing. If they also commit more toward combos to fight regular mobs then this game will be absolute trash.
As for temple, you described it well. I call it excessive reward. It's completely ridiculous that you could drop 10k+ raw divines after a month in the league. And it's not just even raw divines, all the rare currency has a much higher chance to drop there.
Mapping is one of the worst way to get rewarded, the game is in an absolutely broken state in my eyes. I absolutely hate the game in it's current state to the point I would become radicalized if I kept playing it.
I've deleted it on december 27th. I will read the patch notes for 0.5, if I don't see any improvement for movement speed I will not even bother.
I will also wait for at least a month, with video feedbacks of people playing the game to have a picture of the state of the game before reinstalling.
I was literally playing this game no life before 0.4. I remember when Blizzard betrayed the player base with Diablo 3 and I'm waiting to see if GGG will do the same. I have completely lost hope anyways, I just wan't the confirmation that this game will be ruined beyond repair.
