AVIANS AND APEX. Why does everyone hate them?

    Personally, my favorite race is the Avians. I never understood why them (And the Apex) are usually barraged with hate. Also, why are Florans so popular? And the fact that they overuse S's isn't a reason.

    Well, I don't think the Avians are hated, I've seen a lot of people who like Avians, Apex though... I don't know much about them. I do know they don't get a lot of love.
    Anyways, who is hating on Avians and Apex? I've never seen this. (Unless you're talking about in game, because I haven't actually played Starbound in a while) What are people saying about them that indicates they hate them?
    But... That's one of the reasons I like them though...

    I like both. But the hylotl are tastier.
     
  4. There was a racial poll on Steam not too long ago that revealed that many people enjoy Avian :nuruwink:

    I only play as a Human cuz I am boring like that. And don't really like any of the other races. Just my opinion.

    I mainly see people playing as Florans and Novakid's. They seem like the more popular races for some crazy reason. But I agree that Avians and Apex are the least common to see. But ofcourse everyone has their preferences.

    In the case of Apex, most people ironically don't like acknowledging their inner ape.

    theres crazy people out there flat out saying they hate them and actively seek them out to destroy them

    now replace "crazy people" with "people like me" and by that I mean "me"
    I do have a reason, ill just say its related to the game Spore (Ill say more if someone asks)

    You know, I've heard more people talking about killing Florans, humans, and Hylotl than Avians and Apex.

    Also, what could have possibly happened in Spore that could make you hate them?

    Avians aren't hated. Lots of people play Avian.
    Apex are generally disliked because they are boring, simple as that.

    during spores space stage there are several archtypes of people you can encounter, the "zealot" was one of them. not just one species, but many many of them
    they were aggressive and were hard to make peace with, and when you did they charged you large amounts of money to maintain that peace
    it was cheaper and more fun to simply destroy every last one of them in the galaxy, that habit has transferred to starbound

    The Apex and the Avians, the two species I like the most... :I
    Though Avians do seem to be fairly popular. Unlike the Apex, who many people just outright declare the worst race.

    But how does this have anything to do with Avians or Apex? >.>

    I just like Floran because it's unique and cool. (Short version)
    I don't hate any race in Starbound. I like them Equally, exept when it comes to Floran.

    the avians are increadibly zealous (so basically the zealots) and some habits are hard to break
    and I never said anything about the apex, I dont really mind them (the revolutionaries)

    I fail to see why anyone would dislike the avians or the apex. I originally thought that the apex were uninteresting because of how they looked, but once i made an apex (Jeff) I actually quite enjoyed using him. But thats just me. And as for the avians, i don't have one as a character but still, they're bird people. so what? Me personally, Novakid FTW

    Title came off a bit strong there, didn't it?

    They may be the "least favourite" of the bunch (for Apex at least. I've seen quite a bit of users with an avian as their avatar) but, then again, some people like the smell of rubber cement, the reason being completely beyond me. What are ya gonna do?

    People like what they like, for a myriad of reasons. No opinion is invalidated on (un)popularity alone.

    I've never heard of people hating Avians or Apex. But I do hate those no good Hylotls using all that water and sparing none for the Florans.

    The Avians and Apex happen to be some of my favourite races in the game. So, the title's leaning towards hyperbole.

    My order of preference is Avians, Floran, Novakid (with Novaskin mod), Hylotl, Glitch, Human, and then Apex. I don't hate any race, with the exception of some mod-added ones, and I fail to see why anyone would hate any race in the game, aside from a lack of development (I.e. lack of species content like villages, unsatisfactory lore, etc.). Hyperbole all around...
