Whatever I can make have the most tattoos.

Atm i would choose either asura human or sylvari. Though when gw 2 comes out EVERYHING COULD CHANGE AND MY OPINION NOW WILL NO LONGER BE THE SAME AS IT WILL BE WHEN I AM CREATING MY FIRST CHARACTER

-Relics- · Dec 16, 2008, 03:18 AM // 03:18

Can anyone imagine a warrior asura???? That would be hilarious!

Cale Roughstar · Dec 16, 2008, 03:28 AM // 03:28

Charr.

Pyre Fierceshot is a badass, plus, Charr look 10x cooler than anything else in the whole game.

Oh, and looking forward to Sylvari too

No idea yet. I have to see the races in action, see what they look like and stuff. See if there is anything special to playing a certain one.

My first class is gonna be a warrior type though.

Humans because I'm a human.

Kook~NBK~ · Dec 16, 2008, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Depends on a few things:

1. What professions are available for each race,
2. What each race looks like (GW2 versions)
3. How well my character name(s) work with the race in question (I can't see a Charr named "Chanti Beppu," for example)
4. Whether GW2 will ever actually exist
5. If I even buy GW2

probably sylvari if i can make their skin purple because they seem the most like night elves.
SO HAWT OMG

I put the professions in quotes because Anet said they will change the professions, so I will pick whatever is closest.

However, if each race has a different dialogue or availibility to certain quests (like how characters from different continents cannot do specific quests in GW1), I might make a Norn "Warrior" and an Asura "Mesmer" - if anything, to be event characters.

Same here. If they do decide to make Tengu playable, I'll be making a fourth character:

"Assassin" Tengu

No, nothing has been told about when something will be announced.

I hope. I don't know how long I can keep waiting. But D3 will be the main merchandising opponent for GW2 I bet.

Already been stated to be different professions. But I think the 6 core professions will stay - just slight twisted (and some skill ideas from the expansion professions - including Chronomancer - will be added to the core professions).

By the look of one of the Norn concept art for EN, I assume that they will be able to transform to a were<enter spirit name>. The concept showed werebear, werewolf, and werepig. I hope there is an elite form spell that transforms us into weremanpig. That would make me make a Norn.

Yes I can

All of them if I'll have enough character slots.

Shayne Hawke · Dec 16, 2008, 04:26 AM // 04:26

Are you assuming that there would only be one race that I would want to play?

Different races = different benefits = specific professions may work best in certain places.

Besides, I'm not going to limit myself before I see what my options are.

Zinger314 · Dec 16, 2008, 04:39 AM // 04:39

If anyone assumes that ArenaNet will have the same number of races available at launch *coughifitlaunchescough*, then they are crazy.

Every MMO in the past 3 years has been launched unfinished and/or with races missing.

shoyon456 · Dec 16, 2008, 04:43 AM // 04:43

All of my race/profession combinations will obviously hinge on how the racial benefits play out. However, from my initial perspective, I suppose I will be making:

-a "Dervish" Sylvari

-a "Dervish" Asura

-a "Dervish" Charr

Assuming the game comes out, and if there is nothing resembling a dervish.... well, lets just say my HoM will probably go to a friend or someone who makes it worth my while

Since we know squat about classes, proffessions
I'm going to play as Commander Ryker, then I can do what ever I want, break all rules and be a general pain in the butt.
