Well seeing as how I'm into the peaceful ways and such (insert hippie comment here) I'll probably go Sylvari.

a reason that will make me rich

Phase 1 Collect underpants
Phase 2 ?
Phase 3 Profit

As for me I will probably check Sylvari female Ele first

lol just think of Norn vs. Asura in PvP

"dont make me headbutt your ankle!" :P

An Asura Sin is wrong on so many different levels... well maybe the ground level at least, they havent quite reached the rest.

Gregslot · May 03, 2008, 11:44 PM // 23:44

Human of course.

I dislike giant arrogant people, also dislike small arrogant mouses, also dislike crazy kitty and... plant people? huh?

Looking foward to play as a Tengu, if possible.

Aera Lure · May 04, 2008, 01:36 AM // 01:36

Hmm. How can we ask this now? We dont really know anything about how races work in GW2.

My favorite so far is Sylvari. Based on the very little we know its as close as I can get to an elf-like race - elf/nymph/dryad/druid anyway - and that's what I like hands down in most any fantasy setting, so its safe to say no matter how Sylvari actually come to work in GW2 its what I am going with. I dont like Asura at all and dont wish to play a Charr, so if I'm going to play any other race than human I only have one choice anyway, unless there are more races we dont know about.

On an aside, I dont have any problems with GW as a franchise having dwarves (they already do) or elves, or any of the other so-called expected fantasy staples. I dont see a problem with it. To me, its more important how the race is used within the game system, and in GW, that could be different than anything that's been done before. Doesnt matter though - they've specifically said they want their own race types in the franchise.

Char/sylvar/norn

I wouldn't want be a tiny gnome (asura), and if im going to look human, I might aswell go for a big human with ursan pwnage

I don't think they will, on wiki, it says after the events of EotN, the Charr and the Norn gained mutual respect because of the common enemy dealio, also seeing themselves in the almost same position lead to respect. but yeah, i might either be Charr/Norn, i like the culture of both races. think it will be fun to play as both of them.

I would say human is my favorite. But probably because they will be the under dogs in GW2.

But after the human my favorites would be the Sylvari and then the Charr.

Zsig · May 04, 2008, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Providing they don't make Sylvari exceptionally more beautiful than Humans, I guess I'll just stick to humans.

Richardt · May 04, 2008, 06:01 AM // 06:01

Go go Charr!

I've always liked these beasties, and when I heard they'd be playable in GW2 I jumped for joy

Vinraith · May 04, 2008, 06:08 AM // 06:08

GW2 still fills me with dread and trepidation, but playing along:

The Asura amuse me greatly, there's nothing like a race of tiny smart-asses. The Charr may prove to be entertaining as well.

Game N Die · May 04, 2008, 06:09 AM // 06:09

Norn for me, for sure. I just love the way the huge weapons/shield look on Jora...and I love to hack and slash

Well actually I metioned sin, but we don't know if any of the present proffesions are going to continue into the next game. I have a strong feeling most of the core ones will however.

Jongo River · May 04, 2008, 10:40 AM // 10:40

Kinda difficult to have a favourite right now, but in terms of which I will likely play, this is what I imagine my order of preference to be:

Sylvari - Hopefully, depends how they turn out
Human - Probably
Norn - Maybe
Asura - Not interested
Charr - Not interested

netniwk · May 04, 2008, 10:47 AM // 10:47

Sylvari - Depends,if they are more like dryads instead of pixies.
Human - necromancer
Norn - If i don't have to run around in a generic bear form the whole time,yes
Asura - no
Charr - If they aren't over populated

Elena · May 04, 2008, 11:23 AM // 11:23

least the Charr won't have to deal with praying to gods

you hear me you ungrateful highup donothing gods!

THERE ARE NO GODS!

roar!
