What size would be 5'10" - 6'0" for a mesmer? - Guild Wars Forums

hi there, starting from the top on size for your char, how many "clicks" down do you think it would take to be around the size of 5'10" - 6'0"?

I did 5 clicks down from the top, and I still seem to be a giant in town usually! Or do people just generally make chars small... But thanks in advance if you have an answer/info/estimation.

Also, it's for a male mesmer.

I'm not sure how one goes about measuring such things in the game, although it is amusing to think about.

My first guess is that maybe you could do some research and find a historical standard for the size of a longsword or some similar weapon. Then you could take a bunch of screenshots and count pixels to nail down the correct proportion for your character.

Most people seem to like making small characters. I have a tendency to make most of my characters on the tall side (I even have two with max height) and they're always towering above the rest. Even my middle-height characters seem to be tall compared to other players.
Especially female characters seem to be on the short side. Maybe people think it looks better or something.

I don't think there's any good way to convert the height marker into feet or centimeters. And I think 5'10-6'0 is pretty tall anyway, so you shouldn't mind if your character is taller than most players (I'm about 5'6 in real life, which is about an average height for men and towering for a woman). Just go with the height that feels best for the character, don't try to make it into an exact number.

Kind of late "bump", but how about for a male warrior? I think they are the tallest by default? I'm thinking 8-9 clicks down.
