Sry, there was a problem with the server so it posted 2 threads. Plz post in this one.

That sounds like a pretty good idea to me, however, if it is an expansion where would the story start and end? It would be pretty cool to pick a dwarven faction, but again if it was an expansion it would have to have a new story or else it really wouldn't be much of an expansion. Maybe after nightfall they could have a land north of the shiverpeaks, where the dwarves originally came from and the story could go from there, along with the idea of choosing who's side your on, the Deldrimor Dwarves or the Stone Summit.

/signed, i think its a really good idea since i have discussed this w/ him and agree that we need more factions and more Tyrian storyline and wrap-up.

strong1 · Aug 06, 2006, 03:10 PM // 15:10

I had an idea that might make it easier to implement this, possibly without the storyline. I used to play games that would come out with little plug-ins that were cheaper and smaller than full blown expansions, Oblivion is doing it now, selling $2 pug-ins between major expansions. I think Anet could do this with GW, a 10/20 dollar pack that gives you the data, without spending 50 bucks for a whole new thing that would need a storyline, thousands of new people and stuff. With this idea, alot of people are already there, it just needs some new content.

xBakox · Aug 06, 2006, 05:26 PM // 17:26

I've posted this before, but why not (like strong1's idea of plug-ins) have a small 'plug-in' expansion pack having 1 race for each chapter (1-3).

For Tyria, simply re-make the starting cutscene explaining why a dwarf (the ideal new race for Tyria IMO) woud be in Ascalon and why he would fight for them. (An idea that comes to mind is that a huge party of Dwarves came over the mountains to trade and sell goods to Ascalon, but on the way there the Charr snake up on them and steal most of the good and so they want revenge, or something...I'm sure Anets writers could come up with something better then me).

For Cantha, maybe the Tengu decide because of the plague they want to learn more fighting techniques from Shing Jea or something like this.

They could add a few quests here and there for the races and maybe one brand new armor for them and charge 20$ on the online store or something.

Quite simple IMO.

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please stop suggesting this. This is being suggested like, 5 times a day.

Please don't spam the thread. I'm sorry if I posted a repeater, but this version is my idea and I'm getting good replies on it.

I like your ideas xBakox, they make sense and I also like the Tengu suggestion.

Hockster · Aug 06, 2006, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Why does everyone want different races? Every other friggin RPG has different races. Go play one, or ten, or a hundred. Quit beating a deader than dead horse.

Every other RPG has weapons! Every other RPG has skills! Why does GW have them they are so stupid!

/end sarcasm.

People want them because there are very few different ways to customize your character other then a poor customization and different armor. Because it would bring a new vareity to GW and allow people to actually grow attached (at least more so) to there character despite PvE that isnt the best.

If I wanted to go play WoW or Lineage or some other bad MMO I'd go play it, but I like GW the best, and races would only make the PvE experience better IMO. Dont like them? Dont make a different raced char if they ever allow us to play them. Everyone has different ideas, but more customization isnt a bad thing.

Quite possibly the lamest response ever posted on any message board anywhere. Let's have dwarves and elves and make Guild Wars even more generic. Or, how about not.

/notsigned, go play WoW please.

New races are a giant waste of time. Massive expenditure of time, energy, and money on art assets for something that doesn't alter the gameplay one bit? Wow, that sounds like a _great_ idea.

Keep Humans as the only playable race. nuff said

I say they should make tengu cause there awesome. Also they could do alliance battle between tengu tribes

pappayaponta · Aug 07, 2006, 08:09 AM // 08:09

Listen to this, If you wanna make a human you can choose between undead human and normal, and if ya wanna play dwarf choose between summit and deldrimor. In this way we get bad ppl and good ppl

Uninstall GW, go the WoW website, buy the game, install it, play it.

We don't need that stuff in this game.

Anryla · Aug 07, 2006, 09:37 AM // 09:37

I dont like this either

If races where added it should only alter the Look of the character and nothing else. Sure, dwarves are perhaps stronger or something but that will only create unbalance and therefore races is a bad idea.

As lame as telling people to "go to WoW". And every generic RPG lets you play as Tengu... Have you played Prophecies? There already ARE dwarves, just cant play as them. All these races being discussed to be played as are already in the game. Having elves or being able to play as "bad" races it just stupid IMO. None of that human vs undead, dwarf vs Summit thing.

I never asked for a change in stats, and I agree with you totally there.

GW won't turn into WoW with new races, and I'm not going to go play WoW.
