I personally think it would be cool if there were different races that you could be in GW... Such as an Elf, Dwarf, Kender, Orc, Goblin, etc.

Post comments, suggestions, diff. races, and critisism

They may very well do that with the expansions. Ofcourse it would also mean they would have to add new slots for character creation unless they are going to make people delete characters.

Okey

Sorry I'll stop...

My bad...

I'm a bit of a newb if you hadnt noticed...

Actually, I was really hoping for some original races, rather than the same 'ol - same 'ol from pretty much EVERY game out there at the moment. Elf, dwarf, etc etc... it's all been done.

This topic has been done to death, and it shouldn't be a very high priority for the developers.

Agreed, but they should NEVER be allowed to enter an outpost/city of Tyria. You have to remember that humans control Tyria, and that all other races are either in hiding, such as the Serpents; or kiled off, like the Druids. The other intellent races, like the Tengu and Charr have been in conflict ever since they were given magic. They should continue this important theme by forcing the various PC races to war, and never to socially associate.

I'm fine with other player races, just no elves. One of the things I love about Guild Wars, no elves. After World of Warcraft and there damnable night elves it'll be too soon if I never see another elf again. So other races good, elves bad!

If there is going to be a new race, it will be Dwarves. Those races are allies of the humans and they would be able to enter outposts and towns while fitting with the lore.

As for stuff I'd want, I think Centaurs would be an excellent addition. It would be strange seeing a half horse half man trotting down a street thought.

this shouldn't be that hard because they already have the minotaurs/centaurs/dwarves... and rangers/necros look like elves and drow

its just... please put elf next to my name

exaion · Jun 05, 2005, 05:56 PM // 17:56

Dwarves are strange though. While humans are Everywhere, Dwarves are only found in the Shiverpeaks. I think this would make it strange if Dwarves were made a playable race. I can't see Centaurs be made a playable race, as they seam to be constantly waring with humanity too. There is far too much racism in Tyria for other PC races to work, in my opinion (I know I don't want to group with a dirty Tengu or Centaur).

perhaps a godly quest given by dwayna herself which allows you to be reincarnated as a dwarf... why you'd wanna be one, gimli? i do not know.

Rhombus · Jun 05, 2005, 06:02 PM // 18:02

I think dwarves should be playable. They live in the shiverpeaks, and an expansion would be able to give them a new storyline, making them go everywhere they want too. I really love how dwarves look with hammers and axes. its like they were made for those midgets... i mean dwarves!

seeker monk · Jun 05, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

i don't WANT to WAIT for an expansion.. i want them to fix the game now...

fix the game.
SO IT MAY NOT REPRODUCE... (just kidding)

Rhombus · Jun 05, 2005, 06:39 PM // 18:39

I don't really care if it only comes in an expansion. This would lower he amount of ppl that will play with dwarves, which would make me 1337er

nah just kidding, but I don't really care if it'll cost me some money (only if the whole expansion is worth it of course) Just dont let it be like the sims, where they make a new expansion every week.

Yojinj · Jun 05, 2005, 06:46 PM // 18:46

Naw more then just one race and don't be so picking with camps and citys.

I'd love to be a charr Necromancer or a real Undead Necromancer.
But i think those Races should just give you a different look, not other abilitys/stats.
This would keep things balanced and it would be cosmetical only.

Rhombus · Jun 05, 2005, 06:59 PM // 18:59

ye good Idea, not like u'll miss a dwarf in PvP more than a human, just because he's smaller, and everybody allways aims for heads

eA-Zaku · Jun 05, 2005, 07:18 PM // 19:18

I want to be a centaur. Ventari and the Losaru centaurs look really cool. If all you're looking for is a graphical change, then I don't see the point...

Hell, it's strange when Humans walk through the Shiverpeaks. So maybe ArenaNet can come up with a plot for it...

EDIT:

Maybe you could begin in Borlis Pass and you need to assist Prince Rurik getting through the mountains, and then you decided to follow them into Kryta. That could work!

Swarnt Brightstar · Jun 06, 2005, 12:44 AM // 00:44

I think it'd be cool to be a centaur... I would definitely be the first centaur!

Nice idea Ginko with helping prince rurik... But he kinda DIES!... but you could AVENGE his death or something...
