Burial.1958 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So now that PoF didn't add any new race which one would you like to see in a future Xpac? Personally i would highly like to see a dwarf comeback. Would fit perfectly into the story now and this race has a rich & big lore. Second Choice would be Tengu for me.

Knuckle Joe.7408 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 i'm guessing expac 3 will be cantha and the deep sea dragon... so largos would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Hide.6345 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 All Dwarfs are stone though, so I don't see them coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burial.1958 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Dwarfs are "stone" yes but they fight an eternal battle against primordus in the depths of tyria and acting as guardians. That means that we go there in future perhaps. The Asura are originally from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai.9256 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The all dwarves are stone thing could be easy- We just play a dwarf that IS stone!I think with the newest gemstore item we won't be getting largos, seeing as we've just chopped off their wings and are flashing them around as a fashion item. While they would've been cool for me Largos are officially off the table.Tengu would be amazing, and their starting location would be beyond their wall, perhaps intro story mission a instance of them deciding to finally open up to the world.I don't really see a reason for the other two races, Kodan we barely see outside of their environment and Jotun seem to be a bit mindless ish now, definitely well-fallen from their previous status as chosen of the gods.

Ravij.9856 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Tengu was supposed to be one of the races playable upon GW2 conception but for some reason they did not make it into the final cut. I would like to see Tengu finally added. I've had a name reserved for a Tengu since launch on an alt that is just taking up an extra character slot I could be using for my Tengu.

syntohras.1064 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Dwarf pls. I liked them so much in Guild Wars and c'mon they have the best Armor design ever and that in every Game/Movie hehe. Also Lore wise this race is a good choice. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/df/c5/ba/dfc5ba48ab18fc59c8c932a44bc4eef2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiiirf.3201 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Tengu or Dwarf (for me they can add both). Pls no Largos im sick and tired of those wing dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castlemanic.3198 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I voted tengu because it seems like largos are never going to happen. Since the introduction of those wings in the gemstore, it's a very clear sign the devs are saying largos will never become playable. Same with the kodan combat tonic.

ananda.5946 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I’d prefer no new races of those listed. Most would just be variations of charr (tengu, kodan) and not many people play them. Armours look bad on them, they are too big, et cetera. I’d much prefer they make a lot more armour sets for the existing races. If we had to have a new playable race, I’d choose choya. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zahld.4956 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Make each race a new mastery that has new skills and abilities like mounts. Armor changing could be optional too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doam.8305 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Race SwapSome people have mains and yet have no desire to remap and recollect hero pointsI'm all for new races and specs but only after class/race change is an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maulclaw.4365 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 This topic has been discussed over and over a million times. There are no resources or time to focus on a new race. It's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyria.6103 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Tengu, Hylek, or Skritt. But seeing as only Tengu was in the list, it was an easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopeUrban.2578 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 We don't need another expansion where the major "feature" is "roll another character"Adding multiple races is one of the reasons content feels so sparse in GW2 compared to GW1 in the first place. It drastically increased the financial investment required to create dialogue, armor, and animations for characters.People like to remind everyone that art assets were cheaper to produce in GW1 as a means of explaining why there was so much more armor and so many more skills, but forget that the fact that there were only ever two animation skeletons and variants of any armor set meant that each took significantly less work.In addition, adding classes in GW1 was added content for existing characters because of the secondary class system. It made sense there because classes were a system that didn't require a reroll to use them.Adding races is a non-feature. Races add nothing compelling to the game compared to what we lose. It was the same situation with adding revnant. The decision to add a class took away from the art, animation, sound, and design team that could have easily in stead been used to ship HoT with 2 elite specs for the characters you already have.The point of expansions is to extend content and rewards. Adding races actively hampers the ability to extend content and rewards while creating a requirement to actively stop playing existing characters to enjoy them.We don't need more races, and we don't need more classes. We need more armor, more elite specs, and more actual content to play. Yes, these things are mutually exclusive. The same art and animation staff required to make one makes the other.

Guild Wars do have a big lore and it is a fantasy game in first line not some FPS. I loved the dwarves in gw 1 because they are cool and have a nice background (same as Tengu). For a MMO it is essential for many players that u can identify with your toon. And for real the new elites aren't that good. Heck even for PvP/WvWvW it is more a disaster now because there are plenty people which are not in love how bad the balance now is. Im a player who doesn't play a MMO only for rewards. Perhaps im too old school now. I grow up with games like Baldurs Gate & Co. I do not need any baggys (or carrots) for getting me happy in a game. Some features aren't often that big on the paper but big & strong in your mind. Don't forget this hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
