Make it happen.- Because current year isn't any more of a reason than previous current year, the current year before that, or the one before that, etc. And because the game's coding, as ArenaNet has themselves has stated, makes this prohibitively difficult and that this cost isn't worth the potential reward. 3 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 What APs are rewarded for doing the Personal Story for each race? There are only 8 APs rewarded for the Personal Story; one for each of the 8 arcs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I can't find the quote now but I remember someone from Anet saying when this came up a few years ago that they actually did try and because the game was programmed with the assumption that a characters race would be one of the things that never changes a lot of stuff is tied to that so changing your race could permanently break the character, to the point where you may not be able to log in to them again. Making it possible would likely be a lot of work, and it's not a commonly requested feature. It has come up before, but far more rarely than other things which are also not completely impossible but far more work than it's worth. If there ever was an opportunity to do one of those things and how often players suggest it was the deciding factor my guess is we'd get the ability to dye weapons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boz.2038 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Blah blah stupid reasons against, as usual, because "reset my story" is totally not a thing that can theoretically happen at all. Hell, even "skip my race story", because race becomes irrelevant by level, like, 40. 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Perhaps, you weren't around when they tried changing the Personal Story way back when. It caused all manner of bugs, and had to be reverted back to the original. There are still missing parts for some players to this day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) There's is story tied to the race, so there'll most likely never be a race change. If you want a character of a different race, you'll have to make one. Edited February 17 by Fueki.4753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
