Jor El.5260 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) We all know that race plays an important role in your heroic journey in Tyria. Thus, I wondered which race was the most popular or the most played with. What is the best race, the superior race, the race that YOU like the most in gw2 ?? Answer the poll pls ! Or you are dead tomorrow. Say why you think that your favorite race is the best. Furthermore, below you can also state all the arguments, for example, history, appearance, culture... It is not serious guys ! 17/08/2024 Asura is making an unexpected comeback while tengu digs its grave deeper. Norn is completely outclassed ! Will charr remain the best race ? 21/08/2024 The poll is closed ! 20 people have voted for asura, making for 24.1% of the total sample of 83 people. According to the gw2 forum, asura is by far the best race. Charr comes in close second. Norn is the most hated and least liked race in the gw2 community. Tengu is actually not playable ! Yet it made more than norn !! Last chance to change things, at the end of the day, the poll closes definitely.

Farohna.6247 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 The best race is the one you enjoy playing. Purely subjective. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgotten Legend.9281 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 What do you mean by "best"? Best story? Best racial skills? Best Racial Armor appearance? Cause for gameplay, all those things are fairly negligible 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randulf.7614 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Science can answer this! Firstly, we can eliminate Charr as they are the worst race. Next we can remove Tengu as they have similar rigs to Charr and are also an animal/human hybrid. Norn are friends with Charr quite often, so they're out. Asura and Sylvari appear to have no animosity towards Charr, so they sadly have to be eliminated too. That leaves Human (female or otherwise) who defeated many Charr and thus must be regarded as the best race Science prevails once more my friends! 3 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is there a statue of Pyre Fierceshot, grandsire of Kalla Scorchrazor, in the game then and not a statue of Gwen, the Goremonger? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A statue erected by charr in charr lands and a nickname given by charr due to their fear. Although he did befriend humans, so even he knew in the end who was better. Gwen a humble flute player, flower picker and one of humanity’s great heroes, needs nor would want a statue. But she does have her own theme tune and her ancestor went onto be the greatest of all Destiny’s Edge. A man who put his Queen before his Charr friend when it mattered. A hero. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are misinterpreting I quote": A poor warrior abandons his best weapons". - Pyre Fierceshot Humanity was a simple tool to build something bigger, a mere stepping stone on the unity which the Charr society became. Pyre knew what to do: Creating freedom and unity and leading his people into better a future. Gwen was driven only by vengeance, killing people left and right, innocent or not. As long as her boots were soaked with Charr blood, she had a reason to keep going. What a fine hero humanity praises. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinurak.5307 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 The Best charr hero though, Is Olma! the first sandshifter. Legion charr are fine, but the Olmakhan are the best charr! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Before Mic arrives, it's worth pointing out that no matter which race people generally like the most, it's clear Charr is the worst one. 😉 Obviously there's only one correct "meta" answer.

Obnoxa.6702 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Norn. I'm a 181cm tall Canadian woman with loud red hair and an even louder mouth. And who doesn't love a good beer? Or 2... or 7? I think the reason for my affinity with Norns are pretty obvious 😆 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthan.5236 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Troll detected: Listing Tengu that are not playable and for humans limiting it to the female ones. 😄 I always go with male chars first - usually only one male char. Since I do not like to belong to the "male players posing as female char" type of players. For diversity and since I played GW2 much more than other MMORPG (making chars for each profession) I have 5 males, 4 females though. Got one for each profession and filled the male ones first. Made one for each race. Most ugly races came last. So ... only 1 Charr. Other ones are okay but a normal human fits me best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jor El.5260 Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 Conclusion with today's results: tengu is as much played and loved as norn and asura race in gw2. But what class is the most played on tengu ?? We will see later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky.4861 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 By removing the obvious troll selections (charr and human female) we see that the true master race is Sylvari. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
