Endless Soul.5178 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Since I have 11 asura out of my 16 characters, I think it's safe to say my favorite race is asura. Charr is a very close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedek.8932 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 If you are on PC (or another device with a higher resolution), took a look to the left and right artwork, look at the lowermost people. Is this even a question?As Yordle and Lalafell, it is clear and simple that I am also an Asura fan. Not only a "fan", I am a hardcore "Asuracist". It is like the ultras for a certain soccer team.I was almost always the shortest: In Kindergarden, 20 years ago at the school enrolment. It was common for me to be called "Zwerg" (Dwarf) in the family instead of Tobias. During the mid 90s, when we were playing an MS-DOS game called "Das Schwarze Auge" ("The Dark Eye"), a RPG based on the same Dungeons&Dragons derivate, each of the family members got a character, and I was the dwarf of course.Since then I am diminutive. Now, I am 1.75m and thus a bit more normal in size, but my first character in 2010 in "Leauge of Legends" was Tristana (and she is STILL my main) and later Teemo. The game was full with "Hurr Durr buff warriors with tons of muscles" but I just sat there as 80cm guy in the bushed and killed them with my traps. This "underdog" feel is great, also, they are cute. In September 2013 I created a Lalafell for the very same reason. A Blackmage does not need a huge size in body, but a great mind, and burning down foes or put the biggest monster asleep with my 95cm small Papalymo-clone was just funny. Too bad the races have no real purpose in FF14.When quitting FF14, I came to GW2 because it was one of two games offering a diminutive race that is not a dwarf. Fat midgets, matted, filthy beards and axes? No. Sorry Gimli. It was TERA (with these badgers) and GW2. I could not decide for weeks straight until I picked up another gameplay video and saw a female Asura lady wearing all pink, waving into the camera and then burning down people with a flamethrower, zoomed out. It was a little, big eared lady murdering all kinds of tall folks. That moment the dice have fallen. So add all the above here, just add an outstanding lore behind it. A voilá: My Asura has been created. Actually twins, because I dropped Engineer (Zedekk) in favour of my thief (Zedexx). The lore behind the Asura and the way they are represented is beautiful: A race that has a lot of control without actually bullying anyone - it's like today's tech industry. It's not the military that is ruling the world secretly, it's the convient computer industry: Google, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung. I also like literally every body feature of them: Their feet, they claw-like hands, their ears, and overall body stature. Heck, even their shark teeth. After getting used to GW2, I think every other races of video games are super bland.My Asura twins, both born on 45-Collosus-1300 AE, are not just random characters I would not mind about being deleted or something. They the perfection of what I always wanted in video games and is the glue and the reason for me why I came here, why I am here and why I will be here.~Fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nayukhuut.4269 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 For me, I prefer Sylvari. I'm also partial to Charr, but all my mains are Sylvari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralDusk.1670 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I had 3 out of 9 characters as asura. When I recently unlocked two more character slots, I promised I would NOT make another asura so I can have at least one of each gender for all races.I now have 4 asura.

Celldrax.2849 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Four of my eight characters are Charr and is also my main. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Definitely the norn here. It fulfills both my wants in a toon: the norn men make me feel big and boisterous, and the norn women are bootylicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I love playing classics, like huamns, but also I LOVE unique creatures too. I voted all, but my main is human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maizan.8516 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I enjoy charr. With Sylvari a close second. I like the charr run animation especially. I like sylvari because I feel it's a pretty unique race in the realm of fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I picked sylvari but the charr are such a close second it's almost equal, and the asura are very close behind.The charr are a big part of the reason I got into Guild Wars. My younger brother was playing it one day when I was back at my parents house, doing what I think was the Fort Ranik mission and the charr caught my attention because they didn't look like any fantasy/sci-fi race I'd seen before, and the fact that they were using magic and weapons and tactics implied there was more to them than just being generic monsters. That, combined with finding out it was an MMO without a subscription and a very brief (not entirely accurate) summary of the skill system convinced me to buy it. (Then of course my brother quit a few months later.)I'm always on the look out for races and cultures I've not encountered before in fantasy. Admittedly I won't avoid a game/book/movie because it's got elves and dwarves in it, but I'm much more interested if it's something original.I prefer playing sylvari because I like the variety of appearances (particularly skin and hair colours) available and because I find it easier to invent sylvari characters, but I like the others too.(I don't mind humans or norn either, I just don't find them as interesting although they still have their unique aspects, particularly humans not being the dominant race in Tyria...any more.)

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Sylvari first because they have so many different and unusual colors, faces and hairstyles. Then Charr second, because it's one of the best beast races I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay.2735 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I really liked playing Female Asura as my main but eventually I swapped to Human only because I found it impossible to play Fashion Wars with nothing but pajamas and other weird outfits that all look alike. I wanted more girly options and there weren't enough so yeah I swapped to Human. I don't think Human females have nearly as much character and are kinda bland but gosh do they have awesome options for fashion wars! AND I can actually SEE the outfits without using a microscope!

Schewe.1673 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Wow... it's really refreshing to see Charr have become more popular! I remember when they were one of the least played races in the game, at least according to some early polls.Charr is love, Charr is life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
