Damocles.4908 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I have been playing pvp for a long time and most of the times players use the human race and if not, its usually a race for a specific class. i.eAzura: Meser, theif or necroCharr: ...not too sure, see them the least, ranger? war?Tree people: ...necro...meser..Norm..: Guardian, minimal clothesHumans: war, necro, theif, gaurdian. engi, meser, ele, rev, baker, cheese maker, harbour master, architect etcWhat I have ofren don't see beforeCharr: ele and meser, rev,gaurdAzura: warrior, revNorm: elementalist, meser, engi (okay maby i have seen a few) ,revCabbage people: ele, war, revIt feels kinda weriod playing as an only charr for 6 games...anyway this was for light hearted fun but Id still like to hear your opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannir.4132 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The meta is strong. I'm still wondering why the enemy team is always only humans, and they even always have the same armor on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 PVP to most people "showoff the best part of you"... All other races doesn't look beautiful... So they used humans... Atleast that's what I think... But I might be wrong... But people use norn women they look good too...And a few veterans and skilled players use minimal clothed norn male... Idk why they do that... But it might be too provoke the enemy...Once I met a norn pvper and asked him "why are you being naked?" And he replied with a question "why not?" I got no answer for that...

Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Norn kids look like human children... Maybe the game tuned towards human characters...idk maybe that's how the world works??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 But I see lot of asura in PVP... Maybe they thought having a minimal surface area means low probability to receive damage and evasions will favor them??? Maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProtoGunner.4953 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Lol what a fail, ofc he has the standard models. Also is OP kinda dyslexic? It's horrible to read, Gaurd, Theif... ouch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueFyre.5678 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 In PvP and WvW I strip my opponent’s of their character identity by forcing them to be standard models. No silly Asurans or Charr running around, just bland humans everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alatar.7364 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I met only one Charr Mesmer in my many matches and don't recall any Charr Eles.So, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but I can’t stand a lot of the Visual clutter a lot of players in WvW use on their armor/outfits most notably Char/Norn where the effects are magnified.

Mbelch.9028 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 IMO, Asurans are so unfair in PvP that it was a godsend when they introduced standard models. I'm glad they're humans. Humans are a good size for the "point game" rather than norns and charr (too big). Sylvari would be fine as an option, though! @Xuazinegueri.3592 said:@Yannir.4132 said:The meta is strong.

Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The problem with the other races is too me that thier outlandish features kinda take away the focus of the armour and equipment for me. All races ezcept norn look reallu ugly if u dont have some nice armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfb.7025 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Yes, PVP is flooded with Humans, I see quite often a few asura/sylvari/norns back and then... but for charr I see one like every 3 games or so, definitively the least played race on PvP for what i've seen.

sephiroth.4217 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Weird thread but I have 31 toons but oddly enough most of them lean towards the areas you say you don't see much of...I love Charr animations, so I got a Charrdian and a Charrmancer, I wanted to create a Mes called the charrmer but haven't got round to it yet, ended up callin him Arcade Warrior instead pimped out in all SAB gear.... But I thought I'd post my Norn ele because it's like a circus ringmaster.The stache is sxc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentfir.7430 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Wasn't Asura at a time also the master race for PVP because it was really hard to see their animations due to model size? Hence why we have standard models now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
