Icemanfrost.5428 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I wanted to pick a new race for toon. I forget the name there is a very short troll looking race. I worry that people will think I am not as important because I am not as tall as everyone else. I know it sounds silly. Honestly I'm afraid that I will not be considered equal because I am shorter. Is this normal or is this silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you can win beauty contests in this game only as a human female with chaos gloves, ad infinitum, the scarve and glasses...but since there is no real beauty contest other than what you think is beautiful you're free to choose what you play.(Imho, you still lose fashion wars when rolling an asura, but that's just, like, my opinion man/girl/helicopter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Like your other concerns about characters, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. If a character makes you happy, then it's fine. No one cares if the character is too tall as a Charr, or too short as an Asura. Don't worry about others; just play the game and have fun doing so.

Cyninja.2954 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hitboxes are identically among all races and size.As such any meaningful impact is identically. Visual size is purely cosmetic and has no or minimal bearing on in game performance (and that usually goes the other way, huge models being in the Visual way of others).

Danikat.8537 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I can't see how there could be any correlation between a characters height and the players importance. Especially in GW2 where race is purely cosmetic. The game is designed so that anyone can play any race they want and the vast majority of players know that and don't worry about it.

Is this normal or is this silly Have you seen the amount of rats, ehm, Asura in the game? That alone should encourage you to make one of those trolls. You'll be just as important as everyone else, because no matter the height (or lack thereof) they all perform the same tricks. It's not silly, it's illogical to think people will dismiss you over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowmoon.7986 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 This topic is reminding me of short people by randy newman (yes from toy story)They got little hands; And little eyes; And they walk around; Tellin' great big lies; They got little noses; And tiny little teeth; They wear platform shoes; On their nasty little feetYep sound like an asuran to me.

Castigator.3470 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Since you're new, how about an introductory video instead? by WoodenpotatoesAside from that, the asura are actually very important to the world of Tyria, since their Waypoint System® and the Portal Network® are both operated by them.

DearlyMe.5320 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I think the term you want is goblin, not troll, as said by the first sylvari to encounter them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a joke to most, and actually very unoriginal if anyone would go for that look in a serious attempt to look unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asura females are clearly more feline than rodent. They're a far better choice than males in terms of aesthetics. The best option, of course, would be a mini golem body like Blish.P.S. the correct headgear is cat ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trise.2865 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 To be perfectly blunt, I don't think I can take you seriously regardless of your character's height (he says, a Charr in a cardboard-looking silver dragon costume). Thankfully, neither of us has to! You do your thing and I will do mine; if they overlap, that's great!Besides...Cepha:An exhaustive study of Tyrian physiognomy led me to derive what I call 'Cepha's Constant'. Multiplied by the mean ratio of body mass to brain size, it yields an important racial metric. Namely, said race's importance as a factor in the Eternal Alchemy. Asura scored highest, naturally. Then, in descending order, we have sylvari, charr, human, and norn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
