Xar.6279 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 New playable races are worth making - even if it takes alot of work.Why?Because its "Fashion Wars". People care about their characters look. While new race changes almost everything in this case.Also... Story is very important part of Guild Wars 2. While new playable races would let us go deeper and improve immersion.That's why I think new races are even more important than new fractals and raids. Especially in such casual game as GW2. Which race you would like to see first?I vote for Dwarves! :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrlyFactor.8341 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 There's been tons of threads about this already. We really didn't need a new one. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 The Devs have stated it is unlikely we will see a new race. Of course, nothing is ever off the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einsof.1457 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 All fantasy archetypes are already represented in the 5 we have. A new race would be a huge waste of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANet has the exact statistics anyway.Wouldnt mind something like largos for example though, but to be honest dont think it will happen and i also dont really need it.

zealex.9410 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 New race its somethign thats been asked as much if not more than mounts.

Naxos.2503 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I still say that it's not necessary to have new races : Just make new combat tonics. It's rather interesting to play as an awakened with their Endless Awakened Archer tonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the same in any way. Plus Races require way more to design and implement than a mount, depending on how they implement them of course.

Palador.2170 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 As I've said in other threads, I think we'll see a new race once the devs run out of easier ideas for expansions. I want a new race (Tengu), but ... yeah. Even with part of the work on them having been done already, that's a TON of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaCoty.5721 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 ArenaNet are only interested in farming as much money for as little work as possible - this was evident when they advertised PoF as "content heavy", or mount skins, or regular content updates for gem store items.

hugo.4705 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Instead of asking for new races, ask for tonics representing those races, more helpful and easier to make.-Tengu Tonic-Largos Tonic-Harpy Tonic~Already have kodan.~Already have hyleks~Already have quaggansPs: plz, awakened asura tonic, golem mark I and II tonics.

MetalGirl.2370 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 If they don't make content, you'd have nowhere to play those races.So no, it's not worth it, it's not a dress-up game.Let's say they gave us new race... you'd finish maps and story, which would be exactly the same and which you probably did billion times before and then you'd come here to say how there's nothing else to do. Then you'd go back in and play dress-up and realize that 99.99% of armor pieces are clipping and look ugly and you'd come back here again to ask for content and they'd tell you "Ummm, I thought you wanted us to make a new race, so go have fun replaying the same thing just with different looking character".I don't think new race would make old content more fun.

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 How about if ANet makes outfits that changes the body parts, like the way the Rainment of the Lich gives you goat legs. ANet can make outfits that turn the char into a Tengu or a Largo, or any other race. A “New Race outfit” will be useable in combat, in water, on mounts and will be dyeable.

I think they would have to improve tonics quite a bit to make this an equivalent alternative.Making outfits compatible with the specific racial tonic forms (and making tonics usable with mounts) would be an amazing start.
